Green sheets, Pomegranates and Fire Breathing Penis Dragons...wave your green pom poms in the air and jump on the Mad March bus"

[Choccywoccydodah]

Welcome aboard ladies!
Get your pom poms in the air, as well as your ass (post dtd!) and we might get somewhere!
Here's to some BFPs!

Lemon did you do another test this morning?

I'm going to buy a special plastic cup I think. I can keep it in the bathroom.

Mango male urine does deter foxes. DH is constantly being reminded to go outside

Exciting news Writer!

Writer I had a condition called polyhydramnious (something like that) when pregnant with ds2, lots of extra fluid that made me measure full term at 32 wks, the specialist said I'd have him by 34 weeks and he'd be about 13lb, had him at 38 + 4 and he was only 7lb 11ozs, thank god, lol

Great discussion ladies! I too had a large jam jar with wide neck for no missing...but i agree yeo valley pots are a particularly good 'lady shape'!!

Writer - oh wow so exciting! love that you keep us posted...good luck over the next 2 weeks then! x

AF has arrived for me, so I'm out for this round. Was kind of expecting it as I wasn't feeling lucky this month and had no symptoms (other than increased CM, which appears to mean nothing!).

Will be lurking on this thread till the April bus starts. Good luck to all the ladies still on the bus. FX that you get your BFPs!

How exciting Writer! My friend also had polyhydramnios linda and was huge when pg. Her baby wasn't as big as anticipated when he arrived thankfully! It was all fluid.

Sorry about AF aenor fx for you next time

Sorry aenor

Linda yes and another positive but trying to see if it is getting more faint. Definitely not darker anyway. :(

I'm dreading next week having to do my OPKs at school and carrying it round the corridor! Even though they're IC OPKs I might break the rules and pee directly on it. What's the worst that can happen?

I have a temping question - when do you do it? And how? I have the thermometer and hoping I don't have to shove it up my bum.

Sounds horrendous all these massive bumps!!! - mine is quite small actually and I find it annoying enough I must have the opposite of that condition as my bump is only slightly above average size for the stage I'm at but I'm all baby and little fluid, Bump is rock hard all the time because all you can feel is baby's body

Couldn't believe how big I was, I could hardly move and when my waters broke it was terrifying, it wouldn't stop, ds was born with fluid on the lungs and hypothermia because of it, which I'm actually grateful for as I'd been told he may be brain damaged but he was perfect. But I missed out on feeling and seeing him kick and move cause there was too much fluid between him and I

Lemon did they give you any idea when your bloods would be back? You must be so confused.

Gosh Linda that sounds scary. Glad he was ok after a scary start!

No I don't know when results will be back. I am meant to be going overseas with work tomorrow and I don't know what to do. Started worrying if it is ectopic and that's why bleeding I assume an 8 hr flight is not a good idea. Really stuck on what to do.

Lemon Could you ring that NHS helpline (if it still exits) to get advice?

I agree, think you should ring NHS helpline for advice Lemon

I think the new nhs helpline is 111. im going back to hospital for day 21 bloods in morn and a check up to see how im doing before going back to work. pain is now bearable and its not really sore to touch my stomach anymore so im happy just holding out in the tww till 15th

Exciting stuff Writer!

I seriously hope no baby is ever 13lb! Flipping heck, that would be a painful labour!

Glad to hear you're feeling better kurama. Would be great if you got a positive result out of all your pain (I.e. A BFP)

Wellllllll, my ICs might have arrived in the post this morning...omg it is sooooo tempting to pee on one! I have HPTs and OPKs, obviously no need for the OPKs just yet (I'm tempting fate and saving them for next cycle) but I am soooo tempted to pee in a hpt. I'm not due on until Saturday (or possibly tomorrow if I mis-counted my days) and I'm trying to resist, but having a bag full of them is soooooooo tempting! Luckily the postie arrived too late for today's fmu, but I can't guarantee that tomorrow's won't end up on a stick!

With regards to POAS/PIAC - if I have a stick then I pee on it. It's not very pretty but I just keep my hand out of the way and then it doesn't matter if my aim is a little rubbish. I'm another from the all gone down below camp. Can't honestly say that it has made a whole lot of difference though...I think I was just as bad before I got rid of it all! With my new ICs, I'll be PIAC. I was wondering the other day about what to use...would something that used to hold something else (yoghurt pot, tablets tub etc) contaminate the result? I'm guessing that as long as it's washed well then it won't matter what the 'cup' is. I've solved my problem now though by finding a plastic kids beaker (the type you'd use for a picnic/camping trip) and that seems to work quite well didn't practice yesterday. It's narrow enough to 'fit' comfortably but deep enough for me to hold to ridge and pee into it without getting wet fingers!

Whilst we're on the topic - has anyone else been surprised by how much they pee? I didn't think I lost that much fluid in one go, but I found I had to move the cup so it didn't overflow! (Tmi? Sorry!)

I rang the doctor (who had left so had a small wobbly voice moment with the receptionist who I think felt sorry for me and got someone else to call me back) he said it sounds like I'm having a miscarriage. I don't know whether it's good or bad that I didn't even get the exciting bfp moment before this happening. But at least I know I can get pregnant which is kind of reassuring. Just a shame it didn't stick.

Aw lemon I'm so sorry to here this. I hope your ok. Take it easy and let us know how u r xxx

Lemon I'm sorry to hear that, hope your ok x

Lol Spotti, I ended out getting an emergency section and everyone was shocked that he was so small, he weighed the same as his big brother did at birth aswell

Oh no, Lemon I hope not. Thinking of you

Blimey this thread moves fast!!

Only read back a few posts and Lemon I am so sorry.

Absolutely gutted for you. We are all here to shout at if it helps.

Writer not long!!!! I didn't have a big bump with ds. I was actually sent in for a scan at 37 weeks as I was measuring so small!! They said he'd be about 6lbs odd, he came out at 40+2 (just, 4.25am) at 8/13!!!!
The delivery me even said where the ell were you hiding little one? He just unravelled himself lol. So excited for you!!

So, I'm getting the familiar 5dpo very very mild cramping. Hope these pesseries are doing their thing!!

What are the pessaries for Choccy?

Lemon-you're probably still in shock and currently thinking, "Please no, please no, please no..." but we are all here to get you through this-whatever the outcome is. . A big virtual hug from me.
