Clomid Club Graduate Buddies

[SBB]

I felt the same when we found out S was a boy
But it's different 2nd time and I don't need that feeling again this time for some reason... I don't think we'll see at the scan but pretty sure we'll stay yellow!

Lou why do we have to ignore you?!

I have had an up and down day! Went to meet friends in pub which was fine but Sammuel poorly and tired so got whingy, and Danny has an ability to forget any responsibility at all as soon as he's chatting away with a pint in his hand!

Then we went to his brothers for dinner which was nice, and Sammuel was playing with his older cousin and it was really funny... But we left and he hadn't loosened the seat belt on the new car seat so I couldn't get S in easily and I totally flipped at Danny. Then we got back and asked him to hold S while I took my boots off and he says he didn't hear me so went off outside to unload car, then told me I didn't say it. I know what I f**king well said. So I totally flipped again. I think it's safe to say I'm hormonal and stressed and could flip at any given moment.

I also spent 4 nights making a huge piece of artwork for someone, only to fuck it up at the end and I don't know if I can fix it. I'm so pissed off. I'll have to give her the money back if I can't sort it, I can't bear to do it again I've spent so long on it already.

Awww sorry you are hormonal! I was the same at 17 weeks! Is the sickness gone now?
It's horrid when you get in those moods... You just wish men could suddenly know how to behave but anyhow they can't do right!

It's fun now I know it's a boy I feel much happier about having a boy, I think of teenage girls and boys and I think a boy might be easier plus I love the idea of a mini OH
He is definitely moving a lot more since the morning of the scan
It's funny cause as soon as I saw him on the screen, I knew it was a boy

Such a shame about the artwork? What did you do that screw it up? Maybe you can see it but someone else would not? I am sure you are being a perfectionist!

 

[SBB]

The artwork is a bit long to explain!! I'll try and do it anyway and post a pic...

I am feeling baby unicorn every day now but I still feel sick every afternoon-evening. I swear it had gone but now it's back

Boys are the best

Hi ladies... I'm still in the TTC forum but since all you ladies are already pregnant I just wanted to stop by and ask a question. I started clomid 50 mg cd 5-9 and I am currently 5dpo and I been experiencing some crazy symptoms and I wanted to know if any of you went through this the month you got your bfp.. Since 2dpo I been having cramping on both sides, a lil nausea, urinating a lot more than usual to the point where I am waking up out of my sleep at night to pee and I never did that before I also been feeling dizzy... I don't want to get my hopes up but I kind of can't help it..lol... Please let me know what y'all ladies think. Hopefully I will be joining the clomid graduate forum soon!!!! Wish me luck...

I found out I was pregnant before I had any symptoms (blood test at 9dpo).. my first symptom was actually cramping and feeling full before I had even eaten half the amount I normally did.
I do know I got my hopes up due to some symptoms on my first cycel and got horribly upset - the clomid can give you many symptoms that are similar to pregnancy unfortunately Good luck though!!!




Hey girls, I haven't been on BnB much for days. Been in touch on FB though, so I won't rehash any of that stuff, lol.
As for carriers, a wrap is really convenient in the early days, but if I had it to do over, I'd do a ring sling... so easy to just take it on and off and I hated wearing the wrap without Daniel in it, lol... plus you can use it for a hip-carry once they are older. Daniel got heavy so fast that we didn't use the wrap a ton.
And V - you do have to have a certain awareness when a baby is in a carrier for their breathing - they shouldn't have their faces pressed against your chest, their heads should turn to the side, you should also listen for any snoring-type noises that might indicate their chins are tipped down and making it harder for them to breathe. Their heads should be up within 'kissing distance' they say.... don't panic about it, the only really unsafe carriers are those that are almost like a purse with the baby down in a bag that carries them down at your hip (they banned those here)... but just use common sense etc

I love my Butterfly, it rolls up to store as small as a wrap It comes with the infant insert for babies 8-15lbs. I didn't use it until Daniel was 15lbs though. I wouldn't worry about buying one until your LO is here though, that way its still within a return window if you try it and don't like it.

Wantababy - clomid messes with your head! My main symptoms were super sore boobs and a lot of cramping very early on ( I thought my periods were definitely coming early turned out it was prob implantation and a very bad case of constipation due to really high progesterone). I tested negative at 10dpo but then had a very strong positive at 14 dpo when my periods did not arrive. Good luck but bare in mind the most successful cycle is usually the third one so don't get too upset if it's not this month x

Lisa, thanks for the very good tips! I am starting a baby wish list on amazon and will try to limit myself to buying what I really need in the first couple of weeks just so exciting now might buy a couple of proper boy outfits as I stuck to neutral so far!

Hi ladies, sorry I haven't been on... I've had a clingy, whingey, nightmare baby for the last 4 days... I'm at my wits end. Thursday she was vomiting all day, Friday diarrhoea and temp, yesterday and today non stop crying. She's not eaten for days... not even a sponge finger or chocolate button. She's hardly drunk anything either... Her breath smells of pear drops too... MOstly I just feel so angry at Joe for making me deal with this on my own. I know I'm not the first single mum in the world, but that doesn't make it any less sucky.

 

[babyloulou]

Jess- Have you taken her to the doctors? Pear drop breath is from a build up of keytones. Either from a temporary problem/virus or as an early sign of diabetes- either way I know it's something you should get checked out - especially if she's that upset too xxx

 

[Peach Blossom]

I'm going to wait until tomorrow morning as see how she is. She's gone down fine tonight. I've spoken to both doctor parents over the weekend and they've said just to wait and see how she's doing. She better be better tomorrow otherwise I'm going to sell her to the gypsies.

Wantababy- I agree with the others - Clomid does mess with your head. I had awful symptoms every single month- APART from my BFP month! I think it's pretty random how it effects you each month to be honest. Good luck and I hope it works for you super quick xxxx

Suz- I said "ignore me" cos I wrote out a post saying I like Valentines Day as it is romantic and called you a "bah humbug" but I did it with loads of funny smileys and when I submitted the post they hadn't worked!! So I deleted it!! Sorry you're feeling so crap sweetheart

Here's Ben in his new ERF seat.....

Your son is adorable! Awwww I can't wait to have a baby

 

[babyloulou]

Awww It'll happen for you! We've all been in your position and believed we'd never get there. LTTC is SO hard- but you will get there xxx

 

[SBB]

Wantababy I did have those symptoms first time... And this time. But I do agree with the others that clomid can mess with you so don't get your hopes too high. Fingers crossed though hope this is it!

Lou I love the seat! Is it isofix? We don't have that so limited options... I will take a pic of S in his too!

Jess sorry lili is still poorly its so hard when they're ill for days, especially on your own hope she's better tomorrow...

Sammuel still has a cough he was up loads last night. The ILs bought him a humidifier so that's on in the bedroom. Fingers crossed he's better tonight.

When the ILs came over today I hid in the bedroom. I couldn't face seeing anyone I just wasn't in the mood to pretend to be ok and make conversation... Went out and got Danny some presents with Sammuel and felt better.

[Euronova]

Aww poor Lili feeling unwell I hope she is better tomorrow!

That is one huge piece of equipment! (the rear facing seat) but it looks really comfy!

Suz - sorry you were feeling crap, what did you get him?

 

[babyloulou]

No it's not Isofix Suz. We haven't gpt Isofix either x

OH my god! Ben is ill now too He's got a really high temperature and is burning up Crying his eyes out

 

[SBB]

I got him back to the future box set on bluray and some nice coffee (thanks for the suggestion!!) and some nice mugs as all of ours are chipped. And some balloons to play with Sammuel and Sammuel chose him a card with a dog on!

The ERF seats are big but they do look so comfy for the babie!

[Euronova]

what is going on seems they are all ill in turn I guess it's their first winter.... getting used to all these bugs!

 

[Euronova]

That is so lovely Suz, very spoilt

 

[SBB]

I don't think I saw that option at the place we got ours Lou

Nothing would fit in our car - even though it's quite a big car (freelander)

Poor Ben he's only just got better
