ps. diege please surprise me in the bistro - you always make good choices which i like Grin.

hippychick66 · 25/02/2011 21:06

Hello all. sorry I've been missing in action. A very busy half term here. Firstly let me give lou a big old hug. I think if the line is still getting darker then you're ok lovey. Pink is not usually a worry.

Many moons ago I had a pink streak one week before my af was due and thought all was over and then no af arrived and that little pink streak will be 11 years old soon Grin Having said that I got a tiny pink streak on tueday morning this week which was also over a week before af is due so I'm hoping that was something trying to implant too.

My boobs are feeling very much like someone elses but I'm not listening to them anymore. I will be testing towards the end of next week if no af has arrived before that. I would be honoured to do the journey with you lou if that's what is meant for us - Grin time will tell.

panashe lovely news about the proposal - i got quite emotional just reading about it. Bless you both. I'm sure you'll be getting another pregnancy soon.

nicole hope you're ok, matey.

italian I LOVE that film it is almost my favorite. I'm reading the book on and off at the moment. Remember before I said I wanted to adopt Jaden Smith (he still hasn't got back to me about that Hmm)

Lots of love to everyone else. I will try to be on here more next week when I've not got two great big lads to keep busy.

mwah mwah.

Thanks Diege XXXXX phew....
No more bleeding now just the tinyest amount of pink tinged cm.God this is a bloody rollercoaster.Do you think if i ve got implantation "it" stands a better chance???
Previously when i ve had CPs my tests have been very faint and have shown neg prior to bleeding.

Anyone got a time machine? Can you move me foreward 9 months please??????

Hi oohshiny welcome XXX

Massive congrats Panashe sorry too worried earlier to respond properly.Lovely news.How long you been together? Have you set a date? Will you get married in the UK or abroad?

Questions,questions,questions.....

Again thanks Diege you ve put my mind at rest a little!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for responding so quickly.XXX

Diege · 25/02/2011 18:07

Sounds like implantation spotting to me Lou (have had it with 2 out of 4 pregnancies). Week before af due with dd3 and 6 weeks preg with dd1. Implantation is a process and not a single event, hence why many women get it throughout early pregnancy. I'd say the fact that your lines are getting stronger is very positive and I genuinely think things will be fine for you x
Curly re: low temps, it depends where you are in your cycle and how low low is. Ie. common to have a mid-lp dip (7-10 days post-ov) that rises the next day if pregnant (sometimes) or sort of gets progressively lower if not. If it drops below the coverline (ie, to pre-ov temps) it tends to suggest that things are over for that month and af will start either the same day or a few days after. None of this is exact I find (my temp sometimes shoots up and then af starts same day) and the only way really to get an idea of how your temps work is to keep it going for at least 3 mths.
That actually sounds a lovely proposal Panashe gave me a warm glow and a smile when I read Grinoohshiny dry toast sounds good in a 'I'm pregnant' way Wink. I think you need to test tomorrow Grin

louisesh · 25/02/2011 17:55

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! quick post : going out now.

Anyone here had implantation bleeding? Just been to the loo and wiped some pink cm ....Is it too late for this? or could it be ok? .........Don t know as it would even be too early for my af .i m only on cd 23 today.

Congrats Panashe Grin

Going out now i ll keep an eye on things and i guess just hope i ve never had implantation bleeding before.All i can do and re-test in next couple of days.

Curlylox · 25/02/2011 17:46

My order for later is Greek again: calamari, stuffed olives, kofte, dolmades, houmous, pitta bread, tzatziki, taramasalata, rice, salad, chicken and lamb shish basically a meze all washed down with a bottle of rose...yum.

Curlylox · 25/02/2011 17:37

Erm diege and gum have been temping with FF and my temp is coming down so does that mean that af is definitely coming (won't bother waste a test if that's the case)?

Curlylox · 25/02/2011 17:35

Congratulations and celebrations Panashe! What a wonderful end to February with lou's news and yours too..........could we perhaps do a hat trick......anyone else have spectacular news???!!!!

OP posts:
panashe · 25/02/2011 17:19

Champagne sounds good !!! Thanks diege

Am afraid the proposal wasn't anything spectacular but as totally unexpected I was over the moon :)

we were lay in bed snuggled up and he had my hand in his and slipped ring on and asked me to marry him. Got silly smiley face. xx

OooohShiny · 25/02/2011 16:39

Oooh congratulations Panashe how lovely Grin

Diege....your chinese sounds fabulous.....I think I'll be having dry toast tonight the way I'm feeling

At least I only have another couple of days to wait for AF and test if need be

Diege · 25/02/2011 16:30

Oh my goodness congratulations Panashe How did he propose? Will order in an extra crate of champagne for tonight, with a few diet cokes for LOu Grin
Welcome ooohshiny - Your stay here may well be short if your symptoms prove correct!
Food-wise I'm having something chinese I think - I'll order chicken chop suey with prawn crackers, lemoncake for pudding, and some crispy seaweed for a side order. Followed by a large hot chocloate with cream and a flake.

panashe · 25/02/2011 16:23

Just a quickie to share more good news, dp asked me to marry him today !!! Grin Grin

lots of Wine tonight !!!!

Hi Oooohshiny

xx

OooohShiny · 25/02/2011 15:45

Hello {grin] Can I join in here

Not yet 40 but near enough for it not to be worth even attempting to hide out in any of the young threads

a bit about me.....39 (just) and only recently started 'officially' trying after 9 months of no AF after coming off DEPO. I was starting to think I'd fucked up and left everything waaay too late. But AF came back a couple of months ago and seems to be back to it's precise self although showing no signs of ovulating so far.

And so to today......AF not due till Sunday, had sore boobs for over a week now, feeling sooo tired and now today heartburn and the worst nausea ever!!

I'm too scared to test this early but the not knowing is driving me crazy waaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

louisesh · 25/02/2011 14:57

Meant Ant would hate cards with piss sticks in!!!!

louisesh · 25/02/2011 14:56

Lou whispers " due date approx mid november but as will only be going to 37 weeks it's the week after Georgie's birthday about mid October"

But don t want to look in to it too much.It's odd as i ve read a lot of siblings being born around the birthday of their stillborn sibling.

God Ant would hate that!!!! I heard him chuntering to 1 of our cats last night "bloody piss sticks everywhere Scottie!!!" Grin

Just done a clear blue [love them] correctly says "pregnant 1-2 ".....

Off to the pub later mmm............diet cokes!!!! No i m happy to be abstaining from alcohol.I ll see you all in the snug Smile.

Oh FX Diege come on i can t be on this journey on me "owno".

Diege · 25/02/2011 14:28

Hello all! Get your orders ready for the bistro tonight ladies!
Two of my dcs were also St.Vals conceptions, with bfp stick put in dh's birthday card (March) each time Grin. I remember the look of dread the second time he got a bulky envelope Grin Have you worked out your due date yet Lou? (stupid question Wink.
Not heard from Hippy for a few days? Hope you're ok Smile
Temp back up again today (cd 9) so boding well for a longer lp this month. Also had a dizzy spell at exactly the same time as I did with last pregnancy, but NOT reading anything whatsoever into that.
LOve to all!

xxxxxx

hopefulgum · 24/02/2011 22:36

Oh Lou I'm so excited for you! How wonderful. Like you said, you are pregnant, so enjoy it!Looks like all that hard work paid off!

I didn't even bother testing today.I just know it isn't my month. I'm expecting RTD to turn up tomorrow or the next day. I'd be surprised if it didn't turn up because I have no symptoms at all. And I've had 7 pregnancies (5 babies) and each time I could feel it before I got the bfp...

As for my DH. I don't have the heart to bring it up right now when I'm feeling sad. It'll just make everything worse, so will hold off (til after the next ovulation,perhaps!)

Deige, that's an amazing commute. I can see how the time would be great for reading,working etc, but I imagine it can get very tiring.

Curly, when do you think you'll test?

louisesh · 24/02/2011 21:32
