Hi

Just thought as there was a thread for the older mums (there words not mine)Smile
that i would start one for the younger ones.

Think AF is on her way (fingers crossed) as i normally have 48-70 cycles this will be my first one at 34/35 days - yippee.

It probably won't happen now, anyway feel free to write away.

TTC 11 month - waiting for appoinment at fertlity clinic.

Nicki - i used to go to the gym a few years ago and went for about a year but then got bored, yes whenever i have an attempt at home exercise my DP laughs at me
We have a dog called Jack he is a manchester terrier and looks like a mini doberman. He is so loving towards me but is very protective, he had a fight with a rotweiler (sp?) the other morning. he don't take sh~t from no one. But honestly he is lovely, at the moment he sleeps in bed with me and DP but am going to try and train him to sleep outside the bedroom in his bed for when the little when eventually arrives.

Bubblez - thanks for wishing me well, are you Pg at mo? If not when not pop over to the twiglet in 100 days thread it is kinda like a dieting club for ttc's.

Xavielli - looked at you kids on the other thread, they are lovely bet you are a very proud mum.

It does seem kinda greedy.. esp on this thread, but hey, I have 2 and I want more! (BTW, that wasnt meant to sound bitchy in anyway)

I doubt very much once all the ladies on this thread have a baby that they won't want another one!

bubblez · 08/07/2006 00:11

BTW Nicki and Natty you too are soo good to be exercising... I am soo rubish I wanted to loose at least a stone before I fall pgnant again, but I'm just too lazy to exercise and love my food way too much..

bubblez · 08/07/2006 00:07

Hiya just dropping in to see how everyone is doing!

Xavielli - Thanks, I hope so too. I can't explain it but I just feel as though something will be missing if I don't have another baby. That seems so greedy when writen down.

Hello MrsMCJnr - All the best to you I hope you get your BFP soon

Natty - I've been following your story on both this and the July thread. It's great that you have an apt so soon. Good luck I hope it goes well.

Nicki10 · 07/07/2006 21:43

I tried to do exercise at home last year but DP kept falling about laughing at me which is when I gave up and joined the gym.

I really enjoy it now though and it's a great de-stresser!

I'd like a dog, what sort of dog do you have?

I have good weeks where i eat lots of healthy stuff then bad days.

At least you go to the gym, i only just about managed to walk my dog everyday - going to try some dvd workouts this week.

Hi Natty

I am on CD9 at the moment so I've got a long way to go yet. I'm trying to be good at eating healthier as I go to the gym four times a week but I love getting take aways but I've messed up already with an Indian which is on it's way!

A holiday with just the two of you will be really nice then and will give you a reason for BDing to become romantic again!

Hi Nicki

You are bad, your DP sounds like mine. However whenever we are out and see baby clothes he can't resist buying something for his to be God son.

I know i am glad that i cancelled the private appointment, someone was obviously looking down on me. Like you say hopefully things will be put into motion and i will have that and the holiday to look forward to, but the holiday will be a nice break from everything, even though it is only a week. i can't wait.

Since me and DP have been together (nearly 9 years) we have only had one holiday just the two of us rest have been with friends so it will be nice to spend some time together even though we live with each other it is different on holiday.

What day are you on mow?

OP posts:
Nicki10 · 07/07/2006 20:07

Juat got back in, Natty thats fantastic news about the appointment, was defineatly worth missing the private one then as you can put the money towards the holiday.

I hope they put things into motion for you quickly and then you'll have 2 things to look forward too!

As long as we all keep positive and don't get too stressed i'm sure it will happen for all of us.

I was naughty today and went into John Lewis to look at Baby things! DP had to drag me away!

Natty1806 · 07/07/2006 16:38

Yeah am sure when it finally happens i will say things like 'a year that's nothing' in the whole scale of things.

Here's hoping that it doesn't take another year.

OP posts:
Xavielli · 07/07/2006 16:01

Nah... you wont ever forget how much you wanted to have a baby. Even when you feel like sh*te... You are never alone and you know it.

Even when you are in the throws of Labour... you would do it all again in a second when you first look at your baby...

MrsMcJnr · 07/07/2006 15:51

I'll second that Natty, you will be soon as will we all hopefully (apart from those who don't want to be of course!) and we can all moan and groan together and will probably often forget how much we wanted to be pregnant in the first place.

It's already true... You will be pregnant!

Natty1806 · 07/07/2006 15:02

Thanks Mrs McJnr, not been through as much as others on this web site but it does take it toll. Yeah very please appoinment has arrived just hope they don't hang about, you see i am 24 and have a feeling that they will use the usual 'at least you have time on your side' which is true but to be honest isn't much help when you have been broody for ages and want to get pregnant now!

Of course you can stick around Xavielli, your very lucky to have two lovely children and i will prob need you to moan to when i am pregnant.

See positive speaking already, i will be pregnant, i will be pregnant - do you think if i keep saying it, it will come true

OP posts:
Xavielli · 07/07/2006 14:34

Its good that you've got your appointment Natty!

I feel like a right pleb being on this thread as I have 2 beautiful babies and am overjoyed that AF has arrived (been waiting for her to show up for the 12 weeks that Elli has been here, was a bit worried as I do want more children) so I can get the coil fitted and not have anymore kids for 5 years, but it is the only thread I can find for young'ens!

Bubblez - I hope you can pursuade DP to have another one! It is lovely to see 2 children interact with each other!

You can all tell me to bugger off if you don't want me here!

MrsMcJnr · 07/07/2006 14:33

Goodness me, you have already been through so much, fingers crossed that it does not take much longer for you, you must be delighted that the appointment is not too far away.

Congrats on getting hitched, my OH is not interested in getting married we have been together 9 years this year so dob't suppose it would make much of a difference but it would be nice.

Anyway back to ttc, i came off the pill last July and had irregular periods ranging from 46 -70 days, went to Gp at end of Feb 06 he said that as my periods were over 42 days he thought i was not ovulating, he got me to have a few blood tests comparing hormone levels etc, progestrone level was 1 so confirmed i do not appear to ovulate next stage DP was tested and he was fine (even though he is bad and smoke and drinks more than me) that was roungly end of March. GP then wrote to fertility clinic as would like me to have clomid and he is not allowed to prescribe it anymore, got letter from clinic asking load of questions in May 06 then yesterday i finally recieved my appointment for the 31st July.

Last cycle was 35 days so was hoping that i would start to ovulate but doesn't look like i have according to my chart. Also started having acupunture in June and have had 5 sessions in total, to try and help me regulate and also to de stress me a bit.

...sorry i have gone on.

MrsMcJnr · 07/07/2006 13:32

Thanks Natty I know, I am the same, don't use the net at all at home!

Only got married last month and took my last pill exactly 3 weeks ago. We've agreed to actively "try" from Christmas but I am so hoping I fall before then, DH is just getting his head round the idea of actually wanting to get pregnant after all those years of trying not to. I know he would be as delighted as me if we just fell without being aware of trying!

I was on the pill for 18 years though so I know it may take a while to get my body used to the idea. Also, I have told both sets of parents that we are not going to try at all until next year so they are not harrassing us at the moment but will be again after Xmas!! the stress!

What is your story Natty?

Natty1806 · 07/07/2006 13:10

No your not too old.

I keep popping on to see what is happening, bad really as i should just get on with my work and stop thinking about all of you lot and whos bding today who's testing and who's AF's turned up.

I sound like a sad person with no real life, but i promise you i do it is just so addictive when i am work, not as bad when i am at home.

How long you been trying Mrs??

OP posts:
MrsMcJnr · 07/07/2006 12:46

Hello, I'll jump on here too though I may be pushing it as I'm 32, Natty, you can kick me off if I'm too old for this thread but I am a first timer!

Re chat rooms being addictive, there is not quite so much going on on this one as there was on my last addiction (Confetti). I work alone and like the ability to chat a bit between tasks so I'll be on here alot! so please talk to me!

No. have booked the time off work but have agreed with DP that we will do a last minute deal.

OP posts:
Nicki10 · 06/07/2006 16:46

Have you booked your holiday yet Natty?

ScoobyDooooo · 05/07/2006 18:05

I would just like to say goodluck to you all who are TTC

Also i dont think you can choocse an exact time when you think it is right to have children, everyone is different.

I always wanted kids when i was v- young but always belioeved i would wait until i just "new" the time was right.

I met dp & i "new" i would be with him forever i was totally in love after 3 months of being with him i accidentally fell pregnant, i did not worry though, i was 19 at the time, i then went on to have my ds who is now 3.10 & he was the best thing that ever happened, yes my life is totally different, yes you have to sacrifice alot to have kids, yes its hard tiring & draining, BUT by far it is the most fantastic & rewarding thing, i love being a mum & i treasure every second of it.

I am now 24 & also have a dd who is now 6 months old 7 have now been with my dp for nearly 5 years, i will never look back, if you think the time is right for you & your partner then go for it, dont wait time is precious when TTC.

Goodluck & i will be looking out for your BFP's

Nicki10 · 05/07/2006 17:42

I remember thinking when i was really young and at school that I would make sure that I would have a baby in September or October because it was always cool to be the oldest in your year because you could do everything first!.

How young a naive we were now I would be greatful to have a baby at any time of the year!.
