TTC #4 and lurking in the shadows really as some people may tut and say surely 3 is enough!
Anyone else doing the same?

Oh blimey, I will cringe if no one comes over!

Yeah! Heinz - great news on your scan Now it will definitely sink in! LOL.. sometimes (when I'm not nauseous) I still don't feel pg! Another couple of weeks and I am sure I will feel my little bean kicking!

Diege- -thank goodness work is not too busy right now... so I can take it easy. Hoping to be over the hangover by tonight, though it usually goes on for 2 days. Do you get more migraines while pg? With first 2 DC I had them steady for first 3 months! These last 2 pg seem to be better. This is the first for this baby, and only had one with DD2.

Diege · 04/02/2009 16:33

BABY, pregnancy is the only time I don't tend to get them! I did have one around the time baby would have died with my mmc (7 weeks) which makes me wonder, as they are very much linked to menstrual cycle for me (and stress!!). Glad work isn't too busy. I'm working at home , so too easy to relax!

Twiglettini · 05/02/2009 08:54

Hello all, sorry I've not been around, for some reason I can't access mn at home anymore. Can get the internet and other sites, but thought mn was down as just wouldn't access it (had sneaky thought that dh had restricted my access??! as he thinks I'm a bit loopy to be on here, they just don't understand, do they??) anyway, am at work today, but never have time at work to post or read. Just wanted to let you all know that I'm thinking of you and very frustrated that can't log in at home. Will be back if mn lets me log in from home.

Very best of luck to you all, esp Kat and your mysterious bleeding etc.. horrible not to know. Am impressed at your restraint at waiting until Tues.

Am on cd 14 after mc and have not ov yet, so am also quite frustrated as usually ov around day 11 ish, hoping it is going to happen soon.

not sure when can post again, but best wishes to you all x Twig

Sandy4 - hi and a big welcome to you. We are referring to people as Carrots when they are pg, just a crazy way of using the donkey - carrot thing, all the rest of us are all ttc#4 except MrsD who already has 4 and was ttc#5 but her dh is having a funny five minutes and so her trying to concieve is currently on hold. One of us will get around to updating the list soon.... as you will understand having 3 children each keeps us busy, although it does not keep us from chatting

OK got to get dd to school again, will try to come back later.

Diege · 05/02/2009 09:47

Morning! Good to hear from you TWIG - how annoying about just being able to post from work! I think it's normal for ovulation to be delayed a little after a mc - I think from memory mine was by about a week and a half. Hello RAINBOW - found the list!
Will need some updating on cd days etc.

Not ttc#4 yet!!
Sweetkitty - will join in the madness soon!!!

Katonahottinroof · 05/02/2009 10:35

Hi guys,
Twig hope you get your OV soon, I never know when I OV so couldn't tell you how long it was for me. Hope you get your net access sorted too!
RE the list LOL I wouldn't have a clue where I am! Had another bright red bleed last night but same as before, just when wiping and no pain, now it's stopped. Am feeling very pregnant which is annoying. Have V sore boobs and can't stay awake amongst other things.
I'm either 6+5 or CD14, who knows? Am refusing to test anymore until Tuesday morning, have been V good so far but prob coz I'm sick to death of ebay cheapies!

Welcome to the madness Sandy, my youngest is 5 too and a little terror she is! Hope you get your BFP very soon xx

sandy4 · 05/02/2009 11:16

Kat - you have a lot of will power!! I couldn't wait 5 days to test if I was in your position esp if feeling pregnant!! Good luck!

Thanks Diege for the list! & thanks to rainbow for the update on who's doing what, where, why & how.

DH has 'man flu', I'll make him a brew poor love ha! ha!

Katonahottinroof · 05/02/2009 11:50

Hi Sandy, I had a positive test on Tuesday following what I thought was a mc 2 weeks ago (bleeding was heavy but brief and painless), it's complicated and if I was testing it would just be obsessing over darkness of lines etc.... and I'll drive myself nuts!

Katonahottinroof · 05/02/2009 13:13

PMSL just did an ebay cheapie - couldn't resist after talking about it LOL I admot to having no willpower!

Still BFP - possibly darker than Tuesday but at least the same.

Am expecting another bleed tonight after having one the last 2 nights about 9pm LOL

It's been 2 weeks today since the big bleed at 4+5 and I should be 6+5.

I'm rubbish for caving and my body is rubbish for messing me about.

sandy4 · 05/02/2009 15:43

Sounds v exciting kat, I had bleeding on & off when pregnant with DS1. Very confussing.

Make sure you take care of yourself - lots of tlc in the form of chocolate, bubble baths & sleeeeep!

fingers crossed!

Diege · 05/02/2009 17:47

Good advice there KAT from SANDY. I can't start to think how you must be feeling, though bfp still a good sign. Remember that for many people (myself included) the line only reaches a certain darkness on e-bay cheapies, even when several weeks pregnant xx

Katonahottinroof · 05/02/2009 18:29

Thanks, yeah I know the thing about ebay cheapies, they're rubbish. My friend came over last night, she is 2 weeks late (has lots of probs though inc endo and is waiting for IVF) so said she could use on of my cheapies. Nothing came up in 5 mins but when we went back there was a dark line - with NO colour. I said it was prob an evap but she then did a digi and it came up not preg. Never realised how the evaps can really look like BFPs! Mine all had definite colour and still do so very different but if I had got that line that she got before I had my pink lines I would really have taken it as a positive.

Felt awful for her getting her hopes up but she was fine, she knew it was unlikely anyway bless her. She's training as a social worker and is currently working with socially deprived pregnant teenagers. She wants me to come in a have a chat with them all as a 'positive role model'! LOL I was quite flattered but a bit scared. She has told me all sorts of horror stories!! I'm going to do it though. I was just starting year 11 at school and only 15 when I got pregnant and I was terrified!

Sry random going off on a tangent there!

Diege · 06/02/2009 10:20

Morning! How are things this morning KAT?
SCORPIO, you have been conspicuous by your absence . Any closer to testing?

mrsdisorganised · 06/02/2009 11:05

Hello all!
Lol Rainbow...DH is definitely having a funny 5 mins...any suggestions would be good in getting him to change his mind....
Wondering how Kat and Scorpio are too

Hope everyone else is ok

sandy4 · 06/02/2009 12:23

mrsd - tell him he is the most fantastic father & promise to name the baby after him ????

babyblue3 · 06/02/2009 13:30

Good morning all! Well... another sleepless night for me... sigh. One of the kids' toys feel off a shelf and into the tub at 4am. The crash scared the HELL out of me! Couldn't get back to sleep after that. Now I am sitting at work and wondering how I will manage staying awake for the day.

The baby must also be coming down with ANOTHER bug. She was snuggled with me on the sofa last night, when she sat up and vomited ALL OVER ME! (sorry if TMI... but I'm sure you have all been there before!). It was sooo bad that I immediately started gagging and almost vomited myself. Of course, both DD1 and DH are not home, and DS just stood there... what a disaster! DH came home just in time to take baby out of the bath and put her to bed while I had a shower. Sorry... its a rather "me" post....

I am just sooo tired of DD2 being sick. Ever since putting her in daycare (you ladies call it Nursery school right?), she has had one bug after the next. My MIL took care of the older 2 DC when they were younger, so I never had this problem. Anyone go through the same thing, and if so, how long can I expect this to go on??

How is everyone else? Looking forward to the weekend I expect!

Twiglettini · 06/02/2009 13:34

Hello Sandy, not properly introduced myself yet - welcome to this thread.

Hooray, I'm back on line at home. Wondered if it was the authorities suggesting I spent too much time on here and not enough time mothering my existing children (hmm, need to think about that one).

How are you all, any news, Scorpio and Kat?
