Lava
Yaaaaay finally an oficial BFP.
)) So great bb.
Baby4MJ that smiley really cracked me up
I'm gonna check out the smileys when I come back hm, they're wonderful. Bedding before ovulation is good. You need it before the smiley anyway. Sometimes the swimmies can live up to 5 days so you're still good. Also sometimes women do ovulate but the sticks don't show it which can be determined by a midcycle progestrone test. You don't need that unless you are cycling a treatment but really I'm sure you ovulated. Don't know what went wrong with the sticks. And
cycles not out yet, still could get your BFP potentially. How many days were u usually again? xx
LynB that smiley is mine too
) Lynn you can upload a pict of your little beautiful bean soon. How great. Are you almost finished with the first trimester?
Nevernever, beautiful pict chick
Loveley to see u in Vegas
Don't let the hubs get a peek
My DH doesn't know he's here.
Ginger, you really got us worried there with all the storms girl. Pheew. Glad u checked back in
) xxxx Funny u dreamt of the thread cause there's so much happening right now. In fact I wish we all lived close and could meet up at some point. Wouldn't that be fun? God idea to spend the summer all natural. A pump of morale would be really useful when you start IVF. Hope you would BFP before that though xx
FM eating small meals often is a good idea. Try to stick with wholemeal breads, an whole carbs (brown stuff, patatoes etc) Not much sugary stuff and no cafein. I bet you don't do coffee anyway but tea, choclate etc . Limit also oily food, fries, heavy dinners. And keeping a small dry toast or rye bread by your bed and taking a small bite when u go to toilet at night is a good idea. This way you keep your stomach from going completely empty all night which is worst for acid. (Mum has exactly the same problem, side effects of her meds) But early signs are still positive. I soooo have all my fingers and toes crossed for your BFP.
) All this practical knowledge is from caring after sick mum, dad and googling crazy when I get sick myself. So it's limited stuff really but hope they work xxxx
Chris hope you get better soon hon. Don't think anyone can stand the onion and honey thing. Just added that in for the extra yuckyness really hahahahaha!!!
Labrat loveley happy pict of u and DH. You look more like country girl than a labrat
)) hahahaha Sorry about all the exwife problem. She sounds like a mean woman. This sort of behaviour always comes back she will realise. She is actually harming her own dughter. I hope your daughter in law could get over her negative influence. No idea about your symptomps. Can it be stress related?
Missy Awwww
Being a stepmum is starting to overwhelm you. You have actually done the right thing by carving a space in your lives for your stepchild. That is very admirable. But sometimes doing the right thing is not what makes us most happy. I haven't been through a similar situation so I don't want to say the wrong thing for you hon. But I think it looks like you need a holiday or a break. You have been going through a lot lately with all TTC and boiling hot work load. You could do with a little romantic time off with your DH alone away from all the responsibility. After all when you met him you were both free of all the responsibility of a child and it's only normal you should miss it when you have a pile off responsibilities added on your shoulders. You are a great stepmum. And you will have your own child one day which will really fullfil you. Also I wonder if you would consider counselling about this. Cause having a grown up child in your life +TTc stress is very overwhelming. It sounds like most of your stresses with stepson accurs from a situation where no one would be prepared about (courts, naggy exwife, a teenager that you haven't raised) Perhaps an expert on the matter could give you better advice about how to be giving without compromising your own self needs. Don't know all the details but you might be compromising too much of your life and needs at the moment. I don't know if you have the time and means to find a counseller but pls consider it. A counseller might give you practical solutions for this complicated issue which could lift some of the weight of your shoulders.
Bbive I'm really curious what results will your peestick show this time. All that sleepiness can't be too bad.xx
Awww Padbrat, you hae been on my thoughts ever since Thursday. I talked to a few girls and they told me safe progestrone levels are over 200. I was actually at 1400 which dipped to 800. I am due another test on Wednesday and I'll have to switch to a gestone injections if it's dipped more. I think you should get your progestrone checked again (go private if NHS delay, it's only 50 quid odd) than if it's not high enough ask to be switched to the more potent injections. Spotting doesn't mean much you know that so don't panick babes.
that it should be the normal usual spotting.
Nikkki
can't wait for your test too. So many of you girls have good symptoms here and a nice helping of spring BFP's I pray that you are one of them hon.
Girls I'm still on page 488. Need to run off, promise to finish later on. xxxx all
