TTC #4 - Join the madness... If you dare!!

[babyblue3]

Ok Ladies... new thread, since the old one was getting too long and dragging my computer (and Kat's) down with it!

MrsD - cant believe you are 30 weeks already! So you found that cutting out the lactose helps? It will be almost a week for me and I have noticed some improvement, but not a lot. Of course, he is still getting a milk-based formula supplement to the BFing. I am going to switch to a soy formula and see if it makes a difference as well. Until then... God give me strength!!! LOL

wow *scorps" 23 weeks already, are we discussing names yet? you know I loev a good name thread lol

meanbean - I am a POAS addict, here's my story of this one, CD15 OV day, CD25 tested BFN (tesco), CD26 tested BFN (ebay cheapie), CD27 (UCL 27 days), v v v v v v faint line on ebay cheapie, had this before she's asleep upstairs, so bought 2 CBDs and a Boots one, first CBD wasn't work, second one Pregnant 1-2 weeks, Boots faint line, this morning day period due, faint line on ebay cheapie

So 3+6 today, LONG way to go, first milestone 8 weeks going to try and blag a scan due to previous mc

SK, lmao at all your testing. Once I get a bfp I never seem to test again its just the week before that I lose all sense of sanity lol!

I love a name thread too

Yes I'm on fb - Stephanie Croxton, looking out smiling lol

Names - well this is it,,,

Lacey
Maisie

LOL

Others are Reilly Jamie & Mimi

I heart Lacey big time. DH likes Maisie. Although he has no say in anything, so if i want L, L it is.

Means - On FB as well...msg me Marianne Ferrari (pic is my face only with white background).

LOL at all the POAS going on. I never did understand POAS after you get your BFP! Maybe once, just to make sure.... but whats the point after that??? LOL... darn addictions I guess!!

Scorps - I so agree with Means about the viability thing. That was my biggest milestone. After I hit 24 weeks, I relaxed sooo much more. Few more days for you then... And if I may put in my 2 cents about the name... I would def go with Lacey Very girly and pretty. It would also give all your LOs different initials. My DH and I could only agree on Marco for a boys name... the drawback is that both my DSs have the same exact initials 'MGG'. I guess its not really a big deal.

Took my DS2 for his one month doc visit. The little beast is now 10lbs 14oz!! Thats up from 7lbs even when we left the hospital! He also grew 3 inches! Doc almost fell off her chair!! LOL. No wonder my arms and shoulder get so sore from bouncing him during his worst colic sessions!!

Scorps - I agree, Like Lacey think it flows with your other names, I haven't even thought about names, it was so hard coming up with DD3's never mind another one who will be a girl as well no doubt. My Dp has such weird choices sometimes I think he is stuck in the 70s he like Susan and Frances and Samantha no offence to anyone but not my taste.

babyblue - I like to see the lines getting darker lol, with the new Clearblue tests it tells you how many weeks gone you are so this week I was 1-2 weeks, hopefully next week will be 2 nad the week after 3, think it only goes to >3 weeks so will stop then, I have loads of ebay cheapies and seems wrong to pee on them lol brilliant little marco is doing well

I am on FB I am one of scorps friends initials are SLR, double barrelled first name I am the only person with my name on FB

I like Lacey so much more than Maisie.

SK - my DH likes Eleanor and Bobby and things that are just so not me.

Babyblue - goodness me on M's weight did you try BF?

Sweet kitty, I'm an 80's baby and a Susannah lol! My friend just named her baby after me so it must be having a revival lol!

Scorps, I love Maisie and Lacey! Lacey is a bit more unusual, I think Maisie went through a popular phase. Ohhh they are both lovely...I think I prefer Lacey.

Babyblue, that is an amazing weight! I bet he has yummy little baby legs at that weight!

Marianne and Stephanie, added you both. You can see my mad family now lol! I loooove facebook! Sooo addictive!

CD22 ish here, had boob pains today and feeling heavy on and off down there......I love all this maybe I am to find that no I'm not, cracks me up pmpl!

Oh and forgot to say, parents and family on fb, they don't know I am ttc (none of their usiness lol....they'd only have something to say about it lol!).

business* doh lol.

same here please keep mum on FB about the little bean as well

Will do, the touble with fb...everybody knows what you're up to lol! Still addcitive though lol.

Had sore boobies today and a heavy feeling down there, dh thinks I am. I think he thinks that every month lol! Am I making sense?

Is everyone enjoying the bank holiday weekend?

Went to my cousins engagement party yesterday. They had 50 people and held it at a banquet hall (Italians are famous for going all out). Was the first time we all got dressed up for a long time. Well of course, I was very self consious with all my post partum wobbly bits, so I wore my control top knickers that strangled me most of the night, and a maternity outfit from previous pregnancy that looked nice but was a little tight around the chest! What a disaster! I looked good, but could I BF in that get up?? HELL NO! There was no private place for me to feed the baby (not even in the large bathroom was there a chair). So I had to sit at my table and whip out the boob! Finally got fed up with that and decided to give him a bottle. By the end of the day, my BBs were so full I had to unzip the back of my dress to make room for them!! LOL. I BF the baby in the front seat of my SUV in the parking lot (it was a 30 min drive home and I could not wait!). What an adventure! Next time... forget the vanity, I am wearing something I can get off in a hurry! LOL. On the upside, I ate like a pig and even got to have a couple of shots of Baileys (since he got the bottle). Diet starts Sept 1st!!

Means - our bank holiday is next weekend, after which the DCs go back to school and DH goes back to work (arghhh).

Sore boobies...check.

Bigger boobies....check (although this could be a bfing thing feeding dd lol)

Niggling pains....check.

Bloated balloon feeling....check!

Going crazy...check!

Craving toast....check (although admittedly this one could be an excuse lol).

LMAO,,, oh dear!

Babyblue, the holidays have gone so quickly haven't they! LMAO at the feeding situ.....we got married when ds1 was 5 months old....my poor boobies just kept getting bigger lol! I remember that undoing a tight dress feeling well lol! Good on you for just getting them out when needed, so umcomfy though isn't it! I alwasy feel like I spend the first 6 months feeding in the car when out and about lol!

CD24.......ov guess on cd 14-17.....when can I start POAS?

Girls, I need someone to get me in check here, my boobs are seriously sore, I have a dull persistent ache in my womb and my lower back/pelvis is aching! AF isn't due until friday! I NEVER get symptoms this early! I am actually starting to convince myself that I am....someone slap me quick!

I'm not going to sleep tonight!!!!!!

Keeping fingers crossed for you Means I am betting the POAS will start real soon!! LOL

Hello all! Computer been playing up so not on very much at all.

Wanted to say huge congratulations to Sweetkitty, hope everything is going ok so far

Laughing at you Meanbeans! Terrible the effect that ttc has on your body and brain! Hope that you'll get good news soon, will be waiting!!!

Scorps can't believe you're over half way now already! Hope everything is a bit easier and you're not stressing too much.x

Babyblue!! Oh the joys of the ever growing boobs! It's getting closer for me now hooray!

Going for another scan in the next couple of weeks, to check where the placenta is and to give me a 'having baby' time and date, which I always find weird but at least I have the novelty of knowing when!

Girls all back at school so house is quiet, apart from dd4 who misses them terribly! Building work hasn't started and have been living with no running hot water or heat for 3 months now keep being put off and I am beginning to go bananas!.....

Hope everyone else is ok

Meansbeans you are funny i am at your symptom list!

When i got pg with dc4, DH was going to Thailand on cd13 and i normally ov cd19. But obv still got pg, we had sex the day he left and i obv got pg! I had no fertile signs and i only tested at 4 weeks because i was so fall over tired, i nearly fainted

DH keeps talkign about a dc5 at some point. I think not, he has put me off so much. I've had a horrid pregnancy so far cos of him.

DS's back at school on Monday, just me and Mimi for 3.5 months...until dd2 comes . Then life will be manic fun

Still don't know on names. Want to avoid a thread...

Lacey
OR
Maisie

Middle names we like are Amber, Jane and Jean, possibly Ella. Not too fussy on middle names. If fn Lacey want normal middle name. DH doesnt like Lacey much but i can have it, as he realises he owes me.

Maisie Amber!!!!!! Sounds lovely to me!

Well been at the childrens cancer hospital all morning. Joe had his checkup (been in remission 5 years now was born with a neuroblastoma). The ward makes me well up, beautiful smiling children, some with no hair. My heart can't take it! The doc said that the chance of his (DS1) returning now are slim to none. I am so so so so so overjoyed!

Anyway on the way home I popped in to get some cheapy pg tests.... I bought 8 lol....just for POAS addiction fun lol! Dh said do one, you have 8, so I did....

I got a SLP!!!!!!!!!!!!! Skinny Little Positive!!!!!! It is faint but it is definitely pink and ~I know its not an evap as I used them last month and they were ALL stark white!!! Holy moly Batman!!!!!! (runs around like a headless chicken).

Please be a STICKY LITTLE BABY! I'M GOING TO TRY TO EASE OFF THE BOOBIE A BIT AND PRAY I GET A STICKY! Sorry for caps, too lazxy to retype.....being pg and tired and all!!! MWah!!!!!!

ooh you need to buy a clearblue my lovely

Sorry to hear of oyur ds, i didnt know

I just cannot decide on maisie or lacey.

Don't know whats wrong with my camera it was pants at focusing! It is soooo much more obvious in real life...afternoon test too will POAS first thing...OMG!!!!!

its very blurry but i think i can see it

Scorps, I will be in POAS heaven with my cheapies for a few days, if she's not here by Friday I will buy a clearblue or a first resposnse??? Which is best. I'm a cheapie test girl normally (scandalous prices to tell you what you already know!

I knew it!!! Last night I just knew it!

TBH the Boots own two for a fiver are just as good, i got v strong BFP at 4 week + few days

Scorps, I think I must only be 10/11dpo....I never test this early...... I'm a bit !!!!

I don't 'properly' beleive it until I see it get darker. All I know is that I used those last month and they were clear...no colour, no evap lines. There is a def line which is pink, even though it's faint.

I am more than a bit excited!

Had shooting nipple pains today and more niggles in my womb area. I need to record these stmptoms for number 5 pmpl!!! (I am joking haha).

Thankyou for putting up with me.xxxx
