Trying to conceive thread Number 2

[dejags]

Hi Girls,

I thought I'd start a new thread the old one was getting a bit long.

I am feeling a lot more relaxed this month. We have been BD'ing but more for the fun of it than for babymaking. DH (bless him) has bought me a separate present for each the 12 days of Xmas - one a day. He has bought me some lovely things - which are very useful in "getting us in the mood"...

I am such a lucky girl!

Here's hoping Santa is kind to us all...

Chandra - it's now morning and she is still under observation. DD was delighted to have her best friend spend the night, although they were up at about 5am.....so so sleepy I don't envy her nights in her future! Her husband is home now and is picking up the little one after b'fast. Have a lot of little things to do today - was hoping ot be on the road by now, but not yet. Will let you know!

Hana, thinking of you this week, it's your due date I believe. Hugs {{{{{{}}}}}

Well I am nearing the end of the 2ww, af due Christmas Eve. 'Nice' present for me if it arrives, a great present if it doesn't!! Have had 11 days of high temps now, have had a mixture of feelings over this time and am not sure whether I am just reading something into everything of all the possible symptoms. Too scared to test early since I lost the last one at nearly 5 weeks but I am not sure I could wait til after then to test either. I was actually looking at the TTC thread of this time last year and I was waiting to test at the same time. Seems that it has been a long year and hoping next year will bring some reward, whether this month or next. Anyone else at the testing point over Christmas? Would be nice to see some good news during the next couple of weeks on this board.

Af came today - am a bit sad. OH well roll on two weeks . Also must stop bf as am sure its not helping matters!!!

yes quacks, it's the 26th. Thanks for remembering.

she had a boy and another boy!! They were 8.7 and 7.8 pounds so big little bruisers for twins I think!

Bloody Nora Hana!!! They are a fine size for a single baby nevermind twins!!

Was it a C Section or did the brave woman push them both out?

Fingerscrossed for you tomorrow! I really hope nothing happens IYKWIM.

Fingers crossed for all you festive pissy stick people.

I reckon New Years Eve should be our bd day! hurrah! We're going to have a half arsed attempt this month, so that I can enjoy my birthday at the end of January!

But then in Feb we begin in earnest! I read somewhere that if you have had abdominal surgery, you should see your GP if you haven't conceived after 6 months. I had an ovarian cyst out in April - so should I be off to the doctors?

festive pissy stick people - thanks for giving me a laugh festivisal!!
I'm still looking after my friend's dd (she had a section but at that weight I'm still calling her the Big Earth Mother from now on!) and the two of them are a bit friend-ed out right now and so am I - where's her father?!?!
And I hope no period too but likely not. At least being at the inlaws will keep my mind off things.
Anyone has good news for us?

I am fed up. Was all full steam ahead for ttc this week and DH has come down with awful cough..he hasn't been ill all year and yet Christmas week/ovulation week he is a mess! DS is also being hard work...asking for biscuits all the time and I am FED UP and want to escape!! Sorry..needed to rant! I have a slight cough but of course I have to carry on whilst DH gets to lie around getting waited on! OK he is worse than me but it is the principle of the thing..hope I get to lie around when I am ill!!

that's awful futuity....mabye he'll feel better soon? hope so for your sake!

Yep, futurity, I know that one, at the very end of our bd time, dh got a bad back so I probably missed the key day, however, day 29 of 30 cycle, no spotting, still got high temps, so hanging on in there just in case. Haven't tested yet though, will probably wait a few days more. Hope your dh gets better soon!!

Ooh, you could be in for a great Xmas bluestar, have some festive good luck baby dust!

Can anyone answer my question about whether I should go see my GP? Just six months seems a bit short, but then again if I've had surgery ...?

Sadly, Santa brought along the wicked witch on Christmas Day. My cycle length this month was slightly longer but as this month I have temped all the way through and kept a note of symptoms, hopefully this will help us conceive in January!

festivisal - I would definately make an appt to see your gp - it may answer some questions for you and put your mind at ease. Make the call!

hello everyone, sorry to hear about your unwelcome Christmas pressie bluestar We've spent all Christmas getting snuggly under the covers and now it is that long 2 week wait. As it is the first month we've tried, I'm not very optimistic, but I have to say ttc is fun at the moment - best sex life we've had since ds was born! Only hope it lasts once we get into the pregnant-or-not cycle.
sHANta, how was 26th?

Well we spent some of Xmas being snuggly but DH is still ill with awful coughing so I am leaving him alone until next month! Also got the 2 week wait but would be highly unlikely to be our turn this month.

26th was ok...we were pretty busy with family and staying with inlaws so not a lot of time for myself......but my period is now 5 days late and I am too scared to test. One doctor told me NOT to ttc until all results were back, other one said not a problem.....scared that if I am something will be wrong or go wrong. I know I have to get my act together and do a test, don't I.

good luck in the two week wait, that's the awful part ! Well, one of the awful parts!

test was negative

Oh sorry bluestar and hana.

Thanks for your advice hana. I'm off to see hv right now - would she be any help, do you think?

BD night tonight. Have some yummy bath massage oil and dp got some stylish new candles for me for Xmas ... it would certainly be the kind of environment that would make me consider fertilising an egg - hope his sperm think so too!(but then if they do, I won't be able to drink on my 30th birthday - so don't really mind this month)

Hana, bad luck.

Thought I would add the first message for this new year so heres wishing you all happy productive bd'ing for 2004 and fingers crossed (also lots of baby dust) that you all (and me!) get your Christmas wish this year!

Hi All

Happy New Year to you all!

Well once again it looks as if this won't be our month ...

AF hasn't arrived (due anytime from Monday onwards) but I have such strong PMS and other symptoms that I am sure it will arrive early...

Oh well - here's to next month.

Hope to hear about some positive tests SOON!

Happy New Year. Yes, lots of good luck ... let 2004 be our baby year!

Won't know for another week at least (I hate this waiting!) but I would be very surprised if I was. DH says he should get the award for the most fertile man in the world if I am pregnant due to the state of him (ill!) when we were meant to be..erm..at it!. He is better now of course..the week after I needed him to be 100%!
