Mid-August Testers

[InHisHands]

I hope you get your BFP swan

CH - are you using opks? Do you know/think you have ovulated ... or in the next few days?

Update Symptom for me: Hubby and i were grocery shopping tonight and we walked by one of those food vendors and she was cooking some meat (some sort of steak)... i started dry heaving on the spot and have been sick to my stomach "queezie" ever since. Cooked meat GAG!!!!

 

[InHisHands]

Woke up at 12am with a queezie.. restless stomach feeling. So im up on here drinking water and eating crackers. Please don't tell me this is what i have to look forward to (or worse)

Has anyone else experienced this, or have troubles sleeping?

 

[Srbjbex]

Aw hands sorry to hear you had a rough night!! Hope you got some sleep in the end.

 

[NotNic]

The smell thing is quite common Hands. I'm afraid that ms really isn't fun like that. Personally I don't have a problem sleeping but a lot of girls do. They suggest that you have a light snack - a slice of toast before bed, and have a drink and either some crackers or a Ginger biscuit next to the bed in case you wake up queasy. I find eating a little and often helps. Sorry it's hit you so soon.

 

[InHisHands]

i only got 3 more hours of sleep.... bringing up the total to 6 ... sleep 3 hours ... up for 4 and 1/2 hours ... sleep 3 hours. I am feeling better this morning though ans Hopefully i'll be able to sleep tonight.

Thanks for the advice nic. I'll try taking the crackers to bed tonight.

Another thing i have noticed is that due to hormones, i am very territorial over hubby and constantly wanting to cling on him LOL Poor man is getting loved to death.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CHDickey]

Ok- I am such a dumbo!!!

YEAH hands!!!!!!!! So super excited for you!!!

Here's what happened, my DH was on my phone and saw the thread and started reading it and I lost my spot!!! He didn't know I was on a forum, so so funny. He didn't understand any of the acronyms, so we had to have a conversation!! It was absolutely hilarious!! Do any of y'all's hubby's know about the thread? Mine was completely annamored!!!

 

[Srbjbex]

Haha CH!

I have told my husband all about you lovely ladies on this thread and how you keep me all sane!and I always update him each time one of you has got their BFP! I've also taught him a few of the acronyms....he likes POAS best!

 

[InHisHands]

Yes my hubby knows about the thread and i update him on how you all are doing. He even reads through the posts over my shoulder while im getting "updated." He is totally into this pregnancy and wants to know everything i know. Hubby's favorite thing is the baby dancing emote


BTW - sickness comes and goes and my boobs went up a whole cup size in a day and a half. Had to go bra shopping this afternoon... and i started getting that shooting pain in one of my boobs that snow mentioned earlier. Ugh! Oh and hubby says i have a constant smile plastered to my face and glow... aaaawwwwww


CH - did you get to baby dance yet?

Bex - its good to hear from you this weekend. It gets quiet around here on the weekends... everyone spending time with hubby i am assuming.

 

[Srbjbex]

Yep it does get quiet...! I'm normal lingering around though...

I've just watched the last ever episode of Spooks (do you get that in the US?).... Amazing! Feel like I need some time now to recover! Good job TOWIE is on to counteract the tension!

 

[InHisHands]

I don't think we do Bex.

BTW you guys were right... the 1st Trimester forum is scary! They would have you believe 50 percent of all pregnancies end in a miscarriage over there... and not the 10-25 percent that statistics say. Post after post about pregnancy abnormalities. It kind of got me worked up tonight.. thinking about all of that.. so i closed that window out.

 

[CHDickey]

I will have to let him know about the other hubbies!! I has asked all about you guys! He's so cute! I thought at first he would be weirded out because he was worried about me obsessing there for a while, but since I have calmed down he's all about it. Do have to say, my sisters bday is tomorrow and she was hoping her present was that I'm pregnant. Oh well!!

Kind of worried about my dad! He's been battling a rough case of colon cancer, and we (my sister and I) think it might be back. We will know more in the 15th of November. Fingers crossed.

Did have some EWCM yesterday and today. Totally quit temping this month. Didn't get to BD except for tonight, but will be on it like crazy at least until Wednesday. Only on CD12 today. Earliest I have ever O'ed has been cd13, so again fingers crossed!!

 

[NotNic]

Sorry to hear that you are concerned about your Dad Hun. Fingers crossed the results are all clear. xx

My hubby knows all about the thread. I don't think he has read it, but when ever our cycle was a bit squiffy, he would often ask what my friends on the forum thought!

Hands don't worry about the First Tri. As a rule you'd be more inclined to reach out for support when things are bad, so that looks really disproportionate . I don't read any threads like that as I don't think they are very helpful unless you are experiencing the same thing. It's sad but most losses happen when there is nothing you can do. Becoming stressed isn't helpful. I also don't read the nub guesses or scan threads. I want to stay team yellow and I don't want to learn how to guess what we have.

Hope you're all okay. Keep us posted Bex and CH. We so want you to get your BFP xx

 

[snowflakes120]

Ch - Hubby knows that I am on a forum but doesn't really know much more than that. I occasionally will talk about my friends on my baby board (you guys) to him. Sorry to hear about your dad - hope things are ok at the appt in Nov.

Bex - Never heard of spooks - but just the name of it sounds like something I would be totally scared of and wouldn't watch!

Hands - As with Nic - I don't open any of those threads at all. I just kinda mosey on by.

Nic - Can't believe you are staying team Yellow! I give ya props!

AFM, not much going on. We went to a Buy Buy Baby this weekend and looked at a bunch of stuff - I mostly wanted to look at furniture as I want to get the nursery put together already! Found a set I really like but want to go to a few more places as well. I want to find out the sex before we start painting or anything. Plus I need to move a ton of stuff out of the future nursery room 1st anyways. So it really won't be for a while. I feel asleep so early Fri & Sat night and still slept in on Sunday. So I think the tiredness is starting to kick in. Felt a tiny tiny bit queasy this am - ran into work and forced myself to eat some oatmeal to make myself feel better even though I had no appetite to eat it.

 

[NotNic]

Yep, hubby and I definitely want to stay Team Yellow, much to my Mum's annoyance! I've always thought of it as finding out what Father Christmas is bringing you before Christmas Day

I haven't even started to think about nursery stuff yet. We have put an offer on a house in hubby's childhood street and have a few more places lined up to see in case that falls through. We're hoping to buy somewhere and move before Easter which should be a good time to decorate. Fingers crossed! xx

Hi Girlies,

Snow - I have been having a bit of a low week but when I read your comment on spooks it made me laugh out loud so thanks hun. I have started the nursery but i am having all the furniture and blinds white and then when I find out what I am having I will add the other bits. I am thinking jungle for boy and just general pink for a girl.

Bex - I watched TOWIE last night. I don't like Sam and Mark together! and I hate Kirk urgh! Any news from your end? Any sign of AF?

CH - My DH knows about everyone, when he 1st found out I wasn't on this thread though so he has only read my over 30's and TTC thread. Good luck with the BD this week hun. So so sorry to hear about your dad i really hope it hasn't come back. I will be thinking of you.

Nic - Oooh that is exciting where is the house? Are you looking to stay in London?

Hands - I am soo pleased for you that you are so happy that is great i wish I could enjoy it more but I just seem to worry about everything.

AFM I had a bit of bad news on Friday that threw me a bit. I have a 1 in 203 chance the baby having a trisomy which is a pretty high chance but not quite high enough to warrant testing so I just have to wait and see. Hopefully if it is anything major like Edwards they will see it at my 20 week scan, I have done a bit of research though and if it is downs then I would keep it anyway but the others are fatal so thats the scary bit at the moment. I must admit this pregnancy has never quite felt right so I am not all that shocked.

 

[Srbjbex]

Snow - Spooks is about spies - set at MI5 in London. It's very good if you get a chance to ever see it and you like drama! Although I always really need to concentrate when I watch it as it gets quite complicated sometimes!

CH - really sorry to hear about your Dad, I really hope he is ok. Sending loads of positive thoughts across the sea! And loads and loads of babydust to you for the next few days.

Nic - exciting news about the move. Let us know where you are going!

Hands - stay away from scary threads, and just focu on your little bean growing inside you!!! Keep positive.

Bea - I agree re Sam and Mark - she should know better!! really sorry to hear about your bad news - what exactly is trisomy? Im not sure? hugs

AFM - no AF yet, but boobies are starting to feel a bit pre-AF. little bit tender inside. based on my normal periods (althoug my last one was on 7 august so a while ago!!) I think I have about a week before AF will come based on how my boobs feel. It would make sense as that would be 14dpo from when Im guessing I O'd.

 

[snowflakes120]

Mrs. Bea - Can they do a CVS or even an amnio to get more results?

I know my dr. already told me to sit down and chat with hubby to start thinking about what we would do if some results came back less than favorable in our future so we are on the same page. Mainly, she wants to know if we would want to do the extra testing to figure out more if there showed a problem or if we would want to just hope for the best. She said that there is a 5% false positive meaning that it comes back as a possible issue but really isn't anything at all.

Bex - Hahaha! Spies! I thought it was about ghosts! I hate everything with ghosts or aliens!

 

[MrsBea23]

Snow - unfortunately the cutoff here is 1 to 150 so I have no other options just have to wait and see! I think it is 1 to 250 over there. Hopefully the 20 week scan will be able to put my mind at ease. i think it is good of your doc to bring it up now I didn't really know anything about it before the scan.

Bex - Trisomy's are Down syndrome 21 and then 2 other's 18 and 13(?) I think which mean the baby would either be stillborn, late miscarry or only live for a few months. 13 and 18 are very rare though so I am really hoping it is not one of them and I don't know if I would abort a downs baby anyway. I always thought I would but now it is more of an option I don't think I could.
If it is AF then at least you get to start trying again soon and the positive is you know you can get pregnant, it might not be though it could be another BFP i will be waiting to find out excitedly.

 

[Srbjbex]

Aw bea, hope you're ok! Try and stay positive. Hopefully the 20week scan will show you all is ok, and that you are half way through with nothing to worry about. Sending super hugs up to Edinburgh for you!

 

[InHisHands]

CH - Hope you have a happy 2 tww!!!! Im hoping this is your month!!!

Nic - I'm excited about your move. What a great time for new beginnings.

Bex - Maybe AF won't show up at all because you'll be pregnant again

Bea - Hang in there. That is still a low percentage. How can you tell if a pregnancy feels right or not?

Snow - I've been having stomach pains that sometimes leads into barfing sensations, and i don't have much of an appetite either. I hope our little beans are getting enough nutrients. Do you get little mild throbbing pains on your sides like pain level of 1 or 2 on a scale of 1-10?

AFM - my radiant face, stomach pains, and boobs are going to give me away LOL I don't know if i can wait till after Thanksgiving. people are already suspecious. I had a little bit of brown tinge in my CM this morning.. kind of scared me. but nothing more since. There is a part of me that is like any other mother... caucious and concern about baby's health... but there is another part of me that is just so sure this baby is going to come out fine and healthy. Not sure if that is instinct or wishful thinking.
