Hiya,

I put August as its a little late for July!

I'm TTC number 4(!)

Due to test on the 15th August but don't think we have much chance this month as its only our first and DH has been ill for a few days and now I've got the bug, so not much romance happening!

So just wonderded if anyone is just starting TTC and wanted to join me?

Orgasmic experience??!! Are they mad lol!
Grin at ripping your bits out, that's more like the truth I suspect!

Well I did a cb digital this morning and got 'pregnant 1-2' woohoo!! So I've made an appt at the docs for tonight :)

Omg I'm going to be a mummy!

i really hope your arentSmile there is women on here who have had to spend time in bed cause they cant move their heads off the pillow, makes me feel bad for moaning about how rough i feel. on the other hand i have friends who spit their babies out after feeling completly normal and not feeling much pain in labour (i always find its these women how have big families) i have one friend who describes birth as a orgasmic experience, like a build up then release. i dont know about that, more like someone trying to rip your bits out from the inside out one by oneGrin

Iwish · 27/01/2011 21:02

Thanks Liz that's so helpful. Think I'll try and book an appt for tomorrow and If they havnt got one I'll try telephone consultation.

Haha yeh remind me of that sentence when I'm in here telling you about how many times I've been sick in 1 day!! Xx

lizandlulu · 27/01/2011 20:51

i juist rang and said i had just found out i was pg and what do i do next, they said i had to see the gp to confirm it which i presumed he would do a test, but he jsut asked about my last period and a load of history.

if i was you i would def tell them about your thyroid and push to see the gp sooner rather than later. i know nothing about your condition, but better to be advised and let them see you asap.

'if thats the price i have to pay to be a mum then fair doos lol' ha ha ha i said that too, i would take any of the horrible things if i got to be pg, then it hits you and all you want to do is crawl into a deeep ole and you wonder what you have let yourself intoGrin really hope yours isnt too bad

Iwish · 27/01/2011 20:10

Thanks Liz. did you make and appt to see the gp or just ring and tell them? im not sure what to do and am a little worried about my tyroid. Was thinking about making an appt for tomorrow afternoon but then thought id be wasting their time...

i hope i dont feel too sick but if thats the price i have to pay to be a mum then fair doos lol

how are you?

lizandlulu · 27/01/2011 19:53

after i confirmed it with the gp (which really was him just asking me questions) i was about 2 weeks i think before i saw the midwife, then about 2 weeks till i got a scan date. alot of waiting. i havent seen my midwife since and wont be seeing her until 16 weeks, so 2 and a half more weeks.

i hope you dont feel to sick, its awful to feel sick. its not like you can even make yourself sick to feel better cause you still feel just as bad as before.

when i was pg with dd i felt sick for 7 months and just felt ropey for the whole time, but this time the sickness has gone off alot, just my appetite and the tiredness thats left.

Iwish · 27/01/2011 18:04

aww thats sweet! I think we will tell them after i have seen the midwife for the first bloods etc. im not sure if we will say 'im pregnant' we are having a baby' or 'your going to be grandparents'.
How long did it take your midwife to see you after you told your docs you were pg? and what do they do?

awww yeh ill have a nosey at the scan pic xx

KLou111 · 27/01/2011 17:46

Well, my mum kind of guessed, so she already said the 'Have you got something to tell me' 10 minutes before we did!! I had it all planned what I was going to say, and in the end I just said, 'We've got a bit of news for you' and my mum just said 'I'm right aren't I?' and my Dad didn't know what the hell she was on about so I just said 'We're having a baby' He said that it was the best Xmas present ever (we told them 30th Dec)

When are you going to tell them?

Will put scan pic on my profile page :)

Iwish · 27/01/2011 17:37

I know! I have been with my DP for 10 years but have only been living together for 2 years. My dad still sees me as his little girl and still spoils me so it a little wierd having him knowing we have been, erm, at it like rabbits trying to make a baby Blush
We are excited to tell DPs mum, she will be over the moon and think it will be easier to tell her.
Did you just blurt it out to your mum and dad.

Yeh im thinking sick is good, reassures me a bit and my boobs are a bit sore. hope i dont start throwing up at work haha.

I bet you are excited about the scan, you will have to post on here when you have been and let us know how you got on. i cant wait till that stage :)

Sorry for the essay by the way xx

KLou111 · 27/01/2011 15:00

Sick is a good thing now lol!! Hopefully you won't actually be sick though :)

I know what you mean about not dare telling your Dad. Even though been with DH over 13 years, when I told them I was pregnant, he was over the moon, even though I had just admitted I had had sex LMAO! (He's not that naive lol, just strange telling your parents about been trying to get pregnant and all that :) )

Feeling good here, so excited about our scan tomorrow. DH is as involved as he possibly can be, but when it comes to scans and MW appt etc, he feels so much more involved

Iwish · 27/01/2011 14:09

Yeh it's their first, my mum was pretty excited when I told her we were ttc but didn't dare tell my dad lol.

Im still being v cautious as I still have cramps which I get every month. Hopefully it'll sink in soon. Oh and feeling a tiny bit sick. Confused

Hope you are ok today x

How are you? X

KLou111 · 27/01/2011 12:22

Oh Iwish so excited for you!! Just ring the docs and say 'I've just found out I'm pregnant,what do I do now?' That's what I said lol :)

I'm sure your M & D will be thrilled! Is this their 1st grandchild?

Iwish · 27/01/2011 11:56

Thanks Liz I'm going to ring the docs in the morning. No idea what I'm going to say, I need to book in for thyroid tests so they may keep a close eye on me.

I'm crapping myself telling my mum and dad!!!

lizandlulu · 26/01/2011 21:54

you will feel you need reassurance till your first scan! if you are anything like me you will doubt there is anything actually in there till you see it on the scan!

i hope you feel well nad odnt get too sicky or tired.

Iwish · 26/01/2011 21:27

Thanks madkatz. I hope it's your month too. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you xx

Thanks Liz. I still don't quite believe it. I'm going to test again on Friday and have some cb digitals for when my line gets darker. Not sure why I need so much reassurance!

Lou yeh I told DP. I shouted him to the bathroom (then had to go in and drag him in) and said can you see that line. He said yes and asked what it was!! Dopey so and so! I said it's a pg test. Bless him he thought I'd seen a spider.

I stood in the bathroom this morning doing an excited little dance (yeh I'm a wierdo lol)

How are you all? Any words of wisdom for me?

lizandlulu · 26/01/2011 20:34

wow iwish SO SO SO SO SO PLEASED FOR YOU!!!!!!!!

KLou111 · 26/01/2011 19:57

Finger still crossed for you MadKatz!!

Have you told your DP/DH Iwish??? Sooooo excited for you. HUGE hugs xxxx

MadKatz · 26/01/2011 19:54

Congrats Iwish

Still cramping and tender boobs today so who knows. I really hope its this month

Iwish · 26/01/2011 17:34

Thanks klou hun! I'm still in a state of disbelief I think. I'm going to test again on Friday and see if the line gets darker. Then if it is I'm going to call them docs to advise them lol. (I have an underactive thyroid so will need my medication monitoring)

I'm going to have to try and keep my trap shut now hehe! Xx

KLou111 · 26/01/2011 12:21
