We are jolly well going to get and stay diffed this month and we are BROOKING NO ARGUMENT.

Today's tests. Another one bites the dust. That's the 11th one that's failed now. Really thought with the strong start it had a chance. 4+5 today and another one that didn't get anywhere close to a 6 week scan. Just don't know what is stopping them from sticking 😞

I never did a cbd! Brooking for good lines today loops

It all sounds very civilised beedle. Maybe they hope everyone goes abroad to the EU ( :( ) so would get their hospital treatment there!

loopy hope the lines look good today, I wasn't brave enough to try a cb digital until I was 5 weeks!

geek hope mrgeek gets better soon. If it's any help I managed to go from 12w to 19w with no scan or mw appointment, and no doppler! Though it did make the 20w scan extra nerve-wracking. It's much easier now with definite movements.

keep Important jobs carry on, but there's always stuff in the newspapers about hospitals being understaffed. And remember my ivf used to just stop for a month. But most people I know who just have ordinary office type jobs will have 4 weeks off now.

geek that sounds dreadful, you could raise a formal comply with the CCG. They hardly want him to be admitted but that's what'll happen if they don't manage his care properly in the community. Hope he gets better quickly

loopy I think the digis are renowned for worrying people, and also normal levels vary so massively. So long as you're still getting a strong line.

Sorry to hear that Geek. Hope things pick up for all concerned soon and hope you get to your scan ok, taxi sounds like an expensive option?

So I'm a tad worried here. Had a wee at 10.30pm and didn't have a middle of the night wee and the wee at 7am wasn't pale (but wasn't dark either, just sort of middle ish) so I used a frer and line the same as yesterday (was hoping for a bit darker as seen from looking on google that people end up getting test lines darker than the control line and mines nowhere near that!). So I used my clearblue digital and it said 1-2 weeks. But I'm 17dpo/ 4 weeks 3 days so was hoping it would have said 2-3 weeks to put my mind at rest that it's still progressing well. Now worried that it's only 1-2.

If the worst comes to the worst imps we can get a taxi to my 20 week scan. Pricey, but doable. The private scans are much further away and no form of public transport to the scan location, either.

They sound like blips or squeals imps, it's quite exciting when you know what they are! There are loads of examples on youtube, I spent hours researching watching before putting wand to belly.

Thanks Keep his care's varied between atrocious (nurse actively refused to change his wound dressing even though it was saturated and dripping on the floor) and below par ('you can have these dressings but only when we dress it for you at the surgery because they're very expensive, even though they're the only ones that can cope with your wound and you need your dressing to be changed four times a day'). The district nurse came only when I called the integrated care centre and begged for one to come out - she recommended a treatment path that the gp surgery nurses wouldn't follow because it was too expensive. He's now under consultant care once a week but even he couldn't recommend anything further last time. All a bit dismal, and very depressing for MrG who's now been signed off work for the last four weeks and has been warned he'll be off for at least two more.

Yes, four whole weeks since my last scan! It's only the doppler and movements getting me through without sneaking off for one on my own I do believe MrG would kill me if that happened though!

Oh geek honey I'm sorry mrg is so unwell. Is he getting good care? Very exciting you're feeling movements already, is that 4 weeks sans scan

Loopy loopy loopy those lines are brilliant! Brooking like billy-o that this is your sticky one. That's by far the best line progression you've posted!

Ahh beedle Brexit or no, I'm moving to Sweden purely for the four week holiday each summer (and hopefully snowier winters than I'm currently getting!) :)

Amazing work on those blankets Imps, you're like a machine! Some great yarn advice, too - nothing I can add, because I go cheap as chips for most of mine apart from the odd occasion when I happen to fall in love with the most expensive wool in the shop, get it home and find out it's part-yak

Sorry for long absence here, things are a bit chaotic with Dad and MrG's care and I've barely had a minute to myself. All is going well here, I've been feeling what I think are movements for just over a week now, and have had the midwife confirm via her own doppler what the placenta, geekling's hb and movements sound like, so I know I've been listening to the right things :)

No scans since 12 weeks as MrG is too ill to drive. I'm hoping to get a private gender scan booked before my 20 week scan but no guarantees.

These are definitely your best lines yet loops

beedle I can't remember what you do but how does the country function in July?! PS are you going to be kicked out if/when brexit happens or are you OK because of dh I assume?

Today's test is the bottom one, at 2pm with 5 hours held wee that was still quite pale in colour, top one is yesterday's from 5pm, today's is a bit more there than yesterday's, although not sure how the photo will load up!

Thanks for the wool tips imps I can just about manage a few stitches with the help of youtube videos!

Pretty much everyone takes 4 weeks (or more!) holiday in the summer. Most of my colleagues are working this week but I'll be back before them to a nice calm half-empty office. It's quite a nice way of doing things because you don't come back after a week or 2 holiday to 10 million emails and loads of stuff that is needed immediately!

loopy I'm certain your boys appreciate a yummy cake far more than they would a knitted jumper!

Looking forward to seeing photos of your creations being put to use when B-B arrives Imps. I wish I was more creative, I haven't knitted since I was very young and wouldn't have a clue what to do anymore! And if anything needs sewing/taking up it has to go to my mom to do! But I'm bloody good at cake decorating so the boys get to appreciate that skill every year so I'm doing ok in their eyes lol.

Today's is the bottom one, the top one is yesterday's, think today's is a bit more there when I compare them?

So today's test photos (mainly so Imps doesn't tell me off!)

Not sure the frer is any darker today, but got a plus on the clearblue. 15 dpo. My wee earlier was very pale so must not drink milk and a cup of tea tomorrow morning! Ended up not testing until about 5pm, so held it from about 10.30am through until then. We went out and I was desperate by the time we got back!!

4 WEEKS of holiday?!?! Crib sounds lovely

That was was a good line yesterday loopy hope you're having a lovely holiday. I'm impressed at your wee-holding :o

imps all those cute little clothes! I've been attempting some crochet, what wool would you recommend for a baby blanket (thought I might buy some whilst I'm in England)?

We bought a swinging crib today, we were in our local second-hand shop and found one that was a bargain. We just need to buy a mattress. MrB was worried it wasn't a bargain but we got hope and checked and they cost about 5 times as much new (and you still have to buy a mattress! )

We're now on holiday for 4 weeks (mainly at home) so hopefully there'll be a bit more baby shopping, or at least looking at stuff. And if the weather doesn't improve, some painting of the nursery!

Awesome line Loops :)

Brooking lots for you all...

Think I'm going to struggle with testing this week! It's not easy holding in wee in this caravan!! Just had a shower, and the shower head is too heavy for the bracket so the bracket keeps rotating round and then the head falls off, was so cold in there fighting with the stupid shower head and the crappy bracket! yestersays line was after 4 hours of holding in, so I still have at least an hour to hold it in until I get to the 4 hour point since I did my first wee of the day. Just hope I haven't drunk too much as I've had a glass of milk and a cup of tea, normally I'd just have the milk and not the cup of tea as well. I hate this, but the only chance I have of sanity is to keep testing to see if it's still getting darker. Not sure how dark the line can go though? Also have 2 clearblue plus's and one clearblue digital with me but not sure when I will be brave enough to use any of those!
