LUCY!! OMG!!! Congrats!!!

Good thing I have absolutely no interest in sex....I think this BFP stuff is catchy!!

 

[msarkozi]

LUCE!!!!! wow, congrats girl!!!! that made me smile big time seeing that flashing before I even read it!!! awesome here is to a happy and healthy pregnancy!

Hoping - that is awesome! good luck reviewing the couples

Champix is that pill for quitting smoking. I think it the US it is called Chantix or something like that? It has helped a lot of people I know to quit smoking, but it isn't effective for everyone. And it makes a person moody as well.

So I took Kash to see the doctor this morning, and the poor guy has Impetigo! He has been battling a cold for a couple weeks and we are finally starting to see a little improvement, but all of a sudden the other day he broke out with some spots around his nose and a couple odd ones on his face. So took him in, and it is an infection. Hopefully the antibiotic works quickly and he can get rid of this infection! The doctor said that his cold turned into a sinus infection (I knew I should have trusted my instinct last week), and then the staph bacteria got to him causing the impetigo. Thankfully it's only contagious by the blisters breaking open and someone with an open wound touching the fluid....so he is still at daycare.

Lucy OMG I can't believe your pregnant too, ahhhh I love all the excitement over here.xx

 

[Sugarlove2]

Omg Lucy that's amazing news! BFPs are coming out left, right and centre now! Post a pic plse.

Cesca sorry to hear you've not been feeling well recently. I've had 2 lots of cbt for panic attacks a few yrs ago and it's really helpful. Are you going to get any counselling too? Maybe that would help to deal with the traumatic birth etc.

I'm cd 7 now and wondering if I can muster up enough energy to BD next week. At this rate, it may take some time.

 

[Sugarlove2]

Hoping that's great news about the profiles! Hope you find the perfect match for you!

Cesca, I've just reread your post and see you have started counselling. I'm reading and typing this in the bath

 

[hoping:)]

Holy cow!!! LUCY YOU ARE PREGGO I can't believe the surge of new Disco babies lately! My guess is Allie is next after her romantic, water park gettaway!


I keep calling Tim every 30 minutes because I am so excited. I already really like one of the couples. Their story touched me and the way the husband described the wife reminds me a little of my mother. Tim and I are going to read the profiles together tonight... he knows I'm excited about one of them but thinks I shouldn't get overly excited since it is the 1st batch. We will see!

I did have to laugh because all the couples are Asian... I guess maybe they think I am Asian as well

Mel, I know a few people who have stopped with Champix but who have had noticeable emotional side effects, defo keep an eye on that

Cesca, that sounds really rough, well done for getting yourself to the dr and getting the right support. Your working hours do sound very hardcore, but it does seem a bit counter productive to medicate so you can continue to exist in a situation thats causing you issue, but they are helping with the counselling which is the important thing - you might feel initially much better because the weight is now shared or it might take some time but

i suspect the courses are quite short, they cant afford to do long courses of counselling, although im sure they think its the combination of therapy and meds that would work best for you - i don't know enough about the meds to comment. CBT is a good immediate starting point though. Were you talking about it before it all came to a head? Dont forget we are here to listen too...

Lucy - OMG!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

bloody hell, its all happening here isnt it. I need to dust my vuvuzela off and start making some noise.

(haha at lengthwise lying, eloise does that too, am often fending off kicks to the temple and her flopping down on my head - and yeay at sleeping through the night, maybe he knew you needed your sleep!!)

Hoping, how exciting!!! i assume that its all confidential, and i am dying to know everything. Im gonna have to cross my legs, this is all too much.

Sugar - yoooooou next <fingerpointing>

Rounders - loving the fb pics!

 

[LucyJ]

Thanks girls Im still in shock a little I made steve check the test to confirm it was indeed positive and I wasnt seeing things

Sugar as requested some pics two of my bfp one taken with the flash on one taken without it and two pics of my gorgeous little boy who I got weighed today and his 19lb 12oz bless him.

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Lol Lucy Zach weighs 20lb 10ozs at only 7 months! He's on 9-12 months already!

Fab lines!

Afm we're due to move into our new house this weekend, every single part of the house is brand new and all I want to do is run away and never see my husband again, I need a bitch slap!

 

[msarkozi]

you are definitely not seeing things!!!! that is one great looking stick there lol!!! love the pictures of Benjamin, especially the walking one lol

 

[msarkozi]

Sass, do you have PPD at all? is there anything we can do to help make you feel better?

 

[Round2]

Lucy, that's a beauty BFP. I love POAS porn. Ben is adorable, wait till he hears the big news.

Sassy, sorry to hear things are rough with your hubby. I hope whatever happens with you guys is for the best.

Cesca, sorry to hear about the PPD issues. My hubby is experimenting with some of the anti-anxiety drugs now. They're not fun but his doctor is confident they should do some good eventually.

 

[Sugarlove2]

Oooh they are fine looking lines Lucy! How did Steve react?

Jesus Christ Sassy, what are you feeding Zach on? Charlotte is 1 on the 14th and she weighs 20lb 13. Why do you never want to see your hubby again?

Nato, did you make it to the docs today? You never told us what happened when you told John you were with child again? I love hearing other people's reactions!

Rounders, what meds is your hubby taking for the anxiety? I still take my low dose of citalopram. Seems to keep the panic at bay!

He just started taking Zoloft, but he's finding the drugs are making him feel worse. We know it's common to feel worse before you feel better, but it's been pretty rough. His doc also gave him ativan till the zoloft kicks in, but it's not doing much right now. It's been a very stressfull few weeks around here.

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Zach only had milk, he's allergic to nearly everything! He's just massive!

I'm just unhappy, it's nothing new!

 

[Sparkly]

OMG Lucy congrats sweetie lovely double pink lines

 

[NatoPMT]

cor great lines!!! do you know what dpo you are?

Sassy, poor you. Do you want a bitch slap or a hug? I can do either. We are here though if you want to talk x

Sugar, Im on it with CBB too.

Stupid drs was a nightmare - there was a 3 hour wait and i had to go to work. I got an appointment booked for the 17th, alternatively, because they are so busy I would have to go in at 8.30am every day until i got an emergency appointment. Gonna get my referral to UCH and go and get an early scan at the EPU straight away. By then I will be 7 weeks so would be a good time to get one.

What happened when i did the test...i only did the test cos we were going away and i didnt want to be thinking about it on christmas day boxing day when af was due. I just got a tesco test and casually mentioned it to john, and left the test on the side while we packed. I picked it up and started laughing saying there was a ripple in the plastic window making it look like there was a faint line. John snatched it off me and we grabbed it back and forth while holding it up to the window, saying 'there is, there's a bloody line'

I then walked to 4 chemists to get a FRER which had a proper line.

Lucys turn to answer that!!!

sorry to hear there's so much anxiety / depression - hope the meds work well rounders.

Sugar did you take them during pregnancy?

 

[LucyJ]

Steves really happy although I didnt tell him the best way I had my b12 injection so he picked us up from the drs after I'd had it I got into the car & went I need to tell you something I'm pregnant just blurted it out bless him he thought something awful had happened. Hes really exicted and is already looking after me.

Oh my god sassy you've got a chunky monkey there. Im sorry things arent good at the mo do you think moving into the house and being in your own space may help. Have you talked to danny about how you feel? Here if you need to talk.

 

[LucyJ]

Sorry Nato didnt see your post.

I think I'm about 13 dpo well I knew I had a frer upstairs and thought well no sign of af & I didnt feel like it was on way so decided this afternoon that I would test left benjamin playing downstairs while I did the test. I left it on the bathroom floor while I did some banking on the computer went back to check the test 100% convinced it would be neg I had to take a double look I could see the line before I picked the test of the floor. Then I walked round the room shakey like a leaf went down to call steve to find hed left his phone at home and my mum is in finland with my dad chasing the northern lights I did consider whether this counted as an emergency so I could call her but decided it didn't. Im calmer now but feel rough Ive been very tired slightly nausous and feeling faint but put that down to my injection being due guess it wasnt.

My crazy hubby is now dancing round the living room singing we're having a baby think hes happy
