New Year 2012 babies

[schoolteacher]

So sorry your having a bad day rivetkitten! What happened at the meal? (you dont have to say!) xx

 

[Rivetkitten]

It was a celebratory meal. It was SIL's birthday and the IL's 35th wedding anniversary...but also SIL is pregnant... so that became the soul focus of the meal. How wonderful it was to be welcoming a new life into the family. Then my MIL got hooked on this idea that SIL was having a girl and went on and on and on about it. After which SIL asked if she could take all our baby clothes now. When we ummed and ahhed she started laughing and saying "Or are you planning on keeping them for something else... waiting a bit long aren't you." so we told her that they were in the garage and we just needed to get over there and sort through them. She said that FIL is coming to see her in June, we can give them to him.

So I've got to go sort through baby clothes, and give them all away by June. Total confirmation that we're not getting pregnant even though EVERYTHING says we so should have gotten pregnant this month.

But lets celebrate how wonderful SIL's life is... and she knows it too.

Hi everyone, how are you all? x

 

[Scamp]

hi! may i join all of you!

this post made me smile, and i needed that. we have been trying since march 2010! and still no BFP.

i thought last cycle was it, but NO.

but that would be so cool to have a new year 2012 baby!

baby dust to EVERYONE!

:wave: x

Oh that sound horrible Rivetkitten! why do you have to give the clothes away?? You shouldn't feel like you have to!!! thats not fair at all. Im guessing then they dont know you are ttc? is it worth telling them, maybe they would act differently? I really feel for you.
When/if I get pregnant I will gratefully accept offers of clothes from people but I certainly wouldnt ask or demand any! Sounds like your SIL thinks she is the only pregnant woman in the world!
(she defo isnt they are flippin well everywhere lol!!!)

Hi scamp! Im fine, I cd13 and today I made my first appointment to start acupuncture!how ru more to the point!?x

Rivetkitten - that sucks! I think other people, such as family members, find secondary infertility hard to get their heads round - "oh you did it fine once what's the problem this time"!!! None of my family know we're trying again and it's really hard trying to justify why you're not giving away baby things.

 

[Rivetkitten]

(she defo isnt they are flippin well everywhere lol!!!)

I so get that comment.

Jfor3. I think that's been the hardest. They don't know we are trying. We just can't justify giving the clothes away. Plus I have to go through them because some of them are my sister's clothes and I won't be giving them to her, no matter how "pretty" she thinks they are. I really hope she has a boy.

 

[jfor3]

Rivetkitten - I'd pretend a lot more were your sisters than were yours so she couldn't have them - possibly a bit mean but essential I'd say!! By the look of your ticker you're testing really soon anyway so fx you'll have a brilliant reason she can't have them.

How's everyone else getting on? I'm only on cd12 so am still waiting to ov.

 

[schoolteacher]

cd14 -no ov yet, next few days hopefully but could be more!

 

[McMummy]

RivetKitten - Don't give your SIL clothes!! how rude of her to ask/demand.
It's neither here not there whether you are TTC or not, it's not for any of your In Laws to make assumptions that they are entitled to anything.

I am sure we'll all get offers of hand me downs when we finally get our s which is great but am sure none of us would just ASSUME we can help ourselves. Grrrrrr xxx

 

[1hopefull]

rivetkitten- OMG, tell me where your SIL lives and I will go punch her (it is OK for a preggo lady to punch a preggo lady right, so I am perfect for the job). I hope she has a boy. If not, tell her the garage flooded or tell her something not so nice. Sorry you had to go through that dinner AND have to deal with her demands.

hope everyone else is doing OK.

 

[Rivetkitten]

Unfortunately I feel very un-pregnant and all tests have been BFN's so far. I'm pretty sure I'm out this month too. I don't know how to get out of not giving them our baby clothes other than getting pregnant. That's not happening and we don't know why...

 

[McMummy]

It doesn't matter whether you are pregnant or not! You don't HAVE to give anyone anything. Please don't feel pushed into handing over baby clothes

 

[Kimbre]

thats BS rivetkitten! screw her for even assuming that youd give them to her. RUDE. just dont give them to her and if she hounds you. tell her that you may want another, yu dont have to do anything you dont want to!

 

[ao30]

Rivetkitten... so sorry all of this is happening. Sometimes people don't understand how rude/hurtful they can be. So bizarre that these people are demanding you hand things over to them.

Hello schoolteacher and jfor3! What CD are you ladies? I am CD15, and still no signs of OV. Booh. However, I have been sick (that's why I've been missing in action the last week or two); hopefully that's the reason I haven't ovulated yet. I was hoping that this cycle would be a shorter one, but unless I ovulate tomorrow, it doesn't look favorable.

 

[schoolteacher]

Yay your back ao30! I missed you! well I'm cd15 and got a positive opk today!! this is quite early for me. usually ov cd20 ish! have been cd31 before! If im stressed or ill (like last cycle) then I will ov later. Im guessing because I have been on easter holidays I have been less stressed and have ov'ed at a more 'regular' time this time!
Sorry your still waiting and that you've been poorly! I hope you are feeling much better now?x

 

[Rivetkitten]

schoolteacher It's a good sign.

I did an OPK today because a BFN on an OPK is far less heartbreaking than a BFN on an HPT... It was exactly the same as it was just before I ovulate. It's kinda weird. :: I hate how it got me excited. I'm not testing with a HPT yet though. Maybe tomorrow. I'll be 12 dpo then. I hate how it made me hopeful.

 

[ao30]

Schoolteacher: yay! Get busy I hope I ovulate sometime soooon so that we go through the 2WW together again.

Rivetkitten: AHHH! I know it's not final but that is wonderful news. I truly hope you get that BFP so that you can sweetly tell your inlaw's "sorry, looks like we're going to need those baby clothes after all..."

 

[jfor3]

ao30 - glad to have you back, you've been missed! Hoping ov comes soon for you.

schoolteacher - it must be great to have a positive opk - get to it (so to speak)!

Rivetkitten - I've got my fx for you, keep us posted.

I'm cd 13 but no signs of ov yet - I hope it's not too late I only had an 8 day luteal phase last month so need to ov a bit earlier this cycle!!
