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

Oh your poor rabbit. I hope than can do something for him? How old is he? What's he called? I love rabbits, I have 2,(Blossom and Bambi) (and 2 guinea pigs, Moppy and PomPom) and DH has a rabbit called TomTom (Yep, man with a rabbit!) I lost my dear rabbit Snuffles a few months ago, she was about 5yrs old.
Thinking of you Essie because I was so upset when I lost Snuffles.

Thanks Holly.

He's called Dexter (we have two, the other one is Amber). We think he's quite old, we got him as a rescue and they thought he was around 4/5 so he's around 7/8 now. I thought it was going to be a problem with his teeth, because he's had that before and had to have an operation. Initially the vet said "it's either an abscess or a tumour, and neither is good news" but he drained it and said definitely an abscess, you can either give some atb and see if they help or pts, so I said I want to try. He seems happy in himself, still eating and racing around the yard this afternoon so I'm hoping the atb will work well, we'll see next week.

They've given him some antibiotics and we have to take him back next week and see how he's doing. He is quite old, but he's seems so happy, not off his food or anything. I was quite shocked when he said we might need to have him pts.

That's a good sign if he's happy and eating, fx'ed the antibiotics cure him. Bambi, Blossom, TomTom, Moppy and PomPom send Dexter their Get Well Soon wishes in carrot colour!

One of our cats had an abscess which was cured by atb so let's hope it works well for bunnies too

Fingers crossed. The vet said rabbits are a bit odd because when they get abscesses they tend to be chronic and keep coming back. But I'm keeping a PMA that the atb will help him.

Happy weekend everyone :Heavy here today. I find the weekend quite exhausting compared to my quiet mummy life during the week- sport to do, friends to see, shops to shop in, phew! I hear you all sarcastically say, And you're right to. But if it's any comfort to the working ladies I'm due back to work very soon, back on that 6am train arrgggghhh!! Gotta get pregnant again QUICK! Or win the lottery, or get to 1000 posts and receive my cash prize!

Molly, the name looks good in official print!

DH has just served me a glass of kir, so since AF is still with me and I have the right to indulge I will raise my glass to the newly named Fertile myrtles soon-to-be-preggy turtles thread, CHEERS!

Also Dexter's old in rabbit years, and once an older animal gets a problem and doesn't die, it's often just the first of a long string of other health issues- But let's hope it's just a simple abscess and goes away quickly- you're getting it treated really quickly too so it shouldn't have had time to run him down, it's not like he hasn't eaten for days or anything, so I'm sure he'll recover well.

And since this is a ttc forum and not a 'friends of rabbits' one, I also wish you luck for that late ...even though DH has told you not to test anymore...

It's just after 4pm here, taking a break from work to check in.

I like the new name Molly!

I've got a busy weekend ahead of me... throwing (of all things) a baby shower in my home on Sunday. That should be a lot of fun (especially with AF all in the way), can't wait until it's my turn for a baby shower!

Feeling a little apprehensive about this month tho. My OH and I are on completely different schedules during the week and it looks like my window is smack dab in the middle of the week after next. He wants to be casual about TTC so i need to figure out a way to casually go home for lunch and

to everyone. enjoy the weekend in case i'm too busy to drop in on you girls

Thanks, but I can't take all the credit for the name. We all voted.
Keep up the PMA sweets! Your (and subsequent baby shower) is on the way! (We put in the order for you. )

I suggest making it seem... spur of the moment. Drop in on your OH on your lunch and ... wake him up nicely. I doubt he would complain. Just tell him you though it'd be fun.

Have a great time with the baby shower sweets and an amazing weekend.

I agree in principle with Molly, only my DH sees straight through that, urmm, 'spur of the moment' stuff, at least the way I present it. Maybe I'm still holding the opk whilst dressed very uncharacteristically in red lace? But I'm sure you're more subtle than me Newbie! You'll be just fine!

He came into the bedroom this morning and said "your cup is in the sink, did you take another test? I was a bit like, well He said "no more tests". I took one while he was out earlier but it's a stark white BFN. I must be about 16dpo now so I definitely am not expecting a BFP, but i can't stop testing just in case

 

[x-ginge-x]

Hi everyone can I hop on board i'm only 5dpo right now but my 'positive OPK' wasn't really positive but was the darkest I got so I classed as positive anyway oh well

 

[HollyMonkey]

Hop right on!
I had that the month before last, a "not really positive but darkest I got" and like you classed it as positive! I think maybe the dye quota is different in each test. But last month I got my first real positive. It was very exciting Didn't get pregnant though, but the +opk was fun! I've ordered a CBFM for this round, drove me mad the opks last month!

Any symptoms yet?

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt! I have my wee cup up on a shelf in the bathroom amongst some glass night-light candle holders- it is a candle holder in fact, thus cunningly camouflaged in the general decor of the bathroom. Only I, and now you, know 'tis there......

 

[x-ginge-x]

I try not to symptom spot before 7 dpo but I have no choice this month i'm constipated to hell and back! and randomly sensitive boobs that don't usually start till around 8dpo, so will wait and see, I have one cheap test in my bathroom, so am not testing until AF is due to arrive!

 

[Mollykins]

Oh ladies... AF is kicking my rear on her way out. Massive headache today along with bloating and all numbers of small annoyances and discomforts. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my OH is leaving on Monday (again!) and will not be back for 2 weeks!!! No luck for this cycle... Well, I will be here to cheer for you all.

Essie- FX for Dexter still! Vet on Monday right? Let us know how it goes.

HollyMonkey- if this headache and all finally disappears... I think I will have myself I drink as well tonight.

 

[Crunchie]

Hey lovely ladies ! I have spent a lovey evening with good friends celebrating the 5th november ... Hubby cooked a great meal and we drunk lots ! Just what I needed
.... I forced him
His wellman tablet and all is good in Bromley !!! Feel positive and have a lovely new cycle
To think about it ..... Just thinking how many opks to do per day.... 6 or 7 perhaps !!!


Essie I hope your bunny is feeling better xxxxx

 

[HollyMonkey]

Hi there might be absent a mo, DH drilled through our cable this morning putting up curtains! This is his i phone...be back when we get connection fixed! xxx

 

[Essie]

Oh dear Holly, hope it's fixed soon!

Well AF is due today but it's now 7:30pm and so far no AF. Another BFN test so I'm sure she's right around the corner, just messing with me To wind myself up some more I was reading posts about people who've tested negative til after AF was due and then go on to get their BFP Having AF cramps and sore nipples and boobs (normal AF signs for me) so just waiting around now til she shows up.

When we agreed to start trying we both wanted it to be stress free, just when we felt like it and then if it happens it happens. Unfortunately I am unable to take the stress free approach, but DH is pretty relaxed about it

Real hard on i phone to write. Calling electrics people 1st thing on morning 4 our cable! Frustrating bfn's you got there. Try not to stress about it, tho i don't always practice what i preach. Such a fiddle to write on this thing! Fxd for you- will borrow Dh's phone for your update if cable not fixed!

hey huni pie dont give up just yet

 

[Mollykins]

Holly! Such poo about your cable. FX you fix it soon!

Essie- I am right with Holly. It's a lot easier to say "don't stress" or "just relax" than it is to do it. Crunchie also has a point too; until AF shows, you are still in. Cautious optimism is a great mood to be in.

Well, today is my last day with my OH until the 19th. This weekend went by too fast!! Going to make him some apple pie so I will check in with you lovelies later.

 

[Essie]

Well ladies, AF is officially one day late. Didn't test this morning because didn't want to see another BFN. But will maybe test later if still no sign.
