Hi Pink - lurking in an exhausted fashion.

Dachs - congratulations! Hopefully we'll both get to the end with 2 beans. Did they think yours were ID or non-ID?

Welcome Irene - I've been ttc for over 2 years (22 months of which was waiting for this pg). It's a funny feeling when it comes. I hope it's a smoother ride for you.

Waves to everyone else and falls asleep again.

DachshundsWantPuppies · 17/02/2011 20:35

How far along are you now? Mine are not identical. DH wants one of each. I'd like a boy and a girl or two boys. But as long as they are healthy I don't really care! I have your levels of exhaustion to come, I guess!

Next scan on Tuesday. Hope they're both still there!

Thanks Tony. It is a bit weird waiting that long. I'd almost given up.

Mamapower · 17/02/2011 20:41

and another happy bean... yipeeeeeee choccie

Hi Irene welcome if you know Brian you'll fit right in Grin

Nix how about ''ha ha ha ha... get back to work you gossip freak of nature... don't you and the idiot with 2 ii's know it's rude to ask?!''

Hi Dachs - I'm 8+2 now. Only symptoms are sensitive boobs and extreme tiredness. Very occasional queasiness but nothing major and a slightly stronger sense of smell. I have 2 appointments next week, booking in and consultant so hopefully when they hear the news I'll get another scan and confirm they're still there (slight wibble).

Irene - I had completely given up and was convinced I had stopped ovulating too so did a cb digital, got a smiley face and ended up with twins (hopefully).

PinkFondantFancy · 17/02/2011 21:08

Hahaha nipple pork scratching, that made me laugh out loud!!! GROSSSSS!!! I'm not sure what a pork scratching craving says about you, maybe you're in need of more subcutaneous fat or something??? At least the nipple portion won't be hairy-it's not all bad.

Fab news about all the good scans around today!

TTT we are the same amount along and if it is of any comfort, for the last 24 hours I've only been feeling mildly queasy(had been feeling rank for a few weeks now although not actually puking) and I've got my appetite back and my boobs only hurt when I poke them. I'm really working very hard on zen maintenance-feeling a bit wobbly too.

Welcome Irene I hope you're not of a sensitive disposition-lots of chat about dildo cams, overgrown lady gardens and farting in here Grin

Big shout out to mrspv and her mate Brian glad to hear it's all going swimmingly so far, good news about coming off the roids too.

choc hope your trailed scan news to follow tomorrow is ok and nothing to stress you out with.

IreneHeron · 17/02/2011 21:08

Aah Tony, the not ovulating thing, I know it well. I'd had ov strips and a microscope. Could never get a reading from the microscope. Moved house, boxed the microscope for months and then lost the instructions. When I finally had another go at it I finally figured how to use the microscope properly. The instructions had been weirdly wrong. I ovulated later than I thought I was ovulating and got pg immediately. FFS, I've wasted 2 years thought I.

IreneHeron · 17/02/2011 21:13

Pink - my symptoms are currently dry heaving, sore tits and extreme flatulence. Can't believe it, with DS I didn't get anything until at least 8 weeks.

PinkFondantFancy · 17/02/2011 21:22

nix I like mamap's suggestion. Or, have you got a mate in HR? if so, reply copying in HR mate saying "I've put a bit of weight on and I'm paranoid about it and you've really upset me-I'm going to put in a harassment claim, have copied this email to HR...."

owlbooty · 17/02/2011 21:37

Welcome Irene to our happy flatulent thread Grin sounds like you will fit right in. There's a few in here who have been trying for a Very Long Time and we're all very good at mentalling far more than is healthy.

Chocsaway so glad things went well for you and your chap :)

Nix - the cheeky fecker! That is outrageous. Tell them you've got a hormone imbalance. This is, after all, actually sort of true right now.

I have to say, the tone's really gone downhill in here today. I blame Brian.

Today I have eaten three doughnuts. This is not quite as bad as the 6 iced buns I ate last Friday but it's certainly not good. Why can't I stop eating cake? Why??????

Mamapower · 17/02/2011 22:06

owl I can't stop either... I have eaten so much carb today it's ridiculous and normally I won't go anywhere near bread and potatoes and rice... arrrrggggh I'll look 9 months in 9 weeks at this rate!!

digitalgirl · 17/02/2011 22:11

Glad scans went well choccie & wombat.

wombat probably bleeding from dildocam rummaging.

lemon hope you're ok.

Emoo · 17/02/2011 22:31

oiiii shhhh about the pork scratching bumhole or everyone will be asking for one!!

Thanks to all for the reassuring noises about my scan tomorrow. I boldly venture into the unknown with fingers firmly crossed... and a large bar of chocolate, nice bottle of wine and yummy stilton ready at home just in case.

Hooraaaahhh for womblebean and cocoabean

Welcome Irene and what a lovely Valentine's present for you! Feel free to join us here and in particular the subgroup who are crapping quietly in the corner as we speak...! (Or possibly loudly in owl's case if her posts today are anything to go by..!)

Good luck to others with scans tomorrow. I'm sure there were a few of us??? Love - was it you? Or Pretty ?

lemonsherbet · 17/02/2011 22:35

Hi sorry been out for dinner tonight but a happy bean was seen

loola2shus · 17/02/2011 22:53

PinkFondantFancy · 18/02/2011 06:25

Emoo · 18/02/2011 06:37

DachshundsWantPuppies · 18/02/2011 06:50

Good luck everyone with scans today :)

OrangeGloss · 18/02/2011 06:56

Gawd I have no chance of catching up in the time I have, but...

Love and Emoo and anyone else I missed good look with scans I'll be thinking of you.

Yay for good scans, was it Owl? See what happens when no time for notes?!

Wombat so you'll be 10+6 today? I'm 11+5, so nice to have someone nearby date-wise :)

I'm already getting scared of 16 week heartbeat checking. What if they don't find one? Does that happen? Aarggghhh

Ooh, and welcome newbies, I'll be far more thorough when I catch up later Grin

PrettyVacant1 · 18/02/2011 07:11

Me too Moo

Mines this afternoon, tmi for you all so early but I'm hoping it will be a proper external one stead of zillionth Dildocam.
Depending on 3 things; I can work for 2 hrs with a full bladder,Cleatus had grown in the last 3 weeks and scanny machine can get through flubber belly.

Fab news Lemon and Choccie big whoops for happy beans.

Welcome to Irene feel free to parp away round here.
We have no shame.

Phone still keeps re scrolling back on me, so I can't remember who keeps stripping paint off bedroom walls, but join the club. Grin Blush

Glad to see Brian is settling in and you've welcomed him with open arms. Grin

I had a lovely day yesterday,afternoon tea as a B'day treat from my very dear friend then I went out for a Chinese with a few girls from another team in work.
I ate so much, sitting watching them all get steadily pissed wasn't so much fun.

Hope a fab Friday is had by all, I'll try to catch up later but I'm going back to work after scan if all is well.

nickstermum · 18/02/2011 07:44

Will catch up in a bit...

AandRMum · 18/02/2011 07:44

Hi can I perch on the edge of a bean bag - BFP today - still too new to trust it but I have been lurking enviously on this thread for a while ever hopeful!!

PV Brian and I are great friends. I used to read Trixie Beldon and I was certain her brother's name was Brain!

Mamapower · 18/02/2011 07:56
