Newbie i got a promotion the first month we were TTC and had the very same dilemma...was planning to go the accident route myself! three months in...and i still have some work guilt if i fell preggers...but ive been there long enough, and you wouldnt share the news for another 10 weeks.

Kiwi: hi! and WOW for temp spike! I have had women dropping like flies with pregnancy...and all of them on the first/second attempt! i find it quite hard to be totally happy for them. i am...but there is a lot of "what about me"

 

[Maddy40]

Oh gals a fun afternoon had here! I don't have nearly as many fur-babies as some of you (just the one kitty), but she is soooo human. She has travelled around the world with us so she really is one of the family. ATM she is perched on my left shoulder "helping" me read your posts.

Pam...oh well this wasn't our month. Nice to have someone to do the wait with though My cycle is shorter than yours, but maybe with a longer cycle you'll come into sync with someone else on the board this month?

Abby and Cossime - Welcome How many months have you been TTC?

Newbie - good job news. Are you permanent at this company? I imagine if you were having bub#2 in 2 years time and were eligible for Long Service at 10 years then that would be pretty handy.

Melainey - testing when?

Okay well off to do a FF chart for real (although I forgot to temp yesterday while at my friend's place). FF seems to think differences in sleeping times may not necessary be a huge problem, provided you temp immediately you wake up. So this little shift-worker's gonna try this month & see.

ABBY: yeah it does suck a little doesn't it and you try your hardest to be happy for them and deep down you are but you put on your fake smile and go overboard with the "oh my god wow congratulations I am so delighted for you" but even deeper down you are gutted. We need some BFP on here just to keep us going I think!

Hi Maddy! we stopped BC about 2 years ago, and were "sort of" trying, then this year after our wedding we started trying properly. i realised then that i was BD at the wrong time...i was just BD at the middle of my cycle but because i have a longer cycle its more around 2/3 the way through! So thats been 3 months (this is the fourth). I also had whacky cycles, but ive been taking Vitex and its AWESOME! got me right back in the 30 something days! so im thrilled about that.

Kiwi: When i get a bit down about it, i try to think that this time with DH and our fur baby is really precious. A baby can and will change the dynamic, and although we want that, once it happens it will be at least 18 years before you get that precious time again. It helps! (please remind me i said that when AF shows up)

Afternoon girls.
Abby that cracked me up about the charts you did at home. Are you a project manager. Y any chance?
Newbie good news on the job front dear! You wouldn't announce a pregnancy till at least 12 weeks, and of course you would say it was an oopsie. Same as I will if it happens here. WHEN it happens here, I mean.
xo

 

[Abby27]

number2woohoo: Yes...something like that! Glad it made you laugh!

 

[Newbie32]

Ooooh Abby, another lady, llpm (Lucy) will have some questions for you re vitex, as she has just started taking it!!!

 

[Newbie32]

Very good point maddy! Yes am permanent and would be very good timing!!!

Just gotta somehow get number one cooking!!!!

 

[Abby27]

Vitex has been great for me! so more than happy to answer questions. True i havent been able to conceive yet, but to have a regular cycle (which is why i started taking it) has been great!

 

[Pammy31]

Abby I am going to try and research it. I am a little intrigued. as i am bouncing around 34 or 37 day cycles.

 

[Pammy31]

ok i need to know more i just bought vitex agnus castus. how do i use it.

Yeah, a long way off I know, will cross that bridge WHEN we come to it!

So hope we have a bfp spree on its way!!

What brand did you buy? i just have the blackmores Vitex and take one three times a day before meals. it helps to regulate your hormones...so if you dont have hormonal imbalances then it wont do much. It also helps (ive read) with LP defect.

ive taken the herbal liquid before....its a unique flavour of disgusting but equally as effective. When i came off BC for the first time (some 10 yrs ago) i lost AF for about 9 months...within a month using vitex it was back again, so its good stuff! that is how i knew about it to try again this time when my cycle was all over the shop

Now that my cycles are more even i was tempted to try a month off it, and stopped taking it when i had AF, my naturopath then told me not to, so i went back on it...and i wonder if that is why i O'd late this month? who knows.
i think if you have a messy cycle then it can help. I wouldnt believe a herb could be this effective, and i was actually very stressed about TTC because of the cycle issue. this has given me some hope!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Hey ladies!

How are you all? I've got one more coat to do on the architraves (it takes bloody ages....our whole bathroom is pretty much doorways!! haha) then my little project will be complete!!

Nana, I think you are well within your rights to keep TTC. You sound like you've made the right decision with job. If you wait for a couple of months, you will kick yourself if you take another 6 after you start trying again... sometimes you have to be selfish. do something for yourself and DH!

 

[Newbie32]

Thanks squigley!!

We've missed you today gorgeous!! You too 2mums xx

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

[Trying2b2mums]

you're crazy!! Your poor bits and peices, i am shocked they are willing to play after your cycling craze but i am crossing everything for you this month!! My sister was preggo with her first in Italy, he still has the stuffed animal they bought over there!! Awesome news about the job!! Just tell him babies love promotions, and you can soon tell him you have your own new package in mind, I had the clearblue fert monitor, loved it, but will admit to never getting an egg picture but not shocked bc i never got a positive OPK, but i think you'll love it, so fun watching the lines go up and down You have earned the right to fall duffers whenever, keep trying!!!
lisa- FX!!! and your zoo passes make me jealous, all we have is seaworld up here, and i dont consider that a zoo at all!! We have Currumbin Wildlife Sancturary too but they, as far as i know, dont do yearly passes- but the kids do love it, love feeding the kangas! My best friend and I sing dance magic dance- hilarious!!!
Melainey- i had my first vivid dream at like 5dpo, i am going to be very hopeful for you this month!!! Also very early on and only lasted a couple days, i kept smelling off things, mainly fermenting apples - that never existed omg david bowie!!! love it
rosie- too early for AF, but not too early for ov and implantation
Hi Abby, welcome!! Abby - i love me a pretty make at home timeline chart, scan and add it for all of us stalkers! "Ha...i couldnt bring myself to say i bought special pens to make a sperm timeline chart!" I used Word, now kicking myself bc pens would have ben so much more fun!!!
Mum2q- bathroom sounds like its coming around nicely!!! Love your DIY-ness!! Loving the house rules as well!!!

pammy, angel, maddy, kiwi, anyone else ive missed you know me loves you!

I'm here!! Thanks for missing me! I slept a lot today, was up til 3am with a terrified puppy bc we had some amazing thunder and lightening. So slept til 8, then hot water guy came, then slept 10 til noon, then went and did some shopping, then chatted with mum and OH when she got home, then slept 5 til 7, and awoke to pork medallions and vege for dinner!!! yummmmm. More errands tomorrow, hopefully not as much sleep. Ginny I dont know how you do it, with DS, i've been soo exhausted!
