Hope you all enjoyed your weekends and slept in if you could!
Salt - I broke out in a couple of really big awful pimples at 10dpo, I thought it could have been AF aswell - but it obviously wasn't!! I remember talking about BFZ (big fat zits lol at the time!!). And now my skin is looking really nice and clear with a rosie glow (although thats probably the zero degress in Tasmania!!). Do you normally break out with AF? Anyway, pimples is a good sign - hooray!! I tested negative at 10dpo, as well as a definate negative 12dpo. It wasn't until 14dpo that I got a faint positive. I guess I just wanted to see if I was one of those lucky people that gets a positive result as early as 10dpo - I wasn't, never mind! So, how long do you think you will wait before testing!! I didn't really have any symptoms Salt, other than I just didn't feel like AF was on her way - you know that slightly "off" feeling you can get, a bit of cramping etc - well it never came, just a few pimples and then a bfp! Fingers crossed for you Salt!
Bun - you poor thing. I had m/s really awful with my 3 children/pregnancies. It really changes your life and what you can achieve. There's not much you can do about it, but ride the wave and have very low expectations of yourself. The one thing I thought helped me was to eat Minties, must have been the chewing effect and the taste of mint - when I couldn't stomach food, I could eat a mintie or two! You sound really well though, and you are inching your way forward!!
Pash - I've wondered about you many times over the last few days. How are you? We all are concerned and want to know what's happening with you. Big hugs Pash, and praying all is settling down and will be fine.
Satya - hi!! How're doing? Did you O?? And now for another 2WW, blah! I wonder if you will be pg this cycle, did putting a plan in place ease some pressure somewhere?? Hugs.
Hello to everyone else and I'm hoping for a few more BFP this week from you lovely ladies.
As for little me, I've had an up and down few days. Been thinking about my little man who died in March. Just had one of the midwifes from his birth visit me again. They are all in disbelief that he died of pneumonia. I'm sure it would be easier for the hospital to deal with had it been a simple SIDS case, i.e. no concern for any negligence issues. I won't go into it all, but it's all very depressing, and has been on my mind.
And I feel even stranger being pregnant again - like I have so much "unfinished" business from my last baby, it makes it harder to focus on this new one. And I'm worried to think about a new baby so much yet, in case something goes wrong. It's all so hard.
And to top it off, my other 2 kids (aged 9 and 7) were having a video chat with their interstate cousins yesterday. One of my sisters in law had a baby a few months before my little boy was born/died. Well, she came to my baby's funeral and I have not heard from her since (over 3 months ago). Yesterday she put her baby boy's face right up to the Webcam, so it literally was "in my face". Honestly, it felt like a dagger through my heart, and I walked away. It just feel this was so damm insensitive - to shove your baby into the face of a lady whose baby died 3 months ago. It's not something I would ever do, and the image keeps popping into my mind. Sorry for the ramble, but had to get that out. Incredible how many people just don't get it, not even a little bit. You'd think it would be a bit of common sense at the very least.
Anyway, I feel fine physically, just tired. I don't feel pg really. I hope to avoid the m/s this time. I did another HPT on Saturday, and the 2nd line is very very dark, as dark as the control line. So that tells me my hormone levels are on the rise.
