Love the pic Stacey!

Jenny - my heart is with you right now. It's hard to keep the hope alive, at least it is for me right now. I got a BFN on my pregnancy test this morning - but I expected that. No symptoms at all, so I expect to start my regular cycle tomorrow.

LucyLu - my cycles are short & regular 26 - 28. Today I am cd26. This 2WW did go by really fast and I think it is because I've stopped BBT.

KB38 - sorry to hear work is so crazy. TTC is stressful enough so with a crappy job I'm sure things are ten times worse. I believe things have a way of working themselves out. Hang in there hun!
 
thanks to you all for your support...slimming world today and ive lost another 2lbs so thats now 22.5lbs in 10 weeks YAY !!!
 
That's AWESOME Jenny! High 5 - you are doing great and way to go!

Well the witch showed up just now so I am officially cd1.
 
Well done Jasmine!!! Bet ur looking fab! And so sorry jenjen and kb! :hugs: to both of u x
 
Well I had my 20week scan today and everything was perfect :D she is still a girl so I now truely believe I'm having a girl which I am very excited about! Hehe my scan tech was lovely so couldn't of asked for a better experience, Evie was a good girl and stayed nice and stil while all measurements were taken and gave us a lovely wave! I've got 2 pics I will upload when I've dropped jack at nursery, just want to say thank u to all of u ladies for making this pregnancy special for me and for supporting me even tho most of u are hurting :hugs: to all of u xxxx

aw love your pics jm!...and your bump is sooo cool!

sorry to hear af came jennjenn - but that's good to hear that not temping helped to make the 2ww go quicker. Are you finding it ok not using bbt/opks? x
 
Lovely pics of Evie!

LucyLu - I've decided to go back to using OPK (but not BBT) for the simple fact I put a deadline on TTC - October 1. I really want to know if we timed BD to OV.

If nothing has happened by the deadline, I plan to get my tubes tied and maybe a boob job...:lolly: Just need a little help keeping the old gals from saggin' and draggin'.

So the reason I have that deadline is any kid born after that will be 6 years younger than DD #2. ALso, I'll have almost 6 years of daycare before he or she will be able to start school. It is either meant to be or not, but at least I tried and I have no regrets about that.

Hope y'all have a good weekend! Looks like we're getting rain!
 
JM - awesome photos. You must be so excited!!!

I can't believe you're already 10 weeks LL, that has flown by!!!

JR I really need your weight loss secret (or maybe I should just put the chocolate biscuits beside me away LOL).

I've got my fingers crossed that this is your month JennJenn. I'm glad you've made peace with what ever happens. You seem so much happier.

I'm 10DPO today, expecting AF to arrive on Monday. Sorry I've been a bit quiet lately. I've been really busy at work and trying to distract myself from ttc tbh as well. I'm feeling really, really overwhelmed by it all.

I had a baby shower to go to this morning and I cried for over an hour before I went. I really don't know what's wrong with me. I feel like I'm losing my mind. It is so out of character for me.

Anyway fingers crossed for this month or that the next few months go quickly so I can get a referral to a fertility specialist to find out what is going wrong. I need to focus on my diet in the meantime as I need a BMI of at least 25 to start fertility treatment. With all the weight I've put on I think I'm up around 31.

Hope you're all having a good weekend xx
 
PS I probably was up late the other night LL. I've been having lots of trouble sleeping but didn't notice you were also online otherwise we could have had a chat ;-)
 
I'm technically 11 wks if I count it from af - but since I hadn't got a +opk nearly 3wks after that af, I thought I'd put a modest guess at a week behind that, so I hopefully don't have to put my ticker back a few days after the scan iykwim :haha:

Opks sound like a good compromise JennJenn - I found bbt much more stressful than opks. I thought it made the 2ww feel so long checking temps. Nice to know you've done all you can tho after you get the +opk. I am rooting for you that you get your little blue bean before October :flower:. Do you reckon you'll still get your :holly: done after baby no 3? I would luuuurve some boobs! I'm tiny - and they don't even grow during pregnancy lol! Last time I ended up with this huge bump with these little tiny bee stings above! - the bump made them look even smaller - i am telling u, i was hot stuff :winkwink:! :rofl: Sorry TMI there - :blush: :haha:


Take care KB - worried about you hun :hugs:. I hope it helps to come on here. Don't feel afraid to say if there is ever too much preg talk. I don't want to add to your pain. Want to be here to help you through the hard times :flower:. Do any of your close friends/family know you are TTC? Hope u can get some support there too. keep us posted next week x
 
Thanks LL but please don't worry about the pregnancy talk. I am really very happy for each of you and look forward to coming on here to read what you're all up to. In fact, I'd be really sad if you all hopped over to the first/second tri!

DH and I made a decision, when we started TTC, that we wouldn't tell anyone what we were doing and so I haven't told anyone. I guess that's why I come on here and pour my heart out (so you guys all hear the worst and probably think I'm a mental case). LOL!

I've often thought about breaking our agreement tbh so that I can talk to some of my close girlfriends but then I figure that it might just make things awkward between us all as they have all been very lucky and fallen pregnant within a few months of deciding to have a baby. Maybe I'm not giving them enough credit???? Do you think I'm being silly???

I'm not sure what happened yesterday with the baby shower. I think probably that it was more about all the stress at work that I've been in a bit of denial about than the actual baby shower and I really just needed to get it all out. I feel a bit better today (even though my temp dropped this am and so I know af is on the way tomorrow).

DH is at a photography course today (he got an SLR camera for his birthday a few months ago) so I have the day to myself. I'm really looking forward it. I've got a few things to do this morning but after that, I'm going to run myself a hot bath and forget the world for a while.

Anyway thank you all for being here for me. I know my time will come (hopefully sooner than later) and after DH, you guys will be the next to know. Promise me you'll hang around til then (or we'll have to exchange email addresses so I can keep you all updated)! xxx
 
AF got me again but this time, I think for the first time in a long time, I'm actually ok with it.

I've just looked ahead on my FF and if I conceive this cycle, the baby will be born around my grandma's birthday. I'm hoping this is a positive sign as my grandma was always talking about how much she wanted me to have a baby (she died a few years back).

So....

....my plan for this month is to try to chill out about work as much as possible and give myself lots of tlc so I finally get my BFP.

Start sending all your left over baby dust my way girls.

How are you all??? Where are you up to cycle-wise Jenn-Jenn and JR???
 
Hi KB - glad you are feeling a bit more positive hun. U definitely sound cheerier. I wonder really if there is something to be said for forgetting about TTC a bit when you're trying (hard to do I know!) - I definitely didn't stop thinking about it the cycle it happened for us but I had written off than month thinking I was having an annovolutary because of the delayed ovulation, so I think pyschologically I was putting a bit less pressure on myself that month. I dunno! - it is so hard to know, but I wonder if there is a link!... Lots of baby dust coming from me too hun!

Maybe it is worth chatting to a really close friend. Must be hard if they all have their LO's, but you never know, maybe some of them did have a harder time of TTC'ing than you realise. They might be able to help reassure you a bit that it is coming. Maybe see what OH thinks x

I'm getting nervous about next week. First tri feels longer than last time (because of the sickness this time and the fact that my first scan is over 2wks later than it was last time!). I know it's probably normal but I keep getting really negative thoughts and paranoia that all is not well and it's making me really scared about going into the scan next weds. Tell me I am just being crazy, and it's all fine!!!!!!! I can't imagine what I would feel like if it's taken away from us now...

....Crikey, how much do we open ourselves up for hurt going thru this whole process?! It sure is an emotional rollercoaster. All the frustrating and anxious waiting during TTC, and then more waiting to know that your little babba is ok by the scan....I'm sure we to all intents and purposes become worrying mothers long before we even conceive!

Hope you're all well anyway. How are you doing JennJenn? And JR? - are you feeling ok hun? Must be a difficult time for you. thinking of you x x
