Hi everyone
I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and oh my hat I missed a lot!!!!!!!!

Essie, you have me on the edge of my seat!

Yesterday I took my last soy capsule - probably should have upped the dose yesterday but things have been so hectic that I didn't even think about it (I run a sanctuary for disabled animals form my home and there has been NO money for the charity so our electricity was cut off...not fun and the stress doesn't help the ttc - thank goodness I wasn't ovulating!)

I've bought CB ovulation sticks this time so I know when I ovulate
Considering using a soft cup too and not using the vinegar douche (to sway for a girl)...I'm worried we killed off all the little swimmers last time. Oh and I think i'll try soft cups this time too

I'm off to pee on my opk stick. not likely the day but I don't want to missi t (and I'm a poas addict!)

 

[HollyMonkey]

I know what you mean Trinitymum, you can never start peeing on OPKs too soon! Although this month I have the CBFM so will have to be more restrained, given the cost of the sticks that go with!!
I O late but I had a really vivid dream a couple of nights ago that I O'ed on day 11 so I'm going to be vigilant this month...

What's with the soy and vinegar?

 

[LittleSpy]

Essie -- Nice !!!
I've read that spotting can be very normal and common during early pregnancy.

My m/s is a little stronger today but still no big deal. I kind of like it since my boobs aren't as sore as they were the faint m/s is like my one little reminder that I'm actually pregnant.

Soy isoflavins are for boosting ovulation - my cycles have been weird (28,28 then 42 then 24!) so I thought it may help
The vinegar douche is for creating an acidic environment to sway for a girl (I have 3 boys)

 

[Mollykins]

Holly- I love the duckies! Very creative and I feel loved!

TrinityMom- Welcome back! I hope you get your girl this time! I would prefer a boy next time... I have two girls and I'm afraid my OH would go mad if we had another.

ALL YOU LOVELIES... WE NEED TO VOTE:

Taking into consideration Essie's fear of calling a a we are going to vote...

Do we change the title from "<2 BFP's..." to " BFP's..." without Essie's consent or should we wait until she "confirms" her pregnancy with a digi??

(I really want to put her in the title! )

 

[Mollykins]

ESSIE!!! You preggy little turtle you!! Can I congratulate you yet???

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

 

[Essie]

I'm not considering myself pregnant yet, until I have more confirmation than the faint IC. Am going to try and nip into tesco on the way home and grab another test.

 

[Mollykins]

Well ladies, I figure I would share with you all that I've set an appointment with my ob/gyn to get some testing done. I'm actually ridiculously scared and I feel as though I am about to break down and cry. The woman I spoke with (to set the appointment) reminded me that I haven't been in since my last bloods (which was to check/make sure my levels went down after losing the twins) in June of 2009. Apparently if you haven't been in for a year then you have to update your medical history; not completely... just a little update. This is going to be hard isn't it? I hope I don't get all weepy in the office, though if I do, it'll be okay. I've been going to the same ob/gyn since I was 16 (of course at 16 she was just my gyno.) so if I'm going to get weepy in front of any doctor, it should be her. Sorry for the lack of PMA in this post. I'm just feeling a little down at the moment.

 

[TrinityMom]

Good luck Mollykins!
I always think more knowledge is better than less so although it's scary it's a good idea

 

[Mollykins]

Thanks TrinityMom. I know you are right... I just hope that whatever knowledge I acquire is good. Appointment next Tuesday. Here's to hoping it's good news... or at least not damning news!

 

[HollyMonkey]

Thanks TrinityMom. I know you are right... I just hope that whatever knowledge I acquire is good. Appointment next Tuesday. Here's to hoping it's good news... or at least not damning news!

Gosh you'll be fine Molly. The body is just a bit capricious after m/c, and with twins twice as capricious!

Thanks Trinitymom for the explaining the soy and vinegar enigmas for me! The vinegar does sound a bit harsh, I guess any eggy surviving that will be a tough little thing when it grows up, Prime Minister, Olympic Champion etc. "I can do anything, I survived vinegar before I was even conceived"

They say a sugary diet pre conception for a girl helps, which must be nonsense since I'm a complete savoury freak and had a girl...

I'm off swimming at my club, love to all, see you later Alligators

PS Get that digi test pee'ed on Essie

 

[Essie]

Good Luck with your appointment Molly, hope it's good news for you. I bet your body is just taking a little extra time to get totally ready for a trouble free pregnancy when you do get your BFP

 

[Essie]

Went into tescos, they didn't have a digital test! I got a tesco 2 pack, had peed about an hour ago but still POAS as soon as i got home (with pee that was practically clear ) I don't know, there is maybe a faint line, but I'm not 100% sure. Think I need to take the other one with good concentrated FMU tomorrow and see what happens. I showed my OH and he could also see a line, but I want to remain level-headed until I'm totally sure. I don't want to get excited and then find they're just evaps or dodgy tests

 

[Mollykins]

How long does it take for your body to get right after a m/c? I mean, I fell in April 2009 and bloods went down to 0 in June ... I got the okay to TTC so wouldn't that imply it's all "good to go"? Darn bodies!!

 

[Mollykins]

Oh Essie! We all know you are pg! You are just like LittleSpy... denying it t'the bitter end! Can't wait until you believe it! (Hopefully in the morning!)

 

[TrinityMom]

Oh I love that!!!!
Sounds like my middle son's personality
We need all the help we can get in the girl department - only 1 girl in the last century in my husband's family! He's one of 4 boys and we have 3 boys.....just might go crazy if I end up with twin boys (my mom is a twin and they run in my family!)

Crunchie- FX that the doctor's call you tomorrow with nothing but good news! Like, "Our tests indicate you are not eating enough chocolate... eat a bit more and you'll have your this cycle." I wish!
