NO dreadful as in it keeps me awake at night worrying that my life is going to be like that in a couple of years time unless I do something to stop it

Go on then Oliveoil, buy one of the early ones.

I am rapidly going off the idea of having another as am reading a dreadful book sent to me by my MIL (maybe a warning from her?!) called "I don't know how she does it" by Alison Pearson. Has anyone read it? Her life is quite like mine except I only have one child and am not a banker but have a fairly stressful and busy job. Don't know if I can bear another. Told DH that I would have to give up work and we will have to live in a tent. He said fine

Yes I got positive 3 days before AF but I wouldn't advise as only about 60% of positive's are picked up. Fingers crossed I still feel like this in a few days!!!

Good Luck Quackmeister - Fingers crossed for you!

OO - I tested the day before my A/F was due and i got a +ive result! I was under the impression you could test earlier with first response kits.

Morning girls! BB, so soryy, try in a couple of days if no AF? Crystaltips, I can only add that no-one will judge you at all, I hope not anyway. Much as I desperately wany No2, I know what it feels like to not want a baby. Like Bunny I too had a termination at 22. I absolutely had no choice. First step is to tell DH I'm afraid and decide which path you will take. I have to say, there are worse things that can haeppen but it won't feel like it at the moment I know.
Without wanting to go on about term's I am now CD 22 and have been showing 'signs', as I always do even after 2 days of conception. I am so adamant that I will not get hopes up as chances of failure at this stage are 75% and I'm well aware of that fact. Given my history of losses too I cannot get into this and just hope signs decide to stay around and give us a muc wnated baby!!!

I didn't think you could test till the day your p was due? Is this wrong????!!!!! Ooooohhhhhh

CountessDracula · 11/11/2003 09:30

ooooh oliveoil go and test! Can't you do an early one???

BigBird · 11/11/2003 09:26

wow - there are loads of newcomers. Who is left from the old gang and where are you all at ??
I tested neg last night
on cd 30 now....

oliveoil · 11/11/2003 09:07

Congrats Helsbels, I have been off since Thursday and only just logged back on! Yippee for you

Not to tempt fate, but they say things come in threes.....I am due on Thursday and have felt decidedly weird for about a week and can't shake off my cold. Felt the same with dd as well...

Could be all in the mind however, will have to wait and see.

Jemma7 · 11/11/2003 08:57

Oh Dear - was a bit different in here last night!

Haven't had an unwanted pregnancy for a while!

Hope your feeling better today Crystaltips - Bunny was right in what she was saying yesterday, there is always a choice and no-one here should judge you for making a choice that suits you!
Good Luck

bunny2 · 10/11/2003 22:38

TTC = trying to conceive.

Good night

M2T · 10/11/2003 22:37

It means Trying To Conceive.... night. I hope things look clearer in the morning.

Did I mention that I think you should TELL HIM!!?

crystaltips · 10/11/2003 22:36

I'm off 2 bed anyway ... no wine keeping me up 2nite !
What does TTC mean BTW ?

M2T · 10/11/2003 22:32

Perhaps we should start another thread about this coz we don't want all the TTC'ers logging on tomorrow to conversations about terminations!... just a thought.

But Bunny is definitely right.

However.... TELL HIM TELL HIM TELL HIM!

bunny2 · 10/11/2003 22:24

Oooh, we posted exactly the same time

crystaltips · 10/11/2003 22:23

bunny2 ... mwah mwah !

Just feeling very very scared at the moment

bunny2 · 10/11/2003 22:23

Just read that post and it seems a bit one-sided. I just wanted to emphasise there IS a choice. Perhaps after a scan the pg will become more "real" and you will fall head-over-heels in love with your baby. I hope so. For waht it is worth I think you are brave to admit your feelings, lots of women dont and then have to tackle these issues once the baby is born.

bunny2 · 10/11/2003 22:20

Looks like it's the three of us! Crystaltips, you are only 5 weeks, it is very early days and you have plenty of time to fall in love with your baby. You also have time to terminate the pregnancy if that is what is best for you and your family. It's a choice lots of women make for various reasons, I had a termination at 21 becasue I felt too young. It is your choice and you are free to make that decision if you wish. Please dont feel judged by anyone, it is your choice.

M2T · 10/11/2003 22:17

GO TELL HIM!!!!

Surely it isn't all bad?

crystaltips · 10/11/2003 22:15

sorry ... but no
Have been thinking about a sterilisation .... DH too worried about his "bits" to go in for a vasectomy ....
I only wish I had gone with my gut feeling.

M2T · 10/11/2003 22:12

Fair enough..... they won't do the night feeds! But that only lasts a short time..... except with my ds!!!!

Go tell him.......... you will feel much better.

I am sending you much sympathy regarding the sober xmas..... from a hardened wine drinker I don't envy you that! But come on... is there a wee part of you curious to whether its a boy or a girl... which of your other 2 'it' will look like.... having a tiny person that just looooovvvves you soooooooo much they could melt your heart?

....not that I'm broody....
