New ttc no1 thread.

BTW if anyone knows where those no1 babies are I'd like to know! If I was a real detective I think I would have been sacked by now!

ooo..that's lovely scorpio!

Millie26 · 07/08/2007 17:01

Oh, totally, I'm so glad you do that too!

There is a tshirt in baby Zara that is green with stripes and has a pink line drawing of a dinosaur on it, its SO cute. Also, Topshop have got some minature dungarees that are uber cool but very tiny, in a way that only Topshop can pull off.

How about you?? Where do you go?

millie now you're my sort of girl. Have you started fantasy shopping for baby things yet? I've already picked out all the things I like but the rest of this lot don't like joining in with my fantasy shopping. (only teasing, toomuch did for a bit but she's disappeared recently!)

kensgirl Does she know you're ttc? If not how about chatting very enthusiatically about all the horrid bits of being pg? Piles, sickness, stretch marks etc. Of course I'd gladly put up with all that for a baby (as I know we all would) but if she doesn't know you're ttc it could be a way to handle it

Defo! Im onto it...

mistlethrush · 07/08/2007 16:17

Kensgirl - someone wanting support re mp on another conception thread - search my posts today if necessary if you feel able to offer support?

Not sure how to do link, but this is what it's called:

Mumsnet Discussions: Conception : Getting back to TTC after molar pregnancy and chemo...

Hope holiday is fab, and happy bonging - please feel free to cold shoulder friend's gf from me as well. Probably pushing her in the pool is a bit much given her condition, but otherwise would do!

When you find out what she's taking can you get a job lot for all of us?

Millie26 · 07/08/2007 16:11

Yippee!

Ye, am constantly and over my colleagues friend who is 20 and has had two kids accidently even though she says she was on the pill and the guys wore condoms. How?! Tell me, how!? I want what she's taking

mistlethrush · 07/08/2007 16:06

This thread has suddenly warmed up - about time too, its been in the doldrums for ages.

Me 38, ttc#2 (sorry, Millie, long story, followed Kensgirl, not really a stalker!), ds2.5. Ttc 18months, mc Oct 06. Mp 2003.

Dh not cooperating following scare after mc...

Nomore - with you there, very frustrating. And why is it, when you're ttc, every 2nd woman you pass seems to be pregnant - or at least looks as though they might be? Sorry, can't remember what happened on 1st appointment - so long ago (about 2001 I think!)

Some days it's all you can think about and other days you don't think about it at all. Then a colleague announces she's going to be a granny as her 17 year old is accidently pg and it feels like a punch in the stomach. But you've found MN now, so you come on here and moan about it to people who understand

Millie26 · 07/08/2007 15:14

I really should be doing some work. Have spent all morning gazing out of the office window fantasising about bumps and baby names.

It's only been a day so far - can imagine you think about it more as time goes on too!!?

We were lucky with the appointment, they had a cancellation and we could make it (They rang on the Thurs pm with a Mon am appt) I'm pretty sure 2 weeks is not the norm!

Thanks nomoremagnolia, good to know! it sounds like everything has been good from the medical side so far, with quick appointments etc.

kensgirl have a lovely holiday, try to resit the urge to push your DH's friend's gf in the pool! Hope it's not too stressful and that you get some time alone with DH

millie & graysongirl I've had everything on the NHS so far - inital tests done through GP (blood tests for me and semen analysis for DH) then got referred by GP to gynae at local hopsital who saw us in about 2 weeks . He did an internal ultrasound and had a look at my ovaries and womb then talked to us about the results of the tests done at GPs and prescribed me Clomid (I had the all clear from the scan but blood tests showed I did not ov that month). He wasn't too bothered about DH's results (he has a low % of properly formed sperm) as he is producing enough quantity (3% of loads is better that 3% of hardly any)
Think that's all, do ask if I can help with anything.

Stats: me-29, DH-28, ttc since Jan 06. cd21, cycle 20, 1st with Clomid

Hello! Mine are below. Am v new to all this, except have been skulking on here for months . Am v excited to actually be properly trying for a baby.

Realise you are supposed to say what CD you are but I've got no idea. Will start all that tracking after next period comes - could be anytime it fancies!

Good luck with your appointment!! Let us know what happens with the results.

kensgirl · 07/08/2007 14:48

hello again Graysongirl!

I'm still here, and rapidly becoming an oldie . I'm 32, dh is 33, cd 10 0f cycle 9, 1 mc/partial molar pregnancy.

Good luck to you all, I think this will be the last I get to post until I get home from holiday, we leave in the early hours and now I need to go and pack!!!

I will raise my glass to you all while away, and hope to find lots of bfp's on my return (hopefully including my own....)

graysongirl · 07/08/2007 14:38

Just realised I have been totally selfish and not asked about any of you!! Sorry am nice considerate person really....
Just not caugt up on posts so have no idea where everyone is at in the ttc rollercoaster...how about a quick stats from everyone????

graysongirl · 07/08/2007 14:36

Hello Everyone new and old!!!!
Been away from MN for a while now just been busy with work and trying to relax about ttc but I LOVE the new title so it drew me in again
Quick stats....I'm 30 and DH 35 and been ttc for 14 months (CD6 today)and have got our very first clinic appointment at hospital tomorrow.

It should have been the 22nd but they rang on Monday with a cancellation (some bugger got pg I'm sure of it!!!) but lucky for us so feeling ok right now.

Am a bit unsure of whats going to happen tomorrow, its only a nurse led clinic so will be prelim tests I think, had day 21 bloods done last cycle at GP's and results will be awaiting me at the clinic.
Any ideas of what will happen????

Thanks guys x x x

Millie26 · 07/08/2007 14:11

Can you get the tests done on the NHS? I dont think my work's health insurance would cover it although Im not sure. Do you pay for Clomid or can that be on the NHS too? In your experience, have GPs been sympathetic?

Sorry for all the qs, but I'm really interested.

nomoremagnolia · 07/08/2007 14:05

Yep, blood test on day 1 of your cycle and then again on day 21 to compare levels of different hormones. I've had another blood test this morning to see if I've ov'd with Clomid or not, should get results next week.

OP posts:
Millie26 · 07/08/2007 13:51

Ooo..exciting!! I think that you are lucky being so regular and knowing your dates but I can see how that is also SO frustrating. A lot of anguish on MN seems to be caused by not being quite sure though, and I have been SO convinced before that I was pregnant and then I had flu, or I was just PM or whatever. But you beleive it so much at the time.

ye that was me , I was wondering if people had advice and also if chickens are a bit dodgy, like sheep can be. Love the way you can ask anything on here...

Have been reading the boards for months, am pleased have finally decided to write something Everyone is so nice!

What is the test for ovulation? Is it a blood test?

nomoremagnolia · 07/08/2007 13:44

We were trying for about 14 months by the time we made it to the GP, then discovered that although my cycles are regular I didn't ov, so was referred to hopital and they put me on Clomid to make me ov. Have just taken first cycle of Clomid and am now at the 2WW (two week wait) stage of my cycle. AF (period) due in a week.
Was it you who posted another thread about touching the chickens?
