and Happy New Year everyone!
Well, I want to say a BIG thank you to you all for your support for me. It's so much appreciated. Linny - I really hope what happened for you happens for me too. I love my BF very much, we've known each other for 20 years and I think she understands me better than anyone. She's still being really supportive to me and understands my sadness around her BFP. If anything this makes me feel worse because I want to be happy for her but I can't be because whenever I think about it I feel sad for what I haven't got and jealous of her. This makes me feel like a horrible person even though I know it's perfectly natural to feel like this. I want to be there for her and share in her happiness but it's too difficult at the moment. Char - I really liked what you said too - I know that when I do get my BFP again (and it will happen) and when our baby comes then it will be so loved and wanted and we will be really prepared for it. Thanks for your lovely comments, all of you
Never - you must be going through an emotional rollercoaster right now! No BFP and no AF either. It's good to hear the stories from some of the others about getting the BFP really late. Fingers crossed this is what's on the cards for you.
SBB - Jesus is having a lovely sleep in there and maybe it's so cosy and warm he's not ready to come into the big wide world just yet! My brother's birthday is Jan 2nd and certainly as a child it was great for him because he could get presents that were for his Xmas and birthday combined and then get bigger and better presents!!! It's been harder for him as an adult because a lot of his friends moan about having no money to go out so soon after Xmas and New Year. He has to really plan stuff if he wants to do something special but normally if he makes the effort to plan it quite far in advance then it works out ok for him.
Kiki/Never - regarding the whole to drink or not to drink debate - I think it's ok to have 2 or 3 drinks if you're in the 2WW but not to drink excessively. TNT - I'm going to let my hair down tonight and have a good few drinks! My OH and I have promised each other a 3-month detox after tonight which basically involves no alcohol, healthy food and a new exercise regime - so I'm going to have several drinks tonight as a way of saying goodbye to alcohol for a while. Hopefully this will help get the BFP and that this is the start for me of 9 months plus of no alcohol (I never thought I'd say that!!!)
Yazzy - sorry to hear you're not feeling well but remember sometimes it's your body's way of getting rid of toxins that aren't good for the baby - so it should be a good thing (probably doesn't feel that way when you feel crappy but hopefully it will help to remember this!!)
Kiki - my LP is always the same - 14 days - so I agree with the others on this. Good luck for when you test, fingers crossed for you!!!
Have a lovely evening everybody and lots of love and best wishes for 2011!!
