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!

Holiday was great! We went to Ireland and had a real family holiday with beaches and walks in the rain etc. Very chilled out!
Not sure when's best to test PME... as long as possible!!! I was always crap!
PL - it aint over til the fat lady sings!
How are the rest of the bumps growing?

Nah, she's singing unfortuntely. But my shiny new Clearblue fertility monitor has now come out to play and that's exciting!

Your holiday sounds wonderful, I adore beaches in the rain for some strange reason.

Hi everyone hope you's are all well. Been quiet recently on here? Well i am due AF 31ST or 3rd or 4th still got BFN. Hope it changes. Think am out this month. We only did the deed twice this month. Love to every1 x x

Its not over untill af arrives pme Good luck and fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed to all who are hoping AF doesn't rear her ugly head any day now. Think will get that joy this week. My progesterone was 42 on 150 of clomid, this has given me hope but does anyone know about progesterone levels...??? I get so confused!

So true....am CD 29 and opened a packet this morning...hesitated and put it back in the cabinet........there it will stay!

I tested ths morning. Think BFN, due AF today,or the 3rd or 4th Sep xx

I did a blood test on the 12th of August and it was negative. Today is the 34th day and still no period. How many days should you be late before testing.

Hi Ricci, most people would show positive on the day their period is due, but some people don't show until later. Maybe you should go back to the doctor and see whether they can do another blood test for you or arrange a scan to see what's going on. It could also be that you're having an anovulatory cycle as I believe that can make your period very late.

Hello also to losingallhope. Sorry I have no idea about progesterone levels... maybe post a separate thread asking for advice on that? Well done for putting the test back in the cabinet this morning. Have you got any symptoms?

Thanks will do!

Thanks PL, no other symptoms so just gonna hang fire til the weekend, save the heartache (and £7!!!)
Love this ability to share angst without boring friends with the same story. I don't think you understand until you've been here too x

Anyway best get on smoking midwife will be here any moment to enjoy fresh coffee and a cake a baked this morning yummy....

Feel great though!!!

Wow iate its flying by for you!! So your going to find out what your having how exciting!!!! I have my 12 week scan on the 14th bit scared as it was then we found out baby had stopped growing at 9 weeks last time, so just want to get it over with, i keep snapping at everyone at the mo because im so nervous about it!!!

We are hme, thank god but just need things finished off nw

I tested today BFN, so I'm out, cos did deed 9th 11th and 16th xx

Hi

Been away on holiday - walking in the lake district from which we've returned a day early as we were tired of gettign soaked through - hope you are all keeping well.

Exciting scan time for you Iate - my DH was the opposite and didn't want us to find out so we're in the dark about it still. And for you too Angel 12 week scan as well!

Sorry to hear that Pistachio - good luck with the clearblue monitor though.

oh pme i thought you were planning on the 'every other day' option last month, well at least being home will give u more chance!! How is Jack adjusting to being home?

Liskey so your waiting till the big day till you find out!? Gosh your so patient i really cant wait to find out now

Are you finding time is just flying by so fast! Have you started buying bits yet? We have not bought anything yet but do have second hand bits from people. Are you feeling lots of movement? xx

Hi Iate, I WAS planning on "the every other day" option, but was bit of a nightmare whn not in house

Yeah so looks like I am out ths mnth

Jack is ok back at home, thnku for asking, apart from a horrible bloody sickness bug today

xx

oh well heres to this month then!!

Glad Jack is doing well hope his bug clears up fast for him.

Aw thanku Iate, hw far are u again xxx

im 19+3 today!

I'm not really patient it was more DH! But in a way I don't want to find out either.

I'm still not sure if I'm feeling movement or not We haven't got anything yet! Aarggh but we are going to some NCT sales next month so hopefully should get some things then - and I'm looking on ebay as well for a pushchair.

hey liskey!!

Im def feeling movement every day now which is so reassuring! I asked the smoking midwife today if this was normal and she said yes, i said i think he likes to dance on my bladder and was he/she big enough to do this, apparently yes it means baby is bum down??

ebay is great for prams etc we've seen some locally travel systems so car seat etc all in one for about £40 buy it now which seems reasonable to me!

The feeling i get started of about 16 half weeks like little bubbles only once, then a week later 2 little kicks very faint like it was quite far inside me iykwim and now its regular quite low down on the left i feel proper moves, only way i can describe is actually a baby moving inside of me lol. He/she reacts to my prodding and stroking quite a bit esp in the morning and the evenings he/she is def quite active! Its every day i feel movement although DH has yet to feel anything although bubba swims about right under his hand i think hes teasing his/her daddy!! By the way these feeling are llight mind not heavy hand out the skin kind of thing its just like midwife said im very in touch with my body.

I say this as bubba is doing a merry little dance right now!
