Thanks winkle best of luck with yours too. Really good idea to try and get the GP to tell him to cut down on drinking (she says as she clasps a glass of wine).

If I were you I would gestimate how many units your dh is drinking a week, it is bound to be over the recommended limit (before dd dh & I were well over the rec limit, aren't most people) so the GP will pretty much have to tell him to cut down.

Sorry everyone's having a shitty time at the moment. It really gets to you. I had a chat with pregnant best friend, I just can't actually see myself with a baby anymore. She said its my defences goin up, just in case and reassured me the best she could, bless her.

Last month there were bfps everywhere this month its all bad news. Sorry red, nicola and winkle that things are just shit at the moment. I'm glad they're looking at what's happening with u whenshewas. It's about time!

Don't think I'm getting any good news and its a local festival all weekend. Guess who's gonna be on the wine for the next 3 days!

NicolaHazel · 17/08/2012 20:44

I have wine too, When. :-)

Hope you get some answers from your tests. You too winkle.

I worry about H2B's drinking. Not that it's excessive, but it can go over the recommended level. Though this last month he has had far less. Which means that if I'm not up duffed prior to the wedding, he will have super sperm by then :-)

Thank you to everyone for your kind words and support. It means a lot. Xx

Enjoy the Wine RIBS and Nicola. Best of luck with the wedding plans.

I had a small tow with DH Sad just a bit snappy today. He managed to pacify me and told me it'll be ok. Just try to picture me holding my baby and it seems so unreal right now. Sad filling up on wine this weekend and going to be positive come Monday

Yes kitty I love blueberries - addicted to them.

Happy honeymoon wishful! Hv a fab time in Thailand xx

Row not tow!

winkle2 · 17/08/2012 21:00

It is def over the recommended amount !

winkle2 · 17/08/2012 21:03

I had a row with hub too. He was reading up about sperm and he said that he had read that cutting down on toxins would help and started harping on about free radicals. I said no it means stopping drinking and smoking! And he said there you go again, talking about drinking!!

Grrr if I keep going on about it why doesn't he just stop?!

NicolaHazel · 17/08/2012 21:04

Did he cut down as promised, winkle?

Weird to think I get married 8 weeks tomorrow. Scary! And exciting. Feels surreal.

RIBS · 17/08/2012 21:07

Wishful. One of my friends has just come back from there. She has had the best time ever. Have a lovely time. X

I know what u mean red, I think im losing sight of it happening. U start to lose heart and hope with it all. And I know what u mean Winkle about having all the sex for nothing to show for it. That's why I had a bit of a break this month, I was sick of it.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 17/08/2012 21:08

Wow 8 weeks is going to fly by. Are the plans going ok or is it getting stressful?

OP posts:
NicolaHazel · 17/08/2012 21:15

The plans are fine...we actually argued more about people not coming / not RSVPing. Now the deadline has passed, everything is OK again.

We have a few details to tie up, most of which will be sorted on Sept 15, as we have a meeting at the venue.

It was funny last week as my sister came up and we were talking about how we would do things on the morning of the wedding. It ended up sounding like when they're planning in Shaun of the Dead! We all mentioned The Winchester at the same time. :-)

I think it'll be OK though. Looking forward to being a Mrs.

kittykatsforever · 17/08/2012 21:22

Red, blueberrys are in the super 6 at aldi at the minute, 69p a punnet, how's that for money saving, they are really nice too
Nic, wow the next 8 wks will fly by you'll be amazed, it's mine and hubbies wedding anaversary this weekend, 6 yrs eeek!
This time last yr I was 9 months pregnant. Really hoped I would be pg again but i guess god wanted me to have a drink this year!!I had a row with dh tonight aswell, it must be this muggy air and the fact they are men

resipsa · 17/08/2012 21:54

Everyone - so much angst here today. I'm trying to think that nature inends us to reproduce (hence the excitement over freely available contraception in the 60s) so even if it takes a while, nature will have her way.

redstrawberry · 17/08/2012 21:56

Eeeeek sounds like we are all rowing with our men Grin I guess we are allowed to seeing as we seem to be doing all the worrying and analysing!!!

Making a mental note to visit Aldo! Thanks kitty

redstrawberry · 17/08/2012 21:57

Not aldo! Although need some new shoes Smile aldi and aldo it is this weekend.

winkle2 · 17/08/2012 21:58

Nic - he thinks he's cut down but I don't think he has. This week he was going to go out on Tuesday but I told him not to, he had 6 cans last night and he's out tomorrow. Too much for TTC I think.

Newbie2 · 17/08/2012 22:43

Whenshe when is your scan date? I had swabs taken last week, blood today and then I have the scan on 11th Sept.

winkle2 · 17/08/2012 22:55

Managed another dtd but in the back of my mind I think what's the point?!

woody17 · 17/08/2012 23:05

hi everyone

af arrived for me today. First one since mc. Feel ok about it - have had a tiny bit of spotting/brown discharge this week. I was so desperate to be pg but then I thought that if I am having this brown discharge, it probably means that my body wasn't ready for it. Hopefully this af will clear everything out and my endo lining can get nice and ready for next month. It also means that I will be able to scuba dive on great barrier reef and although I'd much rather be pg, I am excited about this. Hopefully we'll have lots of relaxed dtd on holiday and we might catch the egg.

woody17 · 17/08/2012 23:07

One question though - do you think I should count first day of af as first day of spotting or first day of there being enough to need a pad?

frustratedpants · 18/08/2012 00:14

I count from the first day it appears, but only have a couple of hours between first spotting and full on AF

kittykatsforever · 18/08/2012 06:47

I'm sorry woody but good that there is a positive side to, your surposed to count it from the first day you have a flow but it doesnt really matter as long as you do the same thing every month

woody17 · 18/08/2012 06:57

kitty what does it mean by flow? More than just when you wipe?

kittykatsforever · 18/08/2012 07:29

It means when it's heavy I surposed, I have spotting for a day or so so abit of brown and I class it from when I'd start using tampons or needed to usually the second day
