Please don't be offended if you're not named, you're still welcome, I just have a rubbish memory. I can see a couple of you on November thread but there's a whole load of people not there. Just wondering if you wanted a little thread to keep in touch?

Headfairy - just replied to you on grapefruit thread. So sorry about your sad news. Was hoping a new thread might provide you with support from old friends.

And Sunnydale, I know you're wary of new threads, so though you might also like the company of old friends.

Wishing and Bubble having your weird long cycles and missing whole month's threads, thought this might be one for you too.

So what do you say? I'll start a list just in case:

Issy, ttc#1, cycle 14, ucl 28ish, cd 23/10dpo, mc Mar08, cp Sep08, IVF in April.

HF I am going to try for a bit of a BDathon (without lettting on to DP) so that hopefully only the very best man wins ifswim !!

Hi everyone - thanks for letting me hijack your lovely thread. I am 'not' trying this month too. no sticks or nuffink cos pretty regular usually, but have found myself marking good BD days in my diary. old habits etc. Really do need to wax 'downstairs' by the end of the week well it's that or plaits and beads!!
sorry serious TMI'ing there. I blame it on the detox.

sifuentes · 16/02/2009 12:59

ps headF v v v of your chocolate.

HeadFairy · 16/02/2009 13:48

@ the beads! I just keep the lights down very low so dh can't see how much I've let myself go. A quick razz about with a razor down my legs is all I manage these days. To think, I was Mrs WaxEveryFourWeeks before ds came along

HeadFairy · 16/02/2009 13:50

Sifuentes... all gone! Was lovely

HeadFairy · 16/02/2009 13:52

for sifuentes

sifuentes · 16/02/2009 13:54

me too headfairy! well, before winter came along anyway.

and [hmmph emoticon] at you for not saving me even one little piece!!!

HeadFairy · 16/02/2009 14:28

I'm off to the shops, I'll get you a giant bar of G&Bs Sifuentes... any preference on flavour? I can recommend the minty one

sifuentes · 16/02/2009 14:41

ahhh the minty one... j'adore...

thanks HF I'm happy now

girlwithacurl · 16/02/2009 16:10

i just bought a big bar of 70% G&B, going to make my DP some chocolate brownies tonight as he has been in the wars a bit and needs cheering up. Yum...

HeadFairy · 16/02/2009 16:14

Aw, aren't you sweet? I'm making chicken burgers for dh as it's his favourite meal, I could never make him brownies though, they'd be gone before they'd cooled

bubblebell1 · 16/02/2009 17:23

hi all!!

well went to the dr and she said that there is no need to worry about last weeks blood tests as ive had a +ive hpt. she said a line is a line and refered me for antenatal care.... i still cant believe this has happened. i am thining that my BFP is fake. she changed my anti bs and while i was in the chemist i got a boots own test and it says BFN.. whats that all about???

twiglettini · 16/02/2009 17:45

So bubble, just to get this straight. When you went in there, did she tell you that you were preg because of a test that she'd done? Don't worry about the boots test, it maybe is not as sensitive as the others.

Huge congratulations - that is really exciting

sifuentes · 16/02/2009 17:53

poor bubble what a head f*- can you see an EPU person straight away? maybe you need to get your hands on a prog supplement?

I ain't no expert so I'll shh now, but fingers crossed you just ovulated much later than you thought or something very straightforward like that? xx

bubblebell1 · 16/02/2009 18:03

thanks girls.. im an emotional wreck.. it doesnt help that im feeling F*$king awful with this chest infection.

right from the top......

faint line on ebay cheapie this morn. came up straight away.

peein like a pensioner on a coach trip all day but thats coz im ill.

dr said that i didnt need to do a test with her as mine was prob the same as hers.

she said my fms was the best specimen as hcg is most concentrated and that if there is a line on my test then im pregnant! she has passed me over to antenatal...

so me being silly bought another test and that was bfn.

is this normal?

[desperate emotion]

sifuentes · 16/02/2009 18:35

yes! just means levels still climbing and in my todally non expert opinion and in old fashion speak you are less far gone than you think?

Can you do that one that talks to you or something? I can't remember what it's called.

sifuentes · 16/02/2009 18:37

also lol at the pensioner on a coach trip description. If you are weeing that much then not that surprising that a late afternoon test is neg.

Anyway I have a home to get to so i'll be off and take my fake internet medical diploma with me.

Get well soon. x

bluesatinsash · 16/02/2009 21:32

bubble - I'm totally chewing my nails for you!! I think sifuentes is right you may be pg but not as far on as you think - bleeding norra - I say get thee to the EPU and get a scan. I had one at 5 weeks with DS and saw sac and even tiny heartbeat..

sifuentes - lol at your fake medical diploma!

Headfairy - that chocolate photo was almost pornographic I've come over all peculiar pecular funny

bubblebell1 · 17/02/2009 07:37

Morning girls!

im still hijacking your beautiful no obsessing thread with my sob story.

i have just about had enough of this b*&%s£&t!! the other boots test this morn is also negative.

i feel so stupid. do you think my ebay batch were faulty... 1 got 5 hpts and 3 of the 5 have had faint pos lines on the last of which is darker than the others. the other 2 were just clear like all the others ive used over the last few months.

whats going on.. surely a fms would show a positive if the ebay 1s were picking it up.

i am going to call the dr when it opens but i feel so embarrased and upset i just dont know why this would happen to me. i feel like a prize prat saying errr can u not refer me to antenatal now.. looks like im not pregnant.

maybe a break from ttc is what i need. i mean this has been so upsetting that i dont think i could actually cope with anymore upset. the whole yes your are pregnant o er no your not really tips you over the edge... im sure you all know this. you have all experienced a loss and thats what makes me feel such a fraud that i mite not of actually been pregnant and im this upset.

im sorry to keep on. thanks for all your help and advice... i dont know what i would of done without u xxxxx

HeadFairy · 17/02/2009 08:07

Bubble, so sorry you're going through this horrendous up and down saga. Can you go back to the docs and ask them to do hCG tests 48 hours apart? I can't remember if you've already had them done, but that's really the best way to tell as your hCG levels double every 48 hours if you are pregnant. I would keep pushing for some answers. Sending you (((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))

bubblebell1 · 17/02/2009 08:24

Thanks HF

i had a HCG blood test taken yest so will see what the results of that are when they are back. then i suppose i will see either way.

i know it sounds daft but i just dont think i am.. i think the tests are faulty and im right in thinking i didnt ovulate . time will tell i guess.

you are all so lovely..

how are all of you?

HF how is the house move/ plans coming along?

girlwithacurl · 17/02/2009 09:03

oh bubble how awful, you must be going crazy. Please do NOT worry what the dr thinks. They will understand and part of their job is to reassure and give you answers. There is no point you sitting at home working yourself up. When will you get the blood test results?

I am ok, poor DP is still under the weather, although the brownies did cheer him up a bit. I need him in tip top condition in a week or so when I get close to ov'ing (not that I am counting of course ).

HeadFairy · 17/02/2009 10:26

Oh good, I'm glad you've had your hCG levels checked, it's agonising to have to wait 48 hours but it should give you a definitive answer, so much better than all this maybe, maybe not, which must be torturing you.

The house sale is going well, we've had all our pictures done, we'll be on right move tomorrow (argh!) I'd better get my skates on and get a solicitor sorted

bubblebell1 · 17/02/2009 10:41

moving house and ttc... HF are you mental

ive got my nephew again today. my sister has a new job and has asked me if i would look after her lil boy 3 days a week. trying to keep 3 boys occupied during half term is hard work

HeadFairy · 17/02/2009 11:49

I'm quite relaxed about the whole house move thing... we're in a flat at the moment and I'm so fed up of lugging shopping up the stairs that I'm really looking forward to moving, and I can't wait to have a garden. We've got a roof terrace but it's not the same... poor ds was running about up there this morning when I was putting the washing out, but I thought how lovely it'll be for him to have a garden to play footy in. I think it'll start getting stressful when we find somewhere amazing and can't sell our place. I keep chanting my mantra "there's no such thing as the perfect house" cos I found out the hard way last time if you set your heart on a house and you can't sell your current place, and you watch your dream house sell to someone else, it's heart breaking. So, I'm keeping super cool... getting bogged down in the minutiae at the moment, HiPs, solicitors, leasehold agreements blah blah blah

Have a lovely day with your nephew bubble... it sounds like you've got your hands full. Maybe I'm fooling myself, but don't little boys just need a football and a park to entertain themselves for hours? At least it's finally getting warmer and it's not raining! DS is having his nap now, but we're off to the park as soon as he's had lunch, so he can burn off some energy!

bubblebell1 · 17/02/2009 12:05

i hope you sell your place quickly HF and get a lovely garden for your ds.

these boys would love it at the park but i just cant chase about after them, i end up coughing everywhere. i will take them down there tho if i feel up to it later in the week.

bloodtest results are in.... i asked the receptionist she said 'yes they are normal no further action!' i said 'what normal im pregnant or normal im not pregnant???' she said 'o er i dont know'... so i have to wait for the duty dr to have a look at the results and then phone me back... i hope its soon. its driving me round the twist.
