(We left a bit later than planned and I decided I needed a wee before leaving home, so that was after 4 hours of holding wee rather than the 5 minimum I was aiming at. Really trying not to get my hopes up but now feels like my body isn't as broken as it was, as I've not had a line progress so clearly every 24 hours for so long now! Just hoping it continues as I really don't want another MC to spoil our holiday. Although now worrying myself silly in case going in the pool causes me to pick up an infection that could cause a MC. Is that at all possible or am I being daft? It's a pool at haven, and so not necessarily the cleanest of places, although at least it won't be as busy as when it's the school summer holidays!

YES now that is what I call a line!!

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 02/07/2016 10:47

Eeek. 14 dpo and strongest line I've had for at least a year

Sounds like a cracking plan Loops. Have a fabulous holibobs and if you can't post I look forward to hearing that you have a v strong line still next weekend.

May not be able to post much over the next week as off on holiday and reception there is patchy, and there's no wifi other than whatever we can get on our phones. Hoping to test later, however my 5 hours of
holding in wee is 11.20am and we are not allowed to check in until midday! Hard enough holding it for 5 hours as it is! Still crampy so am hoping it's still holding on in there, started the clexane last night but not used any progesterone yet. If today's result looks good then I'm thinking I will leave the progesterone alone. My body grew 2 boys without it and ever since I started taking progesterone I've not had one get past 5 weeks. Can't help
feeling there is a connection.

Oooh that's the strongest line you've had so far Loops. COME ON EMBY we really need you to stick.

Barry-Baxter is an Unidentified Brooking Bean Loops. I'm not sure any of us know the sex, although Geek will be finding out soon.

keepitgoing · 01/07/2016 13:00

Ooh that's much stronger loopy, fingers crossed. No, we are all unidentified, me imps beedle. Geek will be finding out shortly

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 01/07/2016 12:27

Ps loving the shots of clothes drying! Remind me Imps do you know if it's a boy or girl yet? Can't remember if any of you know your sexes yet?

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 01/07/2016 12:26

And here is it against yesterday's one. Please god let this continue.

Tbh you should be able to do that there too unless they need to do more monitoring. It's only that they do tend to do more monitoring. Our mw unit is just across the hall, it just seems a bit more homely/friendly but to be fair I don't think I really noticed that while I was giving birth! I'd def go for a walk around if you're given the chance. Are you at the Rosie BTW?

What cute clothes you have!! BB will be the best dressed baby in town

I don't know Keep - I didn't ask Blush I'm assuming so, which is fine. Maybe it's ignorance on my part, but I'm not bothered about where I give birth. It would be nice if I could walk around though and try different positions rather than being strapped to the bed flat on my back for the duration. Am sure the time will come to discuss birthing plans.

Totes bargainous Keep! I've done a clothes audit for Barry-Baxter - we've got plenty for the first 6 months I reckon so I'm not going to do any more clothes shopping. I washed them all the other day - twas a lovely sight to see them all on the dryer!

An extra scan is always welcome imps but does that mean you have to deliver in the consultant unit?

Brooking for you loopy

pasta I'm impressed! Is it hard? 2 AFs in a month?? You are a good brooker to keep hold of her

Bought a pram on eBay! £50, will pick it up tonight then will get a buggyboard as per kip's request. I think that's the only thing we need to buy. :( will take kip shopping in a few weeks to buy a cuddler for the baby

Pasta not sure if you've seen [[http://attic24.typepad.com/
this blog]] before, but it features some nice patterns which are really well explained with lots of photos. The blogger does come across a bit "practically perfect in every way" from time to time, but her patterns and explanations are good and not hideously complicated.

Pasta your granny square looks excellent!! Well done, esp without having private tuition!

Loops am willing that line on, like never before. Glad the midday PIAR seems to work for you too!

Had my consultant appt this afternoon. I will have another scan at 34 weeks (although it will have to be 33 or 35 weeks as I'm on holiday at 34 weeks as luck would have it) to check on Barry-Baxter's growth. Given that I didn't have any RMC testing they really have nothing to go on in terms of risk (as in, what might have caused them) but as everything is going well so far they didn't seem overly concerned.

I think I'm the only one here who isn't pregnant or TTC to I might have to Beedles Shock

BeedlesPineNeedles · 30/06/2016 13:17

Congratulations trix 1.5mm sounds perfectly fine.

loopy I can see that line, so it must be there! Fingers crossed for a sticky embryo.

Well done pasta that looks really good from just following youtube. I hope you don't have to take AF from all of us!

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 30/06/2016 12:54

So today's middle of the day FRER shows a definite pink line, that just shows on a photo, compared to yesterday's one that wouldn't have had any chance of showing up, although I still remain useless at ever getting the lines to look as they do in real life. 12dpo today. it isn't real unless I make it to 5 weeks.

Loopy AF turned up here on Monday, this is the second visit this month so you are clearly pg as you have confused her and made her visit me early. Much as a 25 day cycle isn't fun, I'd rather she was here and avoiding you for a super sticky one.

Trix Fab scan news

I've attached a pic of my crochet. I'm learning through YouTube so not as easy as having someone with me to show me what to do or pick up if I'm going wrong

I just bought some more bits and bobs for Barry-Baxter. I will do an audit tonight of different sizes but I am pretty sure we have more than enough clothes now.
