Trying for a Baby Part 7

mrshappy

Hugs BZ, as always Nicki has managed to post nice and clearly what would sound like mad ramblings from me! I know what you mean-I also feel the need to take a step back, although I lurk several times most days, I feel that I have nothing constructive to say at the moment due to RL.
I haven't taken a trip over to the 12 months + board yet as it's only been 11 months for us!
Take care of yourself, and remember that we are all here for you xx

BZ - I know you are going through lots in real life and that you are particularly feeling the stress of ttc at the moment so can understand why you might want to take a step back. I do often wonder how you are getting on when you don't post and will miss you if you stop posting. Huge hugs and remember you are always welcome to post on here even if to rant about non ttc stuff.

Good morning everyone:wave:

Definitely Blonde, when is AF due?

QQ based on the fact that this should be the short month for me then AF should be due between today and Thursday.

Hugs for CD1 Lulu75

Hugs bigzippy, you were one of the first to welcome me to the thread and I will miss you but you must do what is right for you.

I had a little accident in my car today (not my fault and everyone was ok which is the main thing), I joked to my OH I know I wanted a little bump but that really wasn’t what I meant :rotfl:

BigZee I will miss you hun, but I totally get where you are coming from too. Big hugs.

I am CD9 but we didn't SMEP last night as we were too tired so will try and do it tonight. But this would be a December baby so I'm ambivalent about it all right now anyway. (for peeps who don't know me that well, it's cos of PND risk with my history of depression and family history of PND).

PS what does everyone plan to do with their +ve HPTs?? Will the digi ones keep the message forever or does it fade away??

I keep mine, but my tip is to write the date on them. I have a collection from last year but I don't know which ones belong with which baby (miscarriages) because I didn;t date them. I found one in the wardrobe the other day!! :rotfl:

I've spent the weekend doing the garden with Oh and DD, and feel ready for summer now! We have also booked our holiday - two weeks in Menorca in September which should be nice, we have a villa with a pool, and I also had DD's pre-school place confirmed!! :eek: She will start October 1 after we get back. Not sure how I feel about it, as she's never been away from me, but I can always pull her out if she hates it.

Congrats to the BFPs and hugs to all who need them.

Delurks to say bigzippy!! You can always come & hide with me xx

Don't know whether I've ov'd or not or whether I should be on the list but I'm 99% sure I'm out for a month or two. Can't bonk cause I've broken a rib with the coughing. Xxx

Good luck guys.

SD - hugs for broken rib,sounds painful

AFM - cd11 and peak on cbfm, been at parents from fri night until Sunday evening so don't know if this is first peak or second as didn't bring cbfm with me but I know it was low Friday morning so hoping it is a first peak. I did have ewcm and ov pains yesterday and we bd last night and will again today and tomorrow at least so hopefully we will catch the egg.

I'll miss you BZ

If my cycle is anything like the last one then AF is due tomorrow. Was just thinking last night that if I'm not PG this time then I'm going to start temping and will be giving OH a stern talking to about preserving his energy at certain times of the month for BDing... then I went to the loo and noticed some spotting I don't normally spot before AF, she just arrives with no warning so I'm a bit confused about that but sad that it looks like she's on her way I was expecting heavier spotting overnight but there was nothing when I woke up, will just have to wait and see I suppose

I had laser eye surgery last Wednesday and my eyes were too sore to read until yesterday and I now can't remember what I wanted to say to people, but hugs for the ladies with AF (and broken ribs!!) and congratulations to the BFPs! :j

Hi, does being woken up by your alarm clock (at "normal waking time") affect your BBT? I should have ovulated last Wednesday according to my CBFM.

Normally I wake up 5 - 10 minutes before my alarm clock naturally but today I was sleeping so deeply until the alarm jolted me up.

I've told him that I hadn't ov'd when we first thought, and that he should prepare himself that our chances are pretty non-existant this cycle, which he said he knows. I don't temp, I've no OPKs, I can't use CBFM til the next cycle, and I've not been checking CM etc much either, only when it's been glaringly obvious EW like the other day. I think if I tell him we're not trying for a couple of months it'll stress him out more, because he wants it soooo much, and I think we're both really aware that we want to be able to tell MIL we're pg before she's not here anymore In my head there's no chance of getting pg before getting clomid, and that won't happen before at least June, but, it doesn't stop you wanting to "cover your bases", does it? :cool:

How are you doing colli? I still think of you even though you don't post much

It's so hard isn't it. There isn't much else I can say, it's miserable, it hurts and it's not fair . I understand exactly why you've decided to step back from this thread as I've done the same as it's not the right place for me. Keep plodding on, it's a long road but we're not finished yet xxxx

big hugs BigZ, we'll keep thinking of you. i'm not as far along with this journey as you but i think i understand how you feel. i hope the break brings you what you need, if only change to concentrate fully on MIL.
everytime i see a BFP i have to check the first page to see how long that person's been trying to sort of make it ok. that really isn't healthy
we're coming up to my wedding anniversary and soon will be the time when i found out about my Sophie. after that day, i never thought a year later i'd be so far away from having a baby. life sucks

that's my reason for taking a step back, sick of feeling like my whole life is outside my control, sick of counting every day and feeling like i have to live up to some ideal of where i should be, good length period, ewcm before ovulation, ovulation, then counting the DPOs, possible implantation, before wouldn't you know it, CD1 again. but omg not too soon cos then luteal phase defect.
i want to enjoy my marriage and my husband, save up and buy a house. i'm beginning to believe more and more that children come when they're ready, not when you are

course, that hasn't stopped me symptom spotting and checking my cervix every six seconds. it's low and hard today so that should mean period soon, which takes me to my first month of temping i have a BBT and a FF account so i'll try and share it with you lot when i figure out how x x
