Hello everyone! Just marking my place & trying not to get too over excited given that I haven't even passed the AF deadline yet! Definite BFP though!

Erm, frust that almost made me a little sick in my mouth! Gross!

Yay jojoba pleased to see you over here :)

FrustratedSycamorePants · 26/09/2012 20:01

Sorry ponk fwiw i ate almost all of them before I realised what I was doing. The carried on. But it was the milky froth rather than the actual coffee. I saved that for the double the cream Oreos.
Ps then could not drink the coffee.

Haha! That is too amusing! I have some weird eating habits at times too, when not pg, so I can't WAIT to see what this brings :)

FrustratedSycamorePants · 26/09/2012 20:07

I have odd eating habits, beetroot and salad cream sandwiches but this was totally beyond me. I know it's vile, but at the time it was a bit like something I couldn't control. and strangely satisfying

OP posts:
IBelieveInPink · 26/09/2012 20:18

Beet root an salad cream sounds amazing!
Hm, I ate chips with custard before. That was pretty wrong. In a good way :)

FrustratedSycamorePants · 26/09/2012 20:35

Macdonalds chips dunked in their strawberry milkshake is good too. (again not a pg thing)
ponk I thought you were going to say you've had fishfingers and custard.

Thundercatsarego · 26/09/2012 21:18

Hi ladies, everyone ok? I've had a big curry, yum yum!

No weird cravings/nausea here. Have tried fries in milkshake (chocolate though) in my youth, and beetroot and salad cream sounds nice. Chips and custard...just wrong.

frus, do you think if we keep going at it that pink will eventually change her name to ponk?!!

Welcome welcome jojoba x

FrustratedSycamorePants · 26/09/2012 21:23

I was wondering that thund I like ponk it's like a nickname of a nickname. Wink ponk hasn't told us she doesn't like it. I think we should continue to call pink ponk either way. Grin

IBelieveInPink · 26/09/2012 21:46

If I could work out how to change it my dears, I would. Poor Audrey Hepburn will be rolling over in her grave, but would do it just for you, if I wasn't such a technical dunce!

Thundercatsarego · 26/09/2012 21:49

Ahh you're a lamb, ponk. We'll just stick with it as a nickname then!

FrustratedSycamorePants · 26/09/2012 21:58

I'd tell you how ponk but will have to wait until I have some more energy. I have matchsticks holding my eyes open.

DH has just said he doesn't remember be being this tired this early on before. Bless him. This is probably the first time he's actually paid any attention early on but I am dead on my feet. Night ladies.

Me too! Night folks zzzzzz

Jojoba1986 · 27/09/2012 08:25

Morning everyone! Can anyone tell me when this cramping might go away? I'm so uncomfortable! My only pg symptom with DS was when I need to... ahem... urgently make use of the facilities & promptly passed out so this cramping & the nausea are both fun new experiences for me!

I bet it's a girl. I've always said girls are more trouble than boys!

Thundercatsarego · 27/09/2012 08:28

Morning jojoba, my af-y cramping didn't last very long, just get the odd twinge here and there now.

On the other hand pear got a whole different kind of cramping which has been really painful and is ongoing. That's due to constipation.

FrustratedSycamorePants · 27/09/2012 08:52

Morning all.
Hi jojo 4+4 and still have cramps, usually when i roll over at night, although i'm sure the majority of mine is trapped wind. Blush nausea and acid reflux stuck around until about week 14 with dd2. Then AR came back in 3rd trimester.
I'm looking bloated today, can someone remind me when all your internals start moving about to make room.

Thundercatsarego · 27/09/2012 09:56

Nausea started today. Yuk. Why is there so much dog crap and exploded slugs all over the place, makes me gag. having a mouse out defrosting for the snake's dinner really didn't help either

peardrop2 · 27/09/2012 10:23

Hi JoJo 6+1 and still cramping. It's annoying now. No sickness from me at all. Thunder that is gross, even a frozen mouse would make me gag and I have no sickness :-)

kittykatskumkwat · 27/09/2012 11:40

I've made a rookie error and now I'm panicking!! There is 2 tiny pale brown spots in my knickers but I don't know if they are old ones ( from last mc not washed out well enough to leave a little stain, I have got this in a few pants) I didn't check this morning when I put them on 6 o'clock so half asleep, now I can't tell if it's new or not, theres nothing on wiping etc but just feel wouldn't I have noticed it when I went the toilet earlier as I usually check and don't remember seeing it first time I went the loo, I don't know whether to wait and see what happens or make a doctors app but how can I say I'm not sure if it is or not?!

Thundercatsarego · 27/09/2012 11:55

kitty, I don't know much about this at all, but I don't think you should be panicking.

Two tiny pale brown spots and absolutely nothing else doesnt sound like a cause to panic to me- although others may correct me and say get to the docs. I think if it were me I'd just keep a close eye out and if you get any more, consider it then. Even if they are new, I can't think that anything that small would signify a major problem?!

kittykatskumkwat · 27/09/2012 12:06

Thanks thunder, I'm fairly sure there are old stains but I just hate this panicking and feel real anoyed at myself for not making sure earlier, there's been nothing else in the last 2 hrs totally clear when wiping, I'll keep an eye on it, im just so worried all the time and started panicking last night about going the Egypt in 2 wks and should I be going what if it causes a mc or what If I have one there, what would I do?!?
I know people say not to worry about brown spotting etc but for me that's how my mc started!

Thundercatsarego · 27/09/2012 12:13

Stay calm, kitty!

I know it's easier said than done but try to stop worrying if you can. It doesn't change anything and stress is not good for you. You are doing well at the moment.

I know I haven't experienced what you have and I really don't mean to be flippant about that, but just to give you an outsider's view (and the voice of logic), try to stay calm and allow yourself to feel pleased even though this isn't a nice time because of the waiting. Hope that makes some sense!

peardrop2 · 27/09/2012 12:22

kitty if It was me I would be freaking out too! I had two very light pink\red spots when I wiped at around 1-2 weeks. I panicked but I didn't go to the doctor. I decided it must be late inplantation or my cervix. When you read up there seems to be lots of reasons for spotting that are not related to MC. I don't think you need to go to the doctor just yet, especially as you're 50/50 at the moment. Go and buy some new knickers and calmly keep check like you're doing. Sensible plan...I think :-) However, if you get anymore consider going to hospital for early scan but let's not worry about that yet x
