'said' The bloody 'S' key isn't working properly.

Moosma · 09/05/2008 15:20

Kay (and anybody else who is pg and has hayfever) you can take Acrivastine (Benedryl) and also use a Mometasone Furoate nasal spray. I suffer badly with it and have been prescribed both these things. Eye drops are fine too

Smear was fine t'other day, hurt a bit at the time but not too bad I have to wait 3-4 weeks for the results but I have no 'extra' reason to worry so shall not fret. The sunburn I got the same day hurt more

Hi all will pop back and catch up with the day but just wanted to say

DD and I have had a lovely day and now I feel that it is Pimms o clock. Going to go out and purchase some later...

kayzisexpecting · 09/05/2008 16:38

Just rang the GP and I cant have anything other than paracetamol before 12 weeks. So I have to drink hot lemon and honey and inhale steam.

lardylumps · 09/05/2008 17:55

oh kay so sorry.

Where is everyone it is so quiet today.

kayzisexpecting · 09/05/2008 18:00

I don't know. Its so spooky!

Its because Nat isn't here.

lardylumps · 09/05/2008 18:15

are you calling nat a chatterbox

Squack · 09/05/2008 18:18

yoohoo girls. Back from work, still no bleeding, bit crampy, tested with ebay cheepee and it's -ve.

hum...more waiting

kayzisexpecting · 09/05/2008 18:20

Yes LL, I am!!

Sorry about bfn Squack!

glaskham · 09/05/2008 18:20

ok, so 12 days till i test....friends are bouncing off the walls with exitement....what sort of symptoms can i look out for in the next 2 weeks??.... my breasts are sensitive just before AF anyway, and i ALWAYS need the loo...so cant really go off any of those...and haven't got a clue how to go about temping...

glaskham · 09/05/2008 18:22

sorry to hear about your -ive squack....

lardylumps · 09/05/2008 18:28

Squack so sorry about BFN. But it aint over till the AF sings..

Glaskham I am a bit dubious about early symptoms as I believe we invent them in our heads. I am afraid the most reliable way is to wait and see. However I only have one child and so have limited experiance to go on...

glaskham · 09/05/2008 18:34

Well i am too...i keep thinking i'm making up things in my head and trying to think it's signs i'm pregnant!! haha!! I dont think i'll last the full 12 days!! My friend is already asking if i'm getting 'symptoms' so i haven't told her in case she gets her hopes up too much and its all in my head!!

lardylumps · 09/05/2008 18:36

Oh I hate the 2WW and it must be worse for your friend as it is not her body!!!!!! I am inventing symptoms now and I can not be pg this month (well could be but would be a fluke).

kayzisexpecting · 09/05/2008 19:20

I agree with LL, it must be so hard for your friend. I think what you are doing is amazing!!

Diege · 09/05/2008 20:52

Hello! Bummer about bfn Squacky, though I still have good vibes about that faint line you had. As LL says, it ain't over till old af shows up!!
Did you get your pims LL? .Remember sipping it with dh years ago on top of Snowdon, ahh those were the days!! Glaskam, I feel very excited and nervous for you at the same time!!! Hope the next 12 days aren't too stressful for you; will ylour frined be there when youn do the test? [nosey emoticon] .
Kay, boo to useless paracetemol..hope the hot lemon and honey give you some relief .
Well, totally shattered here from taking all 3 dds to a playbarn party..dh is away too till tomorrow night, so hoping to hit the sack soon. I'm determine not to miss my face programme again though - The Peep Show ch4 . Anyone else a fan?

calsworld · 09/05/2008 20:59

Hi all, looks like you've all gone away

Ho hum......

Doody doody doo....

What can I say, CD27 for me today. Very sore b's over the last few days, I'm sure more so than normal so couldn't resist and POAS yesterday, but, 'quelle surprise', BFN!

Also, got a lot (A LOT) of CM over the past few days.

But as you've all said, I probably get all this every time I'm due AF but just don't notice coz I'm not scrutinising everything my body does normally...

Diege · 09/05/2008 21:05

Aww Cals, but day 27 is still very early to get an accurate reading!!Test with FMU early next week perhaps??
I am getting very of all these 2 week waits I must say!!
Remind me of this when I'm waiting with mine!!

calsworld · 09/05/2008 21:29

Yeah I know, i'm not toooo disappointed at this stage coz I have no clue when AF is even due. My cycles have varied form 31 to 41 days, so CD27 could be very early indeed! I just couldn't resist any longer!

I've got shooting pains in my boobs and have had all day - without over indulging me too much - is this normal?

calsworld · 09/05/2008 21:30

varied from

Diege · 09/05/2008 21:45

I think any boob pain is a GOOD SIGN . For me, the dead giveaway I'm pregnant is tingly nipples . When it's cold, it's easy to tell, but what I did last time when I suspected I was pregnant with dd3 (and it was a mild easter) was to [ahem] open the freezer door, sans bra, and just sort of wait for the tingle (or not). Go on, you know you want to try it...just don;t get too close or you'll stick to the ice ..
Who needs e-bay cheapies eh!

calsworld · 09/05/2008 21:53

LOL Diege!!! Last pregnancy I had really bad Reynaud's (sp) syndrome in both breasts. Despite asking my midwife about the pain (which would have me rocking in tears), posting on mumsnet and even asking the doctor, it didn't get diagnosed till DS was three days old and I was with the breast feeding counsellor at the hospital. Its triggered by the cold so much as I love the idea of an alternative (lentil weaving ) hpt, I'm not going to.

And I hope you've not got any images of the event either

Feel quite full of beans this last couple of days and I seem to be gravitating towards healthy food (apart from the quality street) which is quite unlike me. When pg before I couldn't stand vegetables - god knows how DS turned out as well as he has - I lived on chilli and tesco cauliflower cheese grills with chips!

Energy levels being high aren't a particularly good sign for pregnancy are they.

I'm just going to have to wait some more and test with FMU.

Stupid thing though - why do all the HPT's want me to pee continuously for 10 seconds - I only manage about three tops. Is it just me???

Diege · 09/05/2008 21:57

Cals, I have reynauds too (in my hands though!!)and am wincing here thinking about it in breasts, arghhh!!! No, deffo not a suitable candidate for the freezer test .
Wouldn;t worry too much about high energy levels - after all, drop in energy levels occurs before af..
Also, try weeing in a cup and HOLDING the stick in it for 10 seconds

Diege · 09/05/2008 22:31

Right, peep show calls so night all, and speak tomorrow

calsworld · 09/05/2008 22:44

G'night Diege - and anyone else who might be lurking!
