Soph73 - sorry about AF hope next month is your lucky one. Cd1 should be the first day of proper flow The Spanish birth stories I've heard include vertical C sections! pushing down on your bump during delivery, induction for everyone who goes beyond X hours of labour and compulsory stirrups! if we are very lucky and this beanie sticks, I'll be having this baby here in Scotland as we'll move at the end of Jan now getting wayyyyy ahead of myself now. Also - think it will be due on DFILs birthday he'll be so happy if it happens (first grandchild and he's 74)

Congratulations MrsMcJnr! I know you've had a rough time recently, and you are sooo supportive of everyone despite all the difficulties you have had. I am really pleased for you. Take good care of yourself.

meto · 10/05/2007 19:05

((hugs)) wheely sorry about BFN chick - we'll get there together i'm sure of it.

mrsJ - ah I had such a god feeling about you big congrats honney - and you're more than welcome to stop about.

mcd - know that feeling, DH's boss keeps sending him away at the crucial times (esp this coming month) just cos his boss can't have children doesn't mean we don't want to! lol.

hope everyone else is ok. sorry to those who had AF turn up.

ooh and which grays anatomy did I miss last night - don't forget finale seires 2 on sunday - IT IS EXPLOSIVE. and series 3 is just as good

PinkElephant · 10/05/2007 19:44

Oh MrsMcJr - congrats!!! what did I tell you about it happening for you next?! We can be terrified together....

flosspot · 10/05/2007 20:28

Gosh and by-golly, MrsMcJ, great news! Should we all rub your tummy or something to bring us luck?

plummymummy · 10/05/2007 23:57

so how many positives have we had on this thread? Catching up with April methinks

meto · 11/05/2007 07:49

well i'm out of the running, af came today prob won't get anywhere next month either as DH is away from CD11-CD15. so unless I ov late again at 18 he'll miss the whole window why do I botehr when his bloody work won't co-operate

lissielou · 11/05/2007 07:53

oh crap. get him to pull a sickie

see you on june tho hun!

meto · 11/05/2007 07:53

is only it was that simple, he's forces and on exercise for the week - althou depending on where they move to I wonder if he'd be able to pop home for a quicky

lissielou · 11/05/2007 07:55

thats pants! why is fate such a cow?!

meto · 11/05/2007 07:56

I have no idea - all I can sumise is when we're ment to have a second we will do and have faith in that, althou tbh i'd dearly love twins - I know madness but I really would.

lissielou · 11/05/2007 08:00

lol, pre-ds me too! now one more will be enough thank you!

do you have any lo's?

meto · 11/05/2007 08:06

yes one DS who's 14.5 months going on 14.5 years! lol. he's the light of my life most of the time. took us a while to concieve him, but eventually he was born on his grandads birthday (3 weeks early form my AF dates iycwim)

all's DH could say at 11.50pm was 'don't push yet if you have him in 10 mins he'll be born on dad's birthday' by which time I was screaming get his child out of me!!! I don't give a monkeys arse about your dad's birthday

lissielou · 11/05/2007 08:09

lol, men!

plummymummy · 11/05/2007 08:57

Sorry about your period meto. I did what I was told not to do - did a sensitive test. Well actually I did 3. Got two lines but very very faint. Could be evaporation lines. Will buy a first response or clear blue later and test again on sunday. Ooh I am sooo impatient.

lissielou · 11/05/2007 09:01

did you get lines on all 3? were they grey? and when is af due?

plummymummy · 11/05/2007 09:05

They were pinky grey and yes on all three. Period due tuesday.

lissielou · 11/05/2007 09:07

did they come up straight away?

plummymummy · 11/05/2007 09:15

Pretty much but with those tests the line is covered by the moisture evaporating iyswim, but i could see the line underneath and also underneath the paper between the card and the top layer. I would love to be excited but I am dubious about these tests as a few posters have said they've had sort of false positives with them. Do you think I should try a clear blue or first response? I saved the wee

Soph73 · 11/05/2007 09:17

Morning all!

MrsMcJ - vertical c-sections Have met lots of people here who´ve had c-sections and they definately were not vertical! Also have a friend who had here baby here naturally and they definately did not push on her bump but stirrups are compulsory (I think!) However, also had a friend that did as she liked because she screamed until they let her (that was 10 years ago though). However, you´ll be OK if you´re having baby in Scotland and it really isn´t as bad as it sounds over here.

Meto - sorry to hear about DH being away, I´ll keep my fingers crossed that he can nip home for a quickie

Plummymummy - ooo so excited for you sending huge positive vibes your way.

tigerschick · 11/05/2007 09:19

is af due next tuesday or last Plummy? I know clear blue says you can test up to 4 days early but only 50% get a correct result then. If you can bear to, I'd wait until your af is actually due...it's cheaper if nothing else. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Not sure about using the same wee, it might be 'contaminated' somehow now - tho I'm no expert!

Hi All.

plummymummy · 11/05/2007 09:21

Morning Soph - and thank you but I am dubious. I have been feeling odd but it could just be horrendous PMS. I have been getting awful bloating and breast tenderness last couple of months about a week before my period.

plummymummy · 11/05/2007 09:24

Period due next tuesday (for a 24 day cycle). I should wait til then and test with a proper test but the problem is that I have these cheap ones in my toilet so I will probably keep testing and scrutinizing to see if the line gets more red!
