Riceicle Take no notice of Dr Google he knows naff all :) Fx this is your month!

Welcome to the new ladies!

I will take one of those frangipani cocktails thanks how nice do they sound!!

In a much better mood now I've been offered an interview with a very well known health provider... exciting! So that's 2 interviews in the couple of weeks after my BFP is due, which will hopefully mean if my BFP doesn't arrive in March I will have something to focus on like getting me out of this shitty place!

Still quite nauseous and a dull ache but 4dpo is still too early for symptoms isn't it :/

Amyyy27 · 25/02/2015 14:23

Hi Chasmere ! Did you find anything interesting? I don't take pregnacare but I know a few of the ladies here do

I think ZW has a lot more in it. I can't vouch for how useful it all is, but there's more of it. Got a pack of PC (his and hers Wink ) for this month, and will try ZW next time around (but hopefully I won't need it)!

Amyyy27 · 25/02/2015 14:44

No hopefully not! Oh I wish I could get my OH to take vits I bet they would do him a world of good but he is of the sort who think vitamins are a waste of money and don't have anything that you're body needs and doesn't produce itself... says he with the balding head Grin

Hey all, can I join? [Gets on and sits near front feeling a bit sorry for self.]

I got AF yesterday and my cycles are all over the place. I would think that my next BFP might be due around 25th March.. Stats are 31, ttc #2, cycle 3 of actually trying..

This month I'm going to have progesterone test on day 21 as my cycles have been so rubbish, so at least that might help with some answers (have had 3 periods since May, and pre #1 and pill, I had totally regular 28 day cycle..)

Anyway, hope everyone's going ok.. only a few days till the BFPs start rolling in!

victoria401 · 25/02/2015 15:18

No you don't need clear tubes for ivf, in fact you don't even need tubes full stop! As long as you still have ovaries! Although if you have donor eggs you don't need those either!

Oh and did you read the news few months back about a womb transplant from the mother resulting in a pregnancy?! Freaky....

GirlSailor · 25/02/2015 15:48

All this talk of gin when there is NO gin in my office... There isn't an emoji for this.

Wait, Wine I was wrong.

dojo123 · 25/02/2015 15:51

Sorry to all thoses who unfortunately been kicked off the Feb bus. But welcome to the March bus and hopefully lots of BFPs.
trying to distract myself that it's only 5 days until my AF/BFP is due and therefore could possibly POAS at the weekend, must restrain myself...

chasingtherainbow · 25/02/2015 15:54

Welcome to the newcomers. Flowers

Can I whisper something mega freaky that's just left me Shock

Just picked dd up from school. In the park and we are talking about being bestest friends. . Me.. minicashing and daddy best friends I say... and dd says "and when trixie comes I will call her baby girl (i sometimes call dd thst so nothing weird there) and then we will all be best friends" ...I asked her who trixie is and she says "when you go to the drs and you push the baby out your bum" (Hmm might have to consider some tame birds and bees talk) ..

Now here's the weird thing. It's not weird that she has mentioned a baby.. she talks about it alot. . But this is what's gotten me a bit weirded out. I have never told anyone other than dh, and only in private, and definitely not recently. . That if we had another girl I'd like to use the name Beatrix.

Obviously there is a rational explanation. Is there a trixie on children's telly or in a book? I can't think of anything she watches that does.

Anyways. It made me feel a bit strange.

Nomio230 · 25/02/2015 16:04

That is quite freaky chasing. I think children often pick up more than we give them credit for though.

When my sister was pregnant with her third, they didn't tell the other two, as they wanted to get to 12 weeks first. They were really careful to only talk about it in private. We went to visit & my 3 yr old nephew came trotting up to me & told me that mummy had a baby in her tummy! Me & my sister just stared at each other in shock.

chasingtherainbow · 25/02/2015 16:10

I'd just like to say I promise not to called my child trixie. I planned Bea for short!

Nomio maybe. But if I'm not (or even if I am) pregnant this month I'm still a bit confused as to why she'd just say something so direct like that. .she talks alot about babies as we've got new babies in our friendship circles and family members recently. . She knows we had a mc and thinks baby is in the sky as a star with her great grandad (she looks for them every night. It's bittersweet) it caught me off guard but maybe I just want to read more into it because I'm so desperate.

Nomio230 · 25/02/2015 16:20

It is pretty weird, that is for sure. I can see why it would shake you a bit.

vic I would just shove some tablets down his throat & hop on anyway! Or wear your slinkiest lingerie & seductively glide around the house until he can't resist. Wink

dojo123 · 25/02/2015 16:23

Just asked this question on the Feb bus but would like your thoughts too...

Just talking baby names with the DH via FB Messenger. Mainly because I'm not completely sold on Morwenna for a girl. Well there is another reason and that is the we want to have Gwen as the middle name but Wenna means Gwen in Cornish. Duh!
We're now thinking Lerryn for a girl. What do you think?

nightandthelight · 25/02/2015 16:25

Replied on Feb bus :)

chasingtherainbow · 25/02/2015 16:27

Ohh I love talking baby names :-D

What's your style/likes?

OP posts:
Amyyy27 · 25/02/2015 16:41

oh Chasing that's scary but so lovely! I hope its a sign for you!

The only name me and OH could agree on was Addison and that's what we decided to call our angel baby

dojo123 · 25/02/2015 16:44

Chasing I like Cornish, my family have only lived in Cornwall for 37 years where as my DH can trace his family back to early C17th. We want to do cornish first names but then incorporate some family name as a middle name.
What do you like?

chasingtherainbow · 25/02/2015 16:49

I love Addison Amyy!

I adore Cornwall (god I'm so identifiable on here these days!) My heart and soul are there and I get down as many times a year as possible.

I love pretty old names and dh likes flowery names so he chooses middles names. However I'd love to go for a cornish middle name next time. I love Beatrix and Bethany atm. (Beatrix lily, Bethany primrose are top choices atm. Stuck on boys.)

Amy Beautiful name for your angel baby.

Hairstylisttoboris · 25/02/2015 17:19

Woo hoo I'm on the March bus properly. I managed to get my international work trip pushed back to a later date so I can DTD at the right time!! In with a chance! Didn't tell them why those dates were no longer convenient. I think saying that 'I need my husbands sperm that week'wouldn't go down well here....

DizzyNorthernBird · 25/02/2015 17:29

chasing you are so preggers! Especially seeing as you've got the same symptom as me so that means I am too Grin. And baby. Weird feeling uterus gang.

Loving the aquarium baby, what fish do you plan to get for it?

I also like traditional names like Charlotte. I also love flowers for a girls name, lily, rose etc. don't really have any preference for boys. I'm not sure why though as I don't have any preference of what sex the baby would be!

DizzyNorthernBird · 25/02/2015 17:33

Here is my chart today. A further temp drop, although I had to get up for work at the ungodly time of 4am so today's temp could possibly be discounted.

Still a bit concerned that my temps aren't and awful lot higher than before ov, no sudden peak like most charts seem to show.

Can any charting veterans help me?

Goodness it's got busy hereSmile

Welcome newbies and good luck.

Juney, 9dpo! Not long until you can poas. I'm keeping fx for you.

Accupuncture was good but painful today! She's going to stop seeing me as often as she says I'm responding well. She's told me to eat more protein again! I'm a bit rubbish at eating meat, must try harder.
She's going to start seeing dp to try and help his sperm......they need all the help they can getGrin

Trixie, I take maca so I'll have a read up tonight and might add it to dp's pill dishGrin

spinningirl10 · 25/02/2015 17:44

Victoria, I'm mad at your Dh on your behalf! Every time ov comes round for you he seems to be sick. Definitely tell him to man up, it only has to be a quickie and he can go back to being poorlySmile
