Fx for Tuesday ingle x girl comments are the worst i knew ds3 was a boy but? kept. it secret howeverthe bet its a girl comments hurt so much i told in the end x i know this time will be even worse :( its the 'pity' from people that pees me off the most and they always have 1 of. each sorry rant over! maybe say you aren't finding out the sex till the private scan ;)
Inglewood~ sometimes we have dreams that are meant to "prepare us" its like practice..It doesn't mean they actually are boys....(I know you know this) and You know I completely believe they are girls!!
Also, I have already decided I will not tell anyone the gender..I CANNOT stand the comments..drives me nuts!!!
Thank you! Not sure what I will do now?? I have told people that if DH can't come to my scan on tues I won't find out till my 4d scan in jan, buying me more time. Dh will def be there, so miht have to tell a a wee white lie....Quote:

Good for u keeping it a secret H&G, have u ever known b4 birth the sex? I haven't.
I can feel them move now, kick tiny wee kicks and move about. Feels strange, but reassuring!!
Charlie, the weather is calmer, snowed today for 10mins, but yest was WILD!! 80mph winds here, luckily no damage!
Just a quick one, as just finished work,
Charlie have a lovely scan tomorrow and tree decorating morning!
HADG good luck with you blood test results FX for a BFP for you. x
Pinga what lovely scan pictures i'm leaning girl too!!
Hiya, charlie enjoy your scan, very exciting! I finally ovulated on cd19, had a dream last night we were looking at the nub and it was all boy lol. Getting ahead of myself, only 1dpo lol but I still think if it works ill think boy. At butlins and loving it, and eating whatever I like but avoiding sugary stuff just incase!
Morning ladies!!
Inglewood ~ I completely understand why you would want to wait to tell until you've took your boys to the 4d scan! i can't understand someone would take offense at that.. but then again people take offense at offense at everything these days. People throw little toddler like temper tantrums because i won't reveal what names we're considering :rofl: it's so annoying the pity isn't it.. i personally think expecting twins is such a blessing regardless of gender :) imagine you're gonna snuggle 2 newborns, that's just so amazing! i agree with hopeanddream, i believe you're having boy dreams to mentally prepare yourself not because they are boys iywkim.. only 4 more sleeps until you find out, eek :D so exciting! i'll be here stalking ;) i was wondering, if you were team green before, how come you've decided to find out this time? I've been team green too before but this time i felt my preference was too strong to hold of finding out until birth so that was my reason.
Charliespy ~ I'm very excited for you! enjoy your scan and seeing your little bean :) looking forward to your update!
Chocolate ~ glad to hear you ovulated!!! enjoy the 2ww!! :D fx for a bfp!
AFM the plan today was to drive to Manchester and visit friends, but ds2 woke up poorly with a fever so thinking he's got what ds1 had a week ago :( guess we won't be able to go now.. but will wait and see how he feels in a few hours. Hope you all have a lovely saturday! :)
I'm really hoping you're all right with the nub guesses. I'm not even sure if it is a nub or not? I have no idea really... only 8 weeks til we find out and 6 of those are school holidays... feel like I"m going to be wishing the holidays away.
Inglewood - I get your hesitation to tell. I've been telling everyone that I don't know whether to find out... its like one of those things where I want to look but don't want to. I know we're definitely finding out... but I don't want to tell anyone beforehand so we'll be fibbing :D I just want the time to deal with whatever we're having without comments from other people.
We were out last night for drinks - DH birthday and we told his friends I'm PG. One of them was saying - oh I hope its a boy. I've been pretty laid back about any comments but oooooohhhhh this one peeeeed me off big time. He was joking around saying - oh you have to create the family cricket team (DH is already one of 4 boys). I told him off and said what about me!!!! People really don't think!!!!
My brother arrives tomorrow morning so I might not be back until next week... so good luck with any attempts in the meantime and I've got my fingers crossed we'll get some more pink BFPs soon!!!!
Morning ladies, Just a quickie I'm afraid as got a mega busy weekend. I have decided to start takingn the antibiotics. Have researched them and they have a short half life of 1 hr which means they should be out of my system in around 13 hours of taking the last one. I guess this is why I have to take 4 a day as they wear off quickly. Anyway now that I'm not so worried about that aspect I am turning my worry to the fact that I have to take 4 gelatin tablets a day on top of the 2 geletin acidiphilus ones. Does anyone know how long gelatin raises testosterone for? Will it be out of my system in a few days?
Just a thought, could I open the capsules up and take the contents? Also my non geletin acidiphilus have just arrived so things looking up if I can break open the antibiotics!!
i will ask DH when he gets home but i think for them to work properly you need to leave them in the capsules something about absorbing them properly if you take them out of the capsules it might kill them off in the stomach? He will know x he is out swimming and tree shopping x oh and getting me more mince meat made 24 mini ones run out of mincemeat!!
Slept terribly last night dh was out so that didnt help and i was worrying about today and then ds3 had a nappy explosion at 4am!!!! BRILL
sunset - so sorry ds is poorly hope he is feeling better soon x
chocolate - FX For your bfp and enjoy butlins my friend is there this weekend winter wonderland???
inglewood - i would not say anything till jan,,,,hehe keep them guessing x
pinga fx for your girl x x
love to all x off to sort out my naughty ds3
Thanks hun, i would be keen to know what your dh thinks. I did some research and because it seems to be quite a rapid release (hence the short half life) drug that opening it shouldnt be too much of a problem. Let me know! X
Pinga - those are beautiful scan photos, they obviously had a good machine - some of them are so unclear! Are you going to post in the Ultrasound Guesses forum? Some of the other ladies are good at guessing and Foxy is an ultrasound tech so she's the only one I believed when she said no nub in my pictures!!
Deaks - I'm not sure I'd worry about the geletin in the tablets. There's not going to be a huge amount and the boy swayers are having to consume A LOT to increase testosterone. Also, increasing/decreasing testosterone is something which takes time, it isn't instant.
Charlie - Good luck today!
Inglewood - the night before my scan I had a very weird dream. I was at my scan (but you know how dreams are, it wasn't how it is in real life!) and there was this 3D image on the computer of a man standing up and as it got to the crotch area a willy appeared and I was like 'noooo, it can't be!'. I think we all think you're having 2 little girls :D
I had a hair appt at 8am today so there I stood in the freezing cold and nobody turned up! I stayed until 8.30 as it's my Christmas do tonight and I need my hair cut today. Turns out my appointment wasn't put in the computer! I 'may' have looked like I was going to cry when the owner turned up so she quickly cut my hair, then 2 other ladies blow dried it and I got it for free - so it worked out ok in the end! The boys are all staying at my mum's tonight, first time we've left them and I'm quite nervous about it.
Thanks zanacal, its just that i would rather not take the gelatin as it will play on my mind :(
Just a quick one as we're about to set off to Manchester.. just wanted to say Charlie I'm thinking of you! good luck today and enjoy your scan! looking forward to reading your update when i get back in tonight xx
Happy healthy button measuring 10wk 5 will upload pics when home
Pleased your scan went well :)Quote:

Don't quite dare put a pg ticker up yet, will wait another week or two, just too depressing having to take it down...
Loving your bump by the way, super cute!
Charlie!!! brilliant brilliant news, yay!
I had a scan at 10ish weeks with ds2 and they say if all looks well then heartbeat and all you are 99% OK or something like that. I started telling people after my 10 week scan as the odds were so good. You can start to relax now hon and enjoy (apart from feeling ill of course!)
Deaks dh says it may not be absorbed as well as with the capsule but would still have some effect
Lovely pics Charlie x
Aww Charlie what cool pictures!! Congratulations!! :)
Feeling rubbish today, tired and upset tummy so am in bed!
I will Definetly tell you ladies... I am looking forward to the double cuddles, but the double crying and worry will be tough! I decided to find out this time as with ds2 I was SO sure he was a girl, so so sure as my pg was the complete opposite of ds1 and whe he was born I struggled to get my head round the fact he was a boy. I didn't treat him 1 bit different from when I had ds1 but the GD was tough. So I decided Id rather know and get those awful GD moments out my system and prepare for my lovely new baby boy (boys now!). Hope u got away ok today and enjoyed urself?Quote:

been obsessing at the tiny tiny nub on my pic - geez I didnt think i would be this bad! I know its too early but.......maybe I will find out lol
Scan was lovely although the couple before us came down and shouted to the receptionist 'its a girl' the lady was beaming <sigh> i wish!!! Well what will be will be x
Kell - hope you feel better soon x
Inglewood - yes thats a potty shot lol x as for finding out I did with ds3 and like you needed to know so if it was a boy i could grieve for my girl before he arrived - i did grieve ALOT however when he was then born there was no upset it was amazing and lovely :D FX for finding out the sex tuesday x x
Charlie glad it went wll and hope that's you next :-). I need a reminder - do u get a temp rise the day after ovulation, I'm getting ov pains again today and temp didn't rise, arrgh!! Just hoping its too late now as jumped and dumped and replens thursday night as this whole weekend has been boy territory so hoping we miss the egg and can start fresh after xmas!
Hello!
Chocolate ~ yes you will see a temp rise after ov has taken place.
Charliespy ~ Such a cute little peanut you're cooking!! glad the scan went well :D did they find a reason for the spotting or is it still a mystery?
Inglewood ~ Tuesday is it? wow that's so soon! how are you feeling? nervous? good luck, i am super excited for you and will be wearing pink for you on tuesday!!
AFM I'm 34 weeks today and it's dawned on me that from 34 weeks they don't try and stop labour anymore.. it's finally starting to get real :D and also.. DH booked me my practical test this morning for the 7th of january. I'll be 38 weeks then so it's very touch and go if i'll have a new baby then or not. I don't expect to pass first time though, but it would be amazing if I did :D
Sunset, wow 34wks!! I think ur pg has flown by, not sure u feel the same???lol
I can't get to sleep at night with anxiety....tonight will be worse than last night and monday night I hope I sleep at all!! Dh trying to be sweet, he things they are girls and tells me to keep calm! lol
Ds2 I 'think' has hand foot and mouth disease???? He had a rash on his foot last wk and he missed a day with a terrible cold. The rash looked like his shoe had been rubbing and he'd been scratching it, nothing serious that sudocrem won't fix. But yest, he developed about 8 spots around his mouth, none inside, they are red and 2 look white at the top today. My SIL works for nhs 24, so asked for advice and him for me, apparently the risk to me is minimal if I get it and adults rarely do as they get immunity as kids?? He's well with it, no fever, just a red throat (which he's had since his cold) no spots (as yet) inside his mouth and has lost his appetite. But he's well..... so I am a bit stuck! Heard it was about school a few wks back.
I agree your pg has flown by sunset! :)
Inglewood ~ we haven't experienced F&M so can't advise but hope your little man is better soon. Can't wait for your scan on Tuesday :)
Hi everyone hope all is ok :)
Chocolate- temp only starts to rise after O, can be gradual or a jump. Hope it works out for you this month FX
charlie- must be fun to start telling people, I can't wait until I am more confident. I am feeling sick sick sick so at least that is a good sign I guess.
sunset- wow, can't believe you are 34 weeks already, seems like no time at all you got your BFP, it has been fun sharing the journey :)
Gosh Inglewood, so so exciting about your scan on Tuesday, will definitely be wearing PINK for you :HH:
Evening everyone,
Finally managed to sit down this afternoon and make my secret santa present and it's all wrapped just need to get it posted out tommorrow!:)
Charlie lovely scan photos! Glad to hear that your bean is well and happy!
Inglewood two more sleeps!!!!
Chocolate hope you are having a lovely holiday!
Sunset not long until you get to meet you little girl I'm sure the time will fly especially with the buzz of Christmas and new year!
Indigoviolet ~ Thank you! :) and I'm looking forward to sharing your journey! :) :HH:
Inglewood ~ Both my boys had foot, hand and mouth disease when i was in my first trimester and the gp diagnosed it as chicken pox but obviously we now know it wasn't chicken pox, since they both got chicken pox when i was 19 weeks pregnant. there's no risk to you if you catch it but you are most likely immune to it anyway since it's such a common child hood disease. the only thing my boys got was blisters on their feet, hands and mouth.. but unlike chicken pox they didn't scab over or itch, but just simply disappeared after about a week. My friends children got hand, foot mouth disease a few weeks back and her husband was clearly not immune because he got it after the kids lol :p
I feel like this pregnancy has flown by.. it's strange, because when i was in my second trimester I seriously thought time was dragging but now when i'm 34 weeks pregnant it feels as if this whole pregnancy has just flown by.. i can't believe i could have a baby in 2-4 weeks time... scary! :)
Good luck on tuesday hun! i can only imagine how nervous you must be! heck, i'll probably be nervous for you on tuesday :p :D
Babymad ~ How are you doing? still feeling better I hope? :)
I know, scary! i'm getting quite anxious to meet her now actually and see that she's okay despite my chicken pox infection.. It's a worry I wish I didn't have.Quote:

I'm less sick now Sunset, still feel sick all the time and still very tired but hoping I start to feel more human over Xmas x
Are you all organised now for bubs arrival? :)
Just watched Elf with the boys....love that film :)
Been Xmas shopping today and sorting out baby things for my hospital bag. I have over two bins bags of 0-6 m clothes! Gosh not going to miss them and hopefully will not hord it all this time but get rid as soon as it's outgrown! Sister has my pram too but still doesn't feel real.
My best friend moved 400 miles away this weekend. I am so sad:-( just when I have lots of time off work looming am I will lonely as I have seen her every week since ds2 was born. We met at a Nct bump and babes group so I hope I meet new friends with this baby.
Urg heartburn made me sick in my sleep last night! Yuk! I had to sleep sitting up in the end.
