Hi all
I didn't want to hop on a bus because i'm not really aiming for a specific month to have a baby in so i thought i'd start a general "trying to conceive a 2011 baby" and see if anyone wants to join me :D

I'm fine now. have been at work all day. threw up at 5am today though which the only thing I can put it down to is morning sickness.

Work know and I told my mum today (she really wasn't happy about it when I told her but I think she's coming round to the idea. she's just worried cos I couldn't cope with DS due to lack of support from ExP but current DP is very supportive and really looks after me even when he's had a 10 hour day at work). Work have done seperate risk assessment as if I am pg just in case cos there are quite a few hazards that you wouldn't normally get in a workplace.

unicorn good you are feeling better!

weimy · 08/02/2011 20:18

grr no sign of ov yet on opks and no matter how hard I poke my breasticles they are not tender:(. I will be so cross with my body if I ov at the weekend, I am away from DP Angry.

A low day today, I know this is only the third month but I'm so worried it might not happen and I don't know if I can cope with the stress of a long hall. Hmm

Summerbird73 · 08/02/2011 21:31

weimy i know where you are coming from, it took me 7 cycles with DS, after every AF i was in tears. I wont give you any platitudes, i just know where you are coming from Smile

unicorn good call on telling work, they need to know in case anything happens. which i am sure will not but good on them for doing a risk assessment. take care x

Iwish · 09/02/2011 12:33

Hi All!

Iwish 5+5 ! Yay!

fragglerocks · 09/02/2011 20:27

In answer to your question weimy I have NO IDEA where i'm at!!!! AF is due anytime between 7th and 18th (stupid irregular cycles!) Keep symptom spotting, have got quite a few but can't decide if i'm making them up or not! Did a test this morning, BFN!
Will test again on 14th is still no AF.
I'm on my 1st month and i'm going mad! (((big hugs)))

Can't wait to see the scan piccy iwish

Hope you get things sorted out soon unicorn x

Where's milly?? I can't wait any longer to hear about her test!

Waves to summer katee mslk Sorry if i've forgotten anyone!

Summerbird73 · 09/02/2011 20:28

iwish no sore boobies yet Angry tho i will be regretting it as i remember last time when DH tried to tweak a nipple (yes he is a perv) i screamed at him with the pain! Grin

waves to everyone Smile

weimy · 09/02/2011 21:03

ooh fx fraggle, I know this sends you crazy!!!

Hey Summer yeh I know but had ov'd by now last time and am away at the weekend, so having a panic Blush. lol at pervy DH :)

fragglerocks · 09/02/2011 21:40

Spoke to soon, AF has arrived Sad

Off to drink my body weight in wine and sob LOTS!!

Iwish · 09/02/2011 21:49

weimy you might very well OV in another day or 2. Mine varied but seems only a day or 2. Keep SWI until you go away and you should be ok. I ov'd on cd17 this time and SWI on cd15 and cd16 but not cd17.

fraggle I can't wait to see my little one, please will you make time go faster for me? :). Are you still SWI just in case your cycle Is one of the longer ones?

summer I bet you will get some symptoms soon but enjoy it while you havnt. The past couple of days I have felt quite sick in the evenings - keep eating yoghurts to make me feel better! Grin at him being a perv. My DP has stayed well away for a while Blush

Iwish · 09/02/2011 21:51

Oh crap bugger and arse fraggle (((hugs))). Have a nice Wine and some naughty food xx

mslk · 10/02/2011 07:48

Congrats Katee and unicorn

Glad appointment went well iwish

Weimy hope you ov soon

sorry af got you fraggle

Hi everyone else x

kateepie2 · 10/02/2011 08:25

Thanks mslk Grin

How are you getting on?

Iwish · 10/02/2011 08:54

Urgh I feel sorry for myself this morning. Have been off work Mon-Wed and am back in today. Feeling quite sick and tired.

How are you feeling katee?

kateepie2 · 10/02/2011 08:59

Hi iwish hope you can have a rest this evening. I'm tired too, didn't feel sick yesterday (which worried me) but is back there in the background today. Did another hpt as the last one (2 days ago) was still faint and its stronger today, so I'm guessing the sickness will truly set in when the levels are much higher. Not looking forward to that, especially as I will be moving from my own office into a shared one in 3-4 weeks. Its a lot easier when you don't have to keep suppressing it so it doesn't show. Docs appointment on Tues. How far along are you now?

Iwish · 10/02/2011 11:36

Oooh glad the line is darker today katee. It makes you feel better doesnt it. Not that I'm obsessed or anything but I've done 11 up to now Blush
have you actually been sick or just feel sick? I havnt actually been sick yet, so happy as I have a wired phobia of being sick.
I'm 5weeks 6days now according to the midwife, yey! How far are you?

Has a wierd dream last night that my DP arranged an 8 week scan and we found out we were having twins, a boy and a girl! Wierd or what!!

kateepie2 · 10/02/2011 14:02

iwish ha ha I'm catching up, poas once a day over the weekend, so clocked a few up, probably won't do another one until day of the docs now (well, maybe one over the weekend...)

I am 4 weeks exactly today, frightening early days! Keep taking my temp every morning and will keep doing so until 12 weeks is up.

Haven't been sick, just general background nausea. Heaved one morning after using the wrong toothpaste though, never again - its the corsodyl herby one, which is very salty.

Have you gone off any foods? I'm not sure about eggs at the mo, am on decaff tea too as normal just tastes horrid.

PG dreams... wonder if it'll come true!! Grin twins run in DPs side of the family, but I haven't heard of any in mine, so hopefully I'm safe Wink

Iwish · 10/02/2011 14:47

They are scary the early days, I'm still frightened to death now, just praying my little one is ok.

No I havnt really gone off any foods, well I have been choosing savoury over sweet. I keep eating to stop the nausea - this baby is going to be fat lol. I drink decaff coke, coffee and tea just to be on the safe side.

No there's no twins in the family - 2 would scare me Confused. Wait till you start having wierd dreams, it seems to be a symptom and I keep having naughty dreams but not about DP Blush

Have you thought of names? Me and DP thought about them a couple of years ago (we arent sad honest)

kateepie2 · 10/02/2011 15:37

That made me laugh iwish! I keep hankering after chocolate, never usually that bothered about it - and whereas I normally put loads of salt on my food everything tastes really salty already! Even had to buy salt and shake crisps last night!

There's a lot of names we don't like... did have a discussion some time ago. But we haven't settled on anything. I want to know if its a boy or a girl too, not sure if DP does... but would save a lot of second guessing!

xx

Iwish · 10/02/2011 15:53

I can't wait to find out the sex. DP isn't too bothered but will be happy find out to keep me happy Grin bless him.

Is your DP all excited? And have you told anyone?

Baby is having chippy for tea! I'm usually quite good and don't have much naughty food.

Xx

kateepie2 · 10/02/2011 16:14

Excited and worried! We haven't told anyone in RL yet, will tell family soon, after I've been to the docs probably.

I've had a couple of lots of chips recently too! Grin

Unicornlover · 10/02/2011 18:12

I seem to be having real problems with morning sickness and ginger biscuits seem to be making me worse. The other day when I threw up I had just eaten a couple of ginger biscuits to try and stop the nausea. has anyone got any other tips, preferably something healthy as I'm on slimming world?

With regards to telling work I felt I had to as I work in a charity shop in a semi-rural setting so there's no saying what could be on the donations and theres the risk of needle stick injury from pricing guns so I needed control measures put in place

mslk · 10/02/2011 18:39

It's so lovely reading your pg posts, hopefully I'll be joining you soon.

Just waiting for some fertile signs to start some serious SWI, but might start early just for fun!! Grin

Iwish · 10/02/2011 19:27

katee we told mine and DPs parents at 4 weeks as DPs mum was going on holiday (we were going to tell them after docs appt) and he was far to excited to wait another week and a half.
Is this your first and will it be your parents first grandchild?

Hi unicorn I seem to be having all frikkin day sickness! Luckily not actually throwing up. Have you tried oranges and orange juice? That's also supposed to work and does make me feel better. I've got rich tea biscuits too.

Big waves to mslk! let the early SWI commence lol! Cd9 now, when do you think you will OV?
You will be joining us v soon with the sick talk and sore boobies lol
