January 2016 Babies - anyone else out there?

[ProbablyMe]

Took a test this morning and am happily expecting 5th January 2016. Couldn't find an existing thread but but please direct me there is there is one!!

Did that First Response and got a far stronger line than this morning. I was wibbling a little comparing it to the one I did on Friday, but OH (the logical, rational creature he is compared to me the emotional basketcase!) pointed out that the ink has dried darker on Friday's and the control line is darker on that one, whereas today's is the same darkness as the control line and will probably dry darker than Friday's. So I feel a lot better :)

Have one more test left - will probably do it in a week or so, and hope to see an incredibly thick dark line... I'm still not bored of seeing that second line come up, but definitely time to step away from the tests for now!!!

goodness I looked at that link you mentioned and it's great, thanks!

Had my first bit of nausea this afternoon - Morrisons fish counter did not impress my stomach one bit!!

Valancy great news :)

Btw what do people mean by '6 + 1' etc? Bit thick

I had an awful day yesterday too. So nauseous but craving Frankfurters...othm was it you who said that too? I absolutely had to make a grilled beechwood smoked herta on a toasted brioche bun with fried onion and wholegrain mustard as that was the only thing going to stop me feeling sick. I was correct. It worked.

Parsnip it's the number of weeks and days pg you are, worked out from last AF. My last AF was 11th April, so I'm 5+1 today.

Maybe my last AF was also 11th April so should I consider myself 5 weeks despite knowing I only ovulated 2 weeks ago? Seems crazy to say I'm 5 weeks pregnant when I know I'm not.

Sorry you weren't feeling so great yesterday Brickie has today been better?

brickie That sounds absolutely delicious. I definitely have cravings for particular foods but never anything I have handy in the fridge!

Bluebird MWs and GPs will still count it from your LMP, even though you know they're wrong! It'll get corrected at your dating scan (11-13 weeks).

Hello! Mind if I join? Think im 5+5 weeks Edd 13.1.16 provided all goes well had some brown spotting for a while so have a scan in 10 days! Petrified but keeping everything crossed for a healthy little bean!

brickiemum FRANKFURTER SISTERS

I didn't think of grilling them with fried onions and all though. That sounds nice. I've been eating my 'furters neat, with fingers, out of the pack in the fridge

joey I've done the same with the digis...

Welcome and congrats wlrg! Hope your scan goes well.

You guys are making me want frankfurters in rolls. I don't eat bread and I think I'm going to be missing it!

Bluebird - I just lied about when my LMP was; I ovulated on day 38 or something (was using OPKs so I can pinpoint to within 2 days when I conceived) so them putting me in the system as 3 weeks + of where I actually am is just unhelpful when there's no doubt in my mind.

Can I join...just found out Fri I'm preg..I'm 5 +5/6 today....feeling very nauseous tired and boobs like melons...second baby...have a dd who's 21 mths. ..

Meant to add my edd is the 10th of Jan but was 10 days early the last time so who knows...?

tonic I'm defo pregnant then too Actually alternating between feeling very upbeat and miserable/angry/nauseous.

parsnip 6 + 1 = 6 weeks + 1 day

even cheese on toast is too greasy today. Bring on my booking appointment next week - not because I'm necessarily worried, I just need to feel like things aren't dragging quite so badly!

Welcome princess!

Temps were back up today. Going to ditch the thermometer now so I stop obsessing. AF is officially due today so I will be on knicker watch!

Welcome and Congratulations Wiring and Princess. Hope your scan goes well Wiring

Joey did you say your LMP was actually the day you ovulated then?

Glad your temp has gone back up Parsnip

Oops sorry Wirg not Wiring!

Morning ladies... Had awful cramps in the night, I woke up at 2am with the kind of agonising pains you get before diarrhoea (sorry tmi), also overheated and clammy and feeling like I was going to throw up. Ended up lying on the cold bathroom tiles with window wide open for ten mins until it passed. Really freaked me out as it was miles away from the af type pains I've had! But not had it since or I'd be straight to the doctors this morning... Anyone had similar?

Sorry btw - I promised myself I'd stop moaning about cramps!!

Also (sorry tmi!) no bleeding and pain was all over stomach not just one side which is why I'm not really worrying about an ectopic. OH and I did dtd for the first time past night after getting a bfp, but it was four hours before...

Hi ladies

i got my BFP on Friday for #1, based on calculations i'll be due on 14 Janaury 2016 (apparently!)

Valancy - Just go to the doctor. Seriously. Abdominal cramps don't have to be just on one side for an ectopic. It's recommended to go if you have "strong abdominal pains"

Frankly you don't have anything to lose. If it's nothing then great, and if it is something, then you get it sorted quicker.

Just go.
