Hi neeko just for you I have just peed on an opk and the line came back very dark and I know I'm not about to ovulate in the next 24-36 hours , so are you pg??????

Joolsiam · 17/04/2009 10:07

aaahhh - a friend of mine has just sent me pics of her 8.5 month old DD I last saw her when she was 2 months old and had just got my BFP - we were at a wedding and I cuddled her and my boobs started tingling

Little girlie looks huge now but so, so adorable with a huge smile and beautiful eyes - my broodiness has just kicked up several notches It felt good to tell her my news - the first person I've told in real life, other than DP

Ok glad I've managed to cause so much confusion. I guess my DH is getting lucky tonight and all weekend Hope you all have a good day ad I promise to do no more testing.

babyinacorner · 17/04/2009 09:45

ps - that post took me forever to write so sorry if im a bit behind!

babyinacorner · 17/04/2009 09:44

hi all - sorry I couldn't post last night, I have a friend staying with me at the moment.(that's not a euphamism for AF!)

Anyway, I have had a chance to catch up this morning.

Bakingqueen - Hope you are feeling better today - you could always tell dh that he needs to keep his strength up for next months bd'ing if af makes an unwelcome appearance this month.

Joolsiam - Hope you are also feeling better and the headache has gone.

Anniecam - You must be relieved to be getting the symptoms even if they are making you feel rough

Littlebellsmum - Hurrah to cycle buddies I'm cd2 today, how about you and what is your strategy for this month?

mermaidspurse - was that your first acupuncture session and does it hurt?

Kate - sorry to hear about the bfn - chocolate is the only way forward - fingers crossed that af doesn't arrive on your wedding day.

4everhopeful - Glad you have an appt sorted - it must be a relief to know what's been causing the mc's and hopefully now it can be sorted out.

hello to bluesatinsash,barbie,neeko,monkeybumsmum,sabsbigpants,
vjay,gracie girl and anyone else i have forgotten.

well i'm on cd2 so not much to report except that af seems worse than before the mc -more painful and heavier - is this normal do you think?

Bit of background - I'm 31, live near Bristol and have one ds who will be 2 in july

4everhopeful · 17/04/2009 09:43

Morning girls!

Hope you're not feeling too rough Jools? All good signs tho! Your sofa is calling you!

Neeko Im confused too re your OPK? Have you tried using barbies guide?! Only joking! After my stress about OV, this morning I was reminded by the sharp pain in my ovary & bloating, that I suffer from really bad OV pain & thats how I know I am! Hopefully looks like im back to 28 days too!

Gracie I must confess I havent been on MC thread for ages, was finding it a bit hard reliving it through poor other girls. Much credit to barbie and the other couple of girls (sorry cant remember now) who came up with idea to move on! We are like mentors tho, maybe we should do shifts to offer some help & support still!

Kate im up for your vitual hen! I'll organise the silly hats/t-shirts/boas etc!

Right - >> to all you other beauties! I must WORK! xxxxxxxxx

mermaidspurse · 17/04/2009 09:39

morning I'm just sneaking in cos I really really have to get some work done - to add even more confusion in if you were to use the lunar calendar you would apparantly have two fertile times in the month - obviously I am going too far down the alternative spectrum and will soon be wearing sandals all year round and actually using the very old bag of lentils in my cupboard
jools you did a lot yesterday, take it easy and that goes for all you clever bfp ladies.
mollie a day at a time you poor worried lady.
neeko I will keep my fingers crossed.
right I'm off cant hide from my emails any longer. I'm going in.

Neeko · 17/04/2009 09:27

By the way my earlier message shoul have said then not ten. Going to really try to curb my addiction for a week!

Neeko · 17/04/2009 09:25

Ok I'm ordering you to go and rest. Even sticky beans need TLC! You can catch up here later.

Joolsiam · 17/04/2009 09:23

Headache pretty much went in the early hours I think, but is still hovering and may come back I think, so am going to try and have lots of breaks from the PC

Nausea still coming and going though

Neeko · 17/04/2009 09:21

Thanks girls. It serves me right or being too addicted to peeing on sticks! Had planned to test a week tomorrow (14 DPO) so I guess I'll just have to wait until ten - and now you'll all have to wait with me!
How's the headache now Jools?

GracieGirl · 17/04/2009 09:17

Jools is right, pregnancy hormones do mess with results of opks. I think some extra BD'ing just in case, then try to stay calm and sane for the next week before doing a pregnancy test, easily said than done, I know!

GracieGirl · 17/04/2009 09:14

Neeko I'm as confused as you are. I guess some extra BD'ing can't hurt. When are you expecting your AF?

Joolsiam · 17/04/2009 09:13

Neeko - I have heard of ppl peeing on ov sticks when they haven't got a PG test to hand and the dark line indicating pregnancy, but I'm honestly not sure of the science behind it, and am guessing that 6DPO is too early anyway, unless you've got a bean that is implanting very early ...

GracieGirl · 17/04/2009 09:12

Jools you are so right about this thread, its brilliant! I still lurk on the MC thread too but haven't posted for a few weeks.

Neeko · 17/04/2009 09:12

Yes last Saturday

GracieGirl · 17/04/2009 09:11

Neeko - I've no idea whats going off with your ovulation kits, wasn't your last positive about a week ago? Just tried to look back on the thread but can't find it.

Neeko · 17/04/2009 09:08

Morning Gracie When are you and Kate next off together and we'll have it then? Snuggle up on the couch with a duvet and have your zzzzs there.

GracieGirl · 17/04/2009 09:05

Morning all!

BakingQueen sorry to hear you're not feeling well.

Neeko, Mollie, Vjay, Jools and everyone else, when are we having Kate's Virtual hen night?? - 3 weeks to go till her wedding, best not leave it too late else she might be still hungover going down the aisle!

AnnieCam - sorry you're feeling rough.

How are you feeling jools? take it easy!

I'm on nights tonight, but was wide awake at 7am. That's not a good start! Remind me to get a nap later else it's a long time till 9am tomorrow morning when I'll next be going to bed - I'll have no chance of waking up and inspiring myself and DH into BD'ing if I stay awake for 26 hours first!

Neeko · 17/04/2009 09:05

I agree about the threads. I still post regularly on the miscarriage thread but it makes me .
I'm only 6 DPO so really don't think it can mean anything. Did a very silly thing yesterday and did another OPK (no idea why) The line was VERY dark so now have no idea what that means. Can you have two surges in a row? I wish I'd never bought the bloody things now as I can't leave them alone. Seriously thinking about putting the rest in the bin but know I'd be back fishing them out 5 mins later. AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!

Joolsiam · 17/04/2009 08:55

Oooh Neeko - where are you in the 2WW ?? I had fizzy nipples last time round - 8 DPO in the afternoon - just wierdly hot nipples, then 10 DPO - was at work and they just started fizzing and tingling - I had to make my excuses and leave a meeting to go to the loos and check them - was convinced there must be something to see - very very strange sensation

All sounds good to me - fingers crossed

Went back to browse MC forum this morning - the sadness and heartache on Emmsys Angels makes me cry - brings all the pain back and makes things so raw again. I still pop in there to see if I can help, but having Onwards and Upwards as the next stage was just the BEST idea.

Neeko · 17/04/2009 08:49

Morning.
Kate Sorry about your friends letting you down and about your BFN. Hope you get ridiculously drunk on your hen night and have no hangover! I'm up for a virtual hennight. Are we having a theme and costumes?
Jools Poor you. Hope your head is better soon. I quite often have severe headaches and know you just want the world to go away and leave you alone. Try to defer as much work as possible. Rest and drink lots of water. Maybe try some steam inhalation too?
barbie Sky diving? Are you truly off your head? You're certainly a braver woman than me!
Vjay and Anniecam Still have fizzy nipples. Very weird. Really trying not to get my hopes up though.
Anniecam Hope the tiredness settles down soon. Make sure you're getting all the sleep you crave until then.
I was out for dinner with a friend last night. Very good night and felt really relaxed but have woken up today with what feels like a hangover even though I had no alcohol Wish I'd been drunk now!
Great big hello to everyone else. Sorry if I've missed any important messages. Not feeling up to doing my homework properly today.

Joolsiam · 17/04/2009 07:31

Oh Blue - I hadn't and would never forget about you I just thought you slightly less in denial / head in the sand mode than me !!

Welcome back Anniecam Sorry you're feeling rough but bet you are glad at the same time

BakingQueen - sorry about the cold Just enjoy the fact that you can attack it with drugs

I had the most awful headache yesterday afternoon and must admit I had yet another freakout, as I haven't had a headache like that since I was on hols a couple of days before MC. Took some paracetamol, even though I was trying to avoid even that - this headache was just too bad not to treat. Slept like a log till 5am. Am now upright, but very tired and a little queasy and boiling hot. Not sure if I'm coming down with something or these are SYMPTOMS Will wait and see. Working from home today - lots to do, but should be able to fit in a nap if I continue to feel like this and, of course, lots of MNetting

I need to be at my best for *Kate's" virtual hen night - pass the apple juice (hic !)

bakingqueen · 16/04/2009 23:13
