Ouch, morning sickness at Christmas sounds awful Braven

Oh dear, poor thing, I hope he gets a slice of cheesecake to make up for it.
I'm sick of these stupid early symptoms, I know they can't mean anything but I can't stop spotting them.

bugger off, im not sharing with him. i have to share my bed with the man and thats bad enough haha. and i know what u mean. its so hard knowing weather they are really symptoms.

 

[charlie00134]

I offered my OH some cheesecake but he didn't want it result!

I'm hoping I can keep busy at work until my blood tests at least then a long weekend so I'm sure I can keep myself busy

 

[maryanne1987]

what are ur blood tests for?

To test if I've ovulated this month, I think I have but this will confirm it

 

[maryanne1987]

[charlie00134]

Thank you hun, and you =)

 

[maryanne1987]

ah im not so sure. only time will tell. wouldnt be the first month ive convinced myself i am definatly pregnant only to get a bfn. not getting too excited this month just in case.

 

[charlie00134]

Probably the best plan, softens the blow a little bit.

 

[maryanne1987]

hows everyone today? anyone given in and tested yet? lol

 

[LoraLoo]

No but i did an opk just to fullfill the need to poas It was negative!

 

[maryanne1987]

is it true opk's can actually be used to to pick up pregnancy? i read a post on it somewhere but never tried it myself.

I believe so, as the hcg and lh are very similar hormones, so an opk will detect a pregnancy. I did an opk when i was pregnant with my 3 yr old though, and it was negative, so didnt work for me!

 

[maryanne1987]

ooooh i might have to try it. promised everyone i wouldnt take a pregnancy test early but didnt promise i wouldnt use an opk lol

 

[LoraLoo]

ooooh i might have to try it. promised everyone i wouldnt take a pregnancy test early but didnt promise i wouldnt use an opk lol

my thoughts exactly, we could call it an experiment, lol x

 

[maryanne1987]

i just tried it, negative. bummer ah well. scientific experiment over lol.

I don't think an opk can be used to predict pregnancy until the levels are really high. I read something when I was TTC about LH (which opks detect) and HcG (pregnancy tests obviously) being "cousins"...so a pregnancy test can't pick up LH but an OPK *may* be able to pick up LH but only if the levels are really high. I never tried before though. I haven't tested...don't feel different...except DTD last night kinda hurt (but that could be because of all the DTD we did on our honeymoon lol). I had a dream last night that I was preggo.

 

[LoraLoo]

How many dpo would you say I am? I had a + OPK Saturday and Sunday. The tests on Sunday were darker than Saturdays. Just trying to figure out if it was likely i O'd Sunday or Monday! x

 

[maryanne1987]

ooooh that could be a good sign. ive read lots of women have had that and i know i had it before i got my bfp with my son.
im just suffering today with these uti symtoms, no one seems to know whats going on. i feel just like i have one, but doc says i dont and my home strips say i dont. any ladies here experianced this before. its a new one on me.

 

[charlie00134]

I'm still way to early for a test to show anything so I'm not tempted.
feel really odd today, I've never been bloated but I could be today my stomach feels tight. I've got dull achey cramps too and I've got a serious munch on. had a nightmare last night for the 2nd night running too. be glad to get home and put my feet up!
