Is it me or does number 2 seem to take longer to conceive?

@crazychemist my DH was like that over Christmas. It really knocked me Sad he was under a lot of stress with work too and to be fair we had just moved house. It's hard isn't it

Chips4dinneragain · 16/05/2019 17:15

I imagine it's going to feel like a long night nespresso! I will be very impressed if you manage to hold off telling your DH Until Tuesday, this time I didn't tell DH the night I got a positive on an IC but I rang him the next day when I got a positive frer and that was 10 days before AF was due!

nespressowoo · 16/05/2019 17:18

10 days!!! 😱 that is amazing! I bet it felt like an age til the 12 week scan. I am going to ask for an early reassurance one due to MC last year.

I will at least wait til Sunday as he's out on the razz with friends Saturday and I don't want him blabbing 😂

I'm googling loads. I need to stop.

Chips4dinneragain · 16/05/2019 17:51

I'm still waiting, haven't even had my booking in appointment yet but feels like I've been pregnant forever even though I'm o LH 9wks! Sorry to hear about your MC, an early scan sounds sensible to put your mind at rest, I had early scans with DD and its so reassuring.

sassenach84 · 16/05/2019 18:20

@nespressowoo woohoo this is so exciting! It's a lucky thread we've got going. I didn't tell DH for two days as wanted the line to get darker and to get a different test. I also needed to digest it myself first. In the end just texted him at work and he was like ok cool! But everyone is different Grin

Remind us, how old is your DC?

nespressowoo · 16/05/2019 18:59

Ahh thanks @sassenach84 😁

My DH guessed I was preggers the moment he got in from work as I had a big smile Grin😂

My DS is 2 1/2 - he's a handful at the moment

Chips4dinneragain · 17/05/2019 14:57

How'd you get on with the FRER nespresso?

nespressowoo · 17/05/2019 15:01

Still waiting for it 😫 on the day I want the Amazon man to come early he's bloody late! Prime is nearly always before lunch here.

Chips4dinneragain · 17/05/2019 15:15

Torture!

nespressowoo · 17/05/2019 16:42

GrinGrinGrin I cant quite believe it! I've had some spotting when wiping so I'm hoping it sticks this time! I'm so happy

Chips4dinneragain · 17/05/2019 17:09

Oh that is absolutely great nespresso! Obviously an anxious time but I really don't think brown spotting is anything to worry about, seems like it's just the implantation blood slowly working its way out.

crazychemist · 17/05/2019 17:26

Wooooooo, congrats @nespresso! Did you rip the box out of amazon man’s hands when he finally turned up Grin? Hope your DH is spoiling you.

nespressowoo · 17/05/2019 17:54

Thank you, both.

You wouldn't bloody believe it, but DS and I had just got in from walking to the shop to get some kidney beans and my flipping key snapped in the lock and the bloke turned up. Had to call my ILs who came to the rescue. FIL asked what was in the package Blush I said 'oh just some bits for DS!'

crazychemist · 17/05/2019 17:56

Feeling totally shit again today. Trying to find a new preschool for DD, but it’s hard not knowing where DH will be working (assuming he is!). Everywhere near us has a waiting list, the one that we would prefer is booked up for the next two years at least. So it’s all rather bollocks. If I’d seen this coming at all I would have started looking sooner. I’d be cross if I wasn’t so bloody depressed by the whole thing. I think this will be the first month when I’ll actually be glad to get AF as being pregnant would make everything even more complicated. Shit.

MummyBearBoo · 17/05/2019 18:49

@Chips4dinneragain -my Drs told me you usually need to be booked in before 10 weeks so the hospital have your results for your 12 week scan?
@crazychemist -hope your DH finds a job soon and you still get DD into a nice pre-school!
@nespressowoo -congratulations xx

nespressowoo · 17/05/2019 18:55

@crazychemist I know how you feel about preschool. It is so stressful. We didn't know where we were moving to and trying to decide which preschool was bonkers. Hope things improve for you soon x

Thanks @MummyBearBoo x

Chips4dinneragain · 17/05/2019 19:28

Oh really mummybear? Guess I'd better ring the midwives on mon and see what's happening!

Not surprised you're feeling down chemist what a shitty thing to happen. it really sounds like your DH has been treated appallingly if they have used a technicality to get rid of him for a reason unrelated to his performance.

Ballygowenwater · 19/05/2019 00:14

So I’m 3 days late but tests showing negative. Stuck in limbo now waiting for next cycle

nespressowoo · 19/05/2019 04:06

@Ballygowenwater there's still hope. My friend didn't get a positive test until she was a week late x

saltandvinegar1 · 19/05/2019 12:55

Hey everyone
Hope you're well
I took a break from netmums last couple weeks!
I was stressing about everything too much. Just got some news to share now. I got my bfp last Friday xxx

saltandvinegar1 · 19/05/2019 12:55

Oh also I'm GOLDENDUST! I changed my name too 🤣

nespressowoo · 19/05/2019 15:46

Congratulations @saltandvinegar1! Seems to be a lucky thread here!

I know I shouldn't waste my money, but I couldn't help it! It's just seeing the word 'pregnant' that means so much to me.

Chips4dinneragain · 19/05/2019 15:49

Congrats saltandvinegar that's great news.

Ahhh nespresso so lovely to see those words. I never did a digi, couldn't justify it after buying a million FRERs during my obsessive line checking phase!

bally how frustrating, are you usually really regular?

saltandvinegar1 · 19/05/2019 17:27

Thank you

@nespressowoo congratulations to you too! I did the same. When did you get your bfp and how many dpo were you.

Ballygowenwater · 19/05/2019 17:54

Congratulations Salt N Pepper- hope all the Pregnancies are going well, keep us updated back here! I imagine you’re gravitating more towards the antenatal groups now 😀

@chips4dinneragain yes quite, always between 28 and 30 Days. On day 33 now 🤷‍♀️
