mouse Good news, that must be a weight off your mind!!
vic keeping my fingers crossed AF doesn't show it's nasty face.
Going to have a 'last ditch attempt' DTD tonight as it's the day ovia app is showing OV and I have had some EWCM so will see.
Roll on testing time, hoping this will be our month.Christmas is the most magical time of the year :santa2:

((((Hugs)))) Angel, know the feeling well and it's never nice.
Husband did well tonight, went out to buy some milk and came home with cider and doughnuts too (not quite wine and chocolate, but I'm not complaining). Hay fever is kicking in this week, so going to make the most of not being pregnant and take all the pills I want!0 -
Love and hugs to everyone!
Well I'm still sat here, Af (or cowbag as she shall henceforth be know) is now 15 days late, theres now 5 BFNs, and I've now started feeling queasy as hell, and starting to pop the Gaviscon along with paracetamol for the horrible headaches I have at the moment!
I finally popped along to the doctors and she assures me it's perfectly possible to be pregnant and have lots of BFNs especially if theres all kinds of hormone issues going on. So off to have bloods done tomorrow for a pregnancy check, check my thyroid function as issues with that have stopped my periods before and little things like Iron and B12. So I'm fed up in this kind of limbo, I dont want to be fooling myself that I've got pregnancy symptoms when I havent and end up really disappointed.
But, oh blimey, I do think I'm actually going to be _pale_ for the second time tonight!0 -
Fingers crossed for you Selina. xEnjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.I married Moon 8/4/2011, baby boy born 26/9/2012, Angel Baby Poppy born 8/11/15, Rainbow baby boy born 11/2/20170

selina I've got my fingers crossed it turns out to be bfp!!
I've been for a swim this morning, which was really nice. I haven't been for ages and really enjoyed it. Planning to go more regular as most of my other exercise will have to stop once I become (hopefully) pregnant, where as swimming I would be able to do all the way through. Had some cramps this morning - just noting it all down on my app and trying not to get too excited about anything and SS & TWW is always stressful otherwise haha!Christmas is the most magical time of the year :santa2:

Sorry for the lack of list today. We had an impromptu bbq as it was sunny and my parents came over. It was all going well until my Mum asked me if I was pregnant! I've been really bloated lately - think my IBS may have flared up due to all of the recent stress. AF doesn't help with the bloat though.Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.I married Moon 8/4/2011, baby boy born 26/9/2012, Angel Baby Poppy born 8/11/15, Rainbow baby boy born 11/2/20170

Evening all, thought I would quickly pop on before I go up to bed.
Big5 Definitely make the most of non pregnancy and take the hay fever pills. I have the same logic with dippy eggs
Slinky_Selina I am really sorry you are stuck in limbo. I really hope the blood tests come back with a BFP. I am going to keep my fingers crossed for you.
Newthrift I keep thinking that I should go swimming but never seem to get around to it. I have been trying to get my bum in gear with diet though to try and get myself into good habits before pregnancy in the hope I don't gain too much.
Still waiting for AF here. If it's going to come I just want it to come so I can get started on the next cycle. I really am no good at this sitting and waiting.Nov Grocery challenge - £0/£3000 -
vicvics yes i've been trying to keep my diet mainly healthy for the same reason. I've found going back to slightly what I used to do has helped. which is either cereal or porridge for breakfast, on a weekend I'll have a bagel or toast. For lunch having either jacket potato (with cottage cheese, side salad/leftover chick & veg curry/pasta salad/scrambled egg on toast and for tea we do have actifry chips 1-2 times a week but then making sure we have a mixture of veg with meat in however I feel like making it. Snacking on fruit mainly. It has defiantly helped me keep fuller for longer. I do glass of milk & biscuit or two at night. I was trying so hard to eat ''clean'' that I would just gorge on food I was denying myself. (sorry that was a bit of a paragraph haha!)
Oooff did I just feel a bit sick this morning_pale_ a cup of tea and extra strong mint seems to of curbed the worst of it. It's surely too early for any PG signs so goodness knows what cracking off in there!Christmas is the most magical time of the year :santa2:

Hey all, hope the wkd is going good so far.
Still not much to report here. A little bit PMS (skin breaking out & feeling a bit grouchy), but we've just booked holiday for our anniversary week after next, so it's all good.0
