Three BFP's in one day?? Impossible? Not on this 'ere March conception buzz it's not!

[PurdeyBirdie]

S'true, we're absolutely awash in spunk BFP's this month! So if you fancy gaining three stone, refusing sex for ever twelve months, losing your marbles sight of your feet...then come and join us in our quest for a babby.

STATS LIST

Fifi how exciting!! Not so ideal on the sickness. Fresh ginger tea!! Get it down you! I use it daily.

Oh and I do deep breathing/hypnosis etc. It's just that speculum! Sorry for tmi- its a specific point inside that the pain is and there's also inflammation in that area apparently so I don't think that helps either!

Evening all, I've missed tonnes, will try to catch up but just quickly:

Sparkly - I don't think you're a weirdo, in face it sounds like you and your dh have an amazing relationship.

Not sure who mentioned checking for boob tenderness, but mine really hurt... And I haven't even seen a temp rise yet!!! Def not a symptom! Xx

sneakily passes fifi a pack of ginger biscuits so sparkly doesn't notice.....

Giddy you sneak!!!

Ha!

DH says I need to pay him some attention, but just wanted to tell sparkly that she's not weird! When my IBD flares, poor dh doesn't know what to do,and dtd is definitely off the cards. Lucky for understanding OHs.

Thanks for the biscuits Giddy! I haven't tried that tea Sparkly but may well do, thank for the tip. I drank loads of lemon and ginger tea when pg with DS so it sort of makes me feel more sick. My acupuncturist has shown be a good point for reducing nausea. I'm not moaning at all about it- Ive been waiting for it for a few months and find it quite reassuring.
sammy boob tenderness is definitely a symptom, it was one of my v early ones. Fx for you x

Lucie, you absolutely have to stay around and keep us updated or we'll come to Czech for an update

Sparkly isn't it wonderful being able to offload on here, safe in the knowledge that nobody here will judge but rather send you heaps of positivity and good wishes. I'm so glad I found this forum early on my ttc journey. Your DH sounds pretty perfect!

Purdey snot suckers! I have frequently told DH when I've had a cold that I wish you could get one of the spit suckers they use at the dentist and stick it up your nostrils for a good clear out. I'm guessing the thing you've got is only for baby-sized noses though.

Nomio I cannot even begin to imagine what 4 years of ttc feels like but I really hope you do not give up now. Purdey's ivf advice sounded very positive.

Babs Never mind sore boobs, how is your foot? And you never told us whether it was a comedic fall with any witnesses didn't want to ask when you were still in A&E

CD17 here, more DTDing planned for tonight. Please can a temping expert tell me how much I should see my temp rise by after ov? It's been between 97.0 and 97.2 the last 6 days.

Fifi fresh ginger is great, just grate it into hot water.

mrsb yes I can imagine that's really difficult lovely. We are obviously both very lucky!

Sparko, might it help, when you are a-trembling on the bed with your legs akimbo and in stirrups, to think of me, two weeks today, having a camera shoved up my ass? Oh, and your Twirl joke was funny. We can't know when our drowning-in-bath quips are going to clash with a suicide inquest, can we?

Giddy, I do not understand the 'joys' of co-sleeping. If God had intended for us to sleep with our nippers he wouldn't have invented bunk beds. I remember once when she was teeny tiny and wouldn't go to sleep in her cot and so I decided I would try this 'ere co-sleeping malarkey. I plonked her on the pillow next to me and took one look at this minute baby just waiting to be smothered by me in my sleep, causing me to kill myself through guilt or go to prison for gross negligence and manslaughter that I just picked her up and lobbed her back in her cot. Never brought her into my bed again

Congratulations to Sailor and Dotty! And to those who have been ttc for a long time: hearing about these easily-won bfp's can feel really stabby, despite us wishing the best for newly pregnant bus passengers. We know there will always be a small percentage of women who will fall pregnant first or second cycle but that doesn't help the crushing feeling below the ribs when someone announces they've struck gold first try. I just wanted to put it out there in case anyone was feeling particularly blue after the flurry of bfp's in the past couple of days. I hope those whose dream has come true don't feel angry that I've posted this; I am happy for you, but just wanted to acknowledge those who may be feeling rotten

No we certainly can't Purdey but typical me- foot in mouth! Hard day for you all. yes that will help me!! I'll keep that image in my head if you don't mind?! Ha. Have you had the HSG or did you have the tube check during lap?

sparkly "in sickness and in health" x x

Victoria I laughed out loud when saying my wedding vows at that point! Because we had just endured the worst year ever with my health on the lead up. It's oh so true that one!!!

I felt the same when ds was weeny purds, I was so terrified I would fall asleep while feeding and squish him with my ginormous boobs even when I was sitting up in a chair as I was so tired, no way was I bringing him into bed with us. Now he's bigger he has infiltrated. started after he kept getting snotty colds and was miserable with himself and couldn't sleep. I was also worried he would choke on his vast amounts of phlegm. However, last night he slept in his cot from 8pm to 5am! His new pb. We might get him out of our bed before his 17th birthday after all...

Giddy that's a solid sleep that! Clever boy!! Ha ha at 17th birthday..!!

Sparkly, to echo what others have said, I don't think your marriage, or you are weird in the slightest. I am sorry your RL friend made you feel bad.

You and your DH seem to have an amazing relationship, and a marriage is about a lot more than just sex.

Purds, I love you. Thank you for cheering me up and giving me a kick up the arse at the same time.

I think we are going to have our NHS IVF, then if that doesn't work, go abroad. I have already been looking at places.

Lucie, I am sorry if I sounded disparaging about IVF just when you are about to start treatment. I have just been messed around so much by doctors that I have no faith in NGS treatment any more. I do think that you have a much higher chance abroad, and am sure you will soon get your gorgeous little bundle. Please keep us updated.

He'll probably still be on the boob sparkly.

My post to Nomio about IVF may sound glib and cavalier to those of you who see assisted conception as a complete no-no or frightening or 'abnormal'. I'm sorry if it came across that way. I know I am evangelical about the European experience because I had success on my first attempt, so my posts may seem to ignore the real concerns women have about going down that route.

The thing is, I know what those concerns are and I personally wrestled with lots of ethical and moral dilemmas when deciding whether or not to use a donor egg. At the end of the day I decided that I couldn't continue 'just trying' when the toll of monthly disappointment was ruining my life. Money was a huge issue for us when we a) had none and b) were afraid to gamble with it even if we did. When dad offered us the money as a loan I knew we had to take that risk. What, in all honesty, did we have to lose (apart from £5k )? To lose that money to a Bg Fat Negative was too horrid to think about....so we didn't. We made the decision to throw everything at that cycle and if it failed we would.. yes...be left with a debt of money...but also the comfort of knowing we had brought proper closure to our dream of a baby. That, I think, is massively important if you are going to give up on your quest to be a mum: you have to be able to go to bed at night and know you did everything in your power to make it happen.

Lucie please stay around and keep us excited on your exciting journey .
Sparkly I'll try that tomorrow, I've just bought some fresh ginger.
Purdey .
Nomio I haven't got Purdey's eloquence or fantastic writing style but please don't give up. Xx

I think I would be too scared to do the whole co sleeping thing too...its bad enough worrying one of us may smother the cat let alone a little one!

Babs, Pug, Sparkly and everyone else who has cheered me up today-thank you. You are all so lovely and your kind words really mean a lot. Cake for you all.

Don't give up Nomio!

Sparkly, you sound like you have an amazing dh and a wonderful relationship.

Purdey. Nice to see you. Sorry you had a rough day. Gosh life is crap for some people. I hope Nancy (still love the name) feels better soon.

Ah giddy. Right will squeeze harder, then convince myself it's a symptom

Pug. Foot ok thanks. Still hobbling with crutch. Nobody saw the fall. The stair is usually quite busy and I was in a total heap, but unusually there was no one around. At the time I was thankful that nobody saw. But of all the days to rob dh's homer Simpson socks!
