It appears light at first, same time as the control line but then a few mins it goes darker than when it first appears.

Hi everyone oh told me I'm obsessed with the iPad lol..... Telling him I'm just catching up with the ladies )
Crazy and Beck's I too was diagnosed with fibromyalgia having suffered from severe back pain and shoulder pain that radiated down both legs . Chronic pain for about 6 months . Was given the blurb for support group and pain killers . That was about 5 years ago . Now it comes and goes and I manage it without drugs except on the occasions it effects my sleep which can last for days at a time . Have mild symptoms right now but life must go on. Mine also came on after the break up of a relationship ( got my heartbroken ) its weird three of us having it lol...

Garfie sorry your having a down day , my friend due any day now and also got a text from my niece who is 22 saying she found out she is having a girl , she is due 3 weeks after my would have been due date . That will be hard !!

Me cd7 today and temp dropped this am not sure it means anything as first time temping Opk _ so thinking it means nothing

Wow ladies lots of chat to catch up on, I like it!!! Xxx
Well my dear old nan that I lost a year ago told me I am having all my ills young and when I'm an.old lady I'll be fit as a fiddle lol, doubt it but bless her.

Lisa I wonder if it was then, I thought I felt something today too but it's so hard to tell at mo, felt Georgia 12 at 16 weeks and Casey 4 at 14 weeks so maybe I will soon, hope soon, brilliant news about the heartbeat, bet that was so lovely to hear that xxx
Fi I totally understand how you feel, a dear friend had her little girl on 21st Feb and I've still not been down, one cause I haven't told her I'm pregnant and two, this baby was conceived as I was loosing mine, it just hurts too much I'm very happy for her but it's so hardxxx
That definitely still looks positive to me Jo! Xxx

I missed quite a bit here didn't I ? I cant stay awake though
Great news about hb Lisa.
It is hard when you are still trying and someone tells you they are either pregnant are have just had their baby.
I didn't tell anyone I was pregnant last time, and two days after miscarriage a friend announced his wife was pregnant, they had waited for all tests before announcing, so I found that really hard and even harder when she had the baby.
I found out I was pregnant a week after she gave birth though.
Josie - looks promising there. My temps used to dip before I ovulated too.
Left - that is spooky isn't it! Glad we all manage it pretty well too.

AFM - my boobs hurt so much! So much more than last time so guess that's good,
I cant bear to touch them and even getting ready hurts.
feel sick from moment I awake until I fall asleep too.
I cant cook anything form scratch as all cooking smells are making me feel worse, trying to look in cookbooks fro inspiration but just thought if it turns my stomach.
Then last night I had the urge to eat a fried egg sandwich before I went to bed! I fried it in a little bit of olive oil so not too bad, and never enjoyed eating something so much haha I now have the urge to eat cheerios, and beans on toast, in fact that's all i can face. I was same in my other pregnancies now I think about it. I practically lived on cereal in first three months as everything else made me feel sick.

crazymam at least cereals are fortified.
I havn't had any aversions t all yet. I wake up feeling great although it is the other end of the day that's yucky.

Potential dilema on sunday as mum and dad have invited us round for a meal and there will be wine and I shall have to decline it saying I'm not feeling great or that I've taken a migralieve tablet.

 

[crazymam]

now that's always a tricky one, how to avoid alcohol without everyone guessing!
I am too tired for social events anyway so ok there, but did have to go for a meal in company the other night, I took the car and used that as an excuse.
I used the old 'on anitibiotics' to death last time so cant use that one again !
So I am just avoiding nights out altogether until I have announced it and until I actually feel up to it.

Hopefully my mum will just guess and keep schtum. I told her last year after the MC that I would be TTC but with it being so long, she might have thought we'd stopped trying.

 

[Oasis717]

Regina I'm sorry I missed your post last night, baby brain! It is strange all three of us having fibromyalgia but I'm glad we can all manage with drugs etc and symptoms are mild, happiness with your partner must be a tonic! I had some stitch like feelings along either side of my stomach this morning, not at all painful, didn't last long and apparently it's normal at 12 weeks as the uterus comes up into the abdominal cavity, my belly is certainly popping out today xxxxx

 

[Xanth]

Hi ladies. Hope you're all doing ok.

Creative I've just seen your ticker. Massive congratulations xxxx

 

[dancareoi]

Becks, belly getting bigger is a good sign.

Jo, I think today is OV day.

Creative, glad you've done a ticker. I never have drinking worries like that as I am not a drinker and don't like wine. Although I do like a humongous glass of baileys with ice!

Hope everyone else is ok.

 

[crazymam]

I cant wait for belly to pop, always makes you feel like its 'real' then Becks!
My belly feels more rounded, but as I had a flat belly it does show quicker. not a bump though, just rounder , so no one else can tell just me haha x

 

[Oasis717]

I already had a round belly unfortunately lol, but it's really stuck out this week, I'm surprised my 12 year old hasn't noticed, I guess teenagers being self absorbed its helpful sometimes! I can't believe I'm 3 months tomorrow, I never even thought I'd get here xxx

 

[josie1234]

Hello ladies. Hope you are all doing ok. No BD for me tonight as DH taking sample in tomorrow. With the right pot this time! And it has a bigger opening than last time lol.

 

[josie1234]

Jo at the hospital when I went for my leg they gave me one of those sample bottles you take to the mw and expected me to be able to wee in that small opening!
