Squirrel only a few more days left for you it's absolutely unbelievable how that has flown. Let's hope LO is raring to get going and it doesn't take too much to get things started. Have you chosen the "home from the hospital" outfit?

SWI I think I'd be in the test as often as you like camp with MrsS and Strawberry - but maybe you feel differently as the months go on and when you feel optimistic. As long as they are cheapies you can tell yourself (a) it's not a waste of money; and (b) if its bfn it's only because it's such a cheap test, not because you're not pg.

Quod it's awful to come to the end of a show run, I always used to feel quite depressed whenever something like that was over. How are you celebrating the end? And where are my pics?!!

I can't imagine I'll be restrained in the 2ww, I love my wine too much. As SWI it doesn't pass to the baby in the initial few days. However if I'm still waiting to TTC in 5 years I may have become evangelical about every slight thing.

ShaggingWithIntent · 28/06/2011 08:55

Hi AC! That temp does seem incredibly low to me. Is yours a digital thermometer? If so it should store the last temp taken so have a look when you get home this evening and see what it says.

DH sounds like he's really confused and it must be such a headfuck for you. I'd just ignore him and keep on TTC, as you said... one month isn't going to make a blind bit of diference!

I've got some of those Amazon cheapie tests at home (about 20!!!) but am wondering if I should use one of those or maybe a Digi one on Friday morning? Can we have a poll please:

Cheapie or Digi?!?!?

AmandaCooper · 28/06/2011 09:16

Yes I had a look to see if I could double check it but it had lost the last temp. I'm sure it can't be right it would be such an abnormal temp for me. For anyone in fact!

What good are they at home?! Grin

ShaggingWithIntent · 28/06/2011 09:22

I am not going to test before Friday otherwise I'll spend the next 3 days going insane!!!

I think I'd probably discount the temp if I had one that odd (as I did with the crazily high one after a few too many bottles glasses of Wine!!!)

100years · 28/06/2011 09:24

squirrel, fingers crossed for all going well for you this week. :)

SWI, I was a terrible person for testing early, I will try and stop you if you want, but I did it on CD 26 myself! Re the poll, if you want to test and won't be disappointed if it comes up negative then cheapie, if you want to wait then do the digi.

Quod, Hope you enjoyed your half day :) I'd like to see pics too please.

minipie, hope your 2ww goes OK. re the 'forbidden' foods, there was very little I ate in the forbidden foods list anyway so I can't comment on it properly and was caught on the second month, so my experience isn't that much of 2ww.

Bebe, glad your finger is a bit better. And enjoy new cupcake decorating.

AC, I'm SO sorry to hear that he had another turn :( (hugs) I will keep fingers very firmly crossed for next month.

Had a good weekend of rest and yesterday I was pretty much pain free :) That was great :) Had dentist appointment and saw my family. Got given some baby clothes from my sister, including the first pink outfit LO will be wearing as it's kind of a family thing now, my two nieces both wore it as their first outfit. Got some baby tights and baby grows and stuff, they're all so teeny Shock it's so cool. I put a few outfits on my belly in the position LO was lying the other day! was very funny. And in the 2 weeks since I've seen my family I've grown somewhat, they were all saying I'd grown.

Got our parent education classes tomorrow. Wow. OH is not feeling too good today and yesterday, so I'm hoping he's better, I don't want to go alone, but I would if I had to.

Anyway another day of rest as I'm a bit more achy again today after a bit of walking yesterday, then back to normal hopefully tomorrow and work again on Thursday. 4 weeks Friday I finish work, phew.

100 - can;t believe you are only 4 weeks away form maternity leave!! It seems like only a short time since I found my way onto the 2nd Waiting thread and now we're on number 6 (I think) and so many ladies have progressed from waiting to TTC to BFP to babies!!

Maybe we should go back to the inital thread and look at all the graduates?!?!?

100years · 28/06/2011 09:36

Anything to take your mind off the wait till Friday hey!

I don't think I was on the first waiting thread, as I didn't join MN till August I think.

And yay for only 4 weeks, 15 shifts at work, and yes I'm counting them down, have been doing so since about 54 shifts! LOL

OP posts:
ShaggingWithIntent · 28/06/2011 09:41
Grin only 15 shifts - that is amazing! You must be so excited!! I'm really looking forward to seeing all the baby pics on here in the next few months!
100years · 28/06/2011 09:41

This should take you to page 23 of the third thread when I joined! WOW

OP posts:
100years · 28/06/2011 09:43

I really am excited. I've not been enjoying it much recently and so am looking forward to the break from it, and doing different stuff for a year (ie raising the baby)

OP posts:
ShaggingWithIntent · 28/06/2011 09:45

I've found the Gruffalo....He must have escaped overnight!!!

ShaggingWithIntent · 28/06/2011 09:50

here's where I joined back in July 2010.....

100years · 28/06/2011 09:56

Cool :) LOL at gruffalo, let's go get him back...

Weird looking back as to when you joined and how you joined. Can remember the first time I posted.

ShaggingWithIntent · 28/06/2011 09:57

Just found this post from last year....... (excuse really shit spelling!!)

AC - i have no prior knowledge on the catching front but I am sort of hoping that it takes a couple of months for a few reasons:

1) so that DH can get used to the idea!

2) so that I am due after xmas (I never liked the idea of a birthday too close to xmas)

3) so that I can do the 2011 wedding season without having to worry about everybody guessing that I am PG (I have been known to knock back the champagne and any other alcohol and so it would be instantly obvious that I was PG if I wasn't drinking!!)

4) So that i can have a few months of the excitement and dissappointment of testing so that when I get my BFP I am even more happy than if I had got it straight away.

Probably very stupid and shallow reasons (particularly 2&3) but in a perfect world I'd liek to catch in June of next year. Fingers crossed!!!!!

Well it's June now so........ FX Grin

bebejones · 28/06/2011 10:00

Haha, love it

Quod - I am intrigued what is it you do again? I definitely need pics Wink

AC - have a morning hope you are ok, agree that one month is not going to make the slightest bit of difference!

100 - Wow, just 4 weeks!! Shock

SWI - Wait & do the digi...easy for me to say!!

100years · 28/06/2011 10:10

Big time FX for you SWI, would be ace if you can predict things like that.

Thanks bebe

minipie · 28/06/2011 10:22

Arggh just typed a long post but then lost it!

here's where I joined, thread number 2, July 2010

my first post was about me wanting to TTC from May this year and DH from September this year... guess who won Grin

AC so the Gruffalo appears to have had some effect, v glad your DH is now on again for next month - I will really cross my fingers for you that this time he doesn't change his mind again.

Quod hmmm we need more details. Burlesque perhaps...

FX for you SWI (and for me too!) for a June conception and a July BFP!

AmandaCooper · 28/06/2011 12:45

These blasts from the past are brilliant! SWI if you are pg this month it will be quite freaky!

Minipie my first waiting post is on the first page of that second thread. I was aiming for a baby in two years time - so just ever so slightly behind schedule. But I have cleared nearly all my debt.

Quod where are the pics???

ShaggingWithIntent · 28/06/2011 12:51

PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES

AmandaCooper · 28/06/2011 13:08

Minipie nevermind DH and his stupid change of heart, let's cross our fingers that we all hit the jackpot this month!

ShaggingWithIntent · 28/06/2011 13:13

When is everybody testing then?

bebejones · 28/06/2011 13:27

Found me...halfway through the 1st thread :(

here

@ what I wrote. DH was on board (ish) back then.

Spent about a month on the thread before DH did a u-turn it would seem...Hmm Buggeration!!! :(

AmandaCooper · 28/06/2011 13:39

SWI I'm not sure that I've ovulated yet, probably not. If I did by some miracle get in there just in time I'll be testing 8 July.

minipie · 28/06/2011 13:42

AC my fingers are so crossed they are about to turn blue!

SWI I think I can test from about 11 July... aaaages [grumpy emoticon]. You are this Friday yes? Sending you positive vibes (ho ho).

bebe Sad. What's your DH's latest thinking? And what does the doc say... ? By the way I just had a look at your pics and I am now drooling really quite wanting some cake! And your DD is absolutely totally gorgeous.

ShaggingWithIntent · 28/06/2011 14:31

AC FX for you. If you did OV on CD16 then your SWI on CD 15 would be very well timed :)

Going to buy some CBD tests on my way home tonight. Then I just have to hide them at the back of my knicker drawer until Friday morning..........

Feeling so ropey this afternoon.
Back ache - check
headache - check
nausea - check
................ I just want to go home and go to bed! Sadly I have a mountain of ironing to do.
