I came to work one day and saw a very bizarre necklace around a co-worker of mine. She had taken all her kids baby teeth down to Mexico and had a necklace made out of them.Quote:

Yes yes a few of us have had scans, including me. Please have a guess!!! :-)
I'm guilty of keeping pee sticks although I normally throw then out when they go all yellow. I keep pictures of them and I keep my kids baby teeth in a little silver pot although I am not tempted to put them into a necklace!!
Afy good luck with the scan, hope you get some good pics. I always get nervous about transvaginal scans too lol. Lots of shaving!!
And hlmcdaniels good luck at your gender scan today! :)
Yay Meeks! You're back!! Fingers crossed for you this one is sticky.. but i'm pretty sure it will be! Congrats!!!!!Quote:

The grossest thing I have heard (in a stalkerish creepy way) was when a friend told me that she had kept one of her boyfriends pubic hairs that she had found in her bed. Even after they broke up she kept it. I was literally lost for words. I think that is one that we will all agree is totally vile LOL.
So gross but rather amusing. That's rather strange. Kept a bit of hair from the boys first hair cut but that's where I draw the line. Head hair fine, pubic hair... Hummmmm :-)Quote:

I just called to get the radiology reports from my ultrasound and my exact due date which is now changed from Jan 26th to Jan 29th. Kinda funny b/c I did a reverse due date calculator online which tells you the conception date and that is 3 days after we had our last attempt. Hopefully that will help my girl sway:) I def wasn't trying for a cut-off as I just wanted to get pregnant.
OMG... This is the most disgusting yet hilarious thing I've ever heard. What makes this story even worse is... That she told you about it!! Like you'd want to know she kept one of her ex's pubes :rofl: :worry:Quote:

Smiley lets hope the new Due date means your def cooking a girl in there! :)
Smiley that can only be swaying in your favour! Yeay!
You were right, that's just gross! LolQuote:

Bahahhaha umbilical cords and pubic hairs. This thread is the funniest one yet. I think I know almost everyone too which means I'm going to be far more comfortable making inappropriate jokes. Those who don't know me, I'm almost always trying (and often failing) to be funny. If something sounds mean its prob because I know the person and we are more relaxed.
Ps here is today's, 11dpo darker again. I feel good about this. Attachment 11677
Pps. Oh god I feel sick already. Did this happen to anyone else?
Yay yay yay!! This has to be it for you Meeks!! So happy to see your 11dpo test before I go to bed :DQuote:

Meeks that's fantastic :) that test is loads darker than yesterday's and what with the sickness... Praying you've got a little keeper there! :)
I had waves on nausea even before I tested at 9DPO and then at 5 weeks exactly the nausea started bad!Quote:

And last but not least, my best IRL pal had her team green baby, she added another baby girls to her 2 boy, 1 girl family....how truely lucky 2 boys, 2 girls. I feel like I will never have a girl ever.
Ladybugs I know how you feel, I feel the same, but all we can do is try, right?
Speaking of, here is my lovely digital:
Attachment 11698
Meeks....that is a nice digi!! It makes me so happy to see that for you and I wish that TTCpink and Sunflower can join you next cycle!!! Your longtimers thread is so lucky!!!!!
Help! I'm getting pinching pains in the middle down below my belly button. This is what I get before af. Someone please tell me this is also normal for implantation or early pregnancy! Urgh now I'm super nervous.
I had so many cramps that I thought were AF!! And still get them now (12 and half weeks). It seems the stretching pains get worse each pregnancy. I have also had the back pain and pains down my legs as well as the cramping, which would you believe it... Has been gas!! Never been so fooled and confused by my body. I also felt quite strong pains in my middle left to begin with, perhaps it was implantation. I have no idea. Just relax as much as you can and where possible lie down.Quote:

That's pretty much what's happening to me, no crampy pain, just pinching and only a few times today. I hope it's stretching or the egg burrowing in deep into the lining. I am super tired, and still tender boobs, nausea, hungry and SO Thirsty. Plus my digital was pos today, and temps up. So I should relax. I am, most of the time. Trying to take it really easy.Quote:

I'm not craving salt at all. Going to temp one more day (tomorrow, cd13) then stop. Maybe it's LE making my personality so different, before I would have charted til 9 weeks like Charlee. But I kind of just want to stick my head in the sand and hope like hell it sticks. I can't take seeing a temp drop, in case I freak out, even if its a normal drop.
I have warned dh I may gain considerably more than previous pregnancies because I have starved myself for 15 months and been ttc for almost 18 months. It was all so stressful, and I didn't realise how much so until I got this bfp, especially this morning with the digital, and I felt SO relieved. I just kept thinking "it's over". All the strict eating and thinking about everything that goes in my mouth. I was never above average weight but never thought about food that extensively. If anything it was all about super high nutrients and eating healthy/superfoods. No wonder I had boys! Anyway I'm just so glad that's over. Trying not to go back to boy diet too fast, but my dairy cravings can't be ignored!!! It's like I'm possessed!!!
Meeks I had a lot of pinching too in the early weeks. It is very scary and unnerving and only really eased off around 7-8 weeks. Now I just get the heavy uterus feeling and the odd kick.
I was exactly the same re food and put on a stone (14lb) in the first 6 weeks of pg. I was scared that I would be ruining any sway if the pg didn't work out but I desperately needed the food. I just couldn't get the feeling of satisfaction after eating, but it had to balance with the nausea too. Everything worked out fine though as I'm still a full stone lighter than I was pre-le. I think because I was underweight & not very well nourished, it was my body's way of ensuring a healthy pg. The need to eat eased off around 7-8 weeks again but with it came an increase in nausea and my weight has since stabilised. I'm gaining very slowly and not really wanting to eat between meals.
Like you, the le diet has changed me too and I'm much less likely to rush into things or take the world on at the mo! I'm currently practising good ostrich behaviour and letting dh take charge of a lot more now. I really don't want to go back to my old eating habits but know that I am growing a little baby so it's okay to put on weight. I'm just not finished with swaying and want to balance growing a healthy bub with swaying pink again in 2014/15 if Dh'll agree!!

Meeks I still get cramps now! Apart from the usual stretching pains I have suffered MAJORLY with gas this pregnancy and like Tree said I've also had such bad pains with it! I know how hard it is not to worry honey but I'm sure that little bean is snuggling in there nicely.
I've really over endulged this pregnancy! Usually I feel sick so this limits it but for some reason this pregnancy I've had no MS (been worrying at times) so all I have done is eat! And my biggest craving is pasta! I could eat carbonara until its coming out of my ear holes nom nom nom
3boys, I over indulged with my DD... Ate anything and everything that came in my way lol!!! Honestly make the most of it, this pregnancy I hardly feel like eating , definitely loss of apetite and when I do start to feel the hunger pains I start feeling nauseas which makes it even worse and feel like I need food down me ASAP before I pass out ! Joys of pregnancy..
I had an early scan on Friday and me and hubby seen our little bean, was so lovely to see her/him all I could see was bubs kicking up a storm in there moving it's lil hands and feet around!! They gave me a EDD of January 5th.. Everything slowly kicking in now..ok maybe TMI but even though I'm drinkin water my pee is extremely yellow!! Lol I don't know if that's normal because I'm use to it being a light ish colour this is like so bright yellow, but apart from that I feel normal down below.
I think I may have a 12 week scan when I go to the UK, hopefully get a shot of the nub.
How are you ladies feeling?
The bright yellow can be from taking multivitamins. Berocca (b vitamin supp, not for use in pregnancy) has done this to me in the past, so I assume all multi's can. They say its when you take too much or don't use all of the vitamins that's the bodies way of getting rid of it.Quote:

This time I'm dead sure I'll be gaining 20+ if I keep going this way! Not that it matters. At all. But it's funny.
Urgh the smells are getting to me. Today we had risotto with tuna, tomato and spinach for dinner. I wanted it so bad, ate half, then started going off it from the smell. I couldn't finish despite being hungry, and had to move the bowl away. I still feel sick 3hrs later and keep smelling it despite cleaning it all up!
Lol this will be me, hahahaQuote:

Meeks well done on deciding to stop temping tomorrow! I did it for too long and totally freaked when I had dips, only then to spend ages on google and discover they are pretty common. The last thing we need is more to stress about. Re food I couldn't wait to eat properly and the desire I'm sure is not only so great because of the LE diet but also because bubs needs lots of varied nutrients!
Meeks by the way thanks for guessing my nub pic - I did re post the crumpled pic underneath the three original pics in its non crumpled state, if that helps!?
The LE diet did change my attitude to food for the better. Unfortunately as the ms came along all my good lessons rapidly vanished out of the window. Carbs are my savour... All day long, and I too gave put on the best part of a stone. In fact it's probably at least a stone now, I've hidden the scales. :-)
3Boys the gas for me has been something else!!! Ridiculous. I guess it's the hormones, and perhaps our high carb diets too...
Afy lovely to have the early scan, it's so reassuring to see someone in there!
Yes maybe it's the pasta making it worse.... It's a good job DH and I are on a sex ban because I smell soooooo bad I doubt he would want to go there even if he could!! :rofl:
Afy my wee is really yellow/ orange, it looks like concentrated orange juice! I'm drinking loads but it doesn't make any difference.
Congrats on your scan! It's lovely when you get to sneak a peak at them. My NT scan is dragging so bad! Can't wait to see the little lime again :)
Yep, I got a pinchy thorny feeling really early on. If you think about the logistics of what is going on in there it isn't surprising! Fingers crossed that this is the stickiest of beans.Quote:

Meeks the cramping is totally normal... not a very reassuring side effect mind you, but it is normal :) I think it's probably your cervix closing up for these 9 months... or something along those lines.
Yep, I've had quite strong noticeable cramping of all varieties for all 3 of my pregnancies! This pregnancy has probably been the only one where I didn't worry about it, just because I knew I'd totally experienced it very often in my previous ones.
