Can't quite believe it's almost here ... I can't wait to get into the house and really turn it into a home

Am on a high today as I'm 8 dpo and ff hasn't taken my cross hairs off me

It's a bit gloomy here today, but am hoping the sun makes a reappearance during the week ...

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend

Good morning all!

Well it was the hen party last night and it was great. I did test but I only waited about a minute and it was BFN. I went back after about 15 mins and there was a definite pink line. I'm sure it was an evaporate though - after all this time ttc it's obviously not a BFP. I wish I'd have waited the full time so I could be sure it didn't come up in time but I'm not testing again, I'll just wait for af

 

[EmmyReece]

if you only waited a minute hun, it could be a bfp

 

[Traskey]

Good morning everyone, happy summer time to all

Lil Pixie, I hate evap lines! I'd do another one later or tomorrow where you can watch it and see what's going on.

Emmy, yay for your temp staying up and cross hairs!

Lovie, good morning

I am feeling good day. I've had loads of sleep and with those 9lbs lost last week I can see a difference in my waist and chest measurement of a couple of centimetres

I thought i'd share this. We know most of it already but there's no such thing as too much knowledge. 101 ways to improve your conception chances. Can't hurt right?

 

[EmmyReece]

I've got it bookmarked

Anything that gives us more of a chance of getting that bfp, can't be bad

They're fantastic results Traskey, so glad you're having visible results too hun

 

[lovie]

hello all

I hope that test was the begining of a BFP for you lil pixie! glad you enjoyed the hen party

trasky you have done so so well, I hope you feel really proud of yourself! that is such great inch and weight loss! especially as you have been dieting for a while now, i think its normal to get really big numbers when you 1st start a diet but you have been eating really healthily for ages now and your body is still in weight loss mode thats great!!

thank you for that link! im worried about the do have sex in the morning bit, that isnt really in our BD rutine, but oh well we had better try i guess!

i hope the weather brightens up for you later this week emmy, its really dull here now we were going to go for a bike ride but its grey and blowing a gale, so i think we will go and walk around the shops instead!

Hello ladies!

Lil pixie oh I hope that's the beginning of a bfp! Evap lines are so unfair.

Emmy yay that you're moving so soon!

Traskey thanks for the link - I don't know whether to laugh or cry though, reading through it we've done or are doing pretty much everything that doesn't require a dr!

And it's great to lose cm's, you'll soon feel it in your clothes too!

lovie we tried the sex in the morning thing one cycle, and we're not doing it again. Getting up at 6am just to have sex turned it into such a chore that I'm not willing to try it again! I've figured that bd'ing in the am during weekends will have to be enough, and even that doesn't always happen.

Nothing much going on here, been good with the exercise yesterday and today (1 hour 15 mins both days, zumba + one of my circuit training type workout dvds). Perhaps a walk in the evening. Before that we have a huge job ahead of us of cleaning the house, as we skipped it for most part last weekend.

Im not sure about that link tbh, I mean it says you should do reiki, massage, yoga, etc etc. If you did it all youd have no time for

Also, obv written by a man, morning sex, urgh.

 

[Tarkwa]

Totally agree about morning sex - such a chore. We did try it on the last cycle, but DH said never again!!! But then if you leave it too late in the day you're both yawning (that's happened a few times, I can tell you!).

Looking through the tips some of them are obvious and IMO some are technically incorrect. Take number 22 for example - orgasms. Me do NOT need to orgasm to make a baby - some spermies can leak out before ejaculation. And for women, there was a program by that Dr Winston (miracle fertility doctor) that showed in a female orgasm the cervix dips down into the pool of semen, helping it into the uterus. One tip says to seek help from day one, but doctors aren't interested until you've been trying properly for one year (or 6 months if over 35). It also recommends charting your BBT which the NHS says is no use at all, but this is American after all. Interesting about aloe vera and cinnamon - can bring on early miscarriage, hmmmmmm! The hand gel DH just bought has aloe in it - I wonder how true that is?

Maybe if you bathed in it 24/7 thered be a risk. Im sure a bit of handgel will be fine. Your Dr would tell you if it was unsafe, like pate or soft cheese.

God, so bored and husband is watching the grand prix. Going for a run, back in 20 mins and will be unable to breathe

 

[EmmyReece]

Hi everyone

Just woken up from a 3 hour nap

Had some pasta and sauce for lunch which made me feel sick, so had a lie down, but had to lie on my side as it was hurting my boobies and tummy, and woken up 3 hours later

Got some funny things going on down in my tummy, a couple of pops, stretchy aches and twinges

 

[cranberry987]

Hi

I just made a mini group for those who want to WI on Tuesdays, its at
https://www.babyandbump.com/ttc-gro...g-preg-well-pretty-damn-soon.html#post9849519

Not a replacement for this, just a mini version I spose

[lovie]

wohoo yay for running cranberry! i hope your able to breath again now! I hate the grand prix! I was in melbourne last year when it was on and i hated it even more then, you can here the cars all acros the city, I think it is about as much fun as watching the M25!

as for morning sex, i think we have had it maybe 2 times in our entire relationship, I do not feel sexy when im all soft and sleepy! im sure we were all not conceived by morning sex, my mother tells me i was conceived on a peace march in the 80's she said well we had sex the night before and then went on a peace march so that is where I guess the sperm met the egg... ewww! my mum allso tells me it was the 1st time she had ever had sex during her "fertile" time.. so lucky for her!

i hope the house cleaning is ging good strawberry! håkan is cleaning as i dont much mind mess but it gets to a point where he cant cope with it.

as for female orgasms i heared that they were good when ttc because they relax you and stop you getting right up and all the spermies falling out, so if you orgasm you are more likely to lie still for 5 mins after DTD

we went shopping today and i baught some gifts for my mum for mothers day, I got her a head massager, a little plate to put her used teabag in (she is a tea addict) and a fridge magnet that "normal peaple scare me" I think it is very funny as we are a very ab-normal family but my stepdad wishes we were all normal and tries to pretend every thing is normal!

agh!! I forgot to take my epo and ac today id better go do that!

Traskey, Wow!! Well done on the 9lbs, that amazing!!

This is a long post, and I'm so sorry to bring it here, but I need to get it out, or else I am actually going to go crazy. Sorry ladies.

Well, I can honestly say I have had the most rubbish weekend. On Friday my husband didn't come home from work until 7.30-he finishes at 5.30, he had been to the pub. I wasn't very happy but let it go. He then informed me he was going to go back out, he left at 8.30, and didn't get home until 6.30am! I was livid, he was so drunk, had been smoking9both fags and weed), and I later found out (by looking on his phone) he had brought some cocaine. I was so heart broken, I still am, I can't believe he is doing this. He knows how much this hurts me everyday, and he knows the damage he will cause by doing it. He says he is sorry, and only did it because he is so stressed out at the thought of the appt on weds. I understand that, but really? He is the one with the problem, and he is the one who is doing nothing to change. I buy him vitamins, but he never takes them, even if I leave them out, he doesn't. He promised he had stopped smoking, but I then found out he was still smoking at work.

He has spent the entire weekend trying to make it up to me, and he really isn't a bad person, but having a baby is so important to me, I feel so hurt. Why, why would he do it?

Then to top it all off, my period is 2 days late, I took a test yesterday and got my first ever evap, nice. But of course I started to think that maybe it was just a super faint grey bfp! I did another test today and got that all too familiar stark whiteness.

So my period is MIA, I'm still not pregnant, and my husband seems to be on a mission to fuck up his sperm even more than it already is. Happy weekend to me.

 

[EmmyReece]

Ohhhh zowiey

I'm so sorry it's been such a crappy weekend

I would have been livid too, well I am livid for you. Has he ever done this before the cocaine or is it a one off?

I wish I had some proper advice, but I'm here with lots and lots of

 

[zowiey]

Thanks emmy,

He has done it before, but then we both used to do it, it was never a regular thing, and for me, I stopped all of it about a year before we started ttc, and I made him stop once we started ttc. What hurts me most is that he obviously didn't think about how much his actions would hurt me. He gave me no thought at all.

 

[cranberry987]

I think its hard for men to think that their spunk is anything but super strength. Seems like denial is playing a part here. Hes been a cock, but he did spend the rest of the weekend trying to make it up to you, so I think forgive him his slipup.

With the vitamins, can you take them at night with dinner together? Might just be that you need to change the routine, I know Im always forgetting to take mine.

Good luck with the appt this week, rly hope it goes well. Also, Evil evap line

 

[lovie]

zowie im sorry you have had such a rubish weeken it must be really hard to know that you are doing so much to try to help the 2 of you ttc and he isnt trying as hard, I know smoking isnt good when you are ttc, does cocain have a negative effect on fertility? not that if it doesnt have a negative effect its fine, it really isnt fine for him to do that without talking to you about it, and if he has said he wont take drugs he just shouldnt.

do you think he might be really scared about the tests and have a kinda "im going to fuck my body up so much that if the tests come back bad it isnt actually me that is bad it because i took those drugs and smoking" ? like allmost if he trys hard and does all the right things and the tests come back bad it might be too much for him to take?

maybe try to talk to him about the issues seperatly, like should he be out till 6.30 in the morning without letting you know? should he be spending your money on drugs? should he lie to you about smoking at work? should he be more serious about taking the vitamins? at least he is trying to make it up to you... is there anything you really hate doing? maybe get him to do the dishes for ever!

I hope you work it out with him soon, try to get him to see tomorrow as a new day and start afresh xxxx
