Anyone struggling to get baby number 2??

[Munchkin30]

Ooh I'm also doing this www.100happydays.com basically you post a pic of something that made you happy 100 days in a row. I'm doing it mainly on Facebook but I'll share with you lot too in the hope it'll make us all feel happier and more grateful for where we are in our lives now.

Here's yesterday's happy thing. It was so sunny in town that I bought these fetching shades for £3 and they remind me summer's on it's way

 

[Mrs W 11]

Munchkin good luck and enjoy your acupuncture, looking forward to hearing how it goes!! And thank you for the happy day pic, sunglasses and this lovely weather definitely make me smile!!

Welcome sailor, sorry to hear you too are having issues conceiving, you are in good company here though! I'm taking supplements to help regulate my cycle, could you try that?

Wee not so neon today. No idea what makes it come out more/less?!

Feeling rough, feel like I've got a cold now too and keep sneezing. It's ridiculous it's my third cold this year??? I'm worrying now that something is wrong!!

Slg how cute is that, your little girl reading you a story! I'm so pleased my lo loves books and reading, I was a total book worm (I still love reading now) and I'd love her to be the same. She joined the library yesterday to get some more variety and man, libraries have gone modern! Extending books online, machines to check books in and out!!! Amazing!

I love your happy things, Munchkin.

 

[Munchkin30]

Thanks. The acupuncture lady was lovely. Talked about balance and blocks etc and I cried a bit talking about Rowan. I yea listed how much more grieving I need to do and how tense I am. I think she should really be able to help. We've got a proper 2 hr session on Good Friday. She didn't say I had to wait to ttc which I was worried about,
And sge says once I'm trying again she'll treat me in the 2ww as if I'm pregnant. She said she will also be able to help with stress when I'm pregnant.
I then had a good training session at the gym and a good soak in the jacuzzi and sauna and steam rooms!

I've also realised the stress and worrying might be stopping my cycle getting back to normal and harm ttc. Other than what I'm doing I can't do anything to make AF come quicker, but stressing could make it come slower, so I'm going to do my best not to do opks and just try and chill. Wish me luck!!

 

[Munchkin30]

Ooh today's happy day thing!!



#100happydays Day 2.

These are the trainers I bought from TK Maxx when I was a student.
They're a bit old and grey but so comfy.

After a year that's majorly taken it's toll on my physically and emotionally going to the gym is making me feel happier, healthier, stronger and more like me!

Sounds like a really good day munchkin. I'm giving up the OPKs until next cycle as well. They're all looking pretty much the same and I'm having loads of spotting. My spotting normally happens after OV so I feel like I've either already OV'd and just missed it or I'm not going to this cycle. I'll start next cycle fresh and do SMEP.

 

[Munchkin30]

Snap button! I'm getting bored of constant pinky brown mucous. I will also be kicking ass at smep next cycle! I'm not sure I even want to ov, it'd be nice to know my body had had a crack at it, but AF might come sooner if I don't x

 

[Munchkin30]

Ooh quick game ladies - what's the cutest thing your lo did or said today?

My dd was eating dinner and suddenly shouted out "but it's five o clock in the morning!" Like we do when she tries to get up too early.

Biggest cringe moment - we drove past some peacocks, she asked what they were so I said "they're peacocks" and she shouted out "I like cocks"!! I'm just waiting for her to come out with that at dinner at grandma and grandpas

 

[Mrs W 11]

Ha ha munchkin!!!!!!!!!! I love that!!

My dds cutest moment today was when I was running her bath. She kept running up and kissing me and then saying 'bye bye mummy, sleep tight!' Running off and coming back. Then she plonked herself down next to me and started singing. She sang a bit of twinkle twinkle and then started on wind the bobbin up..... So I joined in singing and she clapped and said 'good girl mummy!!!' I melted!!!!

Then she had a tantrum if epic epic proportions and I've had to self anesthetise with white wine!!!!!!!

Glad the acupuncture went well
Munchkin. Did she mention Chinese medicine doesn't recommend any alcohol?!

Night xxx

 

[Munchkin30]

That's so cute mrs w! I think the poem about the girl with a curl is so very true of toddlers. When they're good they're very very good but when they're bad they're 'orrid! Charlotte has a proper curl in the middle of her forehead and she really can be 'orrid!

I'm not happy about the no alcohol thing! I'm not drinking a lot but it's basically a glass a night at the moment! The acupuncture will have to be good to stop me drinking!

 

[slg76]

Munchkin, I'm so glad that you had a nice day and a good consultation with your acupuncturist. I can't wait to hear what you think of it once you've had a treatment.

DD and I just walked to the park. She picked dandelion flowers on the way because "they are thirsty and I will give them some water". They are now soaking in a plastic cup on her bathroom counter.

Last night I asked her to put her play fairies away for the night. she said, "oh, they stay awake...like a barracuda". Um......ok? Presumably hubby taught her what a barracuda is

Munchkin about the peacocks! We are very honest with Emily and use the correct terms for body parts and such. My friends about fall over when they hear her say something like "my vagina hurts". Hey,....it is what it is!

 

[slg76]

by the way, I love that we can talk about our littles on this thread!! I usually don't bring up my DD because I know many women have trouble conceiving their first and aren't parents yet. Emily is my favorite thing to talk about though

 

[Munchkin30]

Sig I love those stories! I don't even know what a barracuda is?!? Your dd is a year and a quarter older than dd, I'm so looking forward to her being as random as that! Even now I live the tiny clues I get of what's going on in her crazy head!!

That's kind of why I started this thread. We are all defined by our toddlers and I feel bad moaning to people who aren't even mummies yet because we're so lucky. And I wanted somewhere we could be really positive about what we've already got xx

 

[Munchkin30]

How's everyone doing this morning? I managed not to pee on anything
Off to London to stay with my sis this weekend so looking forward to that, and it should take my mind off my never ending cycle! CD34 and counting.

 

[Mrs W 11]

Morning ladies!

Just to say yes this is a lovely thread and I really enjoy being able to chatter about our little ones and their funny stories! But also to be ale to have a lighthearted moan and groan about their tantrums and things without feeling like we could be upsetting someone. I remember ttc for Freya and it was harder to relate to ladies who had already been through it all so I mainly stuck to ttc no 1.

Have a wonderful weekend in London munchkin, any plans with your sister while you are there?

I'm trying to be more relaxed this cycle too. I am not temping yet, I will start around cd10, so next week. I found my 6am daily alarm was disrupting my sleep so much, I'm sleeping so well with out that on non work days!

It looks nice and sunny out!! Got my bedroom curtains in the washing machine as they were getting a little spot of mildew on the back where the windows have condensation on. Later we are off out, I still meet my nct group on Fridays, I had a really good group and we get on so well. 3 are pregnant again so that's hard but they are wonderful friends. So this afternoon will consist of sitting outside in the garden eating and chatting with the Los running round!

Tomorrow hubby and I and Freya are meeting friends for a late lunch, but other than that a chilled weekend. Need to mow the lawn and do some gardenIng, maybe dust the BBQ off to for the first time this year?!

The cutest thng my ds ever said was when he burped and he came to tell me "i farted in my mouth mom"

 

[Munchkin30]

That's brilliant celine. Love it!
Mrs w we're hopefully going to watch the marathon but she's got 2 children younger than Charlotte so we might get nowhere!! I've stressed myself out with temping too much. Especcially after ov. There's a thing on fertility friend where you can compare your chart to others and find out how many were bfp charts! It's lethal. I've banned myself from temping now. The first month I didn't was hard but you quickly get used to it.

The bereavement midwife got in touch today after I asked her when we could try and she said the consultant might want to send is for more blood tests after the postmortem t
Results but if we want to try again she advises waiting 1 or 2 normal periods. She also said I needed a check up with the gp 6 weeks post Partum. I'm 5 weeks on Sunday. Not sure I can be bothered though. I feel fine. Is there any point? X

 

[Future-Sailor]

Hello again

My DD turned 3 in January. She is the best thing ever and I am very keen to get her a sibling

Not sure what the reason for the mid-cycle bleeding is...I've only had it once before back in December 2013.

I stopped taking the pill in September last year and we've been ttc since then. I got pregnant with my DD fairly quickly (within 3 months) so I was hoping the same would happen this time around but no such luck so far

I'm under a lot of stress at the moment with work and home commitments which I suspect doesn't help!

Have a lovely weekend ladies

 

[Munchkin30]

What a pain future sailor. It's so annoying. Have you had things like a smear test at the dr? I had a dodgy smear once, had simple drop in treatment and been fine every test for 10 years since! I did have mid cycle bleeding before and some brown blood too. Worth a check!
I'm sure stress can stop us conceiving. This is partly why I'm trying the acupuncture. My life is lovely and not stressful but I often feel tense and stressed and I can't remember if it's ttc making me tense of stressed or being tensed and stressed stopping me conceiving but either way it can't do any harm to tackle it!?

 

[Button#]

I've resisted peeing on sticks today as well, we're so disciplined Munchkin!

We've had Ashley's two year review this morning, no concerns and he didn't get too freaked out which was nice. He had a mega tantrum when we got home though, but he was tired.

Got a quiet one this weekend. Art class tomorrow morning then giving my house a good clean.

Have fun at the marathon Munchkin, I'm not going anywhere near the centre that day!
