get something in there... can't hurt right?
Nothing sounded good this morning so I had some french bread with butter... YUMMM... then I started eating a blueberry scone and it was just not that good to me even though I normally love them..?

 

[new_to_ttc]

Funny how so much can change so quickly!

Last years was The Darling Buds Of May, i saw it somewhere in a signature!

OH suggested the Iron Maydens

He also said Dr Spock was from Star Trek, not that child rearing expert!

I'll see if we get any more suggestions and then i'll whack a poll up.

I didn't think May poles was phallic at all until you said lisa!

He most definitely IS a childcare expert!
I'm not sure the Spock from Star Trek was ever a Dr........

I think we'd have to be the Iron Maytrons as maidens are unwed girls... and married or not, being knocked up makes you a matron in my book

Maybe we can play on the May Day thing... May Day.. mayday, lol

 

[lisaf]

Mayflowers when written all as one word makes me giggle for the whole Puritans thing, but that may be a bit too American for the UK girls here..

The mayonaises

Wow so many pages to catch up on!!

I got my sickness meds, something called reglan, hopefully it works! Apparently I'm 5 weeks too but I know I ovulated later so will stay here

Anyhoo medical system here is really complicated I went to go get my hcg test and progesterone but apparently they dont do that at the gp, so have to go ob/gyn and they not available till 14th sept

In the uk I have a scan at 6 weeks (previous fallopian tube surgery) to check for ectopic, so dont know whether to wait or camp out there And we pay $800 a month for this health insurance

meow, I'm sorry you feel so worried, new-to-ttc covered it perfectly, its hard but each and every pregnancy is a blessing and enjoy each day at a time

Lisa how was your broccoli soup?

 

[lisaf]

Lol, it was ok, but I lost interest in the bread and butter I got to go with it

Thats just silly that your gp wouldn't order a blood test for you! In my experience the OB/GYN just fills out paper and sends you off to a lab anyway so there's no reason the GP couldn't fill out the form for you. Heck, I used to have my GP do my annual pelvic exams before I started TTC.

You should have no trouble getting an early scan. I know my GYN's office had you schedule it as soon as the pregnancy was confirmed.
I'm guessing your GP didn't want to step in and start a process that your OB/GYN will have to finish.. must confuse them or something... of course mine are all part of the same medical group so maybe that helps me.
I would think you should get the progesterone test done ASAP if you have progesterone issues..

Oh wait... will you be almost 8 weeks when you get to see the GYN? If so, then I suggest calling and also scheduling your scan for a few days later now!

 

[lisaf]

Oh, and don't be afraid to be pushy... lol..

 

[lisaf]

ooh, how about
Mayjor Mommas? or something with the word major spelled mayjor...

 

[mummy3]

I can be pushy

All mine are in the same medical group, they apparently don't talk tho

Can't stomach any veg, but targets frozen fruit is pretty good.

I was looking out all my tiny babygros earlier, sooo exciting Anja was only 4lb when we took her home!

 

[lisaf]

Yep pushy seems to work with many doctors... nice but super persistant and annoying! I always would say 'I'm so sorry to bother you with this again, but I'm just going crazy and can you tell me if my lab results are in yet'

 

[CaseyBaby718]

I dont think Iron Maydens would be very good.

An Iron Maiden is a medieval torture device usually used for witches. It was a coffin type thing with spikes surrounding the whole thing, and when it was closed BAM!

But you guys like it because of the band, that's cool too.

 

[mummy3]

Ok at the risk of sounding uncool, who are the iron maiden band?

The torture device doesn't sound too pleasant, they had some strange ideas in the past

I'm intrigued by the maypoles

new_to_ttc ... My acupuncturist gave me a recipe to help with morning sickness. She says to make your own ginger tea. Buy a ginger root, peel it, chop into chunks and boil in enough water for about 5 cups of tea total then strain out the ginger and reheat as needed through the day. She swears by it so I thought I'd pass it on... let us know if you try it!

 

[new_to_ttc]

Oh Lisa ty ty ty ... I bought some ginger tea... yours sounds far more enjoyable lol ALTHOUGH I walked passed Subway today and it smelt sooooo good - I had a sandwich woop woop (then dash to bathroom ) I forgot I was being icky, because Im just avoiding food so I dont feel bllurrghhhhhhhhhhh all day so I had the sandwich and all too quickly was reminded it wasnt such a great idea lol.. least it smelt nice

I love Mayhem lol Mini Mayhems... thats coooool lol

How is everyone today? Mummy hope your gynae see's you soon! I agree that you should get on your phone and pester and make sure they know who you are and what you want!!

Scary - just as this little one is beginning its little journey, my other one is starting to try the big world on his own. He has started going to friends houses and the park with friends now (with no mummys!! arghh) and today I bought him his first mobile phone!!! He is only 100ft away from me rofl but arghhhh too far!!!

Is anyone here paranoid about having sex? Sorry if this is tmi... me and dp we having some fun earlier, but I got all worried incase he went in too far or something and dusturbed everything. Afterwards I had a little bit of cramping, but nothing significant I think it was more because it was on my mind, and its completely eased now.

 

[lisaf]

I'm too afraid to have sex tbh!!! What if my cervix is too sensitive and the sex makes me spot a little... I'll PANIC!!! I read a thread on that kind of thing earlier and someone said their nurse told them to 'keep stuff out of there' until her appointment..?
DH and I burned out so bad on TTC that we tended to wait to have sex until I was fertile then take the rest of the time off, so we're not 'hurting' too bad.

I bet the freshly made ginger tea will have a stronger effect than the pre-packaged stuff, but if even the packaged stuff is helping, then GOOD!
Does it make you feel better at all that you got to eat even if you had to lose it?

I've been having a hard time dealing with some smells... I did actually throw up this morning when dishing out the cat's wet food... hadn't eaten yet though. I am now having a dog poop emergency at work... got it on my shoes, the carpet under my desk, took care of all that and managed to avoid getting sick... but I just checked and its all over my car floor mat.... I just can't face that... so I'm calling a car detailing guy to come out and wash my mats

I have just laughed so loud at the suggestion of the Iron Maydens - 1 of my favourite bands but so fabulously inappropriate! I love the name May Blossoms!

I've got my first Dr's appointment on Monday, so feeling a little nervous - this is my 1st baby.

I've just told my Mum, Dad & Sister (who are under strict instructions that they've now signed into the official secrets act - lol) and they are so happy!

I am absolutely whacked from a crazy day at work though, so I think I will be on a very early night tonight - AGAIN!

 

[lisaf]

I'm so afraid to tell anyone... even someone I woudln't mind sharing the early news with, I'm just so afraid they're going to accidentally blab to someone we want to wait to tell!!! I dont' feel like I can tell my MIL until we see the hb... so I can't tell my SIL cuz she'll blab... I can't tell my pregnant friend because she may be a bit distracted/forgetful and say something in front of someone who knows my SIL etc... I'm a little paranoid!

As much as I don't want to tell MIL too soon, I'm more afraid someone else will blab to her! (she wants another grandchild SOOOOO badly I can't bear to disappoint her!)
