YAY Crunchie!!!

HollyMonkey- You are not the only POAS-addict. Trust me. Last cycle I was out of control... and most of the other cycles before that. This is actually my first cycle where I have shown any amount of restraint. I guess thinking back on all the money I have spent has tempered me... Oh and I understand the tampon trick... done that before too.
Oh and if it's chamagne... let's have brunch... I've a strong craving for german pancakes and a mimosa. Mmm. Yummy.

 

[Mollykins]

Omgosh HollyMonkey! My eyes are stinging! That's amazing!

 

[Mollykins]

Question for all:

How are you going to tell your OH you are pregnant?

One idea is to put a digital test (that I've already wee'd on) on a plate in the oven with a dinner roll/bun and tell my OH, "I've got something in the oven, can you check on it for me?" I'm not sure I'd be able to stay calm and collected that long though!

I've never put wee in the oven, does wee baking smell good?

Omg I was so lucky with my last BFP! Imagine- DH's B'day, all afternoon cooking for romantic candlelit dinner, saw the bottles lined up (champagne starter, white with the fish, red with the cheese etc) so thought "better just test"- 4pm afternoon pee about 8 or 9 dpo- faint line. Oh I bring it up every time but I can't forget the magic, since it was as much a surprise for me as for him! (I'd had sore boobs and didn't think anything of them at the time, thought it was 'O'!!)

Hey Molly! DH wants that BFP before his next B'day, maybe I can serve it up to him with his romantic candlelit this time round too? fx'd!!!

I saw on a thread someone who'd written 'hello daddy' on their tummy, which, yes I agree a bit cheesy, but pretty cute too I thought. I couldn't do that, having had an mc it would all be too tear jerking in retrospect- and you've seen how quickly the taps turn on for me! But for you optimists...I think it's fun!

 

[Sassychic]

I'd probably get a little gift bag with a cheesy card and put the positive test in it and leave it somewhere for him to find it.

Or I'd wait until he offers me a mixed drink or glass of wine and casually turn it down..."Oh I shouldn't have that. I'm pregnant." And watch his face as he "gets" it.

 

[HollyMonkey]

my boooobbbbssss are killing !!!!!

My personal history;
I have been 2 X Pregnant;
I have had 2 X Boobs Kiiiiiillllliiiiinnnngggg
Boobs Killlliiiiinnnngg =

for you Crunchie

 

[Mollykins]

That would be too cute... re-enacting your bfp dinner. Aww!
As for the "Hello Daddy", that is cute, I'm good with the cheesy stuff sometimes.

 

[Mollykins]

Sassy- I quite like that second idea. "No dear, I really shouldn't." "Why not?" "It wouldn't be good for the baby." I would very likely have a heart attack due to all the excitement and emotions. Great idea nonetheless.

Oh, have you taken a test yet Sassy?

I saw on a thread a girl had made an invitation saying "John, you are invited to the birth of your first son/daughter on EDD at *hospital*" I thought that was a cute idea, especially if you could post it and then try to get it to arrive on a day where you're both together.

oh That's wonderfully cute too! The older I get, the more I love cheesy romantic stuff. Oh I wish I'd never had an mc then I could go headlong- I'm more of a 'today I'm pregnant, let's hope I am tomorrow'....I know it's awful but I think the expression is "once bitten, twice shy"????
But long live Cheesy Romance!!!!

 

[LittleSpy]

I'm wobbling again.
For no good reason, though.

I just felt one of those gushy feelings down below and though "Oh crap, here comes AF" but nope!

Why does everyone say they "just know" when they're pregnant? I definitely don't "just know." I haven't the slightest feeling of being pregnant. I fully expect AF to be here the next time I go to the bathroom. I almost feel like the is *stuck* or something. I've felt just like I'm about to start since Sunday evening but there hasn't even been even the slightest hint of blood.

I do love this thread .....It makes me feel so normal ! the tampon trick ....got to love that one and I thought I may be the only one that does that

before I had my MC I didnt have a clue I was preggers !!!! was in total shock as I felt nothing ! no symptoms at ALL

I have HUGE knockers anyway so sometime that just hurt ! but I will keep the faith

and my face is breaking out everywhere.......how mean is that !!!!!!

 

[Crunchie]

and I agree with the others littlespy......your going to get your BFP

 

[Mollykins]

LittleSpy- I can't tell you how many pregger women have felt that exact same way (about thinking AF is coming). I can't wait for your tomorrow!

Crunchie- Being normal is over-rated.

The Tampon Trick! So relieved I'm not the only one! It does start getting expensive this ttc stuff if you start including the cost of wasted tampons too! Much cheaper to just have a baby- I'll try telling DH that!

My sister's rabbit is called Crunchie

Gosh! that was a lot of catching up to do! that'll teach me for staying away too long. No symptoms today, but i woke up with a scratchy throat and a headache! really annoyed about this! Not b/c i don't want to be sick, but b/c of the timing... any symptoms i may or may not have will now be camouflaged by cold symptoms, and i'm sure my temp is going to be unreliable after today *sigh*

Fx'ed tightly for everyone still! looking forward to updates on Wednesday and Friday and those in between from littlespy

Hee hee that's why I thought I'd better drop in this morning, less catching up to do later!!
I have heard of sore throat as a symptom, but then I got one last month at a few dpo, which turned into flu, so I don't trust them. Gosh I should change my 'mood' indicator, I think it's making me more cynical than I actually am!!
Do you have a very runny nose and sneezing though? I had that with a pregnancy so I'm less cynical about runny noses than I am about sore throats! Ok ok I'll go and change that mood indicator....

not much of a runny nose or sneezing to report, just a sore throat and foggy head. i do feel better today tho, and i was wrong about my temps being messed up as it was only 97.9 this morning. i thought for sure it would be up since i felt feverish all night long. that mean AF is fast approaching. she needs to hurry up so i can enjoy some french wine!!
