Lucky thread

[Tawn]

Hmm Cath, I will be interested to see what this afternoon's looks like. I know when I used them, I thought I had a + one afternoon and then the next afternoon was SO +, even darker, so I counted the next day as O. But if that is your +, I am SURE you have a good chance at catching the eggy! PMA hun!

But I know what you mean about thinking that your body needs to recoupoerate a bit. I honestly think that might have been the case with me because I didn't get almost any EWCM the three months after my mc, and my OPKs were a bit wonky. But this last month on month 4 my EWCM came back and my OPKs made a perfect progression, so I think my body was really ready. But since you have had 3 months already because of the MTX, I think you are fully recovered! I see some serious BFPs in the future of this thread!

 

[cathgibbs]

I have hardly any EWCM at all!!! my motto in life has become If its meant to be it will happen, i think you need a motto after having mc's and ectopics etc, we will drive ourselves mad otherwise!!!!

i done one a few minutes ago and it is slightly darker? i think ill txt oh and tell him we are dtd before Asda tonight lol!!! such a passion killer!!!

how you feeling hun how are you symptoms xxx

 

[Tawn]

Hahahah, you could always dtd AT asda make an Asda baby!

I'm good hun, thanks. Mild ms (just lots of nausea/a few gagging incidents particularly if I haven't eaten in a few hours) and lots of mild AF type cramps. My boobs are not at all sore though, which is weird to me?

But I guess my motto is "what will be, will be". I think you are right. We need mottos!

 

[MrsDuck]

Bulgaria will be brilliant cath but a shame you won't be able to drink an asda baby haha that would give you a story to tell when he/she is older x

Tawn that is lovely one big happy family I bet your ss is really happy

No there isn't anyone to walk with me but I'll take my phone so if I run into problems I can phone a taxi or someone, I'll take that sugary drink though good idea x

 

[cathgibbs]

Lol ladies OH will do that but i couldnt - I think i would draw attention to the cubicle and i wouldnt have enough room to put my legs in the air

Tawn the sickness is better than sore boobies hun! sore boobies might come in a few weeks time? ahhhh its all exciting!! did you tell SS after??

Awww MrsD i cant wait i just hope the weather is going to be nice - from looking on line the temperature when we are there will be ranging from 75 - 78?! FX i wont be able to drink out there!!!

Yeh take your mobile hun, have you any lucozade, that'll be best for you, maybe some chocolate too - i know you have some galaxy lying around lol xxx

 

[MrsDuck]

Haha I've got a vision of you staying in the cubicle with your legs in the air now lol

I've always got galaxy you're right, I haven't got lucozade but I'll take some squash with me.

Here is the link to the daily mail website with the man with the worlds biggest willy that was in this morning yesterday lol

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/...-13-5-inches-living-worlds-biggest-penis.html

It gave me a chuckle xxx

 

[Tawn]

HAHHHHAHA, I don't know if I could do it in an Asda either Cath! At least not in my town where I know people or could never return if caught LOL

We are going to tell stepson tomorrow, I think. He was asking again last night at dinner for a little brother or sister, bless him, so I think he will be excited.

The only thing is, I realized that he will no doubt tell his mum and grandparents (his mum's parents) about the baby and I am really uncomfortable with that!? I HATE the idea of them asking me questions or wanting to chat about it (or giving their opinions on it.... UHG) before I've even told my friends and family! How annoying is that!

Cath I really think you will be preggers for your holiday, and will be stuck drinking juice instead of cocktails! Sod's law and all that!

MrsD, I agree with Cath on the sugary drinks. Make sure you don't overdo it hun (I think you have said that is your MO, you get bored and then overdo it. I am exactly the same! Stubborn through and through and then regret it when I am hurting afterwards!)

 

[Tawn]

OMG MrsD that article made me !!!!!!!!!! That sounds PAINFUL though, doesn't it? The vagina is only like 3-7 inches deep depending on arousal!

 

[cathgibbs]

I got accused of stealing from Asda not so long back - i just spent £80 on food etc and i had a £1 nail varnish in the trolly which had rolled under my umbrella and this jobs worth security man stopped me and checked my receipt etc and made me look like an utter tool by saying he will let me off this time but next time he will contact the police LMFAO! I couldnt believe he actually thought i would steal a £1 NAIL VARNISH after spending all that money on food and he is always there when we go to Asda so he would love to catch me doing something wrong and throw me out OH and I always make a BEEP BEEP BEEP noise whenever we walk out of Asda and he just glares at us haha soooo childish!!!

MrsD.....................................13.5 INCHES!?!?!?!?! WWOOOOOOWWWZZAAAAAAAA!! that will hurt!!!! LMFAO im loving the cut outs showing how big he is!!!

MrsD could you work from home with your job?

Ahhhh Tawn i know haha knowing my luck it will be Juice and not Vodka!! i was just looking back on the cycle where i concieved the ectopic, we dtd 3 days before O and then 1 day before O so we might be in with a chance!!

Did you say you got on with SS Mother? I totally understand what you mean about not wanting them to know yet and asking questions etc, I wouldnt know what to do if i were you hun? I would really want to tel him though which i know you do, what does DH say about it? xxx

 

[ShellieLabTek]

Shellie, I really think these things happen at the time when you aren't planning them or it isn't the most convenient. I honestly think that if you and OH just decide to NTNP up to the wedding you will fall pg immediately because it wouldn't be so stressfully tied up in your plan. I felt the same way, I had a deadline to get pg before July so that I could still go to my brother's wedding in April and all that stress was NOT good for me, we didn't get anywhere close! But of course we fell pg as soon as it was NOT perfectly according to my plan (now due a few days before his wedding! ) and I think that is just the way the universe works. But I really believe that you and OH are healthy and will get your rainbow very soon hun!

Tawn you have a way with words with everyone I know what you mean about it'll happen when it's inconvinent. My january bfp was like that. I never thought I was going to get pregnant that month, since we only BD'd once and it was 3 days before O, so I assumed the whole 2ww I had very little hope. All I kept thinking about was how I was going to have my tonsils taken out on February 6th and how I was worried it would affect my fertile time and was convinced I was going to miss out on an entire cycle because of my stupid tonsils. Found a little over a week before surgery I was pregnant, so I had to cancel it. OH joked I got pregnant on purpose to avoid the surgery. I was even thinking about how it happened "inconvienently" yesterday.

I think it's just because angel's EDD is coming up, and it's going to be when I'm on my next period too (mother nature can be very cruel!). It just all makes me feel like I'll never get pregnant again, and never get to give OH someone who's really a part of him (he's adopted so has no blood relatives). I know I have to stop with those thoughts and try and not think about it (at least not focus on it anyway). But i donno how do I focus on ttc this month without thinking about how that whole cycle is leading up to EDD? Perhaps once I'm done with my current AF I'll feel better. AF hasn't even gotten heavy yet, it's been light for 2 and a half days. I want it to get heavy so it'll be over with faster! Have you ever heard anyone wanting their period to get heavier?? Still more then two weeks away from O, boooooo!

Tawn I hope your midwife appt goes well. We have midwives here but women here don't use them as much, i dont know if they are covered by our health plan? I think most people just have the OBGYN. But if i ever get my bfp i might look into them since all you UK girls seem to use them

Cath don't get yourself caught BDing in public places! lol

Mrs D enjoy your walk and take your time

Cupcake hope work gets better for u.

to everybody I've missed!

and sorry I've been so selfish the last few days ladies!

 

[Tawn]

at the BEEP BEEP BEEP part of your asda story Cath! F'ing hilarious! And yes, you DEFINITELY have a massive chance! PMA hun!

Hmmm my relationship with stepson's mum is complicated. It is civil, but awkward because I am now raising her son and despise her for the way she acted as a "mother" but we are cordial for stepson's sake, if that makes sense? I just realized how awkward it would be to talk to them about it before my friends and family! Plus, his grandparents on her side are even worse, they have an opinion about EVERYTHING and are way too over-involved in our lives, so I think it will be more awkward with them.

But I think we have to tell stepson, he is getting worried about me being sick and having all these doctors appts. I think he is starting to think I am ill or something as he asked me the other day if the doctor will tell me I am healthy, bless. I don't want him to worry that I am really sick, if that makes sense? And I can't really hide it when I have been to the doctors and hospital so much lately and am gagging in the sink after breakfast LOL

 

[cathgibbs]

Awww Tawn yeh i think you have to tell him sooner rather than later - the poor little thing is worried for you that is soooooo lovely, most young boys hate their Step mothers dont they? that just shows how much he cares for you!!!! Could you ask him to keep it a secret just until you've had your scan and told everyone? xxx

Oh seriously he just stares at me walking about in Asda haha we can be very childish at times which i think is good as it keeps us young (haha young im only 25 and hes 27!) he jumps out of seat when we go BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP you can see other shoppers laughing at him mwahahahahaha (Evil laugh) cxxx

 

[cathgibbs]

Awwww Tawn your pic is absolutely stunning!!! SS is a very gorgeous looking little boy!! xxx

 

[Tawn]

I know I am so lucky, we make evil stepmum jokes all the time but really we are very close and love each other loads.

Shellie, I think you are so right. The baby will come when it's his/her time, not when it is most convenient for you and your OH, even though we soooo wish differently!

But if you got pg last time on a cycle that you weren't trying quite so hard, I would think that maybe your stress levels might be a factor? I know that doesn't help, because we can't exactly FORCE ourselves to not stress about TTC, but maybe once your mental "deadline" has passed you will be a little more relaxed and get another surprise bfp! I hope so hun! I know that once my deadline was up and I was like "ummmm I am unsure whether we should try so hard because we will miss my brother's wedding--let's just see what happens" and just had fun dtd, it seemed so much easier, if that makes sense?

And yes, we only use midwives here in the UK. It is really strange to me too, because I am from the States and really loved my OBGYN (she was LOVELY) and would have loved to have her to go through this experience with, but I am hoping I like my midwife today just as much! You only get to see a gynecologist if you are referred for a special circumstance here--you even have a nurse do your pap smears!

 

[Tawn]

Awwww Tawn your pic is absolutely stunning!!! SS is a very gorgeous looking little boy!! xxx

Aww thanks! That was taken last bonfire night, hence why we are all so bundled up!

I know, isn't he gorgeous! If he could just learn to be a bit nicer/kinder to his peers (he struggles due to his ADHD and very slight autism to relate to his peers--plus his mum's parenting style didn't really help!), I think we have to worry about a serious heartbreaker on our hands! I talk to him all the time about it, and he is so cute he wants to fall in love like me and Daddy and get married and have babies some day! How cute is that!

 

[baileybubs]

Hi ladies,

I think I overestimated how long I could really spend away from you all, I missed you all and I just popped on to check you are ok but so desperately wanted to comment that I couldnt stay away.

Thanks for all the lovely comments, I know that I went a bit crazy and freaked out too much but I think my work has had a lot to do with it. I have had a sit down with my boss and a chat and they are going to try to avoid me doing night shifts and they wont be asking me to do any extra shifts. On Tuesday morning, after my freak out and day off sick Monday they phoned me asking me to do a night shift again and it just continued my stress that I felt they didnt care coz they keep asking me to do them.
Plus I'm almost 11 weeks so its almost d day on when I lost my angel, my scan is coming up and my original EDD is also coming up this month.

But, I have removed my head from my bum and searched for my PMA and I am feeling much brighter and positive. All I can do is keep going and hope for the best, all that crying and stressing wouldnt change anything but I just couldnt shake it. I really am sooooo happy to be pregnant and so lucky to have been given another chance to be a mother and I am really grateful for that, and if this little hobbit isnt meant to be either then thats just something I will have to deal with when it comes. So no more being all whingey and selfish and making sure I am here to support you ladies as much as you have supported me.

Right, so now on with how everyone else is doing!

Shellie - I'm so sorry AF arrived. And I agree with the other ladies, I think that your rainbow BFP will arrive just when you least expect it or when most inconvenient. I dont think that you or your df have any problems hun, I bet your BFP will come next month just in time for your wedding hun.

Maryanne - Yay for AF leaving the building, hope you O soon and get that rainbow BFP.

Cath - yay for the scan looking good and no infection!! What are the antibiotocs for? Sorry if you said or dont wanna say!! Are the opks getting any lighter yet?

Mrs d - I hope you are ok on your walk hun. Did the zovirax help the cold sore?

Cupcake - have you O'd yet hun? Whats the plans for your birthday hun? I am the same as you with my job. Do you get decent maternity pay at your job, because if you dont I would just look for something else hun if you are so unhappy. I wish I had something else and I swore when I had my mc that I was finding another job, but I didnt and now wish I had coz I am struggling now I am pg again. My oh always says to me that we will always manage somehow no matter what happens with jobs and stuff, he's right coz even when I was off sick after mc for a month we coped.

Shelby - glad that your scan went ok hun, sorry they couldnt tell you if you are pg yet? Cramps are definately a good sign hun!! When are you testing?

Fletch - being tired and snappy are deffo good signs hun!!

Thurl - did you get paralympics tickets?

Mummy2 - any sign of AF or a BFP yet? I really hope its a BFP!!! Fxd for you

Tawn - awww that is so lovely about your ss taking your family name. And yeah I think telling ss would be good if he's worried about you, bless him!

Cheryl - hope the ms is easing up a little, how are you feeling today?

Poppy - hows it going back at school? Hope you are well.

ttcbabyisom - how are you feeling now hun? I hope you are ok.

I hope I didnt miss anyone!! I tried to remember as much as I can!

 

[baileybubs]

Awww Tawn you ss sounds such a sweetie!

[baileybubs]

Glad you had a good holiday bump, strange letter from the doctors confirming pregnancy??

 

[cathgibbs]

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh i just wrote a massive bloody essay and BnB deleted it!!!!

Shelly it will happen for you hun when you least expect it and when your less stressed, you have got so much coming up soon your mind will soon be taken over by planning the wedding/ xmas etc it will happen and you wont even realise till your about 6 weeks pregnant, think how quick time will go then!! Us POAS addicts find out at 3wks 4 days lol

Bailey YAY!! i was going to message you on FB today to see how you were! glad your feeling a bit better hun and you have managed to find some PMA - i can totally understand why your freaking out as its approaching D Day - i dont know what to say to you to make you feel better as i know ill be the same when i get to 6 weeks but i can gaurantee you when you go for your scan you will see a baby - heartbeat ticking away perfectly!!!!!

Tawn - Hes gorgeous hun! you and DH must be so proud of him!!! is he on any medication? I bet when his little brother / sister comes along his condition will improve!!

Bailey i got slight BV my PH is 4.5 which is on the borderline for good i think its 2.5 and 4.5 but i often get it cause i have a bath everyday with bath salts and bubble bath! Im on Metronizodol so cant drink which is good as im not smoking so drinking would def make me smoke more!!

For those of you who are POAS addicts or line spotters - these are todays OPKs - i know im back to my irritating ways but as we DTD on Wed would you class that as 2 days before O? xxx



The first test is at 9am second is from 11am and the last is from 10 mins ago xxx
