What do you mean child birth might have it's set backs? Don't like to think about that. I thought it would be easier after childbirth - more room

Aargh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be alarming, I wasn't thinking. :wall: All you need to be aware of, and your counsellor should be able to talk it through with you, is that having a baby usually won't cure it. Have you visited the vaginismus-awareness-network dot org? They have a section called misconceptions (see #9) and a section on pregnancy and vaginismus. I found it refreshingly straight talking and at the same time reassuring

Just a quick post cos I'm at work...

@perdi - just looked at that vag site, not one I've seen before. Looked at the smear test advice and that one says it's perfectly ok to ask to insert the spec thingy in yourself So that makes me so much happier. I shall take along my own lube too as I don't find KY slippery enough It's also interesting that it says the smear should be able to be done in any position. The 2 times I've been I had to sit with my feet together and my knees as close to the bed as poss - now this for me is not a position to feel relaxed in! So I may suggest doing it my way next time.

Oh and now I realise the speculum is the actual dilator like thingy, then yes they used the 'virgin' one on me after the normal one was too big. I think I remember telling her "that's never going to fit!"

@dusty - nope, I've got 2 whole years before my next smear. But at least I'm not so scared now.

Oh and perdi - don't worry you didn't scare me! I might have overreacted with the emoticons. However - where's the misconception bit. I can't find it.

How did you get on Lilian? I find it so embarrassing heading to the toilet with my bag at 2pm every day, then sneaking out of the cubicle with my pot to give it a wash. Ooh the shame..!

Tested negative but managed it quite easily - although it was the not drinking too much for 2 hours before that I struggled with, I have my bottle of water and pot of green tea on my desk at all times!

We are having them as wedding favours!


So, I forgot AGAIN to take my temp before getting up this morning so my chart is now all over the place. Lucky I'm backing it up with OV sticks!

Reading this book at the moment: Planning a Baby? A Complete Guide to Pre-Conceptual Care. It's very interesting although the nutrition stuff is scaring me, how am I supposed to eat all the things they recommend every day?!

AF arrived yesterday:(

This was our second cycle since ttc, and both times we didn't time it right - dtd 4 or 5 days before ov:o I know it's only 20% chance of conceiving even if we timed it right, but this is just so bad. Shall I tell OH or not...?

helping_hubby

Awww I'm sorry quaver I think you should tell OH. Or am I missing some history here?

It is pretty rubbish to know that even if everything is perfect there's only a 20% chance of conceiving.

@lilian - I've not thought about reading a book. I scared of jinxing things. Silly I know.

**confuzzled**

Quaver sorry the witch got you but no need to be so down about it and it isn't, as you put it, "so bad"...like you said it's only a 20% chance and so long as you bd often(more around OV time) then you'll catch at some point..besides you haven't really been trying all that long so you should still be full of PMA:)
If you really are down about it then yes you should tell your DH for the support..plus I reckon he'll guess anyway when he can't have his wicked way with you;) Unless he's into that sort of thing_pale_:eek::rotfl:

Morning ladies!
Sorry, I haven't been able to get on for a few days.... Had a lovely Valentines weekend with hubby - he sent me a dozen red roses to work on Friday - how sweet

Anyway, this week, I have been feeling really quite odd.... I am trying to tell myself that I'm making all this up, and that they are just ghost symptoms, but, I am currently on CD24, for the past 8 days I have been feeling quite sickly. Not all the time, it comes in waves, and is like a tummy turning, sicky feeling, but I don't actually feel like I will BE sick - if that makes sense! I've gone super spotty, had a few on and off tummy pains, and today started with back ache. Now, AF should be arriving early next week, so the back ache could just be signs of that, BUT!!! Me and hubby went to the pub on Valentines night. I had a glass of rose wine, but it didn't really 'take me' as such, so decided to try something different, had a bulmers pear cider instead, and it tasted off... just funny, hubby tried it and said it was fine but I left it cos it wasnt right..... Went home, and had a bottle of Jacques cider left from a party we went to a couple of weeks ago - opened that, had a few sips and THAT tasted funny too!! Now I didn't put this down to anything, but I was telling my best friend yesterday, and she has added all my symptoms, and decided I'm pregnant!
I don't think I'd feel sick quite so soon after OV, but who knows I guess....?

Coincidentally, I take my temps every day at 6am, on the day I was due to OV, it peaked as it should, and yesterday, 8 days later, peaked again.... Dropped again today though....

It's hard not to get carried away with the excitement of it all isn't it - but I am staying calm, remaining chilled, and not starting to believe I could be as yet - but, I am off out to purchase a first response test today (are these the best do you think?) and will test on Saturday morning (20th Feb - CD28)
Can I go on the list please Fuzz??

I will catch up on the thread during my lunch today - have missed you all

Love

A x
