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

[sarahincanada]

hi everyone! just popping in to say hi before I pop to the hairdresser.

preethi soooo great to see you larger!! you are so beautiful before and after. If I were to see you after I think the bump looks more like a pregnancy bump, it doesnt look like a sloppy fat!!!! omg what a body you have, you are so slim and you have no idea how I LOVE your skin colour. Having pale pasty see through skin is not attractive! I cant wait to see your bump grow and grow!

Mummy: Nah Im not going to test, my temps are still the same not high so I am fully expecting my period. I will see if they drop tomorrow ready for Mondays period. I still have crazy sore nips (this has been a new one for me this cycle) and creamy cm, had some zits turn up which I usually get around period and Im feeling in a bad mood!! Good news is I havent spotted yet so Im really hoping Mr P was causing that and so it wont happen days before period like it used to. I just hope that my period is not late, tomorrow is Day 28 but Ive had cycles up to day 32. But I got my smiley face Day 13 so I hope it stays regular. I feel that if its regular my eggs and everything are still good!!

I will go and read your journal, wtf I cant believe your family has gone through so much illness recently, I hope you feel better very soon

Thanks ladies... Preethi I wish mine were removed... had a number of issues when I was little... problem is I'm severely allergic to penicillin, so they have to give me alternatives that never treat the condition as well as penicillin does! but... rather get better slowly than take penicillin and die!

Sarah... I completely understand the desire to wait, but your body is doing some crazy stuff if you aren't pregnant... just make sure you note it all down so if you get it next cycle you are fully aware you've been here before... but I have a sneaky little feeling that you've conceived... I just hope that baby implants! (I had loads of pregnancy symptoms the month we had a chemical...along with bfp's to prove we'd conceived.. just didn't stick)

you know its funny, I can never remember my nipples ever being this sore. we BD'd the other day and I actually shouted out 'ow' when hubby grabbed my boob lol so if I end up not pregnant its just another symptom to add to the list. I did think the other day I could be pregnant from the nipple thing, but my temps are my usual mid cycle temps wouldnt they have gone really high by now? I guess Ive never really thought this cycle would end up being 'the' cycle, our 2 BD attempts were so sad LOL

and yes you are right, Im sure theres many people who conceive and get symptoms but dont implant...my book says as many as 70%! so much has to be right and align to create a life. I guess that explains why so many months it doesnt work then BAM you are pregnant.

you know why Im fine with getting my period? because that feels normal to me. Ive had it for 27 years now! I cant imagine, at all, getting a bfp, I just cant imagine it. I will be completely floored. so I think it helps that I just expect my period and when I get it I feel a little disappointed but Im ok.

also I keep reading on here people getting so upset at others bfps or others pregnancies. theres so many arguments on threads that have ttc people and pregnant people. I just dont get that. I sometimes wonder if perhaps I am not wanting a baby as much as these people, but I do want one. Perhaps as Ive been a career girl I havent had that crazy motherly urge which turns into a desperation? I dont know, I just know Im happy for everyone and I can separate that from my journey.

perhaps if a year from now it still hasnt happened I will be yelling at you all to take off your BABY pics!!

 

[MummyCat]

hahahaha....you are going to be a relaxed pregnant lady I think!!! It's great that you feel happy and comfortable chatting to those around you who are pregnant!!

I will keep my fingers crossed, but I doubt it'll be long before you get your BFP chick!!

Off to hospital now... my meds are in!! see you later! xx

 

[sarahincanada]

its nice to know that I have you all rooting me on!! I hope the meds work fast, let us know how you feel later!

I just read this in the over 35 section:

"Anyway according to CBFM and taking my temp, I ovulated around day 14. After a few months (by Nov 10) of fruitless attempts ttc, myself and oh began to niggle and argue with each other and decided to stop trying for a baby.
The themometer and Ov strips went into the bathroom cupboard.
During my next cycle we had sex twice on Cycle day 6 and that was it - no more nookies for the entire month. Come Jan 8th I had a BFP. Couldn't believe it...after all these years of thinking I ov'ed around the 14th day I ovulated between day 6 and 10."

isnt that crazy! you know Ive had this niggling feeling that even though I get an LH surge I may not always ovulate right at that time. This past cycle I got the positive ov test and we did our BDing, (actually should just call them insert and deposit sessions lol) that night and the next afternoon. I didnt feel anything in regards to Ov, but I was still healing. But 4 days later on the Thursday I felt some cramping, and I remember mentioning to hubby we should BD but we didnt (I think that was his 'its already done' comment).

anyway, I have told hubby that next cycle I want to attempt every other night from CD 6 till near the end. That way I know theres his super sperm up there at all times!! and if that doesnt work for 3 months then I go to see my FS and will hopefully get moving on some treatments to help things along.

I dont know if every other night is physically possible but Im going to try!!

 

[sarahincanada]

you will laugh: yesterday and today Im wearing the whitest of white panties so I can see if I spot! things we do

off to hairdresser now!

 

[nypage1981]

Preethi cute pics! Looks like baby to me but mine does too and I know mine is bloated.

Sarah that is really funny about your whities. Hahahahaa. Glad you didn't spot yet but hope if af comes it not late. That is such a tease. the cycle i got my bfp we dtd later in the cycle because I had a feeling I was missing it also. That's a good idea to try it. And keep those temps going consistent! It will help a lot I think. Hope you have fun getting your hair done. I have to do that soon!

Mummy sick while pregnant is awful. Can't take much for it so you suffer more. hope your vitamins can help you get better.

It's kind of crappy weather today and I have no idea what to do wih my day!

 

[MummyCat]

LOL @ Sarah... it's amazing how bodies work! Hope you get do do the plan you want!!

NY... it's not vitamins hun... it's antibiotics and steroids to heal the infection and ease the swelling... got them now, but have to wait till 6pm to take them!

Have a good weekend all... I'm feeling much much much better... possibly because the sun is shining too!

 

[sherylb]

well here are the pictures to compare.. i will never go down to that size 8.. i need a 10 - 12 now for certain clothes !

Wow, you look so great! I don't look like myself either anymore in that area.

 

[sherylb]

Sarah, lots of people wear a pantyliner to see if they have anything also. I hate wearing white anything except bra. And now that you are temping you should be able to without a doubt see at what point you are Oing so that will make it easier.

 

[sherylb]

I actually switched from my prenatals to one a day gummies that I had in the cabinet that I have taken before and it has helped my nausea tremendously. I actually feel like a normal person, just tired. My friend said she was pretty sure it was the DHA that does it.

 

[Huggles]

just popping in briefly as i'm having a 5 min lie down in the middle of a crazy day. Dh's 30th birthday tomorrow so lots of prep happening.

Thanks for answering the biltong question mummy.

 

[nypage1981]

Sheryl be sure to take a folic acid pill also. the dummies don't usually have enough.

 

[babyhopes2323]

sarah, i have a sneaky suspicion, you have that BFP this month too.. im with mummy on that one !! you will have it soon and youre going to be sooo excited and ive always told you that i admire the fact that you are so normal around people who are pregnant, and that youre ok with it !! its tough actually to b a woman who feels like you do !!xxx

mummy, lets just hope the sickness goes away soon, cant do anything about the tonsils now.. i mean like op or anything.. xx

thanks for your comments, unfortunately, i am about 67 kgs now and i feel heavy too !!

Ny, show us your bump pics, im sure you have one and its not all bloat !!

im so gobsmacked today dh and me went house hunting as weve got 3 weeks to move.. we currently pay about 120,000 AED for a 2 bed sea facing built in wardrobe apartment..

and its about 1700 sq foot and quite big and nice.. ill attach pics..

its actually quite a luxurious apartment and we live on the palm jumeirah if youve heard of it.. we are now thinking about the baby etc.. and we wont be living in dubai for long, we decided to move after the baby is born but we need a place for about a year and half here in dubai..

so there was this apartment we saw which was practically on the opposite side of where we live..and that was a one bed apt, which we thought would be ok as bubs will be sleeping with us for a while.. and it was direct sea facing, with private beach access and swimming pool etc. and was going for 110,000 AED, but was only 1180sq ft. i knew the minute i saw it that i would regret it as it was so beautiful and you can hear the waves crashing as your balcony is right on the beach !!

i wanted it soo bad and tried to convince DH and i think he fell for it after a while, but when we called the agent to ask him again, he said its rented out !! and we only saw it about a few hours ago !!

theres another exact same apartment, the last one available the same type on the entire block and im going to see it tomorrow.. ive asked the agent to promise he wont show it to anyone before i get there !! lets hope FX'D i get this flat as weve gotta be out of here in 3 weeks or less and i dont have a place to go !

you guys can convert the AED currency to USD, it is expensive,and not really affordable if you want to save, but most americans and british people live in this area as its an expat occupied area.


just thought id share pics of the apartment we live in.

 

[babyhopes2323]

Sheryl be sure to take a folic acid pill also. the dummies don't usually have enough.

I talked to the nurse when I went yesterday and with my supplement I am still getting 800 so that is fine she said. I think they were also causing my "blockage" which is no more so yea for me!

 

[nypage1981]

Cute place preethi. Love the view. How come you ant stay there and renew your lease? I have a guy friend who moved to Dubai for a while. I always thought it looked beautiful from his pictures. Very modern though and a little sterile for me. Do the apartments have yards wih them there for swingsets and running free?

 

[nypage1981]

ccan anyone see my ticker? I cant.

 

[sarahincanada]

hi everyone!

so I am spotting, but a tiny tiny amount so far less than before, lets see how much it is tomorrow which should be the day before full AF if everything is on track. Ive been in a bad mood all day so Im sure Im pmsing, stupid nipples are annoying me too....if Im not pregnant then I dont want really sore nipples thank you!

preethi I LOVE your apartment and what a view....wow! I used to have a condo in toronto that overlooked the lake and it was a beautiful view. I love the style of your apartment especially the kitchen and bathroom! thanks for the pics, now I can picture you and your life much more. I will have to get some photos up too. Good luck on the apartment tomorrow!! I would love to hear waves crashing as your sleep....thats my favourite thing when we go away

ny I can see your ticker so not sure why you cannot but perhaps its fixed now.

talk to everyone in the morning
