Tinsel Tots 2009

[nuttynicnak]

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!

PMA for us! Love your sig now! Have you noticed how Mr. Storky carries a pink bundle??

No, i hadn't noticed that, perhaps it is another sign? x

 

[nuttynicnak]

Im sure everyone would just be happy to get a BFP - but when you do, does any one have a preference for a pink or blue bundle??

I have a pink one already and can honestly say I wouldnt mind, everyone assumes as I have a girl I would want a boy, but I would be more than happy to have another girl - would be lovely two sisters!!

Don't have a preference, but strangely feel drawn to a pink one and things keep appearing to point to a girl.

Hi Bubbles. x

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 !

Cazd-your entire post had me in stitches. I'm sorry to hear about OH S.A. Hope the next one goes good. Ours is scheduled for 12/10.........DH says he is not making any decisions until he sees the results. arghhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Fish&Chips]

Ok think I'll test tomorrow. Last time I decided to test, I had really real dreams that I had taken it already and it was a BFP. I hope I don't have another dream like that. Will let you know how it goes tomorrow evening (UK time). Wish me luck x

 

[Titi]

WOW moving along today is it?

Angelmyky-how rough-being so late and only BFNs. I was 1 day late this last cycle and somehow went through 3 tests. I too cried my eyes out for days-I know its hard. Hang in there.

Bubbles-Welcome! Lots of Pma here!

Twinklestar, Lolly, & maybe F&C-GOOOOOOOD LUCK tomorrow testing!!!! FX'D!!!!!!!!!

Also, as far as a boy or girl I am the oldest of four and only have brothers and always wanted a baby sister but never got one (my mum did have twins though!). I wanted a baby girl so bad that DH does too so that we did shettles method first month or two we were TTC just to get a girl. After it started taking too long I gave up and now I will be so happy just to get a BFP either way!!!

Speaking of which I wasn't crazy in beginning of TTC. Just ridiculously optimistic & naive that was going to get PG right away. Its now, about a year later that it hasn't happened and I get afraid no baby for us, that I start freaking out.

 

[Titi]

F&C-I had the stupid BFP dream too before I tested this cycle-CONVINCED me I was PG........what a bummer.

 

[westbrja]

Fish&Chips - Love the avatar!

I'm telling you what, if AF shows her face I will be soooo mad. I will take up a whole page ranting. I've already warned the OH. I'm trying not to get my hopes up but it's so hard. Every little bubble I'm wondering if its a cramp. Ugh this sucks!

 

[Fish&Chips]

I know what you mean titi.. I am terrified that I'm not going to be able to conceive. Hope this doesn't sound too naive but at least if I had one kiddie I could relax a bit knowing it is possible. x

Me too! We should join forces against her! It really does suck x

 

[lolley]

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

Thanks, I went to the chemist after work and got a frer, so will do it fmu tomorrow

 

[lolley]

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!!

sounds good to me got my frer waiting lol.
sending lots of
I will be on here from about 9.30 at work

 

[twinklestar8]

good luck everyone testing tomorrow!! I will be up testing first thing, so will let you all know!

Right, 10pm here, I am tired, so off to bed I think!

oh is busy packing up our house at the mo, will help at the weekend, I am not a night person, lol!!

Night!

 

[bubbles]

Twinkle - He turned 1 this month, How old is your LO?

As far as pink or blue go I'm not fussed I just want DS to have a sibling to play with although a girl would be nice to even out the numbers

 

[GossipGirly]

fish and chips ...hmm i see what u mean, god I dunno bout my cd day as I realised yesterday I had some how managed to temp a day ahead of myself lol so fiddled around so there not accurate but accurate enough. basically im just ignoring temps before o now and looking for a triphasic chart past o, here's hoping my temp goes back up tomorrow and higher than O temps (which are correct) I just had to kind of delete one early in the cycle that i had discarded anyway and move it along ....bah!! does that make any sense?? xx

[lolley]

sending to everyone testing tomorrow.

Fairygirl - understand completely about the semptember date, i'm the same work with vi students in a high school.

Bubbles welcome to the fastest thread ever!

edit as i forgot a bit lol-
as for pink and blue, I have 2 blue so obviously a pink would be nice but this would be dh 1st so really i don't mind and i do love my blues to bits

 

[westbrja]

So who's all up for testing tmw (Turkey Day)?

So far I've got:

Westbrja
Fish&Chips
Lolley
Twinklestar

Who's missing? Man this thread is movin to fast. I can't remember everyone, sorry.

yes-that is the worst part for me. As much as I would like a baby soon, if someone could tell me everything was okay and we would definitely be having one I could wait longer and be patient. It is the fear that maybe it could not be meant for us that gets me so upset each BFN. BUT here is to PMA for you-you may already be PG!!!!

Good Luck to you and also to wetbrja and any others!

 

[Fish&Chips]

Well Westbrja.. get ready to rant... my temp dropped by a very large amount, I've got spotting and finally I've got a big fat blimen BFN. Luckily as I had the other signs before I got the BFN, I was fine and I just thank my lucky stars that I now don't have a horrible wait for one or the other. As the witch is quite early, it means my hubbie probably didn't get back from the States in time so at least I know why this month! I'm having a big ole glass of wine tonight!! whoo hoo!

Good luck to the other girls testing! xxx
