Lets keep smiling and positive, and make sure that this is a Happy year for everyone.

Life is far too short to waste, and after such a rough year for most of us last year, lets make 2006 an extra special one x x x

HK: so sorry to hear whats happening to you. Saying a prayer for you and sending lots of cyber (((((hugs))))) and a huge tub of baileys ice cream and bag of M&Ms.
take care....

everyone else: I also read about that baby rape last night. It just beyond my comprehension that anyone can do that. Makes me feel sick and so so angry.

Hello everyone! Sorry I didn't say good morning properly this morning, but I was so worried about HK and I hadn't had much sleep and was in a daze!

Well I shall say hi properly now - HELLOOOO!!

How are you all?

Seeing as there is virtual ice cream being passed about, can I have some - I'm sure virtual ice cream has no calories!!

kreamkrackers · 11/01/2006 12:35

morning everyone. hope you enjoy your ice cream hell kat, we're all out at the moment, need to go shopping. still thinking about you.

took dd to the lightroom this morning, she loved it so much i'm going to make it a weekly event. anyways, i was in a rush this morning and did a pee test, it was negative at 2 minutes. went to the lightroom and came back went to the toilet, had to look at the test again and there it was a very faint positive. it says not to read the test after 10 minutes so now i'm confussed, should i ignore the faint positive? i can do another test tomorrow morning but i'm just curious now to find out whether this could be an actual positive. any ideas?

Carameli · 11/01/2006 12:36

CH: didn't you know that virtual ice cream actually helps weight fall off you

Carameli · 11/01/2006 12:38

kreamcrackers: I would do another one tomorrow. I a not sure about it, but there must be a reason for them saying not to read after 10mins.
Will keep my fingers crossed for you tomorrow.

I feel a bit low today, just have a feeling this is not the month for me. Don't know why as temps are still ok, but just have that feeling.

FirstNikki · 11/01/2006 12:44

Good luck with the test tomorrow KK

Carameli, try not to be sad you don't know yet, when is your af due?

Agree CH virtual ice cream = virtual calories might try some if the weight falls off then carameli

Still thinking of you HellKat x {{hug}}

kreamkrackers · 11/01/2006 12:45

i know i felt like i could feel something and it's a few days before i should really be testing but everyones different, you might surprise yourself. i still might not be and i think i'll be more gutted because i've convinced myself that i am.

Coathanger · 11/01/2006 12:47

KK - you are supposed to read it before 10 mins because of evaporation lines I think. I wasn't aware of them until I joined this thread, but I think it is a line where the positive result would have been seen if it was positive, but where the pee has evaporated it leaves a line behind (is that right girls?) However saying that, it could still be a positive and your levels of HCG are still a bit low to be picked up properly. I really really hope it is a BFP for you hun

Carameli - Does it really?? WOW!! bring on the virtual ice cream!! Mines cookie dough!!
Seriously though hun, dont be down You should have hope. You never know for sure until you get AF. You might be feeling down for a good reason ;) you never know. Where are you in your cycle (if there is one thing you will learn about me its that I have a terrible memory and will ask questions a 100 times!!)

Carameli · 11/01/2006 12:49

no I won't be too sad, af due Sunday so will wait and see. think dh thinks I am as I have been so sensitive to smells and spices in food over the past few days. Maybe feeling like this is preparing myself so I don't feel so so sad if af comes along.

Hellkat: hope you are ok there and pampering yourself.

must go and get myself some lunch, and dh needs to get back to work

kreamkrackers · 11/01/2006 12:54

most people don't get signs until weeks after they find out that they're bfp, so really don't give up hope. if your sense in smell has gone up and your feeling down then these might be signs of something happening.

kreamkrackers - CH is right, you shouldn't read a test after 10 mins, its not reliable. It is because after this time an evaporation line appears, hence your hopes being high and feeling like it might be a positive.

I would try and wait until you are due on and then test fi you are late, or ont he day you're due. we have had a couple of people on here, get their BFp's by doing an early test, then the pregnancy not carrying on. If they hadn't done the early test they woudl never have known, and eggs often implant a little early on, and give a faint reading and then drop off again. So please don't get your hopes up too high.
Hope that in a few days time you gety our much longed for BFP

Hi, feeling low today, dh job situation really worrying and my agency has said work is scarce at mo. Also went to visit best mates mil on saame ward and bay that i was in for ectopic. She was in the bed next to the one i was in. bit weepy, pls excuse self pity.

Coathanger · 11/01/2006 14:02

G4P you are allowed some self pity hun. Its natural. and everything that happened to you was such a short time ago and of course it will still be hard. You are really going through a rough time and it would be more weird if you weren't feeling low. I really, really hope everything gets sorted out with jobs. I'm sure things will look up very soon. And we are always here for you to scream at if you need to - we won't take it personally xxxxxxxxxxxxx

going4potty · 11/01/2006 14:14

thanks ch, its hard to speak to dh at mo, he is really worried and idont want to worry him more. If he doesnt pass assesment etc and get the position, we wont be able to pay rent on my current salary.

Coathanger · 11/01/2006 14:15

I will keep everything crossed for DH. I am prayin ghard for him

FirstNikki · 11/01/2006 15:04

G4P - Sorry to hear you are low today. Yes it must be difficult working in a hospital and having reminders as you have had today so sorry but as CH said its not been long and in time it will get easier we are all here for you not matter what the emotion ... Am thinking of you and your family...hoping DH gets the position next wednesday and that soon your job worries will be over {{hugs}}

CH when do you here about the outcome from your initial course work?

FirstNikki · 11/01/2006 17:18

Ok, I bid you all good night

HK hope you are resting look after yourself,

G4P hope you are ok

everyone else enjoy your evenings and take care x

Coathanger · 11/01/2006 18:33

Okay, its time to come clean I think. I have been so wrapped up in the troubles the rest of you are having and wantingdesperately to help you , plus the fact I don't wantot admit it, but I am feeling bloody s*it right now I think the icing on he cake was when DH came intot he kitchen this evening and said I was acting like a mad woman () I am so unbelievably tired, and, even though I had a 3 hour nap this afternoon, I still fell like every ounce of energy has been sapped out of my body. And although I am so tired I can't get to sleep at night. I'm not dropping off til about 2 am I can't think straight or function properly. I am frightened I will forget important things and appointments. I am in a right state and I can't ignore it any more. I know there is nothing you can do directly but you know how it is, a problem shared and all that.

I am getting rotten AF pains even I only stopped bleeding a week ago. I am fed up with feeling like his. I have tried not to think about it too much but it is getting too much.

Sorry to do this but I really needed to get this off my chest. Sorry

going4potty · 11/01/2006 18:51

Aw ch, hope your ok, sending you loads of hugs and cuddles.
