Freddie - how did the pizza turn out? I love pizza!

They were good. One was chestnut mushrooms, spinach, artichoke and pine nuts.

The other black olives, spinach, caramelised red onion, goats cheese & mozzarella.

euronorris, are you in the UK now? Where were you living before?

Yeah, we were living in Holland before. Long story short, things got very bad at DH's work, which caused quite a few issues for him (Had a breakdown) and for us. So we moved back to the uk and in with my folks for a while. DH eventually reached a settlement with his employer and the help of a good doctor got him back to a good place. We recently moved into our own place and got married and are now ready to TTC.

Been a bit of a bumpy road, but we got here and are much stronger for it

Thinkpink - yes, I did used to post on the waiting to TTC thread.

How is everyone today? Nothing to report here. CD4 and just wanting AF to finish now lol

Hugs and babydust to all xx

OH got a bit upset yesterday. At work there's a bunch of people who are pregnant and three of them were sat around chatting within ear shot.

Talking about, oh how they don't bother with this or that. Not taking vitamins, not fussed about diets, oh no there's no point bothering to do that, no not going to breastfeed. Good for them I suppose, ignorant cows.

Going on like that for a while and obviously that's incredibly upsetting for someone who has been and was trying to do absolutely everything possible to ensure a healthy pregnancy but still was terribly unfortunate to end up with the baby having anencephaly and having to go through a termination.

I really don't think some people actually appreciate how lucky they are.

Who brags about being negligent? As if it's somehow something to be proud of that your baby is healthy despite you 'not being bothered' to do anything to help that?

Sorry to hear that Freddie. People can be very thoughtless sometimes.

It seems so unfair that it seems to happen so easily, and smoothly for those who don't bother. Feels like there's no justice in the world at times.

I don't understand not wanting to breastfeed. I know it's not possible for everyone, but I can't understand not wanting to even try when there are so many benefits to it!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys, and everyone on this thread xx

Hello everybody!

CD 21 here. Just done an early test, I'm terrible can never seem to control myself. I think there may be the teensiest tiniest line there but I could well be imagining it ! Got cramps and bloating today and feel generally the same as I do pre AF! So annoying.

Hope everyone else is well.

I've just completed the reebok spartan race and I am shattered!

Roll on Wednesday and my week in the sun :j

euronorris

Well done JTR!

How many DPO are you Pickle? Fingers crossed for you!

FreddieFrugal

Fingers crossed Pickle

That does sound very early! Do you have a very short cycle?

OH seems to be on a 31 day cycle now with a 7 day AF. However OV seems to be happening at the same time as if it were a 'typical' 28 day cycle.

As an aside, I reused some of the left over stuff from making pizza for lunch.

Toasted some whole grain bread, spread with remaining tomato sauce, topped with slices of goats cheese and black olives. Then under grill for a minute it heat it up.

Delicious! My original using up plan was just to eat the ingredients straight fom the fridge...this was much better!

Pickle25

Thanks. I am probably just imaging it as OH can't see anything.. Time will tell! I have quite short cycles of about 25/26 days but they can vary in length. I think I am maybe about 8DPO!

Your pizzas are making me hungry freddie! They look lovely

Oh God!!!! I can't tell any in the real world as hubby and I have promised to keep it secret but

Bfp!!!

Going to do a posh test in the morning then I may just believe it! If its true then once again I've conceived on cycle 7!
