Ps castaway - that's amazing you're almost back to pre preg weight, well done!

Re penis beakers - it's this hilarious thread on mumsnet (have you heard of mumsnet?! I think it may be a uk thing...)

Anyway - check it out: https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/a1875847-Do-you-dunk-your-penis

It will cheer you up if you're feeling low, guaranteed! I have it saved as a 'favourite' web page so I can have a chuckle whenever I have a bad day

Enjoy! Xx

i had the tiniest bit of brown spotting and today nothing,this happens sometimes,think the witch will get me properly tomorrow.Although ive had no cramps today either.
Ive already got myself a new pair of boots which hubs will be paying for as he came home late and very drunk and upset me last week,so this is his punishment!
Glad to hear you're going for it next month Twinks

 

[Fleur29]

Glad you enjoyed it castaway ;-)

Dogtanian - that's exactly what I had before I got my bfp with my dd! So you never know... Weird that you had no cramps. Keep us posted!!! Will you test in the morning if no af?

Ha serves your dh right! What is it with men getting so drunk? Anyway the boots sound like a good pressie to me

 

[Twinks]

Ha ha loving that you're getting some new boots Dogtanian!! I love wearing boots at this time of year

Glad you're feeling well Fleur

There's lots of fireworks round here tonight which is lovely. Going to switch on X Factor soon :-D

 

[CastawayBride]

I treated myself to a new hair cut/highlights low lights (I got some red in my blonde!). I am treating myself to some "in between jeans"...jeans I can fit into while not yet preggers but not fitting in my pre-pregnancy jeans lol I am also going to swing by Coach and check out the purses....

We go away this weekend coming up too! Can't wait, need to distract myself till we can start trying again

 

[Sparky8795]

Oh my ladies I can't keep up with all the posts!! Looks like everyone is doing well and I love the boots and spa treats for whatever! lol

Dogtanian fx'd you aren't out this cycle!

This time change is awful! Was out late at friends last night so little one slept a bit longer but 2 naps today. Hopefully tonight goes smoothly. Back to work for me a full 5 days this week after my last Mat leave I have been using holidays and taking every Monday off. Not sure I picked a good week to go back full time.

 

[Dogtanian]

I am officially out.Im just eager to get on with the next cycle.
Boo to full time work Sparky,hope it goes ok for you.

 

[Twinks]

Castaway I'm so jealous! Desperately need my roots redoing! I'm treating myself at the end of this month
Sparky sorry you're back at work full time, I'm sure the days will pass quickly though and before you know it it'll be the weekend again
Boo to the witch Dogtanian I know what you mean about being eager for the next cycle. Im waiting for Af- I'm on cd22 and if the witch turns up I'm keen to get on to next month (plus then it'll be Christmas too woohoo!)
I'm still 9 lbs off pre pregnancy weight. I managed to get down to 4lbs off my original weight and then through a lot of bad eating have gone back up to 9lbs over. I have eaten well today so far and I'm upping the exercise
Have a fab day everyone :-D

 

[Fleur29]

Hi ladies,

Sparky - hope work is ok and the week goes fast.

Castaway - ah I love coach stuff, you should def treat yourself! Where are you going on your mini break??

Dogtanian - sorry to hear af got you. I hate it when I have spotting before full flow - always makes me think I could be in with a chance. Hope you're enjoying your new boots anyway.

Twinks - 9lb isn't too bad! I lost a lot of weight at the start of the year and now it's all back on! And lets face it - as long as all goes to plan with this pregnancy, I'm only going to get fatter??! I already feel quite porky. What is that all about do you think? Just bloat and having bigger boobs? Just makes me feel massive!! I'm not complaining but I just think its weird!

[Dogtanian]

Sounds like you are doing great Twinks.
Ive put on loads of weight,i literally cant stop eating.I havnt been swimming for weeks either.In some ways i feel more relaxed not putting pressure on myself,but i feel like a fat mumma! OH says it doesnt bother him,but you never really know with men do you?
Im starting to make all my Christmas plans and im also hoping for a BFP by then too.It would be lovely to know there is a lil bubba in my tummy for Christmas.I must stay positive!

 

[Twinks]

Thanks ladies. I've had a good day eating wise today I'm seriously bloated though in my tummy today and my boobs ache a lot. That being said I always get achey before AF lol so that wouldn't be a symtom for me. Fleur I don't know about the bloating but they say you show quicker with a second don't they? I know I'll show quicker as my tummy is a lot bigger than it was and my stomach muscles never came back ha ha. Totally worth it tho :-D

 

[Mrs W 11]

When are you testing twinks? Good luck.

Sorry af got you dogtanian. Ill keep my fingers crossed for your Christmas bfp too! So exciting, I got a few new Christmas decorations yesterday and I enjoyed taking Freya to home base seeing all the twinkly Christmas lights!!

I've got a week until testing, tww goes slow!!

 

[CastawayBride]

I know this past pregnancy I showed MUCH faster. It was crazy....my stomach is just starting to feel like not pregnant if that makes sense? lol I can actually suck it in.

I am about 9 pounds from pre-pregnancy weight, was up 30. I am using this app, Lose It. I love it! It tells you how much you can eat for the day. I tend to go over twice a week and STILL lose weight every week! I should be at pre-pregnancy weight for Xmas, even if I get a BFP I will do the same, try to lose during first tri. I am considered morbidly obese although I carry the weight well as I am pretty tall 5'7....I also have no health problems. I hope to get back down to 220....I actually looked good around that weight. That would be about 50 more pounds BUT I am not going hard at it till after baby. One thing at a time! lol

We are going to Baltimore, Maryland. Doing the aquarium and will be able to start baby dancing again. I cannot wait, its been too long! LOL

 

[Dogtanian]

I hope the TWW goes quick for you W11,the last one was torture for me! How many cycles have you been trying for?
I havnt weighed myself for ages,i wont go near the scales as it makes me feel depressed.Im a UK size 16,was a very small 14 before pregnancy,but ive also been a lot bigger.Im happiest as a 14-16.Everything just seems more wobbly since pregnancy!

That is exactly what I want to get back to a 14/16. I am now a 24 when pregnant, back down to an 18/20 when not. I am teetering now at a 22 as I have lost most of the baby weight but my stomach is so much more jiggly...yuck.

With my son and this pregnancy we were pregnant the first cycle. I don't know if we will be blessed that fast again but I sure hope so!

Now that I am doing the Lose it app I weight myself every Weds. I am hoping to be down at least another pound tomorrow, we shall see

Hi everyone. Just wondered if anyone had experience of antibiotics during TTC? I feel dreadful and think I have a sinus infection. Im pretty sure I'm not pg, but as my cycles aren't clockwork yet I wouldn't be able to test to be sure until Sunday when I'd be cd25 c11DPO.

 

[Fleur29]

Hi ladies, well done everyone on weight loss etc. I found it was hard to try to diet when ttc as I kept thinking - well soon I will be fat and pregnant anyway! I hope I don't live to regret that....!! I'm a size 12 but was more like a 10 at the start of the year and I think I looked better!

Castaway - I think you have a really great chance to fall pregnant immediately again, keeping everything crossed. Your trip sounds really fun! When do you go?

Mrs w - hope the 2ww goes fast. Will you test early?

Notnic - I'm not sure re antibiotics - maybe check in with your doctor? Sounds like you are feeling horrid hope you feel better soon.

Not much to report from me - I have a bit of a dilemma - the girl I sit next to at work (and I love - I consider her a close friend) has been ttc for a year. She had a mc last spring and nothing since. I am really really hoping she falls pregnant soon, she so deserves it. However I'm already stressing about telling her about being pregnant. Obviously it's very early days for me, and we haven't told anyone and don't intend to, but I just feel really dishonest talking to her about her ttc journey and being a shoulder to cry on when I am not really being honest myself. Anyway I'm hoping she will fall soon but I just hate this interim not telling the truth time. It feels harder not being honest this time around, I don't know why.

I was in a similar situation last time Fleur. I had one friend whose baby they doscovered passed away when they had a 20wk scan and another who had, had multiple mcs. I dreaded telling them (I put it off til 20wks) and when I did I discovered both were also pregnant. Both went on to have 2 lovely boys, one of whom is just 10days younger than F. Speaking afterwards both agreed that they wanted me to tell them personally. Had they not also been pg they might have found it tricky but would have been pleased for me. I think allowing them to digest the news and accepting that they might need some space, would be the best thing to do. True friends will be happy for you, but may need to experience jealousy etc. first.

We leave Sat really early. Can't wait!

I have a girl at work who lost her daughter before me at 2o weeks, it was HELPS I believe? All I know it was deadly for both her and her daughter, they delivered and the baby lived for 2 days. It was devastating. Her and I chat about TTC and I honestly cannot wait for her to be pregnant again! The journey is a hard one but honestly the best you can do is keep trying!
