TTC just off the pill buddies

[Caroline:-)]

Just seen you've started a journal too!!! So just popped in to see you there - and I'm your first visitor!!!!

 

[Caroline:-)]

Thank you Caroline!

I am due to O next Saturday (if my cycle remains 32 days that is) so I should hopefully get a positive OPK the middle of next week FX'd which means if we get a BFP in October we will have made our baby over there!

We did actually talk a month or two ago about naming it Sorrento if it was a girl and we managed to conceive while there, but we were joking and I think it might be a bit silly, what do you think? It's not even worth considering unless we get a BFP anyway!

Having ring issues atm, unless OH has kept it a secret from me which I think is unlikely as I've been with im all the time, the shop hasn't been able to get my size in time so may have to go without and hope I can collect it once we're back!! Sooo gutted!! Once I eventually have it in my possession though i shall post some pictures.

xx xx

Ooooh no!!!! That sucks Fingers crossed he has managed to keep it from you some how!!!!

Actually, even though I said about Sorrento 1/2 joking, I was actually thinking it sounded like a lovely name!!! Really pretty!!! Worth thinkiing about!!! But like you say, you've got to get the BFP first!!!! BABYDUST....

 

[Caroline:-)]

I don't let my pee cool when doing OPK's???? But I still get a +ve. Does it maybe depend on the brand you use? xxxxx

TBH, I don't REALLY think it's necessary... I don't always wait But that's what it says on the instructions - although not on the actual packet I don't think - but me being me, I have to read all the info first with everything!!! haha...

Thanks for the visit

It is pretty, but I don't think it goes with our (or should I say his) last name, but then I suppose if you have a nice middle name it might sound better altogether.

Saying that, not only do I need a BFP next month, but it would also have to be a girl !! Not asking for much here !! I like to think that fate exists though, so we shall see.

[Caroline:-)]

You never know!!!!

 

[squeal]

You never know!!!!

I actually think I would feel stupid calling my child Sorrento in public, it's not really a name you can shorten either! I don't think we agree on any names atm. Anyone else discussed it with their OH?

xx

 

[Caroline:-)]

Maybe Sorrento as a middle name?!?!?
We've not properly discussed it... I mean we've had a few little chats about what names we like, but I'm determined not to get properly into that discussion with him until I get a BFP... kinda feels like I'd be tempting fate to talk about it yet... I'm sure we're gonna have disagreements on that front though!!!!

I know what you mean with the whole tempting fate thing. I try not to bring the subject up often but part of me wants to all the time. I went to TK Max earlier and just wanted to look at the baby clothes but didn't, I'm sure OH would think I am slowly going mad and obssessed.

I really like the idea of it being a middle name actually

I'm liking Oscar for a boy though.

xx

 

[Caroline:-)]

Oscar is nice... My fav boys name at the moment is Oliver... I also like the Welsh version of Max - Macsen/Macs but I know DH hates it!!! lol... Girls is harder, I've soooo many names I like!!!!

 

[squeal]

Oliver is nice too, would you call him Ollie? I like that. I knew an Oliver at school though and he was a little weed. It's funny how people you know in life can put you off a name. I do like Oliver though.

I like Amelia (Millie) for a girl but OH won't let me have it because that's the name of my dog and he won't let me name our child after my dog!!

And I just realised that if we have a girl OH would probably like to have the middle name as his Mum's name so I think that's already kinda certain.

 

[Caroline:-)]

Yeah, Amelia is on my list of fav girls names tooo... along with Leila, Emily, Olivia & Sophia... Think they're my fav's at the moment...
Middle name for a girl would have to be Ann I think... it's my mums name, DH's mums name (although with an E on the end), and my middle name.... Middle name for a boy would have to be John as it's a traditional middle name for boys in my family (both my brother and my dad and I think further back in my dads family too) as well as being the name of DH's brother and uncle!

Hi all

Just back from a great 2 weeks in the US

But weird things happening (or not happening). AF should have been due on Wed if my cycle had been normal. But no sign so far. I had been using OPK's before I went away and nothing. So either my cycles haven't settled down since I came off the BCP, or they're settled down to what they were before the BCP, when they were completely all over the place, or else...

Haven't tested yet so

If it is the last thing, it would be fab but slightly worrying since I've spent the last 2 weeks drinking wine and eating...well, everything!!

Will keep you all informed anyway

Hey Corina, gald you had a lovely time!!!!!
How have you managed not to test yet?!!? Come on girl - get testing - you never know!!!!!

 

[babycakes1982]

TEST! TEST!

I'm 10dpo and I've had cramps since 7dpo (think after I had my melt down the other day)

Is this normal???? I never got it last month. AF isn't due until Thursday according to my last luteal phase (was 12 days).

I tested this am got a BFN!

I'm confused

How is everyone else? xxxx

 

[Caroline:-)]

Aaaaw, sorry you got a BFN babycakes... you never know though, don't give up yet... plenty of people don't get their BFP until later than that...Of course, the cramps could just be due to the bloody bcp still... or getting used to how your body behaves again... I had the most horrendous ovulation pain this cycle, it reeeeaaaallly hurt! I woke in the early hours and couldn't get back to sleep it hurt so much... then it came back later in the day and I had to leave work early because of the pain!!!! Even with taking paracetamol it was horrible...
BUT, don't give up yet - it's still early-ish and you're not out till witchy arrives!!! Fingers crossed for you hun!
I'm 6DPO at the moment... no real symptoms yet

So how is everyone? I was stung by a bee on my leg last Friday, stung a bit but was fine the rest of the day and Saturday... But Sunday I woke up and it was red and swolen (about the side of a coffee mug) painful and itchy... I was going to go to the doctor today but waaaay too busy to leave work - it seems to be getting a bit better now though... has anyone else had a bad reaction like that? I'm a bit concerned in case I get a worse reaction another time as I've obviously got some sort of allergy?!?!? hmmm...

 

[Conina]

Ah well AF got me before the test did

At least now there's no worry about the amount of wine, shell fish, soft cheese etc that I consumed on holiday!!

That makes a 33 day cycle, after the last one which was 27 days. I have no clue... Back to testing!!!

 

[babycakes1982]

Conina - Aw sorry the she got you hun! for you this cyle then PMA PMA PMA.


Caroline, my sis got that before with a sting. She got antiboitics for it but it did swell up more than yours I think and I think it may have been infected. Maybe you are allergic so I would keep an eye out if it gets any worse. Or maybe your preggers and that's why your body reacted like that. PMA and to you.


Well cramps have dissapperead???? wtf. Think I maybe I didn't ovulate properly when I thought I did and maybe that was my body doing it just there??? Who knows, time will tell ..... Think I might do temps next cycle to get a better understanding of my body. Any tips girls??
xxxxxxxxx

 

[Caroline:-)]

Yeah, you should definately temp babycakes... they say it's the only way to really know if you've Ov'd... I was kind of unsure this month - I mean cm and terrible O pains convinced me I had, but I didin't get a properly positive opk! But, my temps quickly confirmed that I had Ov'd... the only thing is, I think it makes you obsess even more than anything else... lol...
BUT! You're still not out this cycle hun - so don't make too many plans for next just yet!!! The cramps still could have been implantation!!!! Good luck hun and keep us upated!!!!

Aaaaw, really sorry evil got you Conina Yeah, my cycles have been 26 and 22 so far - and this one will be more (exept it won't because AF is NOT coming and I AM going to get my BFP!!!!! ) PMA for next cycle though Conina - good luck
