Ami - You posted just as I was typing my post lol afm means 'As for me', it's just easier to type afm instead of the whole thing. Took me quite a while to get used to using it when I joined the forums back in october 2008. When's your AF due? Mine is due Saturday, but after the m/c last month when we got our BFP 1 day after AF was due I'm waiting until next tuesday before I test just in case AF does decide to put in an appearance. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that you get your BFP this month though!
Dory - Hiya darl! It's great to see you're still hanging in there, I've been thinking of you a lot, and my DH said to tell you next time I spoke to you that he's wishing you good luck!
lol about saying hi to me in another thread, thats just like me not remembering what I've read on the orevious page when trying to type out all the persies lol I've been drinking water like it's going out of fashion, eating fruit, bread, cereal... everything I can to get things moving.
On the upside though, we walked past someone smoking this morning (I'm an ex-smoker, managed to finally quit just before christmas, though I went through a pack of them on the morning of my wedding, and paid for it afterwards d'oh) and it made me feel really queasy... normally it's like I'm someone who hasn't had a drink of water in a week and is given a jug of water every time I walk past someone who's smoking, so it's very odd... but then again the majority of my sense of smell has gone MIA with this flu, so that could be causing it. I soo want to test though, 4 more days until AF is due, and I have to wait until next tuesday when I get paid to test. Bugger.
Just a general question - I know I'm not going to be able to hold onto that pee on tuesday until I get down the street, so is it ok to put the sample in the fridge until I get home? Just thought I'd ask as it would make things sooo much simpler in the mornings when testing lol
afm - DS now has the flu too... he's soo clingy, screams when we put him down, snot dripping down past his lips, tries to eat it (yucky! lol) rubs it all over his face... it's the first time he's ever had the flu, which must be a record for an almost 16 month old... he's had colds before, but they've only ever been really mild with a bit of a blocked nose and a slight fever, nothing more.
Poor munchkin. I'd better go and relieve DH so he can go and do housework lol
JennaJayen- Well see first of this morning i went to toilet (this is funny!) and i peed, i was still half asleep got up off the toilet just about to wipe when i noticed something in the toilet oh my god!!!!!!!! it was a ****roach!!!!!!!!!! scared the crap outta me!!! then if that wasn't bad enough i noticed a bit of blood on the tissue so i was like great went back to the bedroom then i realised i was a week early and it could be implantation!!! got so excited then... cos the blood was bright red and very light... had bad cramps though this morning and some darker bleeding.... then this afternoon nothing! no cramps... no blood... so hoping fingers crossed.... Great thing you don't have to pay tax hey! that's awesome - good job you checked all that out before you started! think i might have to start a hobby... before i drive myself insane during these 2ww's how did you decide you wanted to do that?
Millyd - I've been confused about what it is all day... at first it was AF, then i suspected it could be implantaion, then it was AF again now im not too sure will let you guys know as soon as i know myself haha! strange how she's a week early though! grr
Jellylove - No more blood? That's sounding VERY promising darl! I'm double crossing everything that that was implantation I've never had it myself. I had a slight breakthrough bleed with DS the day after our BFP (I was approx 3 days late, but not sure as I was on the pill lol) some mucousy dark red on the the TP a couple of times and then nothing.
I've always liked beading, and jewellery, I started doing a couple of simple elastic bracelets to give to friends for my 20th bday before I met DH, and only did that for a couple of months, one bracelet a week lol then when DH and I bought our first house in september 08 I needed something to do while he was away, so I pulled my beads out and started making simple bracelets again. I've now graduated from simple bracelets to necklaces, display pieces, wrap-around bracelets, chokers, earrings etc, you name it I could probably make it. I've made fully posable beaded insects, octopus/jellyfish and pandora style charms. And my entry into the competition has a semi-chainmaille part to it (my first ever attempt at it, and it even looks proffessional!), just to give it some pizazz I'm actually really liking doing chainmaille, lots of fiddling, but the end product looks stunning, and you can add all sorts of charms onto the chainmaille links to add your own personal touch to it. I think I've been actively beading for... 18 months now gosh the time has flown by lol and I still ahve so much to learn!
If you want to give beading a try to see if you like it, get some plastic or glass beads of any style (I prefer glass, I'm not a plastic fan at all lol all my pieces use glass or metal beads), some thread (tigertail, fishing line, elastic etc), tie a thick knot at one end (has to be thick enough that the beads won't slide over it) with approx 2 inches of thread left free at the end, thread your beads onto the other end in whatever pattern you want, make it as long or as short as you want, and if you're using elastic, tie the ends together and make sure that the knot won't come apart (it is the most frustrating thing when you're trying to tie off a piece and it slips and all the beads fall off, hence the extra 2 inches of thread at the knotted end), if you're using tiger tail or fishing line, attach a clasp onto the end, attach the knotted end onto the eyelet (the bit the clasp connects onto the hold it closed) and you have your bracelet/necklace
The best thing is, that you can sell them at markets, on online auction sites and pretty much anywhere these days. The best designers can even get shops to put their items on display to sell on commission.
OH Ami and Jellylove,
my fingers are so tightly crossed for you, nothing else though as Bd has started
Hi to everyone else, too tired tonight...sorry
Rose how are you??? whats happening now??
Ami I am so excited for you...cant wait to know more, when is AF due???
love and babydust
oh and Dory I have been keeping an eye on you in another thread, glad you are doing well xxxxx
Jenna, No more blood so far - but there's time yet! And I'm just so worried, I know it's bad too stress about it, but it's definitely easier said than done not to! Say I do get my bfp... How long will it last this time? KWIM? I think everyone in here thinks the same things tho
Your beading sounds amazing! It's crazy how you came from doing it as a small keepsake thing for friends to selling it online! I hope you end up with your own shop that would just be fantastic wouldn't it? Do you have a link to your e-bay shop? I'd love to see some of it! I think I might give it a try, might not be for me! might be that i end up loving it! I did take up knitting for a while but i only knitted a few inches and then gave up Thinking of going for a walk early tomorrow morning as i have the next week off from work! might start doing something with myself!
Another BFN today 11dpo. I am still cramping, breasts are even more painfull( not usual for me with pms only with ovulation). Metal mouth from time to time. Still feel terribly so at this stage i am thinking it is going to be the mother of all AF's. Still posotove for the coming months and who knows maybe even this month. I am a strong believer in getting your hopes up and it does no harm .Bad news is still bad news even if you were hopefull and the fall is not any harder. Always think the best and be positive.
Alice- I hope you are well and all the visitors took your mind of things for a while. You seem to have an amazing social life.
Jellylove- Sounds so exciting. I hope you are feeling positive as it certainly seems that way to me. As for the ****roach i think i would die. I have never seen one but the thoughts of it make me shiver.
Bons -how are you, any news? Only a few days left.
Jenna- I admire your ability to hold off till next tuesday to test. I should take some advice from that. I am praying you have no AF on Saturday. Your symptoms sound promising. Fingers crossed for you hon.
Ami- fingers crossed for you hon.
Dory- hi there. Hope you are doing well and staying strong you come accross like a very strong and caring person.
I'm going to go and try and get some work done. Supposed to be doing papers and research all week and am so behind obsessing over all of these symptoms. I will no doubt test again tomorrow and let you all know.
I have to appologise again for my spelling. I was never any good at it but doing ok in life with computer spell checks.
Chat tomorrow
rose - hang in there! signs seem positive! best of luck - keep trying with the poas I remember with my first i poas at 10dpo and got a bfn but then poas day af was due and BFP! so yeah there's still time hun xx fingers crossed for you! and the ****roach was not a nice thing to experience when i had just woken up
Matthew's Mum - Thank you! xx
millyd - Hello there! And thankyou! Best of luck for you too! xx
kitfaerie-could it be a sneaky bfp...t-hopes-i like gardening,i think getting back to nature is good for us...jennajayen-maybe ring pathology about sample,i think putting in fridge is what i've been told to do on previous occasions,don't trust my memory on that one though...jellylove-hope the bleeding turns out to be positive..millyd-what a lovely thing to do(praying together)...dory-glad to hear things going well,fear is to expected..ami-you are doing fine with the abbreviations,fmu(first morning urine)is the strongest,they say not to wait to long as then the 2nd line can be an evaporation line,having sore boobs is a good sign,might be too early for anything else to show...thinking of you all
