Emmsy's onwards & upwards part four.... more BFP's please!!

[MummyLovesSadie]

Just trying on Barbie's shoes for size as we are desperate for a new thread & needs must...... blimey aren't your feel small!!

mls are you mad, I don't plan on doing this again!!!!!!The stress is too much, and 2 boys will be enough methinks
Could you come round to mine and do my housework? Dh spent yesterday stripping wall paper and knocking down coving, there is dust and crap everywhere. He's now gone for a walk up a mountain, but will be back soon to carry on, so I am sitting in a pit trying to study Fourier series!

Hmmmmm why is everyone on mn having their houses renovated?!

Methinks tis you that is mad - I've just googled 'Fourier Series' & this is what it came up with:

'A Fourier series decomposes a periodic function or periodic signal into a sum of simple oscillating functions, namely sines and cosines'

YOU WOT?????

Morning ladies, just wanted to let you all know I had my fourth 'sanity' scan this morning and all well . Baby very active, two arms and legs, measuring 11+1 . I was so nervous as its DS's birthday party on Sat and my last mmc was two days before xmas and the thought of having bad news again before a celebration.... but anyway its all good. DH and me are finally starting to believe this is our time for happiness but I'm still going to be ultra cautious and just taking things one day at a time. I do have a definite bump now which is lovely .

Still getting a booking scan in a couple of weeks and I'm still due on Christmas Day which will just be the best way to replace last year's xmas heartbreak. God does indeed work in mysterious ways...

Sorry for me post - as you were!

I know mls I don't get it either, I'm about to google it too to see if it gets any clearer

Hiya blue wow can't believe you're at 11 weeks already, well done you. You'll be joining us bigpanters very soon, and you have a wee bump too. I'm really happy for you

vjay you must pee on them at precisely 11.47am and you must pee on all four at once

Alternatively - you can pee on one for the next 4 times you go to the loo - and scientifically analyse and differences - although probably wouldn't be any

mls the spider must be given a funeral... or cremated - as you prefer

blue that is excellent news!

lol iggy

Blue you brought a tear my eye reading your post. I am so so happy for you I so hope you can start enjoying the pregnancy now though I know you will only really relax when the baby pops out

VJ keep those sticks, they will be a funny reminder when you are holding that little baby in your arms Or if you really want to do some scientific experiment, can you do one in the morning, one at lunch, one mid afternoon and one in the evening? I think if you're pregnant the opks confuse LH with the pregnancy hormone, so they should show a stronger line in the morning if you are preggers... I think!!! And a stronger line at lunchtime if you're ovulating. Oh god I am losing the plot, MUST STOP TRYING TO USE OPKS AS PREGNANCY TESTS!!!!

4ever you work too hard girl. Save that energy for BD'ing

sabs helloooo what was your pregnancy moment? How are things going with the work situation?

Barbie Maybe this is a good time to negotatiate as they must be worried you might leave too. No sign of AF for me yet either, though according to last month's cycle it won't come till Sat. I'm starting to get hopeful again though I know I shouldn't. Roll on 7pm when DH gets home and I can test

Jools I know what you mean about three times a month. Last year we were typical honeymoon period, now it is all about baby making, and poor DH refuses to do in the second half of the month just in case

Big waves to MLS neeko badmermaid cupcake and iggy

Afternoon - just!

Blue Great news. Really pleased for you. Keep resting though.

Curly Can't believe you still haven't tested. Well done.

Sabs we missed you and want the pg story!

MLS Hoovering at 5am? Hope you nap when DD does.

Vjay What do you mean there'll be no more? You can't trust those hormone y'know...

Iggy you sound full of nonsense today and have made me laugh. Keep it up!

Cupcake He's definitely a keeper. Sounds like he'll be a good dad.

4ever can't you slip some of the work onto your colleagues' desks when they're not looking? Have you started POAS yet?

Had a significant temp rise this morning. A couple more and I'm definitely on the 2WW

curly test

just got back from accupuncture. It really does make me feel ace I have just had my uterus strenghtend and also my blood strengthened. jools I would really suggest you try some I knw I am a bit evangelical about it but it really is fab.

blue yeah girl I have been thinking of you and am so pleased that all is well. Hope your ds has a fab birthday on saturday too.

vjay I so have sympathy our kitchen cum dining room cum office pile of rubble and destruction has I fear been mothballed as it is now boating season and dh has suddenly gotten distracted.

mls gets out loud inhalor 'I said relax'

4ever hope you are getting through the unfair work load.x

sabs hope you are ok we are sitting comfortably whenever you want to tell your story

graciehope you are ok and kate

and especially moon and her dh hope you are muddling through as well as possible in this awful week, my thoughts and hugs go out to you.xx

Oh yeah sabs what was your pg moment?

Mermaid How often do you go to acupuncture?

morning neeko are you on lunch First of all I went weekly for 5 sessions and then it went to every 3 weeks. She works it around my cycle. It has definately helped with my hormonal angst and it honestly does not hurt.
blue got hers on the nhs I had to pay for mine so check to see if you can get it free first. Nice to hear you temp went up fingers crossed.x

Not lunch, just skiving
I'll wait and see what happens in 2 weeks and then look into it if I still need to. Building her hopes up? Me? Never!

Oooh you chatty ladies! So glad for Blue my heart panged with happiness for you reading that hon! Brave mermaid! Do you have pinpricks in you after?

Working like a trojan here, blummin cow givin me all her work! Its only 2 of us do what we do & work is all on database so cant really sneak it back, oh well! Just as well im a master at my job!

Right ladies im off for a bikini wax in prep for next weeks daily bd!

Morning everyone ...actually it's afternoon now isn't it!

YAY Neeko for the temp rise!! I am excited now! (And also quite proud we worked out you were having breakthrough bleeding. Does that just make this an extra long cycle then?) And aw, thanks re my DH...I'm sure he will be a v good daddy too just really hope he gets to actually be one!

Blue soooo lovely to 'see' you more relaxed and such great news about the scan and the bump! Yay! Really hope you enjoy the party, and that is SO lovely that new bubba will do its part in replacing the pain of last Christmas
You and Scorpio are both due Christmas then? Yay!

Curly you're killing us here...the countdown is on!

Neeko that is great news, sorry that is great news. Don't worry I don't think anyone heard. I'm very curious about this temping business. Does it go up at ovulation and then stay the same till AF? If you get up the duff, does it stay up for nine months?

Yay mermaid you are brave. I don't believe it doesn't hurt though

4ever I got laser on my bikini line and underarms last year. Very relieved not to be waxing any more!!

cupcake it'll happen. Some day soon you and DH will look back and not be able to remember life before baby

Ok, just about five hours to go till I test. Im pretty sure that I'm not pregnant though so nobody (especially me ) should get their hopes up

VJ, DIY is good! Every month I use the stuff I haven't done yet as one of my reasons why it's okay not to be pregnant!

Afternoon everyone, I'm sorry if I worried you. It was a very last minute trip to visit a friend in Hull and I wanted to get on the motorway before the traffic got bad, so I just wrote that quick note on MN so you wouldn't wonder where I'd disapeared to.

I jut spoke to MrsKate she is in bed poorly sick. Says she caught swine flu in Wales! She says to say hello to everyone.

Blue fantastic news about your scan! Lovely to hear you have a bump and everything is fine.

You lot have really done lots of chatting in the past few days, just heading back to read it.

Thanks curly... now mermaid, can I borrow the white coat for a minute? Significant shift in temp for 3 or more days means you have ovulated...it stays up and then drops just before AF (usually one or two days before it, it's a great indicator of AF coming!) if you're up the duff it carries on rising a bit and stays up until day 42.. I'm not actually sure if it then stays up the whole way through pregnancy but I would guess yes.
Obviously temperature can be affected by loads of stuff like illness, weather etc so has to be taken same time every day, after more than 3 hours sleep, and you'd need a few months' worth of charts to know exactly what was happening with your cycle...

phew...

Glad you're back Gracie and send our love to poor Kate!

I think that a bikini wax is way more painful that accupuncture

glad you are back gracie hmmm...hessle road the perpetual smell of the birdseye factory and the adelphi nightclub was that its name? a bit foggy now and the flyover is the only hill for miles around.

cupcake put your coat back on missus I gotta some questions. How come I always get hot and bothered during AF? Can you get a thermometer on babymad and which is the best one?

welcome back gracie you had us worried.

Curly - from my own experience, I get hot flushes and night sweats in the run-up to AF, but they do stop once she gets going, so am not sure why you get hot and bothered - maybe it is just anger with the witch ??

As for temps once you are PG - I seem to remember having discussions on my old a/n thread where all of us were feeling cold and sitting bundled up in more jumpers than everyone else, so I'm guessing your temp drops after that 42 day high.

OK - back to work

Curly so glad that Cupcake's answering your question as I'm just a rookie. Tell me all about lasering though to pass the time til you test

Welcome back Gracie. Missed you. Is your news sinking in yet? Send MrsKate a hug from me.

Cupcake I was very excited about my temp this morning and it's all thanks to you as I thought I was out for this month. I'm now thinking that stress at work/marking/DH being away etc might have delayed things?! If I am pg, I might have to call the baby Cupcake in your honour!
