Trying for a Baby Part 9

sophiasmum

Just to join the Disney Theme - we have booked, but for Disney Land Paris this year and we are taking the children (naturally!) TBH I would be more into a relaxing all inclusive break but overruled!
Dreamed I had a BFN last night.....must be playing on my mind. Never mind - last day in work today for the week Liking a 2 day working week - wish this weather would brighten up or its going to be an expensive 2 days at home with them off school!

Kynthia/Catloverbex: I've only done Orlando (can never bring myself to pay that much money for a few days in France!) but Disney holidays there are amazing kids or no kids! I went several times between the ages 7 - 20 and got something different out of it each time. OH had never been and was adamant that there was no point in us going without children but I talked him into doing it at least once without having to worry about sticking to nap/bed times, eating where we want to eat without worrying about the children's menu, drinking beer at 11am if the mood took us, going on all the super scary rides as many times as we can handle etc. We had our 'Once in a lifetime couples holiday' there for our honeymoon... then went back the following year! If we had the money, we'd be there right now! IMO people should definitely go without kids at some point because it's such a brilliant experience.

And now I've got the holiday blues!

Good morning, CD12 here and EWCM. But didn't manage to BD last night as DS snug into bed about 1 and stayed. Well three more chances before oV I guess.

Picklekin sounds like you had a great time! Sorry it was a bit chilly though!

thriftylass hope that this month is your month and you catch it!

chocgirl hope you get your peak soon. Are you testing with OPKs too?

Birdie Dominican Republic sounds great! Relaxation and I really hope you can't drink!

As for Disney, we are looking at 2 weeks next April... And it's looking at about 3k to stay at Carribean Beach/Port Orleans/Coronado Springs but that does include tickets and the Dining Plan.... then we'd have to get flights! It's quite expensive but I know how worth it it is! And as for waiting for children, Disney is so much more fun without! Everytime I saw a screaming child or an over tired baby, it made me feel so glad that we went before children ... Disney is wasted on them :rotfl:
Kynthia... Orlando all the way...
Gelly do you know that you definitely ov? Do you do OPKs etc? I use Fertility Friend app to track my temperature. This website is handy for information on temping http://www.storknet.com/cubbies/preconception/bbt.htm

Tink all of those things are beautiful!!! Hope being relaxed works for you x

As for telling work, my immediate line manager knows that I'm having some lady problems (it's a woman) and then my Head knows that I had an hour off for a hospital appointment. I would say investigations but I've got 3 appointments in the space of 5 days so I really don't think I'm going to get away with that and if they ask for letters etc they all say infertility on the top. I might phone the hospital and ask them to send me an appt card which just says gynae on. Also, it's not easy to cover me as supply usually comes for the day/half day but mine is only an hour at tops :S DH has gone into work today to tell his boss as he said he can't keep telling them I have hospital appointments... think he was a bit nervous though!

angeltreats have you been taking your temps at the same time? Mine are all over the place before ov but quite consistent after.

Miskate ov on cd23 isn't unlikely. I never used to ov before cd22. You can always test when you get home x


Part Mouse I've got a Baby Mad thermometer from eBay like this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/C-DIGITAL-THERMOMETER-Ovulation-Basal-Body-Temperature-Charting-Baby-First-Aid-/140825956191?pt=UK_Health_HealthCare_RL&hash=item20c9e18f5f

angeltreats you are definitely, definitely going to get a BFP now after all that fate tempting!

catloverbex I hope you caught it. My DH was also unsure about going to Disney without children but we went for our honeymoon and we both had the most amazing time! He wants to go back before we have kids now!

My new regime starts today... 2 tablets of femera, pregnacare conception and iron to stop me passing out from this horrific period! Think I might rattle soon!

I went to Orlando with DH when we were about 21 and we had a great time. We did the parks but also went shopping and then did a week in Tobago afterwards! I'd been as a child twice but DH had never been so it was fun being like kids ourselves.

Becca that seems so expensive!! Is it because its in the school hols? Could you stay on a motel on I-drive instead to save money? Or do you like staying in the Disney hotels?

We stayed in a really nice 3 star motel where you got free warm cookies everyday! Plus they had coaches to the parks which was great as driving in Florida would scare me a bit but I think I would have the confidence to do it next time if we had a sat nav.

When we went before there was a bank that got robbed at gun point near our hotel so on the coach back we ended up in massive traffic jam due to all the police and tv cameras so me and DH said look we'll just walk its not too far, and all the Americans clapped as we walked off it was so embarrassing lol! But turned out it was a good job we had left the hotel early that morning before the robbery as when it happened all the nearby hotels were put on lockdown and we would have been trapped inside so would have lost a day's holiday!

That probably wasnt a good way to sell it to you becca haha!

Ewcm last night and DH was back so we bd but I have missed a few temps lately so not sure what's going on.

We've stayed on I-Drive and at Disney and in a not very helpful or decisive comment I've got to say we'd do a week at each next time. The Disney hotels are amazing and feel so special, then there's the ease of charging everything to your room so you're not carrying lots of cash, you get your parcels sent to the hotel so you're not carrying them round all day and the transportation links are brilliant (we didn't hire a car either time but may be brave next time!). BUT we got a little Disneyed out and really enjoyed having a night away from it all and wished we'd split it so we had less Disney time, and we missed our favourite restaurants on I-drive as we couldn't really be bothered to travel out of WDW for dinner (especially as our hotel was waaaay out of the way!), and there's really no need to but it was so embarassingly difficult to find some decent hot buffallo wings in WDW, we were really missing our spice fix! We'll get the balance right next time.

Team Lowe - massive congrats to you! :beer: Oh, yeah, angeltreats….. No more business class for you TL :rotfl:

Kynthia - I wouldn't tell anyone the names that we like. I've seen too many people "steal" them for their kids saying they always liked it, and deny that you ever mentioned it to them…... :rotfl:

Code - totally agree. Boys name are so hard as they just don't sound pretty.

Skint_catt - welcome :wave: I remember you from before. Hope your little one is doing well. I know someone metioned Fertility Friend and not sure if you've found it again ok, but my chart link is a little further down if it helps......

Gelly123 - I couldn't get along with the cbfm…. I got a zillion days of high but don't think that I ever saw a peak. I don't think it's great for everyone. Are you also doing opk's & temping to help compare if you are ov'ing. Maybe the cbfm just isn't picking it up for you…..

Tinkwings - your crafts always look great!

Angeltreats - You're right about cornering the men bosses who have no kids, they'll run for cover :rotfl:

Atton - Don't be disheartened - you can always buy some different opk's but it's more likely that it ov is so quick, you might just have missed it…… I'd only be concerned if it happens for a few cycles…… do buy some different tests to put your mind at rest. Hope you're getting somewhere with the gp - don't give up. Keep puyshing and pushing them and do make sure you go for the tests that they've offered to you….
If that discharge is like the consistency of raw egg (the clear/white bit before it's cooked), then that's fertile….

Part mouse - You need a thermometer that has a decimal place, and if you don't have one, Amazon has one here for £1.99. The website we use to track temps is fertilityfriend.com and this is also free. You can see my chart here if you want a nosey.....

kalama - how are you doing? Are you in the middle of your house move and doing your mad trolley dash at sainsburys? :rotfl:

We've not been to Disney/Orlando but we have friends without kids who absolutely love it. OH and me aren't fans of rides so not sure it would have been quite the same for us on our own. I would love to go one day all the same ........

How do you ladies manage to opk at work - mine say that you need to collect sample and dip? Not exactly easy at work although that said there is only 1 other woman in my office building and she's not here every day :rotfl:

Hope everyone is having a good day - the weather is miserable here today. It was amazing on Sunday and has progressively been worse every day since.......
