Hi ladies - thanks for all the congrats. I'm using up ebay cheapie pg tests and doing one a day until they run out - DH thinks I've lost my marbles!

Youngie - how are you doing today? Worrying and sending virtual hugs x x

Fairy - I think pg FB updates should be banned - I've wanted to reply in a mean way to lots of friends (who I'm actually honestly pleased for really) who have announced their pg on there over the past year of trying and failing to get up the duff.

witches glad you worked out the cause of the symptoms - I didn't know pregnancy tablets could do that to you.

Lemony - yay for scan Grin How are you feeling now?

Lou hope you're not too tired - I'm waiting for that mind-numbing first trimester tiredness to kick in.

Pants how are things with you?

UmBongo · 03/11/2010 14:27

Biccy - huge congratulations!

Hope everyone else is ok, I am missing you all as I still have no internet and have to grab opportunities when I can, so haven't read back much! I must remember to go into history and delete mumsnet pages off it when I finish as I am on my dads computer!!!!!

harassedinherpants · 03/11/2010 21:10

Biccie - OMG congratulations!!! Very, very chuffed you x

Witches - welcome! I had similar "preg" symptoms on my first cycle of trying, now I think it was just wishful thinking lol. Still flaming here!!

Fairy - people just don't think. I had the same the other week ((()))'s

Lemon - was the scan really good?? I only had bog standard one with dd, but would love a posh one if I ever get a bfp!

Have I missed anyone??! Grin

No news from me, cd27. Swollen belly, odd stabby pain, huge (even dh noticed lol) sore boobs....... not testing yet as those symptoms could be prg or pmt!! Oh and dd asked if I had a baby in my tummy yesterday as I look chubby.......she's 4 Hmm!

witches · 03/11/2010 21:59

Nice to hear everyone's news hoepfully we will all get to post good news in the near future! I have heard lots of people say they imagined symptoms and could well be wishful thinking but my increidble burping episodes seem to have been down to pregnacare as they have now stopped! thank goodness Wink Fairy i have thought recently that its amazing anyone ever gets preggers when there is such a short amount of time each month it can happen! lucky people who manage it without trying! Envy

Icedlemonmuffin · 03/11/2010 22:26

Fingers crossed Pants!

The scan was amazing and well worth the money. The scan lady was wonderful and didn't rush at all. We came away with a 20 min DVD and loads of pictures. She looked so real and was very active, she even kicked herself in the head. She has the same nose, mouth and long fingers like dd.

I was really nervous before the scan but really glad we went, dd just loves watching the DVD.

Icedlemonmuffin · 03/11/2010 22:29

I should have said the baby looked real and active, it sounds like I'm talking about the scan lady! It would have been odd if the scan lady kicked herself in the head.

lia66 · 04/11/2010 08:10

completrely lol at scan lady muffin glad it went well, and you feel better about it. :) x

harassedinherpants · 04/11/2010 09:00

Lemon - lol!!

Well I'm out for another month. Feeling very Sad this month, think it's really starting to get to me now. I've got no patience and yelled like a banshee at dd this morning, so feel even more Sad at that. I'm at my desk and have a boring meeting to look forward to, but feel like dissolving into tears, grabbing dd and going home. Except that dh is there with a bad back with has effected his voice.......

Sorry, I'm a miserable cow today xx

Loujalou · 04/11/2010 09:13

I had a 4D scan and DS looked like an alien. Wasn't really a fan like DH - he wants another one if we get that far. DS was beautiful when he was born (obviously) but the 4D scan made him look ugly. We were worried! Well not really but you know what I mean.

Pants here are the sambucas - lined up for you to drown your sorrows! It will help you forget! Grin

Biccie you braved it to the ante-natal boards yet? I am still avoiding them.

Loujalou · 04/11/2010 09:14

fairyG I think you should do a campaign for teaching people how babies are made so they are not so surprised that they win one. Also need to stop people posting everything on FB. Think I will avoid it this time!

harassedinherpants · 04/11/2010 16:37

thanks Lou!!

Ok - dumb question. Does an opk show that I'm "actually" ov'ing??

Fairygodmother1 · 04/11/2010 18:51

Iced Just pissed myself laughing at you scan lady comments. DH is giving me odd looks!!!
Lou I will dig out my Sex Ed books & get to work!!!
Apparently according to another thread harrassed

Icedlemonmuffin · 04/11/2010 21:43

Pants I was always a total cow the first couple of days of rtd arriving and I could of just beat the crap out of dh who was really positive that the next month would be the month. (Still feel like beating the crap out of him some days, I blame hormones, I have to live with them as well as him)

Fairy I really hate the 'whoops I'm pregnant people', they act like they fell on a cock by accident and ended up pregnant and I hate the people who say 'can't believe it took you three years to get pregnant, it only took us one month!' they look at you all sad and like you must have been doing it wrong or something.

Loujalou · 05/11/2010 12:25

Iced I think I am always a total cow!!!

UmBongo · 06/11/2010 11:49

Pants I think the opks tell you that you will ov in the next 24-36 hours. Can't quite remember, I have NEVER got a pos off the ebay cheapies, possibly cos I pee more than 4 hours apart! I am ov'ing cos I have had blood tests to say so!

Lemony I love your "fell on a cock" comment!!!!

I know we are doing it wrong - the proof of that is no 2yr old wandering round my house like there should be if we were getting it right!!!

harassedinherpants · 07/11/2010 18:50

I'm going to book me a doc appointment and get some tests! If I book now I can get my own very lovely but very popular doc at a time and dateto suit me Grin.

I am obviously doing it wrong. Less jumping and more falling on cock. I knew I was doing something wrong!!! Wink

Very busy weekend: we did fireworks and kiddies disco and than back to a friends on Friday evening. Yesterday I had my 6inches off my hair so it's now a long bob then we had a black tie do in the evening. Was a lovely party but ended with a nasty arguement between two close friends Sad. Today I've chilled - ok, slept on the sofa most of the afternoon lol.

Youngie - thinking of you sweetie xx

Loujalou · 07/11/2010 19:43

Passes around the turkey basters hopefully I won't be needing them back. Have decided if baby t is born and is ok then that's it no more babies for me.

Found out one girl I used to know who won a baby her boyfriend not too pleased and she is going to raise baby herself. It's all a bit weird but he never wanted kids and was honest with her. She's blocked on my fb for putting scan photos up. I think she doesn't quite understand the challenges ahead and thinks her life is going to carry on as normal. Will be a huge learning curve.

Well hello lovely ladies :)

Just catching up and I see BICCIE has gone and got herself pregnant!!!! :) :) :)

Did you 'fall on a cock' down the park? Well done !! Good luck and hope its a good sticky one. xx

A big thanks to all you out there who sent me big hugs etc I am feeling much better now after a horrible couple of weeks.

My ERPC went well, everyone at the hosp was really good and lovely. I had a room to myself with an en-suite (luxury!) it was so nice to have a loo to myself!
Worst bit was as I was in recovery I heard a newborn baby cry in theatre opposite. It broke my heart. (obviously I was pleased for the woman who'd just had a c/s) but at that moment it brought it home to me what I had just gone through and what I didnt have :(

I have put a lid on all my feelings and havent really had the chance for a good bawl yet, tho I do seem to hold back the tears at stupid times like driving, or at the checkouts etc! I know I must let it out and get over it.

As for TTC , yep, count us in!
Lemony , LIA , LOU , BICCIE wave those pom poms for us needing a bit of luck.

Cheers!

Loujalou · 09/11/2010 10:45

Hey youngie my love still sending you hugs - come and wail at us we are all here. Although it seems to be getting dusty in here again.

I cried when Harry phoned his daughter in Spooks last night!

Ewwwwwwwww at fall on a cock Envy

Icedlemonmuffin · 09/11/2010 17:38

Pants big big hugs and just take one day at a time. After my mmc I had days where I just felt like I couldn't carry on, but on those days I just let myself cry and dh was amazing at just listening and holding me. He was really upset about the mc but was also really worried about me (ended up in resus after bp crashed then up to theatre for emergency erpc).

Just dusting off my pom poms for you Smile

Biccie I didn't go to the doctors until I was nearly seven weeks and got a scan the same day! Does 'accidently sitting on a cock' make you feel less green, this happened to my sisters best mate, she is now preggers with no 3. She said to my sister she didn't know how it happened my sister told her it would be safer to put it in her mouth in future!!!Grin

Bicnod · 09/11/2010 20:07

PMSL at your sister Grin

Louja - I'm staying away from the antenatal boards at the moment. They move too fast for little old me and I like being here with you lot.

harassedinherpants · 11/11/2010 14:34

What are we doing down on page 2?!!

I've been a bit awol this have been hiding out posting on the step parents board as we've taken a bit of a battering!

Lost track of days.....maybe cd7 or 8?? Making dh put some proper effort in this month Grin!!
