morning all.
cyteen big hugs from me too. I can't imagine how it must feel, and it seems like the two of you had a really amazing bond

I'm feeling really strange just incredibly nervous now actually. Almost scared. How silly is that? It's not like it was unplanned!
Now debating whether to tell anyone. Will probably tell MIL at least. GOt a lunch out today for SILs birthday, I won't be smoking OR drinking, so I'll have to make an excuse.
Anyone know about losing weight in pregnancy? Obviously I know you can't do any crash diet, but I'd like to maybe lose a bit.

please talk to me about evaporation lines

and make me stop googling them

CaptainCaveman · 24/04/2010 10:41

Yay for you QOD

QueenofDreams · 24/04/2010 10:45

Thanks CC - you got some thing you need to tell us?

poppysocks · 24/04/2010 10:46

Lordy, two in two days CC??? (Sorry for being no help at all...)

CaptainCaveman · 24/04/2010 10:51

Boots own tests. Definate BFN yesterday and today but 30 mins late on both a blue evaportaion line. AF due about now.

CaptainCaveman · 24/04/2010 10:52

that should read 30 mins later

luckoftheirish · 24/04/2010 10:52

cc don't know much about evap line but know that you discard a test after 5/10 mins depending on which type you bought?? do u have a second one to try? hugs

CaptainCaveman · 24/04/2010 10:53

and evaporation not whichever cackhanded way I just spelt it!

luckoftheirish · 24/04/2010 10:55

QueenofDreams · 24/04/2010 10:56

Yeah post a pic CC

GreenGardenia · 24/04/2010 11:11

What what what????

CC!

I don't know what an evaporation line is unforch.

hotterpotter · 24/04/2010 11:37

cece You must think summat's up if you're testing

Seriously though I think if there was nothing there after 5/10 minutes you are probably OK...

Can barely see the screen to type as out in the garden, blardy sun DS happy as Larry playing with a bucket of water and getting soaked. Should get on with gardening but maybe I'll have another cuppa first...

LittleNutTree · 24/04/2010 11:50

You too CC?????

LittleNutTree · 24/04/2010 12:05

Help! DH has just told me that he wants to enter the Channel 4 competition to win a walk on part in Glee!!! WTF?? Can you have a mid-life crisis at 31? He's also convinced that WHEN he wins, he can persuade the producers to allow him to be 'drunken Scottish janitor' rather than just a 'head in the crowd'! At least he'll be using the part as a way to rewrite the typical Scottish stereotype! Oh and they're going to let him snog Rachel in this part too...

RedLentil · 24/04/2010 12:29

I'm standing here on my own two hands going completely mad.

What has got into you lot?

luckoftheirish · 24/04/2010 12:34

liking your quote red tho no idea who said it ..

lnt at your dh.. is he on some happy pills? ..

cc where did u disappear too????

LittleNutTree · 24/04/2010 12:38

Maybe she's away to get another test!!

loti if he's on happy pills, he's not sharing them with me! How's your day going?

CaptainCaveman · 24/04/2010 12:42

Sorry got distracted by screaming children.

Testing because I'm not sure, have a collection of symptoms that if I was ttc I'd be excited - funny taste in my mouth, none of the usual pre-AF bloating , keep feeling sick, but then I think I have a bit of a bug yesterday and today as I have wicked gut-rot too.

What got me worried was the blarb on internet which says evap lines are colourless or grey, mine have both been blue...will try to post pic later

dh knows nothing why worry him unnecessarily!

Off to Southwell Minster for St George's day parade with our little Beaver scout (T)

CaptainCaveman · 24/04/2010 12:43

and i will retest mon if no af

luckoftheirish · 24/04/2010 12:44

keep checking on here to see if cc is back..

lnt dd2 asleep, dd1 playing with her snorkel i anticipation of trip to swimming pool .. he is off out to football.. he has decided he wants to be friends again .. i'm not saying much but being civil as don't wat kiddies to pick up atmosphere!

luckoftheirish · 24/04/2010 12:46

enjoy your afternoon out cc and fingers crossed if you need to re-test it will be what you want it to be [hugs] thinking of you xx

LittleNutTree · 24/04/2010 13:01

I think it's worse when they try to pretend nothing's wrong loti. I always find it a bit insulting tbh. Hopefully you can have a chat later on, don't let him away with it. ((hugs))

Fingers crossed for your test turning out the way you want CC. I wouldn't be able to wait until Monday - I applaud your patience!

cyteen · 24/04/2010 13:31

rofl at your DH, LittleNutTree Let us know if you catch him doing jazz hands.

Thank you for all the lovely support (and QoD, sorry again for rather dampening your fabulous cliffhanger surprise, I am genuinely thrilled for you of course ). It must have reached me through the ether because last night I had a brilliant dream that we were all on a girls' jolly for the weekend (sans DC, obv) and having a whale of a time in a beautiful rented cottage. Then ataraxis discovered she was pregnant! Maybe I MN too much

CC Monday??? You can't leave us hanging till then!

TwilightSurfer · 24/04/2010 13:45

Captain sometimes the line's not really an evap line. When you tested did you hold it up to the light? Often in the early days the line is just too light to see that way so you hold it up to the light (light to the rear of the test strip) so you can properly see the lines. It might have been there all along only darkening in the MINUTES between your first look and your second.
