ok so who wants to get pregnant in 2011? (closed group)

[Huggles]

yea, i was on it for about 3.5 years. Had my last shot end dec 2008. Should have had the next one march 2009 but never went. AF only returned in sept 09. Fell pg new years 2009/2010.
It worked pretty well for me, i never really had any problems on it. I had to use it as i was on epilepsy meds at the time and they counteract contraceptive pill so that would have been useless. So depo was my only real option which suited me fine as it was really cheap and i only had to remember to get it once every 3 months.

I was on it for a little more than 4 years. I have heard some really terrible stories of problems conceiving after depo so I am glad we are both success stories.

I was NTNP for a year with a loss in 09, then actively TTC for another year. So I would say 2 years for me.

I was on depo years ago, for about 2 years I got it, but then was off it for around 3-4 years before we started TTC so I don't really count it as affecting me by then! It took me a good year to have regular cycles back after stopping depo tho!!!

But anyway, we were NTNP for maybe 6 months or so before actively TTC. We tried going purely by dates and CM for 2 months, and then I started temping, and on the 4th cycle of actively TTC we got our BFP... It felt like forever though! lol.

It all sounds positive for you Sarah! GOOD LUCK!





Guess what!!!! I'm feeling MOVEMENT!!!!!!! omg! It's definite flutters with the odd kick. Only veeeeeeeery sporadic, but it's been three times now I've felt it that it was definitely NOT hunger rumbles or anything but weird wee flutters....

 

[Huggles]

oh wow that's awesome flying!

sarah, i was never on the pill or any kind of contraceptive even before the wedding, we only used condoms in the first two and half months of knowing each other,. after the wedding in dec 09, i tried the pill for literally three days and threw up, it didnt suit me, so i cant say i was on the pill. basically from jan 2010, we started Bding like the way you are supposed to when you try, but i never checked my cycles or temp or ewcm or anything, just bd whenever we felt like it, and then by september i started getting so frustrated because it had been 6 months and no luck plus we were normal and healthy. so i started getting checked etc, mind you all this time, we were on and off on holidays to different countries etc . and then when i came back from italy in jan, i was admitted with food poisoning again , i was quite ill in 2010. and then next month, got my bfp. feb 2011 . i would say a whole year, but dh thinks we started seriously only after sept.

sorry for the long story, but i was trying to remind myself ! mind you in this whole ttcing process, weve had such a bumpy tough ride, and i forced dh to get tested in january like he had promised and by the time we got the results, i didnt know i had conceived already.


FX'd you dont take too long and good luck with the BDing !!!

Flying !! thats awesome news. im so happy for you !!!

by the way ladies, are any of you planning on going to prenatal classes|?

dh has totally agreed to come with me so im very glad, but here its around 25 weeks that they recommend starting, so im going to be starting by the 18th of july, for one month, once a week for two hours in the evenings at the dubai london clinic, classes are taken by this midwife louise. and they do charge you 1200/- dhs, it is for a whole month, basically four classes , two hours each.

any of you planning on going for anything as such|?

 

[Huggles]

i haven't decided yet for this pg, but i suspect we will.
Last time we went, but only got to two classes and then my waters broke and jarrod was born, so we never finished the course. Which is why i suspect we'll go again - to finish the course.
I think ours was 6 classes, but i can't quite remember, also about 2 hours each time. I think it's really good to go, especially with your first. I'm just hesitant as i don't feel like explaining myself if people ask if this is my first baby/pg as it's not really, but i don't have a baby at home.

 

[flyingduster]

We intend to do classes... which reminds me that I need to sort those out soon!!!

 

[nypage1981]

I thought classes were worthless back then so can't imagine now with the information so freely on the internet that they would be much more helpful. Maybe you guys will feel differently.

I'm c section so don't hafta do any of that anywa! Woohoo!

 

[sarahincanada]

hi everyone!

just popping on to say hi before Im knowing to work out then tidy up the house. not sure if I will get a smiley face today or if it will be CD16 again...my temps are practically the same as last month so we will see. probably going to just BD every night anyway as we are enjoying it

thanks for all the info on how long you were TTC, so we have some long timers and then some short timers too! I really have to think that I am starting again, I probably wasnt going to get pregnant with my polyp so I have only had 1 cycle. Its just annoying when you know you BD'd at the exact right time and nothing. you think how is this month going to be any different, but one month will be.

dew how was your trip?? I look back and you havent updated your temps so wondering where you are in your cycle.

The classes aren't only for natural birth - they're not like the movies show, all about the breathing etc. Not here at least. Here there is like one session when they explain natural birth (thankfully that's the one i did make it to!), and i think one where they talk about c-sections and epidurals and stuff. And the others are about how to care for your newborn - cleaning the cord, changing nappies, breastfeeding, etc. That's the bit i would like to go for. Not for me so much as i already know most of it (worked in a daycare centre for 7 years and have looked after various babies etc through my life), but i want to go for dh so that he can learn those things as i think it would be really good for him.

[NDH]

Wow there's a lot to catch up on - I haven't been on here properly in a while!

Happy scan day Flying - not long now!

This will just be a short post as everything I read is pretty much gone from my head already, but I hope all is well with everyone. Sarah, any sign of ov yet? I'm cheering you and Dew on!

 

[Huggles]

thanks sarah. Will probably only be able to update you when i get home on tues afternoon (your tues morning) as i doubt there is free wifi at the hospital and my phone's internet is so rubbish it's impossible to get onto bnb.

 

[sherylb]

Waiting to hear from flying....

 

[NDH]

Oh yes - congrats Huggles on a boy!

 

[flyingduster]

lol!!! I'm home, I'm going to have to get hubby to wrangle the dvd onto youtube though! lol. But yup, all is well, bub is growing and looking good. Wasn't wriggling as much today, just little leg & hand movements really, not the squirming all over the place like last time!!! Also my placenta is right across the front of my uterus, which is why it's taking so long to feel anything; it's buffering any feelings still!!

But anyway, very very cool. So happy!!!

Didn't really get any good pics though, I got some, but none are very good... It wasn't co-operating! lol We stuck to our word and didn't find out the gender though. Goooo team yellow!


Will sort pics & video soon.
