Tinsel Tots 2009

OMG LADIES !!! I'm kicking myself for not coming on here last night and today - I can't keep up!

OK - first off Angel - get to the Drs - s are pants and you don't need to see any more.
Didn't I say the Drs'll find that second line for you!

And second... TAMPONS??? I had absolutely no idea.
But thankfully I split my AF between tampons for when I'm out and about and my mooncup for when I'm at home.
Girls - if you haven't tried it - go buy one! they're fab.
But then.. nothing in the world is taboo to me - I kind of like emptying it and seeing AF - AAAARGH - that's a bit mental isn't it??? but it makes me feel more aware of my body and what its doing. if that makes sense.

Fairygirl - is this your first month of TTC then?
If it is then you've got all my sympathy 'cos I went to hell and back in my first month.
I joined a group where one girl was saying how she wanted to be calm and how she didn't want to be "that girl" who got all upset blah blah blah...
well - I totally broke down when that stupid showed.
Sod em all - when you want something so badly it's gonna hurt if it doesn't happen.
I'd just say - hope for the best but prepare for the worst...
couples take an average of 12 months to conceive yadda yadda... PMA...
well - we're all here for you and rooting for a but if it doesn't come then you're ALLOWED to be upset

Oh - and as for men not getting it !!!
I've ranted so many times in my journal about my sodding bloke and his stupid
His count is really low and they're mostly mis-shapen and don't move very fast!
the fertility specialist said to quit alcohol and eat better and he'll improve the soldiers no end. But he just can't do it - or won't do it - or whatever.
He's doing another S/A on Friday so that'd better come out good.

Hate to say it but the FS said that not smoking is the best thing you can do to improve that he was already at an advantage 'cos he didn't smoke.
Girl - your mans GOT to QUIT !

Lolley - Superdrugs early testing sticks are really sensitive and they're CHEAP too!

 

[twinklestar8]

angelmyky - poor you - you must be going crazy, going to the docs sounds like a good idea, they may offer to do a blood test or something as you have waited a while before contacting them.

Lolley, fingers crossed for tomorrow's testing!! Fancy being test buddies?? I am going to test (again) tomorrow!!! But actually told my husband I am doing it this time!!!


Fairy girl - I know what you mean, I am driving myself insane, I either want a BFP or AF to arrive so I can hopefully chill out for a bit, although now we have started ttc, we will prob be on the countdown to ov, then BD, then 2ww again! lol Alot of people who are on their 2nd preg tell me that you arent as obsessive with the next pregnancy - e.g - reading preg books about stages etc etc - but I think based on ttc I will be!!

Well - day 34 today, I had to extend my ticker as I almost ran out of days!

Not really got any symptoms, one min AF cramps ease off, then they are back again, am constantly convinced that I am about to come on - still wearing pads incase!! Also today I felt quite nauseous when I was changing my daughters nappy in some toilets, smells dont usually affect me, but I couldnt talk to my little girl when I was changing as I thought I would be sick, I had to finish getting her dressed outside - lol! Could be a sign, could have just been a VERY stinky nappy bin!! No sore boobs like last time, so BFN for me I think - just the witch playing tricks!!

Yup my first month, and that's because I caved and brought it forward a month, to play the odds so to speak. Been reading bnb on and off since Aug, want to be as prepared as I can be. But now I'm losing the plot. Start BDing to make a baby on Friday. OH wants to save his energy til then . Who knew it'd be so...argh!!!

 

[Fish&Chips]

I'm so tempted to test with you.. just so darn scared!

 

[twinklestar8]

Fish and Chips, do you know how many dpo you are?

 

[twinklestar8]

my PMA is that if it doesnt happen this month I will fingers crossed - be aiming for a september baby, which tbh was our original plan, but as you may have guessed I was impatient and wanted to try early!

Yay!! Somebody who rants like me! I love you!! (and your mooncup! It does make you more aware of your body, I think, and I get satisfaction from seeing it as I throw AF down the toilet, so it's not just you who are weird...). Apparently 3 glasses (although what size I don't know - medium?) of orange juice a day are supposed to help sperm, cd7-17. I'm feeding my man zinc tablets and vitamin e capsules too, as the natural fertility improvement thread on here has all sorts of suggestions like that).

mwah ahahaha - I am your resident test pusher

Fairygirl - congrats on bringing it forwards. I nagged and nagged my man about TTC and he wanted to wait 'till Jan 2010!

When that broody switch flicks there's no holding it back!

and re the drs say to abstain for 3 days before giving a sample for analysis - 'cos they want the best possible sample...
so defo every other day or every 3 days gives the best possible

 

[cazd]

ooh - OJ - now he likes that!
I'm gonna get a load of it for him next time we're out - thanks!!!

 

[Fish&Chips]

Fish and Chips, do you know how many dpo you are?

Not really. I was having 29&30 day cycles until last month which was 34 days. So if I'm back to 29 or 30 I will be 11 or 12 dpo. But if it's another long one, I could only be 8dpo. I didn't have much luck with the other signs this month as still new to the science of baby making! x

 

[Fish&Chips]

Ooh Cazd you test pusher you! x

 

[fairygirl]

I was the one holding him back, only kept him waiting a year. All to do with work and money. I'm after a September baby, as my cycle got longer and longer I figured a late Aug due date could get me a September baby and as it takes most couple under 30 4-5months anyway I thought why not a month early.

angelmyky and Lolley, I hope you both get some answers soon.

Sorry for my early morning tmi panic. I have to keep reassuring myself that everything is normal and I will be fine to ttc for the first time this month. Did anyone else find themselves completely anxious and flustered in their first month of trying. I can't really put it into words how I'm feeling, other than I can't see to be calm about anything!

Yep, i did.

I felt like what am i doing, is this right, ahhh. Then i felt calm and collected and then confused and arrgghh again!

Now still feel a bit like that, but decided PMA is the best way!

 

[Ava Grace]

Hey how are we all??? so much goes on on here I can't keep up!!

So I now need to get DH to drink orange juice that might help with his inability to swallow a tablet!! He has just quit smoking although I think he may still be having a sneaky one at work grrrrrr!!

Twinklestar & Fish&chips when are you going to test? I'm keeping everything crossed for you! xxxx

Fairygirl- how are you doing cycle buddy? xxxx
