Aww confused hope everything is ok. Let us know how the scan goes. Hope your nausea passes too Tigger

HbH04 · 19/02/2017 18:29

Oh confused we've all got our fingers crossed that they fall into the 'normal' category x

Totally agree buzz , getting pregnant is such an emotional rollercoaster and then it gets even more crazy once you do! Men have it so easy! Hmm

DancingUnicorn · 19/02/2017 19:01

Confused 💐 sounds dreadful. Really hoping all is ok!

Tigger83 · 19/02/2017 19:21

Oh confused that sounds like a hard day lovely hope you are ok thinking of you x

Seven0fNine · 19/02/2017 19:39

Oh no confused, hope all is OK. Thinking of you! X

Just spent all day looking after my little 15 month old niece - she's so cute! And when you ask her if she likes Donald Trump, she looks at you, frowns and goes "nooooo"!

Wiggleyfingers · 19/02/2017 19:42

Good luck for tomorrow mummy I have everything crossed for you! How many DPO are you? Will you be using a FRER or IC?

Confused what a horrible day for you Flowers hope you get the reassurance you need soon. Be kind to yourself in the mean time. BrewCake

Mummyme87 · 19/02/2017 20:23

Sorry you're having a rough time confused FX for your scan and bloods tomorrow.

wiggley I'll be 10DPO tomorrow and using a FRER. Only thing that's making me feel a bit negative is my boobs seem to feel okay, and the common complaint at this stage is sore boobs.. although I don't remember that from last time until about 8weeks

MrsC2017 · 19/02/2017 21:06

Hi girls having a lovely trip so far just popping in quickly so send hugs to you confused really hope all is ok, hope things have settled this evening, thinking of u xx
parsnips glad things are at least being taken seriously, I hope you can move past it soon, I'm sure it's very hard!
tigger venue hunting novelty def wears off quick, but still exciting, hope u get one soon!
grumpy I feel u on messy DH, mine is the worst!
Hi to everyone else will try to keep peeking in over next few days, and confused I really hope it's all just one of those pregnancy things and nothing more, much love xx

HeyJupiter · 19/02/2017 21:19

Oh confused that's so scary and hard. Hopefully all okay... sending lots of love. We're all here. Really hope it falls into normal category Flowers xx

HeyJupiter · 19/02/2017 21:23

Tigger fingers crossed you find somewhere soon! Enjoy :)

MrsC hope you're having an amazing time!!

Seven your niece is very wise!

We're in a madly posh hotel courtesy of groupon! Way out of our depth!! Mobile phones banned from restaurant so illicitly mumsnetting from the toilets.. DH only man here not in a full on suit. Shit! I'm a bit drunk so that's okay.

Seven0fNine · 19/02/2017 21:48

Haha enjoy Jupiter! Getting drunk is the only way to deal with those type of situations! X

Fingers crossed for you tomorrow morning mummy x

buzzmoon · 19/02/2017 21:54

Haha jupiter just keep drinking! And enjoy!!

buzzmoon · 19/02/2017 21:55

Fingers crossed for the morning mummy

HbH04 · 19/02/2017 21:58

You're hilarious jupiter

HeyJupiter · 19/02/2017 22:11

Mainly just drunk Hb! :)

Good luck mummyme, have everything crossed for you x

TheGrumpySquirrel · 19/02/2017 22:36

Jupiter enjoy! Sounds great!

MrsC hope you are having a lovely holiday!*

Confused* thinking of you Brew

I'm having pelvic twinges .. or imagining pelvic twinges .. nope think they are real.. right side, ouch! boobs still slightly sore but nipples not at all. Last month about a week before AF I had very sore nipples for a good few days.

6dpo tomorrow and I'm living vicariously through mummy 🤞🏼

TheGrumpySquirrel · 19/02/2017 22:40

DD got back from her dads tonight and had a migraine poor thing so I tucked her up in bed and she's snoring away with her cuddly rabbit.. reminds me of her being small and cute.. can't believe she's almost 12 😭 also made me feel all warm and fuzzy about having another small one soon!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 20/02/2017 04:25

Can't sleep, dreamed I flooded a FRER and it read "error 173" and a positive line but clearly not meaningful .. hope yours is +ve this morning mummy

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 20/02/2017 04:55

Morning ladies. Will be thinking of you today confused - hoping all goes well for you.

I've started doing OPKs (not trying yet just want to check Ovia is correct - not that I'm actually letting him shag me just yet!). I can see where the POAS obsession comes from!

Feeling a bit more positive at home. Still annoyed but I'll get there. Going to treat myself to getting hair and nails done this week to cheer myself up. Hope you all have a good Monday! By the time your days get started I'm on my way to Hump Day so can't complain!

buzzmoon · 20/02/2017 07:17

Morning all!
grumpy I couldn't sleep either at all last night, I should have joined you on here. I watched The Meddler on sky yesterday. It was odd but funny- the girl in it poas and was super happy she got 2 bfp, went to the docs and she wasn't pregnant, turned out she was peeing on ovulation sticks. Sounds like something I would do!

parsnips I might join you on that- I'll start tomorrow. How are you feeling today?

Fingers crossed for you mummy and confused

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 20/02/2017 07:32

I feel better buzz. I'm trying not to dwell on it. It is still niggling at me a bit but that's sort of how my mind works.

Anyway - which OPKs are you going to use buzz? I just have some cheapo wilko ones which I'll try this month and if they're not great then I might switch to Clear blue or first response. I mostly want to see if Ovia's predictions are correct. She got my AF date within 1 day last month - so far so good.

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 20/02/2017 07:33

Also I can imagine that BFP moment would be quite funny in a comedy but would be a nightmare in real life! You'd be gutted!!

buzzmoon · 20/02/2017 07:37

I got some IC when I bought my thermometer off amazon- will see how I get on with them. Interested to hear how the wilko ones are!
I'm the same, not sure if I trust Ovia just yet. I was doing so well at BBT too, but have been rubbish the past week so this months been a write off oops!

Mummyme87 · 20/02/2017 07:49

So I got a BFN on my FRER today at 10DPO. Will try again on Wednesday.

I actually did poas thinking it was a pregnancy test but I had picked up the OPK instead.. this was in my first cycle. I realised after about 5mins. I was gutted!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 20/02/2017 08:01

Sorry to hear about the BFN mummy ! Better luck Wednesday 🤞🏼

Felt sick on the tube but may be just lack of sleep. I'm testing Friday!
