Oh mummy that's a bit mean of hubs, did you explain that it's about PMA and you will have a baby again really soon, and that's it's an exercise of faith? x

 

[AmyB1978]

for Mummy. That was quite mean of him to say! Maybe he is just afraid to embrace the PMA and get hopes up? Anyhow, it was not at all stupid and I am proud of you for your PMA.

Bailey: I totally know where you are coming from with your pup. I don't think people who don't have pets know how attached we become to them. How is he today? Sometime I wish they could speak so they can tell us how they are feeling (although I am sure my dog would tell all our secrets!). Not much different to kids I suppose!

I think with your work situation, you need to rise above it and not let the bitch stress you out. Any stress will not be good for your little bean. I used to work with a woman who made my life a misery and someone once told me to just imagine the wicked witch music from the Wizard of House in my head everytime I saw her. She also said to practice positive visualisation imagining a house falling on her which definitely helped!!

Cupcake: it is so awkward when people are asking about starting a family, particularly if you have been experiencing problems. You might find that your sil is a good support for you now that she knows. Since we got married just over a year ago, people have asked us constantly and when it is people like work colleague or people we don't know that well it really pees me off! I think it is such a personal thing and it is no one else's business. Also if you are having trouble ttc then the last thing you need is other people putting pressure on you.

Fletch: we are planning on ttc asap when the bleeding stops. My oh said yesterday, why don't we wait 6 months but I am 36, will be 37 in November and at the moment we know we can conceive and I would just worry the longer we leave it the more my fertility could be dropping. Also if we want more than one, I think we really need to get on with it

to you all xx

Aw mummy2, you need to talk to him, maybe he just feels that it will upset you having the clothes and not being pregnant. I wanted to buy some clothes the other day and oh said not until after the 12 week scan because it will upset me having them if I mc again.I think men sometimes just want to protect us from any pain but go the worng way about it.

Thanks ladies but me and my oh had the same discussion 3 times over the last few weeks and he keeps doing it. He's at work later and is still in bed at the mo, probably hungover. Sometimes with my oh I have to be quite drastic for him to pay attention, and I will not let myself get upset and worked up like I did last week so I am gonna give him a scare and say I have had enough and give him his engagement ring back. I know it sounds cruel and mean, and I dont really mean it but I have tried talking to him, Ive been in tears, and all he could say to me last night when I wouldnt speak to him was "I only had a few beers with my mates". So he clearly still doesnt get it. He's not acting responsible and he completely didnt care that I had texted him saying I was upset and had bad cramps. Most guys would come running home to their pregnant fiancess if they told them that.

 

[Mummy_2_One]

Thanks girls. I did feel really cut down by it. I should probably explain though that he didn't know I had actually bought something. I just mentioned the idea of getting something while we were out shopping today and he made that comment. Then we went to dinner and the dress was still in a little bag inside my handbag and he found it. He asked me what it was and I just said "something that you obviously think is a stupid idea anyway". He hasn't said anything else about it, but I think maybe he feels bad now? While in the shops I had told him that I was thinking of it as being a step of faith, and that I'm claiming a promise of another baby, even if he or she isn't on the way just yet. I think he's worried I'm getting my hopes up over something that's not going to happen for a long time, and maybe not at all. Still very upsetting though

 

[Mummy_2_One]

Bailey - if drastic is what you need to do to get his attention, I say do it. He's clearly not stepping up the way he should be and he needs to know it's not good enough x

 

[baileybubs]

Aww mummy men sometimes just dont get things the way we do. I can see the man logic about getting hopes up, but I think maybe if you say to him that being pessimistic isnt going to help, you need to stay positive whilst on this crazy ttc train or you will wonder why you are doing it, and that will be a reminder of why, coz one day your little baby will fit into that dress (hopefully not of its a boy though lol)

 

[Mummy_2_One]

Haven't mentioned it again to him yet, but I will, and what you've just said sounds like what I think I want to say Bailey (I just sometimes don't know how to explain why things are important in a way that doesn't make me sound like the crazy wife who buys things for lost/non-existant babies...). So thank you for the comment about being pessimistic xx That will be a good start.

I'm having some weird CM yesterday and today. Think I Od on Thursday, but I really have no idea, and usually I can tell because O day is the last day of bad cramping and the last day of slippery CM (I normally just go dry the following day), but yesterday was watery and today is like (sorry, TMI coming) mucus from your nose - like a globby consistancy ???? I have no idea what's going on. Plus, I'm still having a few twinges here and there today, so I'm not convinced now that I have actually Od?

Does anyone get more CM after O day?

 

[AmyB1978]

My CM would sometimes get like that.... my CM in pregnancy, especially, for some reason, around week 7, got especially like that... I am not super experienced in O type CM and what to look for as I could just always tell when my body was o'ing and so I never really tracked per say.

Hopefully it is a good sign and you catch an egg! (or have!)

 

[baileybubs]

I actually did when I got my BFP mummy2 so you never know! I had crazy cm and about 4-5 dpo too, it deffo didnt go dry at all.

 

[Mummy_2_One]

OOoooo!! Exciting... Well I'll take it all as a good sign so far then. Thanks Bailey and Amy. I remember Cheryl saying too this pregnancy that she was really wet all the time, but I don't think that was until after her BFP. This is super (super!) early.

 

[Mummy_2_One]

Hard to believe that anything could be different to a regular cycle this early on though? If I am pg that is?

 

[baileybubs]

Well as soon as the egg is fertilised you produce more progesterone from the corpus luteum so theres definately reason for changes to happen straight away. FX'd for that fathers day bfp!!!

My oh still isnt up!!!! He's really winding me up now.

 

[CherylC3]

Hey ladies Im I for an hr I've been putting my clients colour on and leaving them to wash it off their self.. So having an easier day managed a roll n bacon and some tea and feel a little better. Cx

Tawn I had sharp pains last wk remember they were waking me up but it was a poop situation... Do u not nd to go?x

Bailey thts rubbish ur oh is being like this u nd to sort him out. Cx

Mummy2one I had tht cm my full 2ww and still getting creamy white cm hoping u get ur BFP Hun..x

Hey anyone I've missed..x

 

[Mummy_2_One]

Great idea about having them wash off themselves Cheryl. Do your clients know you're pregnant? I don't know how I'd feel about telling 'randoms', but gee! It would for sure make life much easier sometimes, wouldn't it!

How are you feeling today MS-wise? Glad you got some food into you. Tea might be easier than water because it's warm xx I agree with Bailey though, you could look into those electrolyte replacing drinks/ice blocks for dehydration to make sure you don't get yourself into trouble.

Well good night girls - I'm heading to the shower then bed for an earlier night tonight. x

 

[baileybubs]

Glad you managed to eat and drink something cheryl, hope your day goes quickly so you can chill out and rest.

I dont know what my oh os doing but its taking him a very long time to get up and dressed, I can hear him moving about and its been over half an hour now!

 

[baileybubs]

Night mummy2!!

 

[Mummy_2_One]

oh, and hi Mrs Duck :wave: and Cupcake :wave:

Chat tomorrow.

 

[CherylC3]

Night mummy. X

Does anyone get more CM after O day?

The day I got my BFP I had loads of snotty mucus. I thought I was o'ing late and did an opk which was neg so did an pregnancy test and got my BFP
