Thanks, all. My test was positive last time on CD 14, same as today, but was only barely visible and it was twins, so I'm hoping implantation is a little later this time and is just a singleton so showing later but I'm pretty sure I'm deluding myself. I just can't get rid of this bitter taste in my mouth though. We shall see. My cycles may have changed length a bit as I wasn't tracking them the last couple - I know they weren't really long or short but don't know to the day, IYKWIM.
Yazzoo,as for the drinking, Last time I started not drinking in the 2WW, then thought, "sod it, this could go on for months and years", so had a few beers and then found out I was pregnant with the boys a couple of weeks later, so it obviously didn't affect implantation but you have to do what you feel comfortable with. The thing is, if you don't get pregnant you may attribute it to the drinks so it might be better not to, just so you have nothing to beat yourself up about! That's how I feel now, I stopped drinking before OV this time, I only have a couple of beers here and there anyway, I know what you mean saying it doesn't feel right.
Nights out are hard, I've only been to one and was proud that I managed to hold it together but had a major meltdown later. I only went because it was to see our chef off, who was going home to Switzerland and he'd been really kind to me. If it had been folk I could see again at some point I would have flagged it, TBH. That's not to say you shouldn't go, just don't force yourself if you don't feel up to it, and bugger anyone who doesn't understand!
Andy, you in the randy week yet?! Haha Randy-Andy! GL girl!
GL MummyStobe, enjoy!
Erica, don't stress about the drinks, there's no real blood sharing for at least the first 2-3 weeks after conception, usually longer. I was unaware I was pregnant with my DD till I was 6 weeks gone and was partying hard. I was really worried but she is absolutely fine, the MW reassured me at the time.
The baby might well use up some of those calories to grow as well, before you even get to the BF stage but don't stress, plenty time after. All that's important is that lovely wee rainbow. I'm considering hiding my full-length mirror so I can't see, I reckon that's a fine option, just don't look!
Kam, any other news/symptoms?
Collie, anything to add?
Mhazzab, hope you are well, honey.
Thanks MM.
