A place to carry on chatting after a BFP and support each other through the stressful bits. I hope to see many new graduates appearing....

OMG i'd forgotten abt the wind Blush

IBelieveInPink · 21/03/2013 09:49

Ha shell! I had that last week. Appears to have calmed down this week starts panicking at lack of wind

shellshock7 · 21/03/2013 11:34

God pink it's bad how your mind goes, the constipation is giving me right pains and my shoulder hurt in bed the other night so im googling ectopic like mad Blush

IBelieveInPink · 21/03/2013 12:20

I know! I am in a complete state all the time. Everything makes me panic. I cramp, I panic. I dont cramp, I panic. Seriously I do not know how I am going to get through the next 3 weeks. Would like to hibernate. Like a Bear. That would be good.

shellshock7 · 21/03/2013 13:23

I'm just thinking 6 weeks now so half way to 12 weeks...and also only April to go and I'll be 12 weeks Smile

andadietcoke · 21/03/2013 14:46

I'm so glad I have you lot. I thought I was a neurotic mess and went through it all on my own - clearly 'normal for us'!! I worried so much about the cramps, and then worried when they stopped, because that clearly meant the babies had stopped growing!! Now I'm on bump watch, and trying to feel movement I can't feel, then worrying it's one twin and not the other!!

Posy I found out at 7/8 weeks after weird brown discharge and a scan at the EPU. Was a bit of a shock, especially as I was on my own. Now it just means I have twice as many babies to worry about (although it has meant I won't buy a Doppler so I see that as progress!!).

GardenWorm · 21/03/2013 15:57

oh to be 6 weeks!

IBelieveInPink · 21/03/2013 16:40

Haha, garden, I was thinking that too!!

GardenWorm · 21/03/2013 19:26

Well randomly I appear to have advanced - bought a twin pack clear blue digi so I could get a 2-3 this week and a 3+ next and it's already come up 3+????! Maybe I'm super producing the hormones this time. I got the first +ve opk on a Friday and then again on the Saturday so thought I'd ovulated Sunday or Monday but maybe it was the Friday after all - either that or I have discovered the clear blue time travel test! (copyrights immediately) Grin When do you guys think you ovulate in relation to clear blue smiley opk face?
Now getting paranoid as have a spare test. Aa aargh!

IBelieveInPink · 21/03/2013 19:39

Good work garden! I think everyone's hormones increase at different rates, and when I did all my manic research, 2-3 weeks is only 75% accurate. So you could still be that, but have slightly high hormones and be high enough in a cb digi to cross the boundary. Does that make sense?

AlmondFrangipani · 21/03/2013 19:53

Posy hi! Welcome!! Lovely to see you here.

Glad everyone else is doing well. Cant remember who said this but metallic taste was one of the first things I had! Annoying but a symptom at least!

shellshock7 · 21/03/2013 20:03

garden I'm testing for my 3+ on Sat and am bricking it!

Mega symptoms today and the bump has arrived! I know it's bloating and will be gone in the morning but it's lovely to see tonight, making me feel all PG and everything Smile

GardenWorm · 21/03/2013 20:41

Ooh a bump! Eeek!

GardenWorm · 21/03/2013 20:43

Oops
Retardation. I have that as a symptom at the mo.

GardenWorm · 21/03/2013 20:49

Meant to say; yes pink makes sense but won't help with the sales figures for my time travel machine

shellshock7 · 21/03/2013 21:24

I was massive with DS and sadly also with the MMC I had quite a bump, everyone at work could tell so it was tough...gonna have to be a smart dresser as not telling anyone at work this time till that 12 week scan!

JanieLovesCake · 21/03/2013 22:33

Anda I'm with you, without all you guys I'd be going shit crazy!!

And garden happy days with the 3+ Grin your post convinced me I should use my other cb and I got my 2-3 yay!! Defo going to have to buy a new one fur next week ffs, why don't we all start a pg test company!! We'd be millionaires! How are you feeling? Any symptoms? I didn't use the cb opk, I'm a cheapo kinda gal so not sure about the smiley faces etc

I had my dr appointment this avo and i asked about the possibility of getting scanned earlier than 12 weeks. I used the line of ...my periods are so irregular I don't know how far on I am and also that I had been misdiagnosed with the molar pg last time. She had to write to the hospital and she said she'd mention it but its up to the hospital boooooo.

Heading off on the hen do in the morning so I'll be AWOL til Sunday night. Hope you all have super weekends! I've decanted the non alcoholic wine into the WW bottle, still think its the best idea (thanks again pink!!)

Night night xxxx

Heading off on the hen do tomorrow

JanieLovesCake · 21/03/2013 22:36

Oops just realised I wrote the hen do thing twice oops!

Forgot to mention the doc said my blood pressure was quite high but she wondered if it was because I was excited!! Have to go back next thurs to get it tested again and if its not down then she needs to investigate. Not sure what that means eek

JBrd · 22/03/2013 08:54

Hello, can I join you? I recognise quite a few names from the conception thread , but only just found this one here!

I'm 4+5 today... and on an emotional rollercoaster! Constantly thinking about what could happen, and I guess it's only going to get worse the closer I get to 8 weeks, when my bleeding started last time. Not looking forward to that. I would really like to be happy about this pregnancy, but I'm struggling to relax - poor DH and DS are constantly being snapped at at the moment Confused

How is everyone else?!

JanieLovesCake · 22/03/2013 09:11

Hey jbrd! Lovely to see you :) It's hard not to be scared isn't it, I keep thinking its just a game of luck, but I'm trying to stay positive. Posifrickintivity = good for the body and soul! Have you got any symptoms as yet? I keep reading about sore boobs but I'm not feeling that...well I have one sore ish nipple but that's it!! Also, I'm usually a really good sleeper but I haven't been sleeping that well over the last week but maybe that's because I'm thinking too much?!?

JBrd · 22/03/2013 09:15

No, no symptoms, nada! No sickness, no sore boobs, no metallic taste - maybe a slightly increased appetite, but I really don't think that's got anything to do with it, I do like my food Grin

The only thing I noticed is that I currently wake up every morning drenched in sweat, yuck.

IBelieveInPink · 22/03/2013 09:19

Jbrd- snap! To a number of things! I also mc at 8 weeks, 5+5 today. And DH is away for a stag do the weekend when I will be 8 weeks, do was thinking of hibernating all weekend watching Disney and ignoring the world!
Also, yes to the waking up drenched in sweat! Gross- I am in my summer Pajamas now to try and stop it so much! How weird, didn't realise that was a symptom!

shellshock7 · 22/03/2013 10:29

Hi Jbrd, we'll all get thru 8 weeks together Smile

Well so much for the posifrickintivity of yesterday, what a bad night...kept waking with cramps which led to a knicker checking frenzy and bad dreams abt MMC at scans Hmm Internet cheapie line was as dark as control this morning so a bit reassured (nearly out of them now so will have to stop POAS Hmm) and felt sick all morning which has helped. What a roller coaster this is, can't wait for 12 week scan Confused

Bumps is still here as well, tho only tiny...I put on 4st with DS and only lost one after the birth Blush So did WW once I finished BF, since then I weigh myself every week and am currently 1lb under my target (lost 1/2lb this week) so it MUST be a baby bump right?! Grin

JBrd · 22/03/2013 11:05

IBelieve Well, I'm currently going by if it's not what I usually have, then it's a symptom, right?! Grin

shell Glad to hear I'm not the only one still poas - did one last night, and it came up really fast and very dark, yay. I'm almost out of tests as well, so guess I'll have to stop Confused. Saving my last FR for the weekend, a little Sunday treat (I am a sad sad person).
I also do a lot of knicker-checking, it's crazy.

DSiL is getting married when I'm 8 weeks - it's either going to be a nice distraction, or a complete nightmare. I don't want to tell anyone yet, but stupid DH told his parents already (without asking me first, grrrr Angry), so I guess we should really tell the rest of the family. Fortunately, his parents are very discrete, so they won't tell anyone, not even close family. Not like my mum, who blurted out to everyone last time that I was pg Angry.

Is any of you thinking of having an early scan? I can't make up my mind...

shellshock7 · 22/03/2013 13:11

JBrd I've got my last clear blue for the weekend, hoping to get 3+ weeks but I have a feeling I'm gonna be chicken and not be able to do it Blush

I have a wedding tomorrow with a very boozy crowd, I've just said that DS is poorly so wanna get home to him and I think people have believed that.

Still undecided about an early scan, I get so upset on the lead up to it DH thinks that will be worse for me than the worrying if I don't have one...I'm coping okish so far, well a lot better than with DS so gonna try not to have one...what are you pros and cons?
