New ttc no1 thread.

BTW if anyone knows where those no1 babies are I'd like to know! If I was a real detective I think I would have been sacked by now!

Morning girlies!! Was at a wedding over the weekend so struggled to get online.. Wedding was great fun though - bride was absolutely gorgeous!!

Babybratt -can't believe how rude your dr was.. I do wonder why these people go into such professions when they clearly lack all human empathy!! Have you forgiven DH yet?

Nomore - I've just had another good friend announce her BFP after 1 month of trying - she doesn't know I'm trying and was all smug about how provided you put everything together at the right time it just works - I'm really pleased for her but it sort of makes me feel a little bit like a failure - Deep down I know it can take a long time but it's hard hearing how easy other people have it.. sorry being a bit of a grump this morning!

Ready - Let me know what you decide on the vitamin front - I'm only taking folic acid at the moment but debating whether to start taking a multivitamin.. mmm - decisions decisions!!

Fi Glad you survived your tests - fingers crossed that the results are positive for you! How did your mini-glasto go?

Everyone else - a murky monday morning salute to you all

The admissions here about jealousy over pregnancy announcements from good friends have helped me hugely as I've faced 3 in the last year. I am SO pleased and excited for them all - but my first feeling is always and a bit . DH would be appalled if I admitted it to him, but then he hasn't followed the ups and downs of my cycles for over a year and a half - or dealt with the hormones. I am happy to let myself scowl at pregnant women I don't know.

There was another repeat of Heroes last night. Meant I was quite late into bed for a Sunday, but well worth it.

nomoremagnolia · 20/08/2007 10:22

toomuch grump away

I'm v. lucky as DH knows exactly how I feel about pg ladies! He's quite supportive of me being / I think he feels it a bit for himself but mostly it's because he knows it upsets me so much. Part of me wants your DH/Ps to understand for you and part of me doesn't as it took DH a long time to feel the / himself, which is not nice for him and I hope you get you BFPs before that point (am I making any sense this morning?)

Nomore Thanks for letting me grump I gave up telling my DH all the ins and outs of my feelings as he thought I was a psycho when I was reading pregnancy books 6 months before we started TTC and therefore I sort of hide my true obsession..

Does everyone else tell their DH about their MN habit?

Rattling I think we're all normal feeling the way we do about other people's BFPs! THe only difference is that most people have to internalise it whereas we have MN to vent on!

nomoremagnolia · 20/08/2007 10:51

DH knows about my MN habit and at first he was a bit annoyed about it but as I've told him more about you guys he understands now. When I want a moan/support he says to me 'do you want to talk to me about it or do you want to talk to the MN girls about it?' You're all a normal part of our household now you know!

toomuchtimeonline · 20/08/2007 10:55

You have a very understanding DH Nomore!

macaco · 20/08/2007 11:44

Hello...can I join?

second month ttc after coming off pill (but only on it very briefly) now cd 35. last period was 32 but before that could be 30 to 35+ Still no period but am getting vague backache so think it might be on its way. If no sign in about another week I think I might do a test...oooh excited emoticon!

toomuchtimeonline · 20/08/2007 12:06

Hello macaco welcome to our little group - Tell us about yourself - we're very nosey on here Are you new to MN or just new to the TTC threads?

I'm ttc my first - into month 3 of trying after 15 years on the pill!

It's a good bunch on here - all very supportive!

BabyBratt · 20/08/2007 13:23

Hi Macaco you are definitely in the best place for support.

I have just about forgiven the DH. But I was very close to screaming.

We are hosting a wedding dress ball in October I've just built the website for it. Check it out and see what you think www.freyabridalball.co.uk.

I think we have all been envious of pregnant women in here. I think you would be lying if you said you didn't get upset. Men do not understand a womans desire to have a child. One day I am sure everyone of us will have a lovely bump that will make everyone jealous. I am in denial at the moment because that stupid doctor has made me so so so paranoid. He has me convinced I will lose it.

I really hope you don't mind me staying in here. I don't feel like I quite fit in the ante-natal threads just yet until I know it is a sticker.

scorpio1 · 20/08/2007 13:24

Hi BB, how are you feeling??

toomuchtimeonline · 20/08/2007 13:31

Babybratt - stay forever!! You belong on here pregnant or not ! and try not to let that horrible doctor get you down! It's awful that you can't enjoy your BFP now that you finally have it!

Tried the website but it was temporarily unavailable it said

"The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its allocated data transfer.

Hi Scorpio - how are you doing?

BabyBratt · 20/08/2007 13:44

Hi Scorpio I am not sure how I am feeling my pelvis feels heavier and I have boobs like lead weights. I have been weeing more and I get headaches more than ever but I do not feel sick or any other symptoms. I really want to feel ill so I know it is real. My doc said a lack of symptoms could mean I may miscarry.

I know every woman is different and reality I am not even 5 weeks until Wednesday. I still keep peeing on sticks. I am seriously going weird in the head. I sound so ungrateful but I really am scared. What is wrong with me I should be wanting to shout it from roof tops instead I've turned into a paranoid, ungrateful mare.

I lived for my bfp now I am just praying its a sticker.

BabyBratt · 20/08/2007 13:51

Its taken me ages to sort that site out. Technology is supposed to make my life easier.

When you do get on - the first shot is me and claire we had great fun we had to wear wedding dresses and pretend to write invitations.

BabyBratt · 20/08/2007 14:00

Just had a quiet word with myself. I really need to pull myself together.

I do not have anything to moan about. I am blessed if only for the reasons that I managed to get pg on my own (please don't be offended anyone). I really do not want to upset anyone and hope you know where I am coming from. I would be devasted if I lost it but a dear dear friend of mine was told 12 months ago that she could not have children full stop. She lost her marriage and everything. I need to get a grip.

nomoremagnolia · 20/08/2007 14:14

BB ((hugs)) it's hard to let yourself believe it's going to be ok, but I'm sure it is. Stay on here as long as you like, I think I'd do the same. There's not much you can do to avoid a m/c, so please don't worry yourself - if it's going to happen it'll happen, if it's not it's not. (Don't mean to sound like your GP, but in essence he's right, just not very sensitive - still at him for that!)
Have a nice cuppa and think calm thoughts..

OP posts:
toomuchtimeonline · 20/08/2007 14:27

BB - Don't worry - this is where you are supposed to come when are worried! I'm sure we're all gonna feel the same when way when we get our BFPs - the first 12 weeks have got to be the most stressful ever! Stick in there and hopefully you'll be looking at a beautiful scan picture in 7 weeks time.

BTW - love the website - are you on the left or the right?

BabyBratt · 20/08/2007 15:09

It's me on the right, with the very camp hand!! we love wedding dresses and i cannot wait until Oct it should be a fun night.

I am just going to take everything in my stride. I go to Spain next week for a week so that should be a nice rest for us.

BellaBear · 20/08/2007 15:12

Babybratt - i didn't start feeling sick until week six or seven and I have heard other women say week nine or ten.

scorpio1 · 20/08/2007 15:15

BB-your doctor sounds nasty, imo. not being/feeling sick DOES NOT mean you may miscarry. i dont feel very sick at all anymore-and i didnt the last 2 times either.you will be fine sweety, and it is normal to worry about your bean-i know i am in these early weeks.

I am fine thankyou just very tired.

scorpio1 · 20/08/2007 15:16

and you sound like you have lots of symptoms-more than me!!!

BabyBratt · 20/08/2007 15:34

Thanks guys, I am hoping my midwife is nicer. Sorry for being so paranoid. I promise that is it, I feel better for just telling everyone writing things down makes me realise just how irrational I am being

Scorpio and bellabear I am glad you are both ok, that is the great thing about MN you have a good support network.

My doctor would not even see me straight away until they had sent a urine sample to be tested. I think I might try and change health centres.

Everyone else thank you for being so kind and letting me stay

Im still go to bore you all with stories of DH and my shop. Now I can even bore you about the ball!!

nomoremagnolia · 20/08/2007 16:58

BB your ball looks amazing, wish I lived closer and I'd come. What a fab way to raise money for such a good cause.

OP posts:
BabyBratt · 20/08/2007 17:17

Claire mum survived breast cancer last year and my granddads wife (not grandma, he married again bless him) has survived it, she has been all clear for a number of years.

I really hope we raise alot of money. When I get pics I will put them online and you can have a look. I am hoping that alot of women are like us and would love to wear their dress again.
