Trying for a Baby Part 8

becca0417

Thanks Abis. I read that as am I fed up of doing HPTs to which I was going to say YES! I'm fed up of squinting and tilting and holding up to the light becuase I know it is crazy. But anyway you asked about the lists haha....
I don't mind, I feel like I'm doing something productive because my cycles are clearly not helping in our TTC bid so I feel like this is something I can do. Does this make sense? No thought not lol

Claire so sorry to hear you've had a tough day. Hope you get the pick of the jobs and your little one very soon xxx

Skint hugs xx

My grandmother and grandfather on my dads side were both from sets of twins, and two of my aunts are twins on my dads side. I'm the only one in my 'generation' of the family who hasn't had kids yet. Oh well, if I do end up with twins, that's why we have two boobs right?

Had about half an hour of severe cramping and I'm peeing for England. The peeing so much is because I've upped my water intake to help flush fat out of my system (well, actually the toxins that have been trapped in the fat that I'm now burning off).

In the tub today I noticed that my chest is breaking out in spots! I haven't had spots in nearly 4 years except on my chin when I'm ov'ing! Did a mud mask (ahhhh, the self warming kind too!) and relaxed for the rest of the day after the bath.

An increased likelihood for twins is only inherited from the maternal side, so anything in your dad's family makes no difference. It's also only fraternal twins that count as identicals are a random event

That's hard. Sometimes babies need some help in realising what they're supposed to do, believe it or not. As I said there are loads of helplines and support groups so if you do want to do it next time then you can get in touch with them.

We had a lot of problems with DS (and me actually) after he was born and it got to the point where he needed to be taking in some more of nutrition so I decided to give up. I think he 'sucked' once in all the days I was trying. Hopefully next time it will be different! I would atleast like to try it even thought the thought of it horrifies me for some reason

Hugs for the witch catching you Kellykins.

MrsTM - I'm peeing a lot too I have been trying to drink a little more cos apparently half the time that you think you are hungry you are actually thirsty. So I've been having an extra couple of drinks in the day to see if it helps (I'm not a very good drinker normally ) Well done on the weight loss so far :T

Claire - Its totally normal about the knock thing. For DDs birthday party which was a week after my ERPC (obv all planned prior to the bad news) I was doing fine until I heard that MIL wasn't going to come (they had a bad-ish car accident just a couple of weeks before, so looking back it was fairly obvious she wouldn't come) I took it so badly. I locked myself in my room for over an hour crying hysterically :( Anything that would have upset me previously, just floored me afterwards. But it does wear off with time. It just sucks whilst you are going through the really hard stage Hope the job offers come through ok As for the scan thing on facebook - I think I would still share my information. Kittenpie said she set up a group where people had to have permission to enter where they put all the information in there. So people who found it hard didn't have to see it. I thought that was a good idea. I would still like to celebrate it when it happens for me, but am so much more aware of how hard it can be for others. I had to delete a couple the other week cos she put a scan pic up and said 'how did this happen?!' I wanted to put back I wish I knew the magic words I needed to say to have it happen to me

Becca - I'm fed up of doing HTPs now too And temping And OPKs And bonking to order TTC is sooooooooooooooooooooo not as exciting as I thought it would be :o:o:o Just shout up if you are finding the lists a pain and I'll take over for a while - or someone else will. Don't want you to feel like you are stuck with the job if you know what i mean xx

skintchick

I'm not saying they can't post a scan on FB just that they know my history and therefore should have let me know more appropriately.

abis21

Oh I know Skint - I understand its different in your situation. I'm just planning ahead on what I'm gonna do :o

Know exactly what you mean. I'm so fed up with it now, it feels like it's a normal part of life now however, like cleaning your teeth and ironing clothes.
Get up, clean teeth, have wash, pee on stick, have breakfast etc etc.

I keep thinking it's time to see the Doctor but other stuff keeps getting in the way, or I keep thinking we'll try for another month and see how it goes. Or need to see the Doctor for other things.

Think to tell the truth I've about given up. And worse I think my mind has even accepted it. Was sat talking to hubby last week about it, hence why I've been quiet on here for a while again. We discussed taking a couple of years out of trying and going back to ntnp. But I just can't do it, what happens if I miss my time that way, plus if I leave it hubby will be 38 by the time we try again. It's breaking his heart as he never wanted to as old as his dad when we had our first, as his dad acted like he was too old to do anything with hubby. He's already older now than his dad was.
Sorry suppose it doesn't really help when I'm sat watching 16 kids and counting. 16 kids!!!!! I'll be overjoyed (huge under estimate) with 1.

Hugs Vesper. Maybe call the Dr first thing on Monday and get an appointment in and discuss your ttc with him/her. Once you've got the appointment booked in, you might feel a little more in control.

I just watched the 16 kids thing too. 16 kids - can you imagine?!

Yes my SIL said she would come straight down after my erpc but her work wouldnt let her have any time off and then it was xmas, so understandably she had to spend that with her daughter. But didnt stop me bawling my eyes out. She felt really bad, DH had to talk to her on the phone because I was too upset to get any words out. It was silly really, its not like I was even really that upset with her and I even said to her dont do anything to get in trouble at your work, but I just felt like once shed said she was coming I started to look forward to it.

A group is a really good idea. And then just put the scan photo in there. I just find it a bizarre way to announce it - I think its ok to tell people and then put a picture up after - just so it doesnt suprise someone.

Vesper I agree with Miffy moo.

Maybe see the dr and find out if there are any issues and then you know if ntnp is more likely to happen or not.

I cant remember do you do temping, opks etc?
