Omg parsnips! I so see it! That's so bloody exciting!! Can't wait for you to test again! When's af due? When are you visiting parents? Long enough away that you can tell them? I'm so excited for you! Will you stay in Dubai with bubs? Sorry getting ahead of myself haha exciting!

mummy that's such promising symptoms! Everything crossed for you!

otters when do you come back from Italy?

seven that really sucks, hope it all works out okay! Wine solves everything! :)

DancingUnicorn · 03/05/2017 07:45

Argh!!!!!!!!!! 😃 Congratulations jb!!!!

JB1983 · 03/05/2017 07:44

Well it ain't a squinter anymore! F**k this is actually happening. So if everything goes ok we will be welcoming the new year in with a baby (EDD 12th January).

parsnips I see a line, congratulations. Try again in a couple of days. Keeping everything crossed for all the other humpers this month.

Hooray that AF has arrived dancing, officially CD1.

Safe travels grumpy

Here, not hear... urgh

HbH · 03/05/2017 07:37

Oooh parsnips Hope this is it! 🤞🏼Two fingers up to the lady that left!!

dancing sorry you're in pain, but yay AF seems to be hear & your fresh start can begin!

Hope your flight/airport nightmare is over soon grumpy

Good symptoms Mummy

Looking forward to some more testing later this week, and hopefully tonnes of Jan babies!! 👶🏼👶🏻

Penguin27 · 03/05/2017 07:35

Omg parsnips I can definitely see a line!! Grin

Hope you have a better day today dancing.

I'm CD29 today, unsure if/when ov happened... Ovia reckons 6 days to AF. Bfn this morning.

HeyJupiter · 03/05/2017 07:31

Hope the flight goes okay grumpy, sorry about the heartburn, so horrible.

Think JB is testing again in a few days :)

Dancing yay for AF!!! Hope she ramps up properly and you get some more spotting/proper flow. Very happy for you!

DancingUnicorn · 03/05/2017 07:19

Bold fail. Sorry you're feeling so rough grumpy. At least you can get out of the airport! Hope the flight is ok!!

DancingUnicorn · 03/05/2017 07:18

Definitely since squinter grumpy. Hopefully hiding a bfp somewhere! ;)

Parsnips ooo...... I'm assuming you would be happy about the bfp?! You were ntnp, right?

They say busses come in threes, but I'm hoping for at least 5** this month! We do like to go on runs of them all coming at once!

Jupiter you're right, she'd be horrified. We're not close, but I definitely get the impression she hasn't really enjoyed any of pregnancy. So I don't think badly of her for saying it. Just wish I hadn't heard!

I'm pretty sure AF has arrived. Started spotting last night. Did a little dance. So painful right now, so if it's not af, then my body is a bitch!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 03/05/2017 07:11

Feeling crap, tired and acid heartburn.. got to board the plane in 10 mins 😭

TheGrumpySquirrel · 03/05/2017 07:11

Is JB ok? Have we heard from her since the FRER squinter?

HeyJupiter · 03/05/2017 06:56

parsnips wow I can definitely see something!! Tentative congrats but retest in couple of days!! All excited for you :)

seven that sounds incredibly stressful. Has there been rumour of your subject being cut or is that your anxiety? Who can you seek clarification from? So sorry you have this to worry about.

Dancing people have no idea do they. I'm sure she would be horrified if she knew how much she upset you but doesn't make it any less hurtful. So sorry that things are so hard but happy you're going to get some emotional support from EPU Flowers

mummy really am so hopeful for you, otters and JB this week. Got everything crossed for all of you x

Wiggleyfingers · 03/05/2017 06:54

Ahhhhh Parsnips!! amazing! That is a great line. I can't wait to see another one in a few days time.

Mummyme87 · 03/05/2017 06:47

parsnips I can clearly see a cross in the box. A tentative congratulations 😊 Hopefully this is a lucky month.

grumpy US airports are nortoriously shit. We left from Newark and it was awful.. this was after I read an article saying Newark may be the best airport in the US 😏

7dpo.. so I don't think us anything to do with anything but I have been for a wee 4 times in the last 12hours. One small and 3 massive like I'm desperate for the toilet wees. This is very rare for me as I'm normally a max three times a day girl. I'm sure it's too early to be related to a possible pregnancy but I'm trying to be a bit positive without getting overly excited. I also did some googling and apparently implantation can cause watery clear mucus discharge due to the build up of the mucus plug I'm not symptom spotting

Seven0fNine · 03/05/2017 06:42

Oooh parsnips that looks promising too. Plenty of squinter action on here over the past few days!! Love it!!! I'm sure parsnips if you have a glass in your hands then no one will question you xx

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 03/05/2017 06:02

*might not miss get!

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 03/05/2017 06:02

Ah genius idea! I miss get follow your tip of heavily diluted slowly drank wine. Must not get ahead of myself now for a few days.

OP posts:
TheGrumpySquirrel · 03/05/2017 05:49

Ahh! Is there someone in the team you can trust to swap glasses with you / get you mocktails? I had a black tie event the evening of the day I got my BFP! I got through it by initially ordering a very very diluted Campari soda then sipping my wine at dinner very rarely so it never got refilled.. not sure if that would be super obvious in your case?! Failsafe is to fake a dentist appointment a few days before - then come in to work and loudly tell everyone they put you on metronidazole for a wisdom tooth infection (the only antibiotic that actually reacts really badly with alcohol - like you puke). Then hey presto you can't drink!

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 03/05/2017 05:45

Eek that is a depressing terminal! Hope the fl get home goes well! California looked amazing!

If this is my BFP I couldn't have timed it any better 🙈 I've got an away day with work with the entire international employment team in two weeks including big boozy dinner and we're visiting both sets of parents and a few friends for wine filled catch ups! Well done me!

OP posts:
TheGrumpySquirrel · 03/05/2017 05:29

Currently waiting in the worst airport terminal EVER. See my insta.. omg it's so depressing and flight doesn't leave for another 2.5 hours

TheGrumpySquirrel · 03/05/2017 05:28

Ahhh parsnips I clearly see it! So excited for you! Def test again in 2 days but ... eek!
