I haven't been on for a while. I thought I was due on on Saturday. No period as yet. But I tested last Weds and got a negative.

did I test too early? I am now to scared to test again I can't face the dissapointment at the moment and living in the world of possibly pg is OK for me.

I have been looking at the baby name thread - does anyone else do this?

Oh crikey I didn't mean I wanted you PG ladies to leave - i mean sometimes I get mega green-eyed but its nice to hear how you are all getting on and I hope we can all join you soon!

So ready for the new thread can we get an update ready so I can post it in the first one pretty please - the usual who you are and when BFPs/AF due and PG ladies how many weeks you are etc.....

p.s. there are far too many threads to wade through to find all the details lol

ZombiesAreClammyDodgers · 12/11/2012 19:07

Don't go, knocked up elderberries!
The thread wouldn't be the same.
Hoping some fecundity rubs off on the rest of us!

Aquarius1 · 12/11/2012 18:54

Evening elderberries.... Gosh moll sorry to hear about taxman - they must be in a right mess at HMRC. (Perhaps so much so that they won't actually process the rebate???)
brave sorry about your fall - hope you're not too bruised?

So af arrived for me this morn Angry but at least it wasn't so bad I needed a day off sick like last time. purple I like your thinking - here's to a booze induced, festive bfp.[pops sherry in trolley next to gin and tonic and ben &jerry's herbal tea and refill of ovulation tests]

janey1234 · 12/11/2012 18:41

Ah, glad to see you bunny. We're coming up to the 999 messages limit so will be time for a new thread; in the elderberry tradition isn't that you're job? Wink

And I know, I'm sure us pg oldies will happily bugger off elsewhere if we're annoying or depressing with our pg chat - but personally was hoping for a few more BFP's before doing that. Know how hard ttc can be so happy to disappear though!

happylass · 12/11/2012 18:39

Hmmm. Haven't actually spoken to DP yet. He only told me about the docs via text and did it completely off his own back. Got a feeling he may have told a slight fib about the amount of time we have been TTC! Wont tell him Ive been talking about him on MN but will cook him a nice meal tonight for actually taking the initiative for once!
Hope the morning sickness is not affecting all you pg ladies too badly!

Bunnygirlie · 12/11/2012 18:30

Anybody else have tummy pains heading towards ov time?

Is this the only thread with more members PG than TTC lol

Crikey Brave that sounds ouchy!
Sorry evil bitch got you happy but OH is a genius!

Also - now sitting on a train next to a lady who is eating picked onion crisps and literally having to restrain myself from stealing some. I normally HATE pickled onion flavour but they smell so nice (?) i am actually dribbling.

Quodlibet · 12/11/2012 18:06

Janey snap with the MS. It's like I've hit the 6 week mark and overnight the quease had gone up a serious notch. Not horrendous puking or anything but I've been having to eat every half hour or so today to keep the potential retching/drooling under control. Interesting seeing as I had to teach a practical session today to a new group of students for 3 hrs - I took in a graze box of nuts / ricecakes/ carrot sticks and made up an excuse about medical issues and low blood sugar!

DP is now away again for another 2 week stint (well he is back for 1 day next week but then off again) which is hard. We are really enjoying each other's company at the moment (we had our portion of stress when TTC too) and are missing each other a lot being apart. So no sexy time for me either.

BraveLilBear · 12/11/2012 17:11

Thanks Janey and Rache - I think I was quite lucky - slipped on fifth-to-last step and thumped down thereafter. Am giggling at blastocysts not minding a bumpy ride - given that we finally saw Skyfall yesterday, I think we might throw James onto the boys name list if bean grows after all this - you know, shaken not stirred and all that!

Af due 18th. Maybe. Was due 14th/15th, but ov'ed late after early mc, so I dilligently put it back to the 18th...

Is it wrong to feel sorry forMrPurple's sphericals? Poor thing. Of course, I feel worse for you, Purple - I swear my OH's libido makes me look like a nymphomaniac at the best of times. Blush

It was only on holiday that the once or twice a week was thrown to the breeze and proper DTDing commenced! So if it's a festive BFP for us, then a long spell off work should definitely do the trick

janey1234 · 12/11/2012 16:56

Oh, I'm sorry happy. Well done your DP though! Hoping you're lucky third time, like I was...

rache and purple I'm kind of half way between you... totally feel like it throughout the day, but then get home and onto the sofa and feel whacked... then go to bed and pass out... Then wake up at 2am, and after being unable to sleep for an hour or so decide I fancy it again, but decide it would be mean to wake DP, then spend all day thinking about it again... Then get home tired... You see the pattern.

Breaking news - I think I might have morning sickness today. Started about 10am, and have spent all day feeling a bit like I've got something in my throat and need to be sick or burp or something else attractive like that I messaged my friend who is 14 weeks and she said that's exactly how it started/felt to her. If it is I'm a) pleased - didn't have any ms last time and had a mmc at 12 weeks but b) a teensy bit annoyed as i feel pretty rough. But I'm not moaning though really, I know how annoying people moaning about being pg are when you're ttc.

I too am hoping for lots of BFP's in the next few weeks - the festivities have GOT to help things along, as purple says.

And brave your fall sounds horrendous, hope you're ok. But I do think it hopefully shouldn't have affected things for you... Fx....

Rache1S · 12/11/2012 16:42

Purple I'm envious that you still have your sex drive! Mine has completely disappeared and I have never felt less horny. I feel terrible on DH and I think he understands but I don't think it's very great for our relationship Confused

Rache1S · 12/11/2012 16:31

Interesting re the burgers Brave, I am also not usually a fan of the McShit they sell at McDonalds but one night last week I just had to have a Big Mac and nothing else would do. I was really annoyed at myself for craving it as i've been eating really well otherwise.

I don't think falling down stairs will impede implantation. In hindsight I did some quite vigorous DTDing around the time of implantation so these little Blastocysts must not mind a bit of a shake up Grin I've got everything crossed for you, when is AF actually due?

Very impressed at your DP and how good is his his Doctor Happylass? I don't think my DH would have been at all keen to get tested.
