Thanks everyone, you do give me a lift but perhaps I'm not handling this as well as you might think. I've just had a bit of a cry actually. Suddenly decided I was kidding myself and that there's no point trying to be positive.

But that's silly - I'm certainly not going to help myself or my family by assuming the worst. I'm so up and down. One minute I am convinced that it will be ok and the next that there is no hope.

I get the results tomorrow morning. I was meant to have a booking in appt at 10.30 and my lovely midwife said she'd call me 1st thing and let me know the score.

Well I've got everything I can cross crossed for you - keep talking to your little bean. I was singing to mine in the shower this morning

Joolsiam · 16/01/2009 13:13

Perfectly natural reaction Wasabi - the waiting must be soooo stressful trying to listen to every little twinge your body creates whilst desperately hoping - sounds like a magnified version of the 2WW really ..

We will ALL be on tenterhooks waiting for your news tomorrow.

I've just put 2 and 2 together and made around 347 Have been having lank, grotty hair issues for a few days - just remembered that I had exactly the same issue prior to Sept's BFP

Itchy boobs today - almost but not quite enough to chalk it up as a definite symptom !

Oh, and I just worked out my days were off by 1 - am ten or 11 dpo today, so will be testing on Monday if I get that far

WanabeMum · 16/01/2009 13:17

Aww Wasabi it's perfectly natural, if i were in your shoes i'm sure i'd be on an emotional rollercoaster too. If you need to cry then cry, it wont hurt you

Jools that's so exciting!!!!! Oh i hope it's a BFP for you

Spats thanks for the details of the cough medicine, I will definately be buying some

Wasabi if I ov late it means AF will arrive later, so I will not keep my hopes up when AF doesn't arrive. I was hoping that I had already concieved and the sticks were telling me I was positive... hummm wishful thinking.

Has anyone that is pg ever used t OPK sticks to see what lines would appear?? if you have one lying around perhaps someone could conduct such a test, for scientific TTC Theory?? I know, I know, I am mad to even suggest this, but I never have had such positive line before on my OPK sticks...

Cindy you need to go to....

www.peeonastick.com/opkhpt.html

All your questions should be answered!

wasabipeanut · 16/01/2009 13:53

Actually having read that it looks pretty good for you I'd say!

Seeing as I have bugger all else to do other than wait and get stressed, and, even if not preg, clearly still have HCG in my system, I will however test on one of the cheapie OPK's I have kicking around. I quite miss my stick peeing habit! Good job really because I have a feeling I am going to resume it quite soon.

c1ndy - may the experiment begin!

For all those ladies waiting to test... I have found a website that gives you an online pregancy test.... www.epigee.org/pregnancy/test.html

Can you believe that, they have every on the web. Give it a go.. I did and it said I had 20% chance, but I am too early for it to predict!!

Wasabi thanks for indulging me, let me know what happens...I know its just wishful thinking on my side. I am going home to do another OPK test but am going to read your link first. I will logon at home after I pick up my DD...
Speak soon

Ok C1ndy - just done my OPK and it was a strong positive.

Whether this info is helpful or not I just don't know!

yellowflowers · 16/01/2009 16:58

oh no cindy - another site for me to obsess over!!!

Went to walk in clinic for cough today - told them I am ttc in case they prescribed anything (they didn't) but nurse said she was trying too and ended up having long chat about that instead - though I knew much more than she did and she's a nurse!

yellowflowers · 16/01/2009 17:00

hahahaha - I just did the online thing cindy linked to and forgot to change the year - it told me I am 106 weeks pregnant!

smileycat · 16/01/2009 18:14

There was a website where a girl pee'd on a OPK stick & a pg stick every day of her cycle to compare the results & the day that she got her +ive result on the pg stick she also got a faint line on the OPK as well. She said that they do pick up the same hormones but the pg test will pick it up sooner.

I also recommend temping I would never have known that I ov'd early if I hadn't have put my results in FF & was told that it had risen for 3 days. I would have gone through two packs of sticks waiting for the rise

WanabeMum · 16/01/2009 19:38

Ooh just looked on that site Cindy added and it says i could be pregnant but may be too soon to tell. Well i could have told you that myself! was interesting though.

My DH is trying to get me to test tomorrow. Not sure though, despite being desperate to have a BFP i am ssssoooo nervous it may actually be a BFN! Stupid i know because there is nothing i can do about it either way so may just get it over with. At least if it's a BFN i can hope that it's too early and a BFP may be on the way huh?

Sorry ladies, getting slightly neurotic now. 2WW comes to a close and stress goes through the roof!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joolsiam · 17/01/2009 11:42

Morning all !

Just dropped in to see if there was any news from Wasabi ....

Been to the gym and the sun is out. Playing a waiting game today and doing some seriously obsessed knicker checking - found some watery brown stuff on the tissue when wiping a couple of times this morning - sometimes AF starts like this, but I don't feel premenstrual. Hoping it is something else

wasabipeanut · 17/01/2009 12:57

There is news from me and sadly it isn't good. Apparently I've gone from being 46 to 47 days pg according to hcg level - not good considering the 3 day gap between tests.

It's over. I think I sort of knew that all along if I'm being honest. dh and I have cried on and off all morning but everytime I think I've got it all out it comes back again.

Have to have scan next week to confirm then I think I will have a D&C. My body is obviously determined to hang on to this pregnancy even though its long gone.

Pezzina · 17/01/2009 13:01

I'm so sorry Wasabi that is such sad news. My thoughts are with you and your DH, sweetie. I really don't know what else to day... xxxx

Pezzina · 17/01/2009 13:02

... to say! xxxx

Joolsiam · 17/01/2009 13:05

So sorry to hear this - after all the waiting and hoping, it is just heartbreaking

Please don't go away Wasabi - keep talking, veg on the sofa with alcohol, chocolate and a box of tissues x x x

funtimewincies · 17/01/2009 13:06

Also just popped in check up on the news and I'm so sorry to hear that it's not to be wasabi . I found that a bit of a wait between the news and the D&C/ERPC was really helpful, as it stopped me feeling like I was losing control of the situation. By the time I went into hospital, I was ready and needed to say goodbye and move on.

Lots of hugs to you and your dp.

wasabipeanut · 17/01/2009 13:16

Thanks everyone, its really nice of you. I don't want to bring the thread down for want of a better expression.

Funtime - what you say makes sense. I'll see how I feel Mon/Tue and then decide. I guess because I've had this week to think about things I just want it finished. I feel the need to move on and try again and get back to normal I suppose.

One minute I'm crying, the next minute I'm just so angry. I want to smash everything up or scream out loud as it all just seems so bloody unfair.

Joolsiam · 17/01/2009 13:19

Don't worry about the thread - it is there for support, through good times AND bad xx

Broodzilla · 17/01/2009 15:38

wasabi, just wanted to say really sorry to hear your news. Wish I could think of something more comforting to say, but I can't... just know that there are so many of us out here in cyberworld thinking of you.

WanabeMum · 17/01/2009 16:19

Hi everyone,

I'm so sorry to hear your news wasabi, can't imagine what you're going through. Wish there was something i could say to make it easier for you but there's not. I hope you get your closure when the time comes. Thoughts are with you honey and Jools is right, the thread is a support group throughout all the twists and turns that is TTC.
Take care xxxxxxxxx
