congrats yacka Grin

maybebabyR · 24/08/2011 09:55

Wohooo Yacka Grin Congratulations!! Though I do believe that brooking no argument also works with morning sickness

Oh Dream you poor thing. I suppose you have tried all the usual remedies, ginger, peppermint, sexy anti-nausea bands?

Sorry you are still feeling tender Wants luckily, I have only ever had one smear, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Do you have one of those tilted womb type things that I have read about?

Imps deffo an implantation bleed. Very, very exciting. Any more symptoms to compare

Musical, this new found serenity is quite clearly a symptom Smile The shortbread sounds immense. I want to bake today as I am lazing around working from home.

GenericDietCola · 24/08/2011 10:04

Yacka congratulations! Great news!

Imps deffo a symptom - not long til your BFP now!

Dream sorry you are feeling rough.

Quick post from me as I really do need to work lots today.

Loooopy · 24/08/2011 10:14

Came across this following mentions by jaggy and dreamfeeder on the TTC/BF thread.

Not sure i quite belong here yet, but inspired by the positivity and stream of BFP's!

My DS is 9 1/2 months, and still BF 3 times a day, 8am, 1.45pm and 7pm, but not had AF since he was born.

Have started to get a lot of discomfort on my left side, no longer dry down there like i was after having him, so hoping that things might be kicking back into action. (i never had period pain before, just got cramps when fell pregnant with DS)

Following the "couldn't be a worse time" logic, in the last week i've eaten rare steak, halloumi cheese, dippy eggs and had a couple of drinks. (all whilst still taking pregnacare which i've taken throughout BF'ing DS)

I know the chances of conceiving before first AF is slim, so not sure i'm actually in the running yet, in a way i wish AF would happen as at least then i'd have some dates to work with, as probably not even ovulating yet!

But living in hope that by posting on here, i will too soon get a BFP!

( and BTW boy can't you lot talk - have actualy read all the posts on this thread - took ages but was entertaining and loving all the cakes etc!)

CakePigeon · 24/08/2011 10:17

Congrats yacka!

imps totally implantation!looking forward to your confirmation surely an early implantation means an early test is in order Grin

Oh no dream sorry you are feeling rubbish I hope you manage to keep some of your breakfast

No news from me, boring boring CD3

maybebabyR · 24/08/2011 10:21

Welcome Loooopy of course you belong! Now you are here, this month will be your month Smile Not sure how it all works when bf tbh, as my impending pregnancy will be number one for us!

Cake don't forget, CD3 is day 3 of pregnancy

dreamfeeder · 24/08/2011 10:24

Hello looopy

Well yacka, that puts it into perspective. I just had bad morning sickness, not hyperemesis, and never had call for a drip! I should get a grip. I still had a whole lot of things that made me throw up, most times of day, every day (including being too hot, too cold, hungry, too full, 5am- my body liked to make me wake up in a rush at 5am for a bit of early morning vomiting, the car etc etc.). This time, neither of us will brook any argument though, and this is the wort it will get. Fact. I think i'm 6 weeks on Friday.

CakePigeon · 24/08/2011 10:28

Welcome looopy I also know nothing about ttc while bf but you have done the right thing coming here as it means you ate already preggers!
Smile

Good point maybe I like it! How far are you into your pregnancy today?

maybebabyR · 24/08/2011 10:31

24 days Cake, a whole 24 days Grin

Yacka · 24/08/2011 11:09

Sorry dream hope u didn't think i was saying u were not having a bad time. [Blush] morning sickness is such a bad thing no matter how bad it gets. I was lucky, if u can call it that, as my doc was very good and got me to test my ketones everyday. He said a lot more people actually get hyperemisis but not enough awareness. So if u get any worse just get yourself checked out. I also found cyclizine helped more that stemetol.
So we both brooking no argument this time :)

Yacka · 24/08/2011 11:11

Doh stupid phone.... Ment Blush

Solars · 24/08/2011 11:20

Welcome Looopy and WOW Congratulations Yacka no.7 & counting this is great news and further proof that this thread really works!!!

Just wanted to say that if I do get a BFP this month it truly will be ironic!!!! Husband is down with Man Flu - he's laid up on the sofa as I write this. He came home last night quite late feeling really unwell so didn't have the heart to jump on him. Not only that but he's on call this week and was called in at 3am to go in to do an emergency procedure, got back home at 8.30 this morning. I think I should be ovulating within the next couple of days and really wanted to make this month count especially since I'd had the HSG :( Sorry to be negative...

BUT i'm still hopeful that come this evening DH will be up and raring to go again so i'm still brooking (in hope). I'm loading him up with lots of vitamin C & fluids in the hope he perks up!

Imps I think that has to be implantation, this is YOUR month!

Wants I'm pretty sure CWI works just as well as SWI!

Solars · 24/08/2011 11:21

Oh Dream hope you feel better very soon, I'll brooking for you too!

Wants3 · 24/08/2011 11:52

Thanks for the reassurance from everyone! Am starting to feel abit better and DH has 5 days off work so I am back on with the positive thinking and everything!

scarletfingernail · 24/08/2011 11:52

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Congratulations Yacka another BFP for brooking no argument.

Welcom looopy

NinjaChipmunk · 24/08/2011 11:53

sorry to hear about the sickness, thats pooh, but hopefully brooking no arguement will help this time.
solars maybe he'll feel better after some sleep and vitamins? If you are not laying your egg for a couple of days you may still be in with a chance this month? If I don't get my bfp confirmed this month then i'll be having an hsg next month too. Its not too bad is it? I'm assuming i'll be able to drive myself there and back?

CakePigeon · 24/08/2011 11:56

Good luck with your SWIing wants and solars - it only takes one little sperm cell!

I am at work and really bored...anyone got any baked goods?

maybebabyR · 24/08/2011 12:01

Ahem Ninja, what's all this 'if I don't get my BFP this month'? You will be getting your BFP this month

NinjaChipmunk · 24/08/2011 12:04

cake you have just made me think of monty pythons 'every sperm is sacred' then.

Sorry maybe I meant when its confirmed. And it will be as otherwise i have to have an hsg and i don't really want to!

Solars · 24/08/2011 12:07

Ninja Yes he's sleeping at the moment, hopefully still in with a chance but i've been getting EWCM the last couple of days so thinking i'm quite likely oving today - oh well!! The HSG isn't too bad actually, bit like a smear. I didn't even feel them insert the dye in. I drove myself there and back, which was perfectly ok. But I'm sure you won't be needing it!

Solars · 24/08/2011 12:08

Maybe the sympathy is being laid on thick and fast!!!

Solars · 24/08/2011 12:10

Cake I really DO hope so as we've only done it once so far this month!!!!!

CakePigeon · 24/08/2011 12:25

Grin ninja I thought of that as I typed it!

solars hope your DH feels better and you are able to clamber on this eve!

Imps7 · 24/08/2011 13:06

Ooh Wants, it didn't occur to me that you might assume I was calling your OH a rat!! Was not intended - I was merely suggesting that the alternative to smacking the rat was cuddling the rat!! I hope you get your shag in before OV - you've still got plenty of time to force OH to SWI nurse OH back to full health.

Ninja - there's too much brooking in your post. Stop with the brooking. It's naughty.

Maybe me ol' cycle buddy - how are your symptoms doing? The only ones I've got other than a Confirmed Implantation Bleed is alcohol aversion (I just don't fancy it - most unlike me!) and today I feel like I'm coming down with a cold/chest infection - sore throat, runny nose, cough, very sore chest, swollen glands etc. Nothing boobular to report - I think the sore left nip was a figment of my imagination, sadly.

Loooopy - hello and congratulations on becoming pregnant by joining this thread! Looking forward to hearing about your symptoms swiftly followed by a pee stick endorsed confirmation of the Blindingly Obvious :)

Imps7 · 24/08/2011 13:08

Arg, sorry, it's Solars OH who is unwell isn't it? Wants, you're still feeling sore after the smear aren't you? Sorry, finding it hard to keep up - damned baby brain.
