Trying for a Baby Part 7

Primmer

MrsHappy - fingers crossed for your dh's SA too, really hope that this one is a good one.

Don't think my DH had any concerns over the result and that worries me, he seems to think that as he had a dd albeit that was over 21 years ago that he is fine. But he is a keen cyclist and goes for miles on his mountain bike at least once a week and has done for about 15 years and that must have had an effect.

TeamLowe - huge hugs, life really seems unfair at times and it is painful to see others around us pregnant particularly when we just want a baby of our own. We just have to keep believing that we will be great mums and our turn will come (hopefully sooner rather than later!). Also hugs for anxiety about blood results which is completely understandable.

Morning ladies

I've developed some spots on my chin, normal pre-AF symptom for me 9dpo and looking back at my charts, I've had a 10 or 11 day LP with spotting on the last day in each cycle so far, so am on constant knicker-watch! :rotfl:
Temp still up though, so fingers crossed i'm not out yet :cool:

QQ, I'll post a piccy of my knitting when I've finished it, I didn't get a chance to do any last night as we had a friend over for dinner, so will have to knit like a fiend tonight to get it finished, washed and dried before 10am tomorrow when we have to leave to go to my sisters! I know it won't really take me very long, but I hate picking up the stitches to knit the borders, so I always put it off to the last minute!

I've also knitted them a papoose/snuggle blanket, which I love (I'd like a grownup sized one!), and got a Cordy Roy Giraffe. I always buy my nieces/nephews a Jellycat toy, as they're suitable from birth and so funky.

Me too! Picking up is the worst part... ok second worst, after sewing up

I was sewing the border on a baby blanket the other day and I couldn't stop thinking that this one could be for our baby. It feels like I've clothed everyone else's little bundle, where is mine???

We didn't manage to DTD last night, OH was sleeping by 9 and I didn't want to wake him as he drives 60 miles to work and I don't want him sleepy behind the wheel. Anyway, I think I had a positive OPK yesterday afternoon and I've also got one this morning, am I too late if we BD tonight? I still have some ewcm but not as much as the previous two days.

:j:j:j:j:j Congratulation Moneypuddle. We want details about how you told your OH, if you don't mind .

Well, I just had a feeling that I was pregnant yesterday morning (period was due but wasn’t there at 9am as usual!). I had achey boobs, a small nose bleed (which I have never had before except once mid Jan, which I think now is when I conceived) and some period pain like cramps. I know I was pregnant – can’t explain it! So at lunch time I shot into mothercare and bought a little white newborn vest that says “mummy and daddy love me so much” and into Boots and bought a ClearBlue Digital pregnancy test, went back to work and in the loos (classy I know but I couldn’t wait!) took the test and it came up as pregnant immediately then 2-3 weeks a few minutes later J

That was at 1pm, and I really wanted to tell OH but knew it was nicer face to face, so had to wait until 615pm. Sitting at my desk all afternoon was almost impossible. Genuinely the LONGEST afternoon of my life! Once all my colleagues had left, I got a little gift bag, put tissue paper in the bottom, then my positive test then the vest on top, then some more tissue paper on top of that so they were both hidden, and then gave him it after work once we’d arrived home. He was seriously so excited! He’s been a bit down the last few days for a few reasons and it put such a smile on his face. We’re not surprised because we’ve obviously been trying but I don’t think either of us expected it first month J. He did the whole look at the vest, look at me, look at the test, look at me, and stuttered a bit saying “Are you… uhhh … are you? Are we having a baby” then gave me the biggest grin and hug. Best day ever seriously. He couldn’t do enough last night for me either!

Wishing you all lots of luck in conceiving as quickly as possible x

Congratulations Moneypuddle, great news!!!

Still high on CBFM, it's 9 days in a row. Is that normal? Not sure what to make of it. OH is extremely grumpy, everything was wrong last night so no BD at all. Of course it's all my fault so he is still in a faul mood today. he thinks that he might have caught some bacteria at the hospital cause the tip of his nose is extremely painful. I was a bad girl because I didn't spend my whole evening in front of the laptop googling his symptomps, i just said that he had to go to gp if he thought something was wrong. I'm not a dr, I can't give advice. So he is now at gp, thanks God for that.

I hope he won't be so moody tonight, I'm dead tired, I have done 42 hours so far and still 8 to go till 6 o'clock.

Rant over. Weekend is nearly here!!!

This was my first month of using CBFM and I had 8 in a row before a high. Then when I was convinced I wasn't going to get a peak I got one that day.

Congrats Moneypuddle - what a lovely way to tell him!

Primmer and Mrs Happy - hope there is good news for you both on the SA front.

Littlemoog - fingers crossed your not out this month

It is nicer face to face, and yours is such a cute story. I told my husband by text
