sweetheart · 25/10/2004 16:15

Ah men Runtus - drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs!!! Wooohhhoooooooo!!!!!!

I can't wait!!!!

runtus · 25/10/2004 16:16

Perhaps we should explain we are talking about Clomid!

sweetheart · 25/10/2004 16:19

Oh crap - yeah SORRY!!!!!!

That probably sounded really bad didn't it!!!!!!

sweetheart · 25/10/2004 16:20

Bella23 · 25/10/2004 16:27

Hello everyone - have just come across this website whilst surfing at work. We have been trying to conceive for 5 months which I know is not loads of time and although my head is trying to be sensible I can't help feeling panicky about it.
I have bought the prediction stick things but nothin yet.
I am also really worried that I am turning into a horrible person as I am dreading hearing that a friend may be be pregnant in case I can't hide my jealous feelings. This is really upsetting as I have never been a person like that.
Any advice for not turning into a horrible obsessive person!

jeddah · 25/10/2004 16:37

thanks sallie great help!
runtus......is there anyway that you can post a picture of you looking like a model in your red dress.....dying to see it!

Sweetheart.....what makes the doc think you do not ov every month?????

Twiga....what a confusing thing this ttc is???? its hard to test and hard not to test!....you go with your gut feeling!

Welcome bella23......I think the secret is, to accept that you will be envious...... aswell as pleased for her and if she is a good friend she will know how you are feeling and respect that .

Sexyandhappy · 25/10/2004 16:42

Jeddah,.... whilst you're on...
Blood test all normal... what ever that means,....
Did a pregnancy test last week : BFN
Did an ovulation test on Saturday evening 9for no other reason than I felt "more" cervical fluid than usual though not egg white. The test came back BFP IYKWIM.... so we did BD that night and last night.... now my pubis ache - talk about symptoms showing up early... or is it a nervous pregnancy ????
Any thoughts..... and NO SIGN at all of AF....

BTW - I will change my nickname as I am no longer as annonymous as I'd liek to be....

sweetheart · 25/10/2004 16:49

jeddah,

I'm not sure what makes her think that really.

She asked a load of questions and had a poke about (TMI sorry!!!) and sent me for blood tests to make sure I'm oving properly.

I think it's because some months my cycles are 28 days and other months they are 40 + days.

Bella, quick - run away while you still can!! Whoops - I think you'll find it's too late - your addicted
Only joking - welcome!!!!

thanks jeddah, yeah, why the hek doesn't the egg and the sperm fertilze if they are both there each month? seems way less hit then miss! why did God make this so hard to do?? some women just don't know how lucky they are! keep the faith ladies!

SHELY · 25/10/2004 17:58

hester- don't read too much into that stupid story. 29 is by no means old. tryin to make others feel bad that's hooey! like my hubby tells me, all the time, i read too much oline!! don't be sad please!

SHELY · 25/10/2004 18:32

hey, i just got my first egg white mucus, just now! i don't remember ever seeing this before. i read about it, but never had it. i thought for sure something was very wrong with me!! better get the hubby home quicky!!

MommyD · 25/10/2004 18:34

It always infuriates me when I read negative things about older Mums. I am 36 and I suppose I am having my kids later in life. In my 20s I had not met the right man and so kids were not an option back then.
Which is better.... to have kids in your twenties with someone with whom you are not in a stable relationship, just so you can be a "young Mum" (of course many women ARE in stable relationships in their twenties - I wasn't) OR to have kids in your thirties/forties when you are happy and stable? Some women do not have the choice to be young Mums, but does that mean they don't have the right to be a Mum at all? I THINK NOT!!!!
BABYDUST ALL ROUND

hester · 25/10/2004 18:42

Thanks mommyD and Shely (though Shely - I am actually 40, not 29, so by any definition a really old broad to be in the ttc game!)

Will try not to let it get to me as I am on CD 14`and I can't afford to get until at least CD 20!

Have a good evening, everyone. xxx

SHELY · 25/10/2004 19:21

no hester, i meant the girl in the story was 29,acting a f she were 70! 40 isn't old girl! plenty of eggs left for the for taking for years to come! belive me!! i know a lady who tried for a baby since she got married at 23 yrs old, and she got pregnant with her first at age 42 for the first time in her life, and had another at 44, and her husband passed away right after getting preg. with her second, and she gets by just fine, w/ enough energy to go around, so you have nothin to worry about there! remember you are as old or as young as you feel, and sometimes i feel like 110, so pay no mind to everyhing you read, or every little thought that creeps into your brain! it can poison! you're gonna be a great mom!

moschops · 25/10/2004 19:26

well to add to the discussion, i am 29 and my partner and i made the decision this year to stop taking the pill and try for a baby. we met when we were youngsters (i was 17 he was 15) and our relationship has been stable for a very long time.

i just didn't feel ready until now to commit myself emotionally to being a parent. i was also very aware that i had to wait until dp was ready to make this committment too. as it happens he is the broody one!

there's no such thing as older or younger parents, just good and bad ones. age is irrelevant.

SHELY · 25/10/2004 19:30

better to have your babies in your 30's and 40's then as a teenage mom. i was 18 and i was a mature 18 at that, and the things i knew then were not half of what i know now at 29. not to say teen parents, can't be great parents,i just think that the greater knowledge of life and experience we develop later on in years, makes us a better person and therefore, a wiser parent, nobody should make you feel old! u r not!

SHELY · 25/10/2004 19:36

moschops- hats off to you for being mature enough to wait till a year ago to try, when you knew it wasnt time yet. i hope God blesses you with a bundle of joy really soon!! u guys all deserve it! this is a great group of ladies on here!

Miaou · 25/10/2004 20:55

Hi there everyone, congrats to Pandagirl! I tend to dip in and out of the ttc threads - so can someone update me on the graduates from the last one?

pandagirl03 · 25/10/2004 21:44

im not sure if im joining the june or july thread my periods were all over the place. but i think i'll be due end june, seeing doctor on friay so might give me a better idea.

i didn't do anything different this month infact i completely forgot about ttc perhaps thats what it was.

Tania2 · 26/10/2004 04:50
