Sweet, Squack!

herbgarden · 31/05/2008 23:19

Hello all....
I've just come in from an evening out when my fourth ante natal friend announced she was pregnant..... and ... - I don't hold back and I cried. She said she was worried about telling me and I apologised for crying - but she was really sweet - luckily it was just the girls - still got it out the way and we all had a lovely evening. Out of 8 in my original group, 5 are now pregnant with no 2 or have just had no 2, one is now divorced with no new partner and one just only wants one. I just had that lurking dread that I may be the "statistic" for secondary infertility (in my most paranoid head)...I'm also the oldest in the group. Oh deary me.

Did a 10miu early advanced pg test tonight and if I squinted hard enough saw a ghostly faint line - but I suspect this is where the line should be if it were going to be. I got vaguely excited about it and then I have af feelings so decided it was just my eyes playing tricks on me......I know a line is a line but really I think with 20/20 vision you'd have trouble locating it.....Will maybe test again with FMU.

Welcome Yarnie - sorry - so me me me, that I forgot my manners for a second (and MissModular)

londonlottie - I carry on drinking at the moment as I decided to carry on regardless - given that my alcohol intake isn't much anyway I decided that the little bit I do have might be a nice change and shouldn't do any harm !! Off on hols a week Thursday during fertile time so looking forward to a few nice cold beers in the sunshine !!.....Don't feel guilty - this TTC lark really can take over your life.

Glad to see a few of you back here again - it was looking a bit lonely on this thread when I checked a few times over the last week or so (and I am guilty of non-posting too !!) ....

Squack · 01/06/2008 07:38

Herbgarden I still say your chart looks good and you are def norty poas at 10dpo
Lottie will tell you off

It's still early days for both of us (3rd cycle) you'll be announcing your pg soon I'm sure of it

I have removed fruitloop & beaniesteve. I think they have both had a full cycle without posting and fruity has even changed her name since the last time!
They can always add themselves back on can't they?

Hi all,

Not much happening in my corner at the mo, apart from breaking my thermometer by trying to silence it

herbgarden so sorry to hear about your being upset at your friend's announcement. I really know how you feel - Five of my friends are pregnant at the moment and while I'm really happy for them I still feel In fact three of them are my antenatal friends and our firstborns are only 18 mo! But loads of people have told me it's better to have 2.5-3 years between dcs so am trying to convince myself that it's better in the long run if I have to wait a few more months. So long as it's not too much more than that!

herbgarden · 01/06/2008 09:51

Am now 13 dpo and did an FMU with a 10miu internet cheapy this am and still just an evap/ghost line. I now have af feelings so I think this month is a no go for me. ......temp still up but usually goes down by Mon/Tues. Still sun is shining here now and will try to enjoy my day !

Yarnie · 01/06/2008 10:04

Morning everyone

Sorry to hear you were , Herb. I'm glad your friend was sweet and sensitive about it. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you're misinterpreting your AF signals!

I have a lowish temp today, so figuring that ov is on its way. I'll be setting DF to work over the next few days

Have a nice Sunday, all. I am slaving away in front of the computer as usual, but at least I have DF for company.

Hi all - had to basically beg FF to give me an o date this morning Had a bit of a night out on the 1st of the 6 temps before O, which I disregarded and FF was still counting!

herb I'm so sorry It definitely does seem like the WORLD is pregnant right now! But I'm crossing my fingers for you! Your chart looks great, the tests could be promising and remember AF symptoms are usually the same as pregnancy ones!

Squack · 01/06/2008 12:10

13 dpo! Really does that mean you are due on today herbgarden? Have amended your days accordingly.

Sorry about -ve.
I have some cheeps from eBay but there seems to be mixed feelings on MN about the accuracy of them. If I get to Thursday I might get some Supermarket OB's as i quite like them.
Or if I'm feeling flush a FR, which at 12 dpo should show up.

ok, am having a confusing day. Have become testing mad today since I got the faint line - did another one this afternoon and again got a faint line - it's further up the stick than the control line and is the same width and I think ever so slightly pink. But saying that I have af symptoms like I've
got AF symptoms just like I've had in previous months. Was knackered the last few days and have had stomach upset for the last week......I have to just wait really don't I - don't think I want to spend on a digi until I am really sure that I'm late....

Squack · 01/06/2008 18:51

You need a FR Herbgarden. Costly I know but it will give a definite answer.

A line is most certainly a line though

nausea and fatigue are the 2 biggy symptoms of very early pg as I'm sure you know.

Good Luck!! Not that you'll need it, you're up the duff!!!

OP posts:
herbgarden · 01/06/2008 19:53

I've been seeking out "faint lines" on google and now got myself in a right pickle. I even took a photo of my test to post on here and can't upload it (have a digital SLR and the photo size is too big and can't seem to reduce enough)...then I saw a thing that suggested that you put a test in water so you can compare and I did and there is def a line on the "real non-water" one but I'm still convinced its a ghost/evap/squint and you'd miss it line.....

I know I have to get a FR or similar - but do you really think a FR would give you a +ve when an internet 10miu early response thing gives only a faint line ???....or is that a completely daft question !...

I had no EWCM this month at all and don't have nausea but felt like I'd been run over by a truck on Friday. My stomach upset is the other end (sorry if TMI) and I've had it since just before the bank holiday.....

I know I know the only way to find out is for my period to arrive or get a test....I'm going to work tomorrow so will see what happens.

I do also have AF cramps so I think that's why I'm not convinced (can't remember what happened with DS tbh).

Will let you know....

Squack · 01/06/2008 20:39

your temp is still high and tbh your chart looks triphasic.

I think you've done it herby

OP posts:
lastboxoftampons · 01/06/2008 22:04

YAY herbgarden I think you're totally PG! Good luck for tomorrow!

herbgarden · 02/06/2008 04:57

Ok, I'm up and can't sleep - I am totally bonkers - have done another internet cheapy - padding around the bathroom with my "middle of the night pee" rather than "FMU" at 4.30am and another pale pink wide line appeared on the 10 miu after 5/10 mins. Could see in bathroom light (not quite completely light yet).....will maybe put myself out of my misery later on. Right now I'm going to take my mind off it (yeah right) and watch my skyplussed episode of Brothers & Sisters......

Really need to not get AF now (tomorrow or Wed) and get a proper test now before I confirm it......Temp is still up.

I have to go to work in 3 hours and have a busy day ahead. Seems like something may have bitten my eye so I look marvellous this morning !!..

Yarnie · 02/06/2008 07:07

Herb It's looking good! I hope you get a definitive BFP soon! Exciting .

All for now, as I have a ton of stuff to do.

My temp is up a bit! I didn't get much sleep however.

It was 98.58 at 4.15am, then I went back to sleep after seeing to the baby and woke at 7am to the higher temp. Is it reliable or not.

Hi girls....got back from hols last night and feel shattered today!! Ocado were knocking on the door before 7am!

Herb hope its good news - sounds like it is....
Lottie don't beat yourself up over drinking - spent all week having a few white wines - not every night just every other and during ov time too.... also my ov day this month is cd16 - last few months has been cd20 - 25 so another plus with accupuncture ?
How is your accu going ?! I can't wait to go again this Thursday - strange really but definitely feel its doing something...

Lastbox hope all well with you...
Need to read the rest of the thread to see the newbies on the list but Hello until I do..

Must go and put my shopping away first - back later x

have been and bought the CB digitals. had a huge glass of water just before I left so I'll not drink anything this am and test around 11ish....

squack I reckon go for your later temp....

SparklyPiliPala · 02/06/2008 08:44

Hi ladies,
Me again. Need your expert opinions. I discarded lots of those high pre-ov temps so FF would give me OV lines. Do you think my OV day is right? I haven't tested yet and don't have any tests in the house. Not sure what to think .
Thanks in advance. xx

What do you think

SparklyPiliPala · 02/06/2008 08:47

OWWW Herbgarden Good luck!!!

Thanks Squack. My temp didn't really drop last month for AF so I'll wait and see what happens tomorrow. Good luck to you too!! Really hope you get your BFP this month. xx
