Alice: lol I can sympathise with the reading and driving story. In my version i leaned over to get something from the floor of the passenger side and didn't realise that in doing that i lifted my foot off the brake a bit. The car rolled and the first i was aware of it i felt a gentle bump as i hit the car in front of me. Fortunately not hard and no damage done but the guy whose car it was- also a ute! Horrid gold colour no less!- looked at me like "are you for real?" He was totally unimpressed. I'm definitely a driving multi tasker (breakfast in the car etc). Poor you that you got caught out!

Toomanyshoes: how frustrating! Must drive you nuts that the headaches make you think you are pg. It's great to take a 'wait and see' approach but hard to do. I wish i could do that- try not to think about getting pg and then surprise myself one day when i realise i'm weeks overdue for AF- but i can't. I have to be on medication from the time i know i'm pg so unfortunately i need to test for pg if AF is overdue.

Saffy: I'm sending you big empathy vibes for the horrors of the TWW. The only good thing about it is that no matter how it seems to drag it does eventually end. But if you have any good tips about how to make time go faster i'd be happy to hear them. Hope you get some nice stuff at Ikea. I always find i discover things to buy i didn't realise i needed!

Ferrals: that's very disappointing for you that you have something else to worry about when it seemed like you might enjoy smooth sailing after your great amnio results. But i'm very pleased for you that the news on baby's health is good.

AFM: reading everyone's posts always makes me feel better- feeling like there are others out there going through something similar- but I'm not having a good day today. I started getting AF type cramping even though it's 10 days before AF is due. But that's not unusual for me since i came off the pill. It's so disheartening: I can't even have the fun of hoping i might be pg because i'm already 99% sure it hasn't worked this month. But i still have to sit around for 10 days waiting to have it confirmed (with AF) then wait another 12 days to 'o' again. It totally sux.

But at the same time i torture myself with: 'but what if i'm wrong? What if it's pg cramping?' when i know it isn't. Pg cramping for me has always been on either side of my tummy. AF type cramping for me is usually across the lower part of my tummy. Has anyone else had AF type cramping across their tummy when pg? (I'm clutching at straws here!)
