kayzisbroody · 05/03/2008 20:00

Night LL,

Blooming MIL's!!

Teuch · 05/03/2008 20:28

Kay that is shocking!! Glad home safe though

Disenchanted - your pics on the other thread looks (to me) like a negative following a positive IYSWIM. My OPK the morning after my +ve looked dark like this but not as dark as control line. I think you had OV'd (or at least surged!) earlier, but without having tested for a while it is impossible to know how long the surge lasted.

I have everything crossed that you get some clarity (hopefully in the form of a BFP!) very soon.

For the record, I don't think you are overly stressed about it - just the right level of obsessed, which I think is the motivating factor behind learning how our bodies work!!

Disenchanted · 05/03/2008 20:33

Teuch

Hi

So you think its negative but would have been positive the day before?

Sorry to mither (lol)

but if that was the case and i had OV'd CD13 instead then would BDing CD 14 & 15 as I did, be OK? I mean could I get pregnant BDing 1 & 2 days after OVing?

I like being a bit obbsessed TBH! lol.

kayzisbroody · 06/03/2008 06:46

Good Morning!!

Ds decided to wake up at 5 and sing to us. Dh has gone to work and I cant get back to sleep. To top it all of ds has gone back to sleep!!!
Yay!!

Diege · 06/03/2008 06:53

Morning Kay Early start here too, as dh works away Thursdays/Fridays, so trying to deal with 3 voices demanding different things at once while trying to get myself a cup of tea! How are you feeling this morning, symptoms-wise? Right,the voices are calling me!

kayzisbroody · 06/03/2008 07:00

I feel ok this morning. Dont feel sick, just very tired.

Diege · 06/03/2008 07:07

I'm not surprised with a 5 am start!
I really hate thurs/frinmornings without dh to get dd3 up 5.45ish (that's the deal, as I get up during the night if needed). Of course at the weekends he then goes back to bed for 2/3 hours .
World Book Hell Day today, so dds have to dress up as their fave character. Great in principle, but we have to roll out the same of costumes every year (Snow White, Dalmation dog) that bear no resemblance to the books they love!

kayzisbroody · 06/03/2008 07:12

We never had to dress up when we were at school. Thank God!!
We just got a voucher and during our break we had to go and get a book.

I am gonna have a very tired few days. Dh is at work at 5 tomorrow morning and then a 4 o'clock start on Saturday.

Diege · 06/03/2008 07:14

Oh and my posh supplements arrived last night!! Have sent dh off a with the correct no. but see he's already forgotten to take the first tablet I left out . And you should see the size of them!! Like horse pills...will really struggle to swallow them!
Hope things turned out OK with ds Nat - v.scary! TBH, I read your most recent posting first and though you were talking about your af at first .
Disenchanted - hoping you get an answer soon, though you have certaintly come to the right place here
Right, I'm going to try my first pill!

kayzisbroody · 06/03/2008 07:16

My mumomega tablets are huge. Im not to keen on taking tablets.

Diege · 06/03/2008 07:23

That's reminded me, I need to get some of those mumomegas. They say on the Zita West website that you need to build up reserves . Sure it's a marketing ploy, but still..
Oh yes Kay (how could I have forgotton!!). I spoke to Cieran yesterday on his mobile and he's more than happy to do an autograph. He'll try and sign a copy of his new book for you, but failing that will send a signed photo. I thought a signed babygrow would be a good idea, but for some strange reason he wasn't too keen on that one

NatalieJane · 06/03/2008 07:34

Helloooooooooooooo

Kay, I want words with you young lady.... Pooter decided to have a funny'un last night so I had to switch it off, didn't see that DS had gotten home safe and sound, then went on to have a dream that he didn't come home safe and sound, but it was MY MIL that had him, along with her ex- (but oh sweetly loved, by her ) FIANCE, who just happened to be a convicted child sex offender, but hey, what does raping two of his foster kids have to do with whether or not we let him see our son? Afterall, she had already invited the sick bastard into our home, oh and let DS go to the toilet with him in a restaurant, when she knew what he'd done, and we didn't. Good call!

Oooooo sorry, went off on one there didn't mean to, I am telling Kay off for not sky writing that her DS was home! LOL

Honestly, I should ban myself from ever writing MIL, it never ever turns out pretty.....

Anyway......... DS2's nose has calmed down, we are going to take him to GP's this afternoon, DS1 had a nightmare about getting run over, wonder where that came from? I wouldn't mind but at the time the car was about to run over his foot, DS was so far into a world of his own he didn't even realise anything was happening till the driver yelled at me! So between checking DS2 every time he made he noise, calming DS1 down after his dream, and then having that dream myself, I think I got about an hour all in all!

Diege · 06/03/2008 07:41

OMG what a night Nat! I can see why MIL chat isn't your favourite topic . Try and take it easy today - strictly no housework!.
Oh and a tip for arsey drivers. Make sure you bang really hard on their precious cars with your fist. They go crazy! Dh does it when they try and cut him up on his bike to get 2 cm further along the road - not good when he has dds on the back. He usually gets 'don't touch the car!!' (oh, so it's OK to touch my child with your car...???). Ooh you've started me off again!

calsworld · 06/03/2008 07:49

Morning all! Goodness, you're an early bunch...I was with you in mind...

Tummy has still not settled, woken up by awful pains at 4 this morning and spent the next hour running back and forth to loo. Just had another 'episode' at about 7.30 and didn't get to say goodbye to DS before DH took him to nursery.

I've got a doctor's appt this afternoon so hopefully he will confirm my suspicions that I just missed a period due to illness and I can take a diareze and it will all stop. Trouble is, my sick note runs out today and I'm really not sure I'm fit to go in to work tomorrow, but its been three weeks! I've NEVER been off work with sickness for so long before and it doesn't feel good.

I get some blood test results back in the appt too, hopefully some clarity - main test is for glandular fever. But if its negative then I don't know what happens next. I guess I look like a big fraud.

Anyhoo, enough whinging, mega grrr's at MIL for you NJ and K - I'd have been going up the wall in those situations! Fortunately, the only issues I have with MIL is that she spoils DS and ignores what I tell her - on the basis that DH turned out alright Not convinced that she fed DH on biscuits but there we go. Trivial by comparison to your outlaws.

I didn't take mumomega till I was well into my pregnancy and found it had a huge benefit, so if its a benefit big enough to notice its probably worth taking in advance. Having said that, I won't be taking it until I get a BFP.

I think someone said about taking omega oils instead of mumomega - you have to check quite carefully which ones you take coz normal omega supplements are from cod liver and therefore contain Vit A. That's why mumomega charge more, coz they are specially for pregnancy and vit A free.

NJ - does your DS2 talk at all yet?

NatalieJane · 06/03/2008 08:10

Would love to do no housework, but house looks like we've had a very drunken party, today will be mostly housework!

Cal, sorry about your tummy, hopefully doctor will be able to do something. MIL is in the firing range for so much more than having a pervert for an ex-fiance, but I am not going into it all here! I don't think I'd stop !

DS2 will say a few things, Hiya, nightnight, daddad, mama, bubba (for DS1, we think he is trying to say brother rather than DS1's name) he does that tut tut tut sound that people do to cat, although he will say cat if the fancy take him, car, sort of saying socks and shoes, yes and no (no is his favourite at the moment )

Bloody hell don't know what happened then, I didn't even press 'send' and it sent it twice....

He will also say a lot of things that don't really sound like words but we know what he means, like he'll do a uh uh uh noise for his drink, and ahhhhhh if he wants a cuddle, etc.

Right I must get DS1's lunch done, I am all back to front this morning, normally lunch is done first then I get ready, but I am ready already today.

OP posts:
calsworld · 06/03/2008 08:32

I only asked coz DS (15 months) isn't really saying anything at all, everything is 'da' except the dog, who is da-da (susie). I've found a thread on development and posted on there so hopefully will get some reassurance from there. I know boys are generally slower its just that I see so many kids at nursery saying stuff of a similar age or younger and I wonder if I should worry. He's always been quite placid and very quiet so maybe I shouldn't be surprised?

What's everyone doing today? Got anything exciting planned? Is anyone about to keep me company?

NatalieJane · 06/03/2008 08:44

I think they all do things at their own pace, DS2 might say more than your DS, but he can't walk on his own yet! It'll happen, and then you won't be able to shut him up!!

OP posts:
MoosMa · 06/03/2008 09:40

Morning all.

Sorry to hear you're still not well cal, hopefully the doc will sort you out later Is your DS walking yet? I've noticed a lot that early walkers tend to be late talkers and vice versa. I think they concentrate on one thing at once (much like DHs!).

Speaking of DHs, we ticked one thing off our list last night, only 28 to go now!

And after all my worrying about DD1 liking preschool, she woke up this morning and asked if she was going again, then looked very disappointed when I said yes, but not till next week.

NatalieJane · 06/03/2008 09:48

Morning Moosma

Have told you before, we need details woman!!! Especially those of us that aren't getting any at the moment!!

I think you are right about either talking or walking, I know with two of my nephews, both walked at 8/9 months, but by 15 months weren't saying a single thing, not even mama/dada. I worried about DS1 when he didn't walk till 14 months, and we'd said if he wasn't walking by the time he got to 15 months we'd take him to doctors, but with DS2, he can stand up with out holding on, he can walk quite well either holding a hand or holding his walker thingy, so I'm not worried. If he got to say 18 months and still wasn't walking on his own then I might start getting the GP involved, but we have a while yet!

OP posts:
calsworld · 06/03/2008 09:56

Oh - am surprised about walking, coz I thought walking at 15 months was late, but apparently not? He learnt to crawl (well, commando wriggle but got where he wanted to go) at five months - crawls ridiculously fast and started walking independently about 2 weeks ago - he's now trying to run!

I thought it was late coz other kids much younger than him at nursery have been walking well for some time now, he's one of the last ones of his 'generation' to go down to toddlers and he's surrounded by little babies.

WHen I picked him up yesterday, they said he'd been very sensitive all day, not liking it if other kids got too close and trying to take other kids toys away from them, throwing things, hitting children....I said, "poor James, clearly he's still feeling a bit under the weather, did you give him lots of cuddles?" - blank faces all round . So my poor little DS had been ignored because he was grumpy - if he was always grumpy I could understand it but he's usually the chirpiest one there - giggling and being funny, making the other babies laugh etc. Surely with him being there 7.30 to 5.30 five days a week for the last 6 months you'd think they'd know him better?

To make it worse, when I picked him up I could smell he had a dirty nappy too and it was 'loose', he obviously was feeling v poorly.

Moosma - glad your DD liked school and about being disappointed to not go back till next week. I bet she had loads of fun!

calsworld · 06/03/2008 09:58

Cute moment - sat him down to put his shoes on this morning and whilst I was doing one, he was trying to wedge the other on my big toe!
