Good things come to those who wait...and wait...and wait!!! All aboard, we're IIT!

Old thread here

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

sending you very un MN like hugs 100. Sit tight and try not to worry until you have seen the drs at the EPU. Have you got something to do this evening to try and take your mind off it? Maybe go and see a movie or something?

Not really got stuff to do, working tomorrow, was supposed to be working all day, but got the time off for the appointment, so have that in the morning to get through. Think OH will suggest a game of something for this evening.

100 - Try not to panic, doctor was probably just trying to be cautious. FX for you. And IIRC positive lines on tests can be weaker after the first 'surge' of hormones.

JS - I would probably play my cards close to my chest & not tell my DH until I was sure. But then I like you know my DH wouldn't be keen! Try the delaying tactics for booking the holiday. Also, I think that PG tests can work from 10 or 11 dpo as little bean will have implanted(?) by then?? I could of course be talking complete BS. But I think that's the theory of the early, first response type, ones, which work on an 'average cylcle' of OV on day 14 etc.

Feeling a bit shakey & sick. Probably from smacking my head on the floor last night! :(

Thanks Gals.

bebe, I didn't realise that about hormones, so I'll hold onto that thought. Sorry you have had a bang to the head.

What is FX please?

Good plan - NANNYL can you help please?!?!?

finger crossed - I think. Otherwise my use of it has been totally incorrect!!

fingers even!

Bebe - hope that you feel better soon. Headbutting the floor probably has something to do with it!!!

Felt awful last night about an hour or so after I did it. Really headbutted the floor as I fell! :( Don't feel quite as bad as last night but definitely not quite right! Very achey as well, really fell hard!

So typical! I am very clumsy!! Poor DD takes after me! :o

Yes FX = fingers crossed (Or at least that is what I meant)

Agree Nannyl is the PG test guru!

Shall get George to do a train announcement over the loud speaker!

hello everyone just catching up but b4 i do

Whywait- yeah i did have a big bleed at 14 weeks with DD, went to A+E they didnt scan e or anythin just asked if i was still bleeding (i wasnt) asked if id had bad pains (i didnt) prodded my belly and told me they cudnt do anything at 14 weeks and to go home it shud be fine not very helpful but it was fine

mrs sat- my DP also refuses point blank to watch any program with people giving birth, he sed he feels really uncomfortable watching it

100- my bleed that i had was also afta sex, i really hope your ok and that like me it turns out fine, must be really worrying for u, ill be thinking of u tomoro, i will also be in the hosp for a consultants apt at the same time 2pm

JS- hope your not feeling to anxious about testing, r u starting to hope u r now, or that u r not?

bebe- hope your heads ok, sounds painful

sorry havnt caught up properly, literally jumped on comp for 2 mins b4 i start DD's dinner, just got in from work

i rang nursery today and discussed cutting her hours down so i will see wot prices they come back to me with

100 sorry to hear you're so worried. Will be thinking about you tomorrow afternoon. I have also heard/read lots of things about early bleeding ending up fine, though I think I'd be in a worried knot if it was me, too, even if it's not logical.

bebe that sounds like a right whack. Got to say the mental image of you getting a foot caught in your cardigan did make me laugh though, sorry!

Well there are developments here Chez Quod as Mr Quod has come back from 6 days away, has been doing his thinking (no he wasn't sitting on a rock), and has said he has been seeing if he can possibly make it alright in his head to try for a LO this year (possibly in the next couple of months to get one in in 2011...) Not holding my breath, but this is a massive movement from where we were on holiday and at the very least I feel much more like we are making a decision together rather than his work dictating our lives.

Got to get off MN as I have my first session in a school tomorrow on a new project (Yr 4 and 5) and haven't done my planning yet!! I'm quite nervous because I usually work in secondary - having dinner with my mum and my sis tonight though who are both primary specialists so I'll pick their brains!

Hello: REPORTING TO THE LOUNGE CAR!!!!! [GRIN]
so sorry i wasnt here when you needed me... I was in bed having a nap! Have gone from very tired to completley exhausted!
Went up for my bath at 7.45 last night, and was in bed an hour later.... but then had to get up again for OCADO who came at 9.15 instead of 10pm - 11pm

Anyway
100y thinking of you and giving you a virtual hug. Will think of you even more tomorrow at 2pm

Whywait good luck with you 2WW.
I got a not really -VE (but no way +ve either) with an ebay pg test on 30dec, 6 days before period was due.
There was a different shade of white about 8mins after if you held the test at a certain angle under the light.

My 1st responce super early pg tests gave me 2 obviouse lines after 4 mins 5 days before period was due, (but it says read at 3min, dont read after 10min so was a bit confused)

2 obviouse lines were there immediatly 4 days before period due.

I suggest the 1st responce 6 days early that you can you 5 days before period is due and if you get 2 lines before 10 mins is up assume you are in the super early stages of pregnancy as celarly some pg hormone HAS been detected), and retest the next day
Good Luck and hope the result is what you want

Hello everyone,
This thread moves so blinking fast...i've just spent the last 90 mins trying to catch up.

Bebe - I'm so, so sorry for everything that is happening to you at the moment...i can't imagine how you must be feeling but i feel awful for you and really hope you sort it out for both of your sakes!

100 - i hope everything is ok tomorrow...let us know what happens!

Squirrel - i'm dreading the day i tell the bosses at work that i'm pregnant...if that day ever comes. I'm training to be a vet nurse and my training finishes this year. I should be qualified by October. But I'm hoping to start trying then! I'm supposed to work for a year at the practice after qualifying to compensate them for paying for my training...but when i tell them i'm pregnant that will be awkward for them and i'll end up on maternity leave after 8 months or so...which probably won't be so bad...but at the same time it's my life and i'll still be working whilst pregnant and i want to be a mum before i'm 30, especially if we have 2 children!!! So i'm dreading it but i will have to deal with it so i know how the fear feels! I'm happy all your work colleagues have been so supportive!!

DP is still contemplating the TTC thing. No definitive answer but at least i know he's thinking about it.

I've been having some, what feels like period pains, even though i still have the coil in...strange...but they hurt and i'm not used to it...

100years sorry to hear about the bleeding, but am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you. I can't begin to imagine how anxious you are feeling, and I hope you get good news tomorrow.

nannyl I sympathise with the exhaustion! There have been many recent nights were 8pm has seemed like a good time to go to bed, even though I'm normally up till much later. But it is passing now - last night I even went to the cinema and didn't fall asleep :)

bebe sorry about the bump to your head, but hope you recover soon!

quod good news about your DH thinking things over, and hope you can make progress from here :)

js very exciting about the 2ww. If you haven't already told your DH about the timing mistake, and you don't think he'll react well, it sounds like it's best to leave it for now.

jbells enjoy your dinner out with friends! It's always nice to go out with a 50% off voucher

I had my second mw appointment today, which was very boring - all my blood tests and stuff are normal so there was nothing much to do except that I had to arrange getting anti-D. Now I don't have another appointment till March.

I am off to do some exercise now... haven't done anything much (except cycle to work) since about week 8 and I really need to get back into it now the tiredness has eased. Fingers crossed it won't be too hard after a short break :)

I forgot to mention:

Bebe: it is awkward and something to come to terms with when people change their minds...which is why i'm trying to give my DP as many months as possible to give me an answer! I NEVER wanted children all my life. Until October!!! So it's something for him to come to terms with...we're having short intermittent talks about it...so maybe short burst talks about how you're both feeling maybe more manageable for both of you...and also more repetitive so that you can both continue to think about things...just a thought/suggestion! x

xposted astrozola! Telling work is always a bit nervewracking, I think, as it's quite a big thing to have a year off. But they should be professional about it even if they're not happy. But, like you say, you can't put off your life for work :)

thanks squirral meal was nice just got back now and absolutly exhausted its past my bed time lol

i need anti D to the injection is massive :(

morning all

Astro - don't worry about having to tell work. At the end of the day if they aren;t happy then that is their problem. You have to focus on yourself and be a bit selfish when it comes to such things!

I'm off work today. Feeling utterly rotten and so am guessing that the sickness and cramps are down to me having a bug rather then being upduffed! Damn my overactive imagination!!!

100 - good luck at the EPU today. FX for you xxx

100years sorry I haven't replied till now. Work is unbearable since my colleague quit and I haven't had a minute. Hope it all goes well this afternoon, we'll all be thinking of you.

Good luck 100years, I hope everything is ok this afternoon, I will be sending positive thoughts xxx

Hope both JS and Bebe are feeling better. That did sound like a spectacular fall Bebe!

What good news from MrQuod!

Astro- do you think your employer might ask you to pay back all or some of the cost of your course? Is it in your contract? or would they be ok as long as you went back to work after your maternity do you think? I'm sure they would try to be flexible.
