Bonkers Anonymous - the one where so many babies will be born that we need some new people TTC!!! (Still no such thing as TMI) !!!

Morning all!! Sorry I have been away for a couple of days. We had a busy weekend. DH ge-grouted the bathroom and then we put all the christmas decorations up yesterday!

Juanitad - I can't remember whether or not I said congrats! So I've said it again. I love his name!

HC - get that appointment booked! I would say it will make you feel better, but possibly not - I will fill you in below!

Ceebee - glad Sam is managing to "catch some rays!" LOL - hope he is feeling better.

Dawn - good luck for today.

BSL - were you talking about the day 21 test? We can be guniea pigs together!

MJIM - well done on updating the stats - I am nearly back in the bonkers zone and feel really excited!

Well I was at my consultants appointment. I had convinced myself that I had endometriosis and for some reason thought I would just be put down for a bit of laser surgery or something.....but no..... aparently it is a last resort and now DH and I have to go through a catalogue of tests . My next appointment is at the end of Feb and in that time I've got to have a progesterone 21 day test to see if I am releasing and egg, DH has got to have a sperm test (in 6-8 weeks) and then I have to have a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) which I think is a dye test and x-ray. I'm not sure how I feel about the whole thing but am glad that DH and I have decided that as soon as Jan comes we are going for it big style on the ttc front (we haven't been trying that hard so far).

Sorry it was a bit mamoth. I will add myself to the list now!

Hi all,

Hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend. I am slowly settling in to life as a mum - and starting to get used to life without much sleep! Think I have the breastfeeding sorted now, I can get him latched on now by myself, hooray, as there is no midwife constantly on call at home like there was in the hospital! It does sometimes take me a few goes, but I'm getting there, so that's a relief. Could I ask you ladies with babies when he will be weighed again? I have a visit from the midwife tomorrow and then the health visitor will be coming at some point in the next few days, and I wondered if he will be weighed at either of those visits. Anyway, all in all I have to say the first weekend has gone pretty well, but I don't know if he is lulling us into a false sense of security with all the sleeping he is doing.....who knows what he might be like in another few weeks!!

Sorry to those who've had AF turn up in the last few days, good luck to majormoo (I'm guessing another bonkers baby must be imminent now), hope all the other bonked bonkers are looking after themselves and their beans. To the TTCers, I'm going to keep everything I have crossed that this month is your month and to the time outers - hope you are enjoying some chilling out time!

MJIM - wow that was some post!! I am very impressed! Enjoy your night out tomorrow - it will be fine!!

Haven't got the time to post properly but Sam appears to have got over his jaundice - he is definitely less yellow, is eating better and sleeping a little less (although he still seems to sleep A LOT!) MW is coming again on Tuesday to check him over and weigh him.

Knackered after all the festive decorating.

Night all.

HC

Hello Dawni-you found us then. I got the trees up this afternoon so very festive here.

DH's cousin's son (you keeping up?) had a litte boy this afternoon and it set me off. So pleased for him but absolutely dreading the visit.

Love to all!

HC

Oh goodness, I really need to try and keep on top of the very few threads I actually look at, I'm sorry for being MIA!

Juanitad!!! Congratulatons hon, I love your ds's name and have to say, he is adorable and looks just like Zack after he's had a feed, lol! Must be the universal "drunk" look for babies.

Dawn, I am sorry to hear of your results and wish you luck on Monday and sending lots of love & hugs.

HC & DD, I'm sorry to hear AF has arrived for you both. Sending all the babydust I can find!

MJIM: Poor Naomi! Jabs are horrid. Thankfully my HV actually asked me what my intentions were with regards to the jabs and she agreed that I could delay starting them by a month. As for Naomi's weight, some babies are just dinky and obviously that is just the way she is supposed to be. If the health professionals are not expressing concern, try not to worry (easier said than done I know.... I am worried that Zack is gaining far too much weight. He was 8lb 11oz born and according to my scales, he already weighs in excess of 12lb . I kind of wanted him to stay little for a while.)

Mandy & Knax: Glad to hear your scans went well!

Waves to everyone else!

HC Where have you taken me and will I find my way back ??? I got all my decs and new lights, spent a massive 17 quid as everything was 60% off !!

Hello all you new names, I cant understand all ya little short words so I'll have to try and read between the lines.....I'm currently trying hard for that little bundle of joy and have been for nearly 13 years !! I do have a much taller bundle of joy, he came to us nearly 16 years ago

D x

Well, looks like AF is here so feeling sad but at least it was a 24 day cycle so quite respectable really and am now prepared to start the OPK's on CD5.

HC

Brilliant that detox in a hopeful way. Send mine round will you. Temp drop again today so maybe it will be today so I can get back on this planet and think about something else other than being/not being PG.

AF has arrived.

Feel that I can now get back on with ttc, but also because I shouldn't be having one, but am looking at it as the opportunity to get pg and have a September baby

So......

Lol Will flounce stay away when AF arrives. The MW and HV will help with the breastfeeding.

Night ladies.

HC

Sorry HC, meant to say hope AF stays away!! Still a bit overtired I think!

What a good little son, he has been asleep since we got home from hosiptal, giving me the chance to have a proper read of all the posts. I just wanted to wish Dawn lots of luck for Monday, I know everyone has already given you lots of great advice and help, there isn't really anything else I can add, but I just wanted you to know that you're in my thoughts.

Ceebee, hope Sam's jaundice is better soon. At the hospital they thought Patrick might have jaundice, but the results of his test came back ok, although they did say I should keep an eye on him...unfortunately we don't have a conservatory though so not sure what I will do if he develops it!

HC - really really hope HC stays away, I know you must be getting frustrated now, so I hope this is your month, and the same for all the other TTCers.

To everyone else, thanks for your congratulations and kind wishes. I am so relieved to be home, it is so quiet here....the hopsital was very noisy, as you'd expect on a maternity ward I suppose!

Right, looks like he might be waking up and asking for another feed. I haven't quite got the hang of breastfeeding yet, I needed a lot of help from the midwives in getting him latched on in hospital and no I'm home I'm going to have to cope on my own! Fingers crossed.......

juanitad-yes, we got the wonderful news. Congratulations again. I have one of those after feed pics with the dazed and happy look. Priceless!

Hi all,

Finally home from hospital, hopefully DH updated you on the arrival of Patrick, by emergency cs on Tuesday. All was going to plan - got to 10cm dilated and got to the pushing the baby out stage, but that's when he decided to get stuck! They tried forceps, didn't work, so cs it was, which was a much much less scary experience than I had imagined it would be, and the most important thing is that he got out safe and sound!! He is just gorgeous - I will attempt to put a photo on my profile. Haven't yet caught up on the news from you all over the last few days, hope everyone is doing well and will read all your posts some time soon and catch up properly.

bluestar-how annoying over vital and important results. If I get round to testing I want results like yesterday!

MJIM-don't worry about Naomi's weight as she will be fine. DD2 was always off the bottom of the scale and I thought she would always be a little dot. She has evened out now and finally weighs 2 stone at 2 1/2. Still in mostly 12-18 month clothing though.

Dawn-how goes it? {{hugs}}

detox-AF got you yet? You'll soon be back on the wagon again.

Feel so frustrated here and wish AF would get a move on. Spotted an evap line on the PG test but after 2 hours it had gone so threw it on the fire. Got all excited even though it appeared after 20 mins and I had to hold the test up to the light and squint at it-lol!

Hi everyone,

Dawn - I know it's easier said than done, but try to relax....getting very upset and stressed isn't good for you or your LO!! I know there's nothing I can say to make this easier for you, but I think that the fact the nucal fold measurment was small and also there was a nasal bone...I am going think the best - that this is a blip and just weird results!

HC - Grrrr! What is going on and why are the tests all negative!! I was expecting a BFP from you today! I am sorry and understand the frustration!

Detox - I just think you are being so strong! And I'm so impressed by your attitude to what happened...it's a hard thing to deal with.

Knax - I am really praying next Friday goes well for you! How are you doing? After what you've been through, it seems very unfair!

Myjob - Poor little Naomi...jabs are never nice, but they are good for you. I am sure my niece was like Naomi and didn't put on weight very quickly...my sis had a awful time worrying and saw lots of people about it. My niece is fine now...she's lickle, but then my sis is too, so she just takes after her mum.

Majormoo - OOOoh we needs some more baby girls to even things up a bit!! I am going to guess girl...

Ceebee - poor little Sam! Altho, I have to agree with Dawn the conservatory imagine put a smile on my face!! How is he??

Big waves to everyone!

As for me well, I called to find out my blood test results on Tuesday and was told all was normal. I asked what the progesterone test results were and low and behold - not in!! That was the whole point of the test...anyhow, called again today and they are in, but have not yet been reviewed by the doctor, so I have to call back on Monday to find out if all is okay! AF is starting to calm down and ease now. I am thinking of taking Agnes Castus to bring OV on a bit quicker this cycle.

BSL x

Dawn I had the CVS through the abdomen and was 12 weeks, which I think is the usual way it is done. I had very high nuchal fold and no nasal bone. As others have said who knows why the bloods come back so high risk. Good luck for Monday.

HC how frustrating that test still showed BFN

taking not taling!

Ooh HC, is AF just taling the p* or is she really not coming I wonder?
