STEP AWAY from the First Response and noone will get hurt - Part III

[PistachioLemon]

A new thread to discourage early testing.

So, STEP AWAY ladies!

Good look nunnie, you don't have that long to wait now
On the subject of coffee, do you avoid it anyway when you're TTC? I don't, but I have tried to cut down a bit, I think it is supposed to reduce your chance of conceiving.

No I drink it by the barrel load, I have been trying for so long now, I needed some pleasures back, alcohol and coffee were the two I opted for.

Light headed (new symptom) sitting down!

I drink alcohol on days 1-7. coffee/tea in moderation , say 2 or 3 cups a day. Coffee has some benefits - protects you from alzheimer's

Hi, Well I have given up for the forseeable..

We got bad news about our wee man, got his EEG results bk and they were really bad and we were told.... when I kept asking the consultant, that Jack only has 50% chance of getting to 40 yrs and 50% of not reaching that age

Can happen anytime from nw til then, so needless to say ths has put me right off having another

We are devastated...Jack's epilepsy won't do it, although there are always risks with any1 who has seizures, but Jack has a brain malfunction due to genetic disorder, which has no name and Jack is only 1 of 5 to have ths in the country and illnesses, such as bad colds, chest infections etc could kill him

Can't believe I am even writing those words

Consultant did say that Jack is on the very good end of the spectrum as he is mobile-ish and is not tube fed etc

I am in a world of my own right nw, a terrible place to be, believe me, I cannot pray any harder and am soo hoping Jack proves them all wrong

I'm so so sorry pme. I hope he proves to be on the good side of that 50% and lives to be 89. But I cannot imagine how you are feeling.

Thanku renerusso, bn sitting having a good cry just nw

I am praying they r wrong

Of course they could be wrong. And even if they are right, there's still a 50% chance he does live to 40 and beyond. That is quite a good chance. How is his quality of life? Can he lead a fairly normal life despite the seizures?

Not really renerusso, he does a good quality of life tho, doesn't talk, or walk and won't walk for a while, was saying a few words before meds were increased nd then he stopped saying them, meds make him drowsy

But def progresing, weight bearing now and also think he said "mum" tonight when I said it, think he copied it

I can't pray any harder xxx

sorry, i can't pray but wishing you peace and positive vibes x

PME i am so sorry to hear your news about Jack! I wish i could say something to make you fele better but there is nothing in this world that will do, other than the Dr telling you he was wrong. You know we are all here for you if you need a rant or to talk or anything!! I'll happily give you my e-mail addy etc if you need to talk! xx

Nunnie symptom spotting seems to be going very well how long now till 2 ww is over? I must catch up on everyones posts will have a look at them now!

I am so sorry PME, I can't begin to imagine how you are feeling

iaatcey, my 2ww will either be over Fri,Sat or Sunday but I am camping this weekend so I will put money on the arrival of the witch she always comes when it is inconvenient (which is all the time).

I have been here before I like spotting symptoms, but I don't get my hopes up tbh, they can all be explained by something else but I like spotting so here goes!

Mouth ulcer that only last a day and half, never had that before, they always last 10+ days very bizzare, so that is now a symptom as there is no other explanation for it coming and going so quick.

ooh ulcer not heard of that one before although id not heard of increased earwax as a symptom will i joined mumsnet!!

So if your camping this weekend i assume your waiting till Monday to test?

Keep us posted! I'd love you to get BFP!

Must dash work at 3 an bits to do before i go! Take care everyone! x

PME - thoughts are with you - can't imagine how you are feeling but we are all here for you.

Nunnie - Glad to see that sympyon spotting is not dead.
Iaatcey - how are you doing?? Got my 20 week scan on weds!

No testing for me till I am at least 1 week late!

Did that souind convincing?

Jocey, blimey 20 weeks already doesn't time fly

Hey Nunnie - I'm as convinced as you are......

Where is everyone, I am about to do something stupid and get a BFN and cry! STOP ME NOW!!!

don't do it nunnie. STEP AWAY now. You know it would be better to wait. Spend the money instead on a nice take away cappuccino and chocolate brownie What are your symptoms?

Lots

nausea
sore boob (only one)
crampy
tiredness
off coffee
irritable
heightened sense of smell.

I am so weak well as expected BFN, so thats me out for another month.
On the plus side I can drink at my 30th

pme - I will be in ntouch through msn, for any of you my msn addy is [email protected].

Nunnie sorry about your BFP but maybe its just a bit to early for you test again Monday but in meantime have a fabby weekend camping!!

Joycey wow 20 weeks already! Time really has flown by - how are you coping with everything?? I dont have any more scans now till 20 weeks but on a plus note thats now less than 9 weeks away only! Im 11+1 today

ok guys one more thing please please dont criticise me for this i am ashamed enough that i did it but proud enough to say today is Day 3 of no smoking! I just could not give it up even after what id gone through before so Sunday decided Monday would be the day! I am so ashamed that I did smoke and thought having given up the drink was a big enough step for me. I'm opening myself up here in a big way to admit dh and really did drink alot and so when we decided to start ttc it all happened so fast. Now i am not drinking at all,(stopped immediately when i found out i was pregnant) dh has cut down his drinking to literally maybe only drinking on one night a week and we are now smoke free! So will be giving my flat a thorough clean etc to finish of this big step in our lives!

Anyway hope you are all having a nice day! I have to go to my sisters in a minute and then to work to meet nvq man who has finally agreed i can do my nvq after telling me 2 days ago due to my pregnancy i could not do it! But all is ok and sorted out now after i expressed my thoughts against discrimination towards pregnant woman and told the company im having a baby not losing my brain! Go me!!

Congratulations on giving up iate, I'm certainly not one to lecture so well done, and hope you keep it up. And good news also on your nvq, sounds like you're on a roll.

iaatcey - So pleased for you - I know its not easy but small changes make a huge difference and you have just done the best thing you could - you should be proud of yourself!
nunnie - it aint over til the witch appears - I know how hard it is to not test - after all you were there when I caved!
As for me my 20 week scan went well and it's all feeling very real now!
Babydust all round!!
