1st m/c January, 2nd m/c May, still trying for 3rd BFP

I'm good everyone Just waiting for AF she should be here by tuesday at the latest


Look at the cheeks on pierce! How cute
Sorry your not getting much sleep hopefully he settles soon! :)
 
Sorry bazz. Hoping you're just too early and the bfn turns to a bfp. It's very possible. Are you still temping? If so are temps still up?
 
Still up yet, I usually stop around 15 dpo
But I'm 14 dpo so it would show on a test of think

Thx for the suppet
 
I hope your test was wrong Bazz! FX'd for a BFP tomorrow!

Pierce has chipmunk cheeks like his Daddy did as a baby :)
 
Thanks angel no more testing for me! ;)

Hope you mangaged to get some sleep this weekend !
 
You have a lot of patience...I was a poas addict!

Pierce had a 4 hour sleep stretch last night! Was dreamy, but killed my ta-ta's...they are used to him feeding often, so they were quite full!

Hope this finds you all doing well xoxo
 
Yay for four hours of sleep!!

Who knew breast feeding was such hard work
Good for you for sticking to it though
 
Spotting has started
Temp has dropped

AF should start today
But at least I had a normal cycle 31 days

Thx for the support girls
 
Sorry to hear about af bazz but baby dust for your Oct bfp!!

Hope everyone else is well! Just love those chubby cheeks Angel :) x
 
:grr: That witch! Glad you can see the bright side, a more regular cycle :flower: On to October! :dust:
 
Exactly-your body seems to be getting regular and therefore getting ready to grow you a baby :-) My bfp month was October (well beginning of November), crazy how that's a year ago-flies by-and so as much as it may seem like forever, as ttc does, you will be waddling along soon thinking about all things baby :-)

Angel-how much does Pierce weigh? Nia is a big girl :-/ im exclusively breastfeeding (oh uses expressed in bottle) and she was 55cm at birth, 8lb 6oz and was 13lb at 7.5 weeks! It's ok for a boy-OH jokes she's going to be a shot putter!

Btw-today she has been fussy-coming off the breast at every let down (she should be used to it so doubt it's the flow) and it's so sad to see :-( OH has been giving her my milk in the morning the last two days as well as the usual night feed when she first wakes, so I can only think she's starting to prefer the bottle. ..even though she's been having one a day since birth. I've got a sore throat today so maybe she has too-although that doesn't explain the bottle preference.

What a big girl, soooo sweet! Pierce was 12.5lbs 23" long last week at 8w 3d (6lb 15oz at birth). I've had to start giving Pierce a morning and afternoon bottle (EBM) b/c he was getting too fussy with the night bottle (preferring me over a bottle). I had been putting an ounce of formula in his night bottleto help stretch his sleeping. I stopped doing that a few weeks ago and he is less gassy at night and is mostly feeding every 3-5 hrs. I cherish those 5 hours stretches, but my ta-ta's are out if sorts as a result!

When the baby starts sleeping longer, do you wake and pump if engorged? Sometimes my breast is so tight/full he has to come on and off until he can latch on properly.

:wave: ladies

How are things Bazz??
 
Nia stopped being fussy by next day ha ha! Erm yes-the key is to leave as long as you're comfortable with (I sometimes wake and I can't move and my top is soaked!) then only express an ounce to take pressure off-your breasts soon adjust to the longer stretches. I stuff a towel up my top*sometimes ha ha
 
So just pump off enough to relieve pressure if/when it's too bad. I'll take the full breast for a night of sleep! Thank you for the info!
 
Hi Ladies - how is everyone? Angel love your avatar. What a gorgeous picture!
Bazz - any updates from you? How is the clomid treating you? Starry, Mrs, A, how are you all getting on? Who have I missed?

From my side, life is hectic trying to work and look after baby. I cried when I went back to work and had another mini breakdown last week. I really dont want to be at work but it is my company and I've worked so hard over the years building it up. I am thinking about throwing in the towel and having another year at home but really need to think long and hard about that. Crazy that I started my own business to have flexibility and as it turns out, I have ended up having even less flexibility. DH is being a champion - trying to do more with Josh and has told me he would be happy to support us while I'm not working. Anyway - going to make big decisions over the next couple of weeks. At least I'm only working until 1:30 daily and then get in a few more hours in the evening but I'm exhausted already. Got flu last week (I think just from being totally worn out) so am at home today. Anyway...enough miserable mumbling from me...

Josh is nearly 5 months - where has the time gone?!?! He is so precious and such a happy little thing. Up until last night he was waking up only once a night (between 7pm and 7am - the other night he slept from 7pm to 5am, woke up for 15 mins and went back to sleep until 8am!) which has been amazing. But 2 little teeth started coming through on the weekend and last night he was up every 2 hours. Shattered today. He is now sleeping in his cot in his own room and we have changed his pram from a basinet to a big boy chair. We also started attempting solids this weekend but most of it ended up on the floor or on him. It was hilarious though. Here are a few recent pics - dont know how to turn them around?!?. I am biased but I do think he is a gorgeous little soul. His facial expressions melt my heart. We have a wonderful nanny that looks after him during the day. The two of them have such fun and he smiles from ear to ear every day when she arrives. It is also summer here now and Josh loves just lying on a blanket under the trees. Keeps him entertained for ages. We have also started swimming lessons which he adores.

We are very keen to try for number 2 but no sign of AF at the moment. I am still BFing but he does get one formula bottle a day when I am at work. I really thought because he was sleeping so well, that AF would be back by now but not.

Well done to anyone who has made it this far

Would love to hear everyone else's updates? Hope all the new mums are coping well?

xx
