Old thread here

Make yourselves at home everyone. Jake & George are just loading everyone's 'baggage'!

so sorry you are feeling poorly bebe

Hope you feel better soon.

No exciting news here.
My tummy still feels a tiny bit strange (could be my imagination), but i feel it in my bones im not pg.
My temps have been the same for the past 3 days.... above coverline but not getting higher and higher
in 48 hours i will have tested (though maybe a bit more as it will be after NYE so will have a late night and lie in!)

OMGoodness. I felt a lot better yesterday, today is another matter. I have done 5 tests so far, all positive, I still keep thinking I may do another one in a day or two. Kind of doesn't feel real. Was blubaholic yesterday!!!

I had a little crocheting lesson from my OH's mum the other day :) So I am pleased, I now know how to crochet a granny square, so if I keep going it will end up being a nice blanket. :) It's in some very bright coloured wool, so I may end up starting a new one, but got a nice one to practice with. And my turbo trainer is staring at me from it's box. Will be setting it up soon to get pedalling.

AC I had some GHDs given to me a few years ago, my hair is poker straight anyway, but I thought I may use them for curling my hair, I did that 3 times, since then they have been used twice to calm a bit of sticky out layered hair. I'm not sure they will still work!!! And I didn't think for one minute you meant I shouldn't talk about it. I just wanted to be able to talk about other things.

MrsS, necklace and earrings sound lovely :) And thanks for the cereal advice, it's one I love, but can't eat because of something in it. I am finding a slight aversion to thinking about any sugar coated cereal, so the honey waffles we have which I do love are not being touched by me.

nannyl, believe me, I have the symptoms and still don't' believe it all, and when I felt less sick yesterday I thought, oh, why am I not the same. Today I am feeling pukey again, do I believe it any more than yesterday, nope! Cheap bay tests are good, not that I have them, but you can POAS to your hearts content. Enjoy your family time.

bebe, thanks, I'm pretty sure you want to go through it again because it's worth it! So do you think you will be able to talk your DH into SWI this month now you have AF? I hope so for you.

Exciting story on our local news, the new purpose built womens centre at our big hospital (where I had DD) opens next week! As this is where potential DC2 will be born it is good to know that they are improving services! (Although I hope next time I will get to deliver at the local MLU)

100 - I'm sure everything is fine! I didn't really believe I was PG until I saw the first scan, then it was all a bit too real!!

Nannyl - still got fingers crossed for you! :)

If I can persaude DH to SWI then I will have a due date of 6th October...perfect! However, I don't think my attempts at persauding him will be effective! I was given the details of a MS nurse who has written a thesis on MS in Pregnancy. When I told DH about it, he said, 'why did she give you her details?' Erm....so we can talk about the weather!!! Have left the baby names book next to his computer! :o Will tell him in a bit about the new centre at the hospital! Hoping his SIL might drop some more hints again later!

Just thought id update you all

OH nipped out and at 1715 (when i hadnt pee'd for just 3 hours) i couldnt resist and did an ebay test.

Im pretty sure it is -ve but not certain.... have been looking at it and 10mins later the feintist of feintist of feint lines can be seen if you hold it under the light. This could be an evapline maybe?
I havnt got any instructions so not sure at what point its reliable and when its an evap line... was def there a lot less than 20mins after testing though

its so feint i would describe it as a different shade of white as opposed to pale shade of pink.

OH can see it too (after i had directed him to exactly where i could see it) but even he says there is no way that can be read as a +, just as a maybe.

I agree.... it IMO is def not a B FP, but the feintist line,(thats off white) in the world is visble when you hold it under the light bulb

think i need to test again tomorrow morning

Nannyl - Test again 2moro with a FR one maybe?

10 mins is usually the point the test expires, nannyl but as Bebe says, try again in the morning. It's very early days. I really hope you get a +!

Well Im so confused...
decided to use a 1st responce this morning...
my room is quite dark (as curtain were closed, and and rubbish energy light bulb was on)
anyway at 3 mins i looked and at first glance there was nothing...
showed OH and agreed nothing

kept looking as you do for a minute or so and decided i could see a second line of some sorts, so took it under the light.

Realised there was def a pink line.
OH came across and can also see a feint pink line.

We saw this at 5 mins (and it should be there by 3) but in the same light we still couldnt properly see it.

So how do i take that? Test again tomorrow i guess but at 4 - 5 mins after testing i have 2 pink lines. but it says you should see it at 3 mins and at 3 mins if im honest (in the dark) I didnt see it ... at 4 - 5 mins it WAS there!

TBH Nannyl I think I would test again 2moro, I know that must be driving you mad! But you need to read it at the stated time otherwise it's not so accurate! It's still very early days! Fingers still firmly crossed for you! (Of course you could try not peeing for 8 hours during the day & give it another go later )

Bit of a momentous day here today, we are taking DDs cot down & putting her in a bed! :( Feel a bit upset about it! Hoping it might spark a conversation with DH about TTC, need to find a home for the cot! DH had a really crap day work wise yesterday, spent the whole journey to his sisters on the phone! :(

I hate New Years eve, always such a let down! Not going out, will probably be in bed by 10!

hello everyone, just been trying to catch up will post properly later

but just wanted to say nannyl dont give up hope the first couple of tests i did the 2nd line came up very late and i thought mite be an evap line, maybe try again with a first response that comes up either pg or not pg that way u cant be unsure if u know wot i mean

gudluck :)

if your hcg levels r low becasue its very early on it will take longer to appear

bebe- i am not looking forward to tonite either knowing everyone is out partying and having fun whilst i will prob b asleep by ten also lol, im 25 going on 65 lol

im getting lots of kicks and movements everday now and DP sed he felt them in bed the other nite when i was just lying nxt to him, downside is bump is getting bigger and starting to get uncomfortable sleeping, also had flu jab yest so have a very sore arm :(

Nannyl don't forget you are testing really early - it sounds promising but time will tell. I guess this shows how urgently we want to know. There was a woman on her first cycle of ttc on another thread who was not yet in the 2ww who was saying she couldn't understand why everyone tests early and she never would. I thought to myself it is a little early in the day to say that!

thanks jingle bells

IMO this test has detected some HGC after 4 / 5 mins (this would be normal for most other home pg tests i think) also in only on day 25, 10 days PO, and 5 days early (according to what first responce call early)

Personally i belive i am but its the earliest of days.
I want OH to pee on one (as he is not pg lol, and see if you get any form of line)... jhave done a few random pg tests in my time and NONE of the not pg tests have ever had any hint of a line either just after testing or even several hours after testing either!

Bebe so sorry to here DH is still stressed
hope getting DD into a bed makes him realise its time to try for number 2.
good luck

(will of course be testing again tomorrow and keeping you posted!)

Just re-read instructions:

words are "read as soon as possible after 3 mins"
"do not read after 10 mins"

So surely a +ve at 4 - 5 mins IS a +ve?

I think it sounds like you're pg, nannyl, which would give the wonder bus an almost perfect record!

JBells and Bebe I am a bit jealous! I hate NYE and would love an excuse to crawl under the covers until it is over! I agree it is always a let down.

Still too early to ttc. Rats!

nannyl- i am going t go out on a limb here and say congratulations by the sounds of it you hav been struck by the lucky train and u are pg :) if youor anythin like i was u will end up testing agen today lol also think getting your OH to pee of a test is a great idea hehe

AC- i think NYE is a catch 22 if u r stuck in u feel like your missing out and shud be out, and if your out it is always a let down and u wud prefer to be at home in bed, when r u starting TTC (its so excititng we will have a train full soon)

bebe- tell your DH the lucky train is telling u to TTC lol i really hope he comes round to the idea soon for u

DH has been called away to work. Just left! Feel so miserable, just want to curl up in bed & cry. DD keeps saying, 'Mummy be happy!' :(

Nannyl - sounds promising! Keep testing! Sounds like the lucky train has struck again!

JBells today is CD7 and I usually OV at about CD17 to CD20, so some way to go yet. DH is still on board... for now!

ahh sorry your upset bebe- my DP went bk to work today too :( hopefully your DH will be back soon

Bebe xposted with you. Sorry to hear that DH has had to go. Why are you miserable? Has he gone for a long time? Are you ok? x

oooh AC thats good news, not long to go then its like the final countdown :) mite aswell get lotsa practice in for the nxt ten days :)

DH was supposed to be at home, not due back to the office til next Tuesday. But because of yesterday's 'crisis' he has had to go off with his dad. He shouldn't be away overnight, but will be gone all day. We were going to do DDs bed & have a family day. Just feel like his work always comes first. Makes me :(

But...I have taken DDs cot down, by myself! And I have put her new bed up, by myself. I know I will probably get into trouble, because I shouldn't be doing it alone, or because I left DD (happily playing with playdough), or because he wanted to see her see it for the first time, or one of a hundred other reasons. He will of course fail to see that I saved us from the usual argument because he hates flatpack & gets in a right strop about it, and also because if I waited for him it'd never get done. This afternoon I will be cleaning out the washing machine pump filter because I have been asking him to do it for a week & I can't really use the machine again til it's done!

Enough ranting & moaning from me.

AC - v exciting that your DH is still on board! :)

JBells - sorry your DH has gone too, sucks doesn't it?!

Bebe, nice news about the local womens centre :) DD is a big girl now, hope this leads to some conversation for you.

Nannyl, omgoodness, exciting and scary time over the next few days then for you, fingers crossed that it was there and becomes more Big and Fat positive.

AC get practicing now, I think this dot is the result of some SWI around CDs 11-13! And I'm normally longer than that, but had loads of EWCM that weekend so I reckon it's got to have been then. Only time will tell once I've got to 12 wks and had a scan.

jingle, yay for DH feeling the kicks :)

I'm working tonight, so this will be a very busy night for us. Then it's a few days off, the tree will come down, the cards will come down and the next year all begins.

La dee da now it's not happening this month

oh dear AC wot happened?

bebe- it does suck but i think its better for me as i wasnt suppose to be a family day and id know all wk that he was in work today, hes off sat, sun and mon tho, we have not argued at all since hes been off we are so much nicer and better together when he isnt working dont know y, work seems to cause problems for us

Hi all! Am just checking in before heading to a friend's to see in the new year (if i stay awake that long!).

Huge congratulations 100years what fantastic news to find out at Christmas, hope you aren't feeling too sick or anything yet. And it sounds like congratulations for nannyl too. I got faint lines for a few days when I first tested... drove me mad waiting for a strong line but like someone said, it's still really early to be testing so give it a few more days and the result will be clearer.

The exciting news here is that we've started decorating one of our rooms to be a nursery :) DH is up there with the polyfiller making sure all the cracks are filled in, before we paint tomorrow. We've bought some paint samples (going for yellow walls) so will try them out tomorrow and decide on a colour. It'll still be a guest room until baby is about 6 months, but it'll be nice to have it decorated.

Hi to everyone else, hope you have a happy new year
