Ohhh, just googled the chocolates and Thorntons does alphabet truffles. Now I just need to know what to write! Any ideas? 22 letters are available though I don't need to use all.
How about something simple: You're going to be a daddy! Or can you write it in his language to make it extra special?!If they do numbers as well as letters you could add your due date

Good ideas, thank you. I will figure it tonight and make an order, the next 2 weeks will pass quickly. Have a good day everyone, work is now busy so I'll be offline for a while.0

Hello daddy!
OK, so I'm not imaginative:p
What do you mean feel a bit aneamic? Do you mean like feel faint?
I had a million symptons...thought I was mental at one point just cos I felt ill ALL the time.....
I shouldn't encourage googling of medical conditions but Have a look at the B12 deficiency symptoms and see if they fit in with how you feel....it's not something doctors test for in a hurry.........and in actual fact I had the problem years ago and they still didn't recognise it had come back.....stupid doctors......my levels were lower than they had ever been and i'd been going back and forth to the doctors for 3 years before I asked them to test it again.....I wrote all my symptoms down and handed them over to a new doctor!0 -
LOVE some of these ideas for telling OH - the card is impressive if you could wait that long for it to arrive. Chocolates would be bad for me if I was pg cos I'd think sod the WW - I can EAT for 9 months!!0

Congratulations Kavics & Ilovecushions :j:j
Yayyy for all the BFP's we're having now. It started off so slow in March and we're on a right roll now.
Keep forgetting to say good luck with the IVF QQ.
I've just been to the loo and am spottingAm 9DPO so I suppose it could be an implantation bleed (temp is still nice n high) but am also having a few cramps and lets face it - none of us want to be seeing blood down there do we. BFN this morning, altho I appreciate its a little too early to be testing. Its all so exciting, until something happens, and then its not so exciting, and then it sucks.
On the plus side, at least I made up with DH last night after being a crabby mare for a couple of days so I will get a nice big cuddle from him tonight. :AMarried my lobster in July 2011
TTC # 2 since Oct 2011 - good things come to those who wait
:dance: 2013 is going to be our lucky year :dance:0 -
COMP, do you think you have ov'd?
Probably notAlthough this is my first cycle where I'm actually looking for it, so I may have missed it! No EWCM but also no spotting - I had quite heavy spotting last week but that stopped on Saturday. Temperature also doesn't seem to have elevated much. Must say we're not 'trying' particularly hard this cycle because I suspected it'd be a long cycle and it'd be difficult with dates etc. Also, implanon makes implantation difficult.
Do you suspect otherwise?
Fingers crossed for your IVF cycle.
ETA - Congratulations also to the BFPs I've missed! I'm keeping quiet on the thread until I know what my cycles are doing - not me being rude!Don't worry about typing out my username - Call me COMP(Unless you know my real name - in which case, feel free to use that just to confuse people!)0 -
Of the three, I've only taken Vit Bs. Vit Bs work better together so it's worth getting B complex rather than just the B6. 100mg is the usual dose, but if you think you may have overactive thyroids (are you very thin?), then don't take them:cool:
Haha, no, I'm not very thin. I'm not even just thin. So I should be OK
Right, I'll go and have a look at B complex now as well. This is getting very complicated...
How did your IVF appointment go? Was it yesterday or today? *losing track of the days*0 -

I'll have to have blood tests every other day from CD8, so a bit of rest for now:o
I'm one of those people where no-one can see my vein, so I have to drink like a fish right before the test, and empty my bladder right after in time for the internal scans (about an hour later):oilovecushions wrote: »Have a look at the B12 deficiency symptoms and see if they fit in with how you feel....0 -

Probably not, but it is part of the standard bloods work-up for fertility issues. I know lots of you on this thread won't have had any investigative testing, but some of you might. If you've been to the quack's because you're failing to get pregnant and you're sent for blood tests, your B12 levels will be checked.
I have low B12 (without symptoms). It's not the cause of my fertility problems though.

Congratulations for the BFPs.
CBFM high for me this morning, but I got a smiley on my OPK this afternoon so I am hoping for a peak tomorrow and to ovulate tomorrow or Thursday, which would be CD13 or 14 so bang on perfect. I popped in to my chinese medicine place today to order some more herbs and the doctor there thought my pulse was stronger and that this was a good sign that my body was repairing itself. Have decided that I am only going to temp until I get my crosshairs this month to try to stop myself obsessing too much (ha!).
Just need to work out the post ovulation part of my month's plan this month. I have to confess its been more aspirational than followed to the letter so far, but I have tried to do some of it, and if BFN again this month at least I have it all worked out to implement more rigorously next month.0
