Oh antdamn your poor DP! Hilarious though.
Would love to have been a fly on that wall

bubblebell1 · 30/01/2009 09:53

Morning girls,

how are you all? all pg/af symptoms have gone. now have a sinking feeling that my af wont show for 3 months like last cycle and am confused and upset.

why / how can your body change so dramatically. i concieved 2 healthy children so quickly and am reeling at the fact ive only had 1 period since october so how on earth am i supposed to get pg?? sorry for the sob story.

oneyummymummy · 30/01/2009 12:50

bubble sorry to hear that..at least if you were having some symptoms you could know either way! It seems like it has been a weird month for a lot of us! Maybe there is something in the water....

I hope you get BFP or Af soon, so you don't have to wait for a long time again.

Im starting to worry a bit now, as I wanted to loose some wieght before falling PG again, so have been trying to loose weight and TTC but not loosing as much as I thought I might! It is all my own fault, DD is 18months now! I was a size 8 before falling with her, now Im a 12, not that Im massivly overweight, but would like to start this PG lighter, so that I can try not to get SPD again, as this was horrendous last time, and what with weighing more before falling Pg this time, I think this would be even worse .

bubblebell1 · 30/01/2009 13:45

yummy ive read that spd is worse in subsiquent pregnancies regardless of weight. but if being smaller makes you feel better in yourself it can only be a good thing try not to worry.

oneyummymummy · 30/01/2009 17:07

OH NOOOOO! I knew you could get it in subsiquent PG's but thought it would maybe be better or at least not start earlier if you are a healthy weight. I know its to do with the ligaments, but obviously the weight pressing on this makes it worse! Well I still want to loose weight, its healthier for me and baby!

lam81 · 30/01/2009 21:45

oneyummymummy · 02/02/2009 08:15

SNOWED IN! But I work from home so

Still going to make a snowman or 'noman' as DD says!

Got my diary out, plotting all CM, mood change etc etc... so hopfully be more aware of whats happening this month!

Good luck everyone.......happy snow days....

Antdamm · 02/02/2009 10:06

hey ladies,

Hope you had a nice weekend. Its snowing here as i expect it is in uk.
Over the last week, i had some brown blood and what i thought was spotting, but was only there when i wiped (TMI) - twice. So, today i took a test - but i think i managed to bugger it up or it was a dud again.

I peed into a cup - plastic not drinking- and dipped hpt into said pee and waited 6-7secs and put cap on. I lay the test down flat - a really really feint line appeared in the first window and then 30secs later the control line appeared.

So, again I have to buy another test just to make sure!!!
I dont feel pregnant - no symptoms to speak of really - except from feeling a bit sleepy. When i was pg with my son, i didnt have any symptoms til i was 14wks - which is when the ms kicked in. Up til that point I just took the hpt's word for it.

oneyummymummy · 02/02/2009 11:46

Congrats ant sounds like you are PG!

Loads of snow here, been out in it with DD all morning! Shes tucked up warm in bed now!
Where abouts are you?

Antdamm · 02/02/2009 11:51

Hi yummy,

I am in Ireland - its bucketting down now - dp had to leave car on hill as road was too icy to travel down!! I have made a snowman, angels, pile of snowballs for dp's return and now Im warming my soup up for our lunch

I am really tryin not to get my hopes up about the pg - I know the second I do, it will go horribly wrong

sammysam · 03/02/2009 09:19

Hi ladies-just checking in to see how you all are!?
I'm still sending you lots of positive vibes....
I'm still terrified not helped by trying to sort out my first apt with the midwife and her saying we have a while to sort it out and that often it's best not to do it too early as it is tempting fate [worry]
I feel like absolute crap though-morning sickness has kicked in in full force from the moment I wake til i go to sleep...... I remember it is bad but not quite this bad-at least with dd I had the mornings feeling ok
Keeping my fingers crossed for you all x x x
Ps I'm loving all the gorgeous snow

oneyummymummy · 03/02/2009 09:36

Hi ant and sammy

Still lots of snow here, going to go out with DD in a bit again!

Sammy I can remember the sickness with DD, I had the type that went as soon as I ate something
(I suppose if your gonna have it, its the best type to have) And I suppose with your second, youve still got to look after DC#1 . At least when its your first, you can have ly-in's and veg on sofa if you need to!

katster37 · 03/02/2009 09:51

Morning ladies, it is so good to catch up on all your news - ANt congratulations, this sounds so promising!!
yummymummy aaaw at your DD and the 'noman'!
My school is closed today, hoorah! It was shut yesterday as well although actually I couldn't have got there because there are no trains/buses/tubes! Am just gutted that DH has managed to get to work today - we had a lovely day in the park yesterday, and BD-ed (not in the park!)
Am actually managing to feel a LOT more positive this week although v confused as I have had + OPKs Sat, SUn, Mon AND today... I have never managed to get a + before, so was initially pleased but am not sure what 4 in a row could mean. Esp as I normally OV on CD 18 ish and today it is CD 22 and still getting +s. Grrrrrrr. I also read a string of positive OPKs could be a sign of PCOS which is a bit scary.
Right, hope you are all enjoying the snow. It's gorgeous and sunny here, I want to go out!

Rtuff · 04/02/2009 09:52

Has anyone got any tips on conceiving or can anyone point me in the right direction of a good thread been ttc #2 for 9 months now, and getting very frustrated!
Thanks!

oneyummymummy · 04/02/2009 10:19

Hi Rtuff Everyone is impressed with fertility friend so far. I did sign up myself, but to be honest I havnt really used it yet. Everyone else seems to live by it....it might be worth a try if you havnt already!

Some of the other ladies on this thread know a lot more than I do, Im new to all this TTC stuff, so learning it all myself.

Good Luck

oneyummymummy · 04/02/2009 10:21

Sorry katster I hope you get the answers you need, I saw your other thread...I hope people are pointing you in the right direction. Ive never used OPK's so I can't offer any advice but hopefully you won't need any and will have a BFP soon

totalmisfit · 04/02/2009 13:00

Hi all, have been reading this thread with interest and lots of sympathy - I'm 27 and this is my first month ttc #2.

AF is due around the 13th so i'm holding my breath. Saying that i had a couple of tests in the house and couldn't resist doing one ridiculously early the other day. Got a BFN of course and have been wandering around really pissed off with the world since then.

DH has been telling me not to be so silly but i don't think he understands the pressure we ladies feel when ttc.

bubblebell1 · 04/02/2009 13:51

Hey everyone... hope your all ok.. nothing new to report here but wanted to say hi and im thinking of you all.. xxxxxxx

Antdamm · 04/02/2009 14:52

hello ladies,

I too have nothing to report - still feeling no symptoms. Hopefully going to get another test on friday. DP not convinced by previous test.

Im tryin to see if i could get some tests delivered cheaply to ireland, but i think theres no chance.

Hope everyone has been having a good day.
The snow went away yesterday morning and hasnt returned its just cold and a bit damp now

oneyummymummy · 04/02/2009 16:01

bubble still no AF or BFP??

totalmisfit men never really do understand do they! Godd luck and baby dust to you.

ant No snow? We've still got heaps of the stuff here! Infact i cannot even see my road....its just all one white path! It is turning into white ice though, with some cars going over it and compacting it., but my front garden still has at least a foot of snow on it still!

bubblebell1 · 04/02/2009 16:19

nope no BFP and no AF hoping something will happen soon either way.. im goin bonkers just waiting
