Let's make some May babies

The end of July is drawing near; SWI with DP hasn't been as frequent as hoped; and I've decided to err on the side of caution.

So. Here's a thread for anyone else hoping to make a beautiful May 2012 baby.

I am 27 and TTC #1. Been on pill for an age so unsure of cycles. Only been trying for a couple of weeks - the more I type the more I note my wild optimism!!

Anyone else who knows more about this business than I do? Please come and give me some hope that a May baby might be at all possible :)

I know what you mean milder. Mine has beardage too, so it stops somewhere under his jawline...then starts again somewhere below his collarbones and then pretty much meanders its hairy way all over the rest of his body! It's fine, I've got used to it now, but it was a bit "WTF, that itches!!!" to start with :o

I'm there with you with the nausea...but my stomach is unfortunately veering much nearer to the 'shits' end of the spectrum rather than the 'constipated' end which you're supposed to be at if you're up the duff.

I'm staying with a friend (as long as she doesn't blow me out) this weekend and I'm going to take a stick to pee on on Sunday morning if AF still hasn't showed up. She's not due until Tuesday, but she's been feeling like she's going to turn up since last Saturday, and as I'm confused, I thought I'd add to my confusion and distress still further by POAS! I'll never learn!

mildertduck · 19/08/2011 13:20

Oooh ooh ooh I wanna be like yoo-oo-ou and I had some very weird feelings in my lower abdomen last night while I was lying in bed reading. Can't really explain then but if normally cramps are sort of wide and tall, these were short and narrow. Hmmm.

Catsycat there's a GP at my practice who will tell you every time 'it's probably a virus'. I swear, you could wander in with your leg hanging off and he'd say it was because of a virus. I avoid him at all costs...

desperateoldie67 · 19/08/2011 13:33

Well I just had to take a wander round the office because walking took the edge off the feelings of nausea. However, I then needed to go into the loo and there was a smell...and I nearly threw up, and now that I'm thinking about it, I'm nearly throwing up again!

I always feel sick after I've eaten. Surely that's an arse-about-face way of it? I've been having what have felt like AF cramps since 8DPO too. What's the betting AF turns up at the weekend?!

Kveta · 19/08/2011 13:37

well, I have all the willpower of a dog in a butcher's shop, so POAS this am. and got a BTBSP! (that's 'barely there but still positive' :o) it's still a bit early to test, but the line was very definitely there (DH checked too!) - so will be POABOS next week if all goes well to check exactly how far along I am.

and am now on the folic acid etc and able to ascribe my nausea to something real :o DH is strutting about looking proud which is nice :o

now just 10-12 weeks of paranoia every time I go to the toilet, if last time is anything to go by...

Kveta · 19/08/2011 13:38

oh, and desperate olide - i never suffered the constipation stuff last time, was most def at the other end of the spectrum... so it may be a +ve sign :o

desperateoldie67 · 19/08/2011 13:52

Ooooh how exciting Kveta! Congratulations! Fingers crossed for you this time xx

I keep nearly throwing up...waves of bloody nausea. But then I just spoke to my friend's son on the phone and he's been feeling on and off nausea since yesterday evening. But then as my friend here at work pointed out, I've been feeling like that since last Sunday! Bugger. I don't like feeling sick. It turns me into a moany old bag! :(

My upset tummy may be related to the food I've eaten for dinner the last two nights - roast pork dipped in mustard with a side order of pickled beetroot on Wednesday and spicy couscous and half a tin of chilli kidney beans last night! Mmmmmm LMAO! :o

HeidiHole · 19/08/2011 13:54

Well I'm absent for hardly any time at all and it's all happening here!

cosmic WELL DONE! So happy for you and jealous

Nice to see you back rusulka you sound so positive and "go-get-'em" it's fantastic!

Sounds like we have a few POAS sessions coming up to look forward to, a few ladies with suspicious symptoms! fingers crossed.

I'm on CD11 and just started yesterday peeing on the OPK stick (negative) so will keep doing that everyday. Although we're already SWI obviously but more to check I suppose!

DH away for a long weekend and back Sunday night, when I WILL pounce on him and demand fertilisation!

ChocolateWindmill · 19/08/2011 13:58

UGH. Stupid AF turned up last night. In full force. stupid f**g b**h Angry

Very annoyed. But it least it means I can have a nice G & T after work today.

On the plus side, I could still just have a May baby what with AF being early, so I'm going to add myself to the bottom of the list again!

Rusulka I am going to take a leaf out of your book and make a plan for the rest of this month. Sexify myself, buy some pretty undies, light some candles and SW an much I as humanly possible! Grin

desperateoldie67 · 19/08/2011 14:02

Gah, sorry to hear that Chocolate. That sucks. Although the G&T sounds very nice :)

Bwahahahaha....I like the idea of you pouncing on DH and simply DEMANDING fertilisation Heidi

HeidiHole · 19/08/2011 14:03

oh my goodness kveta! cross posts there it took me so long to read all that i'd missed. Amazing news. Wow so many people are getting great news this is a lucky thread (i hope!!)

What day are you going to POABOS? I couldn't wait if I was you i'm so impatient, I can't even keep sticks in the house I just use them. My DH is like "you're peeing on money here" hahaha

HeidiHole · 19/08/2011 14:04

aw chocolate that sucks but you ARE STILL in the running for a May baby it sounds like :) Enjoy your drink tonight, the silver lining or whatever!

ChocolateWindmill · 19/08/2011 14:32

Thanks for the sympathy guys, I'm trying not to get too down about it! I didn't really feel very pregnant this month anyway. I don't know how to describe it, since I have no idea what being pregnant feels like!

So yeah, September is going to be the month. Everyone in my family (except my dad) was born in May, so I have high hopes!

Quenelle · 19/08/2011 14:40

Bad luck ChocolateWindmill Sad

Kveta congrats on your BTBSFP! When were you due to test? How early did you crack?

I went to The Asda at lunchtime, and it was only as I was getting back in the car that it occurred to me I could have bought a pg test. I wouldn't have though, I am afraid of tempting fate if I get too ahead of myself.

We're going camping on my AF due date (29th) so if I'm still in the game that week I will plan to test on the Friday when I get back. Unless DH's nose suggests there is no doubt, then I may test earlier.

Doh! Look at me getting all ahead of myself again!

Catsycat · 19/08/2011 14:43

Sorry about AF chocolate, but as you say, September will be your month :)

Excellent work Kveta!!! Very pleased for you :)

Heidi, wishing you luck with SWI!!!

DO67 having the runs is definitely a sign of pg! I had it last time and looked it up, and loads of people have had it during early pg!!!!!!! See, now I'm getting excited about someone elses BMs, which is just wrong, wrong, wrong!!!!!!

Is a horrible sore throat a sign or symptom - have had it all morning, and it really hurts :( (sore throats always turn me into a bit of a patheetic baby!).

Catsycat · 19/08/2011 14:46

LMAO at Quenelle's DH following her around sniffing... Has he elaborated on what is different, or is that too personal a question Grin???

desperateoldie67 · 19/08/2011 14:50

Positivity is goooooog Quenelle

STOP thinking about my BMs Catsy - you're right, it's quite wrong! But also quite funny! Awww crap, despite my BFN the other day, I can't help feeling that I really am pregnant - the nausea is the thing that's really tipping me over the edge on that one - in which case, I'm scheduling in my nervous breakdown as soon as I get a BFP! Then I have to tell the OH...oh this is going to be fun!

And yes, Catsy, I've seen plenty of things about sore throats and cold symptoms being a sign of pregnancy! Weird things, human bodies...

desperateoldie67 · 19/08/2011 14:51

That'd be "gooooooood"!!! Shit, my brain!

Catsycat · 19/08/2011 15:02

Hahahahaaaaa DO67!!! Have cleaned 3 toilets this morning, so all things lavatorial are particularly close to my heart atm!!!

desperateoldie67 · 19/08/2011 15:09

As long as they stay well away from my nasal passages, that's fine with me LOL! :o

Quenelle · 19/08/2011 17:15

Catsycat Do you know how your wee smells different in early pregnancy? Sort of like sugar puffs? I think I had that smell emanating from my whole body last time, perhaps it's the smell of HcG. Anyway, DH could smell it. He believes he has actual magical powers I think.

Oh and the runs and coldy symptoms are both good signs of pg, definitely

Rusulka · 19/08/2011 18:58

WTF?

I thought the witch was dead, but she snuck up on me earlier and bitch-slapped me with the ruby slippers. What's going on with my downstairs?
And what's the point of being sexificated if the road's blocked off?

ARGH!

ps. not ovulating.

Catsycat · 19/08/2011 19:43

Evil old witch! Tell her to do one.... You can' have done all that sexification for nothing!!!!

Catsycat · 19/08/2011 19:44

can't obviously

Catsycat · 19/08/2011 19:45

Quenelle, that's interesting! Clearly your DH is a wizard!!! Grin Hadn't really thought about the wee smelling different, but you're right...
