Trying before AF?

[Libbysmum]

What a beautiful story. Thank you Emmy for sharing it with us all. Can hardly wait to see the wedding pics!
My hubby is from the USA and I am from Australia...when he proposed I was overseas in Korea working in a Kindergarten and so when I flew back I immediately started planning a wedding planning. My husband arrived a week later and then we were married the following week. Most of the planning I could do online from Korea thankfully. My mother had pre-phoned about 3 dress shops so as soon as I got of the plane I could go try on some dresses. It was amazing that it all worked out so well.

Wow u got married so quickly!! I'm still planning on getting pregnant first and I want to loose weight too lol famous last words! So I'm thinking in 2 years we will get married xx

That is so sweet!

WOWZERS look at that ring! I love your nails too

Yes, getting planning that partaaay , relax and you may just get a sneaky BFP! So happy for you!

Thank u!! I know the ring is blinging all over the places can't believe it! I am hoping I will relax, get focused on planning the engagement party and get a surprise BFP! My boyfriend's (oh no he is my fiancée now!!) family are from Ghana so we will be having a bit of an African theme and traditionally they have very big parties so I have a lot to plan! Xx

Oooooh sounds fab! I just looked up Ghanaian food - lots of peanut used yum yum! I bet the colours will be fantastic aswell!

Yes Ghanaian food is yummy!! Joe is as cockney as they come though so I only really get to eat it at his parents house. Some of the stuff I really can't stomach though, they have this starchy kind of mashed potato looking thing called fufu which you dip in soup, it's a strange consistency, you can almost use it as a spoon and you swallow it without chewing! But I love all the jallof rice, noodles and salads, chicken and beef stews. The patterns are beautiful, the cloth is called kente and for the wedding I will have a traditional western white dress and a traditional Ghanaian dress. When we have the engagement party, in the morning all of Joe's family and my family will come to our house and Joe's dad will bless us, and then in Ghanaian culture we are married x

Awww that's so lovely! Brings a tear to my eye.

I did have a bit of a snigger when I saw 'fufu' on Wikipedia, but that's my immature sense of humour! I'd love to try African food, I love trying loads of different foods, but it ain't very diverse where I live so there's no independent cool restaurants like in London.

Hehe I love the cockney accent. I used to see a cockney lad and kept making him say "sweet as a nut"

Xxx

Hahaha yeh I like the cockney accent too, I'm originally from the midlands so I don't really have an accent! Joe moved from Ghana when he was 2 to Italy and then moved from Italy to London when he was 6 and has lived here ever since so it's quite cool cus he appears completely Londoner but he can speak fluent Italian and twi which is the language they speak in Ghana. Where abouts do you live flapjack? X

 

[flapjack10]

I'm originally from Liverpool *said in screechy voice*, but now live in Chester. My friend is from the midlands and she doesn't have an accent until she gets drunk and sounds really Brummie

Wow fluent Italian how fab! That must be handy for holidays - honeymoon is Sorrento maybe?! I went to Rome in 2006 and loved it to bits!

Ooooh it's all so exciting! I love a good wedding!

Haha that's like me! When I get drunk or excited the brummie comes out! I grew up in Bromsgrove just south of Birmingham. Yeah can you believe he has never been back to Italy or Ghana!! So that is a priority for honeymoon! Xx

I love different accents. I currently live in Bristol but was raised in Bedford. I've been told I've have a posh accent, which I personally don't think I have. If I go to Bath I stick out like a saw thumb over there! But I can understand why people think I have.

Thats a great idea emmy. I only went to Italy on a school trip and loved it.

 

[xxemmyxx]

Still no AF but defo not pregnant i got another bfn this morning! I'm cd 35 now, a long cycle just to confuse and annoy me! Had no spotting this cycle either which is what I have been getting on and off since mc and especially the week before AF, another mystery! Going back to doctors when I get my period eventually!

Went to a really nice fireworks display with Joe and another couple tonight and had some champagne (again! Diet starts Monday) hope you all had a good weekend xx

 

[Libbysmum]

Every time I watch Charlie and Lola with my DD I think about England... I passed through London for a short holiday back in December 07 and had 2 of the "most smashing" weeks of my life.

 

[mummy2o]

And everytime I watch wiggles with my DS I think about Australia and then get up and dance and sing.... I know theres a big kid trapped inside trying to get out.

 

[Libbysmum]

Getting blood tests Monday and Wednesday to test the hormone levels to see if there is a problem with the pregnancy or not...scared to death! Won't know til Friday!

 

[jennyb86uk]

Good luck libbysmum I'm sure it'll be fine.

Question for you ladies, I mc on the 22nd Oct, and I've been using opks, and there was hardly any second line at all around the time I would normally ovulate, and so I'd resigned myself thinking that it was unlikely that I'd O this cycle at all. Now they're showing a faint, but definately darker line, does that mean that I'm likely to O but just later, or not?

 

[vietmamsie]

Attempting to catch up after a few days away...

Libby: Good luck! Keep us posted

jennyb: After my first MC, I had a super long cycle and never Oed, but after this last one, I actually O'ed in a fairly timely manner, only a few days later than the previous cycle. Good luck and hold in there, it can take a while before your body gets back to normal.

AFM, really crazy long AF. I've still got light/spotting AF and I'm on CD7! Our fancy beach resort holiday this weekend was a bit of a disappointment as I couldn't go swimming (I can't use tampons). My husband managed to eat himself sick on seafood and in the middle of the night woke me up in a crazed state of night sweats telling me he wasn't ready for a baby. Thankfully he took the comment back this morning, but it made me feel a bit uneasy. He has some growing up to do before we have one, but I guess I assume most guys manage to pull it together once the baby is born, right?

Hope everyone is well and had a Fabulous weekend!

Emmy!!!! Just read your engagement story! How wonderful! I'm so excited for you. IT must be so nice to have it all be official now!

Libby: I can relate to your wedding story so much. DH proposed while we were living abroad and I had to plan the whole thing while living in a different country. We threw the whole thing together in 3 months while living abroad, and then had three weeks in the states before the wedding. I had never seen the venue or anything before then! We bought a dress off the rack two weeks before! It was pretty crazy but everything came together perfectly!

Good luck libbysmum I'm sure it'll be fine.

Sounds like your ovulating late, that can happen after mc, my cycles have been diff every month and I know a lot of ladies on here have had long or unusual cycles xx

 

[mummy2o]

Good luck Libby FX

Jenny sometimes you don't ovulate after a mc. Sometimes you do. Its pot luck. Your first period might also be later than normal.

Vietmamsie sorry your AF is still there. Mine was odd this month to. It was very light spoting CD1 medium on cd2 and heavy on cd3 and gone on 4. Should be ovulating in the next week then horrible tww for me

Thanks veits! Sorry u couldn't swim, horrible af!! Since mc I have still had af on cd 13!!! Totally sucks! I guess ur right its just our bodies recovering from all the hormones and stuff going on that we aren't even aware of. As for your hubby I'm pretty sure having food poisoning can make u dehydrated and when ur dehydrated u can become dillusional, baby must be on his brain too and it probably just all came out a bit confused, I think its quite hard for men, its all taken out of their control, its quite hard for them to find their role in it all, where as we connect with the pregnancy as soon as we find out I think it can take men to actually hold the baby to get that feeling xx

 

[jennyb86uk]

Thanks guys. It's definately getting darker, so fingers crossed, that O is just running late.

 

[flapjack10]

GL Libbysmum! I Charlie and Lola!

Jenny - I reckon you'll O later! FX!

Viet - I have 7 day AF every cycle! It's such a drag! Sorry about your OH maybe he was just delerious? I agree with Emmy.
