Mid-August Testers

Tested and got the biggest fatest negative. Stark white. I guess at least the B6 is doing what it is supposed to be doing by extending my LP.

but.... you have a lovely high temp still, that B6 might just do the trick, and your eggy might have just taken longer to get there. I'm still thinking positive for you!!

I totally had test anxiety and woke up at like 4am and stared at the ceiling til 5:30 til I decided to test so I know I didn't get the usual 3 solid hours so I figure that is why my temp is high

I am very doubtful at this point. :cry:
 
Don't give up girlies. Either you are having longer cycles which is great news or you will be having a BFP very soon which would be even better! :) Think technically I was CD50+ when i got mine, though we know now that was 17DPO. I tested at 10DPO with fmu. Got nothing. Then had spotting until CD12 and was convinced it was AF playing games. It's only two days after the spotting stopped I thought I stood a chance. Squiffy cycles aren't necessarily bad news. Don't forget that! :)

So work have made me a bit cross. I confirmed to the support team all was okay, though one came round to my desk and asked me how my appointment went. Not very subtle! I officially told them in an email at lunch, and by the time I went to leave tonight they had already blabbed to some of the secretaries. My team are at an offsite so I haven't even told then yet. I'm seriously unimpressed and just goes to show I was right to keep schtum! The more I think about it the more grrr it makes me. I was enjoying sharing my news and it's spoilt it a bit to know it took 4 hours before I've become the floor gossip! Brilliant. Also I'm only on the train home now which is making me even more cross!

Anyway I hope your Thursday is going better than mine! X
 
Nic - sorry to hear you had a crappy day. I know what offices are like, nothing stays secret, my place will be exactly the same!! And youre late home too! Hope hubby has got some hugs for you! :hugs:

Snow - try and stay positive Hun, or at least neutral! Tomorrow is awhile other day! :hugs:

And hugs for everyone else too! :hugs:
 
Thanks Bex. Sadly hubby thought I was making a fuss over nothing! Oh well. Pip is doing it's best to cheer me up. My tummy feels very funny tonight. It's making up for not budging yesterday and doing the back stroke now. Very weird feeling!

How are you doing honey? I love your ticker. You have a Pip too! :happydance:
 
Morning everyone,

Well I got into work at 7 am this morning and have been awake since 3am I think this might be the 1st uncomfortable part of my pregnancy lol.

Nic – Aw sorry to hear that the rumour mill has got you at work, unfortunately I think it is one of those things with an office sigh.
Pips measurements look great and I am so pleased you had a good sonographer mine was amazing and it makes such a difference I think.
So at ante-natal last night we did pain relieving in birth, In Scotland we get Diamorphine rather than pethadine and she did say that it can be a bit better than pethadine because you recover quicker from it but overall both sound pretty bad and the thing that has put me off the most is that they both go through the blood so baby gets them and can be a bit out of it for up to 48 hours after birth and if they give it to you to close to actual birth then baby might need a shot to counteract it. Also it can hinder baby breast feeding properly if it is still affected after birth. So after hearing all that I am going to not go for any opiods, I think I would prefer and epidural to one of those. I have actually just remembered I was on a pethadine drip when I got my tonsils out at 20 and it would knock me out evertime I had a hit of it!
One of the girls in the class did talk about Sophrology which is similar to hypnobirthing and apparently is massive in France, it sounds really good so I am going to have a look into that.

Lisette – How are you hun, I hope they are not working you too hard! How are you feeling now that you have had your scan and it is all looking good?

CH – OMG what is happening, it all sounds very promising. Soooo exciting. It feels so close I know it will happen soon it just took you body a few months to get into the swing of it.

Snow – How are you hun, I can’t wait until you wake up and update your chart so I can see what is happening. What cycle day did you get your BFP last time? I tested CD11 and got a big old BFN and then had a temp drop below cover line so was sure I was out and then about CD13 temp went back up and I tested and got BFP so you are definitely not out yet. Even if it is not this cycle I am sure it will be next and it is not far off.

Hands – There is so much padding in there to protect baby and then baby is still very very weak at this stage (no muscle strength yet) that it is not surprising we don’t feel them for a bit, they need to develop their strength before they can give you a good old boot lol. I can now feel and see baby right in the middle of my belly where the placenta is so it won’t be long for you I promise.

Bex – How are you feeling? Still good and no sign of MS yet I hope. Have you been to your doctor yet? I didn’t even go to the doctor I just self referred straight to a midwife. Are you still testing? I tested every day for about 2 weeks after lol. I then went to the early pregnancy unit at my hospital and made them scan me to make sure everything was ok cause I was so worried, I think I might be a bit crazy though.
 
Congrats on being a banana!!!! Looks like i'm a mango today :D

CH - I'm so sorry dear, but just think its a brand new cycle. Did your doctor tell you what to do in order to get hubby's swimmers tested?

Bea - I'm sure it'll come, I'm just really impatient at times. I have a hard time sleeping too but found that if my husband leans up agaisnt me and puts pressure on my lower back, that i can sleep comfortably for hours (until he moves that is). Have you purchased a pregnancy pillow? The extra pillow didnt seem to help me, but it might be helpful to you.

Bex - Any symptoms? I know its hard to do, but try to enjoy every minute of this and worry as little as possible.

Lisette - How are you doing?

Nic - I won't be getting an epidural due to the fact that i have had several women mention that their backs are never the same after one. I also don't like the chance of it causing paraylsis. As far as the nacotics go. We use the same one as Bea and i've been on it before when i had a hernia gone wrong. I started to think that aliens were coming done the hallway to get me. Totally delusional. My hubby and MIL told me all about it. I won't be choosing that option either. So i guess its all natural for me. My hubby thinks im crazy, but i think i can handle it. I've had kidney stones before and it took a week for me to pass them. I didn't cave and take drugs until about 3 days into it. My labor shouldn't take that long.

Snow - Waiting for a temp update... i'm on edge.

Snow -
 
BTW i would just like to take a moment to Rant:

I'm so sick and tired of people telling me how HUGE i am. All i do is simply walk from point A to point B and i get lots of unwanted comments.

Yesterday at work i recieved these lovely comments:

"You're getting huge"

"Every day you just get bigger"

"Man, you just keep growing"

"If this is what you are like now, i can't imagine what you'll be like at 9 months"

"For how tall and sender you are, you look like you are a lot further along than you really are"

"Man i hate to see you at 9 months"


SERIOUSLY!!! I got all those comments from different people within the same day at work. Make me feel horrible about myself... and yesterday wasn't the only day. I've been getting comments like that almost every day for the past 2 weeks. I'm starting to get depressed... why can't people just leave me alone?
 
Just saw your temp update snow.... i'm sorry.... but at least you know the B6 is working and you and CH will have a fresh beginning.
 
Oh Hands. Sorry to hear that. :hugs: This is totally why I didn't want people to know. I hate all that fuss and chat. People feel it is perfectly acceptable to comment on your appearance regardless and they're just plain rude. I guess they don't realise that we have to put up with daily comments and it can really get you down whether you're big or small. If it makes you feel any better I'm getting bigger now too. It's the first time my tummy has actually been bigger than my boobs. :blush: I will have to look at some more maternity options for work again this week. Could do with a few basics. x

Also Snow - how are you doing today?

Bea - very interesting to hear about your pain relief session. I think I might google that hypnotherapy alternative you mentioned and see if that might be something that suits me. Do you have a better idea on what you might put in your birth plan? It's funny how none of us are keen on going down the opiate pain relief route. xx
 
Chart is updated for y'all to look. Not good news. Oh well. I feel better about it today. It's Friday. Payday and I got a raise. Got my 1st weekend since before Christmas with no plans what so ever. So I can just chill out.

CH - The witch is circling me right now. She's gonna drop down and get me today! At least we will be on the cycle together and support each other this time around!!

Hands - I bet people just feel compelled to say something about the pregnancy and that is all they can think of! My cousin is currently pregnant and due in early March - Her belly has been measuring 3 weeks ahead of where she is supposed to be for about a month now. I have a feeling she will going into labor early.

Mrs Bea - I got a very light BFP on 10dpo and didn't test again til 13dpo and was a definite BFP.

Nic - Sorry about the rumor mill going around and you being the choice topic. What is schtum? I am sure everyone will forget about it come Monday.

Bex - How ya feeling girl? Any new symptoms arise? I am just so happy for you! Another PAL giving me hope!! How much vitex did you take? I am really considering it this month.

Hey there Lisette!! Great news on the scan honey! Just knew everything would be perfect!

AFM, waiting on the witch to come and make her round to me. Massive temp drop which was to be expected. Already have plans to do SMEP again this cycle. Going to start a new sewing project to try to keep myself busy and not think about TTC. I feel I am too involved and need to calm down. I drove myself crazy this month.

Happy weekend!
 
Schtum is probably a word my family made up! :) It's kind of 'keeping your mouth shut'. If you say it out loud your lips all end up pursed together so no words can escape! :haha:

Sorry to hear that you're not feeling confident, but look how much more normal this cycle has been for you lengthwise. Maybe its taken your body until now to have a normal length cycle which would be brilliant news for your next one. TTC definitely makes the best of us crazy, but I think you did very well. Positivity made me feel so much better and it meant I didn't give up. I loved your pma this month. I definitely hope that stays part of your plan for the next one. xx
