*** Positive Mental Attitude TTC - Anyone joining us? ***

[Smiler82]

I'm sure when I had mine done they said it could be between 7 and 12 dpo so it may not be a problem. Can you ring them tomorrow and see if there can be any flexibility?

 

[mommylov]

my dr says that too but in dec I wasnt using clomid or an estrogen patch. Now she has me wearign an estrogen patch the day after my last clomid pill (cd8) to make sure my lining gets nice and thick. Thats why I think it is going to be important that I am able to do this on cd7. I will talk to her though and see what she says.

 

[mommylov]

Jsut checked with the nurse and she said that Im still ok to do the HSG after cd7. Should it call on a weekend, then I will just schedule it for that monday.

 

[lilesMom]

Afternoon for me How are you doing Mommylov? Any sign of AF, or any more testing?

Lilesmom sorry you have been feeling a bit crappy but a good cry is always good to get it off your chest

Are you buying baby stuff new? I'm getting some hand-me-downs and also trawling ebay, and a facebook group in my town where people post the stuff they have for sale. There's often baby stuff on there for quite cheap. I don't really know when to start buying stuff - I don't want stuff to be cluttering up the house for ages but at the same time I wonder if buying stuff bit by bit from now onwards will be a little easier financially. Not that this one is getting anything new haha!

i bought a good few bits early on, ive stopped now, except few tiny things for hosp bag. im a bit broke at the mo so we have stalled
im really glad i got the stuff earlier cos i be panicked now if i didnt
my sis is giving us loads of stuff, we r very lucky. she gave us loads of clothes and is giving us buggy, pram, car seat and sterilser. its fab
hand me downs are the job i will take all im given with gratitude
Oh parents are tryin to get the moses basket he had when small for us
we will be buying cot and matress in a bit.
im gonna see how breast feedin goes for few days before buyin the pump. i was gonna buy now but then thought what if bub never takes to bf, or i cant bf and dont have dosh at mo so i thought maybe better to wait
my friends are havin a kind of shower for me in 2 weeks time so il prob get some clothes r something
do u have spare room u can stash stuff in?

 

[lilesMom]

PS I just realised I never updated about my scan on this thread...Mommylov already knows this from my journal but everything was looking fine and we are having a boy! I knew it

thats fab hon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
glad alls well woohoo a little boy

 

[lilesMom]

Hey Smiler, good afternoon to you! heheh Im doing ok, still cramping but not spotting as of yet. My temps havent hit my coverline so hopefully they will by tomorrow. How are you doing?

Laura, Im so sorry you were down I hope you are feeling better today. I second what Smiler said regarding Ebay and online stores. There are some steals and great baby items you can get for cheap!

Lilesmom sorry to hear about the financial constraints. Is a real downer I know but as you say is only temporary so all will be sorted in time I am sure

No real news from me, ticking over as usual. Just been enjoying the sunshine today, it is such a relief to finally have some and to be able to eat and work in the garden is sheer bliss Happy Smiler today

 

[lilesMom]

Hello Ladies!

I can't believe how much has happened since I went away and how much time seems to have passed!

LilesMom, you're so close now! How are you feeling about it all? Do you have a birth plan etc.? I'm so excited for you!!

Smiler, you're having a boy and you too are so far gone, almost V Day

MommyLove, I'm sorry that AF showed up, but as Smiler said, at least you know where you stand. How are you feeling about this new cycle?

Babybemine, your ticker says you're 16dpo, but I'm not sure how accurate that is? What's your update? I hope you have good news

Hopeful and Katy? I hope you're both well too xx

I am doing well, enjoying this extra week off work, time to relax and get used to being back in Italy I haven't been temping or opking or anything, so I'm only sure of my cd, but have no idea if or when I ov'd. I do remember having some ewcm on holiday but trying not to pay too much attention to it, but can't help checking through force of habit!

Anyway, I'm cd33, my period is two days late and I've convinced myself it's just all the travelling and adjusting to time zone changes and what not. I've had some really light cramps over the past 3 days, they just come and go as they please. I tested on saturday (to get it out of my system) and it was -ve, so now I'm too scared to test and let go of this tiny shred of hope that I could be pg.

That and I never have fmu these days as I keep waking up to pee at 4 or 5am and I just flush it because I put all the tests and the pee cup away when I decided to stop 'trying'.

If my period is still not here by the weekend then I'll test. If I can hold the pee long enough! I'm trying not to get too excited and keep reminding myself that I put a lot of strain on my body this month with indulgent eating and drinking and so much travelling, so it's likely that I didn't OV, or I OV'd late or my cycle is just all out of whack.

In other things, I've started doing kundalini yoga at home and it makes me feel SO ALIVE! I love it The beautiful sunny weather is definitely helping, but I've lost the afternoon sun as the back of our building is being painted so there is scaffolding up and lots of builder men out there everyday. I still get the sun in the morning though, so I soaked that up today

Ok, end of essay

I hope you are all feeling fabulous and full of live, take care my lovelies xx

 

[DiscoRia]

Also, Japan was a dream come true. If any of you ever wanted to visit, I would say defnitely go because it will exceed your expectations, seriously!

Most of my pictures are on instagram on my phone and it is being a pain and won't upload, so I've just got a couple from disney to share...

 

[mommylov]

Hi ladies!

Smiler, thanks dear. I too was bummed about af showing but glad when she does when I know Im not pregnant. That way I can just move on to the next cycle.

Disco, Hope youre enjoying your time in Italy! Im doing ok so far. Exciting that you are late.. i dont know about it being the time zone difference... Im hoping your preggers!!

Laura, how are you doing dear?

:wave: to everyone!

I woke up not feeling very well this morning. Long story short had a bit of an argument last night with dh (my fault) and not like us at all. She consoled me and knew that it was the hormones that were making me so emotional. Woke up with some cramping this morning and a HUGE temp spike and its only cd7 and my last day of clomid today so Im really confused. Text my dr to see what she wants me to do and also to see if she can check out the lump in my right arm pit and hard vein that is coming from it.

 

[babybemine]

AF is here. On to another cycle. Gonna do one more round of femara then onto injectables. DH gets apprehensive at each new thing the RE wants to do with us. Hopefully this cycle with IUI will be it for us. 4 is my lucky number.

 

[mommylov]

Disco love th epics and glad you had a great time!

babybemine, Oh no!!!! I thought this was going to be it with the IUI. Im so sorry hun Sending you LOTS of

[Smiler82]

Discoria! So lovely to hear from you Really pleased you guys had an amazing time in Japan Sounds like you had some quality time to relax and get away from the stresses of work, ttc etc. Really happy for you Hope that you have a lovely surprise on the way, though understand not wanting to get your hopes up too much. Keep us posted!!!

Mommylov that is a huuuuggggeee spike...I wonder why. Was anything unusual, like extra blankets, or heating left on etc? Could well be all the drugs etc I guess. Have you heard back from your doc yet?

Babybemine I'm so sorry the iui didn't work first time Got everything crossed for you that it won't come as far as the injectables and this next cycle is your lucky one

Lilesmom you have your own field Love it! Any news on your test results? Great they could confirm boy for you Really cool to hear the hypno cds are helping. I emailed someone about classes this week, we're going to meet her next week to talk about it a little more and see if we want to go ahead. Over email she seems really nice, so hopefully she is as nice in person

I keep having mini-panics over lack of movement but it's like he is psychic, every time I start to worry he gives me a little jump or something We've been given loads of free stuff which is amazing though there are a few things we need to buy. Taking freebies doesn't bother me but there is something about going out and deliberately picking an item out still makes me nervous... superstitious I know but I can't help it. Seen a moses basket that I really, really want and Amazon don't have many left in stock. Dno't know whether to buy it or risk being disappointed if they don't get more supplies Dilemma!

 

[lilesMom]

yeah i love my field totally attracted us to the house
i would so buy it smiler u would go mad if they dont get moses basket back in
havent heard anything form hosp so i dont know if that means all clear or what .......
feelin bit better , ive been drinking loads, still swelling though and have crmaps in back so not sure might try ring hosp but they r so hard to get anyone on the phone.

fx for ur hypno class, i didnt do class cos of dosh but have been doing cds loads

no news with me , hi and hugs to all xxxxxx
