How come you have to wait so much longer misskgb? Ok I'll put you down as as yes then :) Hope your appointment went well today? Yeah I think I definitely would, unless there was some way that you occasionally might not be able to hear the heartbeat, in which case I would spend the whole time potentially risking having an absolute heart attack!!

I really hope that we're all still talking when all of your babies are born, it'll be really nice to hear each others experiences!

I reeeeeeally hope that I've not forgotten anyone!

very jealous of lady being able to find out the sex at the end of may- I'm a week infront of you and have got to wait until the end of june!! I think we're going to find out so put me down as a yes H- I just might not tell anyone (apart from you lovely ladies!)

15 week MW appt today- get the results of various tests. Hoping that includes the measurements they took from the back of rice krispies head and my blood which says about the chances of chromosome problems such as downs. FX they're clear if they do come today. Not sure if we get to hear babys heartbeat- I've read some places they say it happens at the 15 week appt but other places didn't mention it. I've not told DH incase it doesn't happen. So tempted to buy a doppler now!!

Ladymillion · 20/05/2014 08:10

Great news lolly! Smile

mrshjb · 20/05/2014 07:28

Aw fantastic news! Glad everything went well :) I'll update your due date later! Does it feel more real now then?!xx

Lolly84 · 19/05/2014 21:52

Hi everyone

Thanks for all your lovely thoughts!! What an amazing experience! Had a little dancing baby kicking it's legs lots and flipping around. You really don't believe it until you see it! All I could do was nervously laugh. DH was amazed. I am due 28th of November :-) all good so far.

Xx

Ladymillion · 19/05/2014 20:52

Massive reassurance, it's hard to believe you're still pregnant when there's no bump and you feel EXACTLY the same as before pregnancy haha Wink

Fingers STILL crossed for you H (always crossed) xx

mrshjb · 19/05/2014 16:02

Yeah that's so so cheap. I'd be very tempted to do the same because it would really reassure me!

Ladymillion · 19/05/2014 15:57

Hi H! Yeah I bought one from Argos, it was around £18 which I thought was an absolute bargain! It was so cheap I didn't think it would actually work haha

mrshjb · 19/05/2014 15:35

Hey Lady nice to hear from you. I would definitely be the same and be reading up on everything at every stage! It is crazy to think that our bodies can be so clever (well fingers crossed mine can anyways) Oooh have you bought your own doppler then?

Hi everyone, haven't had a chance to read all the updates but I did read earlier on someone saying about - when TTC'ing and wanting it so bad, that when you do actually get pregnant it makes you so appreciative of such an amazing thing and I really agree with that! For me it's the fact that whilst TTC'ing I did so much research and it opened my eyes to exactly how many intricate processes have to take place to conceive and then for a baby to grow... It just baffled me and it still does. It definitely changes your outlook on the whole thing compared to someone who manages to get pregnant without actively trying. I have a friend who is not inquisitive about her pregnancy at all... She can't understand why I read up about everything. But i love it and it makes me so grateful and excited every day! It's given me a new outlook on life and I feel SO lucky.

PS on Saturday I had a doppler delivered and my partner found the rapid little heartbeat in about 5 seconds! Smile

14+7, DD Nov 11th, hopefully finding out the gender on 30th May!

Good luck on your scan Lolly Wink

KikiThePea · 19/05/2014 09:25

Good luck today, Lolly Grin
Enjoy the experience!

mrshjb · 19/05/2014 07:28

Good luck with your scan today Lolly :)

Lolly84 · 18/05/2014 20:27

Oops meant what if's not what it's!!

Lolly84 · 18/05/2014 20:26

Hiya

How lovely is this weather. Have enjoyed wearing loose clothes to cover the pounds I have put on with naughty eating. Last week was the first week I really felt like fruit and veg so made sure I have ate as much as poss!

Helen - good signs so far and sounds like you are being realistic too. Got my fingers crossed!!

My scan is at 2:30 tomorrow... Really feeling weird about it which I am sure everyone feels that way. All the what it's are going through my mind. Before ttc I thought people just got pregnant and felt it and nothing bad really happened. Now I see a completely diff side to it.

Wonder how Chilly is getting on, she is not far behind me.

Keep us updated H xx

mrshjb · 18/05/2014 14:31

Yeah sure plenty of people have done a lot worse whilst pregnant and gone on to have healthy babies!

Spotting still pretty much none existent and had no cramps or anything yet. Probably shouldn't totally rule myself out until AF arrives, which will prob be Wednesday! Need to stop reading stories of women who had spotting and then got their bfp though. Went through all this last month and it was a waste of time!!!

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend in the sun!

misskgb · 18/05/2014 09:34

Good work H

I had a bottle of wine two days before my bfp in London so shouldn't worry! !

mrshjb · 17/05/2014 18:43

I'll update/ change you all soon, too hard on my phone! :) sounds like a lovely day misskgb other than the burning obviously!

Thanks weebairn. It's unbelievably tiny amounts of colour after a wee and some times none at all. But sure it'll be AFs slow arrival. if not I'll be a bit concerned because I've just finished my 5th glass of wine of the weekend, which I've justified as if I'm not pregnant I'll drink and be merry wine

misskgb · 17/05/2014 17:39

I lied, my due date is 8th nov. Ooops!

Oooooh exciting lolly. Be sure to tell us all about it!

Like weeb not uncrossing these fingers just yet h!!

Met up with the wife of one of dhs friends today whilst the boys did boy stuff. She's due end sept. Was great talking all things baby. She's a midwife too so we gossiped for hours (causing me to burn in the sun!)

weebairn · 17/05/2014 17:15

Aw mrshjb it's pretty normal to find it all hard. AF isn't here properly yet it sounds like so I still have fingers crossed for you!! And as you say if it does turn up that's a good sign you're back to regular cycles now.

My EDD is 30/9/14 (which is my toddler's second birthday!!)

mrshjb · 17/05/2014 16:58

P.s. I'll add you on Monday so we have a more accurate due date :)

mrshjb · 17/05/2014 16:57

Thanks Lolly. It's still ridiculously tiny amounts of slight colour so if I was crazy I could be thinking it might be implantation, but after last month I'm sure it'll turn in to AF in the next 3days ish! But yeah it's fantastic to have 2 AFs appear at the same time :)

Ooh not long at all to wait until your scan. What time is it at?

Lolly84 · 17/05/2014 16:39

Hey ladies,
Wow looks like I've missed a lot! Hope u r all ok. Helen came on to see how ur doing, so sorry to hear about the witch making an appearance!! Great news on normal cycle, that's great!

My EDD bearing in mind I haven't had my scan yet is 02.12.14. Scan on Monday and very nervous...eek xx

mrshjb · 17/05/2014 09:31

Morning, feeling much brighter today! When I think about it rationally, next cycle is only our third with normal periods (fingers crossed) so although it feels like we've been trying for ages, we haven't really with all the hassle of the irregular cycles etc. So that's not too bad really. It had just been a long day yesterday, me and DH got stuck in traffic for 3 hours trying to do a 30 minute journey so think I was just oversensitive in general!

Yeah, misskgb I should definitely take comfort in still being able to eat and drink what I want! Although me and DH have decided to ditch the junk food this month. Not really anything to do with TTC, more so we've just been pigging out a little bit too much recently! But at least that's my choice and not forced upon me! Are you taking pregnancy vitamins? If so I'd presume you'd be getting all the nutrients you need at least?

Hope the move goes well binky!

I'll compile the statistics list and keep adding to it as people reappear:

Kiki- due 23rd September, not finding out sex
Binky- due 10th October, hoping to find out sex
Misskgb- due 4th November, undecided but leaning towards finding out sex

Mrshjb- awaiting proper cd1 and then will be on to cycle 3 TTC
