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

[Huggles]

no, unfortunately she didn't get pg that month, but i suspect there are other issues there as she has always struggled to get pg. I don't think they've ever had her hubby tested and i've often wondered if the problem isn't perhaps with him. She also has rheumatoid arthritis which i think can also play a negative role in fertility. So don't lose hope based on her.
If all your hormone tests came back good, and your hubby has super sperm, then i don't see a reason why this shouldn't be your month - provided you time your bd'ing right!

I also wanted to say that another reason why you should bd tonight is that, if i remember correctly, you normally ov on the same day you get your surge. So if you wait until you get your surge before bd'ing you might be too late and might miss your chance. But if you bd tonight already, then if you get your surge tomorrow you'll already have sperm waiting. And if you only get your surge on sunday then the sperm should still be there from today, although you might want to bd sunday morning rather than waiting until the evening, just to be sure.

Great news Sarah! I just could not guess, was too excited to scroll down and read 4 sounds good to me and I love your maths too

I have read plenty of times that 36 hours is a good enough time to replenish sperms so I would suggest to continue BDing every other day and then 2 days in a row once you see the surge. I guess you and me are ovulating same day as the day of surge for last few cycles which means day of surge is most important for us.

Wow, I am getting a feeling that you are almost pregnant Good good good...best of luck!!!! One of us has to get our BFP and bring good luck back to this thread

I was just thinking that exact thing!

dew Im hoping you will get yours this month and I wont be far behind!! Im excited that I have a great chance, but realistic that it doesnt mean its going to definitely happen. at least its more interesting than the other months, I have been doing this quite a while now and it was about time something interesting happened!!

 

[sherylb]

I really don't know what I did to make the baby so active today but I have felt 8 good kicks in the past few hours. They seem to come in sets of 4. I also found my uterus. The top is a little above my belly button now.

 

[wonnabump]

that would be quite hard considering if you got pregnant noq then you wouldnt give birth until 2012 LOL x

duhhhhhh yes we know!!! this thread was started in january and we are still chatting on it, most of us got our bfps and are sticking together chatting on here

 

[wonnabump]

ya know i was only joking. . .

[flyingduster]

hehe Sheryl, I can feel my uterus now that it's gone above my bellybutton too!


Sarah; yay!!!! I'd go with BD tonight too, and then if no surge tomorrow then skip tomorrow but then BD again the next morning regardless of surge or not. How neat you have FOUR though! wooot! Lets hope one of them is strong and healthy and one of those super sperm falls in love. lmao!




I swear it MUST have been a huge growth spurt on thursday, cos the *movement* now is all the time! I've lost count at 30-odd kicks and wriggles in bed last night, (though still couldn't get hubby to feel them) whenever I got up to go to the toilet and came back to bed, bub would settle down with a few kicks as well, and whenever I roll over, I can feel it re-adjust too! Spooky, and awesome all at once. I'm gonna get another bump pic this afternoon to see if it compares much different to the one 2 weeks ago...

 

[sarahincanada]

awww flying the movement thing is so amazing hope hubby gets to feel a kick soon!

preethi I think thats a great plan to keep with the woman and only go to marcus if you are early.

just had dinner with hubby, I asked him during which position should we do tonight, he was like 'Im eating'

 

[NDH]

Sarah, yay for 4 follies! I reckon that's the perfect number, especially since (unless you get a trigger) you'll probably only release from one side. Or maybe the will all go, not sure what happens next actually. I agree with the others - with DHs super sperm BD as often as you wish. The fs probably isn't used to couples with super sperm.

Sheryl, yay for more kicks!

Preethi, it must be a relief to have made a decision. I think it's a good thing you can keep Marcus on the backburner - if you so go preterm he sounds like the one you'd want (very good at what he does and very clinical but no bedside manner) but let's all hope you don't need him

I do wish I was able to see the same person every time and develop a relationship with my doctor/midwife. I'm a very shy person and would really prefer not to have a man deliver. But beggers can't be choosers and we can't afford to go private. Next time though I think we'll save for an independent midwife and have a homebirth. If I could guarantee being accepted into the birth centre each time I'd probably stick with that. But I shouldn't plan for the next one when I'm still cooking this one lol.

 

[sherylb]

LOL. I have a male doctor who is the absolute best but doesn't have great bed manner.

 

[flyingduster]

Oh that sucks NDH, I didn't realise you couldn't stick with one person! We have a national health system here so while there is always the option of going private, the free public system (no insurance or whatever) is pretty good. You'd only pay for an Ob Gyn here, but the independent midwives are all free, and you stick with that midwife all the way through your pregnancy (unless you don't like her and switch to another; which is also allowed at any stage! You're not stuck with someone you don't like!)

There is a chance that if I go into labour on a weekend my midwife isn't on call then I'll get one of the other three ladies she works with, but they all work in much the same way together and I'll be meeting them before that stage so will know them already. My midwife only has 3-4 births in any given month though (she won't take on more than that) so at least when I do go into labour she shouldn't be running around between a heap of us!!! lol.

yes I did wonder if they would all release or not....what happens to the other 2 follicles if they are mature and dont release? Ive been googling and found lots of people who had 4 follicles and didnt get pregnant, but those people seem to have a long list of problems, so it just depends if theres anything else going on with me.

we are definitely BDing tonight, might end up doing tomorrow too. I always panic at this time!!!

Sarah, just a word of advice Tomorrow test between 11am and 2pm for ovulation if no smiley then don't BD tomorrow and save the spermies for day after. Certainly, BD tonight.

ok I will try!!! its so hard not to BD though when its so close
its only CD12 tomorrow so Im assuming I will get the surge on CD13 on sunday, CD13 is the earliest Ive ever had a surge. or I may have to go on monday, as sometimes I dont ovulate till CD17. Ive read that more are released if you have a trigger as its a stronger ovulation, so I guess more chances so I dont mind if I have to go on monday.
how are you feeling....are you going to test this weekend?

Not sure, I might test, depends on how I am feeling.

It's just that we never know which day we are gonna see the surge, I too personally prefer to BD a day before and day of ovulation (which also seems to be coinciding with day of first smiley). It's a tough decision. Follow your instincts, don't listen to me Remember out of all on this thread I am the last you should listen to....hahaha!!

 

[babyhopes2323]

Sarah !!! YAY !!!!!!!!

i am so happy for you,, that you have responded well for their tests, i dont know much about follicles and how they work but i will certainly be reading on the web about it now !!

am so happy for you and i just know that you are going to get pregnant and its only a matter about catching the right egg at the right time..

i think if they have suggested BDing today, like huggles says and then when you get your surge , go for it, i mean your hubby does have super sperm so it is only a matter of time. !!

im so chuffed for you sweetie xxx i just know it is going to happen soon. xxx


Flying and sheryl, so glad you ladies are feeling such wonderful kicks already, you must be over the moon

Dew, crossing my fingers and toes for the both of you here, i know its only a matter of time and when i log on to BNB theres going to be a BFP on this thread very soon !! xx

NDH, im sure youll be able to have your homebirth as lots of them do i dont know if thatis expensive as i have not read on it much , over here we are not allowed home births and it strictly has to be hospital birth with the ob gyn and they are the ones you see at every appointment all the way through till the end of the birth.

AFM, nothing to report except for very very a very very sore back and very sore feet even if i walk for only 10 mins around a shopping mall.

DH and me went to mother care and mamas and papas yesterday and have decided most likely to get a cot bed from mamas and papas and the pram/car seat from mothercare.

I can see that my belly button has almost come out if you know what i mean, once i take my belly piercing out, i am able to see the skin that was once hollow and deep like a normal belly button, now coming out to pop. i would do a shot, but i dont have a scanner to scan in the pics !

today is saturday and tomorrow is the first day of the week so nothing going on here, will be taking a couple of DH's italian clients out to dinner tonight, thats about it really.

My next appointment is on the 3rd of July with the lady. she wanted to see bubs heart and do a echo cardiogram i think because she specializes in high risk and still does fetal echo cardiogram and other tests for every pregnant woman. not sure if the echo is what she is going to do, but she wants to check some section of the heart just for her reports, but bubs is laying in a back to front position not the right position so she has asked me to come back in two weeks. that will be the first time dh meets her as well.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend. xx

Yeah here you only get to choose if you go private. We're sticking with the medicare which is completely free for all maternity costs, but takes away choice. I'm doing shared care, so at least I always get to see my GP when my appointments aren't with the antenatal clinic (there is sometimes a cost for doing shared care but my GP is bulk billing me so I only had to pay for the first two appointments.

I can still choose to see a midwife or an OBGYN for antenatal appointments I think, but not the individual. There's a state or two that I believe also covers independent midwives for homebirths, but not the one I live in - it's barely legal in the rest of Australia and not covered at all by medicare so would be completely out of pocket. Most are happy to be paid post-birth from the baby bonus so I guess it wouldn't have to cost us too much, but as DH isn't keen for a home birth for a first timer and it's not that important to me to argue the point I'll be fine with whatever. Births here don't seem to be quite as medicalised as they are back home anyway so I'm fine with even having to have a hospital birth if necessary. I think our hospital here only has a 14% intervention rate so that's not bad. If I don't get accepted into the birth centre though I'm going to get a doula.

 

[flyingduster]

Yeah, I'm open to a home birth (covered by midwives here so still free and a LOT of women I know have had them) but hubby isn't keen for a first time and I'm not all that worried about it; I know the maternity hospital here is very good so I'm quite happy to have bub there with my midwife!

I've enrolled in antenatal classes that start on 18th July too, so that should be good! I'm going as much for the social aspect, and for hubby to have a more active roll in stuff (I'm reading things online constantly so learning heaps, but hubby isn't, though wants to know all he should know too!) so it should be fun.

I took a photo today, but when compared to my one 2 weeks ago it's almost exactly the same; the only difference being a slight change of position! lol! So I haven't bothered to put it up online, I'll wait till there's more to show.
