Waiting to TTC part 2!

[bebejones]

Shiney new thread before we drop off the end of the last one!

In bed sick, so snuck back in where there are ppl talking.

JSFN I was putting in my two pennies reading on the thread about thrush and TTC, and one of the other MNers mentioned that excess pant snot can be an early sign of pg. So it's sounding more and more like a accidental happy BFP for you!

Good to hear you're on the mend again BBJ

Also it is apparently possible to OV twice in one cycle & sort of 'miss' an AF. (I looked into this a while back) Maybe you are OVing late?! Possible?

Thanks for nice comment about DD...she is pretty cute also a bit of a monster though!

Pant Snot LMFAO!!! Think the boys in my team are wondering what the hell I'm reading that is so funny as property contracts aren't generally amusing!!!

Here's hoping that it may be a positive sign what with the back ache, headaches, dizzy spells and "odd" feeling abdomen. If that is the case then I'll be on here tomorrow (testing in the am with FMU) to tell you all how DH took it........ Although not sure how wise it is to tell him just as he rushes off to work.

Should I leave it and tell him later in the day? The only problem is that later in the day means the train journey to my parents place and I think he may need a little time to come to terms with it before telling anybody else (and there is no way I can hide it from my parents!!!)

Sorry to hear that you're sick NMCB -

NMCA just read your other post RE cooked pant snot - fingers crossed for you too!!! x

Hello everyone! I have read some of this thread but just wanted to introduce myself HB and I recently got married but have to wait till after our honeymoon (end of aug) before we can ttc. The only reason being that the anti-malarial drugs don't mix with pregnancy. So, until then I'll join you on this thread!

I'm very excited about the prospect of ttc (although I don't think I know what I'm letting myself in for!). Hope to get to know you lovely ladies more

YAY!!! Welcome squirrel007 come and join the party!!

where are you going on honeymoon?? sounds liek somewhere fun and exotic from the anti malarial drugs!!

Hello justshagging we're off to Africa on safari, it's going to be great!

Going to restart my exercise routine in preparation, it got a bit neglected during the run-up to the wedding. Plus I already bought some folic acid - now I just need some patience!!

Thanks JSing I didn't have much in the CPS region tbh. Am due in the next day or so, so am trying to be patient and leave the clear blue in the cupboard. Can I ask what sort of test an FMU is?

Would love to take you up on that hot whiskie drinkie but I'm on sips of water today as I have a tummy bug.

Welcome and Congrats Squirrel. You're very keen looking to get knocked up so soon after getting hitched. It's well worth it though

oooooh - you'll have an amazing time on safari - My Dad treated my sister and I to one last family holiday a couple of years ago and it was the best holiday I've ever been on (except for my honeymoon!!!)

FMU is first morning urine (leart from stalking reading posts on MN. Aparently is has a greater concentration of HCG (get me and my acronyms!!!) and so is more likely to give an accurate reading. I've been using First Response tests so in theory they should have given me a BFP on the 1st day of being late but you never know.......

Welcome Squirrel! Honeymoon sounds fab, very I'm still waiting for mine...3years on!!

Biscuits - poor you, sounds nasty Hope you feel better soon!

JS - you are going to have to tell us as soon as you ahve tested 2moro...on tenterhooks!

Hi all, thanks for the welcome

NMCB, guess we're quite keen, but it's a good time for us right now so don't see the point in waiting around! Hope the tummy bug goes away.

bebe I told HB that there'd be no babies without a honeymoon, so he got it sorted super quick! Think he's keener than I am

justshagging awww, what a lovely thing for your dad to do

Squirrel - unfortunately I found out I was PG 2 weeks before our December wedding, we were planning to honeymoon the following June/July but had a baby instead! Think we will be one of those couples that end up having a honeymoon on their 25th Wedding anniversary!

Am throwing myself into preparations for DDs birthday party in order to keep my brain occupied & also keep me away from the other conception threads! SO broody, hoping lots of friends bring their little babies to the party so I can have lots of cuddles!

Any news JS?!

Still no AF.
Did a test this morning and it was a BFN
Had some seiously odd dreams last night, all about getting a BFP and being pregnant. I must have woken up about 4 times and wondered if it was real or a dream. DH was laughing at me as I fell asleep really early and he stayed up reading. I started sleep taking and he thought it was hilarious. Aparently I kept saying "it's day one" "the cycle, it's day one!!" WTF?!?!?

Feeling utterly crap this morning. Like I may throw up at any moment but not getting my hopes up based on that as I have really bad IBS and a gluten intolerence and so ofter have days and week where I have horrible nausea.

Now in a bit of a conundrum, do I tell him that I'm late and risk freaking him out? or do I wait? Tempted to chat to my mum this weekend but not sure if that is unfair on him......

Oh dear JS That is a tricky one. I'd tell him you are late but that you have had a couple of BFNs. Possibly all the stress of situation delaying AF even more, maybe if it still hasn't arrived after the weekend ring GP?

Yeah - will pop to the GP on Monday morning. They don't take calls or book appointments in advance unless you are willing to wait for 2 weeks to see the Dr!!!!!

JS - I know you are prob away right now, but got fingers crossed for you that things resolve themselves one way or another over the weekend!

Another jab done...8 more to go! 8 more weeks then I'm on the countdown to TTC!

welcome squirrel

am Very excited as now its augast i am "allowed" to start taking my folic acid... which have been sitting in the drawer for a while waiting unti 1st Aug!

nannyl - How exciting, enjoy it with a glass of something sparkling! I caved and started taking mine a few days ago , had to start so I wouldnn't 'waste' any when I switch to prenatal vits! (That's how I justified it to myself! )

Also got DH on the zinc at last! The bottle says that it is for boosting your immune system, so he doesn't suspect a thing! Woo ha ha ha!!

lol

OH has zinc and he knows exactly what its for...

i think he has to take it with meals... have allowed him to start it from September (though he did expect to be taking it last week, after we had bought it together, along with my sanatogen pronatal vits ready for in a couple of months time. )

All my vitamins *& DHs Zinc) say to take 'preferably with a meal', I think it's just so you don't take them on an empty stomach. I take mine before bed, so not with a meal, but I'm fairly sure I don't have an empty stomach!

Can't make my mind up whether or not I will get Pregnacare or Sanatogen. Sanatogen are cheaper I think but I took Pregnacare last time but they did taste funny Still a couple of months off, for now I shall just hang around the bus stop with you guys!

i am having sanatogen.... but will switch to pregnacare conception for the month before we TTC at which point OH will have the well man conception tablets!

i think i'll stick with sanatogen when pg... my last boss had them and both she (and him) were doctors and they were clearly good enough for them...

I did have to stop the pregnancare when I was PG last time as I couldn't eat with them when I had the awful ms. My MW said as long as I had folic acid she wasn't worried. So will keep that in mind next time too.

Hope JS is ok? Any news JS?

Hi nannyl

I'm just wondering - when's the best time to start taking folic acid? I bought some but haven't started on them yet. And what's the zinc for? I'm a bit clueless...

Squirrel - it's recommended that you take folic acid for at least 3 months before you TTC & then for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. But it is actually a really beneficial supplement so doesn't hurt to take it anyway! Zinc for the blokes helps the little swimmers!
