Im sticking to the supermarket brand ones so they only cost about £4 for two!
So I set the timer and went back to bed, but my OH got all excited as he heard the timer and thought I was cooking muffins for breakfast
As for cravings? It was Loseley greek yoghurt with dark fresh cherries, and jersey royals potatoes.
I hope i have cravings that tasty!
Oh and I didn't touch caffeine at all, no tea coffee coke etc, or alcohol. I always say thats why Charlie slept through from the word go *bliss*.

i knew i was pregnant straight away and i mean like a few days after i would have conceived ( no joke) i was ill, and had agony boobs !!
My boobs havent started hurting at all though so i may not be this month!
anyway - weird food
just wanted sweet things in the morning like toast with nutella, and i just basically wanted to eat all day thats how i got through morning sicknesss by constantly eating - but i would go through phases of wanting one food only and eating it constantly and then totally going off itr and not eating it all again !!!
I craved coffee all the time although did try to curb that a little !!
i totally went off chocolate which was a miracle though !!!
fingers crossed for u here ...
by the way i found the cheap tests just as good as the expensive ones so dont feel you have to splash out on the expensive one.
also i tried it as late as possible as most chance of getting a positive and not a false negative
I must admit i did a test last week
not exactly sure when i will start next period as i have just come off the pill so am just assuming 28 day cycle... but that was negative so i may just have tested too early!good luck
thatnks for the replies guys...

just to say i didnt have a 28 day cycle but didnt realise that until about 6 months of trying in between miscarriages .
you can get a ovulation test from the internet that you pee on and it tells you when you are ovulating. might be worth a look to make sure you are "trying" in the right window !!!!! LOL

I don't think you should be trying to lose weight aggressively but from what you have posted the healthy choices you are making may well result in weight loss anyway (no alcohol etc.). I didn't have any cravings at all. Nothing
and I was looking forward to wanting to eat coal etc. 
.I ate pretty much what I did before but that's lots of salads, fruit and lean protein. I had no sickness whatsoever but lost weight during pregnancy. I found it difficult to eat towards the end because my tummy felt so uncomfortable.
I started off at 8 stone 4 pounds, lost weight and at the end of the pregnancy only weighed around 8 stone 12 pounds. After the baby was born I weighed under 8 stone and while breast feeding went down to 7 stone 3 pounds.
Unfortunately I'm back to around 8 now

blimey!!!!I hope i manage that doing it healthily as well!
My SiL is breastfeeding and she zipped straight back into shape after a couple of weeks!
She did pilates at home as well while pregnant and ate healthily so this is my plan too!

Weight gain
Healthy eating is a priority. Don't try to lose weight diets while you're pregnant without medical advice. If you're pregnant, you'll gain weight.

I never had morning sickness with my first infact I felt really good having her until in the later months (I had SPD - Symphis Pubis Dysfunction) and feel the same with this one Dreading these last few months now as I know it will come back! Right now, I eat what I want when I want, never worried about wieght gain when I'm pregnant and I don't think that you should (Theres far worse things in the world that can happen) and as long as you are okay, and the baby is okay, I really wouldn't worry about it. Let nature take its course!
I really wouldn't say that dieting was healthy when pregnant, just eat as healthily as you can and have what you want when you want.
You normally find if you don't eat when pregnant, or skip meals you do tend to feel awfully light headed.
Pregnancy isn't easy so don't make it harder for yourself.
Good Luck with everything x
