gingermumi bugger that sock drawer - snap on the BFN and yes its early days......very actually
Yes you are right about being fobbed off, I think now i have a BFN I feel more like doing something.

Aww bad luck ginger, like you say though, still very early days so fingers crossed fro next month - you can practice your gourmet style!

mermaid Aww bless you for making me feel important! I know im lucky, its not 100% conf that job is mine yet, but as there are only 2 positions out of 11 to do what I do & only 2 of us that do it currently (Iv done it for 13 yrs) Im pretty hopeful, so fingers crossed..

Sooo as mermaid says mediums and acupuncture are next on the 'to try' list eh girls?! I know someone that has gone to one over the years so may get a number! We must only go to recommended ones though ok?!? (4ever goes into mummy mode!)

Didnt get to say yesterday, but so glad you have a nice long break booked blue specially as your MC happened every time you've had time off in the past.. You need a rest and lots of YOU time

Barbie hope your having fun with your mum! You been quiet so you must be!

Great idea about the doppler Vjay Id be the same! Remember hearing that Tomkat(!) got a scanner - we can all relate to that cant we?! Id be up EPU every day if I could when PG!

Big waves and much love to the rest of you lovely Emmsys ladies! xxx

Awww crap mermaid Got really excited for you when just re read your post & see you were delving into the look sock drawer .. Well if as you say it motivates you back to militantihaveaplanmermaid then use that energy and get on the phone! Maybe we need to visit mediums & stick needles in ourselves to be in optimum prime condition first eh?! Sending you a big HUG! xxxxxxxxx

optimum prime condition oh my god I'm nearly 41 how did this happen!!
Maybe we could all buy ourselves a joint scanner we could just send it off around the country? Right it is seriously time I tried to apply myself to some work.

Hmmm not sure i'm quite optimum prime condition myself sweetie!!!! I just like the phrase since the Transformers film, it keeps coming back to me!!

Right must get on with work too!

for you mermaid. How early were you testing? what about you 4ever? Still a few more days to go so not giving up hope yet

classic! right ssshhhhh, work.

4ever is right, only go to psychics who come recommended, there are a lot of tricksters out there. Mine was £35 for 45 mins of Tarot cards, palmistry and crystal ball. She got things pretty spot on with my friends too, quite specific about things going on in their lives that couldn't be guessed. If anyones in the Midlands i'll give you her number.

Ginger - Rhubarb crumble sounds yummy!

x post - I just can't concentrate on work. ginger I think I am on a 26 day cycle so should be about 3rd. don't you just hate all those symptons which are so close? Never mind we just need try more gourmet sex earlier this time, I rather ran out of steam
gracie Yes it something to be careful with you are right, has it made you feel better?

Mermaid - yes I think it has made me feel a bit better. At least it has occupied my mind for the last 24hrs trying to analyse everything she said . Mermaid my day 28 is the 3rd too maybe you need to give your pregancy tests to 4ever and Barbie to guard like mine.

Don't give up hope Ginger its not over yet. Where on earth did I get my willpower from last time not to test till day 33 ?!!! I haven't a clue!

Ooooh mermaid gracie both on the 3rd? You are testing quite early then mermaid, you never know it may change, specially if your cycle ends up being 28 days! My 28th day is the 31st so am testing tonight. Its ritual to do it with DH! Ginger whens your 28th day? Theres hope for us all yet!

BTW - are you all using the first response 6 day early test kits?

I go out for the morning and you lots chatter and chatter!
We had the biggest thunder storm ever last night and now the weather is rubbish! there was even hail stones earlier its still warm though but no sun for my darling mummy
So gracie i think you will be pregnant and someone on here will find out the same time as you! .....lets hope so, 2 more of us crossed of the list.
Sorry for all the bfn.....step away from the clear blue ladies, its wayyyyyyyyyyyyy to early. Im sure some of us will have bpf soon.
I had to have a medical today, and they asked me to fill in a form about my periods, had to write down the date of last one....so silly me writes sept 08. the next question was
I know im not pregnant because
a) i dont see me husband
b) i stay away from my husband {grin]
c) i use condoms
d) other

So i put other, mc in sept......

Get called into a room for blood test and they sit you in a chair and strap your arm down everyone is watching...ouch

Then i had a longgggggg conversation because if the lack of periods, they suggest that im pregnant and cant have an xray until i have a test done, more waiting and it of course comes back negative so i go for an xray

So i havent got hiv and can stay in dubai......

oh Barbie what a fiasco! had to smile though!

4ever my 28th day is mon 30th. I have been using the tests i got online from babymad, they say 6 days from concpetion which isn't very helpful! They say they're the most accuate you can buy and are used by NHS! Have two more left so will do one at weekend and one monday i guess. was reading an article in mother and baby and started to cry (not me at all), thought it could be pg hormones for a brief moment but prob pmt! trying very hard not to assign every off moment to poss pg. Let us know how you get on

barbie - I don't know whether to or at your post - love the multiple choice bit but at them insiting you got tested before xray. Hope the weather improves for you and your Mum

ginger and mermaid - sorry about the BFN's but as barbie says 'step away from the first response' it could be too early... ginger your pie sounds my oh my!

gracie I got a wee shiver reading your psychic post...

4ever thanks for kind words about hols and mc and yes I'm truly looking forward to next week - no knicker checking required! (Well other than for EWCM . I'm due to ovulate on me and DH's anniversary next Thurs when we're away for the night so fingers crossed timing wise . He is happy as a sand boy as my fertile time just happens to be our week off and DS still naps during the way - go figure! The old peacock feathers wil be out.

mermaid - glad to hear your militant side is being dusted down, as ginger says they rely on us going 'oh, OK whatever' when we should be demanding their full attention and care.

oh I do go on sometimes, TTFN x

yeah I know, step away but I only did it cos everyone else was, 'mermaid is easily led and could do better at spelling'
barbie horrid medical forms - never heard of anyone having their arm strapped down before, come back everyones sunshine.
blue dust down those peacock feathers and have fun.

Thanks for the info about the doppler ginger, it's not arrived yet, I'm hoping it will get here tomorrow.

Been at work today and now totally shattered so off to make a cuppa and put me feet up

You wiggle that tailfeather blue - perfect timing for you will keep it all crossed (tho somewhat spoils the object!)

Oh barbie that sounds like my worst nightmare being very needlephobic & a bit claustrophobic! AGH! I think that calls for a nice bottle of wine with your mum!

Mermaid, ginger & gracie it aint over til the fat lady in big pants sings! So, away with the early tests and try again in a few days (says 4ever who is dashing home to do an early test )

And talking of vjaybigpants(!) you rest up and get DH to be your slave personal butler for the night!

Wish me luck girls - shall let you all know tomorrow!! xxxxxx Have a nice evening xxx

Good luck 4ever, DH is doing the shopping for me tonight, he is a love.

Good luck 4ever!!

My dh went outside earlier to put a can in the recyling bin and found a parcel in there.....it was my doppler. I felt such anxiety when I opened it but I got it on my tum and after about 20 mins found a galloping heartbeat yey . Both dh and ds had a listen, and I can't wipe the smile off my face, I just wanted to spread the joy to you girls, you'll all be hearing this soon I know it xxxxx

VJ- you go girl

ginger hard luck on the bfn but it is earleeee days. Don't give up hope. I'm on day 19 now so shouldn't test for another 10 days. One day behind Gracie and a day ahead of the lovely mermaid. It's funny how our cycles seem to be in tune with each other Fingers crossed for you honey Can I have some crumble??? Curly rubs her belly just thinking about ginger's rhubarb crumble

4ever I like the PLAN. Hopefully you won't need it though honey GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
I'm glad your job is safe. It shows how highly they regard you. And rightly so! If you're going to a medium in London can you let me know. I'm not sure about the needles but going to a medium sounds painless

Barbie I think getting pregnant is deserving of the name Barbiejuicybigpants Ah go on!!! No, I don't think I'm pregnant, the military operation failed miserably, but I would bet anything we will have bfps this month. Let's have some lovely Xmas babies on our forum. And well done on the driving girl I CANNOT BELIEVE they strapped you down for the HIV test. Were you looking super angry or something ???

mermaid they are rubbish. Go kick those doctors asses (not that I would, I'm a wimp )

VJ you are making me cry about your doppler. I'm so happy for you and thank you for sharing this with us. I know you probably hold back because you don't want to upset anyone but believe me, it gives us all hope.

Gracie I am seriously freaked out. How fab though. Where is this psychic???!!!

Blue So many people conceive on their hols, cos they're all relaxed. Have a wonderful time. Where are you going?

Curlyhopefullynotlittlepantsformuchlonger the psychic was on Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire border, this is her website.

Vjay The doppler sounds a lovely way to keep your mind at rest, how exciting!!

Just done nights with a friend of mine whose had 4 miscarriages including one at around 24 weeks, she has only one shift to go before going on maternity leave, she's 33 weeks pregnant. Not sure of the medical ins and outs but she's having a C section at 36 weeks. Lovely to see her so relaxed and happy after so much heartache over the last few years.

Night night! Off to bed.

Awww gracie tears stung my eyes reading about your friend, me & mermaid both had 4mc and to hear that it can work out is sooo very inspiring..

Same as curly hearing vjays doppler news made me all warm and incredibly broody too, so pleased hon..

Curly I have a friend (PG ex manager actually) who i'm gonna get medium details from so will let you know...

Well, the whole ttc on hol scenario appears not to have worked for us this time -ive (BFN?!) test sadly.. Really figured cos relaxed & lots of gourmet loving round the clock it might have been but its not. OV day was the day we flew home and felt OV pain the night before (i get it bad so dont need temps/charts etc) only thing is it can be so bad it can put me off BD so not good!

Anyway its made me decide to proceed with oth Gt Portland st LIT test. Thinking maybe its a sign?! Why wait to get PG & go wrong again before I do it? Gonna book consultaion & test ASAP before next OV!

Am also considering sending my NHS consultant a harsh e-mail as once again he has ignored my query re the LIT test, not even 'im sorry too busy to respond to mail' would be something, but to completely ignore is just rude. He also ignored my desperate plea's of how to obtain my NK test result which was done at his private practice & after several mails his secretary called to advise me, but again, just to say oh my secretary will contact you wouldnt hurt . Fair enough he is busy but he is our only source of hope and expertise when all else has failed so I'm pretty angry about it. (perhaps also tinged with dissapointment after BFN?!)

Sorry a bit me me me - love you all xxxx
