one of my American colleagues had a baby 3 months after me and was back nearly 6 months before me - doesn't seem fair! But then I guess you are used to it if that's just the way it is. Great that your mum can help anway, gotta love grandma!! 
Yikes your washing machine drama doesn't sound good twinks!!! We had a similar happening a few months ago. Castaway, you're in the US right? Maternity benefits are so much harsher than here in the uk
we are very lucky here in the Uk with our maternity benefits. We get 9 months statutory but can take up to a year off. Will they monitor you more closely throughout your pregnancy if you don't mind me asking? 
Im so sad to hear what you went through Castaway.I think its amazing how positive and brave you have been.I sincerely wish you the very best for the future,and hope you will keep us all updated with your pregnancy and beyond.
Im a SAHM,and i find it exhausting,i have nothing but admiration for all you working mums.
I dont know whats going on with me,ive had terrible headaches since CD1,and they stopped for about four days when i believe i had the LH surge,now they are back.This is all since i came off the pill,its making TTC miserable for me
Weve just started ttc no 2, weve got a 22 month little girl called amy who is amazing! Also had awful HG but an uncomplicated pregnancy otherwise, till the end when I was induced, then amy was very ill when she was born ( shehad a bowel malrotation with ladds bands and volvulus) and nearly died, she had surgery at 2 days old..... it was awful. She spent along time in hospital but is fine now. Also lost a little girl at 22 weeks last year and noone could tell us why, so quite daunting to try again. Anyhow, Im cd 18 and just got my first high on my cbfm, and i am excited as i loved being pregnant, but obviously feeling scared after what happened., especially as no issues were picked up on any scans with either pregnancy. Soooo... where are you all at cycle wise?
im currently cd5 2nd month ttc I have a 2 year old girl Abigail after 5 years ttc her I have polycystic ovaries. I went to see my doctor yesterday about trying to start clomid which helped me fall pregnant first time but apparently because I now have a child the specialist wont see me so im to let nature do its thing and hopefully it'll be nice to me and not take long this time as desperately Want a sibling for my daughter but dont want a huge age gap so 5 years waiting is definitely a nogo! Hope all you ladies are ok and get your bfp soon! so will just be doing opk and see what happens from there, hoping my body is going in the right direction as I had a 28 day cycle this month which definetly shocked me because mines usualy 30-35 I just had such a lovely day with my dd today and I am feeling like its alright if I don't get a bfp yet as it just means I get more one on one time with her Twinks, really sorry about your sis. Pcos is by no means a definite barrier to conceiving though - I have several friends who have naturally conceived with pcos. At least she has found out now and can start doing things to put herself into a good position when she does come to ttc. Still rubbish though
Baby dust 1 sorry to hear your pcos story too - I'm really surprised they won't put you on clomid again. Where do you live? Could you see another doctor? That's really positive you had a 28 day cycle this month anyway, fingers crossed for you.
Castaway - how are you feeling? Hope you're taking it easy with that poorly ankle and to look after your little bean!!
How is everyone else? Any signs and symptoms? I am 3dpo and af not due for at least a week but I feel really periody today - horrid. Tbh I don't have any expectations this month and hope I won't be too gutted if af shows up next week but deep down i know I will be
Xx
