Brilliant, that would suggest you OV a bit earlier than FF suggests, 2 days earlier i would say!

If that's the case when should AF have been due ? I've a 14 day LP.... When will I be offically late ? Dr Dance ?

Yup this morning he is over the moon and congratulated himself for having good swimmers he is freaking me out a bit by being too positive , I keep telling him slow down its a long road with no guarantees . I hate feeling like this but whilst over the moon to be pg just can't let myself be excited about it yet .

Regina it's completely normal, I didn't let myself get emotional involved for weeks, I just couldn't, but it gets better, after what we've all been through its natural but I kept telling myself I may as well think positive as worrying won't change the effect of fate, that really helped me many times, what will be will be,no matter what so it's worth trying to stay on the positive side of course you worry we wouldn't be human if we didn't but all us ladies are testament to the fact it's completely possible to have a healthy pregnancy, which you will too, my dh was super positive from day 1 and I was glad he had that attitude it helped a lot when I was worried. Massive congrats to you both xxxxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Becks thanks I'm trying to take that line of thought but it is though. Your so right though worrying will do nothing and won't change the outcome either way . So I'm trying to stay in the here and now and think today I am pregnant and all is ok , not think about tommrow or next week ect ..... I'm sure ill get better with practice lol.

 

[Oasis717]

I honestly took it day by day, and every week when I passed another week was a milestone, before I knew it I was 20 weeks, don't look too far ahead, you're doing exactly the right thing, concentrate on the here and now. I crumbled a few times but dh was always there with the pma to pick me up and he was right, here we are now at 23 weeks. It's entirely possible, you've got every reason to believe all will be ok, so whilst it is tough just look at the ladies on this thread and how far we've come. That will be you too. So so happy for you xxxxxx

Kat that's great, baby dust your way

Regina , Becks is right , just take is a step at a time. I would just take a day at a time and one scan at a time. Bit by bit the time goes by.

Jo, sorry the witch came back from her hols to get you . Maybe she'll wish she'd gone for longer and next month she'll stay away. You now have a very good LP which is bonus. PMA and dTD every other day!

Afm had a really bad night against night. Firstly I woke with back ache , finally got back to sleep only to wake again with a pain in the top of my tummy again, once again made me feel like I was going to be sick or have an upset stomach, bt neither happened. I was awake for ages. In the end I propped the pillows up and say up with a pillow across my tummy, fell asleep for about another hour !

It's now half nine and I am in bed , all pains gone at moment, I'm wondering if it is heartburn, never had it with others so don't know what it's like !

Night night all.

Kat - PMA PMA for you this means your treatment is working right

Lisa sounds very much like heartburn to me hun, it's awful and can be really painful, I have it every single night I sleep propped up every night. Not getting much sleep tonight as poor ds 4 is so ill, sick three times yest morning, slept all day, temp, sore throat, headache, refuses to have Calpol, tried everything to get him to take it but to no avail, breaks my heart to see him ill, up every hour with him. So hoping he's improved in the morning he ate nothing all day xxxx

Oh dear hope he gets better. I have to bribe my youngest to take medicine. We usually have to use a syringe and force him to take it.i hate doing it as I feel really mean!

Last time he had antibiotics we bribed him with mini marshmallows which started to work. So much so that the other week he needed calpol and he took it from a spoon! Cost me a bowl of marshmallows though!

 

[Oasis717]

If only that worked with Casey, we've tried absolutely everything, he's only had Calpol once in his life and that was when he was in hospital at 4 months with Croup. He not only refuses medicine but food and drink too, the worry is him getting dehydrated, I thought I was going to have to take him to the doctors this morning but I've managed to bribe him by playing board games between mouthfuls to drink a cup of juice and small piece toast, he looks a tiny bit better, I was up every 20 mins from 3am with him so exhausted! Xxxx

Becks - It's awful when you can't take away there pain - have you tried hot lemonade I swear by it when nothing else works

Lisa - I'm quite lucky both mine take their medicines quite well now - but how I remember the syringe days - in one side out the other

Kat - How are you today?

Regina - Hope you're PMA has come back - it is difficult after a loss but all we can do is take one day at a time - baby steps, one step closer to our baby

Jo - Sorry she got you - maybe next month she will forget were you live - every time we have fallen pregnant looking at my charts the last time we did the deed including this time was well before O time in fact 4 days before

Love to all the other ladies

AFM - I went to a tea party yesterday was good fun - until my 2 year old nephew slapped me in the boobies not content with that he slapped me in the tummy - guess who didn't sleep much last night

Back to reality today and more PMA then ever - I've started a journal as this munchkin is here to stay

[Kat S]

Garfie, he slapped you twice?! One time on the stomach?! Was he punished? Wow, I can't believe it!!

I have a scan tomorrow to check my follicle progress. Fingers crossed I have two juicy ones!!!

 

[garfie]

Kat - He did personally I was disgusted and to top it all off he gave my youngest a cuddle and then proceeded to bite him - I did say something at this point - nobody hurts my babies

for two juicy follicles - fingers crossed - hope you've been keeping up with the PMA

AFM - Just had a call from the Midwife she wants to book me in tomorrow - I'm scared and anxious as the last time I got to see her it was to late and my little one had already grown wings

Of course today I also feel less bloated - so my PMA is starting to dwindle

[Oasis717]

Loads luck for tomorrow Kat, and hope mw goes well Fi xxxxx

 

[bash73]

Hey ladies...so I had a d&c Friday for nothing, apparently there was nothing in my uterus and the doc suspects ectopic, so now i have to have a shot today. I really need this to be over so that I can move on. Anyone ever have the shot? Any side effects?

 

[josie1234]

Kat - good luck for tomorrow, PMA for your follicles. Good Luck hunny.

Becks - aww hope your DS feels better soon. It is heartbreaking when you see them so ill and try to help them. No wonder you are shattered.

Fi - good luck for tomorrow, will be thinking of you. Can't believe nephew behaved like that, terrible.

How's everyone else today? Was disappointed with AF coming as convinced this was it, especially as cycle was so long but going to have PMA. I know it will happen eventually and DH has leave this month so we will have longer together. Will defo get BD in, every other day and have noted the comment about doing it before OV. I am pleased that my cycle was longer and hopefully this will be the same this cycle (also making LP longer). Feeling positive about it.

Had a nice wander around Stamford today. I've enclosed photo of me and DH, my birthday weekend in London in April.

Have a good night all xxx
