Many congratulations sarahmia!

moof sorry to hear your remembrance didn't go as planned. Hope you get to plant the mapple soon and watch it grow.

Dh is ill. Not sure what this means for our swi plan tonight. He's being a proper grump about it as well. I am hoping he gets over it in the next few hours. Selfish, moi?

hairytriangle · 04/07/2010 18:57

Sarah Congrats! try not to fret, a line is a line is a line!

everyone thanks for your lovely congrats and good wishes.

AF seems pretty normal this time. I'm kind of fretting about when I will left ovulate, and the possibility of getting PG in the right side, and what if they can't unblock the tube.

I'm wondering if they would take away the right tube and give me clomid so that the left goes crazy, but how will I know for sure I have good eggs in the left? What if the doc won't send me for a laporoscopy. And is there any way of knowing for sure which ovary is ovulating?

I'm another abandoned temp'er. I kept forgetting and didn't really understand hw it works.

And other such frets.

I guess I need to wait to see the doctor. I also guess i have to get over to him without being over the top that I really need some answers very quickly because of my age!

Great news Sarahmia

Sorry your day hasn't gone to plan Moo and you haven't been able to do any of the lovely things to remember. I hope you have yourself a big old bar of choccy. Big hugs xxxx

Digit hoping DH sorts himself out!!

Glad things are looking normal RTD wise Hairy, I can't really give you any advice but try not to fret too much x

That is pants delliah think we've nearly all been got like that before, so unpredictable hope the chilli choc has helped

No idea about your reg office sorry Ivy, best off calling them tomorrow.

Well its been nausea all day in camp Magic but from too much of the good stuff .......I started off having white wine and soda but gave in so quickly seeing as it was one of me oldest mates hen doooo! I have no will power and have probably picked anything that might be floating around I haven't stopped eating all day and I am sooooooooo looking forward to my dinner that is cooking right now!!!!

Wooohooo Sarahmia! That's great news.

Sorry about your day, Moo. Consider yourself very hugged.

Delilah I've had the same thing happen to me, and it really sucks. Sorry.

Thanks to everyone for the wedding stuff.. I would phone them tomorrow, but I somehow get the feeling OH is chickening out - we were thinking of being spontaneous and get married when we go on holiday in 6 weeks. But obviously, even being together for 7 years does not prepare a man for marriage.

Nothing much else to report from here, I'm symptom spotting like crazy, cramping, sore boobs, sensitive to smells and soo tired, but I fear that most of those are down to DS being a little bugger last night and chewing my nipples to pieces, then jumping around on our bed from 5am, and because of impending RTD.

Muser · 04/07/2010 22:29

Sorry it didn't go as planned moo, hope you're feeling a bit better now. It must be such a hard time just now.

Thanks for the good wishes jolls and BUnder. I am terrified, cried all over MrM earlier this evening panicking that it was going to be bad news. I wish I could fast forward this bit.

Moofold · 04/07/2010 22:43

Thanks everyone, I'm sure I'll get another chance to remember the bean.

Good luck for tomorrow Muser, you must be feeling so nervous. Catch up with your news tomorrow x

Heeheehee, thank you for the birthday wishes you lovely ladies.

I had a super relaxed day with DH, going to a local festival nearby and chilling out at home. 33 is the new 23, doncha know?

As some of you know, I had a slight wibble on Saturday evening when my best friend announced she was pregnant at my birthday party. Great timing, or what? Obviously I love her enourmously and am thrilled, but did have a touch of the green eyed monster - especially as it turns out it is INCREDIBLY early days, so while I was peeing on my stick on Monday evening and getting a BFN, she was doing exactly the same and getting a BFP. How peculiar.

She decided to tell us immediately - partly because she knew she couldn't get away with not drinking at my bash, but also because we're so busy that we only ever manage to all be in the same place at the same time about once every couple of months, and she wanted to tell us together. Which, to be honest, is exactly what I would have done so am feeling a bit less about the birthday thing... (I'm SUCH a birthday diva!)

Anyway, hope you all had lovely weekends.

sarahmia - that's lovely news, honey. Congratulations xx

Much love xxx

Muser · 05/07/2010 10:21

Hey all. Positive news from scan. There's a sac and a yolk sac in my wombular. She couldn't see the baby yet but said that's not unusual at this stage. I am numb. Being scanned again in 2 weeks.

Freezingmyarseoff · 05/07/2010 11:18

So glad for you Muser that you can relax a bit now the first scan is out of the way. It is hard though not to be able to enjoy it quite the same way anymore

Moof so sorry things weren't as you wanted them at the weekend. Men just don't think sometimes.

Congrats Sarah

Hairy so pleased you can join the list again

Viv Tis always hard to hear about other people's pregnancies, especially if you're close to them. It will be your time very soon, I'm sure of it.

Waves to everyone else

digitalgirl · 05/07/2010 11:28

Happy Birthday viv hope you had lots of cliquot to celebrate.

Well, not entirely convinced I've ovulated. Am waiting for cervix to close before i can officially declare myself on the 2ww. However opk was neg last night so lh surge has been and gone. And temp seemed a little higher this morning. But it's only my 3rd recorded temp this cycle so not particularly conclusive.

This has happened before, had a +ve opk then didn't get rtd till 4 weeks later - first attempt failed so body tried again 2 weeks after +ve opk. Thought ewcm was a pregnancy symptom, doh! Wasn't temping then either.

Anyway - fingers crossed I won't be going through that again and the acupuncture and electroshizzle has worked it's magic. DH was mercifully obliging last night. Love him.

Am tentatively 1dpo.

digitalgirl · 05/07/2010 11:30

Oh and excellent news on the bean being in the right place this time muser

northerngoldilocks · 05/07/2010 11:37

muser thats great news re the bean being in the right place. Hope the next 2 weeks are less stressful!

Sarah - congrats - a line is a line!

I think that I'm working on learning that no matter how much I stare at the 'DPO' section on fertility friend, it isn't going to make it move forward. Given that it has changed my ovulation date 4 times now I don't think it (or I) have a clue when / if I ovulated! Despite this I'm still willing the days to pass so can POAS - currenly only at 6DPO (which may or may not be true!). May need someone to bring out the haddock!

clareanna · 05/07/2010 12:34

fab news Sarah everything crossed for you x

StickThemWithThePointyEnd · 05/07/2010 16:28

muser - that's great news about the scan/

Happy Birthday, Viv.

northern I know the feeling. I obsessively often look at my chart and the DPO count and conclusions on FF and imagine hope they change in my favour.

Well, I've had a crazy day. Insane cramping, keep thinking RTD has arrived and dash to the loo, only to find that I have EWCM??
Then I decided to POAS again, and I got a pink line and a white one where the second line would be if I was pregnant?!? that has to be a faulty test.. I am starting to wonder if I didn't ov afterall.. grr. I hate my body.

VivClicquot · 05/07/2010 17:16

Ivy, are you sure you're not upduffed? I'd POAS again, as I have to say all your symptoms sound promising.

muser - that's brilliant, so I hope you're feeling reassured. The next two weeks until the next scan will fly by.

Dearest moo - I forgot to say earlier that I'm sorry your day yesterday didn't quite go to plan. Hope things seem a bit brighter today

hairytriangle · 05/07/2010 18:25

Oh Muser that's fab

Happy birthday Viv

sarahmia · 05/07/2010 18:38

Muser thats wonderful!
Moo how you feeling today?
Viv Happy birthday!!

ok well its been a whole 40 hours since i POAS and the crazy has already begun... so reassurance please ladies...

a) first test i did at night, was faint but got darker with time, then did one mid day today and was faint but darker with time, got darker quicker tho this time...

b) i have pain in my shoulders, I think i always get this pain but i read somewhere that it can be a sign of ectopic preg. so now ive CONVINCED myself that that is what is happenning. and am looking for pain in my sides which from time to time i do feel, but tbh I felt crampy and painy with both my other pregnancies. I also read that to have shoulder pain the ectopic preg has to be pretty bad cos it means you have internal bleeding...

ADVISE PLEASE! am driving myself mad!!!

hairytriangle · 05/07/2010 18:45

Oh Sarah

Lines thicken anyway I think. if you have a faint line it's more indicative of earlier pregnancy than later, as the stick picks up Hcg (preg hormone)

Best to do them first thing in the morning as your wee is more concentrated

Please phone your GP out of hours service or go to EPU if you are at all worried!!!!

sarahmia · 05/07/2010 19:21

thanks hairy Truth is im no actually concerned, just think its my way of trying to protect myself... convincing myself a million things are wrong. why do i do that?

Moofold · 05/07/2010 20:50

Evening all. How are you all doing? Digi what a trooper your DH is! Over your hangover yet 8s? Still spotting symptoms Ivy - got another stick to pee on yet? Your back any better Loopy? How are you feeling Viv after yor friend's big announcement? MN more important than in-laws MrsPretty? Here's the haddock, accept this quick slap Northern

Muser that's excellent news about the scan - you're over the first hurdle! I've got my scan two weeks tomorrow so we can hand hold through that one together. BU what are you doing about yours - did you see your doc or still going private? Jolls have you any scan plans?

Sarahmia - deep breaths. I think what you're doing, and what I've been doing too, is trying to prepare yourself for the worst. I've been thinking about it lots though and its probably counter productive so try to stop. I don't think we could possibly prepare ourselves for something going wrong so there is no point thinking these awful thoughts - if something were to be wrong it wouldn't make it any easier having spent ages fretting and imagining each worst case scenario. There's a lot to be said for positive thoughts too and as Loopy said to me if there's nothing bad happening then everything is ok!

Hope you are all good. barren you alright pal? Haven't heard from you for a while x
