Crunchie I'm sorry to hear about your painfully long cycle and others with one too. I was once jealous my mum and sister have twenty one day cycles and heavy periods to boot, they can both get pregnant on their period. I did not inherit this gene, it sucks. They have never had to ttc so don't know what I may go through/endure on this little crazy journey...

Emandi I defo had something to say to you but I forgot. Oh yes please please can dreams be a symptom I never dream but I have had a few vivid dreams in the past 5 days or so... I poas today... Negative!! Booo. Only 9 dpo though!! Fx'd for all of us...

I'm playing tiger woods so going to go typing on my iPhone is crap but I don't wanna miss anything! Ha...

Night all...

Some PMA for you ladies here...i'm going to tell you my stepmums story... In 2007 my stepmum was put on Levothyroxine for an under active thyroid, around 5 months after starting the medication she found out she was pregnant with her 9th child completely unplanned and totally in shock she had no idea what she was going to do about this by the time it had set in she knew this baby was given to her for a reason and she kept on with the pregnancy, in comparison to all her other pregnancies this was by far the worst. After numerous blood tests and extra checks everything was found to be ok. By the time she was 12 weeks she knew the sex even before the scans, she has 7 boys and 1 girl and she lost a little boy at 3 days old. She knew this baby was another girl, I spent the last 6-8 weeks of her pregnancy by her side as she had no birth partner and despises hospitals. At 11pm on 16/7/08 she came downstairs saying she had lost her mucus plug and she was having mild contractions, but there was no rush plenty of time and we had better go to bed. We went upstairs and she got in the bath and got her bag out ready for when her labour started properly. Then her waters began leaking and she stuffed a towel between her legs and went to bed. At 2am she woke me asking me to call an ambulance as the contractions were pretty strong, once in the ambulance she was happy with gas and air and we set off to hospital. Upon arriving into the labour suite at the general hospital she had her cervix checked and she was 7cm dilated (no need for a trip home then) within 30 mins she was ready to push...after 6 or 7 pushes I knew there was a problem and called for a midwife, the midwife checked and said stop pushing we need to check the foetal monitor, the baby was in distress and needed her oxygen checking...a doctor came and took blood from the top of the babies head to check her oxygen, when the doctor returned she said she needed a C-Section and fast. I had to sign the papers as my Other Mother was panicking and I explained what was happening, she asked for a general anaesthetic as she was terrified the baby was dead. At 7:46am on 17/7/08 I heard a baby cry and knew it was my little sister, I waited around and after 10-15 mins the midwife appeared and handed me a little bundle of blankets when I peered inside, this is what I found



The moral to this is just because your on medications or your a little older don't count yourself out just yet nor does having previous children, my stepmum is proof

Awww Kayleigh! When was she born!

Congratulations on your new sister! xxxxxxxxxx

 

[HollyMonkey]

Hey moll what state are you in?

She looks pretty good to me

x

Exactly what I thought when I saw Sarachka's question! Although I thought Molly might be in a bit of a panicky state since her family are arriving soon and the house needs tidying.....!

 

[TrinityMom]

Yes, I feel your pain . I don't think I would cope with 4 of them.
Hope you are having vivid dreams . I am only saying that to add another symptom .

I had very vivid dreams of a triphasic temp chart! Fertility Friend was using my chart as an example of a triphasic chart with a bfp. Woke up feeling very happy

Still a bit crampy today
very gassy
bloated
slight headache when I woke up
temp 37.1
and...new symptom....hectic bleeding gums when I brushed my teeth

stn but still early days

Hi Crunchie

[newbie_ttc]

Mmk ladies! i leave for too long and return to a thread full of NMA!! this dreadful TWW is getting the best of just about all of us... we must do better (or at least pretend to do so!). After all, the BnB world is watching.

1. lots more PMA
2. symptoms lists (be it made up or real)
3. images of wee sticks!

Morning all!https://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Nature/soleil5.gifhttps://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Nature/soleil5.gifhttps://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Nature/soleil5.gif

Having woken up feeling very negative about my lack of symptoms I have decided to nonetheless exercise sheer positivismhttps://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Nature/soleil5.gif all day long. Plus when I went up to get LO she was standing in bed again, she looks so funny vertical!https://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/B%E9b%E9s/bebe-fille.gifAnd she's so proud and giggly about it, and wiggles her bum around in a little happy dance!

So love and joy to all today, despite my grumpy "no symptoms" undercurrent!https://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Nature/soleil5.gif

Thanks for sharing your story xGingex, what a cute sister!I'm so glad it all worked out for your stepmum in the end

Crunchie have your cycles always been long? I'm sure you'll O very soon...We are all rooting for that egg to mature and rupture

Hope you have a lovely time with your folks Molly, and don't get ourself in too much of a state will you?

Well there's more sunshine on this post than in Paris where it's dark, cold and rainy (where's that snow they promised?) so I'm off to an indoor shopping centre where it will be warm, bright and colourful, and where they've put a merry-go-round up for christmas, a beautiful traditional one with barrel organ music. That is one of the best things about having a baby too little to go on her own, it's an excuse to get a ride on a merry-go-round without looking like a nutter!

I was the same!

Click on the little paperclip sign above the message box and a bnb browse window will come up, so click on browse, which will take you to your computer where you select your pic, then back on the bnb browse window you click on the 'upload' box (I have to slide along to the right to see it on my screen, but maybe your bnb browse window comes up full screen) Et voila. You won't see the pic until you 'preview' or 'submit' message.....

Look forward to seeing that BFP!

ooh symptoms galore, luvvin it https://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Content/U_JUMP%7E1.GIF

My temp was 36.9 today, I don't really know how or why I've suddenly started temping but hey. Still fairly hot for me, especially given the temperature of our bedroom at the mo! But not a sausage of a symptom. I guess others have had BFP's with no 4dpo symptoms, HOPEFUL, HOPEFUL, remember your mood indicator HollyMonkey!!

Good morning Jeynie ,
It's yes from me. Vivid dreams are a sign. Had it with both pregnancies, even woke up crying a few times .
... I have a confession ... POAS today. Nothing to share.

have a lovely day

 

[Sarachka]

Morning all!

I have ZERO energy today, worse than usual. I'm never the most energetic of people any more but today I am totally floored already. How can I get some energy with out caffeine? I HOPE THIS IS A SIGN.

I'm feeling sick this morning but that's not entirely unusual for me.

 

[HollyMonkey]

Morning Sarchka and Emandi

I am a real poas addict because I want to pee NOW If I had more sticks I would, OPKS would be fine.

Ah that's so cute Trinitymom, god bless little Ayla

I had the opposite dreamwise, I seemed to stop dreaming during preganancy, and started again a few months after her birth. But it may be because I didn't often sleep the night through so didn't get to the REM stage or wherever dreams start happening!

Oooooo I have positive vibes for yooooou....

Mind you I'm feeling the lack of caffeine too, especially in the afternoon now I'm not having my expresso after lunch!

 

[HollyMonkey]

but to be honest sarachka I reckon if you need the boost a little coffee this morning wont do any harm.

I think they say no more than 2 cups a day, we're just a little Extreme here! Most people don't even suspect they're pregnant until in another couple of weeks! We are ttc loopy heads.
