Hi ladies !!! Just tested and there's definitely a line; even DH can see it! Woop woop!!!!!!

weebairn · 20/03/2014 16:02

"Just" 5 days (felt like an eternity at the time!)

Oooh genz!!! That's so exciting! I think a line is a line, no matter how faint!

Haha I can see your logic. I used to have joint bday parties with my sister all the time!

How late were you last time?

weebairn · 20/03/2014 14:36

Thank you :)

On the contrary mrshjb, I'm thinking, joint birthday parties, half the price Grin

I'm sure this one will be late just like its sister though!

mrshjb · 20/03/2014 14:28

Aww congratulations that's amazing news! Would be very expensive to have 2 kids birthdays on the same day though!!!

binkybunny · 20/03/2014 12:39

weebairn that's fantastic! Bet it's a relief that there's only the one in there too. How nice to have a wave Grin

weebairn · 20/03/2014 11:10

12 week scan all fine! No twins thank god!! Chilled out baba waved at me a bit and refused to get in the right position to be measured, so I had to go away, drink more water, and then jump up and down...

My due date is 30 September now, which is my toddler's 2nd birthday, how crazy is that?!

mrsb87 · 20/03/2014 09:39

gennz thats aaaages away. I guess we will have to wait patiently. I'm the most impatient person in the world...

mrshjb · 20/03/2014 09:20

Hahaha that's so funny! Gutted it's so long until morning for you!! Actually can't wait to find out :)

Gennz · 20/03/2014 09:02

10pm here! i was going to test again but DH has confiscated the tests until tomorrow, damn him!

mrsb87 · 20/03/2014 07:57

I want to know now gennz!!

mrshjb · 20/03/2014 07:40

Haven't quite worked out when your tomorrow is, but I hope it's soon because I'm dying to know!!!!

Gennz · 19/03/2014 22:26

Tomorrow of course mrsh! As if I could wait any longer!!

mrshjb · 19/03/2014 21:03

Ooooh Gennz, if anyone knows how a pregnancy test stick looks from every possible angle, light and with a variety of different levels of squinting it's you, so fingers crossed your expert eyes aren't tricking you!!!! When's the next POAS?!

binkybunny · 19/03/2014 21:00

Hi all just popping in to say good luck with your scan weebairn and sounding good gennz!

Also loving OBEM since got pregnant!

Gennz · 19/03/2014 20:46

Thanks Mrsb! I have felt quite optimistic this time round, my fingernails are growing insanely fast & are super strong, I've developed a weird aversion to prawns which I usually love and I couldn't finish a glass of wine last night! (VERY out of character).

I guess we will know in a few days. Glad to have you girls to tell, DH took a quick look at the test and said "I can't see anything". Gah! Well I have squinted at a LOT of these things over the last 3 months, given my POAS addiction and I know when I can see something! (Must admit it's verrrry faint, almost imperceptible to the naked eye ... only a seasoned pro could make it out...)

mrsb87 · 19/03/2014 18:43

Sounds promising Gennz! Fingers crossed for you x

Gennz · 19/03/2014 18:21

Hi ladies! I tested this morning (10 dpo) and there is the faintest shadow of a line - like so faint that you can only see if if you hold the test up to a lamp, and even then it's v v faint. DH is unconvinced and won't get excited til it'sstronger (if it is actually a line and I'm not going mad). Will keep you posted!

weebairn · 19/03/2014 15:04

hello lovely ladies hope you are doing well - I think of you often.

Over 12 weeks now and scan tomorrow - eek!

I'm on night shifts at the mo and so tired… night shifts and pregnancy do not go. Sickness and tiredness come in waves rather than constantly now, hope they are completely gone soon. I am still in my normal clothes and boobs no bigger but trousers getting a bit tighter - no bump though! mrsb So pleased to hear your awful sickness has finally calmed down. Hope the return to work is ok. You've had such a rough time!

I've never had acupuncture but I do love a massage and have one every few months. And I did have my baby at home Grin though there was no whale music Grin Grin. Didn't watch OBEM last time I was pregnant as wanted to stay positive! Watched absolutely loads postnatally though curled up during night feeds on my laptop and sobbed at every birth, lol.

mrsb87 · 19/03/2014 11:39

No bump as such but my trousers are definitely getting tighter around the middle which is weird considering I've been so sick.

mrshjb · 19/03/2014 11:37

Misskgb- it's not that I knew it was, just that it was in that area at the right time and I didn't get it whilst I was on the pill!

It's kinda good to hear you don't have any symptoms because so many people seem to rule themselves out if they don't feel any different!

I don't know how u ladies can tell what pains are related to ov-I never really noticed anything! ! Would be interested to see what thats like! !

Exciting mrsb not at all jealous. .....I just do not feel pg yet, apart from the painful boobs!!

mrshjb · 19/03/2014 10:54

Oh wow yeah that's a long time to be off work feeling rubbish isn't it. Have you got any signs of a bump yet?!

mrsb87 · 19/03/2014 09:56

It honestly feels like a lifetime helen! I think if I was at work as normal it would have been a lot quicker, ive been at home nearly 2 months though so its dragged. I'm going back to work next week though and starting back doing a couple of short shifts to start off with for a couple of weekals. Can't wait to get back to normal! !
