Hey Kaib, yep it's testing this week for me. I'm having a good feeling about this. My nipples and breasts have been getting progressively sorer for a few days now, and I'm now actually in my maternity bra from last time, as it's the only bra that doesn't hurt. I've also been very thirsty, and needing to pee a lot more, and my nose has had bloody mucus every time I blow lately - all things that happened last time. Oh, and I've been completely exhausted. Cannot get by without a 5pm nap.

Had a small worry this morning at 4am when I got up to pee..there was a tiny bit of pink when I wiped, and I panicked, thinking maybe AF was coming and I'm all wrong. But I haven't really had any cramps, and since I'm 10-11DPO, I figure it could be implantation.

Of course I could be completely wrong, but I'm feeling positive right now. Testing day will be Wednesday..trying very very hard to hold on.

Also, was at a wedding reception last night, and got talking to the wife of one of the guys Luke plays football with, and she's a midwife. We were talking about homebirths, and how I had wanted one, but can't afford a private midwife, and she said 'Well, as soon as you get pregnant, give me a call and I'll come and be your midwife!' So I'm over the moon about that. She's fully supportive of homebirths and thinks they're the best way to birth, provided mother and baby are both healthy and not in distress, and she's so easy to talk to and really udnerstanding, so that's some fantastic news for us..if we're lucky this month! Please please!

Kaib your brownish blood has come at the same time as my pink, just about..hopefully implantation for both of us. Thinking of you.

Satya - Huge congratulations! So glad to see everything's back on track for you

Sasha - good idea about just temping and charting till O, the less stress, the better. They always say when you stop thinking about it all the time, it happens. Typical.

HJ - thinking of you, been following how you've been going, hope you're doing well.

Treelo - hope you're doing well also. Do you know whether your friend's daughter is moving in with you yet?

Positive vibes all around. July is a lovely month! (If I am pg, EDD with be July 2, our wedding anniversary!)
