Trying for a Baby Part 7

abis21

Lilymay - Whats it like seeing yr ex on the telly??

Miss Maid - I have to make notes to keep up with everyone now I am standing in for QQ. I am useless with names usually so I'd get everyones details completely wrong without the notes :rotfl: Good work with the BDing Hope you catch the eggy :cool:

Tealover - for CD1. Fab PMA list tho Your eggs will be fabulous dahr-ling with all them little helpers Hope you get your FS appt ok

Birdie - Hope your blood test went ok. Do you have to wait a little while for the results? Hope you managed to remember your questions for the nurse. I have to write everything like that down these days cos otherwise I'm useless

Elsie - I was like you when I got the first elusive temp rise - and then terrified it would go back down again the next day. I think I actually did a little dance when I got my temp rise - and when FF put my cross hairs on I was literally bursting to tell everyone I had just ovulated :rotfl::rotfl: Cos like people so needed to know?!

Whats everyones weekend plans then?

I'm so excited to go watch DD tonight in her dance show :j:j

The rest of the weekend will be mostly spent washing, ironing and general houseworking tho - so nowhere near as interesting. Altho we are going on holiday on monday, so I am in a generally very good mood, lol!!

As for the letter, I do think they could have worded it a little more sensitively. If I had still been very upset, I just think it would have made me loads worse. Thanks for the kind words tealover. On the whole I'm doing ok I think. I'm an optomistic, half full kind of gal. But when I do have a down day I do tend to have a >really< down day which then becomes harder to snap out of. I tend to go v quiet when I am having a bad time, cos I don't have much nice to say if you get me. So you probably haven't seen many 'down' posts from me. That, combined with having quite a long 'good' spell too which always helps.

I still have to do the fortnightly tests to make sure I stay within normal, only this morning I forgot to pee in a jug. So then next time I went to the loo, I remembered to pee in the jug, but then forgot to transfer it to the tube cos that was downstairs. So I will have a jug of pee waiting for me in the bathroom when I get home :rotfl:Its amazing how quickly I am getting out of the habit now I am 'normal'. Its obviously not on my mind as much now :T

My blood test was fine, once she found a vein! Completely forgot to ask any questions as there was a trainee doctor in there and she must have been younger than me so I got all flustered then clammed up! Meant to ask if she could add on the paperwork to test for rubella immunity at the same time as everything else but forgot that too! Ooops! I swear I'm going to have to start carrying around letters with everything I want to say written on them so I can just hand them over without talking!

ETA: I get the results next week, have to call on Thursday so fingers crossed!

Got a busy day tomorrow, have to meet our friends in our neighbouring town at 10.30 so OH can try his suit on for their wedding next week. He's not happy about what they're making him wear, from what I understand there's a lot of silver and fuscia going on! Not exactly OH's colours! :rotfl: Bit of a wander round the shops, lunch somewhere then back to our friends' and in the evening we're all off to Bierkeller, should be interesting! I like a beer, but I'm not sure if I can manage drinking huge steins of German beer all night! :eek: Needless to say we've got no plans for Sunday as I think we may be recovering!

Abis - So glad you are feeling good. Hospital letters can be very robotic and insensitive. Glad it didn't upset you too much

As for my ex - It's a tricky one with him with very mixed emotions. He was a very, very nasty individual but I was a glutton for punishment and it didn't matter what he did I always let him back (in my knickers). It didn't help that he was incredibly attractive - tall, athletic, handsome, I could go on.... But that's always the way isn't it? I saw him when I was about 5 months pregnant with DS and he apologised for everything and hurting me so much. I remember telling him not to flatter himself because much worse things had happened to me since (DD etc). Anyway, I am well rid, especially with him being 6"7 and me 5"2 we probably looked very stupid together! Lol
I tell you what though - it's so strange seeing all his team-mates on TV being all serious.... I remember them wandering around their flat with not a lot on, eating lots of grilled chicken playing on Xbox's and Wii's. Very odd.

Glad your bloods were fine Birdie. I totally know what you mean about forgetting important things in the heat of the moment.

Can anyone give me an idea of what my appointment with the FS will consist of on Tuesday? I'm quite nervous :S

Tea - Have you managed to get an appointment okay?

TeamLowe

got all panicked when i entered my temp this morning as i'd not done it for a few days and it'd gone up by .2 but it's still below my usual coverline so hopefully FF won't mistake it Ov. i'm getting some EWCM but also some snotty stuff and this is going to sound awful but i'm not sure if we BDed last night. i'll make sure i'm awake for it tonight thought
feel so much more relaxed about it all at the minute, even though/especially cos i feel like i'm just someone who isn't going to get pregnant, feels like getting pregnant is something that happens to other people now, like winning the lottery
also, does anyone else get annoyed with how posters in other threads make having babies look? just casually mentioning being pregnant etc. maybe it's just bitter me coming out again lol

Sigh... why is it when I very slightly start to let myself believe that suddenly I get a proper thump of period pain.. and a drop of blood. Stopped now, but we know that pre-AF spotting is almost always AF...

Not calling CD1 just yet, but not looking good.

Big hugs time2deal have a biscuit, that always helps me

Teamlowe I know how you feel I just think getting pregnant doesn't mean having a baby for me, I'm really jealous when people get pregnant and stay pregnant.

I had no pma yesterday but now its cd2 I feel a bit better so here we go:
*me and oh are together and healthy and happy
*I save more money every month so I'll be able to take some proper time off when I get my forever baby.
*a summer baby would be lovely and very mse as not so many wooly jumpers, pram suits that they grow out of in 2seconds and all the new baby washing can dry in the sunshine
*its the weekend now and I can go in the Jacuzzi at the gym tonight and maybe have a wee tipple tomorrow

Elsie yay for your temp rise
Birdie I hope your results come quickly for you, sometimes the wondering is the worst bit
Lily, hugs for a horrid ex, glad you're happier now
Abis thanks so much for the lists and updates, have a lovely lovely holiday

It's now two weeks since my erpc and hpt is still positive. oh well I think it's at least beginning to become feint.

After all 24 cycles wishing for a bfp, now I can't wait for only one line!!

And please can I predict 8 bfps for aug? I know I won't be one of them but fingers still crossed for everyone else! X

Hugs Marie did the hospital ask you to keep testing? If not maybe it would be better to wait a couple of weeks rather than upsetting yourself? Its really hard as its not something you can control. I'm a big believer in good things happening to those who wait. Hopefully we will both be joining the *third times the charm* graduates soon

Birdie - I'm 30 and have a terrible memory. I really do have to write down the most stupid of things now to remember them. And then rather stupidly, I remember useless bits of information instead of what I went to tescos for etc!! Goodness knows what I will be like when I'm older!! Try to write down any questions when you ring up for your results, or at least make sure you ring them back if you do have any questions. They don't mind.

The bierkeller sounds good. We went to the german markets at christmas in Leeds before and there was something similar there. It was great! I mainly stuck to mulled wine tho, as they had lots of different flavours and I had to test them all twice to double check which one I liked best They had some traditional music and got everyone up dancing and banging things on tables - loads of fun :beer:

Lilymay - I guess that would be really wierd seeing him and his team-mates on telly. Glad you have a lovely DH now I don't know what will happen at yr FS appt tho - sorry. Do they do bloods and things? And a detailed history?? I think that not much 'happens' at this stage, its just an initial fact finding kind of chat? You will be fine tho. I think you will need DH there to answer any medical questions from his side of the family. Good luck with it.

Teamlowe - Glad you are feeling more relaxed about everything. I am too much of an optimist tho, as I think I will not only get pregnant but win tonights euromillions as well :rotfl::rotfl: Some people do just find it easy to have babies tho. Its not their fault, they're just lucky. I fell straight away with DD and had the easiest pregnancy and mostly easy labour too. I kind of thought it would just happen the same way again to be honest It never really crossed my mind that it might take a long time or go wrong. Obviously, like, I said to people that it might take a long time. But in the back of my mind I was quite convinced it would be first time and no problems again

Hugs time2deal. I was wondering if you would have tested again or not. Hope its not the witch :A

Yayyy for finding some PMA lemonmelon. I would prefer a summer baby too :cool: DD was born in may and I would have been due at the beginning of December. Hope you enjoy the jacuzzi

Marie - I know it sucks waiting to be 'not-pregnant' when all you want to be in the world is pregnant :( Its good news that its getting lighter the line tho. You will get your forever baby soon :A I keep repeating over and over, good things come to those who wait :cool:

I'm so blummin annoyed with my stupid body!!! This might be TMI :rotfl:but for some reason the last few days I have been SUPER h*rny!!! This is not like me at all - I obviously do get like that every now and again but I have not felt quite this bad since I was about 21!!! And that was a long time ago!! I am obsessed!!! (and I havent even been reading 50 shades :rotfl:)

The only thing is, is that because of the wedding and the noristherone (or however you spell it), we have decided to take precautions this month!! :mad:
It's blummin well s*ds law isn't it. I dont want to risk it and hope that I may conceive this month because knowing my luck AF will arrive just as I'm about to say my vows!!!!

Someone up there is having a laugh with me surely!!!! :rotfl:
