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?

Liz I hope you are putting more cream on and improving.

Mad you are obviously better at forward planning than me, I have to wash the pillow after Blush Sometimes I am very lazy and just put pants on and go to sleep, but having had a UTI a couple of months back i do now go to the loo after half an hour or so.

I'm still feeling sick, its day 30 today, so if I've not got AF by the morning will be POAS. Swing from thinking I'll have a baby 'when I go to London in November' etc to thinking its another dud month Confused

Liz I wait half an hour before I go to the loo and wipe, tend to just raise my hips slightly on a towel covered pillow and rest. Its quite nice as DH and I can have a good cuddle Smile

Hi. Sorry for getting confused. Told you I was tired (and blonde)... too nervous to go to bed... off to eat ANOTHER choice biccie.

lizandlulu · 13/01/2011 21:25

ok ok it is me with the bloody thrushGrin got some cream today but doesnt seem to be doing anything so far, might need more though, i only put a tiny tiny bit on as i dont particularily like using it (not that anyone ever does!)

yes madkatz getting doing it like you have never dont it beforeGrin

tell me to mind my own business, but do you wipe after the deed? for the first 4 months i waited 15 mins then wiped, after reading what other people did, but in the 5th month when we was sucessful, i left it in there and didnt wipe at all. i dont know if its just coincidence or what but i did it even though i hated the feeling of being so sloppy down there, but i got desperate!

just a thought?

KLou111 · 13/01/2011 18:02

Happy shagging MadKatz!! Get those bloody spermies swimming MadKatz's DP/DH!!!

MadKatz · 13/01/2011 17:58

EWCM has arrived! Fingers crossed it might be our month!!

Good luck for a BFP Eaglewings

and for your scan Gruffalo

xx

KLou111 · 13/01/2011 13:00

nice to hear from you Gruffalo and Eaglewings.

Fingers crossed for a BFP Eaglewings sounding promising!

Hope all goes well with your scan Gruffalo, I would love twins. We've got them both sides, but only one heartbeat on my scan that sono lady could see, however she did say may be too early to tell!! (Not me with the thrush BTW :) been lucky so far)

GruffaloMama · 13/01/2011 12:51

yeah - my maternal grandmother and grandfather both had a few sets of twins as siblings. (They were one of 13 and one of 14 respectively - good Irish stock...)

lizandlulu · 13/01/2011 12:44

all sounds promising eaglewings

gruffalomama hope it all goes well with your scan, bet you are so excited. do you have twins in the family? dh kept teasing me this it was twins, but luckily it isnt! but its strange how all these things go through your head isnt it!

eaglewings · 13/01/2011 10:02

Sorry Gruffalon menat to say good luck for you scan tomorrow, do let us know how it goes

eaglewings · 13/01/2011 10:00

Been away from this thread for ages sounds like there has been some great news, congratulations Liz and Klou.

Madkatz and Iwish, hope this is your month!

I'm waiting to POAS, I tried on Monday as I had a Dr's appointment and again yesterday as I had a hospital app for injections into my neck - sorry tmi?

Both came back as BFN but then I'm not due until today of Saturday. However I do normally spot up to 4 days before my AF and there has been no sign so far. I am also feeling v sick so maybe??

GruffaloMama · 13/01/2011 08:17

Hi all - sorry I've been in hiding - so tired and work is mental.

Liz great to hear that the scan went okay - I guess that you knew you were pretty likely to get your date moved back a wee bit given they cycle you had.

Madkatz has EWCM arrived yet? Keeping my fingers crossed... (might explain any typos)

Klou glad to hear all was well in the early scan - thrush though...horrid. Definitely get it checked out. You can also get it in your breasts (I know this from BF peer supporter course I did). But not sure if that is common before baby arrives. Might be worth mentioning to your GP/MW that your breasts are v tender - mine are too but only in the way that they were with DS, IYSWIM?

All well here. Sickness is fading (fingers crossed again). Had my flu jab on Wednesday - made me feel rotten on weds evening but fine since then. Scan tomorrow - very nervous. Am terrified it's twins. But even more terrified it's not really there and I've imagined everything.

Iwish · 12/01/2011 12:22

Aww glad it went ok Liz xx

KLou111 · 12/01/2011 11:18

Ahh Liz that's great news, glad you got to see your little one. Shame you have to relive 2 weeks!!
Know exactly what you mean with having a baby in there confirmed, I was worried at first she wouldn't find anything in there, but alas, little one was there :)

MadKatz · 12/01/2011 08:42

Glad it all went ok liz x

lizandlulu · 11/01/2011 20:35

well, went to the scan and the sonographer said i was measuring 10+6, not 12+6 like i have been thinking, but in reality i knew it was coming. it was too small to do some of the tests though so got to go back in 2 weeks time. i saw the heartbeat though and could make out the head body and legs but it was very blurry.

made it all so real though, i saud to dh in the car on the way back, 'i have actually got a baby in there!' he looked at me like i was divvy, but it just confirmed in my head that it wasnt all a dreamSmile

KLou111 · 11/01/2011 11:24

Let us know how your scan goes Liz :)

KLou111 · 10/01/2011 17:06

No, unfortunately, the MW only came out Friday so she said they'll send it in the post in the next 10 days or so. Less of a rush for them now as I am a week earlier than my dates show, so I OV'd a week later, which is what I always thought anyway.

lizandlulu · 09/01/2011 20:51

brave and abit stupidGrin do you know when your scan is?

KLou111 · 09/01/2011 20:40

Apparently some women just get it. I'll still be a bit unsettled though until I get to the 12 week scan, even though I've seen everything's OK 5th???? She's brave!

lizandlulu · 09/01/2011 20:29

give you a rest though hey? no really, is there any reason for the brown or is it just one of those things? i have a friend who is pg with her 5th and she has bled on and off with the last 4 babies, nothing wrong, just something her body does.

KLou111 · 09/01/2011 20:22

ha ha!! DH going a bit insane as we got told not to DTD until a week after my brown had totally gone. Got a bit this morning, so there's another week!!

lizandlulu · 09/01/2011 20:05

bloody hope notShock Grin chance would be a fine thingGrin

KLou111 · 09/01/2011 18:12

Sounds like thrush to me. MW went through it on booking, only other thing is STI but I assume it's not that!!

lizandlulu · 09/01/2011 13:44

tmi but i think i have thrushBlush i am not particularily itchy but very sore and tender when wiping at the loo. not sure if it is or not. not sure what else it could be, any ideas?
