[betty14]

nexis, i know that you will be feeling all sorts right now but it will all be ok..... pcos is not the end of the line there is sooooo much they can do to help you, i am living proof that its not the end!! beg your gp for metformin while you wait! as samie said thats what i did and i didnt get as far as the fs shout if you wanna ask me anything!

pinky that made me giggle about them misspelling their middle names

pink, sorry to hear that the appointment didnt go well, at least they have prepared you and baby for an early delivery

honey i agree your kiddos are a credit to you they all achieve so much and clearly have the support to be able to hope you are feeling a bit better

good luck with all the blood tests ladies, you get used to being poked with needles when having trouble ttc def worth it in the end tho!!

ive been busy today, packed both our bags and sorted all her millions of clothes out i must say i love that her bag now has things in it totally pooped now but glad its done

x x x

 

[pink23]

Thanks betty and samie x my bags are all packed either way so just taking it day by day. Just need to get caleb a bag done just incase he needs to stop at nans the night before x

 

[nexis]

Ooo a day before mine. Good luck. Do you think you will ovulate on your own? Did you have a hormone panel done for the second blood test? Xx

They just tested testosterone this time as all other hormones tested normal on the first test.

i want to pack bags!!!!!! im really jealous its my first thing to do when i finish work next friday!!

I have got most things just not all packed up yet.

good luck pink- wont be long for you prob try and daddy you along to 37 weeks then in im very excited for you

dont worry about the pcos- im a long term PCOS person too but I suppose I was lucky as I knew about it before TTC. i do have horrible side effects from my pcos which pregnancy has certainly made worse but ive learnt to accept it now.

thought I was going in to labour today in the supermarket (ok so not labour but something comparably painful!!!) ! I have been fine all day and not been on feet that much at all. we went to do the shopping and my hips ached a little but nothing new. I got half whay around and I was near doubled in pain! I couldnt walk any further I couldnt stand up was agony in both hips back and around bump too! had to be shuffled to a chair in the store

had a nice hot bath and feel beter but still very sore- no idea what it was all about, ive been achy but never anythign like that!

thanks for the advice ont he gracco travel cot, thats the one I saw that looked best so as and when will get one.

really want to start the nursery im so excited about it and although im much better than i was im still such a worry wart im terrafied of something going wrong. i definatly dont like this 'natural birth' rubbish they were talking about with minimal monitoring!!!! i want to be monitored!!!

this is a really stupid feeling but i will share it here as anyone else will certainly think ive lost it! im frightened that during labour, when you start pushing baby out and sometimes it goes back in witht he contraction then back out a bit (is that the 'active bit') well anyway- i have this really weird phobia that its bad for baby and will crush them and suffocate them or rip the cord out goodness to think mankind has reproduced al these years!!!!!!!!!! im not thinking about labour and all the scary things that could go wrong im adopting to ignore it all and take it one push at a time LOL

btw-OV strips, had to pee in a pot- i have no aim at all for a silly little stick

 

[PinkyEyes]

Finished the marking!

Good luck Pink!

All us blood test ladies will look like pincushions at this rate!

I'm a pee in a pot gal - find I end up peeing on my hand when I'm trying to judge where to put the stick to catch the stream!

And the girls packing bags - I packed about two weeks early for my honeymoon - I just love to know everything is in its place, it gives me a calm feeling. Xx

 

[AmeliaLily]

Aw Nexis at least you have a diagnosis!!

Pinky I've just finished my marking too!! Unfortunately A level maths exams don't really have anything in to make me chuckle. Apart from the odd 1 x 1 = 2 thing they do occasionally.

Hey Samie and Abbie have you seen this?!

Hey everyone.
Pink dont worry apart from a few days you are full term so no probs there.
Pinky I did laugh at your observations but they are an accurate description of probably the majority of yr 6 classes My oldest 2 have just done a spelling test they do each yr to assess their spelling age. Its out of 100 is that the one you ate marking? I trawled back through my posts for the last year on facebook and found their results from last year. So Brandon at the time was in yr5 and had 92/100 he was 10.5yrs old and spelling age was 14.2, Sofia was 8.5yrs old and spelling age was 11.3 I honestly think it's down to them being made to read! Ollie by the time he was 4months old would listen to the whole of Goldilocks without moving! So helps with their concentration too. Brandon is like me and likes to proof read
I hardly blink anymore at blood tests. I have been known to cry in phlebotomy (only place they manage to get blood out of me) when they have had to have 5 stabs to get it! You do get to a point where you think just let them get on with it!
Anna hope pain is gone soon.
Betty yay at bags packed
How you feeling Amelia?
Xx

 

[Diddums]

Ah ok Nexis. When I had my blood tests all my levels were ok expect LH and free androgens which were both high because of my PCOS. Hope your appointment goes well xx

 

[betty14]

Anna hope you feel better soon won't take you long to pack your bags I just collected it all in one place then it all went straight in the case

Pinky I said that I had a sense of calm after I finished yesterday I like to be organised, I don't do well with chaos!

Amelia how you doing? Not long till the half way mark for you! Do you have a date for te anomaly scan?

Honey that's brill results! Hope they do as well this year! I too think it's important to have books! I have started reading to our lo already!

Morning ladies

Hope all are well. Love hearing your stories about packing bags ready for bubba's

Can i ask how did you all know or think you had PCOS? was it just abnormal cycles?

 

[betty14]

Sara for me it was my cycles and not ovulating plus some extra hair in places ladies shouldn't be hairy

I've got a rash popped up on the back of one hand and my wrist the other side! Driving me mad itching!!

X x x

 

[sara15h1986]

Thanks For letting me know

its CD 7 for me so apparently dont need to use OV sticks until this weekend.

 

[betty14]

I tested daily From when af stopped but more so because I wasn't sure if I would ov at all so didnt wat to miss it!

X x x

 

[sara15h1986]

yeah thats a fair point, I might do one when I get home. But then again this is my first true cycle after stopping Pill so not sure what to do!

 

[Diddums]

Sara when I was 15 my periods stopped and after 5 months went to the docs who did blood test and ultrasound and I was diagnosed with PCOS. My cycles are usually 31 days but the only cycle I temped since coming of bcp was 31 days and I ov on my own at cd21. This second cycle has been a nightmare and I don't know whether it's my PCOS playing up or because I started taking b vit complex and AC and that messed my body up. Currently usin progesterone cream to try to bring on AF xx

 

[sara15h1986]

Maybe for the next few days i will use my OV sticks.

Am interested in seeing what the test line looks like when OV.

Before I was on the pill I used to be able to feel when I was OV but not sure, because it has been so long if I will still feel it.

Very exciting

What is weird is I havent told anyone about TTC but every conversation I have these days ends up being about Babies!

 

[Honeybear1976]

Betty- maybe a heat rash? X

 

[PinkyEyes]

I like the clearblue OV tests with the happy smiley face - it makes me giggle when you get the smile - you know what you're going to be doing! They are expensive though.
I had my blood test today, was doing OK by looking away, but then when it was done I saw the vials of blood - I swear they're bigger than they used to be.
Hope you're all feeling fab today!
