Trying for a Baby Part 7

Flee_2

Hello.

I am planning on taking a full year out of work when I finally have a baby, which will work good for me and for my work.
It will be better mainly because of the childcare costs. Though I do have a brilliant childminder for my other kids and she will be used for the baby (if I conceive lol).

Yes lol. EW CM = Have sex! :rotfl:Lots and lots of sex. Means ovulation is imminent.

We had our first rumpy pumpy last night on cd 10 more again tomorrow and then every day until temp rise. Phew knackered just thinking about it!
It wasn't good sex lol. But it was functional. I was tierd and a bit sore and my pre seed hasn't come yet. But he still wanted to ahem "finish me off" so I figured i'll let him as it means longer lying there with the spermies swimming up lol.:D

Finishing off is a good thing though, especially after DH or simultaneously. At point of O the cervix dips into the pool of sperm, then raises up again causing a suction effect which vacuums the little blighters up closer to where they need to be! Much more effective than putting your legs up and relying on gravity, so be thankful for considerate hubbies.

When we're back in action I'm going to just try functional BD with preseed for the first cycle.

TMI alert - I read that saliva kills off sperm so no oral. Just going to get him to do the whole wham bam thank you mam and then I'll finish off after. I now have visions of my cervix acting as a Henry Hoover thanks to Nicki

Oh I love this :rotfl::T:rotfl: Nicely done! Thank you. lol.

TTC40

Had a quick look at nursery websites. Only one gave a price which was £43 per day. Need to get pg before I think about whether others are any different!

morocha

your are all so funny. i am learning a lot here... just decided, that we will let it be, not worrying with "making a baby" everytime we have sex, just do it without protection and it will happen when it does,
it feels naughty lol

Bear with me, I'm on catch up

If I didn't say before (can't remember!) welcome to morocha

Aww that's so sweet, you're lucky to have such a supportive family. The perfect family to bring a baby into

We've not been explicit about TTC, but we've always talked about wanting them, and that we were putting off TTC til the debts were sorted - which she knows they have been, as it was her house (co-owned with DH) that we sold to do so I also told her about the PCOS a little while ago... Unfortunately she's 3/4 blind and has severe mobility issues (and smokes like a chimney!) so we would never be able to let her babysit or anything

Glad you're feeling less "meh"

Yes, I take 3 lots of the 500mg at bedtime.

I thought so. I only weigh less now though - when we both started on it we were similar...

I also asked my GP about only having it for 6 cycles and she said that she could "forget" that she'd given me 6 cycles already if needed. I think my GP is a bit of a rebel though and I think they say 6 cycles as clomid has risks of ovarian cancer.

I don't think my GP is that helpful/rebellious He wouldn't hear of Metformin til Gynae prescribed it, so I doubt he'd adjust the dose unless it was downwards.

I think I'm going to try and shift another stone, maybe by Christmas, and then go back to the gynae if there's no BFP by then. I'm more confident they'd prescribe it at that point too. :cool:

I'm concerned about the possible risks of Clomid too, I already have enough dodgy family history of gynae and cancer issues

Why doesn’t it make my leg hair fall out? That’s the real question.

Morning all. FF gave me OV lines today, I'm still wishing I could turn back time to find out if I misread Mondays temp - it just seems really high on Sunday if I hadn't OV-d. It also doesn't seem like much of a rise this month, so I'll be honest and say I'm jut counting down to AF to find out if I had an 11/12 day luteal or a 13/14 day one - ie did I misread that damned temp!

One of my colleagues told me his morning she's having her baby next September, I felt like asking if she had a crystal ball or hotline to God, as she'd be surprised to find you can rarely plan a baby in with such accuracy 3 months before starting to try. But then I'd have given away that we've been trying and I don't want anyone to know!

That would irritate me too if someone said that. I thought it was well known you cant just plan to get pregnant in one month, just the thought of someone saying that seriously makes me crack up laughing. I would have had to have said something!


Ive read about the saliva thing too. Things like that make me wonder how anyone gets pregnant :rotfl:

Not at all! If you add up everything you spend just because you are working, it can soon mount up. Things like

Travel to and from work
A couple of pairs of tights a week
Coffee with colleagues
A cook chill meal in the evening because you can't be bothered to cook. Or worse a takeaway!
Collections for colleagues birthdays, leaving dos, the office party
Packed lunches every day or a sandwich in the canteen
That newspaper you always buy to read on the train
Someone to clean your house/shirt service for your OH etc because you don't have time

I think this is a really great list.

The only thing for me though, is that I worked that out after a couple of months of working after I left uni because I was wondering where my spare money was going, and I stopped doing all of the above, minus the collections and travel costs - which obviously cant be avoided. And I always just read the free Metro anyway.

Also I hate both tights and coffee and therefore never had either of those so that helps :rotfl:

But you are right in that there are definitely costs associated with work that you dont always think about until you stop!
