July/August baby threads, where are you now? Wishing, Sunnydale, Homeinthesun, Headfairy, Bubble, etc..

Hi Ladies! Not sure if any of you remember be but I was on both the July and August threadsd. Sorry to see that so many of you are stil TTC but I am sure that all this sunshine will bring lot of happy BFP's with it. Huge congrats to Wishing!

I got my BFP at the beginning of January and will be 15wks tomorrow. I would like to say that it has been wonderful but the first 12 weeks have actually been incredibly stressful with bleeding and blood test results etc. but thankfully all is fine now. When I first joined MN a very kind lady on here sent me her OV sticks as she no longer needed them. I have quite a few cheapie ones that I am now haoppy to pass on if anyone would like them. If so please let me know and I will give you my e-mail address.

Take care everyone.

Hi eveyone! i can't wait to get home, its so lovely! think I might make my neighbour share a glass or two with me in the garden this afetrnoon.

bubble you and I are cycle buddies (for now at least) I am going to follow a slightly modified DP, if we start on CD10 then we will be exhausted by the time i OV on CD27... going to use OPK's though (boots have £5 off clearblue btw!). Going to see what the Dr says, but definitly more BD'ing this time, it was hard last time as DP wasn't really up to it, but this time there is going to be no stopping us!

I am also really annoyed, I emailed my brother on sunday about sorting out a present for my fathers 60th and he still hasn't replied, he hasn't really spoken to me since Nov when he told me he and SIL were expecting... not really sure what I should do about this, he was totaly insensitive so i don't feel like doing all the running, but you would think he could at least bother to reply when I write to him direct

I'm working this weekend too bubble

Good luck with DP. I never got to grips with bding on cd8, I never feel in the mood... it's too early and my hormones aren't pumping yet

Hey girls,

hope your all ok.

ds2 and i are enjoying the sunshine playing in the garden and on the trampoline. im going out tonight with some mums from the school so slowly making myself look human. (that will take all day)

sorry for those of you at work. It is supposed to stay nice this weekend so you should get to spend sometime out in it.

Anyone due to test soon. i think our thread needs some BFPs soon.

AF has moved on and im on cd5. I have decided this month im going to follow the deanna plan. ive sacked the thermometer, its not reliable for me. i dont sleep well and wake every couple of hrs through the night and from about 5am onwards every 30 mins. it drives me round the twist. so this cycle im going to use the opks and bd as much as possible.

i hope you all have a lovely weekend and mothers day.

Perhaps you can put a picture of a sunny day on your wall, and I'll get a nice screen saver on my pc with a picture of the sun, just in case I forget what it looks like

Actually, I've got just over an hour til I can go and frolic in the sunshine so I'm counting down.... If you do find any jobs that are a) not stressful b)pay loads for part time work and c) are vaguely interesting do let me know cos i'm on the look out too I can currently fulfill only one of those three criteria.

Hello all

Yes I am extremely high powered! haha. Not really. Particularly since my heart is just not in it. I don't want to be a total SAHM but a part time job with much less stress but the same amount of money as this job full time would be great! let me know if you can think of one ah well - at least the client yesterday was totally hot. [fanning self emoticon]

isn't this weather totally glorious? My view is of a wall sadly so I am not doing much better than you head !

blue i hope you are doing well. Any symptom spotting? I am sitting on my hands today to stop myself from texting a very close friend who is waiting for results from her first iui. I really hope it's worked but don't want to be in her face about it so just have to sit and wait.
wishing please please keep us updated about your how-far-goneness
bubble, girl , jelly , suzi and issy I hope that you are all in good sprits and are making the most of the nice weather. Who knows when we'll have it again?!

it is weird how we know about each others cervical mucus but really very little else isn't it !!!

Wow wishing, you've just achieved what we all dream of, skipping through the crapola and jumping straight to the blooming second semester. Well done Hope you are most definitely at week 13, you're going to start feeling kicks/movements in a few weeks which is the best most reassuring thing ever.

my fingers are still crossed suzi, hope you don't see hide nor hair of TEW.

blue perhaps we should swap cars because I'd prefer a silver one if I had the choice. Hey, maybe you're right about the whole fertility indicator, although it might mean twins after all

ooh sif Are you a high powered lawyer in your power suit and serious look? I've realised I don't really know much about you lot beyond who's got babies, who wants more babies (all of us ) and how often we have sex Hope the trip to the cop shop goes well.

I hope everyone else is well, enjoy the sunshine to day. The weather map didn't have a cloud on it this morning so I guess we're all in for some. I'm in a dark windowless office so I'll creep out, mole-like blinking in to the sunshine at lunch time

xx

oh wishing - how great would that be if you are 13 weeks and got through the '8 weeks from hell' wait that is bfp-12 week scan - holy moley!

Thanks bubble for the advice re Agnus castus, I will look into that! and how unbelievable of that woman, people say the stupidest things sometimes, good on your sister though!

wishing, really hope you are 13 weeks already, that would be fab!

its so lovely and sunny, and DP and I have a free weekend coming up, as we are so far from ov time we can just relax and do what comes naturally hopefully the sun will continue to shine and we can get the garden sorted out!

I just lost a post - how bizarre

anyway it just said wishing you are so lucky to be so far along already!!!!! and to not have ben scared by the bleeds in the knowledge that you were preg.
no waiting anxiously to get to 12 weeks!
amazing.

I'm so happy for you.

hey wishing im glad things are going well!! I take it you are still not sure how far on you are then? and when will you find out for sure??

well af was due to show her ugly face today but she has stayed away so far... im getting all the signs that she is on her way... but im still hopeful!

Power suit - check
hair in bun - check
serious look - check

yup - i'm ready to rock

ps i think this volvo thing is hilarious - so random!!! My first ever car was a ginormous volvo saloon - it was supposed to be indestuctrible but I crashed into a titchy clio which received a wee scratch. My monster was totalled but it was very old - so not trying to freak you out.

They are impossible cars to break into btw. Aged 17 i was forever leaving my keys in the ignition and then shutting the locked door. The AA took hours to get into it again! which only really mattered the time when it was parked in the middle of the road outside my parents house with very loud music blasting out from it at about 1am - was not veh popular

anyway - i digress. must get my toxic arse back into work mode.

ttfn
xoxo

Hey sif! Hope you've got your power suit on

hey ladies

how are we? Bubble that women was soooooo insenstive, i would slap her! Looks like your sister said it all though, i dont kjnow how you kept so calm, some people just really dnt think at all do they!

welli have everything crossed that you get lucky first!

Suzi how well are you doing hanging on, your will power is amazing! how late will you be on sat?? im trying to catch up with this thread but i find it sooooo hard it moves so fast and i only get chance to log on 1/2 a week!

I love being a mummy, hope your feeling a bit better and if you cant rant here where can you rant!

Love to you too izzy not long to april now!

And rip sorry your feeling down hugs coming your way! xxxxxx

Jumping you seem to have a plan, sounds good! try preseed too, it worked for me and the reflexology!

though was speaking to the girl who did my reflexology today after went to docs and she thinks when she thought she felt a blockage that might have been the bean! this is following dr and midwife thinking im 13 weeks? can they really be so sure from just feeling my tummy?? i thought i was about 6/7 Do you remeber back to start of feb when i had a really light bleed, that i presumed was af, dr thinks it might not have been! so i have a scan next thursday! it still hasnt sunk in and i know this is going to sound ridiculous but with all the hormones flying around you dont always just feel happy when you get your bfp, i have gone from laughing and being extatic to been in floods of tears since monday! DH says you can never satisfy a women bless him!

love to all im sending you lots of sticky thoughts and bdust all round girlies

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

another PC malfunction

x posts BSS!

I have got a big case on, and i am off to the copshop this avo.

Isn't the sunshine AMAZING. And totally agree about the buds. It's a sign! It's a sign!!!!

oooh Head we were swithering with the black too but the silver was the showroom's one hence we can get it on Thurs so DH just went for it. Lets hope they're fertility omens .

Suzi - how are you holding up?

Jumping good to hear you got the all clear at the docs

sif - how are you, been a bit quiet n the sif front this week - have you got a big case on at work [intrigued emotion].

Its sooo sunny and lovely up here today and my flowers are starting to come out in the garden - its all very symbolic - flowers budding = fertile ladies

Hi all....

bubble do you want me to come and slap that woman? What an arse, especially as you'd just told her you'd had miscarriage. Oh well, just hope karma gets her and if she does get pg she gets a nonsleeping non eating baby to freak her out.

suzi well done at holding out for so long, I'm very impressed Good luck for when you do test.

Issy My worst fear was having twins first time out too, I guess the reality is you're just glad to have healthy babies and you cope but I can totally understand your fear. To be honest there are times at 3 in the morning when you're holding a screaming baby that you think you can't cope with one but it doesn't last long, I imagine the same is true with twins, you find your routine and it all clicks in to shape.

blue our volvo is black. As we're buying an ex demo we didnt' get a choice. I was worried it might look a bit like a hearse, but it's not too bad. It's shorter and a bit sportier looking than the v70 so the hearse associations aren't so bad.

I hope everyone else is ok... i'm off to work out what the hell to do with the pigeons on my roof... have a lovely day all xx

Morning ladies- hope it's as sunny with you as it is here (for once!)

bubble I'm outraged but that woman's comments, how can people be soooo insensitive! Hope you are ok hun.

Just posting quickly as at work and busy busy today- but I'm just back from my follow-up GP apt. All hormone, thyroid, blood count etc. tests came back normal And had an internal examination which showed cervix to be normal too. Relieved but still perplexed. GP is kindly referring me to gynae to have a wee scan just to check for adhesions in case that explains the early spotting (& could be possible since have had 2 emergency c-sections) but she thinks it's unlikely. So basically got to try to relax, keep trying and if no joy in a few more months then will have more tests (DH too then I guess). She said cycles do change after childbirth so maybe that's all it is. Hope so, but now just so so want a BFP.... Got to try harder I guess (OPKs definitely next cycle!) while trying not to obsess

Hope you are all well- Gateau good luck for your scan today, hope it's all good news!

Hey girls,

and at that woman's comments bubble but loving your sisters muttered reply .

oh Head your poor DS with MMR and caged-animal-in-car day yesterday, hope you and him had lots of fresh air and romps in the part today . We pick up our Volvo on Thurs - girly question - what colour is yours? DH has plumped for silver in the end..

Suzi - I salute your wilpower!

Issy - ah mother's, they always know what to say eh? There are twins all over my family too so who knows (eeek x 1000!)

Better go DS and DH are ready to come out the bath, toodle pip!

aw bubble that is so insensitive, that is a really low thing for someone to say! your time will come and it will be the most amazing time ever!!

sorry girl that was supposed to read... i phoned a medical herbalist when my cycles were incredibly long. since starting it they have reduced considerably each time.

wierd how whole parts of a post can disappear?????

Hey all, how is everyone?

sorry to hear your feeling down rip girl i hope the 4w pass quickly and/or the dr can sort something out for you? do you take agnus castus? i phoned a medical herbalist and she said that it can reduce cycle length?? i know some ppl cant take it but thought it was worth a go.

Good luck suzi
whenever u decide to test.

im feeling pretty low too. bils gf is due to test tomorro and has decided to wait til sat instead. i feel so and its making me feel like horrible person. then to top it off a woman i know in rl has just started ttc and she asked how it was going with us. i told her i had a mc last month and she said ' o wouldnt it be funny if i fell pg before you.???' i didnt know wether to laugh or cry. i certainly felt like crying and i was so angry that someone could be that insensitive. i didnt say anything but i prob would of if my sister hadnt said in my ear 'someone has to f*&% u first u horrible cow'

so i am feeling sad and hoping that this is my lucky month. i dont even feel like trying this month. iykwim. ive just about had enough.

god sorry to be so self indulgant.
