So, here it is, Part 4! May it bring lots of BFP's for those of us still waiting and may it bring happy healthy pregnancies for those who are fabulously pregnant.

hi all! All quiet here - ankle thankfully not as battered as it could be thanks to plenty of rest and ice. AF due tomorrow so may POAS on Thursday if she's not shown her face by then... no symptoms ATM of either pregnancy OR AF, so I'm baffled!

morerum, sorry to hear you're so sore. I thankfully didn't have any pelvic problems with DS, though the two weeks after the due date were pretty uncomfortable once his head was engaged - could barely walk to the corner shop. I've had friends with pelvic trouble though, and it really is grim. You have my sincere sympathy.

guinnessgirl · 04/02/2014 22:36

PS. Swede, I am seriously impressed at your self discipline. Looking forward to hearing from you tomorrow!

MrsBri · 05/02/2014 05:58

Swede...it's 8 o'clock for you. Have you POAS yet?! I'm very hopeful!

Guinness, I think you should POAS today too!

Gingerbread, I'm a bit more relaxed now, especially as this one is a dynamo like dd was and I can feel him batting round like a loon. :-) I alternate between feeling shit and being starving. Ho hum!

Morerum, I'd definitely finish early if you can. I'm still weighing up what I'll do with work. I'm thinking about going back until I'm 27 weeks, which is 9 weeks' work. The commute got too much at 29 weeks last time, so I'm not going to risk that again.

Hi to everyone else too. :-)

guinnessgirl · 05/02/2014 08:13

POAS... BFN. But it was a cheapie one, so there's still hope.... Confused

Any news Swede?

GingerbreadBabyPlease · 05/02/2014 08:15

OOh sorry Guiness, but yes, still hope for you hopefully!

Swede I'm dying for an update here!!!

I'm off to work now. Still no smiley Hmm

MrsBri · 05/02/2014 08:29

What CD are you now, Gingerbread? You're leaving it late, aren't you? Hmmmm...

Sorry it was BFN Guinness. :-/

Swede, where are you?!?!

BetterNotBitter · 05/02/2014 08:41

Hi everyone!

Hope everyone's well.

Fingers crossed for swede

Sorry for the BFP guinness

Sorry I think I've missed a name change mrsbri? Am I being thick?

BetterNotBitter · 05/02/2014 08:45

gingerbread you've made me realllly want peanut butter cookies!!! Like really want them! I've got really into baking since being diagnosed with coeliacs as it's the only way you can get nice cakes and biscuits, the shop bought ones are appalling. How's your husband doing with FFF?

hungry are we allowed peanut butter whilst preggers?

morerum how many weeks will you be by your next appt? Is leaving work by then a viable option? Sorry you're in pain, have you had any physio yet?

MrsBri · 05/02/2014 09:32

Oops...shouldn't have used that bloody name on here. Bugger!

Anyway, yes to peanut butter, especially in cookie form.

How're you doing, Better?

HungryHorace · 05/02/2014 09:34

OK, so my profile has gone bonkers. Grrrr!

I'll have to reset it.

morerummorefun · 05/02/2014 09:37

better I was thinking the same about mrsbri poss hungry?
im not sure about finishing work early id love to as the atmosphere is terrible hut its only 2 days a week. physio is helping but they have said I wont get better till the baby is born.
if dh was working id leave work and its a shame coz he knows that and feels guilty about itSad.
sorry about your bfn and where the heck is swede today? x

morerummorefun · 05/02/2014 09:37

Hello, sorry have been in back to back meetings all morning.

So I POAS'd this morning and guess what...bfp. Whilst being very excited I am also absolutely petrified as I am so worried that something is going to go wrong again.

On my way to the pharmacy now to pick up some hormones which my gyno has prescribed which will help to prevent mc again (hopefully).

Anyway, have to run but just wanted to share the news. Thank you all for keeping fx for me:)

Thanks Hungry - Just confirmed with digi (2-3 weeks). Excited and scared at the same time. DH is over the moon. Need to focus on other things as my mind is working over time. Flying to Cape Town on business for the day tomorrow, should keep my mind of things for a day anyway.

GingerbreadBabyPlease · 05/02/2014 12:02

YESSS! I knew it too! Congratulations swede! Enjoy the positive test for now and try not to worry, at least the midwives are aware this time and will do what they can for you. Sorry hungry i also suspected it was you but didnt want to say anything! I am on cd13, been using opkssince cd8,dtd cd 10 and cd12. Got my positive last cycle on cd 15 of a 24 day cycle so not great Hmm but i guess ill be expecting one tomorrow or friday. Sorry forgotten what else was said im on my phone!

HazyShadeOfWinter · 05/02/2014 12:23

Congratulations Swede!!! Hooray! Grin

HungryHorace · 05/02/2014 12:31

Did you make a GP appt regarding your luteal phase, Gingerbread?

I'm a CD15 smiley person too, but with a 29-30 day cycle. I know people talk about vit B6, I think, for a short luteal phase, but I'm wary of natural remedies and would prefer to see a GP!

GingerbreadBabyPlease · 05/02/2014 12:47

No I didn't Hungry, I keep putting it off, I'm a bit daunted to go down that route as it means actually admitting that there is a problem and further investigation will be required. Stupid I know because I do think there is an issue and the quicker I can get on with sorting it the better! Grr. DD was just so quick and easy...how can 3 years make such a difference! I think I'm also worried about the gp not caring, and just giving me a blank look when I start wittering on about luteal phases and thyroid problems and PCOS. I'm definately a -bury my head in the sand and hope it goes away- kind of girl.

BetterNotBitter · 05/02/2014 12:50

Congrats swede I hope you can manage not to worry too much. Will the monitor you more this time?

Oh lord hungry apologies for outing the name change! I should have kept my mouth shut! I didn't think! sorry! Thanks re peanut butter, I am getting some this afternoon and copying your cookies gingerbread I'm ok thanks hungry getting bigger! but just looks fat not bump like yet!! Can't wait for 16 week midwife appt, really feel like I need the reassurance of the heartbeat as still having trouble with bleeding. How are you?

morerum at least it's only 2 days like you say, your poor dh, he must feel awful. How's the business going?

gingerbread I'd just go eod this time! that should easily be enough and keep the swimmers strong. And anyway, it's gonna happen this time cos it's FFF so it has to.

BetterNotBitter · 05/02/2014 12:52

Crossed posts gingerbread I too am a burrier!! I'm also always conscious of them just turning you away like you're being silly. My friend had similar issues and the go told her not to come back until it had been a year trying if that helps.
