Hi Lardy, how are you today?

Can't believe pop has twins How exciting!

lardybump · 24/06/2008 16:55

I know Pop did you catch my last message?

Hmm, well increased hunger is surely a symptom . How many weeks are you? i'm sure some people don't get symptoms till later.

monkeybumsmum · 24/06/2008 17:06

Thanks Teuch for the advice - ewww re semen! Could be though

Wow Pop, congratulations! How very exciting! Bet you must be in shock...

LB how many weeks are you?

Playingthewaitinggame · 24/06/2008 17:08

I must admit Monkey I am wondering if semen is confusing the issue a bit with me. Been used to monitoring my CM all year without Dh's little swimmers getting in the way so it wouldn't surprise me if Dh's contributions were confusing the issue!

lardybump · 24/06/2008 17:09

I was 5 weeks yesterday so I know it is very early but I havent had any symptoms no sore boobs nothing...

Well I'm sure a lot of women don't get symptoms that early. Give it a few weeks and you'll be complaining you have too many

lastboxoftampons · 24/06/2008 17:12

Oh my goodness! TWINS! Congrats, Pop!!!! So tell us all about it! What was it like to see two little guys pop up on the screen? What's your DP's reaction? So excited for you

Heebeejeebee · 24/06/2008 17:19

Pop - congratulations!!!!! That's fantastic news (if a little daunting!!)

Playing - I am indeed at the beginning of my 2ww. It will be nice to have someone to share the agony with!!!

Playingthewaitinggame · 24/06/2008 17:28

Yes Heebee, it will be nice. Hopefully it will be a BFP for both of us

Right, I'm off home now as I'm still not feeling that well.

"See" you all tomorrow.

lardybump · 24/06/2008 17:29

lastboxoftampons · 24/06/2008 17:38

Oooh, wait for me 2ww'ers! According to past cycles, I'm likely to ov tomorrow. I think.

G'Night, Playing!

tinkhasabean · 24/06/2008 17:56

oh wow congrats pop that is so exciting

Diege · 24/06/2008 18:09

Wow POP wonderful news . Has it sunk in yet???
LB, 5 weeks is very early...most people wouldn;t even know they were pregnant yet. I think that half our problem is that we tested so early so that the pregnancies feel longer than they might have. I had no boob soreness with other dds, and I think with most women 5 weeks is generally a little early for it. I had the odd twinge under my arms with dd1 at about 10 weeks, but nothing with other dds. What are we like! How will we last till 40 weeks .
Meeting with research midwife person went really well, and I'll be going to meet the team of Communmity midwves to try and 'sell' the research to them in a few weeks time. Very excited, but a bit nervous too!
Love the new thread title - the wagon is toppling over!
Off work now till 7th July - yipee!!!

kookykid · 24/06/2008 18:11

Pop - TWINS????!! Wow!!! How exciting is that?? How're you feeling about it? Are you in shock?!

LBOT am due to OV in the next couple of days as well, so I will hold your hand in the 2ww if you hold mine! This thread has suddenly picked up again after a quiet few days... Hooray!

Playing - if it's just down to GOFing you should be in a with a good chance thsi month - am v impressed with how mich you've managed!

Fingers crossed for everyone.

kookykid · 24/06/2008 18:13

LB and Sorky a quick question for you... You suggested doing the OPKs at 3pm. Why? I know I'm going to find it hard to remember to do it then!

glaskham · 24/06/2008 18:23

wow pop how exiting is that??? 2 little ones!!!

lardybump · 24/06/2008 18:39

KK because the body stores up most LH between 11 and 3. If you cant do it then dont worry just do it when you can, it says you can do it at any time on the box but I took Sorkys advise and did it at 3..

OP posts:
lardybump · 24/06/2008 18:42

Diege are you going away or just having a well earned break at home?

OP posts:
lardybump · 24/06/2008 18:50

KK thinking about it it may have been 4 oclock was the best time to do it. I am going to go back and find the thread where she told me and I will be back.....

OP posts:
Diege · 24/06/2008 19:05

Just at home LB; have lots of marking to finish, but being at home with Wimbledon and the coffee maker make it soo much nicer (and MN of course!). Ahh that reminds me, haven't gone off coffee either...
For some reason the 3pm thing rings bells with me

lardybump · 24/06/2008 19:13

Wow that took ages but I have it KK. Squack (as she was know then) said:- I would test at 3pm because the highest levels of LH build between 11-3 apparently.

Diege I have not gone off coffee either and that was one of the first things I remember wiht DD. But as you say i didn't know I was pg at this stage. Blast testing early......

OP posts:
kookykid · 24/06/2008 19:29

Thanks for that LB, will try and set my alarm or something!
Try not to worry too much you two (easier said than done I know). Each pg is different and it is still pretty early days. In a few weeks you'll probably be wishing you felt like you do now!

lardybump · 24/06/2008 19:35

Diege you are the lady that knows. Do you have the odd drink while pg or is it really a no never....

OP posts:
lardybump · 24/06/2008 19:49

Or anyone else if there is anyone here.

Just been reading a story in local paper about binge drinking when pg and I am shocked by the amount these pg ladies are drinking. I have an odd (and only one) glass of wine or bear on a saturday night after 12 weeks stage, and I think that is fine but these ladies are drinking to the point of being drunk every friday and saturday night.
