*** February Testing Thread ***

[Sharcaz]

Hey girls

This is the first time I've been on a group like this and loving following all your stories and anticipation!

I'm expecting to get my +opk soon, I'm cd14 but usually O around cd20. Is anyone else at a similar stage or using opk's? Do they get gradually darker or just suddenly positive?? I had a positive last month but hadn't done them every month so I know what it looks like and is it to late to dtd when you get a positive?? Feeling excited but nervous

Got my fingers crossed for all of you and can't wait to see those BFP's!!! Xxxx

Oh yeah that sounds lush
Hope these cravings are for a good reason

Mmmm moist chocolate fudge cake. I'm mostly craving for steak right now. Do you ladies eat your steaks well done already?

I'm a semi vegetarian but when I was pregnant with my son I craved meat, loved steak and bacon but normally don't eat either! !! Hope it's a sign for you

xxxxxxx

Right every one has 5 min to judge me and then get the hell over it lol

I think it's something to do with the nutrients or something? For some reason I've got iron in my head? Anyway, it's not like you're going to be eating steak rare every day is it. More to the point, is it a South African thing to not eat well done steak? If so, that's fascinating!

I totally agree with you. Steak has to be rare, medium rare- anything more is really just spoiling it. I did have steak yesterday (medium rare) but was wondering if I was playing with fire. I have a pretty strong stomach so I figured I'll be fine.

What about sushi from a good Japanese restaurant?

 

[Trivita]

Basically with meat it is about the chance of you getting food poisoning not anything els . Beef isnt a high rish food fish is


South africans eat biltong ( dried cured meat) and in our culture if a mum has an iron deficiency they suggest it

No i wont eat it every day but i also wont buy it from a supermarket where its been sitting on a shelf heaven only knows how long , chicken too it sits on the shelf for some time

But the digestive system slows down during pregnancy so red meat is harder to digest so eating loads is probably not the best idea

This will give you grey hair : as a kid ( and there is nothing wrong with me) we use to ear ground beef raw


Okay so i agree i wont eat sushi but her is a question for you : what do you think the japamese ate before this guild line wAs set ? If you look into it the Japanese eat sushi during pregnancy but they stay away from fish with mercury

So what do you thimk about the stout the irish belive in ?

 

[Trivita]

Sorry for typos

 

[Trivita]

Sorry didnt mean to offend anyone! Just think everyone is entitled to their own views but i am sorry

 

[kumber]

I'm not offended but I don't really understand the last question. I'm focusing on it cus I'm Irish so want to answer the question but don't understand what you're asking.

That does ring a vague bell as an old wives tale but I can't recall it being given as normal advice in my experience. Not to say it doesn't happen, I've just not heard it actually being said myself. Although, guidelines say it's ok to have a small, occasional drink in pregnancy and stout isn't all that strong but again, not something one would have daily! I think people will eat and drink what they want and rules are made to be broken so my logic would be stricter rules means they only get broken a little bit but no rules means people will do as they please, which of course would be so dangerous when pregnant. Anyway I'm waffling now, it's way past my bedtime!
