Lulu I'm rh- !
At 28 weeks pregnant u have an anti D injection, it stops ur body thinking baby is something bad and try to reject it, so the injection u have stops any of that. Then once baby is born Ull have another anti D injection incase any of babies blood is left inside u so then the Injection will stop ur body trying to fight off babies blood cells.
It's all fine tho :) I was told it's nothing to worry about at all. The injection does bloody sting a lot tho! But after having steroid injections....nothing is bad as that!

bradders85 · 11/05/2014 13:09

just catching up on the weekends posts - congratulations Lulu! :) cd14 for me and no smiley face on opk yet - was hoping to coincide with DP's return from working away tomorrow but he will be delayed so might miss my chance this month! :/

poppet85 · 11/05/2014 13:39

Oooh thats good to hear lulu thank you ! Now just to keep drinking the grapefruit juice !! Oh and shag !

MrsMck1 · 11/05/2014 14:29

Hello everyone, we're ttc #1 since Feb this year so thought I'd join in the fun. Took a couple of months to get my first AF but since then been fairly regular about 29 days so currently in cycle 3. Not using opks or anything yet but just an app, and in theory have ov in the last week. Dtd plenty so just a waiting game now :-). Af due on 22nd May...

poppet85 · 11/05/2014 14:39

Hello MrsMck your on the same cycle as me Iam maybe just a few days behing .Iam not using opks yet either .Iam on a regular 27 day cycle now so this is shagging week !! Fx crossed for 22nd may !!

lillamyy1 · 11/05/2014 15:50

Hi MrsM! You've definitely chosen the right thread - it's a good bunch here!
I'm just on my way home now on train after 2 week hols, pretty sure I'm ovulating right now so gotta dtd as soon as I get back. Bit worried that I won't be in the mood because I'm feeling reeeeaally grumpy! Always happens when I visit my mum! Even though I'm 30 she still tried to tell me what I should be doing with my life. Instead of being excited and happy for me that I'm ttc, she's now trying to convince me to move back to ner where she lives, even though there'd be no way of me being able to continue my career there. Had a bit of a go at her for trying to tell me how to live my life and then she went all sulky so left on a bad note. Aaarrgh!!!!!!
Sorry, rant over!!
Just have to try really hard not to take it out on DP...

HullKat · 11/05/2014 16:02

Hello, I'm here from 2ww thread, thought I'd join in and say hello. Looks like AF has got me today. Will be going into month 3 of ttc. Hope everyone is well Smile

I find talking about ttc with mum friend sister is so hard - I'm not sure they understand they both didn't have to try - glad I found this thread it's so good to be able to talk to people going through the same things!

Ducky23 · 11/05/2014 17:19

Wow I missed a lot today!!! Grin

Hello to all the newbies and good luck with your BFP's! You are Deffo in the right place!

Aww lil I'm sorry you had a rubbish visit! Try and not take it out on DH, you need him for this journey! Wink Just try and put it out your mind for now, or take your frustrations out on DH in a more positive way WinkGrin what makes you think you ov today? Was it cm? Opk? Good luck!

poppet85 · 11/05/2014 17:31

I told mum we were thinking of having a baby this year she said "well you can hardly have one by christmas unless your pregnant now" not really the excited caring response I was hoping for !! Think it must be a strange and worrying time for our mums just as it is us !

LuluJakey1 · 11/05/2014 17:37

lil that s what mum's do- know best. Mine was still telling me what I should do the night before she died. She used to say 'If I was you I would...' and I used to say, ' Well if you were me you could do that but you're not so mind your own business' (in a nice way) and she would laugh. Wish she was here today. She so wanted to be a grandma and she never put any pressure on us.
Just do what Ducky said and divert all your energy into dtd with DH. Smile That woman who made herself have sex every day for a year with her DH said even when she didn't feel like it, once she started off she forgot her bad day.

psychicpaper · 11/05/2014 17:47

AF arrived the day we got back from honeymoon, so no honeymoon baby Sad

And next good time for TTC we are at the inlaws - looks like we will be back to our teenage sneaking around!

LuluJakey1 · 11/05/2014 17:51

Thanks bradders
Shock

Ducky23 · 11/05/2014 18:01

Aww sorry AF got you psychic Hmm hope you had a lovely honeymoon though! Grin

Me624 · 11/05/2014 18:23

Wow lots has happened since yesterday! Congrats Lulu!

No AF for me today, but trying to hold out a few more days before I POAS, it's so tempting though! I ordered a pack of 10 from amazon and it's like they're staring at me ...

lillamyy1 · 11/05/2014 18:57

Thanks girls - good advice Smile
Ducky - haven't used opks yet. Although there should be some at home when I get in. Just guessing from ewcm yesterday and from what fertility friend says!
Sorry about AF psychic - at least you can start looking forward to starting dtd again with your new DH!

Cupcake92 · 11/05/2014 20:24

Lots has happened today! Hello to the newbies :)
Hope everyone is well and working hard for those bfp's :p
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this month!
Just had DS's christening it was lovely but a long stressful day! We are all ready for bed haha!

Imustbecrazy26 · 11/05/2014 21:10

Congrats lulu!!

Well after a horrible first proper af I knew there was a reason why I was on the pill i am looking forward to getting back to dtd and only a week left till honeymoon so can't wait to relax and get down to making out honeymoon baby!!

Pshic where did you go on honeymoon? Sooty you got bfn!

Hello to the newbies!

Sorry to those that got bfn!

LuluJakey1 · 11/05/2014 21:26

Thanks M624 and Imustbe. It has been a funny day. Poured up in the north so not much doing.
I slept really badly last night- over-thinking and just shocked.Fell asleep after 3 and woke about half 6 with DH cuddled in behind me also awake.
Did another poas this morning incase first one was faulty.
We stood again in the bathroom, scared stiff watching it. Then went back to bed in relief and slept for a couple of hours. I don't know how many times he has said 'OK?' and I've said 'Fine'. We are just a pair of wimps today. Can't go on like this for 8 months.
He has had work to do - so have I but could not settle to it. Have spent evening on mnet.
Am now tucked up in bed with the cat and my ipad while he waits for MOTD on TV downstairs.

LuluJakey1 · 11/05/2014 21:36

Be honest, should I leave this thread now? I can't imagine you want to hear all this tripe about the details of life with me and DH as we come to terms with possible parenthood. Is there a rule that says once there's a BFP you have to take yourself to a different thread to share your stuff. I looked today but they were all about people being tired and sick. Quite depressing and not as nice as this one. But I don't want to upset anyone by rabbiting on about it all- I know how much you all want a BFP. And I will rabbit- DH will drive me mad, bless him!

Imustbecrazy26 · 11/05/2014 21:47

No lulu we said we would all stick together so you carry on!

We will all get our BFP at some point!

MrsPopple29 · 11/05/2014 21:52

You're very welcome to hang about lulu, gives us all a bit of hope I think... Smile

Cupcake glad the christening went well, was thinking of you today! (It's kinda weird thinking about how someone's getting on when you don't actually know them in real life!)

Crazy, the thought of 9 months with no horrible AFs makes the pain of childbirth totally worth it for me! Really hope you get your honeymoon baby :)

LuluJakey1 · 11/05/2014 21:56

I know everyone will get their BFPs. Then we can all start another thread together.

Ducky23 · 11/05/2014 22:03

I got my BFP and am staying here lulu! Smile stay stay stay !

Cupcake glad the christening went well, you have been busy recently haven't you! Grin

Imustbecrazy26 · 11/05/2014 22:06

Thanks mrspopple well I've already been through it once had an epidural though ha!

Think having af every month is worse then child birth. Me and DH have made some changes since last time we were TTC so means even more to me this time as dd is not his and he is an amazing stepdad I want to give him his own dc too!
