How are you doing JennJenn? x

Any names? Lucy u got any names in mind? Jenjen how r u hun? Xx

 

[katiekittykat]

I find out on 19 August - unless I can manage to get a private gender scan that coincides with OH's days off in the next few days

 

[Jennjenn]

Hello all my pregnant friends!

Work is busy so I haven't been online too much today. And it will continue to be busy until February of next year . Officially I am 11dpo and the IC were both negative from yesterday and today. No big surprise there. We did manage to DTD twice on the day I ovulated - it was Saturday and my girls were with my mother all day and night. So it was the perfect environment - like a mini vacation for us. So technically there's nothing more I could have done to get those little spermy where they needed to be!

So hopefully I will know by Friday or Saturday if anything took.

School starts in 2 1/2 weeks so I'll need to take my oldest shopping for new shoes, etc. My youngest was born Sept 10th and the cut-off date to start kinder is age 5 on or before Sept 1st. So she has one more full year at pre-school.

Jenjen my jack starts school this time ours go back in about 4weeks. So I've got to go buy him a whole new uniform, shoes ect which is going to cost a fortune! It's £27.50 just for one jumper!!! And I'm sure he will destroy it anyway being a boy and everything! Haha however I can't wait to see him all ready for school looking all grown up jenjen good luck over the next few days hope those ic's start to pick something up
Katie good luck with ur scan Hun wether u have a private one or not can't wait to no!!! So exciting! Xx

 

[katiekittykat]

Thanks Stacey OH has pretty much put the kybosh on a private scan. He sees no reason why I can't wait for another 2 weeks I'll be allowed to have one if they can't see anything at the 20 week scan. Boo hiss. I wanted to see the baby NOW

Hope everyone else is well - for those shopping for school clothes, have fun!

Lets make guesses on Katie's LO's gender to make the time pass more quickly for you hun!... I am guessing boy - I don't know why - the fact that you've had bad M/S is steering me towards girl, but something keeps saying boy... don't know why...maybe it is me subconsciously reacting to your siggy!

Routing for you JennJenn - sounds like you have a good chance this month! Tell us if you are getting sick of the preggo chit chat - I feel a bit guilty going on about it when you are waiting patiently for that bfp hun

 

[Jennjenn]

I'll be testing tomorrow. I got 2 faint lines but they came after 10 minutes on the two IC I did this Today. So my understanding is that those lines are evap lines. however I've never gotten evap lines before with these IC.

Does anyone have experience w/ evap lines? It's just so strange I've never had them before...

Ooh that sounds so exciting - wow maybe this is it hun?! I had them once on a Superdrug (UK store) cheapie, which are apparently notorious for them. The first test I did the month we actually did conceive was the only other evap I ever got - like you, on a brand which I had never got evaps on before. I left it in the bin thinking it was negative, and when I came home, it had a definite, but very faint, second line. I was never absolutely sure of o-day, but at a guess, that was on 10 or 11 DPO so v early days.

Rooting for you JennJenn - keep us posted!

 

[Jennjenn]

Thanks - this would put me at an ideal due date - mid April. So we'll see what tomorrow brings.

I've thought it's a boy since Day 1 Lucy! Just a feeling I get.....I even refer to the baby as 'him' Only 2 weeks to find out....

Jen - keeping everything crossed for you

 

[squeshie]

Fingers crossed Jenn Sounds very interesting!

I am going to say boy too for Katie - I'm sure those two weeks will fly by!

We have another scan, this time at the fetal medicine unit at St Mary's in Manchester, to double check that curve and I guess to make a plan re my care or the the baby's after birth care So all is good!

 

[squeshie]

Forgot to say, scan's a week today, so I'll be 20 weeks then.

 

[Jennjenn]

I can't believe it! My day is finally here,

 

[squeshie]

Oh Jenn I'm so happy for you!!!! Yay! Congrats x

 

[Jennjenn]

Thanks Squeshie - I'm very excited but trying not to be too excited if you know what I mean!

 

[jacks mummy]

OMG jenjen!!!!!!! I'm am soooooooooooo happy for u!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I can't actually believe your pregnant!! Well done!
And Katie I think boy too! Xx

 

[Jennjenn]

Well I'm technically not overdue until Sunday/Monday, but those IC were positive yesterday and today. I'll keep everyone posted - I'm just trying to be relaxed for the next 2 weeks. I'm seeing my OBGYN on Monday for a bacterial infection, so I want him to draw a beta. My MD usually doesn't see new OB until 8 weeks...not sure if anything is different when advanced maternal age...

 

[Lucy Lu]

Bloody preggo hormones, I am sat here bawling I'm so happy for you JennJenn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is the best news!!!!!!!!!!!

Been thinking about you all day - could barely wait to get online but haven't had 5 minutes until now!

Twice on "O" day too!!!! - doesn't Shettles make that a blue bump hehe?!

 

[Lucy Lu]

PS. Bet Katie's baby will prove us all wrong now and be a little girl!
