Emmsy's onwards and upwards part six - sticky icky babydust BFP central!!!

Annie you are right to refuse to treat people with swine flu, I know you could catch it anywhere but there's no point in increasing your risk. You stand up for yourself!

I have a good feeling about MrsKate too but I texted her earlier and told her not to test yet, her cycles are usually 32-35 days and I think she's only on day 25 today. Maybe by the weekend after she's done these two shifts.....
I managed to leave it till day 27 this time on a 29 day cycle. My fingers are firmly crossed!!!

Sights? SITES even!

I,ll send you my email adress Gracie as havent got round to it yet. Just goes to show why you shouldnt put too much personal info about yourself on these sights, hope the rude emails arent freaking you out too much!

Blue-Great news on blood results.

Barbie-Glad you had nice relaxing time by the pool.

Big hellos to everyone else. Im feeling like im coming down with something,been feeling nauseous, headachey, and so tired, just dragged myself through today at work. Ive had 10 people cancel their appointments for the next few days due to having Swine Flu, its a big worry for me as i deal with Joe Public day in day out. The dentists at work have said they will treat patients with Swine Flu, at the end of a day so they can totally disenfect surgery after treatment, I have refused, i just dont want to take the risk. I know i could catch it anywhere, DS could catch it at nursery and pass it on, but ive got to do everything in my powers to not put myself at risk.

OMG Gracie I can't believe people would do that! WHY? (Please send some though )

I had no MS with DD so it'll be a new experience for me if it hapens this time. There's a freaky part of me that wants it as it's supposed to make for stickier beans.

What's your verdict on MrsKate? I have a good feeling...

aww thanks Cupcake. You're so nice

Evening! Yay for the first time in the last 5 hours i'm not sat deciding whether I need to vomit or not! Bizarre thing this evening sickness!

Cupcake my DH knows quite a few of the names on here though he gets them all wrong too!

4ever I'm 11 weeks and 2 days today. Maybe time is seeming like its flying but its really dragging here. My scan on Friday seems like its years away! I'm sorry you're not getting good support for people in RL, I don't think people realise sometimes how much their comments hurt.

Barbie I'm pleased you've booked your scan.

Blue lovely to hear your blood tests came back low risk.

Neeko lovely pictures. I checked the Emmsys email account this morning and its definate proof of the reasons you don't write any personal details on websites, its absolutely full of freaky emails from weirdos (and I don't mean you lot!! ). Its not just random junk mail either, some are personally written to Gracie having read my profile and they aren't wanting to talk about babies and TTC, quite a bit ruder than that! I should probably send some round for you to read, they are quite funny in a freaky sort of way!

Aww Neeko just seen your piccies! Your dd looks just like you! And what are you on about having to send round 'doctored pics'- as if!
Ha, you're so right, it does sound like a porn star name!

By the way blue your name was on the list in the email hoping sent out..you should have had her piccies

Hi Cupcake Peeko sounds like a pornstar! Mind you probably did the deed as much as one last month

Speaking of scan pics, can we please have them posted/emailed so we can all ooh and ah if we want?

Mermaid if you're lurking, huge hug to you. Please come back soon. I miss you. Same goes for Jools

hoping I can't believe a friend asked you that...as we always say on here, people who haven't been through it just don't understand. Btw did you have to give the pearls back??

Lol, I started talking about 'the mumsnet girls' to dh again tonight and he said 'right, you're gonna have to tell me their names again cos I can only remember Peeko and iggypiggle' made me laugh!

Curly you lurking tonight? Still looking lovingly at pic of your dancing bean?

Hi Blue Great news about the tests It must be all becoming real for you now.
When's the wedding? Do you have something bumptastic to wear?
I've never been told I have a Scottish face before What makes it so?

My DH is working silly hours this week 14-16 hours. Seems all I do after DD is in bed (and sometimes before) is sit with the laptop on my knee and my feet up!

Hoping - I didn't get email about your picces .

Neeko - your photos are lovely, your DD is a wee smasher and you have such a cheery, Scottish face . Yes I love, love love Dirty Dancing and was seriously in love with PS back in 1987 . Also remember sobbing to 'Who will love my children' - couldn't watch it now post-DS - I'm too soft.

Came home to two lovely pieces of mail - an evening invitation to a wedding being held at the castle we had ours at which we've not been back to since (you can only go if you hire it out/are invited to another wedding) and a letter stating I'm 'low risk' from my triple bloods . Fully expected to be high and maternal age alone was 1:137 for Downs but increased to 1:377 after bloods. Their cut off is 1:250 so am deemed low. Was 1:8338 for spina bifida. I know its not a guarantee but I'll take it for now.

Neeko waves to Hoping

Hiya. Yes just above my bum to the right hand side. Still have it now but more of a niggle than a pain.

4ever is it weird that I get on your behalf about people in RL not giving you the support you need? really glad to see you're being more positive, sending you hugs

gracie look forward to shorter shifts and paperwork! welcome to my world

vjay ben's hat's on the needles

cupcake on your behalf as well. some people just don't have a clue do they? I had a really good freind (who knew all about the mcs) honestly ask "why is this whole baby thing such a big deal with you?" think we just got to accept some people are not on the same planet as us anymore...

moon hope you're feeling a bit better today

ginger come join our network ! my god mother had her ds at 41, gave me her heirloom pearls as she'd never have another at her age etc etc, dd born 5 years later!

thanks for being so nice about the piccies naturally I didn't pick the mingy ones I like the one with the bow in my hair - I look demented and glamorous in equal measures, just the face I want to present to the world

me too neeko !!!!!! did you get lower back ache near you bum lol

my cycle is 32 and im on 25 today i think

i cant test till saturday now as at work for 2 days

Barbie Good girl for staying out the sun I can't believe you're so far on already. I hope mine flies past like that (I know, I know, it's dragged for you)

Cupcake Lissa is my pet name for her though I use it less now than I did when she was a baby

Hi. I've just tried to email round a couple of pics. Can someone let me know if it's worked? Thanks.
Off to catch up now.

Haha barbie that made me laugh about your dh demanding you used the correct term

gracie hope they sort out your situation soon and that going back to work isn't too much of a 'mare for you!

kate- you've heard neeko and barbie! Try to resist testing as long as you possibly can! Day after af would be due I would say...(so 15 or 16DPO) but sounds promising for you

neeko love it that the tests just happened to 'fall into' your basket Also love your dd's name, I had a colleague called Lissa for short which I think is so pretty. But to you calling me a full time writer... that sounds way too scary, let's just call it 'attempting to write' or something...

4ever I'm TOTALLY with you on the anger towards people wanting to know your business. I have one 'friend' at work and he constantly goes behind my back asking my girl friends from work whether me and dh are ttc again...apparently one of them didn't answer his question but changed the subject (good girl!cos she does happen to know we are trying!) and he said 'oh she's obviously pregnant then!' why are people so annoying??
(rant over)

ginger you must send your email to [email protected] too then you can join our network (that sounds so cliquey doesn't it!)

the pool was lovely...i sat in the shade like a good girl and even feel asleep until a nasty ant bit my elbow

4ever i lived in kingston for 2 years before moving to newcastle, i loved it there...least not because we had a half mil pound pent house apartment on the river, kindly provided by dh work....right next to the pub aswell. Happy days!

vjay love the name ben....oh and dh wanted another dog just to call it 0 prime! strange things men....

Oh and my boobies are called jebs not jubs are i originally wrote, dh kindly asked me to correct myself on here, while peaking over my shoulder!

gg i hope they sort your work out soon!

neeko ill be 10 weeks and 3 days by tues...i agree with you about testing...i wish i was one of the lucky ones who didnt realise until they are about to give birth are about 3 months!

Hello all. Just a quick post as heading back out. Didn't get far with my meeting, lots of sensible and ridiculous ideas passed backwards and forwards and no conclusion reached. The hospital bigwigs are holding a meeting tomorrow afternoon to make a decision on the fate of all pregnant healthcare staff so I'll get a call tomorrow hopefully with more of a plan. I imagine they'll come up with 2 plans one for most areas and one for frontline swineflu treatment areas (which is where I'm supposed to be). I think the general plan is that i go to work next week for two 8 hour shifts (instead of 12 hour) and do paperwork whilst they finish coming up with a plan. 2 of the other pregnant people are off sick anyway and not likely to be back in the next couple of weeks and the other they've already moved out of A&E, so they've only got me to be worried about at the min.

Phew spoke to mum, she swore she just told her that we want some space & that she will tell her news when there is some, exactly as my cunning plan intends. Now feel guilty for going off on one.

Mrskate test test!

Im off to down the strawberry daquiris & sensations crisps that Neeko kindly provided! xxx

hi all

still got cramps and boobs hurt even more. im trying not to get excited about it tho as i get to upset when im not pg.

gracie you have to tell me what matron says ???

i dont know when to test im desprate to now but its too soon ????

Hi Iggy that makes me feel better, thanks. I've ONLY done one a day since Sunday

Are you temping? I had a 7 week cycle before this one (bit of a running joke on here as everyone kept asking me when I was testing) I didn't ovulate until about day 36 and would have completely given up if i hadn't temped and had Cupcake's advice re late ovulation. It made me much more confident this cycle and meant i didn't worry (quite so much ) about not ovulation until cd21 and voila! Since my MMC I've temped, used opks, drunk grapefruit juice etc as I didn't want to miss out on any chances.
