I think with it being Valentine's Day this week, being in the tww that isnt looking good at the moment, and the EDD all happening at once... its just hitting my like a ton of bricks .

 

[lilesMom]

i know hon , its a really tough week for u xxxx hugs xxxxxxxx
try and keep in ur head, that it will pass and everyday brings u closer to bfp xxxxxxx
hard i know but its what kept me goin when i was low xxxxxxxxx

mommylov. 10dpo was still quite early to test so you never know. I know what you mean though, not feeling hopeful yet part of you still praying for a surprise...it is tough and I really feel for you, we've all been there xxx I agree with lilesmom - trying to think of every day as bringing you a day closer to your bfp. That is a great way to look at it.

I also think it's a really positive step with starting to temp. It just gives you absolute confidence that you did ovulate, since sometimes you can have the LH surge and get the +OPK but then for some reason not ov. It always made me feel better to see the temp rise a few days after my +OPK. If this isn't your cycle then hopefully the next one you'll learn a little more about your body and what's normal for you xx

Lilesmom that is so great about V day I can't believe you're that far already! So crappy the iron is making you feel that bad though Can you take indigestion medicine? I know it's safe to take something like Gaviscon in pregnancy but I don't know if it is ok to take it whilst on iron. Sounds rubbish hun

Well I ended up going to Mothercare and I was sure their website said 2 for £16 but I was wrong! But they gave me a £5 off voucher, and the saleswoman found me a bra in my size in the sale for only £3, woop woop

 

[mommylov]

Thanks smiler and that's awesome that you got a great deal on a bra!!

 

[lilesMom]

smiler £3 was a great deal plus i like the £5 off good day shopping

[Smiler82]

Ooh what film did you see?

 

[lilesMom]

we went to see hitchcock, it was a lot better than i thought it was gonna be
i thought it may be boring cos it is slow moving but its not, its very watchable and enjoyable that and 'wreck it ralph ' were only 2 on so early in the day so we chose that. i would have gone to other one too but my sis has 2 kids and was sick of kids tv ha ha
hope alls weell with u smiler xx

mommylov hugs for today honey, hope ur ok? xxxxxx
r u working? xxxxx

hi and hugs to all. hope everyone is doing good xxxxxxxxxx

i slept for 14 hrs last nt i feeel soo much more normal today , i caved and took rennie goin to bed ( i only took 2 yest , i hate taking things if i dont have to, but i had about a week of near constant heart burn ) , it let me sleep all nt , was lovely

 

[Smiler82]

Yeah, how are you mommylov? Big hugs to you for today, thinking of you xxxx

Aw Lilesmom don't worry about taking some medicine for your heartburn, it really is ok to do it. But at the same time I know what you mean, like I know it is ok to take paracetamol and when my head was pounding the other day I took 2, but still felt guilty. Can't win eh! But so great you got loads of sleep, bet you feel great for it

Yesterday I had a day FULL of energy, was so weird! Was still awake at 1am though and consequently am feeling tired today

Cool, glad you enjoyed the film. I thought it looked a bit strange! We usually wait to download stuff on our TV as the cinema is so expensive. But I did go and see Les Mis last week as my friend gets that 2 for 1 deal with Orange. Nice to have a night out

 

[mommylov]

Thanks ladies, doing ok so far

Hope you girls are doing well and having a good day/night

 

[lilesMom]

smiler i know they r ok to take but i dont wanna make a habit of taking anything
for me and bub , i had a heartburn free day today hurray
maybe new iron tabs r working, maybe it just took a few days to get galfer outta my system , i hope
im gonna skip it tmoro too cos i dont want heartburn on my spa day, bold but only 1 day
we went to cinema by day, its nearly half the price i dont usually go lots either but i went today with my other friend too
saw 'i give it a year' , not a bad film, quite on the predixtable side but pretty good

amy glad ur holding up ok sweetie, xxxxxxxx

xxxxx to all

Hello Ladies,

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend! I go back to work tomorrow for the first time in 9 days. I had the whole week off last week with vomitting and diarrhoea (mostly the latter) and I am both looking forward to and dreading going back tomorrow.

MommyLove, I'm sorry that you got AF. It might not always help, but I always try to think of it this way, each cycle, each day in fact, brings you closer to your baby. More recently, one of my little mantras has been that this path will lead me to my child. Yep, this path, this very one I am walking and living and breathing right now, AF, tears, sweat and cervical mucus included! And the same goes for you. Every little thing you do on your journey, whether it is going for a walk, taking a vitamin or bding, all those little things together will culminate in the creation of, carrying of, birthing of and finally meeting your little one... how amazing is that! Don't give up hope xx

Hopeful, what pushchair did you order? I can't imagine how exciting it must be for you both Good Luck with the building work and remember to rest, rest, rest! Nap at every opportunity xx

LilesMom, YAY for V-Day I'm glad you got some relief from your heartburn. I get it from time to time and it's horrible when there is no relief. I feel for you! It sounds like you've been having a really lovely time recently, I hope that is still the case xx

BabyBeMine, it's lovely to hear good news about your follicles and lining. Is it strange for you to know so much about your reproductive organs now, compared to being in the dark and just hoping for the best before? What is the next step for you now? (sorry if I'm being ignorant ) xx

Smiler, I can't believe how far along you suddenly are! How are you feeling? Do you have a tiny bump showing yet? Your £3 bra is awesome, it's the little pleasures right?

I am 11dpo today. I have managed to convince myself that I'm pg with some out of the ordinary symptoms, but only time will tell. When I think about it properly I get scared that AF is going to show up on Tuesday... because I know how devastated I will be. But I also know it's possible. I hate the tww limbo!

Anyhow, my symptoms are spots - my face is covered in them and I'm usually clear skinned around now; sore boobs, whereas it's usually just my nipples, this time it's in the fleshy part too, radiating outward from my areola, even up under my armpit too sometimes. ouchie!; slowly climing temp, my temp usually starts to drop a couple of days before AF, but is actually climbing slowly; cervical mucus is currently scant, cloudy, and stringy, like fertile mucus, whereas it's usually copious, cloudy and creamy.

So, either my hormones are doing their job really well, causing all these out of the ordinary symptoms OR I'm pregnant. Only bfn for the past two days... I am, of course, praying for a bfp and hoping SO, SO hard that I don't have any cramping or spotting tomorrow as it's the last day in this cycle. But, of course, it's out of my hands right now, so I will just wait patiently and hope for the best (also known as stalking baby stuff on pinterest, haha)

I hope you lovely ladies have a great week xx
