Early 30's TTC #1

[mrsmax]

why did your dr say he doesnt think you'll get prg MrsPT?

 

[MrsPTTC]

not my DR, my DH! Ha ha. He said as it was taking so long he had no faith in me getting pg. Silly man, they always say the wrong things! X

 

[Crumbs]

MrsPTTC, you're a saint! I would have been balling my eyes out if DH said that even in jest! Men

I don't think I'll test ... so sad but that's how I roll now. My cycles have slowly gotten longer since we started TTC. It was never, ever longer than 30 days ... then it was 31 days and two months ago it was 33 days! It used to be exactly 29 days So I won't test unless it's late by 4 days ... (but most-likely late by a day from my longest ever).

BTW, I've given up trying to ignore all the uber cute baby gear! Though I'm pretending it's for my 2 pregnant friends. My most recent purchase, another knitted hat: https://www.etsy.com/transaction/55641887
(Warning: cute baby alert!)

Seriously ... how cute is that!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thank you Crumbs! I know I couldn't believe he came out with that. After not being that bothered about TTC for the first 5 or 6 months and he has the cheek to say that!! I said only 85% of couples conceive in the first year and his response was "yeah so almost all" hmph.. We've got it good compared to some people who take 2/3 years, even more. But our time will come, when it's right...

Yes I know what you mean about not testing. I will get to AF due date one month without testing, I promise!! . Wow that hat is so cute! Can't believe the shipping to the UK is so little though, too good to believe! You've actually bought stuff for your future baby already?! x

 

[Crumbs]

I'm pretending it's for my pregnant friends. But honestly, that hat is for my future baby! The other one I bought (this one Warning: another cute baby) was definitely for a friend - I just haven't gotten around to sending it yet.

I'm putting together a few things to surprise DH with when we finally get a BFP

I can't sleep although I should be since I have to get up early tomorrow. I did, however, write to the hospital and commented about my last appointment. I should have complained ages ago ... it's nice to finally get things off my back.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Ahh that's so cute too! I know some ladies buy things before the get pg but I just couldn't bring myself to, its so tempting but I am superstitious.. Good on you for sending your complaint hun x

Hi Ladies! Hope all is well.

MrsPTTC sorry AF got ya and DH is acting out. Somtimes when it rains it pours. But the sun shines again always.

Aisak sorry about the news but hope the lap goes well. This process is so frustrating. We never know what will be next when we talk to the doc. However, keep the faith!

Crumbs I feel ya. It's all surreal to me that I am in my 30's (in general lol) let alone that I have yet to conceive. But I'm praying your BFP comes very soon. Its amazing how things can turn positive in just a short period of time.

AFM alls quiet on the western front. Cycle day 8. Time to start tempting. It will be Opk time again. And....the cycle keeps going on.

Crumbs - those hats are so cute.

I happen to have a few bibs I bought a number of years ago cause they had baby snoopy on them (Snoopy is my fav cartoon character) - they are in storage for our baby . Plus I have bought some children's books - silly I know as it will be years before I am able to read them to our children but they were such a good price and I remember loving these books as a kid . Plus it appears I am now the proud owner of a port-a-cot and a high chair - mum knew someone who was selling them at a very cheap price and they are brand new.

MrsPTTC - good luck with HSG next week.

AFM - looks like I am 1dpo today so into the TWW we go again. Its like a merry go round and I would truly like to get off the ride sometime soon!!!

 

[MsJMouse]

I really like your avatar Regalpeas. Good luck with this cycle.

 

[Regalpeas]

MSJMouse thanks !



Hope this is your cycle!!!

hello ladies i really need to speak to someone this morning. my af is due in 2 days and i have just did a clearblue pregnancy test and it says that i am 1-2 weeks PREGNANT!!!!!!! could this be real? or could it be faulty? i still have period symptoms like sore boobs, low abdominal pain and a bit of back pain... what advice do you give me ? should i rely on the test?

 

[MrsPTTC]

They say you don't get a false positive! congratulations!!! To put your mind at rest do a normal test, I'm sure you'll get 2 lines!

Thanks ladies Saw my cousin who has 3 kids yesterday, I was a bit annoyed as she said she thought 11 months wasn't very long & to "relax" but she thought BD'ing is enough to be classed as TTC, I told her its not & to me 11 months is a long time when you're hitting ovulation every month. Anyway, on a positive note her 1st & 3rd children were accidents (she even took the morning after pill with her 1st but clearly it didn't work!) but it took her 9 or 10 months to conceive her 2nd! So it just goes to show! I have just remembered I do actually have a baby buy though I supposed to have bought it for me but I haven't watched it yet. It's a dvd of a children's prog I used to watch. It was cheap so I picked it up. When we have children I'm going to buy lots more old dvds so I can watch them with my LO as its rubbish on tv these days! X

 

[pink80]

Congratulations Isabel - I've never heard of anyone getting a false positive on a digi

MrsPTTC - this so cute about the DVD - I've got loads of things that I used to watch as a child that I would like to share with my LO xx

 

[MrsPTTC]

Pink, you're in the UK, do you remember Bagpuss?! It was out in the 70's but it was repeated in the 80's which was when I watched it. It was £3 from Asda x

 

[Crumbs]

OMG! Go Isabel! Congratulations!!! Wishing you a sticky bean and a smooth and healthy pregnancy!

Let the era of the s begin!

 

[Isabel209]

i have period cramps and it feels like af is coming just now... i tested again (same brand becasue i dont have other) and i still got a BFP 1-2 weeks pregnant!!! i think i should convince myself.. cant wait to test again after af is due. pray for my bean to stick as i am afraid i will lose it.. my progesterone is low

 

[pink80]

Yeah I do remember Bagpuss - I didn't really watch it - did you watch button moon?? I loved button moon!!

Isabel - I've still got af type cramps hun - it's quite normal xx

 

[MrsPTTC]

Isabel, I'm sure everything will be ok, they say pg & AF symptoms are the same.

Yes Pink I LOVED Button Moon! I even joined a petition to get it released on DVD but I don't think it has yet. Also loved Moomins, Jamie and the Magic Torch and Bod x
