Bright new month, bright new cycle! Everyone's welcome!

[wintergirl]

hey waiting! yes you need to be doing a helluva lot of BDing very soon! morning, noon and night! lol great to hear your positivity also it would be amazing if we all got BFP this year and then we could continue this journey together! Connections from england to canada to new zealand! wow! im excited!!!!!!

yup im gonna enjoy my week and half before I need to start thinking about all that again, so i have been enjoying myself with a couple of large glasses of wine! lol

I hope your dream comes true and we all get our BFPs!

 

[prepping]

waiting, That's great that you dreamt about our BFPs! Last night's dream for me involved little bird eggs... about 5 of them. I was trying to figure out how that might have to do with me, so maybe I was dreaming about all of our eggs? Neat! haha
And that is an AWESOME idea about the ultrasound pic in a card!! But... wouldn't a Sept BFP put us at 4 months by the time Christmas rolls around? I may still totally snag your idea for the extended family if we can keep it quiet long enough! As soon as the grandparents know, I'm pretty sure they'd spread the word within 5 minutes so we'll have to see.

winter, I had myself a couple glasses of wine just last night while watching the 6th season of How I Met Your Mother. And about the connections, that'd be pretty cool. Even if the two of you talk funny, eh? Kidding! LoL

SO I need to get on the baby dancing train I think! Every other day for the next couple times, and then game on for next week.

Oh! And one of the things that DH and I found so funny about the How I Met Your Mother episodes is the antics between Lily and Marshall as they're trying to have a baby. DH just kept on laughing saying "that's you!" in reference to how they were kind of freaking that it didn't happen on their first or second time. LoL And he kept emphasizing that it'll be our fourth cycle just like he thought from the start. Yay!

 

[waiting2c]

Hmmm Im not sure how to count the whole thing then, I figured if I found out mid September then Mid December would be round 3 months ish? I have no idea if I could keep it quiet till then either, i possibly could from family for the excitement factor of the xmas present idea, but I would have to tell some people!! I would explode otherwise lol.

Have brought an OPK to work with me today to do one this arvo as I think my late night pee is too diluted from the day and the water ive been drinking at the gym. Just want to see if that gives me a line as I had some EWCM this morning and dont want to miss anything!! Have my BBT back so will temp this morning too (I do them slightly later than first thing as i am never sticking to the same schedule for getting up and that was varying them too much).... My OH will be gettin busy tonight lol! I was too tired last night, worked a 15 hour day yesterday with end of month.

Ohhh you are entering your fertile window too Prepping, lots of BDing for you too!!!

Winter - good on you, enjoy a few wines, it is so nice to chill out aye!

Not long till the weekend now! Hurray! Im looking forward to a relax and rest filled weekend.

 

[prepping]

Well, as soon as you miss your period you're considered to be around 4 weeks pregnant. So 12 weeks brings us to the end of November. It's not a bad thing to wait a little longer for some people. It's sad, but DHs cousin announced she was 13 weeks pregnant at the last Easter get together and it turned out they miscarried around the same time. I wouldn't mind waiting to tell DH's side of the family until closer to 16 weeks. There's just too many of them and too many inquisitive minds (and gossip mouths )

Considering you'll be working until 11pm and still going to jump your DH afterwards, way to go you! Now that's commitment.

Do you have a long weekend to look forward to where you are too?

 

[waiting2c]

Nope just a normal 2 day weekend... How come you get a long one? We are not due a long weekend for another month two months!

I have some self created long weekends coming up though which I am looking forward to, and a holiday on the gold coast (australia) in November.

Thats really sad about your DH cousin, how awful for her to have waited that long and then miscarried. I had a good friend who lost her baby 1 month before she was due a year and a half ago, she is now just about to give birth again and is so terrified of the same thing happening. Its so so sad. She will be fine this time round but hearing of things like that gets to me.

Lol - it was last night I worked till 11pm, tonight I should be home just after 5, go to the gym for a workout, and then ill give my OH a workout

 

[doopersgurl]

Hey everyone!!

Yup Prepping, we will time our Bding!! lol! No lines for me yet, but ironically it has worked out that for the past 6 odd days we have DTD every second night so going to keep that up till about 2 days from O day then perhaps every night for a few! Really want to give this my absolute best shot! Told OH this mornign that the next 7 days are important ones and we will be getting busy lol!

Winter - I have not been great at charting this past week as i keep misplacing my BBT, found it yesterday then left it at the office DOH so missed this morning! Back into it tomorrow so will be in time for O hopefully. Its not too bad, I just try and take it around the same time each day and put the figure into FF, it definitely helped me to have an idea of where things were at for me last month.

Doopers and winter - enjoy these two weeks till O day, have a relax and a wine and unwind a bit, then before O day get in there!! We are so all going to be bump buddies, and its gonig to be awesome that our kids have ties around the world from the second they are born! I dreamt about our BFPs last night, must make it true aye!!

You guys will get your birthday present BFPs, and I have been dreaming about finding out this month and being able to give my family a card with a Ultrasound Pic in it for Xmas as that would be just past 3 month mark...

Hope you all have a fantastic night over there, and day tomorrow! We are doing end of month tonight which means I am at work till about 11pm today, but even that isnt quashing my positiveness in life today

this well cheered me up well sweet thanks hun

 

[prepping]

waiting, it seems Canada is lacking in the number of holidays so we have to embrace anything we can get. It's the Labor Day long weekend and DH has already started his by taking the 2 days before it off. Lucky bugger.
A trip to the golden coast sounds fantastic!! It's one of the places on my lifetime list that I want to visit. This month I get to look forward to a weekend down in wine country for a wedding, and a weekend in cottage country for a work thing. So I guess I have micro mini vacations.

Dooper & waiting, How are you girls doing? You two are coming into fertile time aren't you?

You know you're TTC when... You feel a little cheated when your OH turns into stamina man and you run out of time before a big ending happens. Darn! Would never have been phased at all about that before as long as everyone had a good time, but I kind of need his little guys!

It's a good thing there's still lots of time. We'll call last night a practice run. (thank goodness I can talk to you girls about this sort of TMI stuff!)

 

[wintergirl]

Hey guys - this is just a quickie - i will come back tomorrow and reply to any specifics regarding TTC - but I have some (non baby) fantastic news that is not related and Im about to go meet the OH for a celebratory drink!.....


I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!! wahoooooooooo!

went for my interview today and they called me 2 hours later saying I was the clear choice! I start on Monday!!

what did i say - a sign of good things to come!

I feel positive about the future!

 

[prepping]

YAY!!!! That's awesome! Told you, everything's gonna come up Winter!

Definitely a sign of good things to come. The ball has now started to roll, momentum will make things happen. Congrats!!

 

[waiting2c]

Winter - massive congrats! that is fantastic news, very pleased for you. You enjoy that celebrating!!

Doopers - glad you felt cheered up! How are you doing anyway, where are you at in your cycle??

Prepping - as they say practice makes perfect, dont stress too much about that one. I have to say though I worry about it when we are doing the dance, but hasnt been a problem yet. Just means you will have to do it again tonight What are you up to for your long weekend?

AFM - we DTD last night, so am still on track with my every other night thing, but today I am feeling sore, not "down there" but internally if you know what i mean, its similar to period cramping but its way too early for that. I havent even Od yet. Feeling quite uncomfortable from it... hope it goes away soon!

Hey prepping - who are you saying talks funny eh? i thought that was the canadians! joke.

Its funny - I've always seen the trailers to that season of how i met your mother and it was always focusing on lily and marshall talking about babies and pregnancy... but ive never watched it - ive seen some of the older ones and i do really enjoy it - maybe i will watch the whole series - seems like i may be able to relate to it also.

I cant wait to see how you get on this month - I hope your DH's intuition is right about it being 4th time lucky!

 

[wintergirl]

waiting, prepping - so sorry to hear about your friend and DH cousin and their losses, its awful, it makes you realise how scary being pregnant could actually be. Im sure your friend will be ok waiting - to have that happen again would be beyond cruel - she will be fine.

My cousin unfortunately suffered a loss last year. It was horrid - her and her DH announced it to everyone about 2 months in (prob a bit early) and everyone was so excited for them.... the next thing she was being rushed into hospital as she was having excrutiating pain - turns out it was an ectopic pregnancy, she had to have the tube removed and take over a month off work - its so sad because they would have made awesome parents and now their chances of conceiving have been affected. she was so strong about it though, i really admired her for the way she just got on with her life and put a brave face on, i really hope she announces a pregnancy soon - it really puts things into perspective.

prepping - in regards to public holidays here we are not too bad - most of ours are in the first half of the year - i think we had about 4 in the space of a month in may, and last monday was also a bank holiday, i think the next one now will be christmas. not that it matters to me, ive been out of any kind of work for the last 2 weeks so it will be great to get back into some sort of work routine on monday, maybe take my mind off the pressures of TTC. sounds like you have some really lovely little mini holidays coming up tho!


waiting im very jealous too about your trip to the Gold Coast. A couple of years ago I lived in Australia - we never made it to gold coast - we lived in Adelaide for 10 months then we lived in sydney for 8 months. then my OH lost his job due to reccession out there and we had to move back! I love Oz tho, one of my good friends out there is getting married next yr and we have been invited - I would love to go back - money permitting! my OH has an auntie as well who lives in Christchurch (sadly near to where the quake was) so maybe a trip to see them could be on the cards within next few yrs.

doopers - how you getting on?

 

[wintergirl]

also just wanted to say - dont worry about the TMI sex stuff! I like reading it cos i know i can tell you girls exactly the same - bang away! we are only human!

 

[doopersgurl]

hey ladies congrats wintergirl well im fine got abit of a cold not good but hey its a lovely day... not to long til my fertile period....cant wait to try again....how are you all????

 

[doopersgurl]

also just wanted to say - dont worry about the TMI sex stuff! I like reading it cos i know i can tell you girls exactly the same - bang away! we are only human!

gosh you do make me laugh lol

 

[wintergirl]

haha, im good thanks doopers - apart from having a stinking hangover - OOPS. Me and the OH enjoyed a whole bottle of Amarone last night to celebrate, plus I'd also had some beers - oh well, I hardly ever get drunk and once im preg I wont be able to do any of that! sorry to hear you have a cold hope you feel better soon x

 

[doopersgurl]

exactly you may as well have a drink until you get preg hun otherwise that would be silly lol..i will survive.... i am totally hooked on here lol i spose to be doing my housework but luckily we quite clean so not alot to do our dates aint to far away

 

[prepping]

waiting, way to go on your every other day run. We're both in stockpiling mode! Hope the cramping has eased off. As for our long weekend, nothing special planned. Probably a bunch of hanging out in the backyard, hot tub (but not too hot ), and whatever strikes our fancy. Since DH took the two days off in advance, he's already taken care of a lot of stuff like cleaning the house, laundry, and finishing up some reno stuff. I can't think of anything else pressing -- I'm a lucky girl.

winter, sure pregnancy can have scares... so can being a parent. Can't get around it. The thing to focus on is that the majority of people don't have anything serious to worry about. There's always going to be someone who knows someone who had something happen at some time. Good to enjoy doing now what you can't do when pregnant! DH and I enjoyed some more wine last night while finishing off the How I Met Your Mother season. All of you have to watch that show! They're at that age where everything they do is in line with our lives. It's hilarious!

dooper, I'm anxiously awaiting your fertile period! I hope that's not weird. LoL

So in the last few days I'm doing a bunch of stuff that I'll have to avoid for the next 9 months (forward thinking ). I had sashimi for lunch the other day, had dippy eggs this morning (runny yolk), had steak medium rare, fair amount of wine, ab workouts.... anything else I can fit in? A friend's bday is this weekend so there will be beer.
Oh, and Stamina Man was not present last night so we're good on that front.

 

[doopersgurl]

no thats not weird at all hun i am awaiting it to lol c'mon....it dont hurt to do things like that every now and again before you get preggers hun

 

[waiting2c]

I got a positive OPK today!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so super excited as this would mean am Ov'ing 3 days earlier this month, hopefully due to vitex. Stepping things up now and will do every night for next three-four nights.

Glad to hear you are stockpiling too Prepping. When are you due to Ovulate??

Winter - good on you girl having a hangover!! Im all for making the most of the time... I am going to have 1 glass on wine tonight and then am going to be careful after that.

Doopers - hope you are all good!

When are you all due to ovulate? Trying to work out how close together we are
