The Good Husband of TTC Drive (No1 Babies Detective Agency pt5)

nomore - we went for that route - not that the route went as planned, or the direction expected - but got there in the end!

Best of luck! When is your next appt? - do you know yet when you are likely to be able to start?

I'm not feeling very positive for this cycle either - dh has been a bit ill (man-cold) so not been exactly pro-active. Very slight chance, but I'm not expecting anything

Never mind, I've got quite a few flowers out already in the garden: two types of hellebores, a witch hazel, cyclamen coum and (rather surprisingly) a dark red scabious. Spring is on its way! Hope we all start feeling better and having a bit more luck.

(((((((hugs for nomore)))))) but glad you are being treated well.

Congratulations Scorpio, you looked absolutely gorgeous in the photos! I can't believe you are 29 weeks already, that has gone so quickly. I am 20 weeks this weekend and really looking forward to the last scan.

Hope everyone else is fine and looking forward to the weekend!

Hello again
Thanks for all your words of welcome and sorry for taking so long to pop back. Ready - I may well come and join you on the TTC No 1 forever thread as well. You're right - I certainly felt a sense of relief after I'd been to the doctor.

Was getting a bit panicked yesterday as I didn't get a smiley face on my OPK (I always do) and had timed my Day 21 (well Day 19 for me) blood test next Friday based on ovulating today so thought that it might mess up the results. However, got one today so hopefully it shouldn't make too much difference.

Unfortunately, DH is feeling very under the weather at the moment and not sleeping well so my chances of seducing him tonight are not looking good . Came down at 12.30 last night to see if I could drag him to bed and he was busy working and I didn't have the heart to disturb him ...

We had a lovely lovely day, can't believe i have been married for nearly a week

We got married at 11.20, i was so worried i wouldnt say the vows right but i did . then we we went out for a meal, they decorated it lovely , there were 20 of us plus my 3 boys. Babysitter got the boys at 3pm.We left at 4pm, we went home and had a sleep was soooo tired, i hardly had any sleep the night before, DH was out at his friends house and i cant sleep without him.

We then went back out at 5.30pm, to our evening reception. That was great, very tiring htough and people let us down, saying they would be there and then they weren't, and idnt even text us. but hey ho we still had a good turnout. We left at about 11pm, to go to bed!!

We keep calling each other hubby and wifey, its still very new to us

I did have half a flute of champagne too but was very small amount with very big dinner so thats ok right? have had no other alcohol this pg, and no intentions to either!

Millie bump is fine, im 29 weeks now, shitting myself that in 10 weeks ish (i always have mine at 39 weeks) i will give birth and have an actual baby!!

Scorpio, how lovely!! Tell us all about your day?

Would you believe it Gilly, we have NO chocolate in the house, and I am too lazy to walk to the shop and buy any! Haven?t got a clue about where to buy wool online, but will be interested in the responses

Sybil, how exciting that you have started to feel the baby How are you feeling?

This thread has gone a little flat? I blame myself, getting everyone?s hopes up and letting you all down.

Nomore, good luck tomorrow poppet will be thinking of you ? had a good chuckle at you saying we are ?damn nice? ? we are, aren?t we. And more people should look in on us from time to time, shouldn?t they

Thanks for the pattern MT, I have got my knitting out of the box it was stuffed, it was going to be a scarf, but have decided that the tension (?) wasn?t perfect and so I have unravelled it all and am starting again. But this time I am going to knit a blanket. I think. That can?t be too hard, can it?

Millie26, welcome back, I am so sorry to hear about your mc. Also sorry to hear that you have been bleeding, have you spoken to your gp? Good luck trying again, fingers crossed for you

Hobnobs, welcome to the thread (come and see us on the ttc1 forever thread too if you like) ? good on your for going to see your gp and getting the ball rolling, it certainly makes you feel a little more in control, or at least it did for me. Good luck with the tests. You have come to the right place, we are a lovely bunch and I hope we will be able to offer you support Oh, and don?t worry about the knitting, I am rubbish

i have some wedding pics on my profile now

Ready, i was watching and waiting this time

Everyone else well? Wedding was fabby

Ready . Chin up, its a new year, lets hope something happens a bit more positive for all of us!

Nomore - ahhh - but you didn't look down to the end where it says turn the ribbing over on itself and slip stitch to the inside - so effectively only 7 rows of ribbing show - but this achieves a really nice, but soft cuff that has a bit more chance of staying on... and of course, this wasn't premie mit sized but sort of 0 - 6month size... (ie it was the right size for ds when he was born - he had hands like little mole hands - rather spade like!)

CD1 18th cycle, gutted. Will be better later, I'm sure and I will be back to welcome the newbies and I might even pose a few new questions - you never know

Who was it wanted mitten pattern? Anyway, I've dug the one I did out (has jacket and hat and blanket and mittens - Stylecraft 4693) - these mittens are very easy - they just have 3 stripes on for interest, and just pop over fists... I've only done 'normal' rather than premature size here - its the size I made up and it was fine. Meant to be done in Wondersoft DK - I think the one I used had good % cotton...
3.25 needles: cast on 31, work 14 rows 1x1 rib (k1,p1)
4mm needles:
1st row knit
2nd row purl
3rd knit
4th purl
5 knit
6 knit
These 6 rows form pattern. Work a further 10 rows in pattern.
Shape top (need to keep pattern going!):
1st row K2togtbl, K11, K2tog,K1, K2togtbl, K9, K2tog ( 27 stitches)
2nd, 4th and 6th rows in pattern
3rd row: K2togtbl, K9, K2tog, K1, K2togtbl, K9, K2tog (23 stitches)
5th row: K2togtbl, K7, K2tog, K1, K2togtbl, K7, K2tog (19 stitches)
After 6th row, cast off (the pattern says in rib, can't see why though...)

To make up, join seams at top of hand and side, Fold rib in half onto ws and slip stich loosely in position

Not too sparkly today Nomore, DH managed to give me a horrible virus. He spent all last week in bed/on the sofa being useless and ill and making me look after him, and now he has swanned off back to work and left me to get on with feeling awful and looking after two (and a bit!) kids.

Still, I am feeling quite a few movements from the baby now which is lovely and I have my 20 week scan in two weeks which I am really looking forward to. I have looked at your ugg boots and felt the green face of envy, but I don't have the energy to knit at the moment. Take my advice, knit the entire wardrobe now!

Hello to everyone, especially the newbies! This is definitely the thread to be on, not only are the people fantastic, but when you actually do get that bfp they make you feel welcome to stay around! I think the only downside to some of the ttc threads is you feel guilty about staying when you are pg and everyone else is still ttc, but these ladies are fabulous and are still supportive throughout the pg too!

What more could you ask for?

Hi Millie - in similar boat - mc in autumn early on - only mumsnet around when it happened as dh at rehearsal. Hope we're both luckier this year.

Hobnobs - we are definitely friendly here, do join us! I am trying for #2 at the moment (long story as to why I'm here on 'wrong' thread) - I was 37 when I had ds, after 6 year wait (ttc most of the time except about 18months when banned for medical reasons), so you're not much different!

Hi nomore, ready, toomuch and the rest of the detective agenct thread peeps

Not sure if you remember me from back in October, I think. Well I started temping and taking all the advice from you ladies and I got my bfp on my birthday in Nov which was totally, TOTALLY unexpected! Had a gin and tonic in my hand at the time. Put that down pretty smartish Have endometriosis so thought it would take MUCH longer!

Unfortunately had miscarriage on Dec 1 at 5.5 wks which was horrid but trying again this month - just started another thread as not stopped bleeding for 6 weeks! Dammit!

Anyway, hope everyone is well. Am totally out of the loop but will go back and stalk the message boards for updates!
