Elderberry Pavlovas Unite - the over 30s TTC number 1

[Bunnygirlie]

Hi y'all, Welcome to our new meeting place :-) Let's refresh as usual -

Bunnygirlie - 32, married, TTC since June, due to OV this week according to app

And you're right hazle - until I see the 12week scan and all is OK I won't allow myself to get excited. Last time I was still cautious but relaxed when I saw the heartbeat at a private scan at 9-10 weeks. But now 12 weeks will be the time the excitement is allowed to begin I think...

quod that's heartening. Did you not have any symptoms then? When is the first time you did have a symptom? And how many dpo did you check?

questions questions questions

I run 3 miles, 3 days a week. However I am still technically 2 stone overweight with a BMI of 30. Whenever I say to people that I run they look me up and down and snigger.

Zombie - 15dpo now and still no symptoms! Boobs are sore but not unusually so.

Hazle - I feel quite 'so far so good' myself. DP and I are being very cautious about our excitement levels as we are both quite pragmatic about the statistics of MC at the early stages. We don't get scanned here til 12 weeks - so not for AAAAAGES. 2 months. Am trying very hard to be Zen and just take it in my stride, like I'm waiting for something in the post or something.

hazle - did I read that correctly? No anaesthetic if you're pg?! Oh no, I felt a hole aaaages ago in my wisdom tooth and have been meaning to go to the dentist (but have a bit of a phobia so have been putting it off a bit). Finally got round to booking an appointment, am almost certain I will need a filling. Please please please tell me you were joking or mistaken?!

No it's not that bad, my dentist just suggested we try without first, but promised to give me a shot if it's too painful, so I'm sure you'll get what you need.

Ah crap, why am I so useless. WHY didn't I do this before when I could have had loads of injections and maybe some lovely valium too...

Because you get dental treatment for free when you are pg Janey.

Yeah but if they can't give you some anaesthetics I'd rather pay... Hey ho....

Our little doggy is doing well Hazle, although I wish he would wake us up in the night instead of leaving us a present to find next morning We have employed some modern technology in the form of a dog-cam with a motion sensor linked to our phones so an alarm will wake us up when he gets out of bed in the night. Night number one tonight so we'll see how it goes.

Still symptomless at 5+5 apart from the very slightly sore nipples and lack of AF, which is pretty much the only reassurance I have that there's actually something going on

I have already spilled the beans to my nearest and dearest and a couple of people I'm close to at work. I figure these are the people I will turn to for support if the worst happens so it's nice being able to talk openly to them now. Also I am a terrible liar who wouldn't last 2 minutes trying to hide it!

my hub is brilliant. he started taking zinc but as the months have gone on, he's added wellman conception, insitol (good for cell production), vitamin C and pine bark extract (supposed to be good for morphology).

been a bit of nightmare trying to get him to cut down on the booze but it seems to be sinking in!

Thank god for the free Wifi!

DH just said that this cycle its going to be every day! I'm not sure I have the stamina for that! I said that every other day will do just fine but he wouldn't have it.

Ok, hopefully this works - not so great on MN via iPhone...

Quod - hope you get home soon!

Hats off to your DH pip! Does indeed sound tiring but sure it's worth a shot (if you can avoid cystitis and sore bits!). Hell there are more annoying things than having to DTD a lot (and I speak from bitter experience - was single on and off for five years, including a 12 month stretch with no DingTD at all )
