Trying for a Baby Part 7

lilymay1

Morning all,

Back in work today and have just been told that my bosses 18yr old son died in a motorbike accident 2 days ago. It's so aquward here

Bring on the August bfp count ladies. New month, new number and mine will be 9 please Abis

Loads of ewcm today but still a low on my monitor CD15 so early ov is not looking good. You ladies with short cycles who ov early are very fortunate!

How is everyone else feeling. Horrible for you to be back here Marie, but welcoming you with open arms my lovely. Let's hope you are gone again in a flash. Abis - BRILLIANT news from your molar nurse!! Have you and OH made a plan yet?

Tink - I don't understand what your GP is saying? She'll give you blood tests but nothing else? I don't get it? What if there is a problem?!

lily - how awful. Is that your horrible boss? Not that I'd wish that on anyone of course! Poor man x.
abis - thanks again for keeping us in line while QQ is having a well-deserved break. Do you do wagging fingers too??
mrsj28 -I know what you mean! I'm strangely proud of myself for managing to DTD last night too. Like non-ov sex is something to be really proud of lol. How funny is that?
maire - so sorry to see you back here under these circumstances. Big hugs xx.
amyloofoo - best of luck with the NTNP approach, hope it works for you v soon!
teamlowe - I've always wondered about broodiness levels when you have/don't have children too. I just want us to be a family so much, I don't think I've even thought about having more than one (it's been 3 years so far and not even a sniff of a BFP so more than one is a bit much to hope for lol).
birdie - fingers crossed the bloating isn't a sign of AF this time.
lemonmelon - hope the tummy's feeling better.
tinkwings - good news about the blood tests. It sounds like the GP listened to you at least, sometimes I think that helps as much as actually doing something, iyswim.

Am actually wanting AF to turn up this time so I can get started with clomid. Am 2 weeks into metformin and no side effects from that so far (unless the huge spot is something do with it!!) Not looking forward to the hassle of follicle tracking though as it's a nightmare trying to get through to the hospital on the phone but hopefully I won't have to do it very often. The thought of 2-3 scans every month is logistically awful - the hospital's 30 mins away and you need to allow at least 90 mins to park. Work are not going to like this!

Morning ladies :-)

Welcome amyloofoo, good luck!

Lemon melon, hope your tummy feels better soon. Eat some ginger biscuits to try and calm it down.

Hi Marie do sorry to hear about your loss *bug hugs*

So didn't mange to bd last night and now won't see OH until Friday!! I was feeling rather queasy and have real heavy and painful b**bs.

Today's no better either still feeling queasy :-(

tinkwings glad they're doing something and at least then you'll know where you stand- if it's just a matter of time or you need more investigations yourself.
can i be cheeky and ask how strong your broodiness is in comparison to trying for your first/second? Mine's ridiculous but i always thought it was because i have no children right now, is it less because you have some satisfaction through your exisiting lovely children or more because you know what you're missing out on?

I think more because I know what they have to give & what I am missing out on I had to wait 13 years & 4 days between dd1 & dd2 (due to ex husband having a versectomy when dd1 was 1 month old as he never wanted kids) It took me a long time to trust & find a new man that I could dream to hope of having another baby with.

Now that I have DD2 she has gone someway to making me feel complete if that makes any sense at all.

Having Lost 2 babies :A & been given the honour of having two babies I still have a gap for another.....:o:o:o:o

Does that make any sense ????..................


Goes off to make a cuppa as totally going off & spouting!!!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hi all,

Congrats on the BD last night MrsJ! It is a sad but true state of affairs that sex can be hard to arrange. We are having a problem at the moment that DH is working til midnight, and then comes homes all hyped up so can't sleep (he is working at an event going on that you may have noticed. ). I get up at 6.30am, so we are not physically sleeping at the same time so no chance of non BD sex.

You may remember this was a major issue a few months back, so I might mention it this weekend, before it can escalate. So I don't get blamed for only wanting sex when ov'ing!

Anyway, BFN this morning again. boo...

Still AF symptoms, and I think I am due on Friday. Still hope, but nothing is different - normal symptoms (headaches, cramps, mild nausea, sensitive b00bs) which means I am very focussed on assessing if each symptom is slightly different to last month! I think the first few months I really thought they were symptoms, but now I am so aware of every twinge, I know my body a lot better.

Hope everyone is having a good day!

I will go optimistic again this month, and say 9 BFPs.

Morning ladies

Sorry ive not been around my depression kicked in again yesterday and i even told my oh last night that without a baby what do i bring to the table. Nothing and that it would be better if i ended it as no one would miss me.

Im trying to relax but its so difficult as oh knows how to wind me up sometimes but mostly its seeing the pregnant women and peoplle with 2 or more and are heavily pregnant. So i came to the decision last night that after this cycle thsts it i give in as i see no point in kidding myself.

To top it all off my docs sent a letter this morning asking when hes going for his sa so we get referred so i think that throws out his waiting till october for everything.

Last night we bd i know im only at cd6 but it was nice ok so there was no kissing or cuddling through it but for once he played me with me. Normallly i do all the work so it felt like we were more relaxed through it but im not looking at it like that.

I think the reason i was so down yesterday was because i saw a guy who i saw when oh n i had our yr apart. Right after the rape and i thought i loved him. This guy used me for sex sorry tmi and nothing else but i loved him. Now when he sees me in the street he doesnt even say hi. Im good enough for his c***k but not good enough to be an aquaintence. So that brought me down first yesterday then everything else piled on top.

Congrats to the bfps and sorry to the losses ur time will be soon

Hugs for cd1s

Sorry my epilepsy ruins my memory short term so not too good at remembering all the names

Being sick drink peppermint tea it works a treat

Opks start today so fingers crossed otherwise there not for me and something else i don't work with

Speaking of queue jumping just found out my best friend is pregnant - just had a long chat with her and I knew more about what to do next and what the symptoms felt like than she did (from googling for the last 6 months lol)...

She wasn't even sure her test was positive, but her pic is a def BFP.

I thought I would feel really bad when someone close to me got pregnant but I am really happy for her. Only now I got off the phone feeling a slight twinge of sadness but then i always feel that when I think about our ttc journey these days anyway, esp on CD1/2.

Still, Im trying to think about other people who have been trying for longer and going through fertility treatment, miscarriages etc, im grateful that we havent gone through that, yet!

I'll guess 8 BFPs this month. I think September will be the bumper month so holding out my big guess for then!

I feel people's pain for simply not having the time to BD, I'd love to do it every 2-3 days but it just does not happen that way! Would be so much simpler if OH came home from work earlier, I wonder if they'll change his shifts if I explain that I need him at home and well rested every other night so we can make a baby?!

We were having this conversation last night :rotfl:.
OH worked over 14 hours again yesterday. He works for his best mate and I've told him I'll be having a word with boss/mate if he doesn't cut the overtime down. I'm guessing he doesn't want everyone knowing what I need him home early for .
