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.

morning all! Quick update - still no AF this morning so buying a better test to POAS later...

Metalhead · 06/02/2014 08:20

Haha, might try that next time morerum!

Good luck guiness, hope you get a BFP this time.

HungryHorace · 06/02/2014 09:56

Good luck, Guinness! Superdrug tests are good but not too expensive. :-)

Morning everyone!

GingerbreadBabyPlease · 06/02/2014 13:32

Good luck Guiness. Will you go later or wait for FMU?
Oh forgot to add to Hazy - no I don't poas either, I too piactstsiac...I think I would wee all over my hand otherwise!!!! Shock
Glad all went well with the scan ATruth. Really hope I get my bfp this month, then we can have a thread for joint birthdays between siblings!!
Still no smiley for me, but I did get some ewcm today so hopefully I will get one tomorrow morning.
Will reply properly later as I'm at work today.
I've got an interview in the morning for the job I applied for though Grin

guinnessgirl · 06/02/2014 13:41

Gingerbread - great news about the interview. Well done! Just POAS with a first response - BFN again Sad think AF must just be late for some reason. Boooo.

GingerbreadBabyPlease · 06/02/2014 13:45

Ah boo, sorry Guiness. We all get the late AF but bfn cycle at some point. I had mine over christmas, eventually got AF on cd34 after normal 26 day cycles.
Sorry, don't mean to scare you though! Hopefully it's just a shy one, or you ovulated late?

guinnessgirl · 06/02/2014 13:48

yeah, probably did OV late - still had EWCM for a few days after the expected date, so that would explain it. Envy

HungryHorace · 06/02/2014 16:20

Congrats, Gingerbread! :-) That was quick!

Fx for a smiley tomorrow.

Late OV could also mean late BFP, Guinness!

GingerbreadBabyPlease · 06/02/2014 20:38

Thanks Hungry, I know! Only handed it in yesterday about 5pm! Just trying to figure out what to wear to it, ugh it's so easy for blokes...shirt and smart pants, tie and jacket if it's a bit more formal. A very part time job in a bookshop, what does one wear to an interview for that!?
Love the pram Hungry! It looks like a really good one. Have you been pushing it around your house? Smile
I have been saving up my wee for the past 3 hours, so off to POAS. Hungry I think I've caught your addiction, I'm doing it twice a day now!
Sorry you're classed as high risk Better, that is a bit rubbish, but at least when you eventually get to see the consultant it will be reassuring to know they are looking out for you. Can't believe your mw forgot to refer you though!
How is everyone else?

HungryHorace · 06/02/2014 21:00

I always wear a suit for interviews, or smart skirt / blouse. It doesn't matter if it's smarter than you'd have to wear for work as it just gives a good impression. :-)

We haven't been pushing the pram round the house, though DH has been taking photos in every feasible position!

If the cosy toes comes tomorrow I'll take DD out in it. Can't wait. :-)

I used to POAS (or PIATH - piss in a tealight holder) in the evenings too! My cramping would start the night before my smiley, but I never got a smiley til the morning.

Toothpastekissesno2 · 06/02/2014 21:52

Congrats swede!! So happy for you! Have a good feeling too.
I've missed so much I don't even know where to begin / my phone doesn't scroll back that far!
All good with me. Twenty week scan a week tomorrow and I can't wait. Feeling lots of little mini froggy kicks but there is nothing like a scan!
Goodluck all x

GingerbreadBabyPlease · 06/02/2014 21:53

Hmm ok, good to know. I guess it's better to overdress than underdress. Skirt and blouse it is! Grin
Haha to DH, it's like a new toy for grown ups!

GingerbreadBabyPlease · 06/02/2014 21:53

Oh and the stick was negative. Grr. Fingers crossed for the morning. Pretty sure I didn't imagine the positive last month....

MrsBri · 07/02/2014 07:15

Good luck today, Gingerbread. :-) Both with POAS and the interview!

Swede, how are you feeling?

Kt, Monster and Metalhead, are you all OK?

Toothpaste, so exciting about your scan. Bet you can't wait! How's your sister?

Morning to everyone else. :-)

HungryHorace · 07/02/2014 07:16

Facepalm Again.

I'm going to have to moan to MNHQ about their system going wonky.

guinnessgirl · 07/02/2014 07:33

morning all! Still waiting for AF but more philosophical about it now. We have a lovely holiday in Scotland booked for early Oct and probably couldn't go if I was due mid Oct, so maybe it's for the best Smile Hungry, there's definitely something strange afoot with your names!

HungryHorace · 07/02/2014 07:43

Guinness, on the iPhone you can change your posting name. I use my old one for antenatal threads after being outed on it, as those are 'safe' places where whoever outed me can peruse at their leisure. I don't care what they see.

My new name is for everywhere else where I can discuss what I like and remain anonymous to the bitch person who outed me, but is so brave as to not tell me who she is. (I discovered my cousin the other day and immediately let on on case she didn't want me to know. She's fine about it, but it's only polite to tell someone if you out them, I think.)

It used to only change your name for one post. Now it bloody keeps it, so you have to remember to change it back. Frustrating as I've now outed myself everywhere and need to change again. :-/

Do you feel like AF is coming, Guinness?

Metalhead · 07/02/2014 07:45

Good luck with the interview today Ginger! Working in a book shop sounds lovely.

I've been quite tired and nauseaous the last two days, hoping that's a good sign. Still very nervous about my scan next week though. Kind of have already prepared myself for bad news, so at least if it is then it won't be such a shock.

HungryHorace · 07/02/2014 07:49

I mean the post natal boards too. Sigh!

Today is a bad day...clearly 7 hours' sleep is too much and has totally buggered my brain up.

Metalhead, I did that too, as I was convinced I'd have bad news.

I really hope you're wrong, like me and Better were. xx

BetterNotBitter · 07/02/2014 08:14

Ooooh good luck with the interview gingerbread

And I hope your scan goes really well toothpaste let us know how you get on!

How's things hungry?

Anyone doing anything exciting this weekend?

HungryHorace · 07/02/2014 08:29

I'm doing ok, Better. I took myself off to bed just before 10 last night instead of sleeping on the sofa, then spending hours awake once I got into bed, so actually feel rested today. See how long that lasts!

I'd like to start feeling baby more now though as the reassurance from the last scan is fading! How about you? Still desperate for the 16 week appt? Can't be long now as mine is 2 weeks on Monday. When I make it!

Suppose we should get up now, though DD is still asleep, so maybe a little while longer!

BetterNotBitter · 07/02/2014 08:56

Mines a week today, I'll be almost 17 weeks by then. I'd feel happier if I could feel the baby moving like you say. I'm still anticipating bad news but if it would just consistently wriggle I'd feel fine! I've felt it a few times but just when lying in bed on a night, it needs to get a move on. Still haven't bought anything or even made a list yet which usually I'd be right on by now but just feel abit like tempting fate. That said, I do 'feel' more pregnant now than I have all the way though.

Hey, want to hear sometime weird?!

guinnessgirl · 07/02/2014 09:13

Better - my weekend is super exciting actually, I'm off to London (all the way from Oop North) for two days of child free catching up with old friends. On my way now! I totally owe DH big time for this Grin

something weird? Do tell?
