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

[Mollykins]

Trust me HollyMonkey, I am just as weepy at times. My first is 5 years old and my BABY is 3.5 years old!! I think about my girls growing up and going to their first dance, having the first boyfriend, first kiss, first heartbreak, OMG... driving???, graduation, university... moving away???

Okay, your ticker... is here yet?? I better check... *sniff*

I'm so crap with computers!I tried really hard I clicked on your ticker, got to that site, I gave them all my details, got to choose my ticker (chose same as Newbie, just noticed, pink flowers) but didn't know how to do all the copy and paste stuff. How do you get it from...THEM....to.....US?!!! Don't get it. But did my avatar CRUNCHIE *does smug face*

Okay, I'm a cheater... give me your information and I'll do it for you then I will pm you the code to copy and paste into your signature.

Tried again. Can't do it. Ready to cheat. what info do you need? identity name, password, e mail, and cycle day they asked of me? Shall I pm that to you? Anything else?

Haha, not so much info. You make it hard on yourself don't you?? I just need to know how many days in your cycle, when you started, and your LP length.

Ladies- I've been looking into it and I think I am going to use soft cups this cycle. They are relatively cheap and (I would imagine) very helpful. I'm definitely a fan of cheap as TTC for so many months has started to rack up quite a bill! AND softcups double as a feminine hygiene product when the is here.

Tell me about it Molly. I did a reckless thing today, I've purchased online a CBFM Don't tell DH My argument is that if he's only going to give me until April to fall pregnant, then I'm going to need all the help I can get. And I will tell him it can be used afterwards as an unreliable form of birthcontrol.
Oh dear he's going to murder me when he finds out.

Holly and Molly (it's like you are sisters sharing the same sense of humour )


It's not just you two who pleased retailers . I just came back from shops with couple of vitamins and supplements to help me succeed in this round .
I decided to take EPO from CD1 until ovulation, vitamin B6 to lengthen my LP, also ordered Maca - have you heard about it?. And I will carry on taking pregn. vitamis and my Apimist.
Mad, isn't it?

I agree, only I don't think any sane mother or father would call their daughters Holly and Molly, except me maybe I wanted to call bubba Molly but it didn't work in French, neither does Holly but I got stubborn over it by that point!I've decided I'm going to have another girl and call her Emily. If that damn expensive Marmite monitor does its stuff.

Your retail investment sounds good. I want all that vitamin stuff but the French are so not clued up on it. They just buy poodles if they don't get pregnant

Maybe it's all in the names? Holly... Molly? By the way Holly, I think that's a brilliant argument. If he really is going to stick to his on the whole deadline than you should be able to do everything you can to improve your chances. Makes perfect sense to me!

Emandi- I'm not going to put too much into this cycle since OH will be out of town. I'll let my poor body rest one. I haven't heard of Maca... what is it?

 

[Crunchie]

oh I have a ticker too....didnt want to be left out !!!!

 

[HollyMonkey]

Marmite... never had the *ahem* to try it. I'd rather not be sick... I've heard it's death on toast... I'll stick to my orange marmalade.

The entire French population hate it too, which is why I'm already giving LO marmite on bread (yeah I know, way too salty for bubbas) but I'd like her to have a party trick to impress French bods later in life! And I LOVE MARMITE, how can she miss out on such an experience! Train'em young I say!

 

[HollyMonkey]

Hey Molly! I'll PM you all my details tomorrow, gotta hit the sack now! THANKS and hope between us we can get me a Ticker!!!!! Bonne Nuit Les Petits xxx

 

[Essie]

I think I just experienced my first evap! Just looked at the test I used earlier and a faint line has appeared. Luckily I'm in a fairly rational mood so know it is most likely an evap.

 

[Mollykins]

Essie- tomorrow!

 

[HollyMonkey]

oh I have a ticker too....didnt want to be left out !!!!

Congratulations on your ticker

Tomorrow, me ticker too

As my sister says; tomorrow fmu

This is positively exciting, just when I was off to bed! How long after????(evap line)

 

[Essie]

I used it a few hours ago so almost def an evap. But will test again with fmu just in case.

I'm also off to bed as have to be up at half five but will update quickly before work!

 

[Mollykins]

Sleep good sweets!

If it was a few hours ago then probably evap- I hate being rational but better to have a lovely surprise! Sleep well xxxxx

 

[LittleSpy]

Oh, essie! I'm excited about your FMU tomorrow!

I did a digi with afternoon pee I had only been holding for about 2 hours (which is just about the maximum amount of time I can hold it at this point )!

For some reason, every time I take another test I think "Okay... NOW it's official!"

Unfortunately I can't explain about adding and subtracting to your temp when you're temping. I just tried to take mine between 7am and 8am every day. I was so excited about it I was waking up before 8am on my own on the weekends to take it (I'm a sleeper inner for sure).

I have a question for all the lovely ladies with LOs already -- when did you schedule your first OB visit? I think the standard in the US is 8 weeks... but I'd really love to schedule my first at 12 weeks for insurance purposes. Is that terribly wrong? If I go in December it's like I'm just throwing away hundreds of dollars. And I guess I don't see too much of a point in going before then anyway. I already comprehend the whole eat healthy, avoid certain foods, & take vitamins bit. What do you all think, honestly?

 

[Mollykins]

LittleSpy- they schedule you at 8 weeks here in the states and at that appointment they check your height, weight, blood pressure, I believe they prick your finger for iron level check, listen to the HEARTBEAT!!! (My favorite part ) and they figure your EDD (even though you already know it ) They will do an internal check- yes, kind of like a pap. They will check your uterus size to see if you are pregnant with twins or a single. That's all pretty basic stuff, they may do more depending on your history or whatnot. Perhaps you can call?

 

[Essie]

Have tested again with fmu and its back to just one pink line, so I think the second pink line was definitely an evap. That'll teach me for looking at the test after the time limit!

 

[Mollykins]

Essie- I'm sorry sweets! When is AF due for you?

My honest answer; I think you should see a doc before 12 weeks. Are you sure you're immunised against toxoplasmosis for example? And that your blood sugar levels are all hunky dory? I'd want that first comprehensive blood test myself, so you don't have any nasty surprises a few weeks on...
As for the poking I agree it probably doesn't help much but I found an early scan really reassuring, although I'd had an mc before. My best friend (who now has a healthy boy the same age as my LO) waited until 12weeks for her scan with her 1st pregnancy, only to find a major problem and they had to terminate. She regretted not having found out earlier, and it was nothing prenatal vits and wholemeal bread could have sorted out.

That said, I do live in France where they are very into the medical side of pregnancy, and I think if you have the confidence to trust to mother nature then trust that instinct of yours. I just lost my faith a bit in mother nature over the years....And I don't know how much money you're talking in the US, but here its not over the top, LO's 1st pair of shoes and a baby walker are on the horizon now, and they're more expensive!!!

Just my view but do what's right for you Littlespy
