Yogi - happy 7 weeks! And just think, you will see that heartbeat and you will feel more relaxed

Happy New Year to everyone! I hope 2011 only brings the best!

 

[LucyJ]

Mel you up to anything tonight?

Yogi that sounds like a good evening food sounds yummy.

Wow girls, I'm envious of all of you who are staying home for a snuggle in. I'd much rather do that then get dressed up and go to a party with a bunch of drunkards. It's supposed to rain tonight as well. If I knew I was pregnant, I wouldn't mind not drinking. But not knowing makes it so much harder. I'll probably have a glass or two of champers.

Hey Luce, I just noticed you are 6 weeks today! Happy 6 weeks to you. I could be wrong, but I think Vicky is 30 weeks today!

Have a glass of Champs - I know I am...I had a glass or two of Chardonnay every night before I knew I was actually pregnant...alcohol is my good luck charm. I think we all need to celebrate and let loose a little. I'm actually jealous you have a party to go to...we're doing the snuggle thing but it would be nice to have an excuse to dress up...any pics of the party dress??? Bet you look great!

 

[heart tree]

I never thought about what I was going to wear! I was just looking through my closet and everything is so old. I'm not sure I would fit into any of my old party dresses to be honest. If it rains I don't want to wear my fabulous gray boots because they will get water stained. If I can't wear those boots, I don't know what I'll wear. I think that's one of the reasons I don't want to go. I don't have an outfit to wear!

 

[heart tree]

Liz I was just looking at your chart. Why is FF giving you dotted lines?

 

[grandbleu]

When I was a New Yorker I always wore black and you could never go wrong and rain won't show up on black! Add a funky scarf or earrings or necklace and it makes it a New Years outfit.

Chic and beautiful! Hope you can find something.

Liz I was just looking at your chart. Why is FF giving you dotted lines?

I know I'm so mad...I'm such a charting nerd. But I think it's because I don't track CM, CP or use OPKs so they don't trust my temping methods GRRRRR...and you see the open circle...I wake up one morning a wee bit late and I'm punished by FF...it's worse than a school master!

I'm pretty sure CD16 is Oday despite it's silly dotted lines...I feel like I'm just being scolded for not being perfect TTCer.

 

[heart tree]

I didn't always track CP or CM so I don't think it is that. It could be that you didn't use an OPK, but that seems weird. I'm wondering if it has to do with the fact that you had 2 of the same temps on CD 17&18 and CD 19&20. Maybe it wants to see more temps rise. I still think you Ov'd on CD 16 as well.

I have a black dress and I could belt it. I have black boots I can wear. I'm not sure about the jewelry and I definitely don't have a funky scarf, just practical ones to keep me warm. I'm sure I'll be able to put something together. I just like wearing new outfits, not my tired old stuff! LOL!

 

[grandbleu]

I agree Hearty - new is always more fun but I'm sure you will be beautiful!

 

[LucyJ]

Hearty hope you find something to wear I am sure you will look stunning hope you have a fab night.

 

[heart tree]

Thanks Lucy! I'll work something out.

You sound like you are in a good place right now. I'm so proud of you for getting this far. You are a strong woman my dear.

Still working on these cards. I'm loving the process of making them. It's fun because I'll make one then check in with you all. I have everyone on my mind right now. xoxo

 

[LucyJ]

Yeah I am tonight some serious nausea has kicked in tonight which has helped and it was after I had eaten so know it wasn't down to hunger. When I saw my friend who knows I'm pregnant she said I looked really well and had a glow to me like I'd been out in the sun which was lovely especially as I feel like I look rough.

Thank you I never really think of myself as being strong. I know one thing for sure there is no way I would have got through this year without you and the other wonderful women I've met on here I feel lucky to know you just wish it was under different circumstances iykwm.

I have to admit to having not got cards in the post yet but will do this week it's one of my things to do when Steve goes back to work on Tuesday.

 

[yogi77]

yogi my love ur numbers are Fab!! Tests get lighter the higher ur hcg goes I did a little experiment one Frer with FMU and one frer with FMU mixed with water on the same morning this wad around 7 1/2 weeks and the one with water was double as dark as the un diluted one complete madness I'm telling u!!! Try it though babe it works, after a certain stage the preg test just can't break down the HCG, fx'd for your next scan babe

ok i couldn't resist and I tried this with my last couple of dollar store tests...on the undiluted urine test the test line and control line were equal colour and then I filled the urine cup up with water so it was about half urine, half water, and did another test and the test line was darker than the control line.

no more hpts, I promise...

Hi to all you Disco chicks,

Not stopped by for a while but i'm always checking in on you all, you were a fantastic help to me over my darkest times, just wanted to wish you all the best for 2011 and lets hope all our wishes come true. x

Rach

 

[heart tree]

Yogi, does that make you feel any better? See? We disco girls know what we're talking about! Your bean is snuggled in just fine.

Lucy, yay for symptoms! Don't worry about the cards. I'll probably get my in the mail on Monday.

Hi Rach. Looks like you're coming along nicely. Congrats.

 

[Allie84]

Happy New Year everyone! It's already 2011 for Vicky and Liz, and will be for our UK girls in an hour!

Thanks for being such a wonderful, supportive part of a really crappy 2010. You guys are the best.

Allie that weather is crazy if you can't go out could you stay in, snuggle up and watch a movie.

Definitely turns out that's the best idea. We managed to go out for lunch to one of the only open restaurants...and on the way home we couldn't see a thing and drove straight into a snowbank! We rented a DVD (Knight and Day) and are going to snuggle up with that.

It sounds like a lot of us have similiar evenings planned. You definitely are strong, Lucy, and I'm really happy to hear you're feeling nauseaus and pregnant!

Liz I was just looking at your chart. Why is FF giving you dotted lines?

I read about this...and it's because it likes to rely on more signs than just your temp for the advanced and research method detector. If Liz changes her method to fertility awareness I believe it will rely on only her last 6 pre ov temps and therefore give her solid cross hairs. I believe.

ok i couldn't resist and I tried this with my last couple of dollar store tests...on the undiluted urine test the test line and control line were equal colour and then I filled the urine cup up with water so it was about half urine, half water, and did another test and the test line was darker than the control line.

no more hpts, I promise...

Oooh, I'm glad that worked!!! Thanks Cazz! Did that make you feel better? I hope so.

Yogi, enjoy staying in like the rest of us (except Hearty). Hearty, I hope you find something suitable to wear. I'm sure you'll look just stunning no matter what you wear, of course!

 

[heart tree]

Allie nice work on the FF research! Makes sense.

Sounds like a scary drive. Glad you are home safe and sound! Have a good snuggle in.

I found 2 dress options to wear. I didn't think I would fit into either of them but I did

I was just doing some research on drinking during the tww. I think that I'll be fine with 2 glasses. I really don't want to feel left out. (Who am I kidding, I simply LOVE champagne!) One when I get there and one at midnight. I'll drink water in between.

Yay to our girls already in 2011. Amy is too!

 

[Allie84]

Yay, Happy 2011 to Amy! I guess I have no idea what timezone Norway is in.

Definitely enjoy a few guilt-free glasses of champagne, Hearty! As someone mentioned, the relaxation will probably be good for baby creation.

 

[heart tree]

The only reason I know her timezone is that I have everyone's times programmed into my phone. I can quickly look to see where everyone is.

Only a couple of minutes until the rest of our ladies across the pond ring in the New Year!

PS - I finished my cards in 2010!!!
