2fingers22018 · 12/08/2019 16:31

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF i dnt know i cant make my mind up lol ive been lookin at rescue dogs but i dnt know if a pups a better idea and i could train it from the word go. I know its a lot to train a pup but at least i could get them brought up with my neices and nephews and teach them to b gd with kids. What type of dog do u have?

2fingers22018 · 12/08/2019 16:33

Ive seen a lot of little terriers but I do love a big fluffy dog haha

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 12/08/2019 16:56

@2fingers22018 we have a rescue one he is an aylestone bulldog (you might have to google) we got him when he was 18 months and was fully trained and good with my dd who would of only been 5 but then he was brought up with kids so I know what you mean.

CloudSway · 12/08/2019 17:18

@2fingers22018 yes I'm ok, thanks for asking. Just in that weird frustrated stage waiting for September to roll around, bit wobbly but (get ready for tmi!) feeling slightly more human after the 1st dtd in about a year that wasn't timed for ovulation! I had genuinely forgotten that sex wasn't always a means to an end when a stick/calendar tells you to lol. Sorry, Tim I know but I don't have much else to be pleased about 🤣🤣 are you all psyched up and ready to start?! So exciting!

Speaking of exciting, congratulations guys!! FlowersIt's so very sweet of you @veeboo to be mindful of us in terms of 'baby bombs' - its quite touching when anyone is sensitive about the subject, it happens so rarely, so thank you xx - but you don't need to worry. It's mostly positivity and relief when bfps happen on here, it renews my faith in doctors and the process, and I'm so delighted for you both ❤

@bunhead34 welcome! Sorry you're going through it, but happy to have you! I know literally FA about thyroid, but it sounds like a bugger, hope you're appointment shows up soon. Are you uk based? We don't get funding in my area but we got an appointment pretty quick so fx. How is your OH about it all?

2fingers22018 · 12/08/2019 21:01

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF my last dog was a rescue but seems like 99% of the rehoming centers say cant be rehomed with small children very frustrating, maybe the dogs they have are too lively for kids i dunno

2fingers22018 · 12/08/2019 21:08

@CloudsSway no such thing as tmi anymore lol its gd on the rare occasion it happens naturally isnt it? Sometimes i feel like ttc takes away any intimacy its like im tired not in the mood but i NEED to dtd so it starts to feel like such a bloody chore! Im excited but also gettin more nervous i told work ive got sum hosp appts comin up but i didnt say why i felt like cryin when i told them it was awkward😶and made all this feel even more real. I couldnt sleep last nite either my minds too busy atm x

veeboo · 13/08/2019 08:15

@2fingers22018 how you feeling today? I cried when I told my boss. It's tough. You're doing so well.

Hi @2fingers22018 @finallytakingtheplungewithivf. Sorry af isnt coming, it's frustrating when you really need it to isnt it!

I'm doing okay. Just a few minor symptoms so far. It's so early still I'm not sure I believe it yet.
