hi jools hope you're doing better - just wanted to add to everyone else's reassurance that i think hcg levels can be really variable in the early days of pg, including the very healthist pregnancies! (and you've had all the right signs!) when i've looked up hcg levels in the past they always have really big overlaps from week to week, all within a normal range so I am sure you shouldn't worry about the test - i know that's easier said than done!

Oooo Barbie you poor thing! Hope you had a great night though, even if you are paying for it now!
Can I make a track request for late on at Kate's virtual hen do please? Maybe we could do some virtual karaoke? (and unlike in RL I will be able to hold a tune! ) I have been singing this sing to myself all day and it has cheered me up loads! No idea how to do proper link things but here's trying...

blue can our stripper be a fireman please?
and pineapple and cheese sticks and we really need pink furry handcuffs too. oh thats a bit of an odd selection of things

sadly its not an Elvis wedding which is a shame, if you are going to vegas you got to go the whole tacky way surely

dozzer if it makes you feel better its murky and foggy here but a g&t is good wherever you are

jools I have followed you around today and I am going to say it again r-e-l-a-x easier said than done I know honey and we all love you and it will be ok.xxxx

bluesatinsash · 18/04/2009 13:43

Sorry Jools - x-post.

I've got same test as you and the leaflet does say the 'weeks pregnant' is just a guage so deep breaths and exhale slowly.

bluesatinsash · 18/04/2009 13:41

Afternoon ladies

Been at the hell they call soft play this morning for a birthday party - cue me throwing myself over various plastic padded things whilst more mature Mums sit drinking their lattes . Its tired DS out and he's zzzz so not all bad .

MLS - I think I had an imp bleed with DS but nothing with 3 subsequent pregnancies (God I hope that's not a bad omen, aargh! need to rub my lucky rabbit's paw).

Barbie -loving your bucket, how's the head love?

Mermaid - enjoy your virtual wedding, will Elvis be in the building ?

Hi Neeko - you couldn't stay away could you ? Stop fondling your (.)(.) .

I'm being way cool and listening to my I-pod as I type thinking of songs for Kate's virtual hen. I do like a bit of Pink 'Get the Party Started' to get things moving along . You have to have 'Its Raining Men' too oh and 'I will survive'. Have a great RL one tonight Kate!

DH and me stumbled across'Wayne's World' last night on Sky -laugh? I forgotten how funny it was - schwing!

later ladies x

Joolsiam · 18/04/2009 13:26

MLS - I had implantation bleeds both times - one at 6DPO and most recently at 11DPO - just a teeny bit of pinky red on wiping - seen once only - although the first time I also had brown spotting when wiping the day AF was due.

Fingers crossed for you

Having a wobble today - I stupidly did another test because DP wanted to see it - the Conception Indicator thingie still says Pregnant 1 - 2 but I should be 5 weeks tomorrow, so should surely say 2 - 3 ? Now I am convinced this PG is doomed and my HCG levels aren't rising fast enough

MummyLovesSadie · 18/04/2009 13:22

Mermaid lol at your veiny boobs - the things we have to go through!

Doozer I too have been copping a good old feel & I can't decide if I have slightly fizzy raspberry rips or if they always feel like this???!

Neeko thought you'd be back today, glad you are.

I've had the teeniest bit of spotting today & I'm 6 days post ov, I suppose it is too early for implantation???

I'd be interested to hear from the big pants wearers, whether any of you had an implantation bleed. Apparently they say it is not common but I've heard from loads of people that they had it.

doozerhead · 18/04/2009 12:23

hiya mermaid! How are you? I'm re living in cornwall - i'm in deepest darkest south east london! do you live near the sea? that woud be so lovely. the sun is shining here today though and we have a tiny garden so if it gets a bit warmer this afternoon i am planning on a nice g&t in the sunshine!
Did you start temping in the end by the way? I am starting to get a bit obsessed (I've got two spreadsheets!!)

mermaidspurse · 18/04/2009 11:45

oh sorry dozzer I went out coame back mid post and never refreshed hope you are ok, have a fab weekend.x

mermaidspurse · 18/04/2009 11:43

bakingQueen there's laid back and there's laid back omg girl just cut and paste everything and anything! Neekos right though just start writing and the panic will ebb.
As for your ov question - I always seem to come back on track fairly promptly but there are a lot of women who don't seem to - I expect its gone to hide till you have 4000 words! Thinking of you.x

neeko I have veiny boobs - I just hate all the suspense.

gg hope you are catching thse zzzzzz.

mls looks promising?

hope everyone is ok, especially gingermum not heard from her for a while, hope you are ok.x

kate looking forward to the hen party and hope your rl one is all it shold be, have a great time.

I have a virtual wedding to go too tonight in Vegas! we get to watch the ceremony in real time how cool is that and its heaps cheaper than going too!

doozerhead · 18/04/2009 11:11

forgot to say hello to curly! - sorry to hear you've been feeling a bit up and down hun - hope it's starting to be more up now xxx
and soz to anyone else i missed - even using notepad there's room for improvement with my mn homework!!
xxx

doozerhead · 18/04/2009 10:38

Morning all,

thanks sabs for the tip re using notepad, this is much better than my previous attempts at trying to be memory man!

Really looking forward to Kate's virtual hen night! And Kate have a fab time tonight at the RL event! You really deserve it x

Bakingqueen good luck with the 4500 words - you can do it! - once you get going it'll be no probs - I am just the same though, it's amazing how tempting even a spot of housework can be sometimes!!Re 1st AF after mc, I had my 1st AF exactly 28 days after ERPC and it completely took me by suprise because I had no PM sysmptoms at all - normally I am grumpy, bloaty with v sore chest for 3-4 days beforehand. Still didn't get my normal symptoms with 2nd AF either - i think i'm ov-ing again because of my temping but I wish I would get back to normal!!

Neeko, MLS - can i join you on the symptom spotting?! - from my temping I think I ovulated on Tues, so it is way too early (isn't it?) to have any actual symptoms... but I did feel queasy when I woke up this moorning . Sadly (.)(.) not at all sore,despide my incesant prodding to check! (Must remember not to do this when out of the house...)

Good luck this morning GG.

LBM - I also get a bit of abuse from dh re MN - little does he realise that if it weren't for this forum his wife would be climbing the walls so he should in fact be very grateful!

barbie - hope you have a great weekend! Lol re the Hello Kitty bucket and spade, bet you made some great sandcastles!

Really glad everything's going well with all the lovely ladies with big pants and pants that are soon to be growing! Lion i got a bit teary reading your post re fidget - so lovely

Monkeybumsmum - i have had mid-cycle bleeding before in tiny amounts when i had really bad thrush (oooouch!) Other than that if i get any spotting it's usually towards the end of my cycle, but no idea what causes it. That's prob not much help, sorry - i'm sure it'll be nothing to worry about but you could always see what the doc thinks just for reassurance?

Babyinacorner - my first AF after mc was heavier and more painful than usual too so i think it's probably normal. Really crap, but normal!

4ever - so pleased for you with the test results - roll on May 1st!

really sorry if i've missed anyone. hope everyone has a lovely day - the sun is shining here, so that's a good start

kate030284 · 18/04/2009 10:27

morning girls my hen night sounds amazing i cant wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Neeko · 18/04/2009 09:16

Morning Bakingqueen Can't help you on the ov question but from past experience of writing MANY essays I've found it helps if you just write something. What I mean is don't feel you need to start with the introduction. Start with any point you are sure about and go back later and write tha stuff that comes before. I think mentally it just helps to have a couple of hundered words on your page even if you cut them out later. Good luck!

bakingqueen · 18/04/2009 09:09

Good morning ladies just a quick hello, cold feeling a bit better but still a lempsip and tissue dependant. Getting very stressed as currently written 0 out of 4500 words so far and due in on Tuesday , sit down to do it and my mind wanders onto other things! If I had to write the daour hen nigt mn thing on mc and ttc would have written it by now! Do have a quick question if anyone can help af would be due tomorrow if cycle same as pre mc but have no signs yet that I have ovulated anyone else had this? Sorry not had chance to send you all a message am going to go and sit in the study now and have a small panic attack before starting again

Hope you have a great hen night kate loving the idea of a virtual hen party on mn!

Have a great day all of you xx

Neeko · 18/04/2009 08:49

OK I'm officially an addict - and I love it!!
Good luck today GG MLS any more symptoms?
My boobs seem a little fuller...

MummyLovesSadie · 18/04/2009 08:44

GG go to bed at once you must conserve your energy.

GracieGirl · 18/04/2009 08:18

Morning! Home from work, busy shift, I'm knackered, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

littlebellsmum · 17/04/2009 22:16

Fab idea - how many seat do we need and are we going traditional or the 4wd version. Obviously living in Surrey , we wil prefer the 4wd tractor!!

Have you managed to buy the " just married" kit yet ( crap sex toys, headache pills and condoms - sorry, scratch the condoms and add ov kits!!)?

MummyLovesSadie · 17/04/2009 21:24

Oooh don't forget the 'L' plates & flashing deely-boppers. Shall we book a limo?

littlebellsmum · 17/04/2009 21:18

Thanks MLS - one day less drinking !!!

Now, what else do we need for a hen night? Who is booking the stripogram?

Got to the be the policeman, I think - a doctor might not be appropriate
