[geordie]

here it is girls.

ttc 15

the last one of 2005 I think.......

However- I am sending loads of babydut to you all

I really hope this beanie sticks......cos as much as i luv you all I really want to join a antenatal board!!

Geordie
(and beanie due august 15th 2005!)

nothing temps her jb but the breast....just pulling my hair out

sory never heard of the angus cactus thing!

Tania - I used to work in a clinic where they do these tests and can reassure you that some abnormal is fine. EVERY man has some sperm with two heads, some that swim round in crazy circles, some that are too sleepy to bother swimming... the critical thing is the numbers (you will usually get given three numbers: the number of sperm per sample, the proportion that are abnormal and how 'motile' - i.e. energetic and swimming in the right direction - they are). I can't remember off the top of my head what numbers you should be looking for but will look it up if you like. But it sounds reassuring so far, and I'm sure they'll explain all to you at the visit.

jingle - thanks for putting me on your list! I'm trying my hardest, honest!

OK, I think that whoever gets pg between now and the meet-up should still come along to buy the others a drink! (Of course, they may prefer not to hang out with losers like us - but whoever said it was a free country?)

hester if i get pg thins month i'll be happy to buy u all 2 drinks..

Excellent!
Cockenzie, you asked for further help lower down the thread. Am happy to but not sure what advice you need? You want me to CAT you, or have you now get what you need?

what is CAT?

It stands for Contact Another Talker - basically, I email you via Mumsnet. But you may prefer to keep it on thread

i dont mind either way.but on thread is more friendly!! and maybe someone else can benefit from it? yes please i would like that very much please hester.tx

Morning all - haven't time to catch up with 5 days of messages as I'm supposed to be working! so hope I haven't missed too much - . However, did pick up on Geordie's fab news - big hugs and luck to you and yours!
AF due today and have done x 2 tests already (one yesterday and one this morning)!- both BFN not surprisingly. Why did I do it?? Got very excited initially as two blue lines appeared, then realised that I'd bought the new Boots tests and you now have to have a cross in one of the windows to be pregnant not just a line as before. Might still be too early but I don't think so!Oh boo hoo :(
Big helpings of baby dust to us all!

so sory nicks. my thought are with u.guess that will be another month of waiting...dont mean to put ur mood down. have a big of box of choc for consolation.huggies.xxx

a thought for geordie.hope she is keeping well

i hope i can be of help or good advice myself sometime as i think u al need comfort and shoulders to cry on...oh, sound like an agony aunt.haha!!!

hi girls.....

i've finally managed to get my christmas decorations up!

well after my unexpected ewcm the other day things got stranger. was woken up early hours of sunday am with a very strange pain by my right hip. at 2am in the morning i was just annoyed that it had woken me!!! but then yesterday i got more ewcm. and it was much more noticeable than when i've had it previously. so either i ov'd or my body is just totally confused...........bd'd anyway, so i can be satisfied i'm not missing any chances.

day off work for me today and i planned to clean the kitchen but dp did it yesterday so i'm going to potter around the house doing little jobs that i always ignore. will pop in here again later

cockenzie...

How old is your dd?
How long have you been breast feeding?
Why do you want to stop?

Sorry to be so nosey, but the plan forward depends on these answers!

JB cd23 here and did my last test stick this morning...persona now showing green light!

So whos on JBs list
Hester
Marinda
Jeddah
Bonkerz

Anybody else on the big wait??????? or coming up for testing in the next 2 week?

Stnickschick....sorry about bfn....how many dpo are you??????????????

jeddah

she is 10 months and has sharp teeth..so sore nipple that want to make me stop b/feed.and getting tired of it as well.been b/feeding ever since she was born

jeddah..so sory about the bfn..guess waiting time again for nxt month.

Hi girls just got back from the commitee meeting for playgroup WON the door prize so it was worth going.
Cockenzie our ds has just stopped sleeping in our bed about 2 weeks ago just b4 he turned 2. he only came in half way through the night but he was getting very pushy in bed and noone was getting any sleep so with the help of brillant mumnetters he sleeps in his own bed all night. i started a thread on it and got some great advice but you have jeddah here to help and she has some great advice. Not sure on the BF thing thou as i stopped at 8 weeks.
JB my cycles got shorter too when i was taking the herbs from my natrapath which is similar to Angus catcus but jeddah did remind me that it just means that you get more than 12 chances in a year to fall pg and really the wait isnt as long so you dont do your head in as bad it will be interesting what my cycle will be this month as i stopped taking the herbs just couldnt afford them this month. try working out your ov dates on babycentre.com thats what i do.
Hester thanks for that info on sperm count not sure of the numbers yet gyno will discuss them with me b4 my op next Wed but if i have questions later can i call on you please.
Nicks sorry about the BFN but it maybe too early not over till the fat lady sings.

probably coming up for testing in the next 2 weeks.worked out my nxt af for boxing day...however..hoping.well this wk is the wk for the business

cockenzie...I haven't had a BFN!!!!!!

Firstly you have done great to get to 10 months! bloody hell what a star!!!! and seems like you are ready to stop. Well done!

How often does your dd feed? what is her usual pattern? does she have bottles with water or milk in them or does she just have the breast for drinking...any cups?

Hi everyone,

got a stronger BFP this morning and have made an apt with the dr on wed. not feeling great- which is a good sigh..must mean lots of hormone!!

anyway I am still thinking of all of you and chucking babydust you way by the sledge full!

Morning! {{{hugs}}} all round. CD13 here, hopeful for this month what with cycle bien back on track and all, also just been feeling much more myself/brighter than I have since mc. Putting dh in charge this month was a good idea, feels more like a shared stress (not that he ever gets stressed at anything) and means he's been pulling out all the romantic stops too! Work has insisted we use up as much AL as poss before the end of the year so apart from tonight, I'm at home for the next eight, which has got to up our chances. Sorry you had a rough night Tania, hope this evening is better. Sorry about the BFN, hope it was just too early... Take care, x

Well i dont know wether i should be counted into the waiting game af due on Wed or Thurs ish really dont think that it is possible but i still have that glimmer of hope only bd once around the time i should have ov but had no symptoms of ov at all this month but hay you never know!!
Not reading into things but not feeling af or pg usually have alot more symptoms by now only have sore left boob, alittle larger atm but that could be af, bad headache that has lingered for 2 days but again that could be diet ???, not feeling crampy at all and of course the bad mood swings!!!!!
ho hum not reading into things......quick someone slap me

sorry jedd..must have mixed ur post with another one.
she has her b/fast at 8,and biscuit at 10.then lunch 12/1pm.then tea and dinner.in between cups of juice.cup of milk isnt realy a fancy.she b/feeds also to put herself to sleep and mainly for comfort

Hey Geordie, glad things are going well, all the best for your appt on Weds, lol x

Good to hear from you geordie hope everything goes well.
