Ttc#1 Thread 7. 'I've sneezed twice, dtd, drank 2 glasses of juice, ate some cheese and I want a cuddle, Ovia am in pregnant yet?' TMI alert throughout.

Aww that's a sweet idea feef. I saw a video a few weeks ago. The wife had put a bun in the oven, waited til hubby got home and told him his tea was in the oven. It took him a while to catch on but I thought it was pretty funny

Wooo laurenrl no doubting that line!

I'm thinking about how to tell to confusedcat I would like to do a bit of a romantic/OTT thing! Silly I know but I suppose it's a bit like proposing and he got to do that. I quite like the idea of giving him a present of baby clothes/shoes etc wrapped in a box with the test?

Impy, so sorry to hear that you think AF is on its way.
*
Miley*, I hope you're feeling better now and that throwing up is a good sign!

Thanks impy and confused. I think I only threw up because of this awful taste! And I'm convinced it's because I drank an overly hot cup soup. Not due to test for another 5 days but I got my fw all wrong I think as it stared earlier than ovia suggested.

Ooh miley, I'd be happy if I'd thrown up! When are you due to test? Xxx

Well as rubbish as that is Miley it's a good sign! Fx for you!

confused that would be nice! I'm not massively romantic so he would definitely suspect something haha!

Sorry impy tell her to take her ugly mug elsewhere. I really hate that bitch

I'm at work and have just thrown up. I'm so glad I'm in on my own today! I've got a horrible taste in my mouth and I can't get rid of it. You know when you bleed and can taste the iron? Kind of like that. I can't deal. Also, thrush returned this morning but it's weird as it's disappearing by about noon.

Impy I'd like to think my dh will react nicely but I think he will react more like yours 😂😂

I've never done anything other than show him the test and he goes "Oh. Cool." And doesn't seem to care that much. He gets excited later. Except with DS2 when I showed him the test and he said it was too faint to count and we argued, and then I got a CB digital and thrust it under his nose with a "ha. Told you". So romantic

But I do like the idea of a nice announcement.

Getting lots of cramps and more spotting. Think this time it's definitely my pre-AF warm up don't know wtf all the bleeding has been about this cycle. Gutted.

I'm thinking of going to the little restaurant where we had our wedding reception and getting the lady there to bring his glass of wine in a baby bottle (I know she would play along!)

LOL kathrino really? Amazing.

I dunno, I kind of want to do it in a nice way but not OTT cheesy. I take a lot of action shot photos (got a new gopro for christmas) so might take some and get him to look at them but have the positive test right at the end of the slideshow

Confused, given that my DH asked me to marry him via text message, I would be tempted to go the what's app route myself!

Look at that line Lauren! Amazing! Have a wonderful weekend of celebrations!

How are you all planning to tell dh? I don't want to tell him with a photo of the test on what's app lol!

If I get pregnant this cycle I might fake a period then tell him on valentines day hhaa

Anyone got any good ideas?

elle river is a girl though I could imagine it for a boy too 😊

lauren how cute! He sounds as though he's over the moon! Here's to a happy and healthy 9 months. I often fantasise about how I would tell OH (he wants to be there while I take the test - weirdo).

No idea elle !! I'm phoning the midwife on Tuesday who saidothe last time I spoke to her that if I hadn't bled she'd probably see my anyway if symtpoms were the same... supposed to be seeing her on Thursday. So confusing!

Never ever felt like this before (especially the nausea, slobbery mouth and swollen sore boobs - I'm very tiny and 32c is a BIG change) unless I've been pregnant lol!

Choco are you getting another blood test this week? It feels like we've you've been waiting ages!

12 DPO choc, well actually I wasn't temping or using OPKs so that's an estimate based on CM and pain in the left ovary for most of the 11th jan (I know it's my ovary as after my cyst was removed I got very familiar with where my ovary was and how it felt haha)

Congrats Lauren I'm really happy for you! That's cute about dh and the cat Haha! Xxxxx

LOL at your DSis Starky! I have images of babies rolling on the floor now!

Miley is River a boys name? I like it too.

Impy your little one sounds cute 😊

Evergreen I have a Spanish colleague called Marta which I think is a gorgeous name.

Welcome Ellie!

Hi ladies! What have I missed
Yep stark horse colic is definitely not like baby colic 😂😂
lauren congratulations!! How many DPO are you??

Anything else happened?

My boobs are so sore... not even reducing in the slightest!

Thanks guys, so excited and it's nice to talk to people as I'm not planning on telling anyone other than OH until as close to 3 months as poss!

DPs reaction was sweet, last night he was really smiley and kept looking at me but didn't talk much, this morning he went to get the super drug test and after that one came back with a line he said, 'I'm gonna be a daddy' then picked up the cat and said 'are you ready for a brother or sister' hahaha turns out because he'd never seen anything like the paper one he didn't believe it til it was on the plastic one 'like what you see on films' hahahahahahahhahaha

Passing my luck on to everyone else on this forum, you've all helped so much so far!

woohoo Lauren congrats!!!! Fantastic!!!

Evergreen my husband is a French and Spanish teacher, so loads of our friends are either French or Spanish. The Spanish one with English dh called her baby Zoë. What I love most when we're all together is hearing how lovely all the names sound in slightly different accents! When we picked for DSs everyone said "Oh you need a name that sounds the same in both", but we decided we didn't. We needed a name that could be pronounced in both, but it doesn't matter if it sounds different! It's lovely! (Although we ruled out names if the pronunciation in one language was awful! I couldn't live with Vincent or Thibault in English! Or Nathaniel in French) And children aren't silly, they can cope with accents. And I love that even my 3 year old changes the way he says his name depending on which language you ask in!

I laughed my head off recently as one friend speaks to them in Spanish all the time to teach them largely unsuccessfully and my eldest has a name which starts with a V - he's cottoned on that there's a pronunciation difference and now has an adorable faux-Spanish version of his name

Plant and flower names are lovely!

Ok so I'm jealous you're all exotic! A few of yous have awesome roots and options for names, can't wait to hear what you all decide on I've never in my life wished anything upon strangers as I wish bfp's on you all.

Yay lauren it's definite now!

I think this ones pretty clear! So so so happy
