<25 BFPs!! 12 births!! Welcome to the world turtle babies!>

[firstbaby25]

Just testing my new signature... Looking for ginge's post on how to get a turtle on there next ... See below. I was that excited Sarachka that I showed my OH!!

 

[emandi]

Newbie- when were you going to test again? I'm sorry for being so forgetful! I know you just told me!

I am SO tired. I fell asleep at 1815 on the couch! So glad my OH was okay with me taking a quick He entertained our DD's until their bedtime then woke me so I could go say goodnight to them. I made the mistake of coming back downstairs onto the couch, started nodding off again and he said, "Why don't you go up and snuggle into those warm new sheets?" (We just bought some very cozy microfleece sheets.) Of course though, I couldn't be bothered to go back up those terribly long stairs and told him as much and then fell back asleep for an hour on the couch. Woke up with heartburn but was hungry and nauseous- the only thing that sounded right was nutella on toast. Have to feed that chocolate craving huh? So now here I am... posting on a thread where all the other members are sleeping soundly over the pond... (with a couple here in the states!)

Molly! You must be pregnant!

 

[firstbaby25]

I just watched ' 16 and pregnant' the Leah one. She got pregnant with twins after a month of being with her rebound boyfriend at 16. Jeez. Why is it so easy for so many people?

Why don't I need to pee yet? I guess at least it will more than likely be strong enough to test

Sarachka I seen this a few times and my sister is one of these people that did just that (though she was 22 but as I said in an earlier post they are super fertile my mum and sister and can get pregnant on their period - my sister has bc pills AND an implant to stop her from getting pregnant).

However, since deciding to ttc I have had this thought that I wish me and Adam had just been caught... BUT when it happens for us dear, we will KNOW we wanted that baby, that we made our wombs such a lovely home and didn't inadvertently do anything we shouldn't have, we will not have a 'big decision' chat, we will be ready for it, we will have wanted said baby from the minute of conception and furthermore might even be able to pinpoint conception They are a few reasons... Others surround our circumstances, there will be less stress you will be in the right situation with your oh etc etc.

The main thing I think is when me and OH got together we all the time and had we been stupid probably woulda got pregnant... But we weren't and that was 5 years ago... Now we don't have the same libido or sense of urgency we will have to TRY to conceive so is probably gonna take a bit longer...

hi emandi:wave:
Are you doing today? Just done 2hrs and it's still only half done

But the sun has come out and with the snow it's beautiful, so will go for a walk with after lunch.

Molly, please today please please?

hellooo Trinitymom:wave: Are the effects of pregnancy in easing your MS immediate, or is it when progesterone levels peak that you notice a difference? I was reading about it last night and that they're investigating the use of progesterone to help MS sufferers since pregnant women have some respite. Interesting stuff. Hope it's immediate for you!

 

[firstbaby25]

Would it be nice if your pee turned pink when pregnant or something, would make life far easier!

You'd think that in this day and age there'd be some kind of device to detect fertilization, we've put man on the moon after all. I must work on inventing the HollyMonkey Conceptor-Detector- I could make a fortune! But it would take the magic out a bit, and what would us girls have to talk about! I guess we'd be comparing the loudness of the 'beep' on our HMCD's, "it was only a really faint beep..."

I hear you entirely!!!
I personally slightly regret 5 five years of birthcontrol with DH now, those 1st 5yrs. But at the time it seemed right, getting the divorce settled before hatching an egg! But in retrospect I wish I hadn't been so prudent, it would have all worked out anyway since we love each other. We could have had a child that was the fruit of one of our early passionate encounters, he or she would have been a wonderful souvenir! And I'm sure DH's and my eggs were raring to go at that time! Why was I so careful? I may teach my child/ren that at times a bit of calculated recklessness in life is no bad thing!

 

[firstbaby25]

Thanks Holly! I was going to quote you on the second cup of tea... I'm about to have mine. The snow got us (the rest of the weekend the rest of the UK got it but not us...) So i'm off to have second cup of tea and look at the snow and write back to KitKat who left a rather lovely message on my profile! My niece is with my sister today so i'm thinking i'm going to go and see her because I love her (she's my avatar)... We are due to hear about OH's job today and after finding out that he's currently not earning national minimum wage we are really hoping he gets it!! I had to change my ticker but might use fertility friend because they will have better info about o like clearly it changes when my cycle changes!!

I hate TTC sometimes...

Xxx

 

[HollyMonkey]

is that your niece on your avatar firstbaby? She rocks

 

[firstbaby25]

I think that Erin (my niece) started the decision for me, she is the fruit of my YOUNGER sisters passion and really it wasn't bad at all we were all super excited including mum and everyone else and even though they aren't together he is a super dad and she is no worse off than other kids at all. Then my gramps died and I was sad he didn't see my children and now here I am ttc. Though to be fair, I only wish we had been caught for it's 'ease' if you will, I am still only 25 and we are still doing a house up! So now is definitely the best time...

Speaking of which I went to see it yesterday it's lovely. We should be able to move in after the new year... Maybe the middle of January
Now that cuppa

Me too I hate ttc today. All I want now is an on time AF, if that's late I'll get grumpy like Crunchie

You're fine you still have time on your side. I started ttc at the age of 31, which seemed ok for a "second relationship"- and although I never ttced the first and fell pregnant within 2 weeks of stopping bc I didn't know about things like miscarriages and the cycle mess they can cause, so didn't fall with LO until I was 33...So I advise anyone to start early since you can't be quite sure of the road ahead... Your career can wait but your eggs won't!

House sounds fab!

Right, reflections on life over, back to housework

VERY profound! Indeed... This is what I began to think. I have the degree now and I can always use it coupled with life experiences of ttc I think I will be a better career woman when I have a bambino I think...

I just hope it doesn't take a long time it's easy to worry like plenty of people fall pregnant straight away and I know I will get worse with time... So i'm hopeful that it takes a year or less! I had coffee instead and the snow had stopped I LOVE SNOW!!

Right, reflections on life over, back to housework

It's so true Holly and first baby.... My husband had to really convience me to come off birth control after our wedding last September. We started in trying in the January and here we are 1 year later !!! I am 31 next year and I could really kick myself that I didn't start this earlier !!!!

But what can u do ?

Right back to being grumpy x

 

[Sarachka]

Yeah Jaynie, you have a good point.* At least we know our babies will be very much tried for and loved.* Last night OH was giving me a cuddle and put his hand on my stomach with a little too much pressure so I said "oooh be careful don't press too hard!" and he asked excitedly "are you pregnant?!" but I told him I didn't know and it was too early to test.* I told him we'd try a test on Wednesday.*

I've worked here for the last 7 years and worked hard on promotions etc.* I have a house, a job &#8230; one thing I still need is a driving licence!!* But apart from driving, I feel totally ready to have a baby, I'm so sorted it's boring.* I don't really wish we'd been reckless at the start as we've not been together all that long, 8 months.* It's pretty unorthodox but at our ripe old age of 28 I think you just know quite quickly if someone is right or not.*

 

[firstbaby25]

Ooooh I don't have a driving license! I had to stop with my lessons when I got made redundant so that's one thing I will definitely pick back up on when I start my new job on Thursday. It's a double edged sword sarachka, I hear ya, that now you want a baby you want it like yesterday I dig that but I do feel for people that have kids young. I'm from a place where I am the OLDEST person to have not been pregnant... all my friends and my sister were young and all they can tell me about babies is that they're hard and to think about it. Now that's probably true and good advice but they can say that because they didn't 'want' for one, it just happened and then they had to adjust... I know me and my OH have already started to adjust!

I hope this cycle is your though Sarachka lots of PMA and headed your way from me.

XOX

 

[x-ginge-x]

Yeah well i'm the odd one out here, I don't have a job yet but am trying for them, and we don't own the place we are living in its council rented but its so much better than living with parents and I can't drive but I don't mind that and I too wish i'd never touched birth control, I first went on it at 14 because of painful periods and it did the job was on it for 3 years then switched to the implant for a year which messed my cycles up pretty badly (some were 73 days long!)I'll never touch BC again and 3 years down the line im still not pregnant only 2 of those years we have been trying though

Holly and Jaynie, I agree with you both. Sometimes feel like I am catching the last train. When I was about 15 my plan was simple. 1st child at 20 2nd at 22. But went to university, finished at 23, then came to the UK and since then there was too much work and not much time left to look for Mr Right.
Then we met. And Emily was 'fruit of our pasion'. In summer we decided for an addition to our family, and we managed to succeed on a first go. But 3 months later MC. Some time ago I gave myself limit - baby by age 33. I am 33 in march.

 

[newbie_ttc]

Love the new siggie Jaynie! U are one of us now... well u've been one of us for quite some time now, but it's officially official

Molly, AF is scheduled to arrive tomorrow and the plan was to test Wednesday if she hadn't shown. i suspect she will be right on time tomorrow tho.

and ladies, I can relate too about regretting waiting so long to have kids. I'll be 30 next year and all the women in my family have had at least one child by my age, some 2. of course none of them were planned! my parents each have about 8 syblings or so, and they both are the only ones left that are not grandparents yet. One of my biggest fear is that my kids will grow up not knowing their grandparents b/c they died while my kids were young. I try not to think about stuff like that by reassuring myself my folks will live forever!!

 

[Sarachka]

I do think we've done stuff the right way though, Jaynie and Holly. We've made sure we will be ok once a baby arrives. I can imagine that having a new born is reallllly stressful so the last thing you want to worry about is money and housing etc. I see it everyday where young girls decide to bring a baby into this world as a meal ticket and it makes me so angry!!'
