Hello ladies... up early with the dratted hound... I wasn't thinking about this so early I felt the need to get up at 6.44 on a saturday to write it!
About two pages ago, we were talking about things to start and stop on a 2ww and I thought of another one. I had a body wrap the other day (I'm sure it's just normal body lotion, they stick you in a foil thing and then go off to send text messages and drink coffee.. anyway) and afterwards, looked at the bottle and in big letters it said "DO NOT USE WHEN PREGNANT". Now, as I'm in the 6ww waiting to get my AF in order to get the 2WW (and I must be the only person in this thread dying for my AF!) it doesn't really matter for me. But I thought I'd add 'being careful with lotions & potions' onto our great long Worry List. As there is pretty much bugger all you can do that's exciting in the 2ww/ when pregnant, I thought spending as much as you can on a really good body lotion that is suitable is a good idea - if you get a BFP, you know your skin is going take a beating so you might as well get in practice! My lady said that as a general rule plain oils and lotions are best, and fruit based are ok (rose, tangerine, clementine etc all ok, woody herbs not fine but that's a massive simplification and do check before use). And theres a whole list of abortifactants in chinese medicine but I'm afraid I don't know much about these so I'd look on the web for more info
I have been meaning to post in here for the last week, but have been so busy with work.
LondonMiss: Thanks for the tip. I have some money put aside from my birthday I am intending on using for a massage at my fav massage place following this cycle. They have a specific preg one, so I will make sure I ask for that one.
Starbright: Sorry to hear you're feeling a bit low FX the rest of your TWW flies by. I don't know when the earliest you could do a POAS and trust the results would be as this is my 1st IVF cycle.
B2B: Sorry to hear AF arrived Enjoy your champas and GL with your next cycle.
Krikkit: GL with the results of your BT from the other day. FX you won't have to find out how many cycles it usually takes.
lilmiss: I'm sooooo happy to see you've been able to achieve your BFP. I remember you from way back in the 6months+ threads. Wishing you a H&H preg
Coral: Thanks for the info. DH is allergic to caffiene, so besides the odd chockie hit (that I probably shouldn't have but make me feel oh so better on a down day) I don't have any caffiene in my diet. FS couldn't believe it when we told him.
Paula: Sorry to hear about AF GL for your next cycle.
Nix: Hope you are feeling more positive. GL with your BT on Thursday I have one HPT in the cupboard as well and have to keep telling myself "it's too early, step away from the HPT"......
Big hello to anyone I've missed.
AFM: I'm going out of my mind!!!!! One minute I'm positive this cycle has worked and am looking forward to the BT which is on Friday, the next I'm convinced it hasn't and am in the sulks I can tell DH is starting to become a little frustrated, which is completely understandable. The only real signs (if you can call them that) I've got are a quite sore left bb (when I got home from work on Friday there was this dark vein popping out and throbbing just along the top of my nipple, sorry if tmi) and a quezy belly every now and then (which could just be from my anxiousness). Am tempted to do a HPT, but will try my best to wait it out until the BT. The only other hope I'm holding on to is that on a natural cycle I would have started spotting 2 days ago.
