TTC #2 and turning into a nut job! Part 2!

[BartBaby]

Still ttc. Still nutty. Come join us

I hope everyone else is doing ok and having a good weekend

Hey ladies.
We are on our way back from a wedding yesterday. Feeling properly rough - I went a bit crazy with the booze and smoked a cigar too. Lets just say I made the most of not being pregnant! (Although there were a number of pregnant people there that I tried to avoid!)

Looking forward to getting home to ds - i miss him even though away just a day.

Don't worry bout no smiley yet on opks misshooha that's usually around when I get mine and I have a short ish cycle (c 25 days)

Muzzy - how are you? Hopefully feeling a bit better.

Bart - I would be the same if I was preggers - on perm knicker watch for blood too as well as POAS to check its still there. I think you should get that itching checked out though

Better go - writing in car making me feel sick nothing to do with my immense hangover

Well af has turned up 14 days late!!!

So back to cd1 but at last I'm saving on opk.

fedup how is your hangover?

bart get that itch checked

How random stone! Is it a normal af too? Really strange. Have you been stressed? Other than with ttc as that can really mess up cycles.

Hangover pretty horrific. But am home now and after his nap DS gave me the bestest cuddle. Love him. I'm now eating my way through my third packet of crisps!!

Evening ladies.

Had a fantastic weekend - really took my mind off everything. Sucks that its Monday tomorrow!! fedup sounds like you had a good weekend too - I would've done the same! stone that's very random. Hope AF goes soon and you can start the fun part of dtd!! bart what fedup and stone said!!

Hey peeps, promise im not ignoring you! I have been checking in and lurking where I could, and every time I was going to write on here either someone would turn up, ring or we would have to go off somewhere! !! Trouble is there has been loads of posts so I cant write back to reply to all :0/

Fedup, glad you had a good time at wedding :0) its nice to take our minds off the current pg stuffs for sure.glad you enjoyed having such a wonderful welcome home hug from ds it makes it thousand times better to gey home doesnt it!! :0)

2be glad you have had a good weekend too, its good to have a distraction isnt it! :0)

Stone, thats very late but at least you know that bod is still working all fine and that af just forgot to set her alarm clock this month! ! It could be that your body is preping up and having a good clear out for a better month chance wise this cycle? Hope af doesn't hang around too much and you can get back to dtd business!! ; 0)

Muzzy, how you feeling?

Bart, where is it itchy like all over skin or just certain areas? I get bowts of nausea, little twinges and cramps, boobs still achey, still not taking anything for granted thats for sure!! Dont know how far gone I am as not one of my cycles were the same length looking back at my diary!! How you feeling today?

I have missed loads of replies I know :0/ how is everyone and what stages are you at in your cycles??

*ttc stuffs (duh me!)

piglet 5 nights in a row!! You must be knackered! That so deserves a bfp!
hooha did you get your +ve opk in the end? I'm going back to using them this month, I think I'm better when at least know I ovulated!
Good luck 2be did you manage cd15 in the end?

geta any tips with the preseed? I've heard too much can mean a poor performance from dh?!

Glad you had fun at the wedding fedup. I also had far too many drinks and ciggies Saturday night. Was just what I needed and am feeling better than I was at the end of last week! Pissed off that dh is going to be away again this month when I ov though! I'm starting to think he's doing it deliberately to avoid my crazy behaviour!!

waves to the preggers people and sorry if I've missed anyone.

Yup - too much preseed caused performance probs one eve! If you use th syringe things then I say no more than up to the 2. It goes up to 5 and there is no way DH could perform if I put that much up me!!!

We tend just to put it on dh's equipment to use as lubricant when I'm not that up for it. Syringe comes out when I really don't feel like it!!!!

Thanks muzzy! It is 6 nights in a row now. We are both knackered and I think that is our limit!

I really really hope I ovulated yesterday on day 16. Not had a massive temp rise this morning but I had disturbed sleep so maybe this affected it. Are there any other signs of rising progesterone? Like spots or anything else? I'm a bit worried I'm not actually ovulating....I know nothing can be definite except a blood test. Might have to try and see if I can be booked in for one.

Fx now for 2ww...

Hi all!

Please you had a corker weekend 2be and fed up - although ouch on the hangover! Being chilled can only be a good thing but as always easier said than done, so yippee for getting on the vino and embracing the weekend.

Stone pleased AF showed up - and u can get back to working through all of the stages of the cycle, each one as nuttier as the last.

Piglet - wow! I'm impressed. It's a hard slog going at it night after night!
Have u managed to, ahem, get to the big 'o' too?

Me and DH were discussing whether it is necessary for me to 'O' as well, as frankly sometimes I can't be arsed. But decided this month to try and enjoy the process a bit more, so I've been rising to the challenge with a big of mechanical assistance!

Muzzy - I got high fertility yesterday so have decided I love OPK's! To POAS and actually see something positive was too exciting..... Although I forgot to do it this morning but will get a 'deposit' tonight as imagine it will be high or peak tomorrow. DH has actually got the flu but too bad, he'll just have to endure the burden. Ha! I shall be peeing on a stick tomorrow to make sure I get my smiley high.

Have a lovely night everyone, is anyone nearing the end of the tww? Hoping we get a few more BFP's this week! X

piglet you and DH deserve a medal for that effort! Although I suspect you'd prefer a BFP!! Fingers crossed! Have you thought about when you'll be testing? Are you a 'wait for AF' kind of gal or a POAS addict?

muzzy we did indeed manage cd15 too. I don't actually know when I ovulate though - its all very random!

Well done piglet! Good going. I'm about to embark on my shagathon this week.
Things are a bit weird down there though. Thought my period had stopped but today had cramping again and took paracetamol, pain was partic on left side. And felt sick and dizzy (could still be hungover I guess). And then later today I felt more blood come out and it's really black. Is this normal, anyone else get this? I though perhaps ov coming early but hardly any line on opk. I'm only cd6.

Ps miss you made me laugh with the O talk. I Sometimes always just want DH to dtd and let me sleep! But I usually get in to it and most of the time reach O. But that's usually at the beginning of the shagathon. By the end it's "please be as quick as you can"! Ha ha.

Well done on dtd everyone! It sounds like you have all put in an amazing effort. You really do deserve your bfp's

abi hey (waves hello) the itching has only been on my boobs and my tummy. It was worse when the weather was really hot. So i think that has a lot to do with it. Its been ok for the past few days so i will see how it goes this week and go from there. Apart from that ive not been sleeping great but im shattered all the time. Still sore boobs, occasional waves of nausea, and lots of dizzyness if i stand up too quickly. But i love it all! Ive ran out of tests now so wont be doing anymore until i buy some more im seriously considering a private early scan. Its £100 so its quite a bit for something i will get in a few more weeks anyway. But i want it sooner!! I want to know everything is ok. Trying to convince dh its worth the money

Ha well I did manage the odd big 'o' this week (but quite honestly I I wold rather have a BFP!). Know what you mean about wanting it to be quick on occasion rather than take a long time... D deserves a medal though this week.

Not sure when I will test. I'd like to try and just wait until when AF is due, which I think will be sat 17th. Have driven myself crazy by poas from about 10dpo and getting bfn.... I might try and wait this month. Nothing I can do either way. Although we managed to DTD a lot, I am not massively hopeful. Just feel like it isn't going to happen for us any time soon. Sorry to be so negative....just a bit fed up with it all!

Bart - glad you are ok and completely understand about wanting a private scan for peace of mind. Hope you can convince your Dh!

Hey all!

Muzzy glad to hear you had a chance to relax and over indulge too! It gives a well earned break from constantly thinking about ttc which can be really beneficial :0) hopefully you and oh can get some dtd before he goes away, how many days before you ov does he go away?

One, look at you go on the dtd sessions, fx here that it has all paid off and that af doesnt turn up! Try not to feel down about it, you never know until af arrives (which I am hoping it doesnt!) I decided to keep myself busy till af arrived, tried to make sure I didnt think about it too much although as a fellow nutter its ok to a bit it seems to have worked in my favour so far so keeping all my fx for you, and all who are on this thread.

Miss, so totally 'o' if you can, it really does make it even more worthwhile, and I think it helps with happy endorphins which could create a good environment for a sticky bean!! :0)

2be, glad you managed to get a good amount of dtd too this cycle, keeping all my fx crossed fir you too, when id af due? (Although lets hope the witch doesn't turn up!!)

Fedup that made me chuckle about tge beginning and end of cycles etc I so get you on that, starting off with great gusto then its like "come on, hurry up and finish filling me with baby making swimmers!!" Lol!

Bart! Hello!waves back Bit quiet on the other thread huh?! I wonder where they have all gone to, hope they're ok?!! Gosh, I tell ya if I could afford a private scan I would jump at the chance so if you can get it, I would do it if I was you!! ;0) do you mind me asking, what does the itching signify? I think the hot weather certainly doesn't help , glad its calmed down! Have you had a booking in appointment with m/w yet? I have docs wed, then they refer me to m/w then I am gonna ask for dating scan. Feels like ages away, I really want to get a couple more tests just to double check everything is ok for now yep still feel nuts I have the sore boobs waves if nausea and the dizzy spells too. But I keep worrying that I'll have another chem pg. :0 ( I am shattered too but not getting to sleep till late (whats that all about huh?) I remember having insomnia with pg with ds but the difference this time as we have the dc#1 so I think from tomorrow night im gonna have to force myself to go to bed early, even if I take a book up to read!! (Still trying to get through the 3rd 50shades book!!)

How's everyone else getting on?

Hey abi forgot to mention the constant peeing aswell. Im normally pretty bad as it is but not im just even worse lol. Itching can be a sign of a liver problem then can develop during pregnancy. But its also common to have mild itching early on as the blood flow increases around your body. I think i was iust unlucky in having the mild itching in the ridiculous heat, which made it 10 times worse. It seems to have eased off now though so i will see how it goes. Was bloody awful though. I went to see my gp about a week ago and he didnt seem concerned. Just said if it gets more generalised to go back. I had to call the midwifes direct to make their appt. Its 2 weeks today, so i will be 7 weeks when i go. I think i might be supposed to be 8 weeks but the girl counted wrong not complaining though lol. Ive got my car mot holefully at the weekend. If it passed i might get to have the early scan. If it fails i wont lol. So will have to see how that goes first. Dh actually asked if ive been thinking about names the other day ive been looking at names and prams and baby stuff constantly for the last 4 months! and just realised Abigail shortened to Abbey/Abi is on our girls shortlist

Hey Bart!

Yep the peeing bit for sure is on my list! ! Feeling a fair bit nauseous this morning actually which made me feel better in a sense because I was starting to panic that I wasnt pg anymore, might have to get a couple more tests just to put my mind at rest, does that sound stupid?? That itching doesnt sound pleasant at all!! Glad its calmed down, I didnt know thats what itching signifies!! Oooh lets hope that your car passes the mot and you can get your scan :0) the beginning bit always seems a bit unreal till we have a scan doesnt it!! I dont know how to work out how far gone, how do they work it out if your cycles are longer or shorter than 28days? When was your kast af again?

Awww yayh to the name, I like it biased I am my first and second names I love my mum picked well, Abigail Anya, Anya being a family name :0) lol bless your DH! Ive been thinking about all sorts really, I really want a scan so I can rule out twins or not first!! I hope I can get a dating scan soon!! x

Morning all the nutty ladies, how are you all this morning? :0) x

My last af was on 2nd july. So ive just been counting from there. Makes it 5 weeks today. I think they will just go by last af for now and then maybe change it slightly when you have your scan. With my ds my edd was 4th july. Then at my scan (which i had to wait until 14 weeks for) they changed it to 1st july. With this one i think it will be based on a 28 day cycle and edd of 8th april. But i normally have a 27 day cycle so i think the real due date might come forward a day or 2. When was your last af? Do you know roughly when you ov? How long have have your last few cycles been?

I dont think you are nutty with the tests. Ive done a few aswell well maybe we are a both a bit nutty, but thats why were here its reassuring to do them. I dont remember feeling this was last time though. I did 4 tests, then that was it, i was pg, and assumed everything would be fine. And it was.

Yeah ive been doing the same which would nake me 6+3 today as my last af was 22nd june. Apparently everyone has a dating scan earmarked for them, they just don't give that info away freely! ! So im going to request one anyway as there's only two answers they can give! ! My last cycles working back from the last one to jan have been: 31, 30, 36, 27, 30, 23 think I ov around cd18 according to the nhs calculator which is when we dtd. ; 0)

I know what you mean about the first time round, I only dud 2tests and that was it, and he was fine!! :0) this time ive already done 5, and im going to do one thus evening too after Ive got the tesco tests well would be rude not to grab them whilst getting bread huh I think its just for reassurance as I have the dics tomorrow as well!!

Hiws everyone one this fine sunny day? x

Ha ha lol I meant docs not dics!! :0D

Looking at your previous cycles then and on the basis that you dtd around cd18 i would work on the edd for the 28 day cycle for now, but it might get put back a couple of days when you have the scan. Although im no expert just my strange logic.

I had a look into the scans on the nhs and it says they notmally do 2 scans, and the dating scan is normally done between 8-14 weeks, so if you get it early then might not send you for your 12 week one if you have already had it. Might be worth asking the doc tomorrow if they agree to an early scan, if you will still get the 12 week one? I suppose its like a lot of other things with the nhs and it depends where you live and which doctor you get!

Need to vent. Just been told my sil is having a boy (had their 20 week scan). She is already crowing about having 'the heir' in the grandchildren - ie the first boy! Dd is pil's only other grandchild.

No one knows we are trying for another and finding it hard but even so, what a really odd thing to say - in this day and age! She is someone who would not describe herself as a feminist....

Grrrr. Sorry, just really angry! She is a very self obsessed kind of person and has been weird with me especially when we had dd. now I think she feels like she 'has got one over' on us in some way by having a boy! She obviously doesn't know me very well as I just wanted a healthy baby (and still do) and was never bothered about a boy or girl.
