Trying for a Baby Part 9

Becca - maybe time to test just in case? I see you're 11 dpo now, is that a normal LP for you? My AFs are extremely light but I don't recall ever having normal cm in the middle of it.

Love your dolls Mrs TM! So cute! TL's ideas are great! You should totally go all Star Trek (and Star Wars?), my OH is a massive Trekky and I'm running out of silly Trek things to buy him! Bought him this for V-Day and this for our anniversary! :cool:

Maybe you should test just in case Becca?!

I could always make him something for his birthday or next Christmas.


Completely off topic:
I really hate having to charge as much as I do, but the price of thread, yarn, and supplies here is so much more than it was back in the US! Crafters, where do you purchase your supplies? I also need to find some lanolin cream for my poor fingers!

If I push it, I can have a doll finished in two days. I want custom orders to start coming in more frequently, but, since I'm the only one making the dolls, I don't want too many to come in at once.

I get where you're coming from. I make cards (so hardly the same skill level but still something creative) and people don't realise how long I will spend making something 'perfect', pretty sure they think I just slap a sticker on a piece of card and call it a job well done. I sold cards for Valentine's Day and taking into account the materials and time spent I probably made about £1 an hour. I do the odd commission but because someone has specifically asked for something special I've spent ages getting it right and at the end they go, 'Yeah, that's fine.' give me £2 or whatever and walk off and I'm left thinking, 'Really?! For the hours I put in that's all you've got for me?!' . So... I don't think I should take on many custom orders! Friends tell me that I should make wedding albums for people in a scrapbook style... failing to realise that my scrapbook that I show off has taken years (and it's still not finished) and has cost a fortune in craft supplies. I'd have to charge about £300 just to make it feel like it was worth the effort, and no-one would pay that! :rotfl:

Oh and I'll be contacting you later in the year for his Birthday present (September!).

I am stalking this thread now for a Becca update

I have all the appropriate bits crossed for you.

I have had a bit of stretchy cm today. Couldn't really call it ewcm but it's not far off. OPK was definitely negative though, wonder what's going on.

Sorry can't test until later!

afternoon ladies...

you are all so crafty! I used to love art and crafts at school and really miss that kind of thing.
I try to make up hampers of homemade things for the grandparents each christmas. I think homemade things are so much nicer than the "oh I saw this generic gift set in boots and thought of you..."
Its hard to get the time to do things though with work demands, and I can imagine those of you who already have little ones struggle to find time to fit things in.

cd13 today, trying to BD as much as possible! think oh is feeling a bit "used"! He said "i'm not complaining, but really could do with out the pressure of knowing that now is a good time!" He also said he really doesn't want to hear about poas and ovulation and all the other great bits of info I'm learning from this thread and other pg websites!

been using the opks for a few days now, and no ovulation line appearing. although I notice some ladies saying the got pg in a month when they got no line either!
thinking my cycles/ovulation is still not back to normal after the pill. So trying to relax and not expect anything to happen soon.
