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.

thought it might make everyone chuckle if i mention (ssh don't tell anyone it's me) that if i'm not preg i am now someone who makes the most awful whiffs in office. I have such terrible wind. i'm burpy but its the other end which is worrying i'm trying to do it when someone else comes over here so the people close dont know its me. but its so embarrassing. I have NO control over this by the way!!!

Oh my goodness Xav I completely missed your engagement post...... Big CONGRATULATIONS from me WOW this really is a great thread!!

Ummm according to the online calculator my edd is 9 April. That feels weird written down, like it is all real.

Who is next to test then, Beccy?!? Your testing on the 3rd is that right? Do you have any symptoms?

Anyone testing any sooner?

bubblez · 30/07/2006 21:04

Thank you Xavielli!!

Oh I never thought of attributing the pains to the battered muscles. That puts my mind at ease a little now Thank you.

A boy!! maybe!! I really don't mind though as I have my little girl so either would be nice...

OFF to watch bb now and then bed, but thankyou for your cograts xxxx speak to you tomorrowxxx Nite

Xavielli · 30/07/2006 21:01

P.S Natty! I hope all goes well tomorrow and will be praying that they can help you!

P.P.S I know this is prolly not the right place to mention it but......

I got engaged today

Xavielli · 30/07/2006 20:55

Thanks Beccy

WOOOHOOO Bubblez! Congratulations!

re: Pain in the pelvis: I found the whole twinges/ BH/stretching/twisting/windy/achy pains FAR more pronounced the 2nd time round. It's prolly because all the muscles, and even the pelvis, has taken such a beating the first time round that it is more noticable! Even felt painless BH from about 12 weeks, atleast once a day! I was so

Boy this time then?

Beccy1974 · 30/07/2006 17:52

hi Xavielli

i had the mirena - that the one you're thinking of?

as I had not had children I can't pretend it wasn't painful but it was worth it for me.

having it taken out was a fractional repeat of having it put in.. and had some adjustment time when I got it.

but after three years i had it taken out in april and 31 day cycle resumed immediately.

so nice not to get af which stopped completely after about 8 months. maybe a little weight gain but other than that i got off scot free.

anyway - maybe its mirena or another type - but i do ovulate so hopefully it hasn't set me back

hope this helps
B

I have never been on the pill/injection or anyother kind of hormone contraceptive. I have always been too scared that it might not mean I could have any kids.

I am now considering a coil.... there is one with very minimal hormones in it. sounds good. I am just scared of having it fitted now! lol

Natty1806 · 30/07/2006 12:18

Yeah i think you are right, not sure what we will use once we have had a baby but nothing that involves pumping your body with hormones, but it would be just my luck that once i have had a baby i would then fall within 3 months - which to be honest would not be good as i wouldn't be able to afford it.

Shame money always rules your life one way or another isn't it.

WantAbabyNOW · 30/07/2006 11:54

You probably had the problem before Nat, I am sure I did and the pill was just the easy answer. I will never consider going back on the pill. I think I would rather take my chances... or tell DH to make a hasty exit ( sorry for tmi)... I am not very fond of the mes anyhow!

Natty1806 · 30/07/2006 10:35

i agree, that is one of the questions i am going to ask tomorrow, am i like this becuase i took the pill for so many years or have i always not ovulated? Don't think i will go back on the pill again as it hids what is really going on with your body.

OP posts:
WantAbabyNOW · 29/07/2006 23:59

Metformin is actually a drug that they give to diabetics but is now being used in women with some fertility issues. It might start body ovulating?

Will get clomid soon though as know nothing wrong with dh.

Maybe they should be mentionin to all thos on the pill... vtw it may not be as easy as you think to get pg when you are ready. Then everyone might get checked earlier and we would not all be sitting here!

aprilmeadow · 29/07/2006 19:43

Blimey ladies you have been chatty today

Fingers crossed for you ladies waiting to test. Am on CD04 today. Got asked today at my dads party whether no.2 was on the way anytime soon. Said we were working on it

Off to Donnington race track tomorrow for a day of British Touring Car Championships. DH's company is sponsoring one of the drivers, and they have given us 4 pitlane passes, includes a full day of hospitality. Not sure if it is my cup of tea, but dh thought it would make a change to do something different as a family. We have to leave at 07.45am, drive for 2hrs 40mins to be there no later than 10.15am. I hope its a good day and that ds (15mths) is ok!!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend
