Welcome to the new thread Lovelies. You can catch up on the previous one HERE

Well hello everyone. So sorry that I have been MIA. A birth I was asked to attend happened a few weeks earlier than anticipated! It was a very looooong labour of 27 hours. The end result was the birth of a very gorgeous little girl to a Mama that laboured so beautifully. She had no intervention - but we all needed some kips afterward! Then it was our Evie's birthday yesterday and we had a party of course with lots of little friends.
My DH is at a training day today as he is to be the Under 8's Footy coach this year - so I am trying to catch up on Belly Belly news and do some other work at the same time!

Mel - implantation occurs between 5-10dpo - 5-8dpo being thought the "usual". I have heard women report "implantation" cramping but I have never experienced it. Women say it feels similar to period pain. It IS TOO EARLY TO TEST!!!! So don't feel down about a bfn. Try and wait it out my love until around 12dpo. This way it is likely that you will get a positive on a good quality early testing kit. I know it's hard I do - I am in the tww too. It sucks. Let's hope this time next week we have news of a for us both!

Spring: If you know when you posted if you could copy and past the url and email it to me I will fix it up for you. YIPPEE at feeling Lil Spring move about! In a month or so you will be feeling more movement that will reassure you no end. I hope you are feeling okay...

[B]Lynn:[/B] I haven't forgotten your moonstone - it's coming - I did get a message on my machine to say they weren't in yet but would be in this week so I will get it to you ASAP. How are you feeling???? I know it is a real bummer at your results. I am imagining they didn't do a follie scan with the levels as they were... Are you having more bloods done tomorrow? Just remember we are all here and we are all barracking fo you. This is going to happen and you are getting direction and information that you haven't previously had. That is a wonderful thing... Big big hugs from me :hugs:

Bailey Yippee to you being a WIFE!!!! Congratulations Bailey - I hope you can top off the month with a bfp as well!!! Ovulation pain for me is like a sharp pain on and off over a period of 24ish hours. Some women only get an ache but it does feel different to period pain for me. Some women get the pain only once and others for a day or so.

Nat: How are things my love...

Chelle: Good on you for the walk - I love it when parents do this type of thing. It really does show kids that life isn't as easy in other places as we have it here. One of my dreams is to take our kids to India for 3 months working on an aid project. I will work and my DH will be with the kids . This is how we plan to spend his long service leave in a couple of years time.
Where are you up to in your cycle Chelle?

I have to have my progesterone level done tomorrow - 9dpo. So, I will be interested to see what that is - I won't get the result until Tuesday morning. Of course I am hoping and praying that I have conceived but I just have to WAIT!!!!! I am not going to test until Thursday morning - I am not going to do my head in... I feel like I always feel post ovulation. I must say pregnant or not I feel exactly the same in the tww - so it's no indication for me.

I hope you are all having a beautiful weekend - when the kidlets wake up we are off to clean out the chookie pen - woo hoo!!!!! We have got two eggs so far!!!! Very exciting.
