[misskgb]

The 'Um hello newbie' thread has maxed out at 1000 messages so hoping we can find the people who were on there and continue where we left of..........new people welcome too!!

[misskgb]

Love the obem chat-I love watching it. Ive said previously that I hold my breath during it a lot!! Noticed I cry at it more now im pg but just makes me excited to see what my little rice krispie will be like! Dh still refuses to watch it. He says he'll cope with it at the time from the head end!! :-)

[Lolly84]

Lol Misskgb think my DH will do the same. X

[Gennz]

Oh I looove OBEM. It hasn't been on here for a while - I knew I was getting clucky when I started crying when the babies were born every single time!

I am 9dpo/CD24 today - BFN this morning but not too worried, it's probably too early. I have noticed my fingernails getting really long and very strong this week - might be a good sign? (then again might be the folic acid).

[mrshjb]

Morning everyone!!

I tried to make DH watch it last night but I think he's pretty determined that he's not going to watch it. He just said he doesn't need to know about stuff that could go wrong because he'll be worried enough as it is, but he thinks it's a good idea for me watch because then I'll know more about what to expect!! Might get started on them at some point!!

mrsb87 I'm guessing it's the same person because on the whole time I've been on MN she's been the only one who has repeatedly been a cow to people!! When's your scan?

Thanks for all cycle comments. I'm just seriously hoping I settle down a bit now. I'm not bothered about being regular to within a few days, but I'm not really looking forward to the prospect of another 55 day cycle!!

Gennz I love how optimistic you are every month. I've seen so many bfns over the last few months I don't think I could face any more!! Don't know when I'll pluck up the courage to test this month, if it comes to that anyways!!

Hazel booooo to the confusing OPKs. I was hoping that they would give me some kind of order to it all, but I also have the cheap ones so maybe I'll be in the same boat at some point. Probably best to just dtd from a week or so before ovulation just to cover all angles?!

[Hazelbrowneyes]

I have renewed hope H! I noticed my CM was a bit more fluidy last night, then had some cramps in right side (3 months in a row on the right...is that normal?) which woke me up. This morning my temperature had gone up too. Fingers crossed tonights OPK is a positive one!

[mrsb87]

helen my scan is on friday morning!! I seriously can't wait. Nausea has calmed down loads over the past few days so I think I'm on the up now. Had pizza, chips and salad for tea and it was scrummy! still suffering with heartburn in the evening and my sense of smell is still mad.

Dh isn't too keep on obem, I still make him watch it though!

[mrshjb]

Fingers crossed Hazel! Not sure, I seem to get the pains in my left side only but don't even know if I'm ovulating properly so cant help you there!!

Ooh that's good news Mrsb. Bet you can't wait for your scan. Does it feel like it's come round fast for you?

[mrsb87]

It honestly feels like a lifetime helen! I think if I was at work as normal it would have been a lot quicker, ive been at home nearly 2 months though so its dragged. I'm going back to work next week though and starting back doing a couple of short shifts to start off with for a couple of weekals. Can't wait to get back to normal! !

[mrshjb]

Oh wow yeah that's a long time to be off work feeling rubbish isn't it. Have you got any signs of a bump yet?!

[misskgb]

I don't know how u ladies can tell what pains are related to ov-I never really noticed anything! ! Would be interested to see what thats like! !

Exciting mrsb not at all jealous. .....I just do not feel pg yet, apart from the painful boobs!!

[mrshjb]

Misskgb- it's not that I knew it was, just that it was in that area at the right time and I didn't get it whilst I was on the pill!

It's kinda good to hear you don't have any symptoms because so many people seem to rule themselves out if they don't feel any different!

[mrsb87]

No bump as such but my trousers are definitely getting tighter around the middle which is weird considering I've been so sick.

[weebairn]

hello lovely ladies hope you are doing well - I think of you often.

Over 12 weeks now and scan tomorrow - eek!

I'm on night shifts at the mo and so tired… night shifts and pregnancy do not go. Sickness and tiredness come in waves rather than constantly now, hope they are completely gone soon. I am still in my normal clothes and boobs no bigger but trousers getting a bit tighter - no bump though! mrsb So pleased to hear your awful sickness has finally calmed down. Hope the return to work is ok. You've had such a rough time!

I've never had acupuncture but I do love a massage and have one every few months. And I did have my baby at home though there was no whale music . Didn't watch OBEM last time I was pregnant as wanted to stay positive! Watched absolutely loads postnatally though curled up during night feeds on my laptop and sobbed at every birth, lol.

[Gennz]

Hi ladies! I tested this morning (10 dpo) and there is the faintest shadow of a line - like so faint that you can only see if if you hold the test up to a lamp, and even then it's v v faint. DH is unconvinced and won't get excited til it'sstronger (if it is actually a line and I'm not going mad). Will keep you posted!

[mrsb87]

Sounds promising Gennz! Fingers crossed for you x

[Gennz]

Thanks Mrsb! I have felt quite optimistic this time round, my fingernails are growing insanely fast & are super strong, I've developed a weird aversion to prawns which I usually love and I couldn't finish a glass of wine last night! (VERY out of character).

I guess we will know in a few days. Glad to have you girls to tell, DH took a quick look at the test and said "I can't see anything". Gah! Well I have squinted at a LOT of these things over the last 3 months, given my POAS addiction and I know when I can see something! (Must admit it's verrrry faint, almost imperceptible to the naked eye ... only a seasoned pro could make it out...)

[binkybunny]

Hi all just popping in to say good luck with your scan weebairn and sounding good gennz!

Also loving OBEM since got pregnant!

[mrshjb]

Ooooh Gennz, if anyone knows how a pregnancy test stick looks from every possible angle, light and with a variety of different levels of squinting it's you, so fingers crossed your expert eyes aren't tricking you!!!! When's the next POAS?!

[Gennz]

Tomorrow of course mrsh! As if I could wait any longer!!

[mrshjb]

Haven't quite worked out when your tomorrow is, but I hope it's soon because I'm dying to know!!!!

[mrsb87]

I want to know now gennz!!

[Gennz]

10pm here! i was going to test again but DH has confiscated the tests until tomorrow, damn him!

[mrshjb]

Hahaha that's so funny! Gutted it's so long until morning for you!! Actually can't wait to find out :)

[mrsb87]

gennz thats aaaages away. I guess we will have to wait patiently. I'm the most impatient person in the world...

[weebairn]

12 week scan all fine! No twins thank god!! Chilled out baba waved at me a bit and refused to get in the right position to be measured, so I had to go away, drink more water, and then jump up and down...

My due date is 30 September now, which is my toddler's 2nd birthday, how crazy is that?!
