Thanks fulham!

I know what you mean about Christmas. I have warned my family they are getting pound shop, or homemade gifts...

Seems a lot of girls testing over the weekend, so good luck!

Like sevans, I still have an urge to test every day, just because I don't quite believe it yet and I have no symptoms. But I will stop myself (maybe!)

Thanks fulham! I was rather in shock that it happened. I still am, actually! If I am calculating correctly, I am due July 20 and about 5 1/2 weeks now. I've only so far told my mother. I am going to wait to tell the rest of the family and a few friends after my first appointment which is Dec 1! I will be right at 7 weeks at that point and will be getting an ultrasound. I'm just really nervous and still taking my temp everyday to make sure it stays up. If pregnancy tests weren't so expensive I would probably be taking them daily too! I've been feeling OK. I've been noticeably hungrier, peeing a lot more, and experiencing some fatigue. I will get little stomach cramps every once in a while but they only last a few minutes. I like to think of it as the baby reminding me it is in there! Good luck at your scan on Monday! I can't wait to hear how it goes!

Any news from anyone? We have so many girls near the end of their cycles! So exciting!

Heya girls omg so much has happened!!

Morning all! Hope everyone is doing ok this morning.

I'm intending to breastfeed, WhiteRoses. No idea how good I'll be at it, but hopefully I'll be successful! I'm also planning on getting a pump so that if I'm struggling (or getting chewed on) I can feed breast milk from a bottle. It also gives DH a chance to feed, which I think he'd like.

I actually dragged my DH into the big Mothercare World store last night, Claire. I think it was useful though, I'm starting to try and get my head around what I want to do in terms of baskets/cribs/cots/cotbeds so I can plan for getting the future nursery redecorated around Easter time. Calling in favours from friends, of course, rather than inhaling paint fumes myself.

LOL...whiteroses...my name is homebound not homebody...i am laughin, but im a homebody too so either way ill answer..lol.

I have acquired a UTI...(prolly from all the baby dancing) and i wondered if that was slowing things up in the AF area, but dont know. Doc asked me if i thought i was preggers when i went for meds for the UTI, but said i had done lots of tests and nothing. Im due for my NEXT cycle Wednesday, so if I dont get anything then I will go. I dont think I feel preggers, i feel really really sick all day everyday, but that could so be easily be the antibiotics Im on....ooooooohhhhhh the confusion!!! If only things were simple eh! The wierdest thing...all my first urine tests have not worked for the last 3 days...gonna do the strips tomorrow as they are fool proof. Never thought a preg test would ever be like that and always thought numptys had problems with em...but here i am...numpty #1

So happy for the graduates!

aw thanks whiteroses. although i'm not convinced i'll have anything to test cuz i have been having those odd cramps all day. really think AF is on her way! this is only my 4th month off the pill. i had two really regular 28 day cycles, but then the last month was only 19 days (or it could have been that i had mid-cycle spotting which i thought was AF - it was very light) which would mean this is only cycle 3 and cycle 2 was very long.... have no idea. guess what it really means is that my body is still settling down after the pill.

but i have been temping regularly and this month shows a clear pattern of ov. plus i feel like i'm post-ov - boobs big, bloated, put on some weight, spotty. so at least i can be reassured that this cycle seems pretty normal even if AF does make her appearance this weekend plus won't mind the instant slimming down my body goes through after the first couple days of AF. does anyone else notice such a change in their waistline?

Blueberry - I must've started my post before you had posted yours (didn't take me an hour to type though - I went and made dinner in between starting and finishing!) Anyway, sorry to hear about AF. Still, it's early days, this is just you on cycle 2, isn't it? Very weird about spotting...

Hi everyone,

CJ - good news that there's no sign yet of AF.

Calyx - that's great news for your friend. Those babies sound very wanted! And it'll be more good practise for you, I'm sure! Plus a couple of nice little playmates for you baby, whenever he/she arrives!

Hadn't thought about the bathing and "slippery when wet" side of things... Still, like with everything else, if others can do it, I'm sure we all can too!

To be honest, breastfeeding worries me a lot too. REALLY hope I can do it - think I'd be a bit devastated if I couldn't! What about the rest of you? Will you all want to breastfeed if possible, or will some of you go straight for the nice easy fomrula?!

Kkas - here's hoping for you that the cramps aren't a bad sign. How long's your usual cycle?

Isn't Skype amazing?! So funny to think of a baby sitting there, using a webcam!

Zippys - if you hold out from testing for a whole eight days I'll be VERY impressed! I think if I was you (feeling queasy) I'd be going and annoying my doctor too! Good luck anyway! So far sounding pretty promising!

Pixie!!! Can't believe you're going to be internetless like that! Don't know if I could cope! Will be looking forward to hearing your update anyway though! Good luck! x

Gosh, Homebound! That really IS overdue! Have you thought about going to your doctor? Do you have any pregnancy symptoms? Were your cycles normal after MC? Is it normal for them to be messed up now? I've added you to the list below.

Claire, I've not allowed myself onto sites like Mothercare! As it is, I'm spending a ridiculous amount of time reading up about conception and pregnancy - I worry that if I don't restrain myself, I might end up spending ALL my time online!

My test on Monday, I'm really expecting to be a waste of time. I've had no definte signs of ovulation at all this month and it's quite likely that AF may still be over 2.5wks away! So here's hoping for both Kkas and Pixie.

Evening Ladies,

Sorry for the lack of posting, it's been a hectic week at work! Congratulations to Sevans and EmsieRo!! So very pleased for you both!!

I hope everyone else is OK and those coming up to testing - good luck!

For the last few days I have still been having the odd spotting and bleeding, as well as some lower abdominal pain, but not cramp and not like my normal period. I was getting pretty worried as it just wasn't usual for me. Anyway, AF came this afternoon and to be honest, I am a little relieved as I had panicked myself so much into thinking that it could be an EP or infection etc

I still don't know why I had been spotting since CD17, maybe my hormones are out of sync? I hope not as I've been having reflexology to get them into sync!! Will monitor this cycle and try and find out why!!

I'm going to read up on everyone's news now.

Btw, anyone used mooncups before? Wondered if they are any good?
