long cycles support thread :) the yelping vaginas club! (closed group)

[raventtc]

Katya - Sorry to hear the baby was hiding from you...maybe he/she wants to surprise you!

Bethany - fingers crossed for you hun

thanks for the support ladies glad to see crosshairs, even if they have moved days already...at least they are there. only time will tell if the BD'in worked this time around...we are spicing things up a bit lately..lol...sooo much fun!

 

[Diddums]

Lol I hope not Raven. I desperately want to know whether baby is a girl or boy! I might have a shot of coffee before my next appointment to make sure they're very wriggly lol.

Good to hear you and oh are keeping things fun. I think with ttc over a long period things can become boring and job like if you're not careful.

Bethany have you removed your chart?

Ladies I have a personal question. Hubby and I haven't bd since I got found out I was pregnant. He wants to but he is terrified of hurting the baby. I've tried telling him baby is well protected and he can't hurt the baby but he is still unsure. What can I do to convince him? I miss the closeness. It wasn't so bad for the first 14 weeks as i was so exhausted and sick I didn't fancy it, but feeling less tired now lol

 

[mrsc81]

Katya we probably only did it 3 times the whole pregnancy, my hubby felt the same!

 

[Diddums]

Glad to hear I'm not alone then. I think it's going to get worse as baby grows and I get bigger as well!

 

[bnporter81]

Katya, I'm so sorry to hear that DH has been too nervous to BD. I've had 3 children so my DH knows that it won't hurt anything (unless you're specifically told otherwise) to BD during pregnancy and he's never been concerned about hurting anything, lol. I can imagine how you must feel, though. This time before the baby comes is important to get in some closeness together. Maybe try to see if he would talk to the doctor/midwife about it. I'm sure they could set his mind at ease a little about it.

To answer your question, I took it down a while back because it was just too depressing to look at it all the time. I haven't even been temping for the last couple months. I started back when i got my + OPK the other day. I might see about putting it back up, though.

 

[mrsc81]

I actually thought about buying some opk's the other day

 

[Diddums]

Lol Lou old habits die hard!

Thanks Bethany. Luckily I get lots of hugs and cuddles and kisses so its not like there isn't any closeness. We had a chat about it the other night and he is really terrified of something going wrong if we bd so I'm not going to push te issue for now, don't want a stressed hubby lol. I think it took us so long to conceive that he's worried something will go wrong still. I like to look at it that I conceived on the 4th month after my periods came back. I don't really like counting the annovulatory period as ttc because you can't actually try if you don't ovulate. Does that make sense? And four months is a perfectly normal amount of time. I think I like to think like that to comfort myself when we decide to have a second one!

 

[mrsc81]

Good luck with your scan Katya!

 

[Diddums]

Thanks! 13 hours until my scan!

Hope baby cooperates this time. And I can get some nice photos! I'm going to drink a small bottle of full fat coke 30mins before the scan. I never drink full fat coke so hoping it gets baby moving. We're also the last appointment of the day so hopefully she will have a good go at getting baby to move

So excited can't wait. I'm leaning more towards boy, but have no idea why lol xxx

Raven and Bethany how you ladies doing? Xx

 

[foquita]

I guess katya, fingers crossed baby plays ball today!

we've just had a normal sex life, even though I can't be arsed most of the time

 

[raventtc]

Katya - Can't wait to hear what happened....???

 

[bnporter81]

Me too...I'm anxious to hear the news Katya!

I'm doing okay. I'm *pretty* sure I did in fact ovulate. The temps that I've been having are a little higher than the average norm. Although, since I haven't been charting for so long, I have no idea when/if FF will give me crosshairs If I did ovulate then I guess I'm either 1 or 3 dpo. Hopefully tomorrow's temp will be just as high or higher. FX'd

Raven, how is your TWW going?

 

[Diddums]

Thanks ladies! My scan is in 6 hours. I will update you all as soon as I can after that. I've just had a triple choc cookie, so hoping baby will be hyper, then will sleep, and become hyper again when I drink the coke for the scan. Or is that wishful thinking lol? Also anyone know whether full or empty bladder is better? Xxx

 

[bnporter81]

Katya, I don't think it matters quite as much now whether the bladder is full or not, since the baby is a bit bigger. I think I always tried to have mine be a little bit full, though, just because I knew they needed it that way in previous ones. But I don't think you need it full enough to make you miserable.

Good luck!

 

[mrsc81]

Full bladder

 

[Diddums]

I figured if I go with a full bladder I can always empty it? Just need to make sure I don't overfill like I did at my 12 weeks scan and almost wet myself. I had to keep letting out small amounts of wee and drinking a bit more every 10mins. If my scan had lasted an extra 5 mins I would have wet myself lol!

 

[mrsc81]

I had to have a full bladder for 20 week scan too

 

[Rachel789]

They never told me to have a full bladder at any of my scans. Hope baby cooperates this time, good luck Katya!!

 

[Diddums]

Scan in 30mins. Fingers crossed baby shows us

I've gone for a comfortably full bladder and had my bottle of coke 20mins ago!

 

[Rachel789]

Everything crossed for you!!
