Trying for a Baby Part 8

claire16c

You know I didn't really pay much attention to it, she asked me if I was allergic to latex but I didn't really cotton on there was a condom on there. I guess it was because it was under bad circumstances I was so worried/knew something was wrong so didn't really have time to think about it. Just felt a bit uncomfortable.

DH said that didn't look great! But I was just staring at the screen so only caught a glimpse of it anyway.

Never ever want to have that experience again!!

I'm SO happy its the weekend - I have 3 days off work (usually work at weekends!)

Naughty SS coming up (although I don't think I'm actually pregnant if I'm honest...) but just noticed in shower my boobs look a bit veiny and I've been so tired for last 4 nights I've fallen asleep before 10pm - VERY unlike me as hubby jokes I'm nocturnal, as later it gets more awake I am usually, BUT I've been poorly so properly just run down and tired from that.

On a non TTC subject I'm getting fat - I lost 1 1/2 stone for my wedding just over a year ago and have put it all back on and a little more on top. Need to get my motivation back to eat healthy again, as my trousers are getting tight!

Amy - I'm a carer too (in a care home) and it always hurts when someone you care for passes away, but the longer you are in the job, the easier it becomes (dont mean that in a horrible way.) Getting attached is just part of human nature, I know bosses etc tell you not to, but with some clients its unavoidable.

Warning: Rant at the US government

Well, seems that I cannot file my US taxes online because DH doesn't have, isn't eligible for, and doesn't want a flipping social security number. Filing taxes in the States is nothing more than a headache! I just want to go curl up into a ball and cry. I'm smart enough that I should be able to figure out what to do with these taxes, but right now I just feel like I'm worthless and stupid over them. I know it will pass, but it upsets me!

Rant over

Don't you just pay your taxes here? And not have to pay any back there now?

Hope you can work it out! My sister moved to Canada her visa forms were bad enough!

Thanks Amy for the inclusion in your long post! Your very good at remembering everyone's names - I can never remember who said what.

Teaandcake - thanks for posting images of your opks, very useful. I will be starting doing mine for the first time in a few days, so useful to see what to look for.

I have realised I will be out for the next couple of months though, OH works away, depending on what happens with my cycle I don't think I will be seeing him at those times. So frustrating.

Hugs amy85 for your bad week, I could not do your job for that reason

I will guess 5 BFP for this month please

Thanks Becca for doing the lists

My t/v US was weird. The sonographer wanted to get 'a better look at something' and went to get a non latex condom- OH was all anxious and I wanted to send him out because I had a terrible suspicion she was going to see something... On the scan she was all like 'yep, there it is, a lovely 4 week gestational sac- but I can't confirm that so go home and take a pregnancy test'. I could've decked her- sounds stupid but I knew I wasn't that lucky to be pregnant on a scan for infertility! 2 days later lovely AF came rolling in and OH was devastated (as was I because I thought maybe I was just being my usual pessimistic self). Got another one mid February and am thinking of leaving OH at home (though I know he wants to come with me) just in case the same happens again. Can't say I'm excited by the idea of it either way...

For those ladies who use the clear blue monitor, does it tell you like a 'medium' sort of level before you get to the peak so you can tell you are leading up to ov? Because I have such irregular cycles on the odd occasion I've ov at a decent time we've almost missed it because I wasn't expecting it so it might be useful for me to get more if a warning I was thinking. Only problem is I think the sticks might cost me a fortune if I have a long cycle so perhaps I should just stick to my opks.

Happy pics of my wee sticks could help... :rotfl:

That's really odd tea cake I wonder what she was looking at??

I know- I took a pregnancy test on the day after the scan and for the following two days as she said it might not show up as BFP for a week and then obviously AF came.

I have no clue how the '4 week gestational sac' thing works in term of pregnancy- whether its 4 weeks from LMP or what. I spoke to my GP after the scan as I was full of questions and his answer was basically if the scan says preg then you're preg regardless of urine test- AF crushed that little bit of hope! lol.

That was December so I'm worried that whatever it was (either a very early mc that I wouldn't have been aware of had it not been for the u/s- as my cycle was short that month (for me...)) is either still there as my AF's have been spotty/ not 'fresh' and pretty light or it wasn't a sac and is much more sinister. Gah.

So the sonographer told you you were pg and could see a gestational sac and you weren't? That's terrible. Unless there was a gestational sac there and you had early m/c? Or did she just completely balls it up?
