Trying To Conceive ... 9

[BeckiF]

Darling Ladies ... I wish us all luck on this new thread (especially me!) ... I hope that we have the same great amount of graduates that the last thread had!

So, group hug and let's get to it! Wooo Wooooo!!!!

Hey, hope everyone had a good weekend. Doing ok here, bit of a downer on yesterday - my whole church seemed to be full of babies and bumps - not fair! CD10 here and getting in plenty practice!

Miranda2 - hope everything turns out ok, thinking about you x

Cyndii, have you ever thought about Twiga for a middle name ?! Good luck this month x

Sweetheart, sorry you got BFN, but many congratulations on your accountancy exams - could be onto something with the whole locking bedroom thing.

Fonzie, I'd heard a lot of good things about the midwife unit and it's what I'd aim at if/when it happens - don't like hospitals and would be looking for somewhere as unclinical as poss, bit ironic when Dh is a doc!

Cobweb and pamina3, how are you both doing? Welcome to those that have recntly joined us.

Twiga,

Hope your feeling less blue today. I went for a long bike ride yesterday with dh and dd to feed the ducks - did me the world of good.

I felt recharged and positive after. Although I did snap at dh when he remarked at how red my face was gggrrrrrrrrr{} 1st af day blues and all that!!!!

Keep ya chin up hun - oh and if the bike ride fails I'm sure a big slice of choc fudge cake would do the trick

Thanks sweetheart, I'm feeling a bit better today, I've been so tired recently (my job is pretty hectic) which doesn't help. Keep thinking I've got my head around mc then I hit a bad day again. I just want to be pregnant still and I'm gutted I'll never get to meet my baby. Dreading the next couple of weeks - good friends of ours are due any time nowand it will be all the chat amongst our close group of friens- am so chuffed for them but it's gonna be hard and I feel bad for feeling so negative about it. Sorry this has turned into a bit of a rant - I am ok really just frustrated. Think it's hard when for everyone esle my mc is yesterdays news, I don't think it's deliberate by any stretch but I guess life goes on for folk which is tough when you feel like you're standing still in terms of how you feel. Rant ovwer - sorry and thank you.

Twiga, I know what you mean when you say that the m/c hits you at odd times. Sometimes everything seems normal and fine and then something small will remind me and it's like being hit by a Mack truck. Yesterday a friend was talking about double prams and I said we saw a great one in the States in May. I was telling her about it and then it hit me that we were looking at double prams then because I had been pregnant.

I don't know if that will ever go away but hopefully when we get pregnant again (and we will!) and then when we hold those little babies it'll make the loss less painful.

Have you had any signs of O yet? We're on the same CD but we had such a hectic weekend that we didn't BD once. I haven't had any signs of O though so I don't think we've missed it. I just hope it happens soon. Last month I Oed on CD11 which would be tomorrow but the OPK is still neg. Oh well.

Hi, sorry to dump and run was just finishing typing when got emergency call in from work - have put in an order with Dh who is on his way home for some chocolate cake as suggested and have added cheese puffs to the list for good measure ! The cycling is an ace idea, we both really enjoy it when we've got the time - not currently, hence the cake! Here's to the rest of the week and a concerted effort on the bding front!

Hi Tex111, no massive signs of ov as yet although the cm thing seems to be putting in the begginings of an appearance so hopefully not long now. We've been covering all bases - started bding day after AF stopped and are aiming at every other day - so tonights the night.....again ! Been feeling tired and full of the cold lately so not in the most enthusiastic frame of mind. Sorry to hear about your mc, you're right, there is hope for the future and it'll be great! Not doing anything other than getting a rough idea of dates from babycentre think you're brave doing all the monitoring - it would drive me distracted, it's hard enough thinking about anything els at the best of times just now. Fingers crossed for this month!

Well it's CD3 for me and af has finished. (I only ever get 1 day) So it's bd from now on for me and dh!!!

We're going to attempt every other night but I can't see it happening. My dh has to start work at 3am so he needs to go to bed early during the week - normally puts dd in bed with him which is an obvious passion killer!!!!

Still we'll give it a go. Hope you enjoyed your choc cake Twiga. I weighed in last night and had lost another 1.5 Ibs so I treated myself to a chinese and a slice of choc b'day cake. I probably regained the 1.5Ibs I lost

I got invited to a wedding today on April 2nd in USA!!! Although I'd really like to go I'm hoping I'll be too pregnant to fly by then - oh well, only time will tell.

bd every 2nd day did not work for us last month and I know I ovulated!!!
So every day now, sometimes twice now that AF has finally stopped.

well, not to be. Had horrible nightmare last night of being in car with two children and careering out of control and I woke up before it crashed.....went to the loo and there it was, so I have another month of trying ahead. May dip in and out of these as sort of trying but not really hard....so feel a bit of a flaky ttc member!!!anyway good luck to all those still waiting this month and see you soon...

Hi Ladies, Sorry i have been avoiding the thread. Trying to keep my mind on other things having a month off.
Sorry to all that have had the visit from Af
Good luck to those waiting to ov
Best wishes to those waiting for AF
Chin up to everyone that is feeling down
Did the wrong thing today. sorted out all of ds baby clothes
Aussiesim welcome home it will be good to have someone to chat to from oz instead of trying to stay awake to have a live chat with everyone. (which doesn't seem to happen very often)
Baby dust to everyone *

Sorry Welcome to all new MN

Twiga & Tex111~ I can't try to imagine how horrible it must be have a mc. Thoughts & prayers are with you and everyone who has been through that nightmare.

Talking about nightmares poor beachyhead ~ awful!!

Twiga for a middle name I'll say it to dh and I'll get back to you!! I haven't even conceived yet and I have the names picked!! Josh for a boy and Sophie for a girl............

Girls I know it's best to bd before one ovulates which I have done (all weekend!!) wrecked but it was fun! But I think I am ovulating today (pains etc) so is it still a good idea to continue bd I was thinking of tonight being a good idea. I'm rambling but what I'm trying to ask is can I still conceive after I've ovulated??????????

P.S. girls stop talking about choclate cake I'd love a big slice with a scoop of ice cream on top!! Yummy....

Just signing in to give an update, currently CD23 and counting, I think I ovulated yesterday (see Tummy pains thread), but have wasted it as DH was sent to hospital yesterday with pains in his knee (big wuss ) he was in alot of pain, so they x-rayed his knee and was told he had housemaids knee , its like looking after a baby (again), even DD told him to go to bed and she's 4 , so BD went out of the window, and we ended up having a sleepless night anyway with DH moving every 5 minutes to get comfy. However and this is a big however, Saturday night we bd, so would that have helped and I still have the tummy pains today, its like AF is coming, but feels like a dragging sensation too. Had CM in the middle of the night too, which was very thick and white, so if we bd tonight could there be a possibility of me getting pregnant this month

Malinki,

Don't know the answer to your ovulating questions - just a suggestion in relation to the knee problem.

If you dh has a bad knee whats wrong with you going on top for the bding. You can test out that pleasure pain theory that Muller are always going on about

Morning!

Cyndii, those are lovely names - my neice is called Sophie-Mai. We've got names picked too, Pheobe for a girl, Jacob for a boy. Don't know if it will help you reach a decision but Twiga is Sawhili for giraffe - I suppose if the baby was paticularly long ? Keep up the Bding, not sure what the life span for an egg is but I think you've got a good 24hrs? Ladies?

Beachyhead, what a horrible dream hope - take care. Welcome back Tania2.

Wow just looked at when i last posted it was back on the 18th, I really have been a snob!! so much has happened since then its hard to keep track. Iam currently on CD18 dont think i ov'd this month but did get CM on CD9 and made sure i bd that day (my birthday) i asked the question back on the 18th if CD9 would be too early to ov when iam on a 27-28 cycle doest anyone know??? been really bad this month havent bd since that day really dont have the enthusiasm and energy. Poor dh asked if he was going to get anything at all this month if we are having a break from ttc. knowing his luck we will get pg this month and have only had sex once. poor thing i better work up the energy to keep him happy. mind you its 8:20pm and he is asleep on the couch.

sorry, not sure where the random hope came from - brain not quite switched on yet today - stupid cold!

Malinki, poor Dh! Sweetheart has a point, maybe give him some paracetemol first?

Twiga ~ there lovely names too; and twiga is still interesting I'll say it to dh!!

Not trying to get away from Twiga but Sophie-Mia is really beautiful... such a pretty girl's name!

I was going to go on top, but I just looked at him (have given up telling him when I think I ovulate as he has a real problem about me abusing his body until I have what I want), so last night he just asked me to cuddle him and I accidently (yeah right), put my hand down his shorts and he stirred a little, but then just looked at me and kissed me and said cuddle me again, so the next thing I knew it was 11.50pm and I was wide awake, he even made funny noises in his sleep last night so I knew he was in a little bit of pain and when he woke up this morning, he looked like he'd been on the p**s all night, when I told him this morning that I thought I had ovulated yesterday, he just kissed me forehead and said sorry, I told him that he might be able to make it up to me tonight

Aye, and she's a bonnie wee thing too - she's about 17 months old and a real charmer - she's our first neice and we always spoil her rotten, don't see her as much as we'd like as my DS lives away down in England. We spent a lot of time with her when she was very tiny, getting up through the night to give DS a break, so we feel like we've had a bit of practice.

malinli - Dh sounds like a real sweetie, bless, hope he's feeling better this morning.

I know what you mean malinki about dh having a problem about using them just for the goods. iam a prime example this month, i really should be in the lounge now suducing him...nar cant be bothered.. hopefully tonight is your night if you ov'ed yesterday you might still have a chance as the egg can last up to 24hrs (i think) check that site babycentre that should tell you. Cindy and Twiga they are beautiful names my ds is called Matthew Thomas, Matthew after his dads middle name and because we like Matty and Thomas after my grandfather (like my dad) who nearly passed away b4 i had ds but sadley he passed in March this yr 16 mths later. so if i have another boy i have no idea what i would call him and the girls name we had chosen i dont know if i am keen on it still - Paige - you cant have a middle name with that one.

Hi Ladies - I have the hospital this afternoon, another trip for nothing! And I hate that the doc I see is attahed to the maternity wing ... it's one of those things that gets you down as the years flip past. I'll report in tomorrow.

Best of luck Beckif. Sorry if i have missed it but what are you seeing the doc about this afternoon?

BeckiF I'm praying for you today, I really hope things are more positive than you are expecting. You're right about where the doc is situated, not the best . Take good care of yourself, and let us know how things go {{{{hugs{}}}}}}}!

Good names Tania2, sorry about your grandfather. Paige is a lovely name for a girl, I'm sure someone on mn could come up with a suitable middle name suggestion.......now, get off the computer and go wake up that DH of yours ...

Ladies keep seducing!! My dh feels a little used too but I think he is getting used to it!! So when I finally conceive he won't know what hit him, I'll be turning off the light and straight to sleep poor men............

malinki ~ good luck tonight ~ i think I'll be bding tonight too as I'm sure I'm ovulating today!!

Twiga ~ your niece sounds adorable!! I've myself convinced that I'll be having another little boy; I have a little boy Eoghan who only turned 3 on 4th Aug. Love him to bits!

Tania2 sorry about your Dad ~ your boy's names are fab.
