thanks twig
maybe we wont tell and ring them after we've told mums next w/e. if we do tell them today, they wont tell anyone as they dont speak to dh's mother's side of family! we'll see. shall discuss in car on way up! its nice that you've told everyone. ,much easier that way. even people at work??? what colour are you having your bedroom?

Certainly a possibility Podmog, have you searched the web for info about this? No exp personally on this but I know OPK and persona are affected by pg hormones and given that b feeding can affect getting pg then it may affect an early test. Hope someone else can help. I would go to the pregnancy threads and put out a new thread for 'Mears' she's our gorgeous online midwife! Very knowledgable and will be able to help u!!!

Hi quackers. You are up late. Am just back from Proms in the Park - left the rest of the crowd there. Have had a few wines and am not sleepy in the slightest. DS is away with parents for a few days. Dh in NZ. Not used to having time to myself and am at a loose end. This time next week I will be in Hong Kong. Dh has been told to lay off teh beer and eat lots of spinach to keep his stamina up ready for my return (also heard good for having a girl - either would be nice but if being choosy a DD to go with DS would be nice). Better go hogging thread on account of wine.
Sleep well everybody

Bogwoppit · 13/09/2003 23:22

We had proms on in the car on the way home from a disasterous trip to the in laws. DS loved the can can. He was kicking his legs and singing along

bunny2 · 14/09/2003 09:05

Pogmog, lots of people get false negatives. I had 4 neg tests before a positive one. Fingers crossed.

Egypt · 14/09/2003 17:30

I'm here but htis morning has been hectice - coffee morning & the aftermath

I rang surgery expecting to have to fight to get an appt, but receptionist said - oh we have a blood clinic on at the moment just pop down now. so that was it everything got dropped, scooped DS up even though he was trying to finish his lunch & off we went. all because it finished at 2pm & I didn't want to miss it!

I did the pillow thing too. got a very wierd look from DH 1st time I did though . I figure now that anything is worth a try.

quackers · 15/09/2003 13:37

Oh Podmog, stick with it chuck!!! Fingers crossed for your new cycle now thoughxxx
Boggy, thats' great!! Results shouldn't be long either!!

Jemma7 · 15/09/2003 14:35

Oh Podmog - i know the feeling!

I'm starting to actually wonder whether it is worth all of this stress, weeing on stupid sticks and constant wondering - surely if its meant to happen it will!

quackers · 15/09/2003 14:45

It stresses you out sometimes, all the testing and looking for signs. I did perfectly well without them, just by listening to my body. Wondering of its worth it too. Gosh we're negative today!!!!

madgirl · 15/09/2003 14:47

I'm here but dh and i skiving joingtly off work becoz it's our wedding anniversary, and i was feeling v low as i hate working full time, and i just feel like ds gets short shrift, and if i don't get pregnant before xmas then i'll go part-time..........anyway this is a conception thread isn't it?! i'm feeling a bit confused now, as it is day 15 of my cycle and i've had just 2 v feint lines and no surge and i get a feeling i'm not ovulating anymore. have sha**ed on days 9, 11, 13, and 15 (just now! ) so what da ya all think??

madgirl · 15/09/2003 14:50

god i know this is my first month of sticks and i wander if it is all worth it, but now that dh and i have decided to have another i REALLY want one! i have even started to get really broody when i see new borns, up until about a month ago i just thought "blimey wouldn't wish those first few weeks on anyone!".
ps i stuck my legs up in the air, dh laughed at my roly poly stomach!

quackers · 15/09/2003 14:57

I don't know I'm afraid MD! Keep testing though, I'm sure these dam things aren't foolproof. I defo felt ov this month and got no surge either.

niknik · 15/09/2003 15:29

Wow Congratulations Egypt and Twiggs. I know I'm a bit behind the times but been on my Hols and therefore no internet access.
I wonder if my fertility doc will put me on it - he said when I see him in October we will talk about treatments. But I'm not PCOS but I think my luteal is a bit short

Quacks glad your well and Jems good to hear all about your strechy. Hopefully this will be your month.

quackers · 15/09/2003 15:37

Hi Nik Nik, good to hear from u!!!!! Hope u enjoyed your hols!!!! Yes I beleive they can prescribe Clomid for this short luteal phase thing as it can stimulate the FSH for longer and therefore it has a knock on effect woth the LH. So I beleive. I'm sure ou Clomis experts will reaaasure you on this!!
