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

[Crunchie]

So here goes .... I am 2/3 dpo = possible symptom today = twinges

Will report tomorrow on Tuesdays symptoms list

Emandi... I'm sure you can widen your goalposts baby by the following march? I think we've discovered that there will never really be a 'right' time and mother nature is a cruel lady... You'll probably get pregnant in march or something...

Sarachka I hear you, I see girls in my hometown pop them
put for benefits and they don't stand a chance (the children) but who am I to judge? Of that's what people wanna do then there's nothing we can do except I know an you do like we said we'll be so happy with ours and imagine your future offspring against some
of the people you see in the jc. I feel sorry for those children they don't ask to be born and they have a higher chance of repeating the cycle again (my oh's brother has 2 and neither of them work, they live in a 2 bedroomed flat that you can't swing a cat in! The kids stay in all weekend unless we go (which we did this weekend on both days) it's terrible but it's taught me a lot (we got social services involved and they were crap)...


Ginge I only got my job last week and we were trying without it, it's our turn!! A job isn't the be all and end all IMO!!

Crunchie thanks for that! Good symptom... I can live vicariously through you for 2 (ish) weeks!

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

ha ha my DH had to persuade me to come off bc too! I find it hard to imagine now!!!

Emandi and HollyMonkey- Testing on Wednesday... if AF doesn't show. I really don't feel pregnant. I told my OH last night (he commented on my extreme exhaustion the last few days) I told him I think I just have too much on my mind. That would make a woman tired right? (sigh)

 

[HollyMonkey]

It's interesting to hear your stories and situationsUtimately destiny has conspired to give me the most gorgeous daughter in the world, so I can't hold any real regrets about how I went about things, and as you say Sarachka, it could have been a hideous nightmare if we weren't ready for a baby.

I have a driving license, but no car! I don't want one. I have 4 bikes.

 

[TrinityMom]

Hi :wave:
How are you all today?
Not sure about the improvement in MS symptoms yet. May be slightly better but that may be wishful thinking
I did some arm work today with weights....I have rubber arms now!

Interesting conversation on timing of babies. We had a MC when we'd been married for a year. We were going through a not so great period, I found out I was pregnant then mc 2 weeks later. What it did though was clarify that we wanted kids soon. 2 months later I was pregnant with my oldest son

I sometimes think if we'd waited for the sensible time we would still be waiting to try

I think I only feel pregnant because I know I am. And I only spotted it because I decided to go a bit overboard with the symptom spotting this cycle

I'm not sure why I am so lacking in PMA this cycle but I'm convinced AF is going to show. I did a cervical check last night and there was a bit of an increase in cf... was a tiny bit stretchy. This happened last cycle... hmm...

 

[x-ginge-x]

Well since we started trying i have had a job and then quit it because its was wayyyy too far away...I was catching 6 buses a day! Made me soooo ill because of lack of sleep between evening and morning shift! ever since i lost my job i have done nothing but apply for more jobs! and I agree i think if we all waited for a perfect time we would all still be waiting because there is no perfect timing!

 

[Sarachka]

I'm going to test again tonight when I've saved up some strong wee. That evap yesterday has me fascinated.

Trinitymum, I have to say I am vert envious of your morning sickness! I'd give anything to have it.

Molly you have 3 girls right? Be honest, would a baby boy be the icing on the cake?!

Holly what's LO up to today?

My sister doesn't think she'll bring my nephew for a visit this week after all as they've only just got home from Dubai and he's a bit out of routine.

Talking of my sister and talking about when the time is right etc, well she is one person who rly wont be very impressed when I get pregnant. She is the sort of person who has always known her plan and has followed it and made it happen. Good for her, she lives a great life with her merchant banker husband in their £1.3mil Surrey house ... But that's just not me. My life isn't going to work ou like that. I'm far too emotional and left-brained to be so ordered and regimented. She'd expect me to have discarded OH's advances instantly bc he doesn't fill in her tick boxes of perfection. Its horrible to think my only sibling wont really be happy for me.

I have 2 girls. Ages 3.5 and 5. I am fairly sure that if we had another girl my OH would go mad. I'm quite impressed that he allowed me to get a female kitten. He did tell me that if we had another girl he would build a separate garage (not connected to the house) and it would be his "man cave" and none of us crazy women would be allowed. He is terrified of when the girls are teenagers and we all "sync up".

That is horrible that you believe your sister would not be happy for you. Unfortunately not all siblings see the world the same. BUT you have your other family and friends and even your fellow turtles! You know we would all be over the moon for you!

I'm sure she will come around! babies, even the ones born in the least perfect situations, have a way of warming ppls hearts

Got a quick question....

I'm due to O in about 3 days (I'm on CD 14 and usually O on CD 17!)...

What would u say were the best days to BD, before and after, to make sure we cover all our bases to get our Xmas ?

Evening ladies!

How are we all today?

I'm posting part of my earlier message as i think it has been missed.... probably due to the amount of chatting we do!

I have a pic of an OPK that i did this evening after work... just wondered if anyone would like to see it?
Or should i say OBSESS over it?

 

[Mollykins]

We are sneaking up on our 3k post ladies! I'm guessing that we should be there by Wednesday... Thursday at the latest. (We are so chatty! )

You are so right to repost! I know that posts get lost sometimes in all our chatter. They say that you are suppose to be getting busy for 5 days up to your O-date and then again the day after O. Hope that helps lovey.

[Mollykins]

Oh and yes, post! post! post! (Did you even have to ask?)

 

[newbie_ttc]

did u ever think when u started this thread, it would get so huge?

how are u feeling today? Even tho you don't feel pg, your symptoms are fantastic! I'm a teensey bit jealous!!

so far today, my cramps took a break thankfully, although I am prepared for them to return this evening if not 1st thing tomorrow. My head is still foggy tho, has been for a solid week now. and my ears feel stuffed up, almost like an ear infection, so much so that I cannot stand anything to be very loud lately. I wonder is my body getting tired of the prenatal vitamin and the B6? if i dont get a bfp next cycle I am going to come off them for a few months while i take a break. I have a sneaky suspicion it is behind my weight gain as well!

 

[Sarachka]

Moomin, why even ask, we're a bunch of loons who just LOVE to look at stuff each other has wee-ed on!
