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

[sherylb]

Haha - Sarah don't say we didn't warn you!

 

[babyhopes2323]

Thanks everyone, still very early just 6 weeks today so absolutely worried and going crazy hoping there is a HB and he doesn't say im too early as I was able to see one with Gemma around that time.

Mummy, congrats on lottie getting into your first choice of school and brilliant news about ur business as well ! Sorry about your mc. Lottie is so hilarious !! Very cute.

Ny I really hope you get ur bfp soon, if its any consolation at all, my cycles were 32 - 35 days and I O'd really late around CD22 as well making every month longer but it happened when I was not expecting it. I just bd'd on dates using ovulation calculator online, and some extra days later last month. I was even diagnosed with multicystic ovaries and had an appointment with the fertility specialist. So things can just happen sometimes.. I will keep my fingers crossed for you xxx

Amy, calebs growing up so fast !! His pics are lovely !!! Glad you're keeping well and great news about you hubby.x

Ndh, you are due soon.. Can't wait to see pics xxx

Sarah praying for a hb for both o us, me on Sunday, you Thursday xxx Fx'd

 

[MummyCat]

you guys are worrying me...if this beany makes it mine will be 14 months apart

its ok I can handle it, hubby has one week off every month and works 4 days a week.

ive thrown my back out and going to chiro 3x a week right now, she says its due to pregnancy hormones relaxing everything then carrying car seat must have thrown me off. i didnt have a heavy baby and car seat last time. its been sooooo painful and I feel like such an old mum. when its fixed im so determind to exercise and go regularly for chiro and massage to keep it from happening again.

one week till ultrasound

Don't let it worry you at all. It will be challenging when C hits about 18 months but a friend of mine had a smaller age gap and though she found it tough going at first, now the kids are 4 and almost 3 and they are amazing together and she's pleased she did it that way (she's 41 so wanted the kids close together).

Really... it will all work out ok!

Hope your back feels better soon and not long till scan!

 

[MummyCat]

Thanks Preethi! Will be thinking of you on Sunday! Hope all goes perfectly! x

 

[nypage1981]

Mummy, your school system sounds like fricken Rocket Science! hahaha. Glad you got into the catchment you wanted Do you guys pay for it or is this public?

Sarah, you'll work it out! They'll be close and probalby just hard for the first year then when they 're both walking and playing together you'll be glad to have them. Then you can sit back a bit Can't wait to hear about it! I can say it will all be fine, but really can't imagine it! haha.

Preethi, thats crazy that you were going to see a specialist and then pregnant. You and sarah sort of have similar stories what a coincidence! so nice that you didn't ahve to go through the fertility stuff. Gemma will be a great big sister! how fun.

Flying, Hi! Love calebs pics. He is adorbs. I am also Still breast feeding and bed sharing here too. We are thinking of just putting a mattress down or buying a very low King bed because we don't need the crib set up in our room anymore. He hasn't been in it for a while! We are kinda getting squished though now in our queen bed. Do you still sidecar?

Thanks everyone for the positives. Its so hard right now because its literally like EVERYONE that I journal with this month has been getting pregnant. I am feeling slightly frustrated but you all know how that goes! Doesn't take away that I am happy for everyone though! I just don't know what else to do...I temp, pee on ovulation sticks and get a peak, and we DTD around then. So we are doing it all right, but just not happening. so sickening Hopefully soon!

Kian has been talking up a storm suddenly. All day!

 

[nypage1981]

Oh, preethi and Sheryl, I didn't realize it was so common for women to have O that late, I am hearing a lot of it lately! I thought my cycles were all crazy, but I guess lots of women have long ones. No fun! I want the short ones that seem like in no time I'm ovulating.

 

[babyhopes2323]

And you want shorter cycles so it doesn't feel like ages from the last one.. I did too I still hope they will return to normal later.. Don't take this wrong, but are you thinking of seeing your ob gyn at all soon about it ? I mean I knew it wasn't going o be an easy ride TTC this time for myself and I envisioned a struggle over a year... Things can change sometime meaning our bodies.. I was fine before Gemma and now suddenly after her birth I got told I have immature follicles through a general pcos abdominal scan... I knew I wanted to go to the docs before starting to TTC just to make sure everything was ok and that would mean I wouldn't be hopelessly did every cycle with frustration as the time goes on.. It took my dh a while to agree to go see someone about a SA.. He said we would try naturally till July, we were going to start officially TTC in may. He said he would give it two cycles naturally before he went for an SA and I agreed.. I thought it would save us time and heartache if we were going to really TTC.

It would rule out any problems beforehand.. And I was really all for going to see a doctor. I had some liver happened to go see an endocrinologist who then started asking me about pcos so I got scanned earlier than planned. I was to go see a doc around the same time as my DH . But things were put forward when that doc said I had cysts and it would take time to conceive. We then booked an appointment with a FS ..

Long story short sorry for the ramble but I think it's worth a shot. Please don't take it the wrong way.. Only suggesting it because I think it will save you a lot of time and frustration. FX I'm sure your ok anyway ! Xx

 

[MummyCat]

LOL, Nikki it's not so complicated when you know what's going on! Being schooled in South Africa it's so different to what I grew up with. So I just ask LOTS of questions!

It's public, though we have the option to go private if we wish to. We got a brochure from a private school last week. They take from age 7... their curriculum is AWESOME, but they charge £9000 per year (and it gradually gets more expensive each year!!!) That's a whole lot of money.

Hope things work out for you sweetie! You just need to DTD more often to catch the fertile period, hubby will be delighted!! xxx

 

[MummyCat]

I say that like that's the only reason you're not falling... that's not how I meant it of course... I know that sometimes the body is a beeeeaaaatch and does as it pleases! So hopefully some more nookie will convince it that falling preggers is a good idea!

 

[babyhopes2323]

Update- was spotting brown and had lots of brown discharge etc, but had my scan okay abdominal and doc was surprised that we could see the Flicker.. We saw the heartbeat and all is well for now. Cautiously excited but still not out of the woods. Measurements of CRL and heart rate etc at 8 week scan in two weeks x

 

[sherylb]

What a relief that you saw a flicker!

 

[babyhopes2323]

Tell me bout it !

 

[nypage1981]

Hope it sticks Preethi! Little bean just wants to keep you on your toes!
Got everything crossed for you. Did they put u on progesterone already?

Thanks for the doc suggestion, i undderstand. I'm not sure if its the same everywhere, but here, if you haven't actually tried for a year they don't go into any testing or anything. So I have been charting and temping, etc so in the future I can bring all teh records of me trying hard for this. I am due to go to the doc soon for my women exam so will mention it all probably, but not expecting much!

I am ovulating right now. But we didn't DTD last night so fricka fracka, we missed it again. Its been so stressful and i'm not dealing with it well this round so am contemplating a break, but not sure my psychosis will allow a true break.

 

[babyhopes2323]

Yep I'm on progesterone already but my personal on gym who will be delivering does not truly believe it helps, but believes it probably helps women who've ad recurrent mc's.

My next scan isn't until the 5th so will be anxious till then as usual.

Over here it is a.l insurance based and they do tend to ask how long you've been trying for but they will ot hesitate to test and are more than happy to .. Don't know if its to do with running up insurance costs , they get paid well so I'm guessing that's what it is..

I simply used the online ovulation calculator which told me I'd be fertile from so and so date front he 20 th or whatever through to the 26 th and I bd'd every other day r tried to and even did at the end f the cycle in mere hopes. We weren't trying, officially but I secretly was and dh knew that.

Hope you get yours soon.. I know what you mean., I would've not rested or given up myself.

Do let us know how you get on.. Ovulating late is not the end of it all.. Although I was frustrated with it ! It still works x

 

[NDH]

Nikki just say you've been trying for a year how will they prove you haven't?

Preethi glad you saw a heartbeat despite the spotting.

So I'm 34 weeks and bub has been breech for the past 10 weeks starting to think s/he will never turn so I'm considering acupuncture. I've already been seeing a chiropractor regularly and have been spending lots of time on my hands and knees.

 

[babyhopes2323]

Wow really hope bub turns so you can deliver naturally xx never heard of acupuncture for this.. How does it work ?

 

[Huggles]

ndh, in case i can't get to your journal in time to write this or in case i forget yet again, apparently both reflexology and hypnotherapy have extremely good success rates for turning breech babies, even beyond the 36 week cutoff when they are supposedly unable to turn anymore. I don't know enough about acupuncture to know whether or not that is successful.

 

[sarahincanada]

ndh I was just going to say the same thing...I know a reflexologist who says it works so well to turn babies. hoping for the best for you xxx

ny I told my dr id been trying for 6 months when it was only 3, as I wanted the referral asap, they didnt ask for any proof. so if you wanted to go that route you can go anytime, but Im sure you wont have to.

preethi so excited for you! im on prog also, they said ok to me taking it even though I dont have a history I took it for cieran so why not try to prevent it being low.

2 days till my scan, luckily im so busy I havent thought about it much. not as sick this time (just on and off) so I am keeping open minded until we see if theres a heartbeat or not.

 

[babyhopes2323]

It's tomorrow Sarah ! As per my time. Will be waiting to hear from you xxx most I've patients do too get progesterone support.. Like you did with cieran x so hats great.. Map doc says to maybe stop after 12 weeks since placenta takes over. Don't know if I will be comfortable with that !

 

[NDH]

Hadn't heard of Reflexology working - might give that a try. I read up on the acupuncture method and it seems too out there for dhs and my comfort levels. It doesn't involve any actual acupuncture, just burning a herb near your toe 3 times a day for 10 days
