Evening ladies

Sorry about AF PK hope IUI appts hurry along for you xx

MC Congrats on the new baby - hope you get hugs soon!

Poppy sounds like you did have a lucky escape, out of curiosity, what would you have done in the circus?

Jenny if memory serves me correctly you're only 9dpo today? Plenty of time to get a BFP yet hun xx

AFM went to choir tonight for the first time since before Christmas. DH usually has his son on Wednesday's but it has been changed to Thursday's so now I can choir again :yippee:

mc congrats on 100 days, ive been looking forward to double digits too!! i guess i have six more days thennn! im scared about breastfeeding too, im going to buy a pump but i plan to exclusively breastfeed for the first month at least, because im nervous ill mess something up and baby will like the bottle better. After i get comfortable with it I'm going to use the pump occasionally because I want OH to be able to feed the baby sometimes, and because I couldn't imagine taking my boob out in public lol. Anyway I want to breastfeed/pump for the whole time I'm off school/work.. so hopefully at least 8 months. I'm nervous it wont work but I'm going to give it some serious effort because OH and I are very adamant about breastfeeding.

I was nervous that I would like.. not make milk or colostrum or anything? But my nipples leak all the time right now. Last week i was laying in bed and got up and had it all over my arm!

Heres my "am i normal" question for you guys, I havent had one in a while

My left nipple became definitely larger than my right one and it leaks way more often too.. "am i normal"? lol

Also, how do pregnant women shave their lady parts when the belly is in the way? I am having issues hah. Oh the things we talk about

 

[puppycat]

Hey Hopes

I had one boob that ould leak happily and freely and one that didn't want to know - I hope it's normal! lol.

I gave up shaving in the end, I asked DH to trim it a little with scissors at about 35weeks then didn't bother anymore!

 

[poppy666]

PK so sorry sweetie i sooooooooooooo cant wait till you & DH get some help this is one BFP i cant wait to celebrate

Coral glad you and Tink had a good afternoon x

Puppycat would of been the high trapeze

Hopes i always leaked more from one boob, as for lady garden i got in alsorts of positions in the shower, plus used a mirror lol but luckily just did it before korben decided to make an early appearance.

Im sat here feeling seriously poorly 'sicky' and REALLY need to stop smoking... i need some advice what i can use or take to help me kick habit? I shouldnt be smoking anyways due to the Pulmonary embolism i suffered and doctor once looked at my legs and they quite white/grey told me bad circulation so need to get off them

 

[pk2of8]

hey hopes! you're normal sweetie! breasts and nipples change sizes i think, and even NOT preggo my breasts are not the same size. it's not an obvious difference to anybody but me, but it is that way as for the shaving... i tried to prop a leg like on the toilet or something i think. hard to remember now, it's been so long...i may have given up in later days, or just done as well as possible "blind"

puppy, i go to choir on wednesdays too...it's so nice to be able to go isn't it?

MC, congrats on the new baby for sister's SIL.

china, i think your af won't come til next week sweetie

jenny, try not to think about the bfn...defo way early for a positive test.

coral, so nice for you and tink to be able to get together like that. i need to get together with a ding dong girl

anyway, just cramping along here feeling very anxious about dh's SA. he took a sample to the lab this morning. dh said he felt like there wasn't very much, so i'm very worried about it. dh is too, but he doesn't say as much. we go to the urologist next tuesday. i'm very anxious about getting the results. well, i have to go for now girls. i'll try to pop on again later tonight

 

[pk2of8]

awww poppy...thank you so much sweetie i'm really having a very down and anxious day today. what with dh's SA, worrying about the results from that now and the whole CD1 issue. just wishing/praying for some good news soon.

i don't know what to tell you about the smoking poppy quitting has been very hard for everyone i know that's been through it, but they all say they are so glad they did and feel so much better after they've kicked it. i know some people that used the patches or gum and such to wean themselves. others i know have said that quitting cold turkey was the best way. personally, i'd lean toward the cold turkey if i had to do it, but everybody's different. you're right it's not good for you, especially with the other health issues. but we're here for you sweetie to support you no matter what

i thought about asking OH for assistance too haha. but thought id see if there was some trick that i was missing lol.

The boob that did not leak, were you still able to feed with it? I mean, it wasn't like.. broken right? lol

 

[Hopes314]

poppy the mirror is a good idea lol. i may try that hows the bump??

pk when are your next appointments to get the IUI and what not started?

Thanks PK im going to have a word with the midwife, i know i once tried the patches and my arm went all red and itchy around the patch and found myself smoking with it on When i was in hospital for the PE i didnt smoke for 7 days, but once i came out i started straight away again grrrrrr... ive been smoking since i was 17 'not good' i know when i was young id only smoke about 3 a week but as i got older i smoked more and i know its not good, so need help to quit x

That made me giggle

I was still able to feed with it but it wasn't as.... efficient, as the other one lol.

 

[poppy666]

Hopes mirror is good but have to get it at the right angle lol just dont let your DH do it mine once tried and i nearly had no lady garden or bits left as for bump its slowly getting bigger but still convinced its bloat x

 

[pk2of8]

can't imagine letting dh go at my lady garden with a razor too scary to think about really

poppy, good thing to talk to your midwife about it you can do it hun...anybody who's as strong as you are and been through all you have can kick it sweetie

hopes, i'm sure both your boobies will be just fine and we don't have an appt yet for IUI. we go back to the urologist next tues (may 17) and once we get the SA results there, then i'll make the appt with the fertility specialist. i'm really hoping we can push for iui this cycle, but i guess it will depend on how soon we can get in for an appt.

Morning ladies,

Woke up extra early tod courtesy of my trampy neighbours banging and arguing last night and woke me up at 5am. There dog was barking also poor thing prob trying to protect one of them as they are banging around. Seems to be quiet now though. None of them work so I guess anytime is good for them!

Poppy good luck quitting hunnie. Have you tried cold turkey? I know thats how my DH quit and he was on almost 2 packs a day that was back when he was about 21 though. Has the MW offered help?

PK I can understand why you are so anxious, and hope you get the IUI this cycle.

Hopes I am having that problem now shaving my lady garden I did it blindly in the shower a couple of days ago I think I will use a mirror next time and be quick before it steams up! Also I'm sure your boobies are fine. Mine dont leak at all really, I only know I have colostrum from squeezing to make sure

[caz & bob]

morning girls just waiting to go the gym not doing much think i will just do 40 minutes on the bike and do light weights why i have ovulated x x x

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Good morning all! Several ding dongs up with the birdies I see zzz I joined you all, I think i managed about 4hours on an off last night

Poppy, defo speak to your midwife about stopping smoking. I know how hard it is to quit, and defo recomend NRT when you have a strong addiction. Your midwife will put you on the right track, its hard but you can do it x

What's new Puppycat? Whoa wo whoa wo whoaaaaa woooo wo x

Hopes, don't worry bout the non leaky boob, all will be fine! Sometimes we do have one more efficient boob for no particular reason, but it will work once you got bubba feeding off it! Some women leak a lot, others nothing at all. It doesn't really matter because as soon as you feed, you will make the milk your baby requres. Its as simple as that x

PK hope your ok today honey

MC, morning my dear! but sorry it was quite so early for you Congratulations on the birth of your SIL little boy!!! x

Coral, again sorry you got woke up early, seems i spoke too soon yesterday as I had an awful night sleep again Thanks for lunch, was nice! x
