Sheri - Miss 3 had her ears pierced for new years. Never heard anything about waiting until their ears are better formed - I have certainly never noticed Celine's ears changing over the years. I believe most places (in NZ at least) don't do under 5s unless they have two ear guns on the premises so they can do both ears at…

Hi Ladies - sorry to be MIA for a few days but the MS was getting to the stage that I was only comfortable lying down and couldn't even concentrate on the screen. Feeling better today though. Those that had the shots to numb the area for epi - do you still have the marks from the injection sites? I still have blue dots…

Little Spy - wow what a weight loss journey! 82 pounds is a really good effort hun. Well done! Danielle - I know all about the depo shot and weight gain. I hated the amount of weight I would get while on it. Sheri - I'm doing my best to have lots of little meals instead of big ones but sometimes the wrong food sets me off.…

Oooooo thank you for invite Lynn. I haven't been in a closed group on here before. :smile: I have literally spent my day hanging over my toilet. I've not been able to keep anything down. Katrina - All my photos post Celine are huge. The ones from this past Christmas were at my biggest. It is why I joined MFP. I need to…

*Waves to Heather* Looking good hun! Can't believe how far along you are now! I'm keeping up with my walking 5 days a week so I can keep fit. Waiting for the MS to ease off a bit more before getting back into my Zumba although at a lower level than before.

Evening ladies. OMG Jen - if my husband had said that to me about the weight gain, he'd be buried 6 feet under from the pregnancy hormones, lol. AFM - Met my midwife for the first time today. She was really nice. I have my next appointment with her on 2 June and a dating scan tomorrow afternoon. Morning sickness has…

That changes when you become a mum. I used to sleep through anything but now I wake at the slightest noise my child makes in the middle of the night.

We call them weedeaters in New Zealand.

Most people forget that you are 'pregnant' for about 4 weeks before you even realise you are and then it's 9 months after that that baby is usually born. The extra 4 weeks is your body preparing to have a baby (even if you don't have one) and the implantation process.

Happy mother's day ladies. Discovered I no longer like the smell or taste of salmon anymore. Which is strange because I ate it just fine two weeks ago. Nausea seems to be abating as well except first thing in the morning.

Ok now that I've caught up on 10 pages worth of posts - wow! Lynn - I think if I had a friend like that I'd end up strangling her for her stupidity. I'm sorry, but even with the free maternity care we have in New Zealand I would still be close to strangling her for wasting so much medical time. The closest person I have…

Wow you ladies move this thread fast. My last post was on page 1! I'm going to have to go back to read a whole lot now. I had some minor MS on Wednesday but it was gone by afternoon and back to nausea for the rest of the week. I've also had stretching pains. Not a lot else to report except that my tummy seems to have…

Love the nursery. I never did anything like that for my miss 3 though I wish we had. Done my best for her room as it is but we currently rent so can't paint the walls or anything like that. I have to make do with the canvas pictures I get every now and then. As for the morning (all day) sickness - with miss 3 I had it all…

Thanks so much everyone. Still kind of in a bit of a disbelief state at the moment despite 2 new tests taken this morning. Janayla - I will join one of the pregnancy threads next week after I've had everything confirmed by the doctor. I just still can't believe it! Pam - hugs about the weight gain hun. And I still…

Thanks Pixie. I'm still in shock lol.

Hi ladies. Sorry for not being here for ages but I do have some news. I tested today (at 11 DPO so AF isn't due for another 4 days) and got a BFP!

I think I may possibly be doing that next month if this one doesn't pan through. I know what you mean about non-ttc friends though. Had one trying to advise me yesterday and getting the actual issue that I was moaning about completely wrong. Hope you enjoy the zoo, Pam and Happy Birthday! Dragon - hugs to you hun. Scared…

Waves to everyone. MrsH - I am in absolute awe of your reply because like some of the others my response would probably be of the two word variety. I am also concerned about your SIL talking about personal business that shouldn't really have anything to do with her or her friends. Hoping everyone else is well. I haven't…

Hello ladies. Gosh I'm slack. I've only just realised how long ago I last posted!

Thanks Erica & Pam. It certainly does clear up a lot of the things that I had been thinking over the last few days. You can imagine the sorts of things I had going through my mind, I'm sure. Yes I have the paid service of FF but as only the last two cycles actually have some sort of pattern it doesn't help too much if I…

OMG! Congrats Erica! I am so happy for you!

Ah, maybe that is what is happening then. Everyone else has advised that the dip was implantation. Nobody has thought to tell me that it might be a normal process for my body. I've been charting for 4 months but only been getting decent charts since switching to vaginal temping two months ago. Oral temping turned out too…

Thanks Pam. The problem is I had an implantation dip only a couple of days before. I've had a lot of stress the last few days as well so who knows.

Hi ladies. AF started today. Irrationally I am feeling rather betrayed by her.

Morning (Afternoon/ Evening) ladies. Pam - big hugs to you girl. I feel like that anytime I hear another family member of friend is pregnant these days. I can't even look at random pregnant strangers in the street anymore because it hurts too much. AFM - either I'm having an implantation dip or AF is due in the next couple…

Evening Ladies. Been a while since my last post. I haven't read any of the posts already made since there are way too many pages for me at this stage. Hope everyone is well though. AFM - currently in the two wee wait between ovulation and AF at 6DPO. Temps seem to be good but trying not to pay any attention to signs at the…

Well done hun.

Thanks Katie & Pam. I think it will be even more common for me because before ttc I came off the Merina IUD and I've been reading a lot of reports associating MCs and CPs with it which I hadn't read before getting it. Was only on it for two years so seriously hoping it doesn't effect me too much. Oh also I've been pretty…

Hi ladies. Just posting a general quickie to say hello. Heather, congrats and lots of sticky vibes heading your way! AFM - Been looking back at my chart over the weekend and it looks like I might of had a Chemical Pregnancy which would explain the implantation dip and having all the signs. I am glad that I didn't get a BFP…

Evening ladies Pam - must say I have never had my breasts double up like that but I'm not exactly top heavy up there in the first place. Katie - so very sorry, hun. AFM - The witch showed up this morning after another temp drop so back to square one for me as well.
