Totally Talkative, Crazy 1st-timers (NTNP/TTC #1!) - [22+ BFP's & 18 babies born!]

[flapjack10]

Congrats to your sister Angie! Sounds like a rollercoaster time for her, she's lucky to have a sis like you!

Hi Disney! :wave: Congrats on having a pinkie! Hope you're well. Can't believe your 18 weeks already, although I can't believe JJ and I are nearly 12!

Congratulations Disney!

FJ, good luck for your scan xx

 

[Aurora CHK]

Ooh Disney, congratulations on being full of girl! That sounds weird but you know what I mean.

Thanks Laura. Its coming up fast now and I am SO EXCITED! Also on Saturday DH spent loads of time holding and cuddling up with my sister's 5 month old I think he's ready, yay! (And not a minute too soon of course!!)

I need to stock up on ovulation sticks and pregnancy tests and pre-conception vitamins and Conceive+/Preseed etc. BUT as I am silly, I am not buying any of that until AF comes this month. Just in case!

Although part of me is tempted to, because a) I believe in Sod's Law, and feel it might be more likely to mean I get a BFP this month after all if I buy lots of things for January that I wouldnt then need, and b) I feel like I wouldn't really mind if I ended up with stuff I didn't need because I'd just be so happy to be pregnant. And then I feel that kind of cancels out a) because it wouldn't really be that much of a Sod after all.......

Yes I am a complete nutter!

My all-in-the-mind symptoms this month are the usual ones, that just actually mean I'm in luteal phase - tender (and by that I mean painful!) nips, gas, and this month a bit extra in the form of being all emotional the last week. I think that's probably more to do with Christmas though

AF due next Thursday - last one before TTC

 

[Aurora CHK]

Oops, I mean AF due this Thursday. Well, depending..... I think its due Wednesday, Fertility Friend thinks its due Friday, so I am splitting the difference!

Thanks girls

And congrats flapjack on your BFP! Aah I've been away so long that I didn't even know, so happy for you!

 

[JJsmom]

I can't believe we are already 12 weeks!!! I'm starting to panic a bit today though. I have been cramping off and on today and I'm hoping it's just baby growing! Praying we hear the heartbeat tomorrow at the appt and hoping they will schedule a 12 week scan as well or if I have to wait until 20 weeks now. Your baby was so cute on your scan FJ!!!!

 

[Hit Girl]

So many congratulations are in order here!!

I found out today that supposedly my cramping is round ligament pain! I've seen some girls on the July board that say they have had round ligament pain but I didn't know what that meant. Doc told me today that it's just the ligaments around the uterus expanding and stretching and as long as it's not severe and no spotting then everything is good! I'm sure my coughing isn't helping either.

 

[disneydarling]

Yes I had what I think was round ligament pain at around 12/13 weeks too. It's so hard not to stress and freak out at any little pains though!

 

[JJsmom]

Makes me feel better knowing others are going through it as well! How are you feeling Disney?

 

[flapjack10]

Makes me feel better too!

In your face, FF! today. 1 week and five days until January. Two weeks until Ovulation! Good thing hubby is now on two weeks holiday, he needs to conserve his energy. Although he's gonna need another holiday almost immediately after this one ends, heh heh must try not to break him...

 

[nlk]

yay aurora I think, as good as all these apps etc are, they're still not as good as properly knowing your own body. The amount of times mine has been off! And I had drugs regulating me!

Officially not under the care of fertility specialists anymore I'm so pissed at the nhs. I feel like I've just been abandoned. But I've now ordered agnus castus to try, and going to really exahust every option before I need to go through ivf (which apparently is the only hope I ever have of EVER getting pregnant). For me, I think ivf is the final attempt. I don't know whether I'm willing to go down the route of surrogacy, or adoption. This is already way more painful that I thought it would be Never i a million years did I think I would only have the option of ivf by the age of 21. It's more depressing knowing that I'm not even old enough to qualify for ivf yet!

 

[flapjack10]

nlk I've already written on your journal, but still wanted to on here too.

 

[Aurora CHK]

Oh NLK, I'm so sorry honey, that is so incredibly rubbish to the max. Sorry to be thoughtlessly going on about my TTC plans when you're going through this.

Its crazy that they won't try you on IVF early, when the reasons you need it are so different to the usual ones that give rise to the timescales.

 

[Aurora CHK]

Also, you really should move your journal link from that hidey place at the bottom there! I was just reading Flapjack's post like, NLK has a JOURNAL? Where is this treasure?

 

[flapjack10]

nlk's journal - Keep it secret, keep it safe.

 

[Aurora CHK]

heh heh, love it.
