Wow ladies can you believe it’s December already.
I have decided that I’m not going to let things stress me, well try. I’m almost 19 weeks and think it’s about time I tried to enjoy this pregnancy. Although today is day two of bed rest due to a nasty winter bug.
Sorry I haven’t been around much but I have been reading all your posts. So sorry to all of you who have had bad news, sending you gentle hugs.
Good luck everyone, I hope December is a lucky month. Xxx
19 weeks, Bec! Time is moving right along, isn’t it?
Redfairy - what kind of puppy did you get? I have an oldish kitty that wouldn’t take well to a puppy, otherwise I’d have one, too. Maybe in a few years.
A new month - let’s hope for lots of good news. My friend has news to tell me, and I know she just started ttc, so it might be that. I’ve got mixed emotions, as you all understand. If that’s the news, I really do want to be just 100% happy for her and not be selfish and think of my own struggles. I’m really going to try to be positive this month, both with ttc, and with work. All I can do is try, right?
I have a tea advent calendar from David’s Tea. Today’s the first day, but the tea contains hibiscus, so not drinking this one until after af is due. Do you all watch ingredients while waiting for af? I’m wondering if I should even worry about it.
Bec, I really can’t believe it either… December. Glad to hear you’re feeling better. Almost 19 weeks?? Where has the time gone?
Lillykedd, she’s a beautiful chocolate coloured Staffordshire bull terrier. Very pretty but getting away with murder. Hubby’s taken some time off work to be with her while she settles in/ house trains etc, he’s not doing a bad job… Might be an option when baby comes along! I understand your mixed feelings about your friend, but I’m you’ll be ok, you’re right we do have to just stay positive. Plus, pregnant friend means lots of baby cuddles with the ability to hand them back!
So I’m technically working two jobs right now… I’ve started my full time job and I’m finishing off the bots of self-employment work I have. I am absolutely pooped. Need some r and r soon.
Best of luck for this month ladies xxx
Just realised how terrible my spelling was there! Sorry… Zzzzzzz
Hi girls,
I am a bit concerned at the Mo as I have a negative test but am 5 days late with not even proper spotting… I am planning to test in the morning but am concerned as I spotted for 2 weeks then felt ‘preg’ then stopped feeling ‘preg’ not sure what to make of it all, dont want to go back down the road of EPU …
Hope you all are well, sorry for the sad news lilyked, hope you are ok Bec xx
I hope everything works out, cdandy! Even to know what you’re dealing with, late af or early preg.
Hi ladies!
December! How did that happen?!
Cdandy… Let us know how you get on in the morning.
Red fairy, you sound busy! Hope you’re well… Glad to hear things are positive.
Bec… 19 weeks! It can’t be easy on bed rest but take it easy…
Lilykidd… Yes! I didn’t drink coffee/alcohol when I was in the 2ww!
Aric - how are you?
I’m just past 9 weeks now and have scan (number 3!) in a couple of weeks… Told my boss today as it’s starting to get difficult to not… Ohhh, and I got engaged at the weekend!!
Sending lots of love to you all xxx
Congratulations hayley. Xxc
Thanks beck and Hayley… it was a no then I came on… so am sad but more settled about it. Was worrying about another ectopic… its scary t t c again. Hope you are well x
Thanks also lily xxx
At least you have an answer now cdandy and you can relax a little. Xxx
It gets easier hun. Not that we want you ttc for long. Xxx
Took me so long to get pg in the first and second place we are now in to our 6 year 
ah well hopefully one day 
xxxxx thanks beck xxxxx
To get our first successful pg took 5 years. We never used contraception since Niamh and she was 3 when we found out this time. 9 pg in total. Been with my husband since I was 18, November 1999. So that’s 15 years.
Sounds awful when you put it in writing. You will get there cdandy. Xxx
Cdandy I’m sorry af got you. Stay strong and keep going x
Hayley what great news! Congratulations on your engagement. I used to love saying ‘my fiancée’, haha. Enjoy it, and keep us updated with the wedding plans x
Still finding myself reluctant to try before I know what my test results are. So I tell myself I’ll phone up for them, as April is so far away. But then I’m reluctant to phone too. It’s weird, I’ve waited so long to get started with some medical intervention and now I’m scared to find out the answer. I think we’ll maybe get Christmas out of the way then rethink again. This month is a definite write off anyway… I’ve been so stressed out my libido has been zero.
Oh well. At least I have my puppy to scratch my maternal itch for now x
Congrats, Hayley!
Hello ladies, I hope you’re all doing ok in your varying states of happy / sad / hopeful, it’s such a stressful process. My thoughts are with KJ81 especially and even though you said you’d take a break, just in case you pop on here for a look-see we haven’t forgotten you. Take all the time you need.
I’m on hospital visits every second day now, just reached 34 weeks, and bubs are looking very small. They’re hoping to keep them cooking another week or more but monitoring closely just in case.
All the best in your run up to Christmas and the mayhem that invariably ensues!
Much love to you all. Xx
Cdandy I’m sorry af got you. We’re all here to talk when you need us.
Thank you ladies… am on cloud 9 at the moment. Will keep you updated but don’t think there’ll be any wedding until at least 2017!
Chez - hope you can keep cooking for a while… so your babies might be here next week?
Redfairy, it’s fear of the unknown I suppose… when you don’t know what they are going to say. Like you say, I’m sure your new puppy is giving you lots of love at the moment 
Lots of love to you all ladies, I don’t know what I would do without this place sometimes! xx
Oh my goodness, Chez! How did time go so fast that you’re already 34 weeks! How exciting!
I spoke to my friend that I was thinking would tell me she’s pregnant. She is, but she’s at the hospital for a potential ectopic. I was glad to be able to talk her through it, but I really wish I didn’t have to, as I wish she didn’t have to go through this as well. But they haven’t confirmed yet. I’m hoping it’s still just early pregnancy pains for her. She’s been at the emergency room for 13 hours now after being told by two doctors to go. That brings back a lot of memories.
It’s getting closer to the weekend!
Good/bad news for my friend - it isn’t ectopic, but it is a miscarriage. Just thought I’d update since they thought it might be ectopic. I’m sad for her, but happy it isn’t ectopic.
Man, this tww is tough this time! I’ve not been so great with cutting coffee (one a day) and wine (one a day a few days this week), but I really want to buy a bottle and have a few glasses tonight or this weekend! Likely because after 6 months, I really don’t expect to get a BFP next week. But, I will hold off and get a nice bottle for next weekend after af comes.
