Hey Girls
I haven't posted for a little while as I have been feeling very depressed and stressed out. Yesterday I left work to go home and cry all day I was too emotionally unstable which is VERY unusual for me. I have been seriously bloating (like clothes don't fit) for over 1 week and went to see my doc and they wanted to wait to see if AF shows. She thinks I'm PG but wouldn't do any testing until AF is late or POS HPT. Well yesterday/today AF is due. Last month I had a 12 day LP. She didn't come yesterday @ 12dpo and I just had a little bit of spotting which is really weird for me. Today is 13dpo and still just a little spotting and normally AF comes on FULL force no spotting at all and my temp usually drops the day of, this morning temp is still above cover line. Can anyone look at my chart and see if they have any ideas? I don't know what to think. I am just barely spotting again today. Yesterday it was light pink on the TP and today it was like a brownish color on the TP and no more since. I had a serious talk with DH and we decided that IF AF shows then next cycle I will only temp and take a little break from the OPKs. Trying to de-stress. I haven't tested again and might tomorrow if AF doesn't show. Please help any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks you girls!

Hey LaceyK how are you feeling now? Looks like from your Ticker that last month you did not get your BFP?
Hey Novalunar you are 12 weeks whooo! Hope your morning sickness is wearing off? Have you had any scans yet?
Thinking of you all :)

hey jp, thanks hun xxx i am 12 weeks 2 days!! woohoo!!
i am going to see the midwife 2moro but i am going to hold off from having a scan, due to the awful experience i had the last time. The operator pushed so hard on my stomach, it was sore for a few weeks! way to scared to go yet.

My morning sickness has got worse, and it gets really bad at night, basically all day sickness lol but i am grateful for it :)
also i have a little bump now :) , i love it so much , i am still trying to squeeze into my size 4 clothing lol dh thinks its so funny, i will be going maternity shopping next week :)

how are things with you hun? where are you in your cycle? hope your good :) xxx
hey lacey how are things now? hope everything is going well for you hun keep us posted xxx

Hey NovaLunar - how exciting that you have a bump and get to go Maternity shopping :) that is lovely to hear! Tho how annoying for you that your sickness has not eased off yet!
When did you have the scan when they pushed too hard? That doesnt sound good! But even so I think I would be eager for every opportunity to see my little bean!
I'm in my TWW, cycle day 21. I'm feeling okay this month tho dreading what would have been the due date from the ectopic next month. Would be great if I can get my BFP before we get there! xxxxx

Hello ladies!

Long time!! Everyone's been really quiet in this forum. How is everyone doing?

Novalunar, congratulations for completing your first trimester!! It is the hardest! The second trimester is fun!!

Afm- things are going well.. I've completed 30 weeks and I'll be full term in 7 weeks!! I'm scared and super excited at the same time!!

hey jp sorry for long reply been busy buying for our new home and been car hunting also. been a busy few weeks. how are things going for you? where are u in your cycle? hope your good hun

Hey happy sam i cant believe how quick its all gone wow 30 wks!! congrats hun! only seemed like yesterday we were all in the ttc phase! Its amazing. How are you feeling? have you got everything for the baby yet? i have fallen in love with the joolz day earth pram its gorgeous! google it hun.

I am 16 wks & 4days, my morning sickness has eased off a bit but its still there. I am able to eat more foods, which is great. got my 20 wk scan on the 3rd of sept so nervous after what happened last time, but really want to see the baby as well and desperate to find out what we are having :) i think its a boy, friends and family all think its a girl. dh doesn't want to find out, i am way to much of a control freak. i have to knw! lol

so good to hear from everyone, sending lots hugs xxx

Novalunar, it's so exciting to find out the gender of the baby!! Not because the gender matters but because it changes the shopping experience

I got most of the things for my baby during my baby shower. I had made a gift registry so I've got everything that I chose (which is soooo important!) I hadn't even heard of joolz pram! But then I live in the US and the most famous strollers here are Bugaboo strollers. I found the Baby Bargains book by Denise and Alan Fields very useful. It's like a consumer reports magazine in book form, entirely about baby gear. I'm not sure if they have a UK version.

The third trimester is not too bad. I get tired pretty quickly and I feel huge! Lol! But it's much easier than the first trimester. I'd choose leg cramps, extremely sore breasts and backache over morning sickness!
