[snowflakes120]

OMG HANDS!!! I am soooooooo very very very happy for you!! There is nooo doubting those lines!! I so had a feeling that this was your month! I really did!! You guys did it on your squiffy cycle too! And your weirdo Dr was right!

And because I have short cycles our dates aren't really all that far apart!! Look at us!! We can be bump buddies too!! Haha - Your gonna be an ear tomorrow!!

Nic - Can't wait to know your EDD and for you to get your scan done!

 

[NotNic]

I am ridiculously excited about things now. I hope Pip is dancing around too! I can't wait for tomorrow (touch wood it goes okay) and last night I got my letter about my booking in appt with my midwife for next Friday. It all feels real.

This IS a lucky thread. Plus we now have some common links for a BFP. 1) Belong to this thread. 2) Eat a lot of blueberries and 3) Have a squiffy cycle!

OMG I have only just managed to get on today Hands that is awsome yay I am sooo pleased for you hun wee hee. I bet your hubbie is over the moon as well.

Nic - I love TOWIE. I wish my husband was a bit daft at times he is always right and it drives me nuts lol. Good luck at your scan tomorrow and remember if its under 7 weeks you might not see a heart beat but that is fine so don't stress.

Bex - I told my boss today actually, I didn't want to say anything until I knew the NT was all ok. I am sure you will get your sticky BFP before Christmas so you will be one of those pregnant women at work soon lol.

:wave: hi everyone else, I can't believe how many BFP's we have had on this thread it is super lucky. I am on an over 30's thread and have been for about 7 months and only 3 of us have got BFP's so far!

What a wonderful happy thread today I love it! How is your OH taking the news Hands? Was he with you when you took the test?!

Bea - you were the first and the original on this thread to get their BFP so i think you are created hte luck for the thread - and it means you are going to be the first to pop

CH - its just you and me now to join the gang. We can do it - DEFINTELY by Christmas!!

Oh and I love TOWIE too! Shuuut uuuup!

Snow - I think my ticker might be off 5 days since i ovualted 5 days later than normal... either way... looks like our due date will be about a week or less apart!! Can't get much closer than that.

Nic - Tell us how your appointment went!!! We want a Due Date!!!! oh and BTW you can add number 4. Most of us used the doggie style position on our BFP month (if i remember right) .. i know i did. Thats the one thing i did different this month.

Ch- Have you started baby dancing yet?

Bex - I just know that you and CH will get your BFP's soon!!!! Then the six of us (Bea, you, CH, Nic, Snow, and I can be bump buddies together)

Bea- I'm so happy that you have had a healthy pregnancy. I know i took some toxic meds (Cat. B pregnancy drug) about 3 weeks ago... that i need to tell the obgyn about and im praying that those don't affect the baby. Did you worry much, or just sat back and enjoyed it all? Are you showing yet?

AFM - i was really thirsty today and felt consipated. Also was having cramps like AF was going to show and dripping watery CM. I went to the doc and they are doing a blood test and are going to get back with me to confirm it.. .and then do a consult for a obgyn. I can't believe this is really happening!!! I'm gonna have a Dexter or Hannah in my arms.

Thank you guys for all of your support and happiness!!! I dont know how i would have done it emotionally without you guys. I am truly Blessed.

My OH is like an overgrown andrex puppy sometimes! I know he is going to ask some crackers at the scan tomorrow! He has me in stitches with some of his questions. Can't wait for the morning now!

 

[InHisHands]

Doctor confirmed with a blood test. I am PREGNANT!!!!!!! The OBGYN will call in 3 to 5 days to set up an appointment... YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[NotNic]

Congratulations Hands! Woo hoo! Did they give you an EDD?

My scan went well this morning. They saw a heartbeat plus there is only one. Yay! (Hubby is a twin and there are a lot of twins on both sides so I was a wee bit concerned!) They have given me an EDD of the 10th June, however I have had another look at my dates and that means I got spotting really early at 6DPO, so I wouldn't be surprised if at my next scan they bring my date forward a couple of days - which the nurse said isn't uncommon. It is really reassuring for me, but I think my OH got much more out of it than I did. I think he was concerned there was nothing there whereas I was sure. I would've had to have a really overactive imagination to conjure up ms!

What it does mean, is that I, Snowflakes and Hands will all be due in June! Woo hoo!

 

[InHisHands]

YAY Nic!!!! That is soooooo wonderful!!! I am so glad that the scan went well!!!!

They havent given me an EDD ... but according to my ovulation date (because i did have a positive opk)... my EDD would be June 26th. -- That is my hubby's dad's birthday.

And i found out last night that hubby's sister is due with number 4 in march ... so we will have a cousin that is around the same age (not that we live near each other lol)

If they go by the date of my last period... my EDD will be June 21st. That is what my tickers are showing. So when i go in, i might have to push them back 5 days... just waiting to hear what the doctor has to say.

I still have snot everywhere and im coughing up chunks now and my voice is really strained. I really hope it gets better soon or that the obgyn will know of some better more effective meds i can take that will be safe. Robitussin dm and benedryl just aren't doing the job.

Snow - do you have any symptoms yet? Are your boobs still sore? Mine aren't sore.... yet.

 

[CHDickey]

Good morning ladies!!! Have a fabulous Friday and here's to restful weekends, good news, and for me BD-ing!!!

 

[NotNic]

LOTS of CH. You can do it! xx

 

[InHisHands]

Im rooting for you CH. I hope that this is your month girl!!!!


Nic, Snow, Bea - has it set in for you... that this really is happening and that something is growing inside of you? In less than a year, you are gonna have spitup and poop everywehre. I am sitting here just a little dumbfounded by it all.

 

[snowflakes120]

Hi girls!!

Hands - Congrats on your ear today!! Still just my boobs. Have had a few twinges this AM. But basically just the tender boobs still! I've been eating extra fiber and drinking lots of water to hopefully combat the constipation. When I go home tonight I can look up what snotty meds are pregnancy safe on the list that my OBGYN gave me for you. Kinda jealous that you already had bloodwork - I don't get mine til Nov. 1 with my scan! Last night I remembered that one my cousins is getting married in October next year. Then I started thinking that I would have a 4 month old baby to tend to at the wedding, then I was thinking about driving 10-11 hrs home or flying home with a 4 month old baby. Oh lordy! I will do it as my cousins are basically my sisters and brothers - grew up in a very close family.

Nic - Hooray on your EDD!! Just a bit before me!! And a scan!! Awesome news!! I am secretly hoping for the twins truthfully! But I highly doubt it! My mom is a twin and my dad has twin sisters. Hubby has twins in his family as well.

CH - Go hit those sheets this weekend girl!

Bex - How's your 2ww going so far?? How ya feeling?

Bea - Can't believe just 7 of y'all are pregnant. That is crazy. Glad you didn't tell me that before - I am 31 and would have been even more worried about how long this was going to take! Any bump pictures yet that we could see???!!! I want to see some belly girl!

AFM, Another one of my cousins found out yesterday that she is having a girl. She already has a boy so I am excited for her! I sooooo wanted to tell my mom our news last night when she told me about my cousin. But I am totally waiting til xmas!! Nothing else new... Anyone got anything fun planned for the weekend? We are having a date night tonight and going out to eat - not sure where yet though. And I'm not sure what else but I am sure something will pop up as usual.

 

[NotNic]

I'm off to a wedding! We're driving down early tomorrow morning and staying down at the coast for the weekend. Its one of my eldest school friends and I'm so excited to see her get married. She's greek so the party is going to be so much fun. Can't wait!

 

[InHisHands]

I'm going to my brother's wedding tomorrow. All this wedding talk! How cool. I've never been to a greek wedding before Nic. Have Fun!!!!

Snow, twins?! After reading stuff online today about what it is like when you take your newborn home and everything you need to know... i think one is plenty!!! Nerves are starting to hit me already!! LOL

BTW - i called the OBGYN. I have an appointment Nov 15th... to do medical history and etc... and from there i will make another appointment which will be my first REAL one This is all happening too fast all the sudden. Where are the brakes?

 

[Srbjbex]

hehe - I'm trying to pretend to myself that its not a real 2ww, its only really a 2ww until the arrives. Seeing as we only BD'd a couple of times around what I think was the right time (who knows, no opks or temps for me this month so relying on good old fashioned nature to tell me!) it is highly unlikely. But still got secret hope....

I have decided that if still no witch on 4th November I am going to test - thats 6weeks after miscarriage - and also is my birthday, so it would be a good birthday pressie if it is good news.

Looks like we have a lot of twin family history on this thread! I have twin brother and sister - they are 18 and just started uni....so maybe we could all end up with twins!!!!

 

[Srbjbex]

oh...and this weekend not doing too much. Cheering husband along in the Birmingham half marathon (rather him than me!!)

yay for all the weddings! I like weddings, my brother got engaged last weekend - they havent set a date yet but I really hope I have the dilemma of having a baby with me!!

Actually, when I got married in March, my maid of honor was very very pregnant and gave birth the following day!!!!!!!! Close call!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CHDickey]

Weddings and twins!! I had a prego in my wedding and another bridesmaid who had hers 2 weeks before!!

Yeah- my DH has twin cousins and his grandfather was a twin! I have twin cousins and a set of great grandparents that were twins too!! How funny if one of us ended up with doubles!!

I cannot wait to hear what y'all are having and names!

 

[Swangrl]

i asked my dr when i went last monday and she said every other day to BD is better you can deplete sperm i guess!!!! so thats what we did. I am testing on 26th if the witch hasn't showed up yet!! Good luck everyone and lots of baby dust!!
