The Good Husband of TTC Drive (No1 Babies Detective Agency pt5)

[nomoremagnolia]

Especially for you
I wanna let you know what I was going through
All the time we were apart
I thought of you
You were in my heart
My love never changed
I still feel the same

Especially for you
I wanna tell you I was feeling that way too
And if dreams were wings, you know
I would have flown to you
To be where you are
No matter how far
And now that I'm next to you

No more dreaming about tomorrow
Forget the loneliness and the sorrow
I've got to say
It's all because of you

And now we're back together, together
I wanna show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you

Especially for you
I wanna tell you, you mean all the world to me
How I'm certain that our love was meant to be
You changed my life
You showed me the way
And now that I'm next to you

I've waited long enough to find you
I wanna put all the hurt behind you
And I wanna bring out all the love inside you, oh

And now we're back together, together
I wanna show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you

You were in my heart
My love never changed
No more dreaming about tomorrow
Forget the loneliness and the sorrow
I've got to say
It's all because of you

And now we're back together, together
I wanna show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you

New thread especially for Ready

Hi all - not feeling too about 7x bloods - Dh went in - 1st person had a feel of both arms and refused to try, 2nd had 2 goes then went to get Dr - who had 4 goes and ended up putting canula in (1st time!).Only needed one lot thought, so not feeling too guilty!

Managed to get online.

Sorry to hear about CD1 hobnobs!! But maybe it can be lucky cycle 9 for you too!! By the way - I know your supposed to relax and enjoy bonging but this month was the first month we'd treated it like a task and managed to do it every night for a week (not very romantic I know) but just saying that there's nothing wrong with a little military planning!

Ready - it's so sweet that your dh is so involved and knows us all!! I'm so glad I found mn- I think I would have gone mad otherwise!

MT - we haven't told a soul in rl as I want to keep it a secret however, there a times where in my head I am screaming 'I am pregnant!!' - it's so pshyco (sp!?)

I am feeling really cramp at the moment and still spotting - it is very much like af and very unnerving but I still have the sore (.) (.) Too..

Hello everyone else!! Anyone heard from nomore? I've never seen her away from the boards for so long..

Managed to get online.

I agree. I'm sure mn has helped me get over the lows... Feeling a bit more +ve than at the end of last week - probably the dose of sunshine over the w/e - lovely wasn't it?

Crampy feelings are really really normal had them strongly in all 3 pgs until about 9 weeks, slightly longer with Millie but thats becuase i had some bleeding inside. All normal!!

more shopping news:

just won a BNIB sleeping bag for Mills for 99p on ebay!!! a slumbersac.

Thanks girls. Went to gp today and he said all sounds ok so just crossing fingers it is a sticky one!

P.s sorry for the crazy posting - not sure what is wrong with my mobile!!

Fingers crossed Toomuch!

Just popped in and wanted to say CONGRATS to toomuch. Don't worry we don't mind when one of us becomes pregnant, it's just the smug I just have to look at him and its positive!!!

How lovely - what a fantastic Christmas present!!!

I'm in a much more positive frame of mind this week, have been really good i.e. minimal alcohol and no caffiene for two weeks now. Called the hospital and pre-booked my HSG now just have to hope my AF comes early otherwise will have to cancel it. The doctor is away on holiday the following week and so I'll have to wait for next month. Not a major problem, but now things are moving along I'm getting alittle excited!!

I have conned a friend who does acupuncture to try it on me as well so I will give this ttc a real shot in the next three months. If nothing still doesn't happen I am going on the biggest drinking/fun/bad for ttc spree ever!!!!

Hi Poppy - hope that the good resolutions work for you! Just noticed a post from you elsewhere - had been wondering where you'd got to. I can't decide whether to be a bit more positive or not. Reading some of the other threads just makes me cry at the moment.

Fingers still crossed for you, TooMuch for the next few weeks but it sounds like it's all going ok. It's good to know that your military-style planning paid off - I tried (honest!) to be relaxed about it for the first few months and sometimes I'd find that we'd only bd'ed once or twice around the middle of my cycle which didn't make me feel we were giving it our best try. DH has booked his semen analysis appointment - hooray - and fortunately he managed to get a cancellation so shouldn't have too wait too long.

Ready I don't need much encouragement to eat chocolate though trying to be a bit more restrained - wouldn't mind losing a few pounds but it's not happening very easily (need more effort, I suppose!)

Hello Poppy. Would be interested in hearing how your acupuncture goes - has anyone else tried this? (Have never tried it but seem to be more desperate open to new experiences at the moment!)

Mistlethrush Hope you feel more positive soon

Hi girls
First things first - Congratulations toomuch so for you
Scorpio 9 weeks to go? I swear you've had the fastest pg ever!
Sybil Had totally missed the fact you knew your baby's sex and name Jamie is a lovely name. Does naming them before birth make it seem more 'real'? (Scorpio you can answer too) I've always wondered whether I'd want to know boy/girl at the scan or just wait for a suprise.
Gilly Can't remember DH's exact details but he had v low % of normally formed sperm. It should be 15%, his was 3% so I wouldn't be worried about 13% (hope I got that right) Our specialist said that DH's volume was big enough to 'make up for' the low % of good ones.
Ready How are you love? Feeling any older?
Hobnob 76! I only managed 8 by myself (and only 56 on Clomid)
MT Have you any blood left?? I sympathise with your DH - when I went to give blood once they had to swap arms because my left one didn't bleed well enough, so they had to swap to my right. I cried afterwards as it was a horrible experience and put me off donating blood (though I regularly try to convince myself to go back, I haven't managed it yet )
everyone else hiya

I am so glad I found MN - it's been such a lifeline to me over the last year or so. Which makes me wonder (question time)... how did you all discover MN? I was told about it by BF when she was pg.

nomore - I have always found out the sexes of the babies. this time i said to DH lets not, but he wanted to just incase he was having a daughter.

This is the only baby that has been named before birth though - with Reilly i had a choice of 2 first names & Scott, his middle name ws ready. He may have been Tyler, im so pleased he is Reilly now though

With Jamie; he was either going to be Jamie Levi, Levi James or Koby James. Jamie Levi it was, i knew as soon as i lloked at him that he was iyswim?

Millie's name is from my outlaws - MIL just started calling her that and it has stuck and i like nothing better; apart from maybe Lacey. I can't call her anything else now - she is Millie iyswim? Her name is Millie Grace Jessamy surname. (begins with C)So thats sorted now too!

I am 31+4 today - had last baby at 39+4...so culd be just 8 weeks now, maybe less, maybe more!

I was really pleased that I hadn't found out the sex before. Before I got pregnant I wanted a girl (probably because I've always had a really good relationship with my mother - and her mother), but during didn't really mind and towards the end was leaning towards a boy as being best as we already had 2 nieces. It was lovely having a name sorted though, as was able to say 'hello x' to him immediately (or immediately as it gets when you end up having an emergency cx).

If (when?) I have a second, I still wouldn't want to know. I'd quite like a girl as that would be one of each - but I'd quite like a boy so that they can have a bit more rough and tumble together (and we wouldn't have to get any new clothes and very few new toys!)

Having the clothes all in bags does rather depress me - don't want to get rid of them as it would be a waste if we have another, but having them sitting there in the corner of the spare room is a bit like having a sulky monster sitting there and being grumpy (iykwim)

Never mind! Gearing up for a 3rd bday party (not until April!) - have negotiated the cake and the fact that it could really be any colour and doesn't have to be a red dragon - and that his best friend has to come. He can't seem to tell me which other children he wants to invite though!

Belated P.S. Ready Happy Birthday for last weekend (When was it, Sunday?) Hope you had a lovely lazy day and a glass of wine to to celebrate!

Hobnobs, thanks chick! I didn?t have a lazy day (Sunday) mind you, dh took me out for the day, twas lovely ? I know what you mean about the chocolate, I have stopped buying it, because if it is in the house then we just pig out. and I am trying to be healthy at the moment.

MT, sounds like the birthday plans are coming along nicely

Nomore, I don?t really feel much older, do you?? How?s it going?

Poppy, here,here, pmsl at your ?smug just have to look at him? comment ? that is exactly how I am feeling at the minute. I am loving your relaxed attitude about it all, I really am!! Fingers crossed that you get to have your HSG as planned. I was terrified about mine, but it really isn?t too bad ? it?s just undignified and uncomfortable ? but about par for the course really

Toomuch, fingers crossed for a sticky one, indeed

Big wave to all you other lovely ladies

For me? I would not want to know the gender before birth, I want it to be a surprise. And so does dh (which is lucky). I think if we are ever lucky enough to fall pregnant (fingers crossed) then we will get a couple of names for both.

In response to nomore?s question? I read about MN in The Times. A parenting book author, gina ford, had started legal action against MN, not really sure if it is allowed to be discussed on these forums, but anyway, I thought it was all a bit silly, so decided to come and see what the site was like as I had just started trying and was eager for information ? found the conception boards and never looked back

Re finding out gender, it's a personal thing. I am the world's worst control freak, I want to know so that I can have the nursery/clothes/names etc sorted before the birth. And, I do think that it makes it easier to bond with the baby when you know what it is and what it is going be called.

I didn't find out with dc2 as she was shy at the scan and I hated not knowing. I cried after the scan and tried to persuade dh to pay for sexing scan but he refused. Then when she was born she had the cord wrapped twice around her neck and wasn't breathing and it was really tense and horrible for a while so nobody cared what sex she was.

Hello - still trying to be good but have scoffed too many gingernuts tonight - oh well.

Mistlethrush Big hugs to you - I try to stay away from the positive threads - especially the BFP don't know what to do sort!!!

Sybilvimes glad the birth was ok, god if it's this problematic getting pregnant can't imagine how birth etc will be!!!

Nomore I found MN after my mc - was really down and no-one could give me any info. As I am diabetic the midwife was calling me nearly every week it seemed and I had so many appointments. Yet when I had my ERPC no-one even cared and I was just left feeling so empty. MN was such a relief and I got such good advice. One of my friends said not to look on internet as it can scare you- but I'm glad I did.

Going to have acupuncture again tomorrow.

Have realised I have a short LPhase so have also started popping the B6 to sort it out. Does anyone take any special vits ie Zita West etc????

Working (other work) late last night - very difficult evening in terms of noise and smoke, and eyes suffering this morning as a consequence.

I think I found out about MN when reading the 'what to expect from your child at 1' or similar, but I can't really remember. Glad I found it though.

Sybil - the really interesting thing was that although I didn't know what gender and therefore what name ds would be, knew what male name, and absolutly no doubts when he turned up - I am sure that not knowing had no impact upon bonding. (Mind you, after 6 years of waiting, I don't think that anything would have stopped bonding at that stage!). And of course, he was such a solid little thing (10.5) that he was able to do quite a bit from the start (really good at bf - 20min feed within 2 hrs) (including lifting his head off my shoulder and whaming it down again ) and his name really suited him (still does)(very traditional).

Poppy/Ready - re HSG - consultant that did mine said - "there, that wasn't too bad was it". Frankly, I think that every consultant should be told not to make comments like that about anything that they have not experienced first hand themselves (impossible in this case). Not a pleasant experience, but can think of worse!

We are currently trying to work out what the birthday party guest list is. This is complicated by ds who sometimes likes people and the next day says they are nasty . One of the boys from nursery that he will be going to school with next year is apparently 'scary' - don't know whether to try to work on this, particularly as this family lives not too far away from us so would be quite convenient to swap the odd favour now and again.

Seems a bit quiet here, doesn't it. Well, did the hospital run for DH's semen analysis yesterday (sat there in the car, drumming my fingers, thinking of some of you!) Poor thing was a bit stressed about it - I don't think he slept very well and commented that he usually produces his best work under pressure but not in this situation - he thinks he may need to redo it if there's not enough volume (sorry if tmi!) although as I pointed out, that shouldn't stop them testing for the quality.

In answer to Nomore's question, think I found Mumsnet when I googled something TTC-related last year though I'd vaguely heard of it. I waded through a lot of the TTC threads absorbing loads of information, not just TTC-related. Have Mumsnet to thank (possibly even Ready ) for finding Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish, though now I seem to come across in in every magazine I pick up.

Hello guys,only got a few minutes so will be a short note.#

Hobnobs - DH was the same he took loads of convincing and was most upset when I mentioned to a friend that he was going to have to do the test, however when the results came back and they were above average he didn't care who knew. One of those man things I think.

Don't think AF is going to come early this month and therefore think I'll have to cancel HSG for next friday!

As the doctor is away the following friday I'll have to wait another month, which is alittle disappointing really. I have however booked a trip to New York for April so at least this means I won't be going mad at ttc so will still be able to do lots of shopping.

Had lovely day out in the sunshine so still feel good today!

I think I'd wait for the surprise, I don't usually like to plan things - this is why ttc is totally different to my normal life. It's turned me into more of a control freak I think!!

Last bit doesn't really make sense but it was in reply to finding out the baby's sex!
