I have heard that about symptoms too. I think for now you just have to trust in the positive test and relax (yes I know it's not easy)
4ever I have a Henry. Want to borrow him?

Neeko · 16/04/2009 09:50

We love the silliness. It helps to balance us out and keep us -almost- sane!

mermaidspurse · 16/04/2009 09:51

is there going to be room for 4ever to get in that cubicle with hetty and henry in there?

I have to do some work, just cleared up breakfast things to find that dh and ds put blue food colouring in their porridge this morning. I am living with mad men.

I have this vision of jools dressed up in smart suit juggling her blackberry in a business meeting reading abourt henry and hetty. shall be chuckling all day.

barbie1 · 16/04/2009 09:54

mermaid i want to live in your house, sounds as mad as me....i went to the beach yesterday with a hello kitty bucket and spade and made sandcastles while the kids looked on

i too have to get somethings done....dh will be home soon and the weekend begins....back soon byeeeeeeee x

Hehe - no please don't revert, I like silliness

A friend of mine has a cat called Hetty who is terrified of hoovers - must send her that link !!

I know there is nothing I can do - no point even having a scan before 6 weeks, so I do need distraction

Am going away on hols on Mon 27th, back on the Sat - so that should keep me sane (and sober now !) whilst I wait to get to a point where an early scan would see something.

I just need to get really busy at work and keep out and about for the next ten days so I don't start brooding and obsessing.

It is just strange because I just KNEW that something was up, only a very few days after ovulation - was nervous because I thought it might be a CP but was certain that something was happening.

Now, there is nothing - not even hormonal tears at vaguely sad news items ! I seem to be permanently wandering round in a state of mild euphoria and grinning to myself like a loon at "my little secret"

4everhopeful · 16/04/2009 10:02

Awwww Hetty & Henry are def coming with me & barbies list & an OPK stick to the toilets this afternoon.. I'm sure my colleagues will be highly disturbed by this image but Emmsys all around the UK and Dubai will be laughing merrily!

OK def time to work!!!!!!!!! Love ya!!!! xxxxxxxxx

kate030284 · 16/04/2009 10:25

barbie1 · 16/04/2009 10:42

mermaid i have stalked kate on fb and she has left for the shops! we have 15 mins before we need to check here again, just time to do some washing!

OP posts:
mermaidspurse · 16/04/2009 10:43

ok, running to the washing machine now.

bakingqueen · 16/04/2009 10:52

Morning ladies is it everyones washing day? Just put my washing on before I came on here to avoid my dissertation
Barbie loved your opk testing guide it made me chuckle x

bluesatinsash · 16/04/2009 10:54

ooh Kate - throw a sweatshirt on and get to the chemist ....

Morning all, this may be disjointed as DS is playing at my feet - they don't call them ankle biters for nothing you know .

Loving the Netty photos barbie - didn't know they did a girlie one! LOL at you wearing your suntan bikini when you were naked - have fun filling in the spaces with your fake tan. I think that's a great plan to put obvious ttc on the back burner and seeing how it goes, you know its a cliche but everyone says its when you stop thinking about it... I'm sure having that week off when I was OVul did it for me this month, I was much more relaxed and just enjoying spending time with DH rather than "you in bed NOW"!

Jools please don't stress yourself out too much re: lack of symptoms. You do have a BFP as well as lack of AF to show for it! I don't have anything either really and didn't with DS until 6 weeks then it was vomit central yet I did with last mc even after the mmc was confirmed (still felt so sick that I couldn't even console myself with glass of wine). To summarise symptoms or lack of can be so misleading so try to ignore them!

Hi curly -lovely to hear from you and thanks for lovely message.

Sorry TEW got you babyinacorner - like your things I can do this month list...

Hey Neeko - school hols nearly over, hope your squeezing every last drop out of them. Are you a primary or secondary teacher? sorry to read you had a bit of a teery night last night, how are you today?

Mermaid - got a wee chilll reading about your acup. and them 'knowing' about your physical and emotional trauma. Hope you reap the benefits.

Hi 4ever - great news about your test results timescale - roll on May (if you can abstain/unroll the condom before then . So got my fingers crossed for you.

Mollie - hope your doing OK, must send you a message on fb so we can exchange how terrified we both are!

Better go DS's patience has ran out - apologies in advance for my spelling!

Will catch up tonight x

monkeybumsmum · 16/04/2009 10:55

Good morning!

Barbie Hello! How are you doing? Sounds lovely re beach, but poor you getting burnt! What's the temperature over there? I've been thinking about vm too, and hope that whatever she's doing/wherever she is she's okay.
Btw I love the instructions Am thinking of using OPK's next month, if so shall print 'em out and stick on bathroom wall (The instructions, not the OPK's) LOL ro hoover!

Blue Thanks, and here's to a sticky one for you Good luck!

Sabs Glad to hear that the sickness has eased up, it makes such a difference when you finlly start to feel better doesn't it!

Lion Your scan sounded like it was lovely How fab that you can feel the baby - goodness me I would love to feel that again I'm afraid I'm not sure why you've had the amnio but I hope the next two weeks don't drag too much while you're waiting to get the results. I hope all is well x

mermaid Thanks, and hope all is going well for you too! Glad to hear the acu session went well, and although I didn't hear about the car crash when it happened and I hope you're okay... You must've been very shaken, were you hurt?

neeko Thanks for the welcome! re my name, twas in a moment of...shall we say 'inspiration' . Good luck and I hope all the bd'ing pays off

jools I so hope everything goes well for you this time round. It's awful running to the loo all the time to check, but it does go with the territory I suppose. Wouldn't it be great to be able to fast forward a few weeks
Re different symptoms this time round, I would take that as being encouraging, after all if your hair stopped falling out last time and is still falling out now, then it could be that the conception this time was a good one, and just indicative of it being a different pregnancy.

mm Hello to you too It's nice to be back on here, but I haven't a hope of being able to keep on top of all the activity! Will try to pop in when I can and say hello! Think you're right, it does seem like there's been a lot of lovely news on here. Long may it continue (and may it rub off on me too please!) Where are you by the way? Am presuming on holiday somewhere? Hope you're having a fab time!

Hi Gracie good luck getting dh to perform, I have exactly the same problem What is it with men? They complain they don't get enough then when it's put on a plate for them they turn it down
I have started to ,erm, not lie, but just not tell the truth about when I'm ov'ing... I just pretend I'm feeling a bit 'frisky' Must be tough having to wake up to do it though!

MLS Good luck this month. It's a devil of a job trying to stay away from those blasted HPT's. DH has banned me from using them

Hi bakingqueen I'm liking that name Sorry to hear about your mc What a lovely GP to write to you! Good luck with your dissertation...

Kate Gosh, that must be tough encountering pg women at work. Good luck this morning!

4ever Hi! How are you? Can I ask what the treatment is that you're having? Hope you're alright x

Phew... (wipes brow) that was a long one, and am positive that I have missed people out, so forgive me if it's you!
Am off to tidy the house now as have friends coming to stay this afternoon x
