Morning again - just!

Diege we went to see it (and ordered it from here (Can certainly recomend the customer service here BTW, will let you know when it arrives if I recommend the shop on the whole!) It does deffo look better in RL, I haven't seen the khaki one in RL, they only had a blue demo in, but the pictures look good

Tink, I can't decide between two lots of furniture, it is so close, and DH is being no good (plumping for the cheaper option as ever) I am stuck between the King Parrot range, and the Boori, (both in Teak and at Mothercare if you want a peak!) the Boori works out about £250 more expensive, but the furniture looks a lot nicer, and it looks like you get a nicer finish, but is it worth an extra £250 when the KP stuff is already £1000....?????? Will have to decide for sure before the end of today, worked out I have 14 weeks left, which I can take a third of them away just because DH is on call and we can't do anything (decorating etc.) when he is on call, then we have at least 3 more weekends we won't be able to do anything, then another weekend will be out for xmas, plus it is going to take at least a month for the furniture to be delivered.... we are seriously running out of time!

I slept (actually slept!) till 10 this morning feel like I've had a weeks sleep!

Hope everyone is having good weekends? If I don't get back on, Ses hope tomorrow goes really well, I am looking forward to the good news, and the pics

See you all later xxx

Afternoon!

I am 11 weeks today. 12 week scan is a week on Tuesday.

Another gorgeous day!

Been quite busy lately. Treated myself to a shopping spree in Guildford on Friday, Saturday we bought a new car which is fab, and then in the evening we went to my friends 40th birthday which was a barn dance - had to dress up as cow girls and boys, so me and DH had lots of fun.

Today we have been cleaning out the old car ready for selling.

I am exhausted now though and want to sleep but still tons to do

Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine!

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 28/09/2008 16:50

hey gruff- how does that work, i thought you were 3 days ahead of me? your EDD is anyway... but i'm 11wks tomorrow... i dont get it???!! - your weekend sounds busy but good!!

I've been struggling with the kids today, both are still tired from our VERY busy day yesterday, DD wont use her potty with knickers on so we've had 6 accidents so far today.

However yesterday was lovely, my friend and her DH came over from doncaster. We went to the zoo, for a walk round stanley park, for tea at KFC, went to the in-laws pub for an hour, then took them through blackpool illuminations.

GruffaloSoldier · 28/09/2008 17:50

oh hells bells glask - dont tell me Im all wrong?! Eek, I better go and check, I was just going from my scan notes.

Tink - i am so excited to find out what you are having! Nothing like good old suspense is there?!

I am at last in and putting my feet up Watching last nights x factor on itv2 as I missed it last night due to party.

Cant wait for dinner - fish pie yum!

GruffaloSoldier · 28/09/2008 17:58

Hey Glask

Not sure what is going on Glask - just checked scan and edd is def 19/04/09 and at scan I was 8+2, which was a Tuesday, that makes me 11 weeks today surely? oh heck Im all confused!

deanychip · 28/09/2008 18:02

I need to chat with you all.
Im getting so dispondant.
10 months trying, one mc in March.

Am having lots of pregnancy symptoms each month (cruelly) but i am having af all the same.

I get ovulation pains each month, so can time bd, but each month...nothing.
What ma i doing wrong?
Dont know anything about temperature or charts or all that stuff, to complex for my liking.

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 28/09/2008 18:09

gruff- your's is defo right... i suppose i'm just going off the edd that babycentre.com gave me on their due calandar thingy... but my LMP date was 15th july... what was yours?

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 28/09/2008 18:16

sorry x-posted deany.... sorry for your MC, by what i hear the clock starts again after a pregnancy (even a mc) so you'll have been trying now for 6mths by a GP etc...

as for what you're doing wrong you're obviously 'doing it' right to have got pregnant first time round... as for timing OV i used OPK's and got caught within 3mths of ttc... attempted to try temping but was way too complex for me too!! so i purely went off my OPK's.

i get a lot of EWCM around OV time too, and mine only lasts for one day so i know i need to be constantly be checking for that, some womens lasts a couple of days.

Also i had really pregnant symptoms the months i wasn't pg, but none the month i got caught... lots of early pg symptoms are just like AF symptoms for most women.

hope thats helped somehow??

Lorelei97 · 28/09/2008 18:28

Hi deanychip- I have read a lot that it can take up to a year on average to become pregnant. I understand though that you feel down about what isn't working, especially if like myself everyone around you gets pregnant easily. I think you should talk to your doctor and don't give up if they send you away- ask for blood tests and start the process of ruling out anything medical. My GP, after I miscarried and then had no AF for 7 months kept sending me away month after month saying give it another month every time. When I finally insisted to be referred to the hospital for tests and waited 4 months for the appointment I was diagnosed with PCOS and a few months after that my boyfriend advised he has a high level of abnormal sperm. It isn't nice to have that information because it means we know we are pretty much in an uphill struggle but at least we know what we are working with and are not left wondering about what is wrong so I would advise talking to someone. The process of waiting for tests etc takes such a long time that its best to start as soon as you can. Now I don't mean to depress you even more- there are a lot of people who do not have problems like mine and with some time and some medical help become pregnant very easily. As for me 4 months on clomid and just been told today it not working and suggested that I go to 150mg on a last try so fingers crossed. There is a lot of compliacted stuff out there between OPK's and temperature charting- personally I found it all became too overwhelming. At one stage I was waking up in the morning, taking my temperature- peeing on an OPK, taking my folic acid, checking CM throughout the day and I became obsessed, not to mention the amount of money I spent on pregnancy tests! Everyone tells me I need to relax about it and it will happen then but is definitely easier said than done!

GruffaloSoldier · 28/09/2008 18:28

Glask - I didnt have LMP because I was on progest. only pill with no periods so that is why I had the early scan. I looked at the chart in my book and 19th april edd makes LMP 13th July if thats any help?

Deany - I am so sorry that you are having difficulties. Maybe you should look into charting? I think fertility friend is the website poeople have used on here before??

Preseed is supposed to help conception too. I used it and got pg 6 weeks after coming off pill so it may be worth thinking about. Maybe check out charting first though, as preseed is not that cheap. Hope this is helpful, Im afraid thats the only advice I can offer you. Hope you get some good luck soon!

Diege · 28/09/2008 18:32

Evening Hi Gruff, Glask and welcome Deany. Sorry to hear about your mc (I had one in July). I second Glask's advice, and agree about symptoms and not being pregnant...the body can be so cruel. Hope you'll join us and those of us ttc can symptom spot and commiserate together
Work finally finished (so much for an extra 3 hours a week ) so looking forward to x-factor tonight and the ever cheerful Tess of the D'urbs

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 28/09/2008 18:35

Evening Diege. I'm just looking forward to getting the DC's in bed in 26mins (not like i'm counting or anything!!)

Gruff- i should probably just wait until my scan i suppose- hoping to get the date through anytime next week as i'm supposed to be 11wks tomorrow!!- even if i do look 6mths!!

GruffaloSoldier · 28/09/2008 18:44

Ah that will be good glask!yeah im jealous of your bump! im not showing much at all except for huge bloatedness after eating etc!

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 28/09/2008 18:57

after eating i look ready to give birth!! even the midwife commented i was really big for only 10.5 weeks!!i'm only just fitting into my normal sized maternity clothes!! i have a size larger in one pair of trousers i bought (picked up the wrong size) but i'm fitting into them already, only need the bands tightened a couple of holes!! its not actually so good as everyone is already asking how long i have left... it sounds so silly when i say 30wks!!

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 28/09/2008 19:04

latest bump shot just uploaded- and thats before eating!!!

GruffaloSoldier · 28/09/2008 19:05

LOL Glask! maybe its triplets

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 28/09/2008 19:07

haha- Everyone that's seen my bump in RL has mentioned multiples- even the midwife joked about twins!! DH said it better not be more than one as we bought a new car to seat one extra baby!!

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 28/09/2008 19:24

right i'm off for the night... going to go and snuggle up in bed and watch tv, DH isn't home for hours still so i intend to be fast asleep by time he's home!!

SesHasapinkline · 28/09/2008 21:18

Need to do a bit of a catch up on the weekend's posts but hope everyone's had a good one.

I'm trying really hard to imagine I haven't got a scan in the morning but it's hard. At least it's fairly early so I can get it over with. Don't know what I'll do if it's bad news but it's hard to imagine any other outcome. Keep everything crossed for me girls and thank you so much for all your support.

Diege · 28/09/2008 21:26

Oh SES I'll be thinking of you and I'm sure everything will be absolutely fine - there's no reason to think not Let us know how things went when you get the chance xxx
Glask, I showing the piccy on your profile to dh and asked him to guess how pregnant you were...his verdict 'about 7 months?' . But then he is a man .
Oh myself now, so speak tomorrow from office x

Diege · 28/09/2008 21:26

Sorry SES I meant a then, not a sad face!!!

SesHasapinkline · 28/09/2008 21:33

Thanks Diege. Just been reading about your squirty GOFing

Welcome deany. I had mc in April followed by complications / ?2nd mc in June. Hope I get good news tomorrow to give you and others ttc after mc encouragement.

Kooky - hi! Good to hear from you
