Lets get some more BFP's this month

Hello all,

Welcome Kay. Sorry about what you've been through hun but stick with us and we'll give you all the help and support that you need. The benefit for you is that you have youth on your side so your body should be just about right for getting a BFP I would think!! Good luck!!

MAF, very jealous of your veggies... ... DH and I want to put some in our garden but haven't quite finished doing the decorating in the house yet since we moved in so that will have to wait a while I think... Totally understand about you freaking out - it's a big step that you've made and we're just all so glad that you're taking us on the journey with you!! You both deserve a BFP so much and you will get one!!

Summer, I did have a good cry last night. I was upset because I'd given myself 7 units of insulin last night and only had chilli for dinner and my reading came back as 7.4 (I'm supposed to keep it below 7). It was the only time this week I've gone over 7 and I was so upset and couldn't understand why. I called my Mum who said that one reading over 7 (when I'm taking 4 readings a day...) isn't anything to worry about and that Jelly was more likely to be affected by me getting stressed about it than having one high reading!! DH is also being wonderfully supportive and trying to stop me worrying. It's horrid though... So I'm still feeling a bit down about it all but I know that I need to get a grip... Anyway, YAY BIG HIGH FIVES FOR EPIDURALS!!!

Ooooh Pistachio, I really hope that the AF witch turns her broomstick around and buggers off!! Keeping everything crossed for you hun!!

VAM, how are you doing honey? Hope you're doing Ok. Thankfully your mammoth cycle has gone!!

Crunchy, sometimes I think it's almost good to hear the bad stories aswell as the bad, but so many things seem to have gone wrong with this PG that I'm almost expecting the worst now and terrible as it sounds, really worried that as so much has gone wrong, that something will be wrong with our little Jelly. I know DH feels the same aswell. Our luck has been so crap. But, on the other hand. I'm over 31 weeks now, so she's got a good chance of being fine!! Like Summer, I'm still so thrilled about your BFP!! Hope the MS has eased a bit...

Big waves to all our other ladies!!

awww thankQ dawnas

SOOOO glad I am not the only wimp! when I tell people in RL that I want an epidural they look at me with pity, ask "Why", and then tell me that I should wait and see because I will be suprised with what my body can take. ---I dont want to be suprised I want it not to HURT!!!!! I dont see why I should put up with the pain if I dont have to. I will have a bond with the baby I have carried her for nearly 9 months already she is already part of me and DP I dont feel the need for pain to make that stronger.

hever i am soooo with you sister! i hate pain and every time i think about it i freak out! my two friends who have recently given birth on gas and air both looked at me with pity when i said i wanted an epidural, well if they want to live in the dark ages

welcome kay and good luck on your journey, wwe have all had very different experiences but are all here for eachother

thankQ summerbird

what was/is your experiance?

Hever and Summer, just one final word on the epidural, make sure you make it very clear verbally and in your birth plan that you want it. My friend asked for one after a very painful start to her labour and it was already too late. Maybe worth checking with MWs how dilated you need to be to have one and how much is too much. You don't want to miss the boat.

But I'm so with you guys, I'm not going to be a hero. I want to get through the birth and not feel that it was the worst thing I've ever done!! I can cope with being exhausted, but exhausted and in agony, why?!

Hi Kay well i dont have much of a story TBH, i am 36 and expecting no1 in 8 weeks time. Me and DH got married in 2007 and started TTC beginning of last year and it took us 6 months which i have discovered is pretty good going. I suffered severe period pains and think i had an early MC when we first started TTC, i got checked out by a gynae who told me my tubes were blocked and i may need treatment - two weeks later i got my BFP!

dawn and hever we should start a womens lib suffragette type movement - 'women against pain and smug mothers!!' i say we are the true heroes! - am off to scribble up that birth plan now!

awww. wat you having girl or boy?
i hope i get a BFP soon. its driving me crazy.

Kay, don't worry hun, your time will come and SOON!!

I'm just a week behind Summer, 31 weeks and 2 days!! We're expecting a pink one!!

Summer, loving your suggestion - just told DH and he laughed, agreeing totally with us. As he said, this PG has been stressful enough for me, so he's suggested that I take everything they offer me!!

i hope so.
n awww

so kay what is your story then? i have just worked out that if i had been TTC at 16 i would have a 20 year old by now! jeez that is scary for me but exciting for you

we dont know what we are having, although i had a lovely dream last night about a little girl but would also like a cheeky little boy.

dawn please dont worry hun, i know you have been through the mill with this pregnancy but i am convinced it will all go well - and ignore the MW giving you exercises to make jelly turn, you go for that C Section!!

so who is on the 2WW then? i want some TTC stories

well my story is:
me and my DP have been TTC DC#1 for about 10month. Been haveing problems with ovulating . We have a GOF very very regularly, but still no luck. Also, i have been getting very of people around me that are already pg or people who already have a DC, but oh well. I am currently on CD10. So just waiting for ovulatiuon CM if it ever arrives.

Kay, if you dont mind me asking when was your termination?

D x

hey MAF no i don't mind it was December 2007

PL how you doing? If you decide to test then let us know

Kay we crossed posts. So sorry for what u've been through

thankQ MAF it still hurts to think about it

Its a difficult choice to make. Kay i've pm'd you through mumsnet so you should get my email addy

it was very difficult. esspeccilly since i was forced to do it and oki al just check.

Kay ive never used the MN chat thingy before so i have no idea how it works. If you can't access my email addy then let me know

i have never used it before etha lol.
and no i cant access it .

Pants! Then i have no idea how it works!

Kay you always email me on my blog email addy which is [email protected]

Morning MAF sorry I didn't reply last night - went to bed ridiculously early.

Anyhow, no AF, temps are still relatively high (although slightly lower than yesterday) and boobies are still a bit sore (when I poke them mostly - or maybe it is because I am poking them?).

Too scared to test now! Plus I do think the witch is probably on her way.

LOL PL i forgot about the poking boob thing! Temps still high is great Remember alot of pg symptoms are the same as AF
