Just popping in to see how you are all going and wish you luck,
Paula - today. I hope your dreams come true.
Baby2Bee - I had a chemical pregnancy last month with showed up on a BT but the BHcG was not strong to even register on a POAS. Even if the lines are not getting stronger at least they are consistent! Not long to go now, wishing you all the best for tomorrow.
I haven't changed a thing mitf......my nurses even told me that I could still have a small glass of vino at night. The only thing i have stopped is lifting anything heavy or doing the vacuming.
As you can tell, I'm "working" at home today... I was told to act like you are pregnant in the TWW. Well. As you can probably guess from the name, I'm English, and deeply fascinated when the pregnancy advice is different here from at home... which is different to France, which is radically different to Japan... which convinces me that most of this stuff is best guesses and not based on any proven fact whatsoever. The two things you absolutely should not do are ingest cat poo (like people spend a lot of time doing this) and scuba diving....
After that, it's all dependent on where you live. In the UK you are recommended to have no more than 3 coffees per day or 6 cups of tea, here it's less. Similarly for alcohol, it's 2-4 units per week in the UK. I measured the temperatures of my baths (used a cake thermometer), stopped all cleaning, esp oven cleaning (hey - TWW has to have an upside), switched to decaf tea, started drinking champagne at group functions instead of my normal tipple of wine (no one else is, so you can't have your glass topped up when you don't want it; and you can always leave half. No one notices you aren't drinking this way). I was also a little more careful to heat things up properly and avoided buffets and barbeques. I also think its perfectly reasonable to make your DH do things like neck massage, feet rubs, the washing up, make dinner etc etc so you don't over exert yourself : )
Krikkit - during my TWW, my clinic said you have to "assume" you are pregnant and hence not eat soft cheese, processed meats etc because of listeria and dont drink etc. I got brochures from them saying what I can and cant eat. It does your head in having to "act" as if your pg when you dont know if you are. However "techinically" if the embie sticks, after about a few days you are in fact pg so should be acting accordingly.
AFM: for the last 4 days i've had alternating + on HPT's! It's driving me nuts. + one day, - the next, then + again, and then - again!! Stupid sticks!!! I can't actually even work out where I am in my cycle. Last AF was 28 July, ET was 22 August and Final BT tomorrow which will be day 40 of my cycle! I'm on pessaries and progynova (oestrogen) so I'm not even sure when AF is due again.....I know that the nurse said on Tuesday that I am still REALLY early in my cycle???? I'm very confused! I'm normally about a 30 day cycle but on these drugs stops everything!
