Why would we hate you Babylove for using your private medical insurance?? You should do whatever you need to do to put your mind at ease! I hope you get some answers soon, and if that means a private consultation or two, then more power to you!! Fingers crossed for you flower!!

Hey Geek and Rudolph,

Thanks for that. Some ppl get funny about the private insurance thing, think im "too good for NHS" but thats not true. Im going to ask either for the blood test or even better, an ultrasound. That way then i can completely dispell the whole "pregnancy" thing and move forward. Its just whilst im in limbo that i cant cope. I mean when you're late, its like "oooh im pregnant" 17 days on, its getting a bit silly. It probably is just a missed period but the symptoms i've had and that fact that i had mini cramps and they've gone with no af makes me wonder. I just wanna know for sure whether i am pg or not, then i can move on to next month

Got myself so worked up that i text my sis last nite and told her everything. Was so worried she'd kill me but she infact was great! I shocked her of course but she was really good. Now just wishing i had someone i cld take with me 2 docs 2morro (must think strong thoughts!)

RudolphsREADY · 19/12/2006 18:54

No one should think "she's too good for the NHS" that would be ridiculous!!!! If people have the provisions for private healthcare, that is fantastic surely!!?? Who in their right mind could argue against it??? It is one less person on the list having to wait for medical assistance in an already overwhelmed health service is it not?? Go for it!! And don't feel bad about it! And if anyone makes a negative comment, send them to see me All the best babylove!

thanks rudolph! Will let them know they're answerable to you!!!!

ladybug007 · 19/12/2006 23:40

Agree with Rudolphsready - whatever makes you happy is good. You're going through a weird time and you need support.

whoopsfallenoffthexmastree · 20/12/2006 06:26

Good luck at the docs today babylove!
Well I've been naughty and tested! I did one last night which I'm sure there was a faint pos but just done one this morning and it was bfn!
Someone chop my hands off so I don;t do another for at least a week!

MrsMcClaus · 20/12/2006 08:40

Morning ladies Nipped in for 10 mins and will try and catch up but if I don't manage, hello to you all and I have been thinking about you. Not sure if I have OVd yet, think I might have on Monday but my temp is low today but then again, I have a cold. BDed twice on Sunday and once on Monday so not great efforts but think I'm still in with a chance. Speak properly soon xx

MrsMcClaus · 20/12/2006 08:47

Babylove, poor you, sending huge hugs, go and make use of that benefit is what I say

XmassyCharlotte - I know exactly how you feel and many of us have been there. We'll try our best to keep you sane on the TTC rollercoaster.

Hello KitKat - hope the old bag stays away. Hello to Greedy and Ready and Sparkly and Geek and anyone I might have missed out - are you ou there Impatience? how are you?

DH is fine, getting better and job is good but very busy and I just daren't log in from there so am in an internet cafe before I go in.

Had a few mulled wines last night and when I came in DH told me a close friend was pregnant, I was and happy all at once. I saw her on Sunday and you could just tell! She's due in June..... I want my bundle of joy!!

I have to be in London on buisness over the vital week in Jan so hope we crack it this cycle!!

honeyapple · 20/12/2006 09:30

Hi guys,
Congrates to the BFPs! and to AFs.xx
I've been away this weekend at Disneyland which was fantastic... would advise to never go on a sunday though as SOOOO busy. On Monday the park was almost empty! So we didnt have to queue very long for anything. It was freezing and very Christmassy. Kids loved it. Feeling very festive and happy today, despite only 5 days till AF due.
(Dont want to be symptom spotting but my boobs have got bigger!! Is this just pre-AF?? I dunno!)

sparklytreeangel · 20/12/2006 09:37

It's my birthday today

I hope everyone is happy today Fingers crossed for more Dec BFPs

MadameBRANDYBUTTERfly · 20/12/2006 09:38

RudolphsREADY · 20/12/2006 09:53

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Dear Sparkly, Happy Birthday tooooooooooo yooooooooooou Have a wonderful day!!

Honeyapple - Fingers crossed your (o)(o) are a good sign!!

Whoops - The ClearBlueFairy told me to tell you off for testing!!! But sorry it was a BFN, it doesn't mean it's over though!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPARKLY! I Hope you have got the best birthday present ever growing inside your tummy as you read this!
how old are you then??????

good luck babylove with the docs today. all seems a bit weird to me, i think if you dont get the news you are hoping for you should join us on the chart spotting thread, cos it gives you a much clearer idea of what is going on when you do a chart. hopefully you wont need to though!

greedyformincepies · 20/12/2006 11:48

hello everyone else! i love you all!

greedyformincepies · 20/12/2006 11:58

ready and mrs and any other lost fans (stop reading now twix!) - how sexy was sawyer this week? only saw it last night cos i sky +d it, but wow! him and kate got me in the mood for a shag!

RudolphsREADY · 20/12/2006 12:34

Greedy!!!!!! OMG! I know, I was swooning!! I cannot believe that it is stopping until Feb now !! My instant gratification issues have resurfaced once again. It is just plain RUDE if you ask me . They shouldn't have started what they couldn't finish . I'm fine about it really ... Still, not long to go until new 24!! Although Keifer was looking scruffy in the trailer with a big ol' beard!!

XmassyCharlotte · 20/12/2006 13:01

Happy Birthday Sparkly!!
It's a beautiful sunny day in London; a great day to have a birthday on.
Have fun, and as greedy says, hope you get a BFP birthday pressie later this month!

sparklytreeangel · 20/12/2006 14:21

Thanks everyone. 31 today Greedy
Yes it would be a good present implantation on your birthday, but I have lots to be happy for so its a month to have fun

Happy birthday Sparkly from another East London girl!

babylove123 · 20/12/2006 17:36

hey ladybug, thanks for your words?

Whoops, it went crap! Well i went to the docs, what a waste of bloody time! He wouldnt help me @ all! Said if my period doesnt show up on 2nd Jan, go back and they'll see. I was so upset this morn. He even said "well it doesnt really make a diff if you are or arent pg, just treat everything as if you were". Um, it affects me a lot.....i wanna know if im gonna be a mum! I wanna know if my 5 months of ttc has actually worked! Bastard!

Sorry breathes deeply, im just very annoyed.

thanks Mrsclaus for your comments.

Rudolphs - i love your diagram!

Happy birthday Sparkly!!!!!

Greedy, gonna check that thread out, thanks

Merry, merry Christmas to you too!

whoopsfallenoffthexmastree · 20/12/2006 19:29

Happy Birthday Sparkly

Babylove - Sorry it didn't go well at the doctors.

I think I am getting ready for af to appear - I am getting lower back ache & feeling a bit nauseous (sp?!) and exactly the same happened last month so I think I was seeing things last night

I'm not going to test unless af hasn't appeared by new year!

greedyformincepies · 20/12/2006 19:53

had a pooey afternoon, and i am AGAIN having doubts as to whether i could actually cope with another child! had to call the ambulance out to my ds this afternoon and i am not good in emergencies, so dont think i could cope with 3 kids all getting sick together! oh well, paramedics said all his vitals were ok, but to keep a close eye on him, so i am expecting NO sleep tonight cos i will be worrying too much.

babylove, sorry about your wasted trip.
whoops, when is af due?
sparkly.....happy birthday again old girl!

MrsMcClaus · 20/12/2006 19:54

Happy birthday Sparkly!!

Welcome back Honeyapple

Sorry the Dr was not helpful Babylove, makes me so cross, TTC is so emotive as it is

Greedy - Sawyer, oh yes, boy was he HOT this week

Back later!

whoopsfallenoffthexmastree · 20/12/2006 20:04

Greedy - sorry to hear about your day hope ds is ok - very scary having to call ambulance though

Af is due between the 25th & 28th not entirely sure about the cycle as only had 2 af since having the coil out!
