To WIIT to whoohoo! 5th thread

[100years]

Well what happens now?

Old thread

Ha ha tmi fest! Are you worried? It sounds a bit scary, although its supposed to be quite a common early symptom it's never nice to feel out of control.

I know it's not over till it's over, but there's nothing to suggest we were lucky this cycle and everything (bar my bbt) to suggest not.

No not worried about why I nearly fainted, just don't want to be a wonky fainty pg lady, though I'd take feeling a bit wonky over puking!

Mw just rang me back as I left her a message yesterday :) same one as last time, she's coming Tuesday to do the paperwork, and said yep scan at where my period suggests 12 weeks and go from there. So hopefully only 4wks and 6 days to scan...

That's ages!

It's not as long as 6 wks 6 days :) which is when I reckon I possibly would be 12 weeks. I'm still thinking I conceived on holiday due to EWCM before and on the first day of holiday, but who knows. Maybe it was before we went. Then I would be a bit further along. Time will tell.

LWH it did seem ridiculous to be pregnant, like pregnancy only really happens to other people (grown-ups!). You would think at 30 I would have felt old enough but no! As long as the temp is up the elephants need to stay on standby- I didn't get a BFP on 10 DPO so keep the faith. When will your temp have been raised for 18 days? That is the benchmark for Pg isn't it according to TCOYF?

Hope you are less wonky this afternoon LAHG.

Welcome back SPR- the photos are lovely! What a peach! And like LWH I don't think I've ever seen such a glamerous post c-section picture!

How is P Bebe? Is she still testing your limits? She sounds like a very bright little girl. You'll be able to remind her about all this when she has grown up to be PM or won an Oscar!

Next Saturday. If my BBT dip at 9dpo was an implantation dip (grasps pathetically at straws) I would only be 2 days past implantation by now, so you'd expect hcg levels to be low this morning...

Yes only other people can get pg, not me surely!

Hello all

I have been AWOL rather due to work, so just catching up on everyone's news. Harpie congratulations on the house, it looks lovely! I agree that 11dpo is too early to be a definite BFN so elephants should definitely remain primed.
Show went well thanks - was threatening to rain all day but it didn't to our relief. One performance down and 25 to go before the middle of July! So I might not be around very much in the next month or two.

SPR lovely to have you back and your photos of Sassi are lovely - can't believe how glamorous you look in the one where you've just given birth!

100 sorry to hear you and E are both ill - get well soon.

My AF turned up a whole week late in the end - I am pretty sure it was an anovulatory cycle as I normally get achy boobs and I didn't at all this time around. Looking back at the month I realised the day I was supposed to ovulate coincided with the day my dog died in the middle of an otherwise very stressful week, so probably the egg decided not to bother and I don't blame it.

DP and I have hardly seen each other recently as we're both super busy, but we have started to have some long-overdue conversations about what next for us. Because of our respective workloads it has felt like we've been stuck in the same place for quite a while as a couple and we are both feeling like things need to move on. He seems pretty keen on TTC now - if anything it's me who is concerned, as I am worried about how we will support ourselves on one unreliable income. How things change eh?

I'm so sorry to hear about your dog Quod :(

Good to hear you are both thinking about the future! I think it's a good idea to save up enough money to cover all your normal outgoings whilst you are on Mat leave but apart from that, anything could happen so there's little point worrying IMHO.

Yes it was awful about your dog Quod I'm so sorry you lost him. They are one of the family, aren't they. I'm hoping that when we get our new house my dog will come from my parents' house to live with me whenever my parents are at their holiday home - but I'm not sure what DH will have to say about that!

Glad the weather held for you and you were happy with how it all went. When this run is over will you have a bit of time when you're not so busy when you could feasibly fit in a bout of ms?!

I'm so happy to hear you and DP are having these conversations and both seem to be coming from the same place. I think even though it can be heartbreaking to be the one pushing against a shut door, you can build up a bit of bravado about the whole thing that evaporates as soon as the door is opened and you're faced with actually TTC now! I've been worrying about how we're going to make ends meet when we get the house because the mortgage payments are going to be about £500 a month more than we're paying now.

BBT is still elevated - 36.56 degrees when I woke in the night at 3.30am and a whopping 36.93 degrees at 8.30am when I woke up for the second time. My normal temping time is around 5am, so neither is particularly accurate but the important thing is both are above the cover line.

Right I'm getting up to crack on with some more work. No rest for the wicked just delicious coffee and croissants!

I POA Persona test stick just now and got a pretty strong second line. Not sure that means anything though! So have POA pg test and... well it's very easy for your eyes to play tricks on you isn't it....

Shall I try a post a photo?

Um I'm going to dash out and stock up on peanuts.

So is that a sort of BFP?

Yes I'm pregnant! Confirmed with a First Response, which gave a pretty strong second line. Noone was around for the elephant launch!

brass band plays celebrations

Woohoo

Yay BFP

Oh how fab. BFP BFP BFP.

Lucky month

Yay we are pg buddies! DH is thrilled. Just got to try not to get too excited now till we get a bit further on.

Harpie, come and join me here it's the antenatal February thread. :o

Pg buddy :) I'm so chuffed for you, and I'm glad your DH is chuffed, all you needed was a BFP :)

Right a quick catch up.

Srawberry, thank you :)

Quod, sorry a to hear about AF, although I know you weren't trying this month. And really sorry to hear about your dog. :( I am glad you have been talking about stuff. It's perfectly normal to have worries about things like money.

Still a bit wonky today, DP said maybe it's my version of sickness this time! Feel a bit wiped out. Have told my Mum and grandparents. And this week we are seeing the ILs so we will tell them then :)

HOOOOORRAAYY! leftwingharpe it's me pipoca from way back! So pleased to hear you finally persuaded DH and have got your (very) long awaited BFP! So thrilled for you! Enjoy! Lovely that DH is sthrilled too, I know it took him a while to get his head round to the idea of ttc!

Hello Pipoca! Fancy seeing you here! How are you and DD? She must be getting pretty big now?

LAHG I think I need to let it sink in before I make a bold statement like joining an antenatal thread. I'm so scared tomorrow I might get a bfn. Have I been reading too many mc threads?

I go away for a couple of hours and come back to a proper BFP announcement!!! I always miss the 'good stuff'!

Woohoo for Harpie!! And that DH is chuffed too!!

Not too late Bebe, have some champagne! Can't really believe it. Might go peer at my test sticks again!

We're all well. DS is 4 and a bit and DD is now 13 months and all fat and roly poly and squidgy and gorgeous. Hope you have a lovely pregnancy and all goes smoothly, will stalk you a bit watch out for any updates, but just to say CONGRATULATIONS!!!
