Trying for a Baby Part 9

LailaP_2

Afternoon all, think I am 4DPO at the mo. Does anyone else feel like rubbish after ov? I don't get too much grief around AF time but around ov time I always feel ridiculously tried, achy and grumpy. I also get a huge bloated belly and look preggers which doesn't help matters, people always seem to stare at it and I am sure they are thinking I am with child but sadly it's just bloat.

Hugs to all on CD1 or there abouts x

Hi all, may i join you? Been lurking for a year, just trying but not monitoring..now officially panicking and going at it all guns blazing lol.
Liittle info, I'm 42 - soon to be 43 trying for first baby (left it very late.. I know ). My cycles have been a bit wonky last couple of months...currently cd 38 after a three week bleed last month, so no idea where i am really.
Have had af symptoms for over a week but no actual af? been using opk's just in case but not got a strong line yet, waiting for clearblue monitor to turn up and hope that af does too Sue

great thanks purcy, i hope it can at least tell me if i have a surge, trying to put off going back to gp after the look she gave me when i went to see her about the long bleed, she really wasn't too helpful..gave me tranexamic (sp) acid tablets to take to stop the bleeding but didn't tell me i should only take them for 3 to 4 days at a time, she said to come back the next week whether i had stopped bleeding or not as they could do a smear and exam even so.
Got there and she had a poke and a prod and said there was nothing wrong and that she couldn't in fact do my smear as there was too much blood :mad:..then i said shall i continue with the pills and she said no..you know you should only take them for 3 days right? :eek: err no i didn't cos you didn't tell me that!
When i said we were trying for a baby she said...really?? how old are you??..could have slapped her lol. So not too keen to see her again anytime soon

Welcome without-a-paddle :wave: I hope that your stay here is very short and you get your BFP very soon! Your doctor sounds like a complete witch!! I'd try and get a new one if I were you! X

MrsTm yay for IT issues resolving themselves! I can help out with lists if you ever need it....can't do it from my ipad but can dig out my old laptop xx

Purcy thanks for stepping in to do the lists today - they are so handy and its nice to keep track of us all.

Laila i dont have the same symptoms as you but I do get ridiculously horny around OV time! Am guessing it must be a hormonal thing but it certainly helps with BDing at the right time!

Lolly big hugs for cd1 xxx

Chocoholic - wow! You have inspired me to switch to aldi for a bit! We're having an "eat out of the freezer" week this week. I'm terrible for buying reduced stuff and freezing it but not so good at then actually eating it! Lol!

Ashia I also need to declutter and organise. My biggest weakness is books got a lot better since I got my kindle but still got ram packed bookshelves in every room in my house!

Samtoby hope the carboot went well! Wish I could be organised enough to do one....!

Right - off to bed to read my book (re-reading the Harry potters ATM!) xx

Hi all

Just got back from a mini break. DTD each day which I am hoping will be right (didn't bother taking any opks as they never seem to work anyway)

Hope I haven't missed too much

Cat lover bex - I too am a book hoarder with a kindle. I've taken two massive bags to charity and still have more books than book space. We're comic book readers as well so they're scattered about too. I'm rereading etiquette and espionage.

I should be able to do the lists from now on, but I will need someone to cover them from 21 August through 27 August as I will be out of town and probably have NO internet access. (EEK!) It has felt entirely wrong to not be able to post much today!

Carboot was a sucess £45 out of rubbish and the £90 from the comput
..........I am pleased with that.

Mrs_T_M - I am more than happy to volunteer myself to do the lists on those dates.
