Maybe a little bit of nerves? A sip of whiskey could help! Oh, actually scrap that. Save yourself for a little champagne. Ok, you need breakfast. You have breakfast plans, yes??

MumOfTwoCats · 13/10/2012 07:58

Wow how exciting Nic so pleased for you and Bri! Enjoy today, it goes so quickly!

Don't worry about a drink here or there, the placenta is not in for a few weeks so it won't affect the baby!

Lolcbcblemonlime · 13/10/2012 08:15

Totally agree with mum nic! Just don't get pissed!!!!
I reckon u sick due to nerves. Are you telling mum and dad about it?
Have a nice bath if u have time and a good breakfast. Enjoy your day xx

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 13/10/2012 08:42

Bath and good breakfast done! :-)

Off to have hair and make up done now. And thank you mum.

Good advice too.

Yay wedding day has finally arrived for Nicola Grin

Dulcet have you got your virtual hat at the ready? ;-) You're good to wait until Monday to test with FRER but its probably a good idea. Tests are stupidly expensive and the weekend always helps time fly so it will be Monday morning before we all know it...boo :-)

DulcetMoans · 13/10/2012 09:28

I will wear my virtual hat all day! I'll even have a drink or two later to celebrate! Watching bridezillas here, hope you areole serene than these guys nic! Hours to go until you are Mrs Bri!

Is there a difference between FR and FRER? Never noticed before buts don't say anything about ER...! I have plans to get me through till Monday anyway so will go quick pear. Figure AF should be here by then but my other potential theory is I actually ov'd last sat when I had all the cm after running so am on 2ww. But who knows!

BlocketteBananaSmoothie · 13/10/2012 15:15

Yeay! What time is the wedding? Have I missed it?

Do we have a Mrs Nic yet?

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 13/10/2012 15:46

Throwing vertual confetti here 2!!!! Must be time by now!! Grin

batfink2605 · 13/10/2012 16:03

hello ladies, apologies I have been quiet. well I got my bfp but it turned into chemical pregnancy. have dusted myself off and ready to sort it for next month. wish me luck...

letskiwithisthing · 13/10/2012 22:31

Oh I'm sorry to hear that batfink fx that you get a sticky one soon!

MrsBri · 14/10/2012 09:04

Sorry to hear that, Batfink :-(

The wedding was perfect and awesome yesterday. And we had beautiful weather too. So so happy today. It is also surreal!

Lolcbcblemonlime · 14/10/2012 09:26

Hello mrs bri!!!! Glad it all went well. I did think of you when I saw the sunshine!!!! Have u had a sip of champagne? And have u told your parents????
Congratulations xx

MrsBri · 14/10/2012 09:30

I had a couple of drinks, alternating with water or lemonade. Just told people I was dehydrated, which I was.

And no, I've told my sister and my best friend (who happens to be a midwife!). Almost told someone else, but held back.

We will tell people at 12 weeks.

Already got a changing body shape. Odd.

DulcetMoans · 14/10/2012 09:44

Congrats mrsBri, love the name change! Glad you had a great day, we all sorted the weather for you as a gift from mumsnet. When you off on honeymoon?

Thundernonk · 14/10/2012 09:46

Really sorry to hear that batfink, good work for dusting yourself off and getting back on the ttc horse x

MumOfTwoCats · 14/10/2012 10:22

Yay MrsBri! woohoo! And now for the honeymoon! I loved our honeymoon, first trip abroad together ( after 8 years together!).

I expanded like a puffer fish as soon as I got pregnant! 14 weeks today. Look much bigger ! But you look like s skinny mini in your pics whereas I am not quite as svelt!

Congrats again!

peardrop2 · 14/10/2012 11:11

Congratulations Mrs Bri :-) glad to hear it was perfect! Wow Mumoftwo you must have had your scan by now! I also grew bigger from day 1 and I'm 8+5 today.

MrsBri · 14/10/2012 11:38

Bri was asking why I was changing shape already! I said it can happen. :-)

Daft that every twinge you wouldn't think anything of if not pregnant is so worrying when you are though.

And honeymoon is tomorrow. Cannot wait! :-)

peardrop2 · 14/10/2012 11:40

MrsBri you can say DH now ;-) Have a lovely break and relax lots!!!

MrsBri · 14/10/2012 11:48

Ha ha...of course I can. Takes some getting used to!

We will relax. It will be fantastic :-)

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 14/10/2012 12:20

Congratulations Mrs Bri!!! (love the name change!!) Grin

So so sorry to hear ur news batfink
I hope that you're ok. Hope u don't mind me asking but how far past ur positive test did u start bleeding? This TTC can be very cruel. Sad

Well I had another announcement from friend who I know was TTC, so pleased for her but honestly, completely fucking gutted for me. And feel very guilty for feeling that way. Blush Also got told that i look pregnant this week - thanks a bunch!! Being a size 8, I have put on some weight recently, but I neede to in order to be a healthy weight & Bmi for me. That was hard enough but being then told I look pg, well, that was a kick in the teeth - Sad Grr!! Rant over, sorry, nit quite sure where that all came from but I feel better for getting it out of my system!!

batfink2605 · 14/10/2012 14:14

hey raspberrys, got positive on Monday (well four positives) and started bleeding on Friday. knew there was something not right from beginning though as just had a feeling. I am assuming I can try again and taking positive that I can get pregnant.
and congrats on wedding mrsbri.

MrsBri · 14/10/2012 16:39

What I forgot to say is that I was exhausted by 7pm yesterday evening and had to battle on through the evening do!

I also got a headache and had to sit outside the room for a bit while I got rid of it.

And...DH put his arms round me and thinks he may have been doing the shielding thing with his hand as he heard someone say to his wife that she should look where DH's hands were! Oops :-)

Still a fantastic day / night though!

MumOfTwoCats · 14/10/2012 17:51

Hi pear, yes i've had three to date. 5.5 for bleeding, 8w private and 12 wk dating.

I have gained 6 days from my dates.I was due 20 April based on last period but now 14 April from my scan. I ov'd early. They calc the due date based on average of day 16 ov then adjust i think. I told DH that I thought I'd ov'd early as I had a strong pg test at 3w5d and heartbeat at 5w5d.

MrsBri · 14/10/2012 18:26

Should I be concerned that a CB Plus test is only showing a faint positive with the wee I have just had? Surely my HCG level should be increasing enough for a strong positive, no matter what time of day? AF was due today.
