Bonkers Anonymous...... The Summer of Love continued - and still no such thing as TMI

[Mandy73]

New thread as requested (panic, panic) - hope the name will do?

Hi all just back from lovely holiday in France. We celebrated DDs 5th birthday while we away which was lovely.

Dawn that woman sounds horrible.

Mandy I think we have generally told parents quite early. This time I really didn't want to tell my parents quite so early but as I was staying with them and could not drink wine or eat smoked salmon which they were having, I had to tell them. It was more stressful making up excuses than telling them. With my pregnancy that did go wrong I ended telling practically everyone I knew anyway.

Willmouse definitely worth getting checked out with doctor. I would think a baby can just get added as an extra to a holiday! Not like they need seating on the plane/food in the hotel etc.

Hi to everyone else-Flirty/BB/HC hope you are all feeling OK

Hi girls

Heeby ? well done girl, you are holding up well! Keep your chin up and let us know of any more developments Congrats on being asked to be godmother, how lovely!

Flirty ? hope you are feeling OK. Please stick around xx

mandy ? do people really use egg white??? That is revolting! I would also be inclined to tell your families, they can support you then. I would also find it really hard to lie! How?s your symptoms apart from the boobs?

Dawn ? so sorry about what happened at the EPU. I will share a similar story (didn?t say anything at the time as I thought I might have been being a bit over-sensitive!). One lady came out white as a sheet, had obviously been given bad news. Then this young annoying loud girl went in and came out very loudly saying to her bf ? you hold the kid (2 yr old) I can?t I am pregnant you know (in sarcastic voice). Then I cam out in tears and she was still at it so we waited in the corridor as I couldn?t bear it! I thought at the time how unfair it seemed, so I know exactly what you mean. Rant away honey. I think your plans for the coming months sound great. You will be able to take your mind off ttc for a while and hopefully get a house, how exciting!

BSL ? I also hardly have any CM and really struggled to work it out unless I really rummaged! (TMI sorry!). It improved when I started taking the Agnus Castus tablets even though they didn?t help in any other way!

Willmouse ? hope you?re ok. It sounds very strange. Maybe another trip to the GP might not be such a bad idea? It would be great if you start actively ttc again! Go for it ? you can join in with the summer of love!

HC ? 5 times in one weekend! That?s very impressive! I agree, don?t think you could have done anything more! Fingers crossed for you now! Is your DH proud of himself?

BB ? sorry to hear about your pg friend who ?wasn?t really trying?. It is perfectly natural and understandable to be gutted for yourself whilst still being happy for her. Who knows you could easily end up with children almost the same age!

Hi to major moo. Glad you had a lovely holiday! I tmust be lovely to celebrate a birthday while you are there. can you believe your dd is 5???

Waves to anyone I?ve missed xx

I have had a fab day at the funfair/regatta. We met up with DP?s cousin and her kids (7,5, and 4 months!) I got lots of cuddles off the baby and got to push the buggy round town! I had to tell her our news as the kids kept asking me to go on various rides! . We walked home with yummy fish and chips. Very very tired now and think I will be asleep shortly!

Good evening all - lots of chat again today, its so hard to keep up

HC - wow - what a weekend!! Hope you and dh get some rest tonight. Am keeping everything crossed for you in the 2ww.

After my +ive opk yesterday, I tested again today and got a -ive, My temp also dropped a lot this morning, so I am keeping my fingers crossed for a hike in temp tomorrow, indicating I have ov'd today after the LH surge yest. Dh and I bd'd Fri, Sat & Sun, so have sent lots of tropps in anticipation for a egg being set off today! Will also try to bd tonight when dh gets in from work, as he is away tomorrow until Thurs - grrr.

Dawn - for your exp at the epu. Some people just have no idea do they? Hope you are keeping well.

BB - it's gutting to hear about people getting pg without really trying isn't it? Keep your chin up as it will be your turn soon. Hope you managed to get lots of bd in around cd9.

Flirty - I completely understand how you feel with your dh! I agree with the others about keeping some things to yourself! I haven't told dh about the opk's or the cm analysis . He knows I am checking my temp, but I just tried to be a bit seductive when I got that ewcm, as this seems to me to be the best indicator of imminent ov! Hope you have some luck with it.

Apologies to everyone I've missed - have to prepare for a friend who's coming for wine tonight . I'll just update the stats before I dash...

Morning ladies,

I hope everyone is okay this morning!!!

Tried out the pre-seed last night and I thought it was pretty good. In fact I preferred it to the sachets. Anyhow getting mad now, cos I am still getting '-' OKPs and I've had no OV pain and no temp rise...so definitely haven't OV'ed yet. According to last month, I should OV today...but with another '-' OKP this morning, who knows when I will. I did get some slightly stretchy CM yesterday, so I'm wondering if this is the start of my fertile phase. I'm not sure how easy checking CM will be today, having used pre-seed yesterday.

Anyhow here's the updated stats for the day:

Hi everyone!

I feel bad for only popping on every few days/once a week. I actually have no idea what is going on with anyone, but am sad to see Dawns names back on the Bonking list.

I am either very tired from being awake all hours of the night with the worst heartburn of any of my pregnancies (I am still trying to enjoy it.... I WILL enjoy it because I am NOT doing this again, lol!). If it isn't heartburn, my butt goes numb after justb a few minutes in front of the computer, lol! I actually think that is quite funny.

I hope the rest of you are holding up and doing well. I think of you all often.

Morning ladeez

Dawn and ChocEclair-I can believe how it was for you in the EPU. Appalling!

detoxdiva-have you had a temp rise? My temps are rising at 0.1 per day-v. bizarre as they normally rocket after OV.

bluestar-sounds like OV is any day now. Keep testing so you don't miss it.

Heartmum-always lovely to hear of your progress. If I get heartburn as bad this time as with DD2 I think I will visit the Dr like my hairdresser did. She got her Gaviscon type liquid on prescription so it was free. I spent a fortune last time. When I was in labour they gave me a tablet which worked immediately.

Am just defrosting the freezer-always do it in June when the man comes to service the boiler as he likes to talk and I keep myself busy doing that so I can chat at the same time or he would be there all day. This year as we can't afford oil at the moment he hasn't been able to service it hence it needing an urgent defrost.

Mum and dad want to take me and the girls to Bridlington for the day on Friday and I'm trying to make enquiries to see if Beach Huts can be hired for they day. Doubt it as I suspect they are privately owned-will see if I get a reply to my E-Mail.

Hope you all have a good day. Catch up later.

Morning all,

V clever method of getting boiler man to focus on his job HC.

Hope everyone is well. I've got a lot going on with work right now, so much so I sometimes 'forget' (!!) momentarily I'm PG. Always really lovely when I 'remember' again though. Lower tum feels heavy, getting v sleepy in the evenings & a bit queezy in the mornings but so far can't complain at all. Still worrying & knicker-checking a lot though - I suppose you do after a spotting scare.
Having a private nuchal scan in week 12 so shouldn't go for my dating scan in w 10 (that's what the technician said during my early-scare scan at least). Can't wait.

Have a good day all. xx

HC - I've been doing my OPKs (from Sunday night) every 12 hours. I think I had a faint line this morning...made DH check and he agrees. But it's not like the control line...I agree OV (hopefully!! fingers and toes crossed) will be any day now!! My temps are nice and stable at the moment, so I should see an increase. Weird that your temps are increasing gradually like that! maybe it's a good sign..?

HM2J - don't feel bad about just popping in every now and then...it's lovely to hear from you and how things are going!! PMSL thinking of you chuckling away cos your bum's gone numb!! The heartburn doesn't sound much fun though!

Mandy - I was looking at the stats and can't believe how quickly the weeks have gone by!! Although I'm not surprised you 'forget' sometimes, I'm sure as you get bigger you won't be able to!

BSL x

bluestar-as I said before my lines are always very feint. Sounds good to me.

HC

morning ladies

I'm loving being on summer hols so I can actually keep up with this thread!

Hi to MJIM - 8 weeks and counting! OMG! Are you still decided on the names then?

HM2J - we missed you! The heartburn souns rubbish although the numb bum is just funny! Hope it's all going well otherwise. Is your bump still growing rapidly?

bluestar - my opk lines were always really feint aswell. I took them as my +ves. Sounds like ov is approaching - this could be your month! Glad the preseed worked well!

HC - any symptoms? or are you TNTO?(trying not to obsess)?

Mandy - have I read that correctly that you are NOT having a 10 week scan just the nuchal scan? How much does that cost? How is the queasiness today?

detox - how are you doing? Have you eased up on the BDing yet? lol! Hope you had a nice drink with your friend the other night

I am very proud of myself today and I phoned the midwife. This was the lady who we got the letter for the booking in appointment last time on the actual day of the MC. I was so upset that DP had to ring her and tell her! However, thought it was time to admit that I am actually pg and set things in motion! She is calling me back later!

Daisyj/Mandy - have either of you joined the antenatal thread yet? I honestly don't think I dare.

Have a lovely day everyone (mine is a dvd/duvet day! )

ChocEclair-getting things moving in the midwife department makes it all seem real, However, if/when I do get PG I think I might wait until about 9 weeks until I phone up then I should have full PG symptoms (hopefully) and it also is less time to wait until the 12 week scan. I am so trying not to obsess symptom spot but am failing miserably. My (.)(.) are tingling and very tender and have the usual cramping. Why oh why do we have to wait 2 weeks FGS? May even keep off the wine this week.

MJIM-still can't believe you will have another little one by my B'Day 8th Oct. Oh, if you are a tad late he/she might share it with me.

Hey, shall be predict the sex of MJIM's bubba?

I predict a girl.

Ooooh HC what a good suggestion!!

I'm with you, I predict a girl too!!

Mjim: I can't believe you only have just ober 8 weeks left, it seems to have gone so fast! I am guessing girl for you also.

Glad you all think the numb bum is funny! It is quite amusing in that it makes me get up and do other things when I don't really feel like it. The heartburn really is the pits, but I wouldn't trade it for the world and in a nice way, I am wishing heartburn on the rest of you too.

Right, grandparents have just informed me they are coming and my house looks like a bomb went off, best shove stuff in a closet!

Hi all. Have read the posts but am too tired after stupid evening job to do a long post but do need to add myself to the following list:-

HumphreysCorner -girl
DawnAS -girl
bluestarlavender -girl
Willmouse - boy

Will try again tomorrow when I will, no doubt, be even more exhausted. I am teetering on handing in my notice.

Hi willmouse-glad to hear from you and hope you make the right decision re your job. Perhaps when you are less exhausted?

Hi all. Just popping in briefly as work super-busy because my assistant's away. Am not that important, BTW, just have an assitant as job too big for one person!

ChocEclair - I don't dare either - am not joining ante-natal thread till 12-week scan, but have to confess to lurking once or twice. I've only read the first few pages, but the March ladies sound lovely. If Mandy is joining too, then I reckon you should join March with us, as you're only 1 April.

Mandy - such a lottery the NHS. We get nuchal scans for free here (Lewisham). I was feeing quite queasy till about 11.30, but better now and more energy than the last few days. I know what you mean about sometimes 'forgetting' - I'm quite pleased when that happens.

HC - Everything crossed for you. I'm almost as nervous for you as I was on my own 2ww (particularly since I totally didn't think I was pg)

Looking forward to my doc appointment tomorrow morning, so I'll be 'in the system' and hopefully have an 8-week scan date soon. Acupuncture appointment tonight, so should help with relaxing. I was in a bit of a state yesterday morning, worrying about leak in roof, baby, money, you name it I was worrying about it, but meditated last night and this morning and it seems to have made a big difference.

Dawn - I wish I could say about your story, but I've heard so many awful things on mn about EPU waiting rooms from women who've mc'd. I think they should put up signs asking that people respect everyone's reasons for being there (and make sure staff enforce it), particuarly when some of the EPU waiting room are the same place or next to where women wait for terminations. Shocking...

I go for girl for MJIM too. Anyone dare to break with the consensus now?

Just popping in to add my prediction although it is exactly the same as most of the others

HumphreysCorner -girl
DawnAS -girl
bluestarlavender -girl
Heartmum -girl
Ceebee - girl

Willmouse -boy

Have got an appointment with the consultant this afternoon to get the blood test results back from the last scan we had - I am working on the basis that 'no news is good news' so as it has been 3 weeks and we have had no contact from MW/hospital, I am assuming they were all clear but trying to expect the worst aswell iyswim. Can't say I am looking forward to it Keep your fingers crossed for me this afternoon.

Ceebee - good luck this afternoon!! Let us know how you get on!
