Ah lavender what a pain for you! my ov is slightly delayed too...typical as i really didnt want to ov over christmas! was hoping it would be done and dusted by then :( FX we both get a +opk today!
Hi everyone else! X
Fx you o soon ladies x and have lovely bfps for new year
Kell, I think it would be take-away night! Can you do the shopping once kiddies are in bed? Some shopping centres may be open late.
Lavenderlime I hope Ovulation happens soon for you, I usually get twinges around the ovaries the day or so before ovulation.
Deaks fingers crossed for you too, very frustrating!
I feel awful for my friend, she thought she miscarried properly last night, was really heavy and she fainted and couldnt sit up without feeling faint. In the end she went to hospital and they said some of it was leftover and tried to remove it but couldnt so got an op tomorrow. She's being brave but so awful, especially at this time of year.
Oh chocolate your poor friend!
Well I'm half way done, feeling really sick tho so I hope I can carry on, just chilling at home with the boys for a little while before round two.
I can probably do the food shop tonight but the rest of the shops close at 8 tonight and dp isn't home from work till about 7 maybe later. I'll get there just be exhausted for a few days after lol!
Oh chocolate your poor friend x i had an erpc its not pleasant but hopefully will mean your friend can be at home for xmas x so sad x
Kell hope you make it through x
Hi ladies. I won't be going home from hospital tonight :( I've got pre eclampsia so basically they're keeping me in tonight and I will have a scan tomorrow morning and we'll see what happens from there. It all depends on what my blood pressure decides to do but basically I have to prepare for an induction and they won't let me go past 37 weeks.. Feeling quite down at the moment.. Worst timing of the year!
Oh sunset I'm sorry hun, you may have a Christmas day baby! That could be quite cool! You'd have to call her Mary tho lol!
I hope things settle down, Unfortunatly I think things only get worse not better, it's good they are keeping an eye on you to be sure tho!
Hugs to you xxx
Yes unfortunately it's only going to get worse and the only treatment is delivery so I've been told to prepare for an induction within the next week/ week and a half.. I just can't believe there's a chance I won't get to celebrate christmas with my boys :( it's enough to make the water works start.. I'm such an emotional wreck at the moment
OMG sunset you poor thing x I cant imagine how emotional you are right now x however glad they have picked up on this and if you do end up in hospital over xmas it will be the best thing for you and baby and you will have to have a belated xmas. Not saying that is easy at all hun but you have to look after yourself and the little lady x FX you are allowed home though
Sunset massive hugs! Just think you'll get to meet your gorgeous daughter very soon! xx
So sorry sunset. How bad is it? If they don't induce asap then maybe you could ask to go home just for Xmas morning. When I had it me and few other ladies did beg for discharge and get it. But in my case I was seen by a midwife daily at home and on bp beds and complete bed rest. I only made about three four days before is was caught and admitted again. But I had no kids to run around after back then. If your doing the 24 hour wee thing then you might be induced before that. From what I saw if you was asked to collect your wee you was induced or sectioned the next day. Fx it really stinks I know but the main thing right now is yours and baby's health x
Yes I'm hoping she will be on the mend for christtmas day, she said she feels better already. Sunset sorry your having a tough time, hope u get to celbrate christmas with your kids one way or another and you manage to enjoy some of it x
Congrats!! Great news xQuote:

If I thought bubs could be a girl I probably would find out but our attempt was boy and girl friendly and not hard core swaying so chances of pink are slim!Quote:

I will be looking out for signs though at my 20 week scan so will keep you posted!! :)
Has it sunk in yet that you are having girls....!!!!
Oh Sunset you poor thing! You must feel so upset...lots of hugs xx I hope they decide whats best soon so you know whats happening. Take care of you and bump and keep us posted. Thinking of you xxxQuote:

Lavender & Deaks ~ I hope you both get your +OPK's soon and FX for Xmas BFP's!!
Petal ~ Lovely to hear from you and so nice to hear how much you are enjoying your little man - he is gorgeous x
I hope everyone is coping with MS as best they can and I hope everyones bumps are doing well :)
The boys finished school today....Yippeeeee!!!!!! I am officially knackered and ready for a rest tomorrow :)
I have recently got to know one of the mums in the village as her son is the same age as DS3 and she is a MW - she popped in today for a cuppa and bought her doppler with her so I got to hear bubs HB which was great :)
I hope everyone is ready for Santa - last bit of wrapping tonight and fresh food shop tomorrow and then I'm done! :)
Sunset~ think of it this way..if you can't be with your boys on Christmas you are in the process of giving them the BEST gift ever..a beautiful baby sister.
Inglewood~ THose babies ARE GIRLS!!! And I would not tell anyone at all (besides my mother) let them all wait with their annoying comments. Then your birth announcement can go like this: "Oh Boy" (picture of DS 1, "Oh Boy" picture of DS2, It's GIRLS!!!!! or The GIRLS are here!!! with picture of the girls....
So my doc put me on CLomid, and I will have follicle check for my cycle in January and get a Ovidrel injection- Maybe I can join you and have twins too!! Ha would love it....
Thank you all so much for your lovely comments! It means a lot! I'll update you all more tomorrow when I've spoke to the consultant
Maybebaby ~ thank you for sharing your experience! I don't know how bad it is at the moment. The blood pressure medication seems to be working by keeping my blood pressure under control which I think is what's most important right now? They did a protein count on tuesday which came back as 19.5 with anything under 20 being considered normal but today my protein count has gone up to 88 so it is definitely without a doubt pre eclampsia :( hopefully I should know more tomorrow after the u/s and meeting with the consultant.. But basically all they've said is they won't let me go beoynd 37 weeks (10 days). It all suddenly became so real!
Thinking of you sunset x
Sunset, surely they would let u go home xmas eve for 24hrs?? As long as things are too dangerous? FX they do!!! Thinking of u. x
Babymad, It hasn't sunk in as I don't believe it! I really can't get my head round it and start to believe it. Esp after hearing how so many people hear boy after hearing girl. Will ask on 28th, might believe it a wee bit more, but not till my 4d scan will it sink in (if true). Dh says I'm being silly, but I can't let myself believe it quite yet. Bought 2 pink bibs and 2 pink sleepsuits with mittens after my scan to surprise my mum, but half expecting to have to take them back.
I think u will hear girl, not just saying that, I have a good feeling u will, prob as I've heard of so many mums with 3 boys having a girl 4th time round recently!!
Sunset my wee never went to lab but it was +3 at worse on the dip stick. My bp went mad and never below 100. Bp meds could not stabiles it. The normal bp for me was about 160/120 but I never felt I'll. Seems my body coped well under the strain. Sounds very promising if your bp is stable! Being induced isn't a ideal or dream birth but just think it's out of your hands now so no point feeling bad about timing or method of birth. Make sure they monitor you every two hours after birth without fail. It's so important as it can creep up again birth. You will both be ok. Doctors are really good with pe. Most baby's born early are due to pe so they know exactly how to help you and for this to have minmal impact. Ds birth is one the best days of my life. Being I'll and induced didn't taint the joy at all. Hugs I will be thinking of you x
Sunset, so sorry you are going through this but i can only repeat what the other ladies have said. You are in the best place and all thats important is yours and your baby girls health! Thinking of you X
Hi Deaks how are your opks looking? still no smiley here but just had a look on an ovulation calendar and still have till Saturday to ovulate acording to nthe dates I put in. I think the moon changes to New moon soon so that's another positive :).
opks fading in sloooowly. Think i might possibly get a + tomorrow which would be great as then attempt would probably be late sat eve/early hours xmas day and then be done and dusted. Its all a bit later than i had hoped but thats ttc for you! oh and youre right...new moon on sat...that'll be a first for me!! Have you been doing FR since your attempt on mon? Are your opks fading in at all? Really hope we both get good attempts in soon and bfps early jan for september bubs!! XQuote:

chocolate- great you are getting tested and will hopefully have some reassurance, glad the temps are up though.
Babymad- I know what you mean about finding out....I know I won't be able to resist but not finding out is also really tempting, don't want to be sad for 20weeks. You never know though, we both may be carrying our girls. When I write that I just don't feel it for me though unfortunately, just feels like a boy, can't believe I'd ever be that lucky. (I hate this ugh, I'm just so far from being Ok with a boy at the moment).
Deaks and Lavendar- hope you O soon and get some good attempts in, good luck!!
I totally understand why you would feel like that I would too, I would need to hear it a few times before believing! But I know you have girls cooking away......I have always 'known' they were girls :) only a few days before you hear it again I'm sure xxQuote:

Hugs Hun, I know how you are feeling, I'm ok with another boy - will be heartbroken not to hear girl as this is defo our last child and to know I will NEVER have a daughter will be very hard to accept, however I will be happy to complete my family as I have spent years chasing my dream. I'm like you and I don't feel I will be one of the lucky ones. Sending lots of pink dust your sway, I truly hope your dream comes true xQuote:

Babymad - I could have written your post! I feel exactly the same - i too am planning not to find out as well x I expect boy I pray girl if i were to find out it was a boy i would be sad and if it was a girl I would be gutted not to have waited for a BIG surprise. God I dream of pink all day everyday but I dont feel like miracles like that happen to me I wish it would x FX for pink hun for all of us too x all i know is that my conception was the opposite of the boys not that that means anything really.....my timing wasnt great with the BD the night before O but what will be will be - wait for me in a weeks time obsessing over any sort of nub in my scan pic!
One week till NT scan and getting nervous now!
Sunset - take care cant believe you will have your little girl in your arms in the next 10days!
I think the fact that you did the opp to your boys is a great sway, I am with you on team green and feel exactly like you......I'm not ready to end the dream yet by finding out as I don't know how to move on so waiting until I have my baby in my arms is the best option for me. I will be so sad if it's not a girl but not disapppointed. When we swayed with DS3 I really thought we had a good chance of pink so when he arrived I was disappointed even though we bonded instantly. Then we did PDG so I know we can make girls and still find it hard that we lost our daughter......I hope we all have lots of pink in our lives in 2012 :) xxQuote:

the last few days have been bad mixed with heartburn-sicky feeling x been sick both days x i know you are still suffering too HUGS x i just have no patience with the boys either which is hard - DH had a massive go at me for shouting at them tonight but I am so tired and they were bloody jumping all over the living room for about the 100th time that day.....alright for him seeing he hasnt seen them and was wanting me to get his dinner!
Geez hun I hope we get our girls x you never know dont give up just yet and like you said if we get blue when they arrive there is no doubt we will love them :D however i better get grandaughters....although i already have marked myself as a MIL from hell :S
Hey charlie and babymad - I will try and stay team green, at least u can hang onto that bit of what if excitment and look at girly stuff however I am realistic and am expecting boy. I'm more at peace with that now too, I think imagining 3 or 4 boys around the age of 7 plus (when easier :-) ) makes me go 'ahh' and will be able to appreciate the close relationship they would have and the fun they would bring as at a great age (my eldest is 3.5 and I'm finding it a little challenging reining him in at times!) I actually bought a gorgeouse dress today in size 3 to 6 months, first time ever bought pink, my sil is expecting a girl in March so am telling myself its for them but it may accidently stay hidden just incase! I'm feeling suddenly emotional this evening, welling up just at christmas songs and programmes and could easily have a good cry! Hormones!! Feeling tired this pm which I'm loving as I was worried I was feeling tired enough
Omg I'm in a fowl mood, I want to scream shout and cry all at the same time ffs arrrrrrrrr
That is all really!

Cheapies have no pattern just all over the place so just sticking with digi's for the rest of the month it's more expensive but the fading in and out is just getting on my wick! DP has been doing FR and I have stressed how important it is. Hoping we get some Christmas magic and new years BFP:)
I think you ladies are amazing staying team green! I'll be desperate for an early scan. But that's because I know I will be disapointed if I have a boy so I need to illiminate that before they are born. But really Just want to focus on having a girl and thinking positive from here on out :).
3 sleeps......
I could cry with you?! Haven't felt like this in a long long time! My moods are going through: happy to lack of patience to stressy to sad, the joys of being a woman!Quote:

I'm really starting to suffer from back ache now, it takes me 30 seconds to get going whenever I stand up and I'm not even 20 weeks yet!!
Well done those of you staying team green. I was glad I found out this time. I still think about ivf but really I move on and use the money for a bigger house. I am putting my overtime money aside for the blood tests but I know I'm too old. I have seen so many people not get pg with ivf. Babymad yours is such a sad story too. I really hope you all get your little Girls x
Ah zanacal, this time of year sucks sometimes. I was going to bake some cheese biscuits as pressies but started to go wrong so put it in the bin, too much pressure so decided to scrap that plan. Just feel bad for loosing my patience with the boys, going to start afresh tomoz and try to have a nice festive day :-) maybethree, I think about high tech but it really is just a dream, I think if we would consider that then we would save that money and try to move somewhere bigger and just sway again. Wish I had pots of money to have a 4 double beded detached house, could have 6 kiddies then lol, I need to move to america!
I have to move out of the lovely area I am in to get a four bed. Even then it wouldn't be four doubles. Considering getting a three bed to extend as dh is a electrician. But mortgages are so hard to get now.
I have heartburn from he'll, I'm the size of a bus and bumpie hurts as I went Xmas shopping today.a friend posted on facebook she is sitting on the sofa in front of her log fire eating chocolate with sexy mew boyfriend - I want to swop places with her! Dh thinks the baby will come end of Jan. I might explode before then!
Charlie I will be a mil from he'll too! I just know it!
Ds2 is so cute. Did the washing up tonight, helped me wrap presents (as only a four year old can) and keeps singing we wish you a merry Christmas and happy new ears! I wonder what wrong with the ears he was born with that he needs new ones? Rofl!
Awwww maybe your son just made my morning with his happy new ears! Brilliant!!
