Hi Girls!!
Wow, Lucy, that's so cool that you can fly! Sorry you maybe already said this, but are you taking lessons now or do you already have your license?
OMG the spilled softcup story is hilarious Hearty! So I am a little confused though...did Tim just wake up randomly at 4 am and decide he would give you this present?
Sorry about the ho bag Nato. I'm glad you are looking into some other options now, but seriously I just want to punch her in the face sometimes.
Yay for 12 weeks Sassy and for the third trimester Mel! So exciting!

We had our apartment showing tonight so hopefully we will get some offers tomorrow. I am totally excited to see what happens. I can't stop crying on and off all day today though because the hubby is leaving tomorrow to drive down to Oslo to start his new job on Wednesday. He'll be back in a few weeks and then again for Christmas. Once the new year starts and he gets more settled in his job he will be coming home everything Thursday night (or Friday) for the weekend. I am so happy that he finally has a good job but living apart more than 50% of the time is going to take some adjustment.
I am sad that he's going to be gone so much during this pregnancy and probably the first couple of years afterwards, but at the moment I am more worried that something will happen with this one and then he won't be around that much for us to even try again. I am trying to optimistic, but right now I'm just sad

I just packed him a giant care package for the drive and for his new little apartment.
Now I really need a dog to keep me company!

On the plus side, I can spend more time on BnB in the evenings without judgement

oh one more thing! My MIL found this study that the local hospital is doing where they try to use blood tests, ultrasounds, and other tests in early pregnancy to predict if women are more likely to develop pre-eclampsia. It sounds like a pretty cool study and although we don't get paid anything, that means we get a shit-load of free ultrasounds along the way I got my acceptance package and have my first appointment in early january at 11 weeks

 

[heart tree]

Wow Amy that's a lot to deal with hon. We are pretty adaptable creatures and eventually you'll get more accustomed to it. But it must be awful right now. Luckily you got yourself knocked up before all of these changes! How far away will he be?

To clarify, Tim was up partying with the husbands of the two pregnant women at my Thanksgiving. They are all musicians and they were jamming until 3:00 am or so. When they left, he did the deed in the cup. Since we had failed sex earlier in the night I gave him the cup and asked him to do it! That's why it was at 4am!

 

[heart tree]

Cool study! When is your first scan?

 

[Sassy_TTC]

I'm glad you aksed that Amy I was wondering the same thing! I made upthe story that Tim had a horny dream so woke up and loaded the goods in the cup, my preggo brain is crazy!!

 

[heart tree]

If Tim only knew about this conversation!

 

[LucyJ]

love the way your mind works sassy. Happy 12 weeks.

Wow amy you have a lot on I hope once you and hubby settle into it it wont be to bad. I just had the one of lesson it was for my 30th birthday present which was august from my mum and dad. I would love to have more lessons and get my private lesson but we just cant afford it.

 

[Jaymes]

Flying is a very expensive hobby! My DH has a whole job (on the side) that he funds his addiction with! He wants me to get a sports license so that I can take over in case of an emergency, but I've been putting it off, I've flown a few times with him, but everytime I am totally white knuckled and if we hit turbulence while I have control I totally freak!

 

[sugarlove]

Here's a pic of the snow in York. Ignore my dog's evil flashing eyes

 

[heart tree]

Beautiful Sugar! Your dog does look a bit demonic. Haha. Did you get the deed done??

 

[NatoPMT]

Sugar, its all about the unknown anxiety innit. I feel the same, if i knew i had a baby (or 3 but i think i know now that aint gonna happen) then i wouldnt be breaking sofas with my vast bulk.

Hiya Luce. Glad i have another shouter at Fosters adverts. Look out for the one that starts 'Johno' - then start shouting. i think he put his own name in on purpose. Is it your appointment on Wednesday? Is it a private or nhs fs?

Dont think so jenny, unless they have a very good aim with a teeny tiny pipe

googled and found:

Natural IUI: A Less Invasive Option

For some couples, natural IUI might be a better and less expensive way to conceive. With typical IUI, the women's ovulation cycle is monitored closely. She is then given medication, sometimes in the form of pills or injections, that stimulates ovulation.

While this increases the likelihood of producing well-timed eggs, it also increases the chances of a multiple birth since more than one egg may be released. For some women, these medications cause a lot of unwanted side effects.

Another potential drawback to IUI is the cost. Most insurance companies don't cover the cost of fertility treatments, which can easily run into thousands of dollars for just one attempt. Each additional form of assistance, from fertility medications to ultrasound monitoring, costs more out-of-pocket money.

Natural IUI is a less expensive and less invasive procedure that may work for many couples. With this procedure, a woman naturally ovulates on her own, without outside assistance. When ovulation occurs, the sperm is injected into the uterus using a small syringe. The sperm will then, hopefully, travel up the fallopian tubes and meet the egg, causing fertilization.

After heartys post, do people actually do this at home? i thought it just meant iui without drugs?? how the bloody hell do you do that? i cant even check my cervix position without cringing.

Jaymes, i bet a few of them are sweating a bit

Thanks cesca mate. It's weird isnt it, imagine if when i first knew you, we knew we'd be going through whats happened this year. I was meaning to ask you to give Zig and Ted a wave from me.

Hi yogi. Step away from Dazed - infecting her will not make you less infected with the addictions you know. Have you tested yet? I wanna see who will crack first between you and hearty. Think i know the answer.

Hi Amy - fingers crossed at offers tomorrow! is the housing market ok over there? I dont envy you with this job and travelling situation, id be really upset too. At least you dont need to worry about ov / bd, but you need him there. Theres no reason to worry about this one though - bean is staying put. You really have got a lot of nasties going on - you will need guilt free disco posting, we will be your surrogate partner.

 

[NatoPMT]

If Tim only knew about this conversation!

Im gonna grass you up and tell him

 

[sugarlove]

ha ha. He's a big softy really Hearty!

I did get the deed done thanks and had a bowl of chicken broth afterwards

 

[jenny25]

i dont mind checking my cervix tbh ive kinda figured it out anyway i dunno if i could do home iui i mean could you not cause damage? i have no idea maybe youtube has videos lol xx

 

[NatoPMT]

cor look at all that snow. there hasnt been a single goddamn flake in london. im coming to york (assuming i wont get chased off by the hound of the snowy garden)

 

[Dazed]

Oh my. Hearty you are a brave woman having your man give you a cup of goo!

Pressure me all you want Yogi and Nato, I will not crack (at least I don't think).

 

[NatoPMT]

it actually makes me feel a bit queasy to check my cervix Jenny. It makes me feel queasy if i do pelvic floor exercises too.

i wouldnt like to risk jabbing around, youre right, what if you sneezed mid operation?

 

[NatoPMT]

Oh my. Hearty you are a brave woman having your man give you a cup of goo!

haha

Pressure me all you want Yogi and Nato, I will not crack (at least I don't think).

dont, i will respond to the challenge and end up making myself a worse addict. I will be testing 13 days before ov now. Not 13dpo, 13dbo

 

[jenny25]

god i wouldnt like to think what would happen , i hate how the timing and that cause paul he is out the house for atleast 12 hours a day so depending on when that eggy gets released urgh why does it need to be all blah i think i will stick to the way we are doing for now lol x

 

[jenny25]

you know what im gonna get paul to leave me a pot of goo in the morning haha i bet he will look at me funny cause we havent talked about it lol x
