OMG Espero, CONGRATS hun!!!

I am so glad I popped in and saw that update, as I've been a bit busy this week and haven't bnb'd much!

 

[baileybubs]

Woohoo!!! Yay congratulations espero!! So happy for you Hun!

Tawn hope the sleep coaching is going well Hun!

 

[MrsDuck]

Espero whoo hoo congratulations, I told you bfp's were like buses on this thread, it's all or nothing. Get that dr phoned first thing tomorrow yay I'm so pleased or you xx

Bailey I'm sure you're right, it's just that it's unknown at the moment coz they are so new. Baby definitely knows when I'm using it though. I can feel movement now so I don't feel the NEED to use it, but I do enjoy listening

Hi Tawn how is Madison doing with her sleep now?

Sath, ttc and cath, I've got everything crossed for your bfp's too

I didn't watch it cupcake, I cried at that new sainsburys ad where the kids are filming a Christmas message for their dad who's a soldier and he surprises them and they scream with joy! It's lovely but even typing this now I'm feeling weepy so I don't think I could have coped watching children in need!
How are you and Zach today cupcake?

What's everyone up to this weekend?

omg thats my fave advert! i cried when i saw it last night!

Sorry its been a while since iv been on weve both been really poorly. hubby is still poorly.

Espero congrats! this really is a lucky thread!

Well, y last cycle was sept 25th. still no sign of AF. Had what i thought was a pos hpt the other day but not had one since so got a docs apt tomorrow to request a blood test. if im preg in 8 weeks tomorrow. the only symptoms i have are runny poops (sorry tmi) tingly and pelvis stretching pains/aches. No af pains or signs shes coming which i suppose is good but confused by only one pos hpt.

how are all you ladies doing Cheyl congrats hun!

Mrs D i cant believe youre almost half way already!!

everyone else. i havent caught up properly yet so will get on it right now xxx

 

[baileybubs]

Hi fletch! Nice to "see" you Hun! What test did you use? Oh I really hope it's your time hunni you really deserve it!!
That advert is great isn't it, although a tear jerker lol! I think it's a real video too, not actors!
Sorry you and hubby have been poorly Hun, that sucks! And those symptoms sound awesome, runny poops was a big one with me for Emilia!

Mrs d no house news again Hun? What you been up to today? Are you feeling movement daily now?

I used a few ic's, then 2 from the chemist (their own brand) nd 2 from my local supermarket (their own brand) cos frers and cb digi never agreed with me. i got my + on ic. ill try post a pic

Yeah i think thats why i cried. that cute guy on his own with the perfect timing christmas dinner.

I think it could be the pizza we had last night but i think im just trying to find different excuses for why i feel like i do. guess ill know more after tomorrow fxd ill be sent for bloods. cos my next cycle is due the 27th of this month.

 

[fletch_W]

bnb ruins the pic but its ink not an evap. i even had hubby running into the bathroom thinking id hurt myself haha. he saw it straight away and rang docs for an at bless him xxx

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah put a pic on Hun, let's have a look. Do you have any idea when you ovulated? Did you use FMU for them all? Got everything crossed for you to get good news from the blood work! I've got a good feeling about it for you though Hun coz BFPs are like buses on tsh thread and this will be BFP number 4 since the beginning of November! November is now a lucky month for the lucky thread, the universe must have listened

 

[baileybubs]

Ooh yeah I definately see a line there Hun, are the ICs more sensitive than the others you used? When did you do that IC? Sorry for all the questions lol!!

 

[fletch_W]

My last af was 25th sept and i usually o around cd18-19. we bd'd on cd17 after a long fishing trip lol. I used my afternoon pee for this test. i also did one at the same time and diluted it because i thought 'im 3 weeks late maybe its the hook effect' so im not sure if this is the diluted test or not. but a + is a + right? so the rest of the tests i have used fmu and i even tried the diluting again but nothing. very strange

 

[fletch_W]

i did that test 13th of Nov. cd50 ish. yeah the other tests are 25miu and the ics are 10. but iv done an ic since and nothing. its okay for the questions xx

 

[baileybubs]

Hmmm strange, like you said perhaps the hook effect though, I really hope so Hun! How long will you have to wait for the blood results?

 

[Tawn]

Aww Fletch, as I said before hun, that SO looks like a + to me. I really hope tomorrow's appt sheds some light for you and DH!

I'm good thanks Bailey! The sleep traning was HARD going at first (even the consultant said they had rarely heard of a baby as persistent as Madison lol) but things have been AMAZING the last couple of nights! Last night she went to sleep by herself with nothing more than one quick whimper (literally 2 seconds) and then slept from 7pm-4:30am, woke for a quick feed and then went back to sleep till 6am!

And we've had other nights similar to that too, I've had to get up and pump 2 out of the last 3 nights cause I've woken with rock solid boobies with her not feeding at least 2x a night! A true revelation, I am so happy it is working for her and she is getting the rest she needs.

But now we are sleep training naps and that is NOT going so well so far. It's only day 2, but she pretty much has refused to nap AT ALL both days. Stubborn minx!

Check this out https://www.pregnancylab.net/2011/05/false-negative-pregnancy-tests.html

It says that after about 5 weeks there are different variants of hcg in our system so could cause what's known as the variant hook effect, that sounds likely don't you think coz you would have been over 5 weeks wouldn't you?

 

[fletch_W]

if im preg im 8 weeks. iv got an apt tomorrow to ask for a blood test doing. ill have a read xx

 

[MrsDuck]

I hope your appointment sheds some light on what's going on fletch

Tawn that sounds amazing, sounds like Madison is doing so well, as are you, I hope you can crack the naps too and you won't know yourself, you'll be like a new woman haha

I've just been or a long walk collecting pine cones, I'm knackered now and freezing, think I'm going to light the fire

 

[baileybubs]

Oooh you're an onion mrs d! Make sure you warm up and don't catch a cold!

Tawn that's great news about night times Hun, sounds like it's really working! We still have a really hard time with Emilia's naps, but I've always been thankful that she sleeps well at night so just persevered with the naps. I find it hardest coz she will only sleep in her cot or rocking chair for naps, she won't sleep in the carb(very rarely) and never ever sleeps in her pram anymore, and she won't sleep by being rocked anymore so if we are out and about (like today taking df back and forth to work) she ends up overtired and then refuses to nap. Then when she does nap it's only ever for about 30 mins, 45 if we are lucky and I can't seem to think of any way to make her sleep longer lol! Maybe once she gets mobile she'll find it easier to nap though, for now we just keep trying lol! Are you using the same method with naps as you do with bedtime? Someone said routine is best for naps but it's hard if she hasn't napped for long enough coz then she's tired again an hour after waking so hard to have a routine such as bottle then nap.
Sorry I'm rambling lol!
How's your step son doing at the moment too? Is he still acting out because of bio mum? Must be so hard for him poor love, he's so lucky to have such a great step mum!

Fletch that would be fab if you were 8 weeks Hun! I'm keeping everything crossed for you!! They also say that the hook effect is a good sign of multiples! I really hope it is something like that, I know I've heard of lots of women who didn't get pos hpts but were pregnant. That one IC has to have been showing something doesn't it?

 

[MrsDuck]

Hey bailey, she has always been a great sleeper, I hope mines as good as Emilia. I'll definitely be asking you for tips

I think I'm feeling baby most days now, I can't wait til hubby can feel him too as I'm sure he thinks I'm imagining it. It always seems to be in the same area so I'm convinced its baby

I've got more apples to use up so tonight I think I'm going to try putting apple bits into a simple biscuit recipe, not sure how they will turn out.

I saw your post about your dinner yesterday with the pesto, I'm glad it was a hit
