Mid-August Testers

Hmmm, well it certainly looks like you might of done, but hard to tell on temps alone...have you had any other signs? EWCM? ov cramps? etc. I do think if you have and you BD'd monday as well, then you will be fine, you have just as much a shot! Who knows, hubby's swimmers could be wiggling their way in right now!

Keep us updated on tomorrow's temp!
 
Hey ladies, sorry I've not been on too much this week. New house admin and stress have been taking up way too much time!

Snow - worry not. I'm another one that had just one shot. We only dtd once that month - and had no clue I had ovulated, so completely lucky! The no stress approach worked for a lot of us!

Great news on the classes Hands and Bex. Mine start on Wednesday. It makes baby day seem very close!!

Hands - lovely bump pic ! I look huge in comparison to you. I'm going o need scaffolding soon to hold my bump up!

Be -any news?

CH - fingers crossed for Friday.

Lisette - hiya! I will do a bump pic soon. I haven't figured out how to add photos on the iPad or iPhone yet xx
 
Nic - i cant add photos from my ipad either, I always have to email them to myself and upload at work instead! Annoying! if you find a way then let me know!
 
Thats what I normally do too! I'm not very techie though so there probably is a way and it's probably pretty obvious too! :)
 
Hi Girlies,

Well nothing happening with me yet I am afraid still just waiting booo baby booo.

Snow - It does look like you o'd on Monday but I think that would be ok, just means you would get a little boy. Although it could just be the clomid doing strange things to your body so I guess you will have to see what happens tomorrow. I am another that only Bd'd once at the right time because DH was away in Belgium seeing his brother the weekend I o'd.

Lisette - Great choice on the buggy. I was so torn between the bee and the cameleon when I got mine but I decided the bee was better for me, I definitely wanted a bugaboo though. And I got the missoni covers which are fab I love them.

CH - Fx'd you get an app for Friday and I hope this doctor is better than the last numpty you had.

Hands - Great that you got into a class and it is nice that you got to go together since DH isn't getting to be there for the birth.

Bex and Nic - I really liked the NCT class my teacher was really good she knew so much and really put my mind at ease about things. The 3 things I took out of it for the birth are I want delayed clamping, I don't want the injection to get the placenta out and I would rather have an epidural than Diamorphine. We have been meeting up with our class every Thursday night for dinner which is nice. I also did the NHS class which I found pretty useless but it got me out of work lol and I meet up with the girls from that on Thursday's for coffee and cake so it is nice to have so many people having babies around the same time.
 
12 days Bea?! Where did that go?! I hope you are keeping well and the sun is shining for you. It's very bright down here in London, but I haven't ventured out yet so it's probably freeezing!

Girls - I'm so lurgified atm. We ended up seeing the emergency GP at the hospital last night as my chest infection is nowhere near better. I still have a day and a half of the amoxicillin, but the GP listened to my chest and he said he can still hear the infection. (The last GP couldn't hear a thing :shrug:) so I have double the strength of a different drug to start on today. He also gave me to extra, stronger asthma pumps and painkillers for the rib pain. Feel so useless and this would have been an ideal time to paint and DIY.

CH - Good luck for your appointments if they are today. I can't remember if that's what you managed to book with the new dr.

Everyone else - have a lovely weekend. Any plans? xx

No appointment today. Lots of doctors closed for Good Friday but do have an appointment for Wednesday afternoon with a new urologist. Spoke with the nurse yesterday and it seems as though this doctor will definitely work with us! Fingers crossed!
 
CH -- good luck!!!

Lisette - 6 more days!!!

Nic - you and pip are beautiful!!! I'm sorry to hear that your infection isn't any better. I pray that it will soon!

Bea - I'm so excited for you. I can't wait till your little girl is born. Do you feel ready?
 
Hey ladies. Hope all is well and you're having a great weekend!
 
CH - So happy that you got an appt and it's not that far away!

Nic - Nice bump pic!! Looking good girl! I really hope you are feeling better!

Mrs Bea - Maybe you'll have an Easter baby tomorrow!!

Hands - How is hubby doing with is weight loss?

Lisette - Not much more time for you for the scan!! Getting excited!!

Bex - Hooray for classes!

AFM, I'm now waiting to OV. I think before was just a false alarm! Prolly just the Clomid messing with my temps. :dohh: Well, I got what looked like a positive OPK yesterday but todays is def negative. I got a temp drop today so I am hoping that I OV today and tomorrow's temp confirms it. I'm sick of being confused about this. :wacko:

Easter tomorrow! I finally figured out a menu and went grocery shopping yesterday. My Grandparents and Uncle will be coming over so that will be nice. Hope everyone has a nice holiday! :bunny:
 
snow - keep us posted on the ovulation

As far as hubby goes.... i believe he's on a weight stand still.... he's lost 14lbs and needs to lose about 4 more, but i guess that will have to be done slowly.
 
Hey ladies :wave:

How was everyone's long Easter weekend? Would love to hear about the festivities...pretty quiet for me, the stress of my crazy week had me sleeping in a lot and just being a lazy bum! Did me good though and today took some fun bump pic's to add to the gorgeous ones you guys have posted!!!

Bea and Bex you owe us a few ;)

CH & Snow lots of prayers and love your way girls :hugs:

Looking good Lisette!! Love the pics!! Only 4 days!! I'm going to guess BOY!!!!! :blue:

Hands - Way to go hubby!! I hate those stubborn last few pds. I know he can do it! :thumbup:

AFM, I tossed the IC OPK's to the waste-side and used my 1st response OPK yesterday bc I was so confused as to why I got that + the other day but my temp still hadn't risen. Got a blaring positive and my temp rose today so I finally OV'd!! Hooray @ 1dpo today!! Easter bunny brought me my egg yesterday!! haha!! I am such a dork!! :haha:

I enjoyed hosting Easter and my company yesterday. Had a great Easter!! And if I do say so myself - my dinner was freaking yummmmmmyyyy!!
 
Hey girls. We went to church for easter. Our church does this huge community outreach thing on Easter... it was okay. I hide eggs for hubby every year (next year though i will have a 9 month old and hubby will be left out LOL)

Nice bump pic Lisette!!! I can't decide what my guess is. Boy.. Girl... i hope it's one of the two!!!

Snow - Congrats on Ovulating!!! sounds like the Clomid is working.
 
Hello all

I had a lovely Easter weekend - I was up in York with my family so had a nice time! Lots of chocolate!

Lisette - what great pictures! You have no end of baby related t-shirts! Can't belive its gender scan time for you this week already! Time really does fly! My guess is GIRL!

Snow - what did you cook in the end for your dinner? And wooop woop woop for ov!!!! Did you get lots of BDing in? Here's to another TWW!

CH - good luck with the urologist tomorrow!

Hands - glad you had a nice Easter - will definitely be different next year when you ahve a little one!

Bea - I'm expecting news any day now!

Nic - hope you had a lovely Easter too!
 
Hey!

Lisette I'm going to say girl (on the shape of your bump) though I am rubbish at guessing! :) You do look fab on being pregnant so according to old wives tales it's probably a boy!! Like Hands said. As long as it's one of them! :)

So I had my 32 week appt. All bp and measurements were good and I got the mw to have a feel around to see if she could tell me how Pip is lying. We are head down (yay!) apparently quite low down (mw was a bit surprised - but said it might be because I am still very active, and it might still move out) and still lying towards my left hand side shoulder out in a crescent moon shape. This is why I feel movements everywhere but mostly on my right towards my ribs. My funny shape bump is because of Pip's shoulders and because Pip likes to bring its legs in towards it's chest. Also she has had a squidge of Pip and it doesn't feel like we have a very big baby. The other thing we discussed was the prospect of me going in to labour prematurely. As I've mentioned before my Mum went in to labour early. Rather than dismissing this or reassuring me that this probably won't happen (as everyone else does) the mw seemed quite open to the idea that it might. She wants me to take my notes with me everywhere from now on, especially when I'm at work. She also wants me to look at doing my birth plan in the next week or two, and reminded me that the policy would be for me to go to the labour ward if I go in before 37 weeks. Really hoping that Pip is comfy enough until at least that point so I get to go to the birthing centre instead!

Bex - do you have an appointment this week, or is it just Lisette and I?

CH - Fingers crossed for tomorrow. What are you hoping they will do or say?

Bea - Any news? You're keeping us in suspenders! ;)

Hands - You've been awfully quiet too. Are you enjoying having hubby home?

Snow - Whoop, whoop for the TWW. With the Clomid do you have an idea what we should be looking out for on your chart?
 
Nic - Glad to hear you have everything in order in case Pip comes early. And wonderful news that Pip moved to head down! Do you have any plans for our B-day this week?

CH - Have a great appt tomorrow. Make sure to check in and let us know how you like this Dr. and what your plan of action is.

Bex - Mmm Chocolate. Sounds like a perfect Easter!

Lisette - Are you able to sleep at all? I know I wouldn't be able to!

Hands - Hooray for 9 month old next Easter!

Bea - Any happy news yet?

AFM, FF gave me cross hairs today when I put in my temp in. I was totally not expecting it at all. I am pretty sure that I OV'd on Sunday. I don't know what to think at this point. We got all our BDing bases covered for either day so I'm not worried about that. I just kinda thought the Clomid would make my temp raise more and I thought that I wouldn't get my fall back like I had today. I am kinda disappointed to tell you the truth. Also, bc I am unsure of which day I OV'd - I am unsure when to start the progesterone. I'm supposed to @ 3dpo - which according to FF it would be today but according to my gut feeling that would be tomorrow. I don't know. Alls I do know is that I do feel out already.

I'm getting more and more sad that my 1 year TTC mark and what would be due date are creeping up quite fast. I never thought it would take this long. And that I would be having these problems. I've had to give up on my dreams of holding a child by the holidays this year. If I miraculously get PG this cycle my due date would be around New Years. I don't know. I am getting too discouraged and feel like it's going to be a miracle for me to even get pregnant let alone be stay pregnant long enough to be able to hold my baby. Today I just feel like giving up.
 
Snow --- aawwww :( Chin up sweetie. Don't lose hope, that's all we have sometimes. I can't even begin to feel what you have been through with a loss and then such difficulties afterwards. You are a very strong woman. Remember it is in his hands and just keep trucking away. It will happen... it's the when part that is unknown.

CH - keep us posted!!!!

Nic - Jealous! I wish dexter wasn't breeched. I'm hoping he'll be head down at our next appointment. Not that i want you to deliver too early, but i'm so excited to hear beas and your birth stories. It might make me feel better about going into it myself. Did you decide what pain meds if any that you are taking? I decided to go for a natural birth.

Bea - How are you feeling?

Lisette - I'm still so torn inbetween. From the beginning i thought maybe you were carrying a girl, but your lastest bump pictures look more like a boy... ARG!!! I'm so confused. I'll say Girl, but hope for Boy so poor Dexter won't be surrounded LOL

Bex - Are you in maternity clothes yet? Is your bump starting to show?
 
Snow I feel your pain we hit the year mark in March. If you need anything let me know. It all is very frustrating!!!!

Lisette- I am going to go on a limb and guess girl?!?

Hey there BEX, Bea, hands, and Nic!:)

I will update y'all tomorrow evening. Appointment is tomorrow after work!:)
