Due March 2008 - is it real?

Oh my. Have name changed as I feel like a wee bit of a muppet for coming here while a bit uncertain. Will change back when I know one way or t'other for sure.

Was lurking over a cafe buffet this morning with DS, utterly unable to decide what I wanted to have for lunch. Told myself I'd have the chips but that they would probably taste metallic. Remembered how last night all the food in the house was unappealing, except two corn on the cob (?!).

Penny then dropped, though our TTC last month consisted I thought of getting it on magnificently before and after fertile time. Whipped into Boots for a 1st response after figuring I am 3 days pre-AF. Just got a faint but-its-there positive. BBC website says due date is 1st March.

Anyone else yet? I will not tell dp until the line is brighter for point and show effect, so will probably re-test Friday am. I will be keeping my news, if this really is news, virtual apart from twlling him for as long as possible, as I'm older, my thyroid is knackered and my miscarriage and anomaly risks are high.

Other than that, I am having a little smile:

thisfeeling, are you a hut dweller perchance?

my gp was lovely and v reassuring about early tests, will have a scan in 2-3w to make sure that beanie is in the right place tho

scorpio1 · 21/06/2007 14:11

lissie-i thought exactly the same as you about hut dweller!

lissie · 21/06/2007 14:20

hmm rainbow, think i may know you too....

just been out for lunch and really wanted the mussels but couldnt (obv) and couldnt tell my dad and s-mum why. ITS KILLING ME!! thank god for mn....

rainbowdays · 21/06/2007 18:40

Lissie - I am so so so excited for you. As for who I am, I will let you have a guess if you like, it can't be that hard to work me out now as I have given so many clues away. And I will let you know who I am tomorrow anyway once I have my results. Another clue is that I have only occasionally visited the hut rather than been a hut dweller.

By the way - I don't think that thisfeeling can be a hut dweller considering she says she has not be on ftc boards.... hmmmm!

Scorpio - thank you for being so encouraging. Have you worked out who I am yet????

I am still getting intermittent af type cramps which keeps me hopeful, as I got these with previous time being pg.

as in the hut of gloom? i've read one of those threads, but i'm not a denizen.

when will you tell, lissie? dp is wanting to tell his folks when he goes on saturday. i'm fine with that as long as he handles them if we then have to tell them about a (TOUCH WOOD) mc. when yu say early tests to you mean scans?

af cramps sound the business rainbowdays. i had a nasty set at lunchtime and a very typical implantation bleed this pm, just before af is due.

have just been offered a tasty little job for a couple of days a week for a couple of months, but already think i'll say no as it is almost the entire length of the northern line, and the nausea is already setting in. will have to think hard about this one.

blergh, ok for me at present it is real. major heartburn and nausea at 0300, had to get up, open the back door and sit outside for half an hour to sort myself out.

am going to swap my name back to merryberry (i am an obscure mn'er) and tell the postnatal people from july 05 (when I had ds).

blergh, i feel rough. lissie, are you a hut graduate?

lissie · 22/06/2007 08:34

lol, hi egg. yes tis true. not getting excited yet tho!

merry, yes i am indeed a hut graduate (for the mo anyway) think we have spoken before ni=ot too sick yet, but im exhausted ds and i went for a nap at 2.30 yesterday and woke up at 5.15 when dh came in from work. still went to bed at 9.30 last night too. i am so so tired (and enjoying every minute)

Soph73 · 22/06/2007 09:27

I know I shouldn´t be on here really but just wanted to say Morning to you all and a big wave and to Lissie How you feeling?

rainbowdays · 22/06/2007 11:28

I can finally unmask who I am too - I am mum03, I will continue to be Rainbowdays here as I like it.

YES I AM PREGNANT YIPPY

My blood hcg levels rose from 7.3 on wednesday to 57 today, that is more than double so I am officially pregnant.

merryberry · 22/06/2007 12:36

dance of delight for mum03

(this dance looks very much like the ones pocoyo does)

congratulations

lissie · 22/06/2007 13:20

Soph73 · 22/06/2007 13:23

Ooooo I soooo want to be able to join you but have an absolute age to wait to find out

Soph73 · 22/06/2007 13:23

merryberry - we adore Pocoyo in our house, unfortunately I look more like the elephant than any of the other characters

pootleflump · 22/06/2007 14:20

Huge congrats, lissie and mum03!!!!!!!! (and everyone else)

greedygreedyguzzler · 22/06/2007 14:40

merryberry · 22/06/2007 15:58

grins< at Soph73, but ah she is a graceful, elegant elephant isn't she!

lissie · 22/06/2007 18:13

well, how are you all? got a bit freaked out today by achey pain on my tubeless side but thats gone now and feeling v tired and sick so a bit reassured.

there must be some lurkers out there, come on... dont be shy....

merryberry · 22/06/2007 18:15

sick and tired, check!

am still just going for a pointless walk to try and keep fit. also nice to be alone and let this all sink in some more.

lissie · 22/06/2007 18:24

have fun. im about to tuck into a chinese takeaway from asda, special chow mein, boiled rice and spring rolls. yum!

Rainbowdays · 22/06/2007 18:46

Oh lissie, I was really wanting chinese tonight, but just had it the last two nights, can't ask dh to get it for me again, but mmmmmm egg fried rice and chicken and cashuenuts for me please.....!!

I am getting vague nausea and cramping still. Not too tired, but then again ???

lissie · 22/06/2007 18:57

dh is going out tonight so think i'll go to bed at 8.30 and watch a crappy film...

Rainbowdays · 23/06/2007 07:24

OK can someone explain why I am waking up early each day now? I have woken at 5am the last three mornings , this morning I managed to stay asleep until 6am.... arggg. It is a good job that I am not feeling too tired at the moment. Could this just be adrenalin due to excitement or what?

Well I have to go painting today, walls and ceilings in our new house, but I will today make sure that I have the windows open to get rid of the fumes, this is the first change in lifestyle to being pg for me.... the first of many.

How are you merry and lissie?

Soph, greedy, pottle - thank you for all the congrats and being the cheering team here, it is nice to get a great welcome.
