blue yay, glad everything is ok.

moomins I have everything crossed for you.

fan How are the kittens?

No news here for me, just waiting on ovulation (cd 6), thats all we seem to do is wait. I am fed up waiting, I want to be pg now!

fanjodisfunction · 03/07/2012 19:04

blue Great news!

Sorry I have been a bit absent but with the kittens and other things Ive been a bit busy.
Im sitting writing this with Myrtle sitting on my lap, its taken 4 days but at last I have a lap cat, so Im a happy lady. Banquo is a bit more of a loner.
blizy I am with you on the waiting, Im so fed up of waiting for ovulation then waiting for AF, then ov again, its a horrible cycle to have to go through. I am waiting for ov myself, Im late but Im worrying now that I have missed it, but I know I havnt but I keep doubting myself. I so want to be pg now, I am so tired of waiting, and tired of people telling me oh it will happen, be patient. Well Im fed up with being pateint. Im fed up of things not going right. Ive been pg three times and no baby its hard to be positive and patient.

Sorry to put a donwer on things.

moomims will be thinking of you tomorrow.

Hurray blue!! Congratulations on a probably pink bump Grin. Love your FB announcement, that rainbow baby quote is so perfect.

fan aww how sweet you are getting some cuddles now. Really hoping for you and blizy to get your rainbows soon, you so so deserve them xx

Good luck moomins

Oh angel, you poor thing. Is it teeth again? Hope she likes her room tonight!

We have done insane tidying/cleaning tonight - our buyers are coming for a reminder viewing and measure up tomorrow, and we'd rather let things slide.... my wrists ache now. Freya was most intrigued, she's never really seen us clean like that!! House looks gawjus Smile

Whatevertheweather · 03/07/2012 22:04

Fabulous news Blue Grin Another (probably!) little sister for Ella I'm not surprised she's thrilled. You must feel like a huge milestone has been hurdled today?

(((Hugs))) Fan and Blizy it must be so flipping hard ladies, I admire you both so much and can't to wait support you through your pregnancies as you have supported all of us xx

Split hope the viewing goes well!

MiaAlexandrasmummy · 03/07/2012 22:14

blue delighted that this has been such a positive day for you. A little girl!!

fan and blizy I agree - patience, schmatience... c'mon eggs, time to co-operate!!

whatever it's coming closer, the date to meet your rainbow daughter. Exciting.

angel hope you have a better night tonight. I discovered with Mia that just as soon as she developed a sleep routine, it was time to change...

AngelGeorgie · 04/07/2012 06:21

Spilt hope all progresses with your house.. Xx no she's not teething at the moment just waking up..Sad last night she went in to her own room & only woke up once at 02:00 she had a bottle then back to sleep. Think we might give her a yoghurt for supper to see if that helps. She stopped night feeding about 3/4 months ago now it's re-started. It's so hard having to get up for work at 6 & us all getting out at 07:30 when we ve been up in the night. No teeth yet here!!! How many had Freya got? Xxx

AngelGeorgie · 04/07/2012 06:22

Miasmummy you re totally right once you think you ve cracked it , everything goes " belly up" !!!
Only today to work then day off tomorrow Grin

Bluetinkerbell · 04/07/2012 11:04

I picked up the courage to phone up the counselling number today. I could have had my first appointment next week, but it was with a man, so now will have to wait till end of August to see a lady. Not sure what to think now, should I have seen the guy next week?
Anyone experience with a male counsellor?

fan and blizy and all the other ttc ladies... wishing you BFP's very soon! x

MiaAlexandrasmummy · 04/07/2012 13:14

blue well done for making the call! While I have no experience, what about trying one session with the male counsellor if you feel you don't want to wait? I am guessing you could always swap over later. Otherwise, the end of August isn't so long to wait, especially if you have holidays booked or summer visitors coming to break up the weeks.

Whatevertheweather · 04/07/2012 13:53

I think mias is right blue go along and see how you find him. I think male or female you need to find a counselor you feel comfortable with otherwise you won't get the benefit from it.

I am sooooooo tired! My pelvis area is getting really really painful, almost like a burning pain and I can't turn over in bed so I'm not sleeping well at all. Really want to finish work now but am supposed to have another 3 weeks to go!

blizy · 04/07/2012 14:08

Wtw- can you take the 3 weeks off as sick leave?

Blue- I agree with Mia's, hope you are ok.

My sis had her 20wk scan today and is having a boy. Is it wrong to be so relieved that it's not a girl? I don't think I would have coped if it was a girl.

spilttheteaagain · 04/07/2012 14:15

wtw don't be a hero if you are in pain - can you get your GP to sign you off or onto reduced hours/duties for the spd and tiredness?

moomins hope you are getting good news xx

angel Freya has 4 teeth, they all just sort of appeared out of the blue over about 5 days, no real grief tbh. Just hope we are as lucky with the next ones! But wow to Phebs stopping night feeding so long ago! Freya still feeds quite a lot during the night, no sign of that stopping!

greengoose · 04/07/2012 14:33

Hi everyone, sorry I've been absent for a bit. DS only just gone back to school yesterday after hand injury, so have been busy keeping him company.
Monday was my ovulation day, so we have been 'very focused' on the task.... I hate what ttc does to the months, the roller coaster of maybe and then testing far too early and keeping testing till AF arrives. Hmmm. I really feel for you ladies who have been at it a while, I'm only on my second month after Merryn, and I'm desperate to be pregnant again...

BLUE, congrats on a girl!!! Sounds like the scan went really well... Unless you feel strongly about not having a male counsellor I'd give him a go. I spent time doing a course that had a lot of counsellors training on it, and the two male ones were lovely, I would have happily talked to them about anything. I'd give him a go...

FAN, glad at least one of your kittens has become snuggly! Bet the other will follow soon!

ANGEL, sorry your nights are hard work. Being over tired and having to go to work is horrible. Some food at supper time might help her sleep longer..... Both my boys were quite restless for years, so no advise really, sorry!

SPILT, yeh for tidy house! Our house has never and will never be as tidy again as it was when we were selling, but it's nice to see how it can be!! ( does last though)!

MOOMINS, how are you doing? Thinking about you today..... Hope everything's ok.

WHATEVER... Can you not finish work early? It sounds like you could easily be signed off for the rest of the time? Or maybe less hours? Have you got a lovely fat maternity pillow? I found them really helpful each time, (always had colicky hips and bad pelvis...).

MIA'SMUMMY, it's so lovely that you now have a little wriggly baby! I remember the first times I felt all of mine move, for me it's the beginning of believing there is a baby inside, far more than any scan! It must be so lovely for them being cuddled and warm inside...

I'm having a tough time. My mum is due to visit in two weeks. I've not seen her since Merryn. (complicated) but I know it's going to be really hard, and I will have to look after her for the duration. ( an example of the sort of problems we have is I phoned her last night and had a bit of a grumble that I had nothing to wear that fits to go to friends for meal. My mum suggested I wear one of my maternity dresses. She did not at all understand why that would be terrible. I despair. I just hope she is a bit sensitive around the boys while she's here....

greengoose · 04/07/2012 14:37

Bloody iPad spellcheck..... Split.... I was trying to say our tidy house DOESN'T last, and Whatever, clearly I had CLICKY hips not colicky hips!

Moominsarescary · 04/07/2012 14:46

Everything's fine, tiny little baby with hb. measuring 7+5 weeks x

spilttheteaagain · 04/07/2012 15:08

Grin Fantastic!!

Bluetinkerbell · 04/07/2012 16:09

Ok I might give them a phone call back then to ask whether I could change it over so I could see someone next week...

greengoose · 04/07/2012 16:12

MOOMIN, that great!!

AugustMoon · 04/07/2012 18:33

Yay Moomin Smile

Whatevertheweather · 04/07/2012 18:50

Great news Moomins Grin

Good to see you green Smile Fx for you this month x

How you doing now august?

Mechavivzilla · 04/07/2012 19:17

Hello all,

I have been getting some wonderful support over on the bereaved parent's thread which I am so grateful for and really does help.

We are slowing reaching a stage where we are hoping to try for another pregnancy. I think I in particular need it. We are not trying at the moment, purely because I need my gallbladder out and cannot be pregnant for the surgery! It has been a bit of a relief tbh to have the decision taken out of our hands for a while, but I am meeting the surgeon tomorrow and will hopefully have an operation date then.

So, may I join in here? What is the etiquette? Should I tell my story?

Thank you x

spilttheteaagain · 04/07/2012 19:42

Welcome Mecha, of course you may join us! I recognise your name but am not a regular on the bereavement thread anymore. Are you Dexter's mummy? Feel free to tell us as much or as little as you want to about him/you/your obstetric history or anything really. I hope we can be a good support to you. Ouch to a gallbladder op! I have to have a small cyst taken out of my shoulder soon and am scaredy enough about that and it's only a local and done by the gp Blush Am a wuss!

spilttheteaagain · 04/07/2012 19:51

Gah, sorry, forgot to introduce myself!

My first daughter, Bobbie, was born sleeping at 20 weeks in Oct 2010, due probably to a toxoplasmosis infection. I had my rainbow baby, Freya, in Aug 2011. She's now 10 months and walking god help us!! Currently having a strop because we won;t let her trap her fingers in the toy chest Grin
