Hi guys, i am new here but on the same page with you....i am on 12DPO and already feeling that AF symptoms are checking in...i am crossing ma fingers that its the opposite though! Baby Dust to you all....

 

[emandi]

I think I just experienced my first evap! Just looked at the test I used earlier and a faint line has appeared. Luckily I'm in a fairly rational mood so know it is most likely an evap.

Essie
that might be hcg building up ... great!
Let us know.

 

[emandi]

Have tested again with fmu and its back to just one pink line, so I think the second pink line was definitely an evap. That'll teach me for looking at the test after the time limit!

Essie, I am sorry , I really believed that was it for you.
Don't give up, maybe that was a sign and it's going to happen next round for real.

Look Girls! Me got ticker too
Did it all on my own too- I discovered that if I did what they told me to do it worked! "I am likely not fertile today" Too right

Hi Maxina,
and welcome .
Have you tested yet? It is such a tricky business and all so confusing! What symptoms do you have?
Hope you get some good news soon. Let us know how it goes.

LittleSpy- they schedule you at 8 weeks here in the states and at that appointment they check your height, weight, blood pressure, I believe they prick your finger for iron level check, listen to the HEARTBEAT!!! (My favorite part ) and they figure your EDD (even though you already know it ) They will do an internal check- yes, kind of like a pap. They will check your uterus size to see if you are pregnant with twins or a single. That's all pretty basic stuff, they may do more depending on your history or whatnot. Perhaps you can call?

Yeah that's right, the heartbeat bit is fab, made me cry everytime (surprise surprise)-scary moment waiting for it though! We get sent straight down to the blood test lab here- toxo, iron, sugar, AIDS, measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox, Hepatitis (types ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ) and many more besides....the full monty!

Look at us Emandi, poor Maxina barely has a minute to introduce herself and there we both are;
Our apologies Maxina. Sit down. Have a Relax.

So Maxina, good weather here today. Any idea, you know, when you might ?

Oh Holly, I love you! You are as patient as I am.

Ladies ,
does any of you have some experience with pre-seed?
And where to get it cheaper ?

Oh, essie! I'm excited about your FMU tomorrow!

I did a digi with afternoon pee I had only been holding for about 2 hours (which is just about the maximum amount of time I can hold it at this point )!

For some reason, every time I take another test I think "Okay... NOW it's official!"

Unfortunately I can't explain about adding and subtracting to your temp when you're temping. I just tried to take mine between 7am and 8am every day. I was so excited about it I was waking up before 8am on my own on the weekends to take it (I'm a sleeper inner for sure).

I have a question for all the lovely ladies with LOs already -- when did you schedule your first OB visit? I think the standard in the US is 8 weeks... but I'd really love to schedule my first at 12 weeks for insurance purposes. Is that terribly wrong? If I go in December it's like I'm just throwing away hundreds of dollars. And I guess I don't see too much of a point in going before then anyway. I already comprehend the whole eat healthy, avoid certain foods, & take vitamins bit. What do you all think, honestly?

Hey LittleSpy

Congrats again! There's no doubt after you see that word appear eh? (Not that there ever was )

I love your relaxed attitude to the time between now and seeing your OB. I really wish I could take a leaf out of your book as I'm a total paranoid freak about everything. For me, I need peace of mind that everything is ok and will be getting a scan on the 16th (approx 6-7wks by my reckoning) and depending on how that goes, I may pay for one between that time and my dating scan which will be around 12 weeks.

The financial implications are obviously different for you than for me as we have NHS cover for most stuff. Perhaps I'd feel exactly the same as you if I was in your shoes (I really wish I did )

Anyway, I know my opinion is slightly null and void not already having a LO, but I was really interested to read your post. (I am far too nosy not to check in with you lovely ladies )

I hope early pregnancy is treating you well LittleSpy and I wish you all the very best sweetie x

Molly, AF is due on Sunday. I'm dissapointed but not too bad, I knew I'd be super lucky to fall in the first month. Got a serious case of line eye this morning though, kept thinking ooh I see something, but nothing there.

I don't really know why I'm replying since I have no experience whatsoever of pre-seed, I'm not even 100% sure of what it is- a friendly lubricant I believe?
Hope I've been of some help to you Emandi. Anytime if you have more questions

Yes it's a bit formal isn't it, the ticker thing. I could get some knickers like those ones Newbie showed us, but the big comfy pants version with "I am likely not fertile today" printed on them.
LO is just having a nap so I whizzed round and did (but not ) in record time= more BnB time!
I'm very proud of my ticker but it's actually wrong, just re-counted and my cycle was 31 days but hey what the heck. Or could I get fined for presenting false information?
