All welcome.

Hi all, happy birthday iggy.

My best friend told me she's pregnant. I'm delighted (really !) but I'm annoyed at my dh. He rang to say that he'd arrived safely (he's away for a couple of days), so I told him the news, joking that I might need to open the last wine bottle in order to absorb it properly. His response was a rather shocked 'but you are happy for her, aren't you?', followed by a very brisk sounding 'that's alright then'. Not quite the support I was after, just a 'Ahh, I know it's difficult' would have done it . And he might miss ovulation !

And I am delighted, she's a fab mum and there cannot be enough of her gorgeous little ones in the world .

Hi All,

Nothing to report... I am on the 12 week wait and have approached week 5 and 2 days. I keep grabbing my boobs to ensure they are hurting and feeling sore (I know, anyone who see's me must think I am a nutter!). I yawn to ensure that I am feeling tired - this is really torture!! I keep thinking... is it now I lose the little bean... I know its a dreadful thought but I guess I just wanted to type it to get it out of my mind. Postive thoughts.

You are all working towards your BFP and I am sitting here with no bd and just hoping the days will go quicker for me. I feel in limbo land right now... Okay rant over!!! someone hit me.

Hi funtime - I totally sympathise. It is a funny mix of emotions when that happens. Hope you are okay?

Thanks yellow and sorry to hear that it's over . I saved you a glass of my wine last night (hands over a lovely big glass ).

hello ladies,
funtime is this your first baby? I can't remember. I agree with you about insensitive DH comments - I just think they don't properly get it.
Yellow sorry to hear it's over, I think the worrying is worse than just having a BFN and knowing where you are.
Cindy I don't blame you one little bit. I don't feel I can relax fully and don't think I will till I have a baby in my arms. I am looking forward to 20 week scan (3 weeks today) and then might chill out a bit more. I'm not really showing - maybe a little but finally my boobs have stopped growing, apparantly that's it until month 8 and then they'll grow again! God - I'm a 36E (have always been a 32C enhanced nicely with ultrabras - now I'm in some boulder holders!!
Agree that everyone seems happier in the snow

Becky goush 20 weeks, if only I can close my eyes and be there now!! I am praying to get to the 8 week mark and then hopefully get an early scan, to know if we are still on to having a baby. Then I will relax a little until week 12 and then for the 20 week scan. Time will go quickly won't it?? I am overweight so everything is big ... boobs, belly... I am hoping that sensible eating will ensure that I don't put too much weight on - I will let you know if that worked. I have decided not to do any exercise until week 12 as I don't want anything to happen to the little bean - I know its okay to exercise, but just in case I over do it with the running.

Cindy - it will pass so quickly!!! Some moments I think it's all gone so slowly and some moments I think - god - nearly halfway there! I have found the trick so far is not to eat more than normal - just lots of lean meat and veg and salad. I mentioned to the doctor and they endorsed that this was a healthy diet. The beans only need 200-300 more calories a day than usual and as my doctor said, most of us eat 200-300 more than we NEED everyday anyway your eating habits don't need to change. In fact I lost 8lb in the first month of knowing which just goes to show what those 3 bottles of white wine a week were doing!!!
Happy Bday Iggy - doing anything nice?

God.......I miss wine!! Of course I still have the odd SMALL glass with dinner when out but there's nothing like drinking bottle after bottle with the girls.........Or opening that 2nd bottle with DH on a Friday night and getting tipsy together - ahh......

becky your post about wine made me smile

The only upside to the BFN on my birthday was the alcohol that night

I have managed a week of celebrations - with last weekend away with DH - then this weekend am seeing my family for more presents etc. all very nice

Blimey Becky, where did that time go?! (altough it probably seems an age to you ). Everything crossed for the 20 week scan.

I'm very lucky in that I have a gorgeous 2 year old monster ds . If you're 17ish weeks, then keep an eye out for movement, I first felt it at about 18/19 weeks. I'd felt a sort of 'windy' popping for a couple of days and then I was in an important meeting and got something so definite, I nearly shouted out !

Thanks funtime - lovely glass of wine!

Does anyone else on here fantasise about being one of those women who doesn't know they are pregnant and who carries on getting periods then one day you go to the loo and get urge to push? Ah, just me then...

Yellow you're not alone... I only thought about it last night when I discovered that a pair of jeans I haven't worn for a few weeks are getting a bit tight. Nevermind that I've just had AF, I actually thought "oooh, imagine if I was pregnant and I just didn't know..." Yeah. All the cakes I've been eating have NOTHING to do with ill fitting jeans...

Oh well, I've just ordered a new batch of OPKs and am sitting here sipping of GFJ. Started the Februari BD-fest yesterday; here's to hoping!

(passing tall glasses of GFJ spiked with babydust all around)

Me too Yellowflowers - I even refuse to take lemsip or ibuprofen just in case

It's very quiet on here at the moment. There have been so many BFPs we might have to advertise for new blood !

Still no positive on the OPKs so DH is being attacked every 5 mins just in case .

How funny funtime - I was thinking that we need some extras too, except I love out little gang as well.

My dh has temp of 38.72/101.70 and feels ill. Will post in appropriate place here for advice but does anyone know if that means I should call doctor or just make him drink liquids and put him to bed?

Hi Yellowflowers - not sure about the temperature thing, but probably worth giving NHS Direct a call ? Hope he feels better soon.

I had a rotten night last night - wide awake from 3am and have felt very spaced out all day - hot flushes this evening and the glands on my neck are now so swollen it is painful to turn my head I've had an odd sore throat for a few days and that is getting worse too. Not sure what it is - I have my annual performance appraisal tomorrow and my boss is travelling quite a long way to see me, so need to get up and go in, provided I'm not infectious

Had the chat with DP - our issue appears to be "performance anxiety" and he has suggested I buy some sexy underwear ! Trouble is, I'm nearly 3 stone overweight - I will never look good with the lights on Need to find some ideas to spice things up ..

ok then - are you happy for newcomers? I am looking for a ttc thread that doesn't have a month in the title as it was depressing me too much hopping from one to the next once AF arrived. Will you home me?

I recognize some of your names from threads earlier in the year (my name used to be twoplease in case anyone remembers) - i am ttc #2 (hope thats ok?) and we've been at it for very nearly a year now. Fingers crossed this is our month although have had cystitis so might have missed the really important days. am on cd 17, so into this months 2ww.

is it ok to hang around with you guys?

Thanks Jools - did lots of internet research and given him calpol (he can't swallow pills) and after a rest he's now up and had some dinner - phew. Just weird because even just after ovulation my temp is mid 36s and his went straight up to high 38s so I was worried.
Guess I can't ask him for a shag now, though we did manage yesterday.

re getting your man excited. Can you go to a bar and start whispering naughty things? Or text him a dirty message in the middle of the day (make sure it is to him not someone else by mistake!) Or have a weekend away? Or suggest he join you in the shower? Or could you have a couple of nights where you say you know the sex thing is pressurised so can you explore eachother's bodies (kissing, stroking etc) without sex just to reacquint yourselves with each other - could be in the dark if you prefer. Just some ideas from years of reading women's mags...

Hi Yellowflowers and others here from the aiming for July/August baby threads (and anyone else who wants to join us) - just popping in to let you know about this thread. Many on those threads have disappeared from the latest ones, so started the thread to keep in touch. Thought about you as soon as I hit the post button.

Hi flintski - welcome to the thread. It's been very lucky for lots of people so it's great to have new recruits into the endless obsession of ttc... how long have you been trying? Are you trying for first, second...etc?

yellow - sorry to hear it was definitely a cp but at least you conceived.

iggy - sorry to hear AF got you too.

Here's hoping this month will be successful for all of us!!!

no news from me. DH says he wants to 'not try' this month but we will still have sex just not in a oh-so-timed-obsessive-kind-of-way. That just makes me stressed as now I have to work on seduction and try not to get too psychotic if / when we miss 'the time'...arrghh. We did BD (sorry had loving sex) yesterday (CD9) but I think it's way too early for it to be in with a shot...luckily we're off on holiday on friday so will make my attempts to BD easier...

how are you all?

welcome flintski

Julesiam there is a game called Nooki which might help...it makes you do different things, not kinky or anything ;) i found it to be fab. I am ow too so i go for stuff that is sexy but covers me up a bit, like camisoles or longer basques that hold things in and my partner deffo aproves so maybe try that?

hello everyone else

Hi flintski - sorry missed your message when posting lastnight. You are very welcome and I remember you ask two please too - do you want to add yourself to the list?

Dh home from work today - despite being ill he didn't flinch too much when I suggested he try very hard to get better so I can have some sperm later! Only day 11 now but no chance tomorrow or next day because of evening work committments so ideally we'd get tonight in and
then day 14 (I usually ovulate day 16 or day 23 depending on whether it's a short or long cycle)

xx

Welcome flintski, you are most welcome ! I posted on a Christmas 2ww thread and then just couldn't face joining another month/seasonal one. I'm also ttc #2, but we're a mixture of first timers and those of us who've simply forgotten how painful it was first time around .

Jools - I find that doing the occasional thing that's completely out of character seems to do it for my dh (finding me in bed without anything on, a 'no-knickers day', attacking him on the sofa sort of thing ). Out main problem is getting any privacy from ds.

Positive on the ov. test today. I've texted dh to tell him not to be too late tonight!
