I was driving when he asked me look, so I looked on mirror and saw the hands!

He was then under strict instructions not to touch a thing and bless him, he sat there trying to lick it off. We were home shortly after and there was nothing on the car at all!

With the second one I lost in 2012 it took 4 months to get pg. Remember the average time at our age is 6-9 months.

One thing we did change for Caitlin was the amount of BD, in the past every day got results first time, but DH is older too and I don't think those little spermies were potent enough.

So for Caitlin we BD every other day from when I got ewcm. Caitlin happened first time!

Just looked at old chart of FF. we bd every other day. It worked out we bd day before OPK so then bd day day of positive OPK and day after that.

Morning all - that is so funny Lisa, good job he didn't put his hands anywhere, bless him. Made me chuckle. I know it is sad not to ttc again but you are so lucky. AFM - I have not POAS for ages! I have found that I don't stress about it all now, if it is meant to be, it will be. Very busy trying to sort my life out and work so all is good.

Becks - hope you get your ov and cross hairs soon, so frustrating waiting eh? I still do my own bootcamps local anyway, I will let the new company know what classes I want to do so its a case of working out between us which ones/days we are doing. So I could do kettlebells, spin, circuits, high intensity interval training, abs blast, bootcamp, whatever I want. Then on top of that I will be doing 1-1 and 1-small group personal training.

Crystal - thanks hun. How are you feeling? Good luck for your results and bet it will all be real once you have the scan.

Fi - how are things hun? Still waiting for the damn AF?? I have booked my smear so may mention about my long cycles and ask about good things to take for peri-menopausal mood swings. My AF was a few days earlier this time than last, so fingers crossed, cycle is even shorter next time. Hope your AF comes soon.

Regina - hope AF is ok for you and good that it's out of the way for your smear and then you can really ttc. Doing classes is definitely different than doing it for yourself. I do like going to classes too (so I can get an idea of different exercises/training techniques, definitely a good way to find out what are good classes). And certain instructors I tend to like and go to their classes when I can, one of the girls who is starting with the new company does good circuits and I went to her kettlebells the other week. I defo need to do more running though. I have been eating a lot lately and my tummy/waist is getting bigger (!) so I need to be better with eating.

Tanya - glad you are not stressing. I think sometimes it is good not to stress and get your hopes up all the time, just relax. I hope you are wrong though and you get your BFP soon.

Hope you are ok Sparkle and Tilly and anyone else if I have missed you, sorry xxx

Glad to see everyone is doing well!

AFM: I had my first bout of nausea yesterday which made me happy?!? I picked up some ginger candy which I think helped a little last time. This morning I woke up with a stye on my eye. Lovely. Tomorrow's ultrasound can not come fast enough. I am nervous about my doctor's concern about not being able to get a read on the heart beat even though we saw the flicker. I am really hoping that it was much ado about nothing, and everything will look and sound great tomorrow. This will be my first visit at my Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialist since my loss. I did change doctors, but it is the same office, the same waiting room, the same ultrasound room...and so forth. I am hopeful that this round of visits will be very different because everything will look and sound perfect!

 

[crysshae]

He did very well Lisa. Lol.

Jo - Hope your doc can help you with the mood swings and such. All those exercise classes sound like you are very busy.

Jenn - I think you'll have a great scan tomorrow. I'm 6 weeks today, and the app on my phone said you can see but not hear the heartbeat now.

 

[Oasis717]

Good luck for tomorrow Jenn!! Xxxx

 

[Soanxious]

Cry 6 weeks !!! Wow half way to second tri .... How did that happen !!! Tick tock its moving fast !

So oh ain't old lol ..... Tell him he's now REALLY old lol......
AFM : AF being kind , not too heavy and no cramps so all is good with her . I came home from shopping today to find a beautiful bouquet of flowers from OH and a card telling me how grateful he was for my support and that he knows it hasn't been easy to live with him lately ( tbh I didn't notice only he was tired and a bit irritable ) he seems a bit lighter in mood so fingers crossed he is on the mend . He even cut the grass without me nagging !!! Lol

 

[Soanxious]

Oh he is my victor meldrew...old git he is miserable git too...

Your DH sounds like he is an angel... wish my OH would cut the grass without me asking him...

at this moment in time I can't even stand talking to him at the moment...he is narking me off just breathing.... seriously narking me off actually.. he is on the phone as I am typing this and im so irritated by him ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Left wonderin]

Those temps looking good so

 

[Soanxious]

My temps were nice last cycle and progesterone was 41 7dpo but im cramping today

so im not really taking any notice of whats going on just yet...

Im off rescuing doggies tomorrow from Southampton.. so a long day..... takes my mind off tww

 

[Oasis717]

Cramping too early for af Tan! Implantation? Oh I hope so xxxx
To bed too late again. I only seem to be able to get stuff done when Brooklyn's in bed and for some strange reason he was up til 12 tonight:0 xxx

 

[Soanxious]

The cramping was strong enough for wanting paracetamol but I didn't take it.. if I was not in a tww I would of taken paracetamol.. not sure if its a symptom of taking the soy iso ..im not looking at anything else as cm has altered from pregnancy to pregnancy and all that is progesterone related for 1st 10 days....

im off to Southampton now... rescuing doggies from death row and taking them to boarding kennels and foster homes back in Wales. hope everyone has a good day

 

[Oasis717]

Well im keeping my fingers crossed its implantation Have a good day xxx

 

[Sparkle125]

Heart rate was 121 and everything looks great! Whew! Now I feel like I can breathe...for a moment at least. Thanks for all of your encouragement and kind words!

 

[crysshae]

Tanya - I hope that cramping is implantation too.
