Hardly the most original title but I didn't want to loose anyone (well that's my excuse for the lack of originality!)

Jollister, I'm buying my test tomorrow and going to do it first thing on Wednesday. Soooo hope it's this month!

Cheepz · 11/01/2010 21:52

jollster I am not testing til weds / thurs - would love it to be this month but my gut tells me its not... AF is due today tomorrow based on 14 days post ov and I am definitely feeling crampy - and not in a good way, also have no symptoms of pg at all. Still fat lady has not sung yet so am not throwing in the towel. My moneys on SamB though - seems to have all the indicators!

boodleboot · 11/01/2010 22:30

i can't help it.......i DO think its twins.....

don't ask me why.....

this thread is making me giddy all of a sudden, its like COMPULSIVE viewing......

samtiger cheepz - test already will ya.....

tigerbear · 11/01/2010 22:50

Boodle, that would be fantastic if twins!!

I can't test - don't have any in the house. Wednesday is the day! (although once I buy the test tomorrow, I'll probably end up doing it then!).
I'm feeling tired, boobs hurt, a few twinges, and feel under the weather. Wishful thinking to think I could be pg? It's prob AF on the way.
Only other thing which makes me think it could be possible is that my skin is really clear. I normally have lots of spots the week before AF. This was one of the reasons I tested early when I was pg before, so I'm hoping it's a sign!

boodleboot · 11/01/2010 23:07

just do it whenever......that FMU didn't really do it for me.....my wee is stronger in the afternoon......oooooh how exciting

right bed for me......i am absolutely dog tired.....

tigerbear · 11/01/2010 23:45

Boodle, I'm not surprised you're tired. Your hormones must be going haywire! Night!

LeeWT · 11/01/2010 23:59

Oooh tigerbear and samb it's sounding positive!! Oh cheeeeeeepzzz... What gives?!?!

My info rfth is that I am 30 (and 2 days!!) and I have one gorgeous little girl conceived with absolutely no bother (ie a happy accident) who will be 3 in April..

Well I took an Internet cheapy this morning and it was def a bfn.. The last time I was preg I had faint lines at this stage and af is due anytime from cd 30 to 32 think I am cd29 now so pretty sure it's not me.. I'm kind of glad I'm not properly ttc because I feel a little disappointed even tho I wasn't trying if that makes sense..

Off to Dublin tomor to look after my v sick nanna for couple days. We don't think she has long & it's v v tough going so will be checking in on you guys to see if there's good news to cheer me up x

xxxx

zayja · 11/01/2010 23:59

well Wednesday is looking too exciting for words... so today I'll just say...

TWINS TWINS TWINS

how BRILLIANT boodle, do you have any history in the family....? OMG that would be amazing! Another set on the thread!

OMG I'll be SO green!!!!!!!!! .

Hope you're all ok, and not too chilly. Starting to thaw here a bit, but still icy and tricky to get about.

boodleboot · 12/01/2010 08:26

ha...it so won't be twins now i have built it up like this eh....not long til the scan. doc is booking it for next wed or thurs. I am erally tempted to ask for one more set of bloods on friday tho just to check that the levels have risen past 4500 - that was the highest i reached before at 7 1/2 weeks when EP was diagnosed.....i just want to see my numbers passed that point....i don' think he would have it tho to be honest....unless i cried....hmmmmm, thats quite easy to do at the moment.....

my boobs are so big and heavy i swear last night it felt like my milk was about to come in....you know that tingly hot slightly prickly feeling....TMI? i'm never sure these days ha ha....

off to court to see if this pernicious little man gets his ASBO that we have been fighting for for 6 months.....FX ha.

MrsRigby · 12/01/2010 09:45

jollster your not the only one, I'm already at the thought. It's bad enough that there's 1 person on here expecting twins, but 2 - thats just rubbing my nose in it.

Twins run in my family, so I was always told that it would happen to me. So far nothing.

I was a twin (died either in the womb or after birth - I've never been able to find out which), my father is a twin (his died at 21 of cerebal palsy or downs, I forget which), my grandfather is a twin and I think his father, my great-grandfather is also a twin.

The really amazing thing about this is that twins are supposed to run on the maternal side from what I've been told, or maybe I'm getting confused.

Anyway...

DS is in nursery until 3pm - yes, it's going to be a long day. Not my choice, but as I have to go back to work (also not my choice) we need to get him settled in there before hand.

I go back to work on Thursday . I wish the bastard government would suppport mothers and fathers who want to look after their child and raise them, instead of giving money to benefit fraudsters and drug addicts etc.

Don't know what to do with myself, I feel miserable that I'm not pregnant and everyone else is. I feel lost and the place is so quiet without DS. I miss him. It should be me looking after him, changing his nappy, feeding him and playing with him. Instead I get to pay someone £600 odd for being able to do that.

He screamed when he saw the women who look after him, which then made me start worrying about abuse and he was clinging on to me.

How as a mother are you supposed to just walk away. When I walked out the door he was crying his eyes out and crawled after me. How is he supposed to understand what is happening.

And things were just getting better between us, he was starting to come to me as well as DH - I've even had kisses and cuddles.

I just know he's going to completely ignore me when I pick him up and bring him home.

boodleboot fingers crossed your pregnant with twins and ASBO boy gets the book thrown at him.

Cheepz · 12/01/2010 10:10

mrsr sounds like you are having the crappest day. I work and my DS is at nursery, but it is my choice so probably not so hard for me to deal with and I definitely agree that for Mums who want to stay at home and look after their kids the government should be doing so much more to provide support, I would much rather my tax money was paying for that than for some loser benefits theives and people who just can't be bothered.

What I can tell you is that you DS will be fine, the women at nursery love the kids so much - I am sometimes worried one of the women who looks after my DS is going to abscond with him she adores him so much, and he just loves all the things he gets to do there, drawing and singing and painting and messy play, his language has come on loads and he has his friends who he talks about. He has been there since he was 9 months and he is 2 and a half now.

Its also tough as a Mum because they cry when you leave, and then they cry when you arrive which makes you feel like they have just been miserable the whole time, but actually its amazing how fast they settle down once you are out of sight, and its only when they see you again that you get all the drama. They have CCTV in the rooms at DS nursery so on days where he has been upset I go and watch and within minutes, sometimes before I even get to reception he has calmed down and is off playing - cheeky monkey.

That doesn't mean I haven't left there in tears for having to be without him - especially after holidays when we have all had a blast as a family, but I know I am not cut out to be a SAHM, by 9 months of maternity I was desprate to get back to work, I can imagine if I didn't want to work having to leave him would be the crappest thing in the world and probably nothing anyone could say would make it feel any better.

Just don't worry he isn't being well looked after, most childcare in this coutry is amazing, and although there are well publicised cases of horrific incidents with kids in childcare they are very much the minority. Thinking of you today. xxxx

Cheepz · 12/01/2010 10:21

boodle twins would be quite something - then we would have applebeans and boodlebeans - I too would be though!!

leewt hope your nanna is not too poorly, good on you for going to visit, family is so important

zayja have jsut see you have quite short cycles looks like, so good luck for tomorrow, how are your feeling - do you think?.....

tiger have jsut see you are on WTF cycle - what day are you up to - where do you think you are in cycle? testing time clearly!!

samb what news?

for me I had hint of pinky discharge last night and thought dammit thats it then, but since then nothing more and still no AF, by the end of today I will officially be late, by the end of Thursday - if I can wait that long I will be officially very late. Just trying to bide my time. Both times I have had pinky discharge I have thought 'thats it, here she comes' and I have been disappointed but not that surprised so I am trying to maintain that. For now I am just glad AF not here as it still means I am in with a chance. I know I could just test and put myself out of my misery - at this stage a BFN would be pretty conclusive, but testing is like accepting I really think I might be pg and then will be so much more disappointed than AF just starting. Make sense or am I just a total

Effilump · 12/01/2010 10:57

Morning all. All this talk of twins! I would love to have twins, always wanted them! There are twins on my fathers side I think, and twins in my DP family, and I know theyre meant to be more common as you get older, so you never know! Thanks for all your kind wishes over the death of my dog. He was brilliant, I still expect him to be there every morning when I go into the kitchen. Im out of the WTF cycle now, AF started today, so that would make me on cycle 1, CD 1, wouldnt it?

MrsRigby · 12/01/2010 11:13

I'm absolutely convinced that cheepz and samanthab123 are pregnant.

Anyone else reckon they're the next BFP?

I'm kind of comforted by the fact that, since August 2009 at least, every month someone has got a BFP. On average 2 BFP a month .

Going by that logic, we shouldn't have anymore BFP this month, but I can't shake the feeling that cheepz and samanthab123 are pregnant.

Oh well, maybe I can fill February's quota.

I have to be pregnant by April, I can't not have a baby this year. DS needs a brother or sister.

Hopefully · 12/01/2010 11:38

Can I join in? I've just had my MC confirmed by scan at EPU (MC last week at around 5 and a bit weeks, so pretty early). Don't quite feel up to joining the usual TTC threads, but they've told us we can TTC again immediately.

Will add myself onto list shortly, and catch up with thread in general...

all this talk of twins....i reckon i actually just need to stop eating aero's.....DH would fall of his chair if it was twins and we have NO history in my family so it is prob just my little imagination running wild.....my intuition has been off so many times before. DH thinks it is going to be a kitten anyway.....{i'd quite like that myself! }

i love the suspense of other peoples testing tho.....makes the day far more interesting....

welcome hopefully....sorry to hear you are miscarrying. You will find the support you need here. Any questions or rants just pop them up hun.....

randomimposter · 12/01/2010 13:27

MrsR so sorry you are feeling pants, but can only echo what's been said - he will be fine at nursery and it will be brilliant for his development. And good for you too. Know it doesn't feel this way now though.

hopefully; welcome, I'm so sorry. It's a shitty time - hope you are getting lots of support and TLC.

effi - welled up at you talking about your dog - that's just how I've felt each time we've lost a cat. Like you expect them to just run in the room...

Twins twins twins - more .... Know what you mean though boodle, can just IMAGINE DP face if it happened to us.... .

Colder here today - just back from a very snowy park with DS and some friends... warm up and some games methinks. Brr x
