AF due July 23/24? Looking for a buddy?

[Mariposa21]

Are you using a moisturiser everyday wilsley? My friend is adamant that using cocoa butter everyday really helped her stretch marks

Thank you for your lovely message Tia. I think we will give it till the 12 month mark in June and then go and get some tests done. I'm so pleased things are all ok with your little one

What's everyone got planned for weekend? I'm just sat looking at the patio doors looking out onto the garden. Love this time of year when stuff starts growing again hehe xx

Also sat looking at all the boxes of chocolates and bottles of wine I got bought for my birthday lol just been on scales, im now 10,3st so I'm getting there. Wanna get to 9,4st.

Felt swollen all week in stomach and in bladder area, v weird xx

 

[Wilsey]

Wasn't using it everyday but didn't have any, they are just starting to crop up - so now I am!!

I think waiting for the 12 month mark is a good idea since that's how long it can take a normal healthy couple to conceive.

Baby shower today! Well my friend's one, I have a family one at the end of the month too.

Keep us posted with what's happening Mari - and have a few choccies x

 

[Mariposa21]

Enjoy the baby shower! It will be good practice for yours hehe

Don't say have a few choccies! Hehe I don't need any encouragement lol lol x

Going to spend the day in the garden today I think x

 

[Coleey]

Hope you ladies have had a lovely weekend! Hope you had a lovely baby shower too hun!

Have you got nice weather today Mari? xx

 

[Wilsey]

Thanks ladies - we had high tea and I got lots of lovely gifts from my friends Feel very blessed! Can't wait for my second baby shower - I'm so greedy hahaha.

 

[Mariposa21]

Oh right, so it was your 1st baby shower? We don't really have them here, I think it's slowly being introduced but ive never known anyone have one - id like one though lol but dOes someone have to arrange it on your behalf??

This 2ww seems to have really dragged

Weather was lovely yesterday so got out and did some gardening. I'm so pleased, I keep looking out of the window. The lawns look so neat and manicured and my daffodils and coming along nice

Fingers crossed for a bfp this month - not many symptoms besides stomach pains earlier this week and a tightening feeling but nothing else x

How was everyone's weekend? X

 

[Tia Maria]

Heay Mari sweety
I had a dream last night and in it i came online and you were saying how you'd gotten a bfp, and that you couldnt wait for your hubby to come home to tell him. Fingers crossed it comes true!!!
Oooo i love gardening, i think Marty is going to do our lawns tomorrow if it stays nice.....this weather is very encouraging for the summer!!

And ive not known anyone either to have a baby shower....i'd love one but i dont have enough friends lol Generally someone does organise it for you like your best friend or something.

I'm glad to hear you had a lovely time at your shower though Wilsey, how's the house coming on???

Coleey how did the midwife appointment go?

I realised i'm going to be 9 months pregnant on my birthday lol And its Marty and mines 4 year anniversary next friday I'm so excited!!!

I hope everyone is well and having a great week.

xXx

 

[Mariposa21]

Aww Tia, that's nice, I wonder if it means anything hehe. No sign of af today and it's due today so fingers crossed it doesn't show up tomorrow. Think I will test tomorrow after work if nothing has happened. Am I ok to test after the first morning wee??

 

[Coleey]

I have quite a few friends who have baby showers, but sadly, I moved away from all my friends.

My mw appoint went great, she's lovely! I told her my fears about getting pre e again (It started at 35 weeks with Alex) and she told me that if anything happened, if my bp even slightly rose or protein appeared, she'd make sure I was looked after. That was sooo great to hear! We talked about Alex, my previous pregnancy, labour, breastfeeding etc. I was weighed, my bp was checked, urine was checked and they did the usual health questions and medical/family history. All fine and completely healthy! She kept reassuring me that everything would go great too!

I have appointments with her, but I also have to see my doctor. She said I can either see her all the time, or my doctor all the time, or both. I have to go to my doctor for tests etc though. I see my doctor on the 26th March! I'm going to ask him about an early ultrasound and see what he says, hopefully he says yes

How is everyone doing?

You should be okay to test with second morning urine hun, but maybe you could leave your fmu in a pot for later? It'll be fine for a few hours xx

 

[Mariposa21]

No need - af arrived.

Really glad all went well with mw x

 

[Coleey]

Oh honey I'm so sorry xx

 

[Wilsey]

Sorry Mari

 

[Tia Maria]

Oh Mari darlin i'm sorry...what a mofo tut
How are you feeling? I hope you're ok

Coleey that's great news that your midwife appointment went so well, sounds really encouraging and i'm glad you feel reassured

xXx

 

[Mariposa21]

Pretty rubbish if I'm honest x

 

[Coleey]

Oh hun Have you tried opks? xx

 

[Tia Maria]

I bet you are darlin. You're having a sh*tty time of it. I know its redundant, but is there anything i/we can do/say to cheer you up? Hows your hubby feeling?
It's times like this i really do wish we were neighbours *sigh*

I hope everyones doing ok this evening...i don't really have any news or anything so im a bit boring lol

xXx

 

[Wilsey]

Sorry to hear that Mari

Are you doing this all the casual way (ie no temping, opks, smep plan etc)?

 

[Mariposa21]

Hey everyone - thank you for such lovely messages x went out on the town and felt fab. Felt really skinny after loosing 5 pounds and had a few cocktails and nibbles and had a dance so it really helped with my slightly low mood lol

I'm that predictable each month I've always found opks and stuff a bit of a waste but may give them a whirl although it helps that I don't focus on it too much x bd every other day this month x

 

[Wilsey]

Hey Mari - I wonder if you should use opks for just one month to confirm that you ovulate when you think you do. If you do, you could do the SMEP plan which is basically bding every other day after AF leaves and then every day for four days from O (I think).

We did the SMEP plan (by total accident though) the month we got our BFP.

 

[Tia Maria]

Heaaay
Mari i'm so pleased to hear you had a fabulous night out And as for the feeling skinny...go on you with losing 5 lb's.....although i temporarily need to hate you until i get past the jealous dont mind do ya? lol

Wilsey how are ya? Hows the house and preparation? I hope its all going well.

Coleey how are you feeling? I hope you're taking it easy

Its my 4 year anniversary on friday woooo i'm SOOOOO excited!!!!

xXx
