Waiting to TTC part 2!

Thanks for the info! Guess I should start on the vits now if we're planning for the end of sept. Makes it feel a bit real and scary! Also will look into zinc, but hb is sceptical about vitamins so I'm not sure he'll take them. Interesting fact nannyl

js sorry to hear you're feeling down.

Hey Bebe - funny that we both had really odd cycles this month, must be something in the air!!!

The chances of TTC earlier are about..... um zero! He's not going to change his mind no matter what I say. Bit irritating as it seems a little unfair that we have to do what he decides but as he is the one who is going to have to support me and the baby then i guess I don't really have much choice!! Unless we have an "accident".... but I don't think my conscience could cope with engineering that just yet.......

great stat nannyl - also not sure how long I thought they took to 'make' but am a little amazed that it's over 3 months!!!!

hello squirrel

ditto bebejones and i say that zinc is to give OH "supersperm"

and sperm go into production about 100 days before they "come out" so make when you start taking folic acid its a good idea for your partner to start taking zinc

morning ladies! Hope that you all had lovely weekends.

Bit gutted as AF arrived with a lot of pain on Saturday morning , she seems to have dissappeared now which is a bit unusual but I guess my body is just having a bit of a "funny" month.

DH was fab when I told him on Friday night (was a little bit worried about telling him to be honest!!) and said that whatever it was it would be fine. Bless. I had a bit of an emmotional weekend for some reason and had a good cry when we went to bed last night. Think it's just a combination of not seeing him and being miserable in my job and then the being desperate to TTC but not being able to. It just makes me a bit down and a good cry usually makes me feel a bit better for a few weeks!!!

I tried to explain to him last night how I feel about TTC. He is somebody who can never wait for anything that he really wants so I tolf him that it was like him really wanting a new bike (he is mad about cycling and owns 4 bikes already) but not being able to have it for another 2 years..... I think that helped him understand how frustrating it is but it didn't change his mind on timings.

I even pointed out that if we started TTC this month and things happened fast then it would fit perfectly with a lot of other things but he is sticking to his "we need to spend time together as a couple first" line and so I'll be lurking in here until March at the earliest

Nannyl and Bebe - very exciting that you are on the vitamins already!! one step closer to TTC for you both!!

Hi nannyl

I'm just wondering - when's the best time to start taking folic acid? I bought some but haven't started on them yet. And what's the zinc for? I'm a bit clueless...

i am having sanatogen.... but will switch to pregnacare conception for the month before we TTC at which point OH will have the well man conception tablets!

i think i'll stick with sanatogen when pg... my last boss had them and both she (and him) were doctors and they were clearly good enough for them...

lol

OH has zinc and he knows exactly what its for...

i think he has to take it with meals... have allowed him to start it from September (though he did expect to be taking it last week, after we had bought it together, along with my sanatogen pronatal vits ready for in a couple of months time. )

welcome squirrel

am Very excited as now its augast i am "allowed" to start taking my folic acid... which have been sitting in the drawer for a while waiting unti 1st Aug!

Yeah - will pop to the GP on Monday morning. They don't take calls or book appointments in advance unless you are willing to wait for 2 weeks to see the Dr!!!!!

Still no AF.
Did a test this morning and it was a BFN
Had some seiously odd dreams last night, all about getting a BFP and being pregnant. I must have woken up about 4 times and wondered if it was real or a dream. DH was laughing at me as I fell asleep really early and he stayed up reading. I started sleep taking and he thought it was hilarious. Aparently I kept saying "it's day one" "the cycle, it's day one!!" WTF?!?!?

Feeling utterly crap this morning. Like I may throw up at any moment but not getting my hopes up based on that as I have really bad IBS and a gluten intolerence and so ofter have days and week where I have horrible nausea.

Now in a bit of a conundrum, do I tell him that I'm late and risk freaking him out? or do I wait? Tempted to chat to my mum this weekend but not sure if that is unfair on him......

Hi all, thanks for the welcome

NMCB, guess we're quite keen, but it's a good time for us right now so don't see the point in waiting around! Hope the tummy bug goes away.

bebe I told HB that there'd be no babies without a honeymoon, so he got it sorted super quick! Think he's keener than I am

justshagging awww, what a lovely thing for your dad to do

oooooh - you'll have an amazing time on safari - My Dad treated my sister and I to one last family holiday a couple of years ago and it was the best holiday I've ever been on (except for my honeymoon!!!)

FMU is first morning urine (leart from stalking reading posts on MN. Aparently is has a greater concentration of HCG (get me and my acronyms!!!) and so is more likely to give an accurate reading. I've been using First Response tests so in theory they should have given me a BFP on the 1st day of being late but you never know.......

Thanks JSing I didn't have much in the CPS region tbh. Am due in the next day or so, so am trying to be patient and leave the clear blue in the cupboard. Can I ask what sort of test an FMU is?

Would love to take you up on that hot whiskie drinkie but I'm on sips of water today as I have a tummy bug.

Welcome and Congrats Squirrel. You're very keen looking to get knocked up so soon after getting hitched. It's well worth it though

Hello justshagging we're off to Africa on safari, it's going to be great!

Going to restart my exercise routine in preparation, it got a bit neglected during the run-up to the wedding. Plus I already bought some folic acid - now I just need some patience!!
