Oh gmz3- i am soooo sorry. I think 13dpo is too early to test though as that would be before your period would be due on a 'normal' cycle. 14dpo would be earliest i would test, don't lose hope it may just be too early but i do agree 18dpo is way off but clinic will be covering there backs for the small percentage of people who implant late or hsg levels increase slowly. When would your period be due???
I posted a long post on sun night about having similar probs with my baby's dad's daughter- took me an hour and it has not posted
I have not gone into it in the past coz it's a LONG story but she is 15yrs old an only child, her mother is an alcoholic (2liver transplants and is 12yrs my senior) after 2yrs of his ex refusing a routine for contact and for me to see her (thus for us to spend time as a family) i put my foot down and I arranged to sort things through court (basically she would use the child as a bargining tool ie demand more money in exchange for contact, would change contact at last min ALL the time so we could never have time together/make arrangements on a weekend etc) Coz of me he now has parental responsibility, contact every weekend from fri 6pm- sat 6pm, but contact never worked between us as his daughter had been brain washed into not liking me, she did not like sharing, having different rules to home and her dad would treat her differently to my girls (letting her have her own way, different rules for her etc) then he would tell me off for trying to 'get her round' by being nice and 'me' towards her and tell me to leave her to come round herself if i did that i was then neglecting her- i could not win!!! Then she would get interogated when she got home and things got soooo bad he decided he wanted to have contact with her on his own again. We agreed and he then went back to having contact at his mams every weekend. Which is great for her coz as you say she gets spoilt rotton for time, money and affection (they do things EVERY weekend that we could not afford to do regulary as a family of 6)
Forward 8/9years and as i am pregant he is now USING his daughter as an excuse to abandon me, the girls and the baby saying he won't give up his daughter!!! I have never asked him too and have told him i don't mind even seeing her again. Which if i'm honest will be a nightmare as her hatred towards me is crazy and her upbringing the opposite to my girls!!! She is a major problem teen complete opposite to my girls, she wears tarty clothes, tons of make up, skips school, swears, sleeps around, drinks and i'm sure she even takes drugs!!! My girls have their heads in school work, my eldest 2 have stable boyfriends ( both been with them over 2yrs) one wants to be a doctor, dress classy etc etc. They are polar opposites to her.
Things came to a head last night as my eldest found her twitter account and she was slagging me off!!! (comments like- sly, twisted little cow. People like you should not be allowed to have babies- psycho!!!) then in the next breath saying she was excited to see her baby brother!!! I rang her dad and told him to sort her out and that as he knows i have brought my kids to know better (they would not dare talk about anything private on social networking sites) also that if he did not make her delete the comments i could not guarantee my girls would not reply and retaliate (mind i would not have let them)Well she took them down but twitted saying the only person she listens to is her dad even when his is WRONG.
Things could not be any worse but as you say the anger makes you stronger. I'm feeling very protective of my son at moment and the way she is going she will never see him and neither will her dad.
Are you trying for your first baby together? how many children does your OH have sounds like 2girls and 2boys??? Try and stay positive and talk to OH and let him know how you are feeling. He sounds very supportive but seems so scared of his daughter she is using it to get her own way.
