Deaks ~ when will you be testing? :D
Inglewood ~ Not long to go now!! eek, are you nervous??
Afm I've got a growth scan tomorrow afternoon :) hopefully it'll be my last scan!
Inglewood~ When r u going? I already know there girls though!
Haven't posted over here in awhile. Hope all is good :)
I had my first attempt on Friday! Yay. Felt good about it. Had a very early OPK on CD 12 and I usually O 2 days later. Did cutoff with frequent release. Had DH release that morning and used rephresh. I'm actually wondering if I had a very short surge bc it looks like (based on FF) that I actually O'd that same day. I don't actually think timing sways anyway so I'm not sweating it. Just wondering whats going on, guess I'll know if temp stays high.
It was a great film Kell...boys loved it :) and I managed to eat some popcorn so all was good! ;)Quote:

I'm not even going to test this month, just not feeling it and am starting to feel like a twit staring at the sticks that only have one line and wishing for two, I'm going to spare myself the depression of it this month.
loads of love to you all xxx
went for a 10 mile run this am, beautiful and sunny but am completely knackered now and need an early night!
FX, so when will u test?Quote:

So its definately worth asking !! :)
Silly me should have read all the posts first just read on and seen your going to do the tick box thing inglewood doh !!
I'll be thinking of you Tuesday and for sure stalking to see. I don't even know the earliest you can test. Is it 10 days? First pregnancy I thought I had to wait till my AF to test! Haha so funny, and the next two pregnancy were...ummmm Wheres my AF....Quote:

I couldn't do this unless I knew first. Wouldn't b a good scene if it was blue inside!! Lol
Wow! never heard of that being done here!! But quite a good idea, but like you I would need to know 1st!!! xQuote:

have my booking in appointment at the hospital on Wednesday. Looking forward to it as it makes it seem more real. Although I've expanded already this time round! I can't believe I have anything showing!!! I'm only 10weeks 5days.
MIL said she'd like to come along to a scan. She also offered to take a day off work if I needed help with any appointments etc. That is the first time she's offered to do something like that. She always comes down to see the kids but help-wise it has never been that much. I kind of feel like I should let her come to one of them. Well the only option is the 12 week scan as I am hoping to find out at the 20 week scan. Can't have her there for that rollercoaster ride.
OMG - your scan is on Tuesday Inglewood!!!!! You must be beside youself! Fx bubbas are behaving and show off their bits!
chocolate - I understand your hesitation with the August situation. My DS2 was born on the 31st August. If we come back to the UK the poor little mite will be expected to go to school JUST after he turns 4. Not sure what I would do...
better go... am struggling with insomnia this pregnancy and it wipes me out in the day....
hopeanddream ~ i've heard of it before and I have to say I love the idea of gender cakes! but couldnt have done it myself since I had too much of a gender preference this time.
Pinga ~ insomnia is terrible! i've had my fare share of that in this pregnancy too! hope you manage to get some rest!
Inglewood ~ :D :D i'll be wearing pink for you tomorrow!!
AFM ds1 has been poorly all weekend with what I can only assume is a bad cold and has slept terribly.. he's now also developed a tickly cough which kept him up ALL NIGHT last night so he's been up since 4am this morning. I'm in for a fun day! *zZz*
I'm looking forward to my scan this afternoon. Keeping fx that it goes well!
Wow gender cake sounds fun, good excuse for a gender party lol! I guess if we have an august baby then I would consider doing just part-time days till the January and seeing how he/she coped. But then the 3rd child would probably be ready sooner as seen the brothers go to school so that's reassuring to think like that. My ph has come down to 4.5 on cd 8 yay! If we dtd on cd 10 ish - and ph is 4.5, should I still do replens incase I get egg white cm around ovulation as the sperm may still be there waiting for the egg if I ovulate on cd17 again.... But the replens won't change the cm by the fallopian tubes..... Will also dtd on cd 17 ish so was going to use it on cd16 - guess I should just try it today and see what it does.
I had a look at loads of gender cake reveals on you tube LOVE the idea!! There is a funny one where they both had a cupcake and the bakery messed up and one bit into a blue and one into a pink cupcake!!Quote:

Will you do one Hope?
Inglewood just over 24 hours!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek I'm so, so excited for you!
Chocolate what a great PH!! exciting that your attempt is soon!
Sunset have a lovely time seeing DD again before you get to meet her!
Pinga nice to see MIL is taking an interest in your scan. Sorry to hear you have pregnancy insomnia but lovely to hear you have a little bump appearing:)
Finally stopped freaking out about the full moon posted a thread on the TTC blue board and lots of their girls were conceived with a full moon as well as new! :) :) :)
Thanks lavenderlime, hoping it stays low and minimal egg white cm as I always dtd when I saw that with the boys and used pre-seed lol so I'm doing the very opposite to how I got the boys. Great to know that about the full moon. I tried to do a search to see how many girls and boys are concieved in december in the uk but couldn't find any figures, be interested to know if there is a huge ratio gap, but think that would make it too easy so can't work like that or wed all get our choosen gender easily and the natural 51/49 ratio wouldn't work anymore
:D to popcorn and a good film x we are planning to go after our early scan on the 10th :DQuote:

Indigo - sometimes when you feel there is no chance that is the month you get your BFP x this attempt I thought i had killed everything with my neat lime and thrush lol FX FX FX
deaks - hope you get your BFP too
Babymad - glad you had a lovely family day
AFM counting down for my scan lol just want to a happy healthy baby will be a wreck on the morning.....just under 2 weeks. Still feeling awful but if i eat regularly keep it under control its never been like this before. Somedays i think pink then others definitely blue!! Time will tell i suppose x
Typed lots then the website updated for 30mins and lost it all...ggggrrrrrr
Had a lovely day visiting my friend with her 3mth old girl (after 2 boys, didn't sway). She's so adorable, hope her cuddles today gives me luck tom!!! Even if it's the sonographer and not the Consultant I'm gonna ask her anyway, nowt to loose and my mum would ask for me if I didn't!! Got the paper with tick boxes and envelope already in my Pg folder. So desp to see then again and getting so nervous, wish my scan was earlier than 11.45pm. If I haven't logged after it's because I have a Physio Class (as I had SPD prev) at 1-2.30pm and might not have time to nip home and post on here. Should be home by 3.30pm once boys from school to update, although have a feeling tom is not my day to find out, don't know why I'm worrying as only 1 of them need to be 'flashing' their bits!!! Suppose I think it's because I'll only be 17 + 5 tom. lol
I LOVED the you tube gender cake videos, although I'd be well pee'd off if I had been the people with pink and blue cupcakes, or plain sponge and had to open the envelope anyway!!!
Sunset, how did the scan go?
Pinga, take ur MIL up on all the help u can!!
Any Bfp's from our testing ladies????
Babymad, looks a god film and bet the popcorn was delicious for you after being sick so much? Is it easing off any?
Charlie, Bet u can't wait! Have u told the boys yet?
spotting again :( arrghhhhhh i hate early pregnancy - no havnt told the boys wont even after this scan not till 12wks then wont make a BIG thing about it till 20wks x
yay for pink cuddles
Charlie, take it easy! Sure everything is ok!! but just think, after ur scan on 10th u'll only have 2 wks to wait till 12wk scan then ur past 12wks and Fx things settle....

Inglewood ~ so excited for you tomorrow, what time is your scan??
Im doing abit better thanks, ive not been sick in the morning for a week or so, still being sick in the evening when I feel dreadful and struggling with the insomnia as no sleep makes me feel dreadful from the minute I get up. I am eating abit more now, mostly sweet things, teacakes, shortbread, jam sandwiches!! I do feel very low some days as struggling to function is very hard some days, but trying to get through it as best as I can. Sorry didnt mean to write an essay!!
Charlie ~ why dont you call your mw she may get you a scan just to check everything? Hope it all settles down soon x
Good LUCK Ingelwood!!
I came on here to comment about the like button!!
Ah Charlie, what a worry for you again! I have heard of lots of ladies getting spotting all the way through!
I had some with DS2 on a few occassions in the first trimester but all was fine, think mine was where my body hadnt 100% healed after my miscarriage.
Sunset hope you had a fab scan and cant wait to hear if Inglewood gets to find out tomorrow!
We are hoping to dtd tonight, cd8 and then again on cd 15 and hoping that gives us a 3 day ish cut off but not too fussed on what timing that gives us as I know thats the least important. Will be using replens every 2 to 3 days as well and hoping ph behaves!
Do you think I can take some sudafed daily till O day? Took 2 tonight ready for tonight and will again before the next dtd session but what about 1 a day in between as I do usually get egg white cm through out so hoping that will minimize that as not doing any douches apart from replens
Hi all, really need to catch up on all your posts but literally havent stopped for 3 days! DS1 has had a lovely few days for his birthday with today being the actual big day. My MIL and FIL came down for a couple of hours which was nice although they did annoy me. Have slaved over a cake for 2 days and just as ds2 is tucking into his piece, MIL produces chocolate for him out of her bag...i mean, who does that just when homemade cake has been served???!! aaaargh!
Anyway i hope you are all ok, from the posts i have seen, babymad glad the sickness has eased up a bit! Charlie, am thinking of you and looking forward to you being scanned. Hope you will feel reassured :)
AFM, i know i said i wouldnt test early (apparently i cant help myself!!) but it seems like i may have an extremely faint line at 7dpo! Not going to totally hold my breathe especially as the same thing happened before my chemical. Seems too early anyway right? pleeeeease god!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the like button!! :D
My scan went great! baby is growing well and everything is looking great so don't need to come back for anymore scans :D next time i'll be in hospital will be when i'm in labour :p eek!
inglewood ~ i am so super excited for your scan tomorrow!!! enjoy seeing your little beanies :D
charliespy ~ ((hugs)) thinking of you!! i cant imagine how worrying it must be with all the spotting :(
chocolate ~ good luck with your attempt!! :)
Babymad ~ glad to hear you're feeling better in the mornings.. hopefully you're over the worst!
hello to everyone else!! :)
so nice to hear from you hun! how exciting with a super faint line :D have you done a first response yet?Quote:

No i havent done first response as i dont have any. I have one clearblue digital which i thought id save for the morning. I kinda feel silly as it seems very early but i only tested because my cervix has gone tight shut and high and upturned which has only ever happened before my chemical bfp. The line really is very faint but its giving me hope! Someone asked me whether having a chemical would put me off testing early but i would still know if i was having a chemical even if i didnt test as it was sooo painful and the blood was so dark it was almost black and clotted too...yuk! Please let this be my month!
I had a month like this before I fell pregnant with ds1 and i'm convinced I had an early miscarriage even though i can never prove it :(Quote:

Ok night ladies, thanks for all your 'PINK' wishes for tomorrow, promise to log on asap, just hoping at 17+5 the Consultant is scanning me and not the Sonographer, either way just happy to see my babies again. Hope I can sleep....ahh... lol xx
Inglewood, I hadn't realised your scan was tomorrow, omg how exciting!! Will be on here as much as I can waiting for you to update us!
