Pear, you're next Flowers Wink

ispyfispi · 27/07/2015 22:20

We definitely need a graduation list now, I'm totally losing track!

AvaAmulet · 27/07/2015 22:21

Maybe on a different thread though, iSpy?x

DougalTheCheshireCat · 27/07/2015 22:30

Ava you have cheered me right up with your good news. Flowers all around, those with BFPs and those of us keeping the faith.

Night night

AvaAmulet · 27/07/2015 22:32

Thanks Dougal, night night x

Trinpy · 27/07/2015 23:13

Yay Ava I'm so so so happy for you. April is a lovely month to have a baby Smile. I hope you have an amazing and uneventful pregnancy!

pear - I reckon you're next Wink.

MinisMama13 · 27/07/2015 23:14

Oh my effing g! I go out for the evening and miss everything!

Huge congratulations Ava! Amazing news! And proof you can become pregnant while bf! That's a super strong line!
Oh and I peed on ov sticks the day before I got my bfp with ds but it was a faint line I got so I reckon you ov'd earlier than you thought!
It was probably me who was told I should relax but the relaxed approach has not got us preggo!

Pear I'm not relaxed at all this cycle so we can 2ww obsess together! Oh and randomly I had more cramps today. So that's Saturday and today. Random!

I'm totally rubbish and I can't remember anything else, sorry ladies! Dtd again tonight but I think that's it now!

Oh mini. Tg I have someone to obsess with! DH is driving me bonkers!! He came up at 11pm again. TG this is my last dangling legs session. I have some weird pain in my left side that I'm quite concerned about now. Dtd was not comfortable at all Hmm It could have something to do with dtd 4 nights in a row. I think even my body is saying STOP! Roll on dpo 1 tomorrow!!

Mini you're more hardcore then me Wink I'm stopping at number 9 on peak day 2. Literally don't think DH of myself could cope with one more session of fun Shock

AvaAmulet · 27/07/2015 23:44

Thanks Mini, yes it was you! Haha! And yes, I did hold onto the belief that ecological breastfeeding would work out for us if it was meant to be, and we would hopefully get our bfp when DD was 2yrs 3months to give us the 'ideal' natural child-spacing 3 year age gap. And lo and behold, DD is 2years 3months today Grin

DD was born in April - it is a lovely month Grin

Don't think I'll be able to switch off my brain and go to sleep for a while yet Hmm

AvaAmulet · 27/07/2015 23:45

Good luck Mini and Pear x

Pear, I'm crossing everything that you'll be due in April too x

peardrop2 · 27/07/2015 23:48

Ava I thought DD was born in May? Why did I get that wrong?! Hmm. Thank you...good luck with the next few weeks. I know the wait for the scan is just as hard (and scary).

OP posts:
AvaAmulet · 27/07/2015 23:52

She's the same star sign as you, and her EDD was 10th May, but she was actually born 2 weeks early Wink

ispyfispi · 27/07/2015 23:55

Ah hope you get some sleep Ava, it's just so exciting though!
Dangly legs here too but just the beginning for me. First flashing smiley today and if last month is anything so go by we have many more days before I get a fixed Confused anything less than 17 would be good!

AvaAmulet · 27/07/2015 23:56

God, I was moving furniture yesterday Hmm

AvaAmulet · 27/07/2015 23:58

Good luck to you too iSpy! Smile

Think it might take a couple of weeks to feel real, then I'll book an appointment to see my GP, fx x

Do you actually have to see a gp? I thought you'd just go straight to the midwife no? Have I forgotten everything lol

OP posts:
AvaAmulet · 28/07/2015 00:02

I saw my GP first last time, is it different when it's your second DC? Also, I had several different midwives last time Confused

AvaAmulet · 28/07/2015 00:15

Right, I'm going to try to switch off now Hmm

Thank you everyone Grin it is thanks to you that I tested tonight Flowers x

AvaAmulet · 28/07/2015 03:33

Haven't.....slept....a....wink.... Shock Blush

Aufwiedersehenpetrarch · 28/07/2015 05:35

ava well done! I'm so pleased for you! Really really! We'll be having almost-thread-twins too as my edd will be 1 April! Woo-oooo-ooo! I of course knew you would be pregnant all along
pear you'd better make this month count so us oldies can all be outa here before the end of this thread! It's just got to be lucky!

Leamice · 28/07/2015 06:14

Yay!!!! Congratulations Ava!! What a lovely bfp. So happy for you and great it happened on your month off.

Who's testing next on this lucky thread? Pear must be your turn to celebrate soon.

waxweasel · 28/07/2015 06:45

Don't worry about it not being a relaxed month pear - ours certainly wasn't. Lots of scheduled, unromantic, functional sex which was immediately logged in my app Smile

On the GP/midwife thing - I thought the same, but when I phoned and asked for a referral to the midwives at our practice the very terse receptionist told me you always have to see a gp first. I dont remember the gp doing much though!
