i'm not sure.... i personally wouldn't risk it if i was unsure... but ask, i'm sure they'll know!!

As for Simon Cowell and whips/telling off- LOL!!! i was gigling away with that tink!!

Diege · 26/06/2008 11:33

Ahem yes, think rough and ready sort of hits the spot
Re: Toni and Guy chair, I cannot for the life of me think what the 'risk' could be but if you would worry about it I'd just ask them to turn it off. I did actually have the vibrating toni and guy chair when I was pregnant with dd3 (once) and hadn't even contemplated any problems!

GYo · 26/06/2008 11:34

great scan pic Tink so tiny but already looking like a baby!

Sorry for asking daft questions but do they always do scan at 7wks? I had 12 wks in my head for some reason.

Diege · 26/06/2008 11:35

Just googled it on the Babycenter and the 'ob-gyns' there say it's totoally safe and that your baby gets more vibrations when you walk up and down the street/the stairs. So go for it!!!

auntyspan · 26/06/2008 11:40

tink what a GREAT picture! It's so clear already!

Gyo ordinarily you have a scan at 12 weeks to ascertain if your dates are right - but if you have a history of mc or bleeding in a previous pregnancy you can request an earlier scan - as I understand it. I've had a mc and bleeding during 1st pregnancy with DD so I will be requesting a scan as early as possible!!!

Did a test this morning and was BFN..... I know I'm only CD24 but getting VERY impatient now!

glaskham · 26/06/2008 11:45

Aunty- you sound just like me.... once i've tested i cant hold on to test again!!
I only have 3 tests in the house (thanks to diege) for this cycle (unlike the 9 last time) and will not buy anymore unless i get a bfp on these so i wont be spending too much money on tests!!

glaskham · 26/06/2008 11:47

right off to get kids fed and do the nursery run!! tata 4 now xxx

Hi everyone.

Diege, I love Wimbledon - was lucky enough to go in 2006 and see Nadal play (swoon), but have you seen Lopez?? SOOOOOO gorgeous!!

Tink - am envious of your trip to Toni and Guy (can only dream of affording it right now!) and as for the vibrating chair - sounds blissful!

Aunty I definitely think it's too early, can you get DH to hide the tests until the weekend??! It's so tempting though, I know. Last cycle I tested at about 3dpo coz I had an amazingly vivd dream about getting a BFP (unsurprisingly got a BFN) and then held out to test again. AF turned up the day before I was going to test so at least felt I'd saved some precious cash!

monkeybumsmum · 26/06/2008 12:02

Just had a quick look, and saw Simon Cowell name - Diege I'm sooooo with you on that My god he's sexy - it's definately the power/control thing with him. Hhhmmmmm, he's very dominating . Think I'm going a bit weak at the knees now.....

Diege · 26/06/2008 12:10

That's more like it . Monkey, I will loan you Simon then until Wimbledon is over - be gentle with him please
Kooky, you lucky thing ; is Nadal as gorgeous in the flesh?? Lopez is very nice in a Jesus sort of way, but I'll stick with Rafa thank you Anyone for Murray [blughhh!!!]
Aunty, what are you like!!! Once you start though that's it, and tbh the good thing about testing early is that there's usually a good reason for the negatives, it being so early..

auntyspan · 26/06/2008 12:29

Diege - that's what I keep thinking "well of COURSE it's negative auntyspan..... you're only CD22 days!!"

I am SO sad

Playingthewaitinggame · 26/06/2008 12:43

Ah the pressure of testing early. I will be strong, I will not test. CD27 and holding strong (mind you I'm not expecting AF for 8-10 days) I hate having long cycles Also helps that I have no tests in the house!

auntyspan · 26/06/2008 12:49

Playingthewaitinggame

I need some of your resolve! I have about 25 tests in the house!!

lastboxoftampons · 26/06/2008 12:58

I'm not sure about Simon Cowell in the looks department, but I have to admit, I usually agree with him in XFactor/American Idol and get annoyed that everyone thinks he's so mean all the time - he's just talking sense!

25 tests!!! I usually don't have any, but I currently have one. Have only actually ever used two in my life It's only because I started using OPKs this month that I'm getting better about "aiming"

kookykid · 26/06/2008 13:07

LBOT - I have never had a very good "aim"! I keep an old yoghurt pot in the bathroom cupboard - much harder to miss!

Diege · 26/06/2008 13:15

Midwife just rang to arrange a booking in appointment for 2 weeks time (clinic is now fortnightly..)I also mentioned about the lack of sickness and she said it's nothing to worry about and that I might be having a 'male foetus' (I'd rather a baby )and that she was exactly the same with her pregnancies. Feel a bit better now, and after all, what can I do about it anyway!
Nadal is on this afternoon!!! DDs will have to come straight back after school rather than us going to the cafe

glaskham · 26/06/2008 13:24

why does everyone say boys mean less sickness but yet it was COMPLETLEY the other way round with me??? am i just a freak???

lastboxoftampons · 26/06/2008 13:24

Would you like to have a boy Diege? I'm surprised the midwife would say tht - isn't it an old wives tale?

KK I've been doing the OPKs at work, so I find it difficult to store a container in my desk and whip it out every afternoon around 3pm it's bad enough that I take my handbag with me - I feel like everyone knows what I'm going to do!

Diege · 26/06/2008 13:29

LOL Glaskham, tbh I think (as LBOX says) that it is just an old wives tale if I'm honest, though it could be that individual women react differently to male/female foetuses due to their hormonal 'make up', which would fit with me..(and you Glaskham, but in reverse!). I mentioned it being an old wives tale, but she was adament . Bear in mind she was convined dd3 would be a boy from the heart rate ...

Diege · 26/06/2008 13:30

Oh and I'm really indifferent as to the sex, boy/girl, no preference!

glaskham · 26/06/2008 13:33

ahh...ok then... my thinking is my little princess would never put me throguh sickness like a boy would!!

I soooooo want another boy though.... dont know why, but i do, but i dont want the sickness....

auntyspan · 26/06/2008 13:52

I just thought it was 'different' sickness - girls tend to make you more sick throughout the day (lots of feeling sick but little vomiting) but with boys you feel violently sick first thing and vomit quite frequently, but it's only in the morning....

or is that rubbish?

glaskham · 26/06/2008 14:08

well in my own experience with ds i was violently sick 24/7 for the whole 9mths!! whereas with dd i wasn't sick once because of the pg.... but that could just be me, and with ds i did have hyperemesis, so dont know if that makes a difference, or if it was all the sickness that caused me to have it...

Diege · 26/06/2008 14:12

I'm also not sure about that one aunty! I was violently sick all day with dds 1&3 and had to get rehydrated in hosptital both times. I think if we were to do a mumsnet poll we would probably find....no pattern! .
Oh no Nadal is losing..we must have distracted him with all our filthy talk

glaskham · 26/06/2008 14:15

yeah i think it'd be the same Diege... oh i better go and do my opk soon.... starting to need the loo!!
