[LunaBean]

[RubyRainbows]

Apparently I can get WalMart to bring them in on special order in Canada. I don't have a credit card so I had to find a way around ordering them online lol. Maybe if you have one there, give them a call and see if they can special order you some

Yeah I know where you are coming from, It is ridiculous, You'd think they would understand that it is impossible for some couples to ttc the natural way! I honestly don't know what goes through their minds
I have been on a few other sites who also give great advice! I know fertility friends/fertility zone have same sex couples on their forums. I'm not sure where you live, but a few of them have reccomended doing treatment privately in europe(CZ,Denmark, Spain etc), they also have reviews on different clinics in europe. As far as i know the clinics dont have any waiting times and treat same sex couples, single's etc. However I know this won't be a possible soloution for everyone.

Take care, All the best Ronnie x

Hiya,

Just a quickie to let you know our beautiful new son, Brennan Gray was born at 3:52am at home, making a glorious mess of the bedroom carpet but who cares... It was too fast for the pool. Brief story here: https://www.babyandbump.com/home-natural-birthing/524486-our-second-wonderful-home-birth.html

We have a baby boy! He looks just like his sister - the donor's nose seems to dominated once more - and we're over the moon. Woo hoo!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! That's great news!

I need some advice, during my 2 ww I was cervix checking, I noticed it felt open the whole time. My AF has come to an end but I have brown discharge( sorry TMI) but it's stressing me out! My cervix still feels exactly the same. Any help would be much appreciated!

Good luck all!

I have a confession ladies...

With who knows how many months until I am TTC, I may have bought a pram

I fell in love with Silver Cross recently and found one cheap on eBay this morning... couldn't resist placing a bid, thinking it'd go for much more than I bid and it didn't

I guess if I don't like it after testing it around my flat, I can always sell it on and get my money back.

Anyone else ever done something like that or am I the only mad one?

 

[NovemberRayne]

Congratulations Snagglepat

Quick question, how long or rather what's the reccommended amount of time you can leave an instead cup inserted once you've inseminated?!? I'm thinking of going on a hunt for one

Don't worry -- You're not alone!

We've already painted a nursery for our future baby! Painted it yellow, so it's neutral... and had nice sage green carpeting installed! We set up my son's old changing table & rocking chair in there! Oh, and i bought a really cute wooden/painted winnie the pooh toy box over the summer at a garage sale -- That's in there too! My son even calls it "the baby's room." Lol. He has never inquired where the baby is though!

I figured if the room looked like a dusty old storage room (like it did several months ago), no baby would choose to pick us (or that room!). I wanted to make it more inviting!

I think all this TTC is making me batty!

 

[EpdTTC]

Congrats Gina! How exciting! Looking forward to pics!

 

[Nimyra]

I would think a couple of hours would be more than enough time. I think I once left one in overnight though.

 

[babymakestwo]

Thanks Ruby, hope you and your OH get to put a baby in there soon

 

[LuluLamar]

*pops in really quickly*

I'd looove to fix my nursery up right now! Not TTC for another three weeks but already have the entire nursery and furniture to-be-purchased drawn up! Hehe

*runs out again*

 

[rosie5637]

congratulations gina, thats fab news! i love the name too, might have to put it on my list!

i already have most of the big stuff from my first baby but i put in a bid for a crib on ebay a few months ago.
i know that i will want one and this was really cheap and in my town so i thought what the hell i'll go for it and store it away. i didn't win though. someone came along at the very last second and outbid me

i did buy a couple of small things in the sales too. just stuff like extra towels and nappy pants that were going cheap. if it doesn't work out for me i can always sell on or give the stuff to my brothers wife.
