Bonkers Anonymous-Bonkers, Bonked and Bonkers Babies all welcome and there are plenty of positive vibes and babydust for everyone!

Bluestar - so sorry that you have to wait so long. Your poor DH.

Just popping on quickly before the weekend. We have visitors so probably wont be around until Monday.

Have a good one!

Bluestar - so to hear about the 2 year wait. I don't know anything about IVF but there was a girl at work recently who was able to be seen quickly if she agreed to donate eggs for another couple to use. I don't know if this is something all hospitals do, but the idea was that if you were happy to 'egg share' then they would move those couples up the waiting list, as potentially they could be helping 2 couples at once.

Hi everyone,

Sorry for being so absent for so long and that I'm only popping on to give you an update. I will try to come back later tnoight and post properly.

Had our second fertility appointment today after DH has been taking pills and potions galore for 2 months. Sperm results are worse than before and we've been referred for ICSI IVF...it's a 2 year waiting list. I wanted to cry in the doctor's office. I don't know how I feel right now. DH asked if we're going to be okay - he's pretty low right now.

Anyhow, hope beaans and babies and TTCers are all fine...a proper catch up later.

CE - have you tested your sterilizer as well? I managed to BF both of mine but remember for both going out and buying the ready made cartons of SMA and testing the sterilizer so if the worst came to the worst at least I would know what I was doing!

Hiya guys! Having a nice day everyone?

Dawni - you poor thing . Like HC I have no words really to help you except that it WILL happen...THINK POSITIVE!!!! (Seem to remember saying something very similar to HC last month actually!). We will all be whooping for you when you get your BFP you know! ...and you know it will be worth waiting for, it's always worth it!

I have had loads of mw appointments! ...and they seem wuite happy for you to just turn up if you feel like being seen! I'm thinking it's because it's a small local mw led centre, rather than a massive busy hospital! I have my long 1 hour appointment on monday to do my birth plan!!! - quite scary!

We have had a lovely relaxing day today, have checked the monitor, tried putting the rain cover on pram, and folding it up etc! It's soooooooooooo surreal!

Do you get your first MW appointment at 10 weeks then? I have completely forgotten. Also, how many appointments do you have?

Hey Dawni, I'm still ttc too.

It's very maddening when it's all out of your control isn't it?

I get excited after sex thinking that "maybe we just made a baby" but then I hate the feeling of waiting to find out and knowing that you might be disapppointed. It's worse than that feeling after an exam when you have to wait ages for the results.

Hi all, glad to hear everyone is OK

I can't believe how many gadgets there are for little people! LOL. If we have another boy and people pester us to death for things to buy I may ask for money for the jumperoo thingy!

Dawni - I think day 22 will be fine.

MJIM - we bought a crib last time as imo moses baskets are rubbish. DS1 slept in his for about two weeks at best - it was the worst buy ever.

Ceebee - loving the blender/purreeer/defroster thingy! Does it go to Tesco and get the ingredients too! I will make do with a hand blender again (£12 from Asda).

HC - glad the test worked OK. Are you still feeling rough?

I have decided I am going to Dr on Mon to confirm etc. Have been having palpatations and this morning woke up and had had a nose bleed which is an absolute first for me. DH bless keeps going on and on about how the symptoms are DEFINITELY different this time and therefore it MUST be a girl wishful thinking springs to mind......

its ok MJIM I just want a bit of what you all have, its just a touch of the green eyed monster.....seeya round x

Evening all

Loving all the talk of baby gear Unfortunately for Sam, he ain't getting anything new that is big (apart from the highchair) as we just haven't got any room at all. I have bought him a playtray for the old Bumbo so he can sit and play in that in a few weeks

Have been looking at this for when Sam is ready for weaning. It looks fantastic - it steams, blends, purees, heats and defrosts - so basically you can do everything in it that you need for weaning. Unfortunately it is about £70 (Dawn maybe something for you to consider from your SIL??) so not sure we can afford it but I really really want it

Willmouse I phoned the docs and changed the day for blood test, earliest i could get will be CD22, im too busy at work the day before and nurses only do bloods before lunch as they get picked up at 1pm. Should be ok though. I dont want to sound a mardy cow, but we really need lots of TTCers here, im feeling so left out im lonely these days !!! (sorry) {big sigh} xx

Dawn, I am getting the Fisher Price Jumperoo for DS as he has got good head control now and loves bouncing. (he's 12 weeks) Is expensive but friends have told me it is a total godsend!

Don't know how to do a link to it, sorry!

Been to the gym again, only done cardio today, too tired for weights !!!!

Hello all,

Ladies, I knew I could rely on you!!!

I am lurving the Rocking Horse Idea. I've just had a quick look on Ebay and spotted this one - another caterpillar!! "Look atthis page"

Also, we definitely need a monitor and a travel cot. We do have a baby bouncer, we bought an OBaby one, the only thing we have in Pink!! DH insisted that we needed something pink...

xxx

PS...CE... DH a little brighter today and got more sleep, doc says everything he could prescribe would slow the sperm, soon as we have done what we need to he will be back on the morphine, i dont know how he can go without he is in so much pain at times, he is currently hanging over the back of the sofa trying to get relief ...he copes well though xx

Hi everyone, another working day over...im not getting into your conversation after the highchare fiasco

I will book with nurse for CD21, it is currently CD23 but surely i can change it . Got achey tummy today and clearblue moved to high fertility today, we BD lastnight so then we will BD thurs,fri,sat to be sure then every other day for a week to be certain we have hit it, temp dropped this morning and saliva test is ferning....What more can a girl do !!! Im wearing 2 fertility necklaces, a fertility ring and a fertility bracelet to be over cautious LOL

Hope you are all well, and i want to join your gang this month !!! IYKWIM

Much love

D xx
