Trying for a Baby Part 7

skintchick, my finger is ready and waiting for your SS:D
Ooer!
I had a rough day on Friday. My friend came round and while our DDs were playing suddenly blurted out 'I'm pregnant'. It was such a shock, no buiild-up or anything, that i burst into tears. She knows my history, hence wanting to tell me, but she did it so BADLY. She's the last of our mummy group to get PG/give birth to her second, so now I feel really left out and like they are all leaving me behind.
Because I was so upset by it, literally devastated, a sobbing mess on the sofa after she left, I forgot I was supposed to go out with a friend and she texted, so I phoned to apologise and explain, and she just let rip, effing and blinding at me, she called DD 'your !!!!ing child' and it was just awful. We've not spoken since, I know I forgot but she was so out of order.
THen I went to a spa hotel with my other mate for the weekend, ti was lovely, nice treatments, lovely wine, full night's sleep (!), and then shopping today at one of those discount villages, got a few dresses.
Sadly I lost the bracelet that my (shouty) friend (ex-friend?) gave me for my birthday only on monday, and have also discovered DD has taken my card with my self-assessment (tax) login on so I will now get a £100 fine
So it's been a mixed weekend. Was also first time I've ever left DD overnight so it was quite odd. She missed me but not as much as I'd have liked, Still wanted Daddy to put her to bed.
Hugs for all who need them, QQ, Flee, Ikkle (and very excited for you Ikkle as well), and others.
Welcome to the new lady, sorry have forgotten your name in all the reading.

Or you could save your pee and test later in the day? I have read of someone who took their sample to the shop, bought the test and then tested. I assume this was in the loo or somewhere. Would be terrible if it was mid store and she then just took the packaging to the till to pay for it.:cool: DFW Nerd Club member 023...DFD 9.2.2007 :cool::heartpuls married 21 6 08 :A Angel babies' birth dates 3.10.08 * 4.3.11 * 11.11.11 * 17.3.12 * 2.7.12 :heart2: My live baby's birth date 22 7 09 :heart2: I'm due another baby at the end of July 2014! :j

How strange. The other day I remember we were posting on here about people posting their ttc status on facebook and how sort of odd that was. I posted about someone I know, who used to put things like 'ttc month no.1!' etc. And how she had 1 baby, and then later on had twins. And how she must have thought ttc was very easy because each time after about 3 months she got pg.
Well, shes now just posted on another thread about how the first baby actually took 2 years and in the end taking fertility drugs ( I guess maybe clomid or something?), and they were on a waiting list for IUI when it happened. And used the same drugs to get pg with the twins.
So not really sure what all those statuses were about before now, but really does show you never really know what goes on with other people!
I think even if she hadnt posted the ttc statuses, I would have been guilty for assuming she was mid/late twenties and had 3 kids so must have had it easy!0 -
Welcome Aida!
Ikkle - I hope you get to tell MIL your BFP news. No wonder you're so mixed up/upset etcYou know where we all are.
Forgotten anything else, but have been reading up. Was getting fed up posting on and on about my continual bleeding, so been busying myself with other things. Got GP appt for Tues arvo when I'll discuss it with him etc but :shhh: she might be on the way out now, but :shhh: shhhh she might hear you! :shhh: Got first appt with new dentist tomorrow too, so hopefully I'll be able to get these temporary fillings replaced ASAP and start chewing on both sides of my mouth soon! Also hoping that the lockdown at MIL's hospital gets lifted (they've banned visiting across the whole hospital cos of an outbreak of suspected Norovirus!:shocked:) so we can a) visit b) get her transferred to a rehabilitation centre ASAP before she catches anything else!

Wow, that was epic but I am now caught up on everything! I apologise in advance to anyones news that I missed but I had to go back to the 5th of Jan and that's a lot of posts!
First a big huge massive congratulations to all those who have their BFP's this month (I think it was 11 and Ikkle's tlp) Ikkle - I hope yours becomes a BFP too. I am so sorry to hear about your MIL I hope things go as well as can be for you all. xxx
I am so pleased as well for those BFP's that have come after a particularly hard and emotional journey for some of you.
Massive hugs to those that need them and whose loved ones are suffering.
Welcome to all the newbies, hope your stay is short and sweet.
Now for me, no BFP to add to the list sadly I am now CD12 I reckon (as of the 30/01). It's very strange this TTC journey. I have two children who are 7 and 9 this year who were both surprises. I had them young (18 and 20). In fact with my second I didn't find out I was pregnant until 14 weeks gone and had been taking my pill every day all that time. So although this will be my third I have never actively TTC before. Both my babies were conceived in June and in my head that's when I think I will conceive again. I hope it is before then though!
My brother and wife have begun their adoption journey (few attempts at IUI with a donor egg have failed) so I am crossing everything I have. My best friend in the whole world who has been TTC her first for 3 years has finally been given the go ahead to TTC after 4 miscarriages. Some tests carried out has led to her being prescribed medication that will hopefully enable her to carry full term (she has never got past 10 weeks).
That's pretty much it for me. xxxPay Debt by Xmas 16 - 0/12000

Morning Ladies,
Weekend is trully over and we are having a cold week I guess!
Hugs for everyone who needs it!
CD11 and CBFM still comes up as highly fertile. It's been 5 days so should peak soon, shouldn't it? We haven't bd much this weekend, managed only once, I was still bleeding on Saturday. The bleeding stopped by Sunday morning, this was a mega-long period. I will make sure we BD tonight as OH is having his op tmrw and I don't think we will do much after. We are out for this month, I guess.
Have a good day Everyone!0 -
morning all
just popping in to send hugs to all that need them (( ))
Ikkle - so sorry to hear about your MIL, sounds like she's getting the best care to make the last days easier though, hope you can tell her about a BFP, and that it gives you both some comfort to have a happy event to look forward to this year.
BZ - fingers crossed AF's coming to an end, it must be pretty draining for you.
5dpo here, and my temp was very low this morning. have been googling implantation dip ever since I got to work, must go and do something useful :rotfl:Little monkey born November 2012:jFroglet due March 20160 -
Welcome Aida :wave:
Hope you're feeling better Minted, I had that bug just before christmas and it was awful!
Sorry to hear about your Grandma Definitely Blonde
Hugs for CD1 TeamLowe, but nice PMA
Big hugs to Ikkle, so sorry about your MIL, it'd be lovely if you could tell her that she's got a grandchild on the way. Hope that TLP does turn into a BFP!
Sorry about the shouty friend Skintchick, it does sound like she's out of order. Maybe she's going through some rubbish herself right now and you were caught up in the emotional backlash?
Hope your OH's op goes well Kavics
Nothing to report here, just the 2ww and wondering if I did actually OV and really hoping that this cycle will be shorter than 60 days! I went to the Museum of Childhood in London yesterday and there were loads of adorable kids there, including a brand new baby which turned me to mush... I want one!Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!Goal Weight 140lb Starting Weight: 160lb Current Weight 145lb0 -
Morning all, hope monday's treating you well so far.
ikkle - massive hugs. I so, so hope your tlp turns into a bfp, and then a happy and healthy pg. I think I'm wishing it more for you than for me this month!! How daft is that?? It's not like we can't both have one!
Still not sure whether I've ov'd or not. There was a bit of what I thought was EWCM on thursday, but not much. We BD every other day last week, so I'll try to continue with that and hopefully we will catch it - whenever it is! I'm on CD25, and my cycles are usually somewhere between 34 and 49 days, so that doesn't help narrow it down much.
I'm now getting worried that every other day isn't enough but I just don't think we can manage anymore than that. I'm fine during the moment itself, but can end up with really bad pain afterwards (from endo). Not sure I can face that everyday tbh.0 -
Hi guys, hope your all well. Welcome to the group Aida.
MIL is still deteriorating, she now has a hospital bed at home and is on a syringe driver so is on the way out.Thank you guys for thinking of us all, I've been in a trance like state for a week now as it doesn't seem real but my OH has now opened up and come to terms with what is happening as much as he can at this point.
in other news i am 13dpo and may have got a ttlp this mornin on an IC. Bit confused and scared and also disbelieving. Will see what happens in next few days though.
Wow mixed emotions for you my dear. Sending HUGE HUGE Hugs .
Fingers crossed that your tlp turns into a BFP .If you can think it........it will happen0
