Trying for a Baby Part Six

tinksy

hi ladies

I've been off out to my nannys tonight as it was her birthday bought her a nice cardi!!!

Someone said further back (sorry i can't remeber who!) that you wont get pregnant until you are happy in your head and I agree. We didn't ttc last month because I was feeling very down etc and this month we have but i am feeling very positive and I know even if its BFN i can cope and carry on next month.

af is due this time next week, I have sore b o o bs which is an AF sign so I'm not to hopeful but we shall see.

July!:shocked: Perhaps the next baby:D

Banana milk? I see why you drank it:o
Didn't it taste funny?

No.Tis weird! Said it had til the 28th and this was the 25th. Even though I had it open for a week. Tasted and smelt ok. Weird!

I know July! Thats 4 months to wait instead of only 3 - SOB.

:eek: A few weeks ago I had some banana icecream latish in the evening, then woke up in the early hours to be violently sick, every hour, for about 6 hours! I'm not sure if it was the icecream that made me ill, but I haven't had any (of any flavour!) since as the thought of it now makes me feel _pale_

That's horrid! I had the trots every hour for 3 hours. Fine until the morning and then trotted twice on waking up. Fine for a day then once more the following afternoon. Each time I trotted I had a fever. :-s

Good idea, take the lower temp for FF:)

Thanks, I'll talk to DH about it then and if he's in agreement I'll order one for next cycle

Hmmmm never thought of it from that angle, i always hear stories from friends about blokes chasing em round the bedroom. Mine is a bit more laid back i suppose. Ill still get something new and lacy as it makes me fell nice andit might rub off on Hubby...

How did you test go???

My fella is carrying more lbs than he wants to (as am I) and it's beginning to stress him out, and he has (although unbelievable to some) self esteem issues... I have found nicer lingerie/sleep stuff to do the trick too, but at the end of the day if he's tired/stressed/down/beating himself up, it's not going to happen - it's as much about the fella's PMA and emotional wellbeing as it is about ours imo

Thanks for asking --BFN but it's ok, I was expecting it to be iykwim. I'm kind of doing them more to make sure I'm not missing anything rather than because I'm expecting to get a +ive, if you get me? It sounds more negative than it actually is, but it's actually how I stay positive and level headed/mooded...if that makes any sense whatsoever!!:o


So, things I'm grateful for if this cycle's a bust (and AF finally shows!):

1. More chance of finding out if there are m/c risks associated with my PCO/S and anything I can do/take to reduce them beforehand
2. More time to lose weight, for both DH and me, which would increase both our moods and self esteem and would mean less complications in pg
3. More time to enjoy ourselves and our (relatively) financially stress free newly-weddedness
4. More time to sort the house out and get in decent routines and habits (eg meal times and exercise/dog walking etc)
5. More BDing

That PMAed up enough for you ladies?

Aw at Madbird having a boy

Haveread back and cant remember a thing....
Um CD29 now average at 28-31 but had a bfn on Tuesday afternoon.... only one ic hpk left so wil either do it in the morning and get rid of the test far too much temptation Pretty certain I wont be having a 2011 baby which ive sort of got my head around now and its a positive thing so following on from all your 5 reasons posts
1, 2012 is a nicer year.... I was born in an even year as was oh and would be nicer.
2, I get to stay here and talk to you lot
3, Every month we arent pregnant means ohs debts are slowly paid off and our wedding fund gets bigger ahem
4, Its an extra month for me to try and lose weight..... I need to sort out my weight Im not happy with it and considering applying for the biggest loser program as I actually dont know how to start it :S
5, Itll happen one day, and good things come to those who wait!
6, A few extra months heartache will be worth it in the long run.... maybe fates playing a part majorly in it all

How sad is late night love on heart :O

OK, another massive post coming up...

Now isn't that strange. Pushing you to have IVF when she left it all to fate herself. Mmmm, maybe she regrets that decision and doesn't want you to make the same mistake? Or maybe it's just because she knows how much you want this, so she's trying to push you in the direction of a solution.

Maybe.

I signed up to the site. Interestingly, I remembered I felt, ahem, very randy late last week and over the weekend too. I'm pretty sure I ovulated then, when I combine that symptom with the sore nips and lower tum pains. I felt too rough to do anything about it though! lol. But I remember it only because I never used to notice anything like that whilst on the pill, so it took me by surprise how strong it was.

Primal instincts:D

Defo all over for me boooooooo !!

I need to be happy there before anything can happen!!

She's right:cool: Let's be happy!:j

I'm thinking about trying one of those Clear Blue Monitor thingys but how bloody expensive are they ???? :eek::eek:

You can get second hand ones on ebay, and sell it back on ebay after you've finished with it:cool: I also heard you can get it for £20 at some larger Superdrugs, but I've never seen it.

For all of those who can remeber Madbird I've spoken to her recently she's having a baby boy which I'm so chuffed to let you all know about and also she wanted to say this!!

I remember her!:j She was one of those who were even older than me:D

I told DH this and he now thinks the people on this thread are trying to make the world a better place by encouraging everyone to have more sex.

:rotfl:

I honestly have no idea if/when I ovulate. My monitor and OPKs seem to think so but my temps suggest not.

One could get the surge but not ov, and get another surge and then ov...

Is it the banana or the cream?:( I thought ice creams were OK for ages.

I heard a story/fable recently that is kinda relevant - it's about religion/god, but applies to fate as well. Something along these lines:
So like euronorris says, we are dealt cards and it is up to us how we choose to play them!

Lovely story:o

You can get those really thin/sensitive condoms, would he give those a try? Or you could try the rhythm method?

My DH tried those, and he said it doesn't bother him. I put it on for him:D Come to think of it, do I need a condom? It's not like I get pg straightaway:rotfl:

Well, my DH is FINALLY home :j
I left work at lunchtime so that I could come home and see him (and have a cheeky welcome home BD!)
It's so nice to have him back.

Yay!:j

Now, I have a question for you experts out there...on my FF calendar, it's telling me that I'm fertile all this week, with predicted ov on sunday despite my not having had a period....what's that all about?

Don't know:huh: Don't trust FF too much though, it's only a machine:p
Do you think you may have ov'd already with recent ewcms?

Wonder_Womble wrote: »

I think it was Euro who asked about divulging all ttc / ov info to OHs, and tbh I've found that it is best to not be to detailed. I let my OH know when I expect to be ov'ing, once AF has arrived, then remind him when the time is near.

Good idea, I only give a quick answer if he asks me, but tell him when I have AF and near ov and ov:cool:

I think you may have mentioned her before. I think that maybe she is wishing she had explored other avenues rather than leaving it to fate, and doesn't want you to make the same mistake as her.

I have mentioned her before, it'll be hard to find someone like her, in her 40s and been ttc since her 20s and knows nothing about ov, or AF=no baby:rotfl:

Wonder_Womble wrote: »

Just reading this and I am wondering whether she knows you also have to DTD to conceive, or was she leaving that to fate too?

No, her DH loves BD, and I assume he knows what he's doing:p

Even though I'm on CD1 I'm not really feeling down like I thought I might when the fat lady started singing. Perhaps speaking to the consultant today has spurred me on as she didn't look horrified when I said what an old biddy I am :rotfl:

So, lots of luck to everyone for a BFP this month including meeeee

Great PMA!:j

Wonder_Womble wrote: »

when I woke up I had this amazing feeling of contentment that I had a baby Then I realised it wasn't real and thought that it must be and omen that I should do a pg test. The BFN was a disappointment

Sorry for the BFN:o But your time will come - soon!
I had one of those dreams too. Oh the contentment of seeing one's own baby:o

deborahmcgeachy wrote: »

You know me QQ I don't test I'm gonna use my digi only when it is likely I am preg well either that or watch it go out of date whichever comes 1st!!! :rotfl:

Mine will be out of date in November:eek:

deborahmcgeachy wrote: »

She's due in June so what's that 6 months gone now!!!! :shocked:

I still remember the day she announced her BFP!!! How time flys!!!

So do I:o

Fellpony wrote: »

Booooooooooooooooooo Hissssssssssssssssssssssss
CD1 for me. oh and TMI time - OMG I have never bled quite as much on day 1...
So back to counting the days til ov again.

March BFP for us all!:beer:

QQ - it's sad re: your work colleague. I understand leaving things to fate but, there is no harm in being educated on the matter and it sounds like she was not... I think others are right in that she is encouraging you to do the IVF as she may regret that she did not.

I suppose it's not that late, I did drop hints like there was a person at the fertility clinic who's the same age as you etc, but I think she is going through menopause:( I'll mention egg donation soon.
They are rich, they go to luxurious holidays few times a year:cool:

Madbird - i lurk on the pg forums and watch all of the graduates (i promise i'm not stalking though!)

I do that too:D
I hear some sad news from time to time too:(
I wish BFP=baby. Especially in this day and age.

CD5(22) here and I've told DH that should try the every day approach this month (starting with tonight just in case....!) So we are going to make an effort to BD every day for the next 9 days :eek: I will be exhausted.......

Good luck:D:j
Wish we could do that, or even every other day (doctor's orders:o)
We tried it, and DH tried his very best, but he couldn't finish. That's when I mentioned IUI, and DH jumped on:p

My chart is so symmetrical today - how cool to have the same temps back to back and (carrying on with my 7's theme) if you imagine a mirror in the middle, it's the number 7 mirrored :cool: (At least I amuse myself, right?!?) :rotfl:

It's not bad if you see it in celsius:D

My theory is - if I focus on something else, I won't be obsessing over baby making!;)

Good idea:cool:

Fingers crossed it's pg symptom. Remember being happy is essential for ttc:cool:
