Aw HoneyBee! Super sorry about that gig, but the universe must definitely have better plans in mind : ) I'll get that roll call on the first page started with the two of us

 

[Tanikit]

Sorry about the job Honeybee.

 

[honeybee28]

thanks guys. im ok coz i didnt really want it, it's just knocked my self confidence a little. i'll be ok.

thanks for doing the roll call jaimie!! cant wait til we all have bfp by our names woo woo!

 

[soph77]

Sorry about the job honey

Love the rollcall.

Here is mine:

soph77, 32yrs. 7th cycle TTC 2nd baby, but 3rd child (I have a step-son)

 

[soph77]

Ugh, teaching yr 7 today. Hope they are a nice bunch. Had the cutest prep class yesterday.

I got a call back from my interview yesterday asking me to call them about a contract for next term so I will ring them today and find out what it is, yippee! (did I say on here that I had a job interview? or was that on facebook?) Anyway the school is a national partnership school which means that it has been targeted by the government for some reason to throw heaps of money at it to try and improve outcomes. This school has been targeted because it is in a low socio-economical area where most families are living at or below the poverty line, so could be a good challenge!

luckyD - I know Im going to sound so dense but I just love that you're on the other side of the world, and have the shortest day the same day we have the longest - i KNOW its obvious but its just tickles me! I think IF you don't catch this month and you're seeing the news bubs on your next OV, then I reckon you can just bring back all that gorgeous newborn baby dust and make it work for next time - maybe those EXTRA broody hormones will kick start a few things downstairs! the party yesterday sounds so cool!



as for hubby and the "situation" we had last week... I wrote down my feelings in a very blunt journal entry/letter and asked him to read it, as I know I wouldnt have been able to express it all in a real conversation. the good news is we're now TTC! I'm OVing this weekend so lets hope he is still feeling brave then! he was so scared over the MC, and the chance of it happening again.

thank you girls for all your support and advice on this one.

I agree that it's so crazy to think it's our longest day here when it's the shortest for the ladies on the other half of the world. It really does amuse me!

And I do the exact same thing. I have to write to my OH when I'm really, really sad or upset because I cry and he interrupts if I don't. I think it also gives the guys time to really think about what you're saying rather than getting defensive... I'm glad this approach really worked out for you. and

I am still in denial today - saw the psychiatrist about stopping the meds and she says I must stop one of them over the next two weeks and only stop the other if I get hyper (manic) having stopped the first one - could be interesting. I have decided to leave the blood test til Saturday as I still need the form for the T4/TSH test and don't want them drawing blood more than they have to.

Lucky that sounds like a nice time you spent with the kids - wow, I want to homeschool too, but 7!!! Sorry you have been feeling sick - hope you feel better soon and really hope you get your BFP - though spending time with a newborn after a BFP can be a bit scary - still would be good practice. (Newborns seem very big when you know you have to get one out of you)

I hope that adjusting your meds and keeping your T4 and sugar levels on an even keel goes smoothly for you Tanikit! And I agree with your advice to Moon - that dog should definitely get checked out.

TryFor - I can also see how you'd be frustrated with your sisters and their pregnancies. My most optimistic opinion is that it might bring you closer, but I'm not sure you should try and get close to Mandy (I think that is her name?). Honestly I think the best you can hope for is that you'll be a better role model for them, but that isn't something you can do intentionally, you know? You just gotta hope they see a different path and decide they want it for themselves. I sincerely hope their choices do not ruin your enjoyment of your hard earned pregnancy.

Mush, it is fantastic to hear that your DH came around! Gosh I hope it happens for you soon and that you get a nice, healthy sticky bean

LuckyD - I hope you are feeling better and not as frustrated. The winter solstice party sounds fantastic! I hope it is a good way to kick off this cycle for ya! I'm excited to be ovulicious around our summer solstice.

What do you gals think of a roll call for the first page of this thread? Just a little list that shows our ages, how long we've been trying for, any previous pregnancies, etc. At the top we'll have our two BFPs - Tanikit and TryFor - who each tried for about 9 months, right?

Here is a sample of the rest of the list, feel free to correct:

Jaimie2Eyes - 14th cycle, TTC #1, 34 years old

LuckyD - 7th cycle, TTC #1

HoneyBee - 7th cycle, TTC #1

Just let me know if you are game and want to be listed : )

SquirrelGirl - 9th cycle (ooh, I hope it's my lucky 9th too!) TTC#1, 30

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Squirrel and Lucky, Thanks so much! It means alot.

I heard from girlsin the softcups thread a long while back that most people who use softcups gets their bfp within 3 cycles of using them. Igotmy bfp on my third cycle of ucing them and my ninth cycle of active TTC. Just a suggestion, but it doesn't cost alot and they don't hurt, maybe give them a try for a bit.

I know, I"m kinda all over the place with my replies, just don't have the energy to do multi-quotes right now!

I've used softcups for three months, and Lucky just started this past cycle. so hopefully cycles 4 and 2 will split the difference and be like the lucky cycle #3 for the both of us!!

Yes, you told us about this a little while back! How exciting! And you thought your interview went badly!!




Honey, sorry you didn't get the job you interviewed for. Like you said, even if you didn't want it, it's a downer if they don't offer it to you anyway.

Oh no that was a different interview! That on was for my teacher rating, and yes, I still feel that it was bad. I still have not gotten my results from that one yet.
But this latest one was for a contract in a school. Got the contract today, it is for a yr 6 class, yay!

 

[LuckyD]

wowweeee so much has happened this past week eh? I'll confess to using Lucky D's MASSIVE post to catch up! lol - thanks for the summary

luckyD - I know Im going to sound so dense but I just love that you're on the other side of the world, and have the shortest day the same day we have the longest - i KNOW its obvious but its just tickles me! I think IF you don't catch this month and you're seeing the news bubs on your next OV, then I reckon you can just bring back all that gorgeous newborn baby dust and make it work for next time - maybe those EXTRA broody hormones will kick start a few things downstairs! the party yesterday sounds so cool!

thank you girls for all your support and advice on this one.

I know, my post was massive! I had one night off BnB and there was soooo much to catch up on! Thanks for your message sweets - yeah, I will bring back lots of newborn baby dust from Australia...that's if lucky cycle 7 doesn't deliver! So pleased to hear that you are TTCing and that you and your hubby have been able to sort things out that is really great

LuckyD, my DD is semi-hyper! LOL She is a very vibrant talkative energetic little girl! She never stops! This baby is going to be just as hyper! LOL My husband said the baby looked like a bouncy ball in there while I said it looked like a jumping bean flying around inside! I think you may be onto something with the spremy trampoline!
The party sounded really lovely! How is your job going?

Ha ha, you are going to have a fun household when your new bubs is born! Cute little jumping bean
Job is going ok thanks, pretty full on really, it's a lot more responsibility than I thought and some of it I am finding quite hard, but it's still early days. We shall see!


Niamh - I mucked up the multiquote by mistake - but wanted to say hi and that I hope it's you getting pg soon as well How are you doing with the healthy eating? Hope you can TTC again soon....xx

My friend is such a numbnuts.... She has this dog which she reckons she loves to bits, but this dog (a staffy pitty cattle dog mix) got pregnant to some random mixed breed dog.... She somehow failed to notice the dog was pregnant until a few days ago, and it went into what appeared to be labour 24 hours ago. In the past 24 hours, she's had mucus coming from her, she's sat at particular times panting, and contracting.... and now its over and no puppies, the dog is apparently (she says) back to normal, happy, bouncy and wanting to go for walks.
She's not taking the dog to the vet for another 2 days though.

I would think if MY dog went through what appeared to be labour and hadn't had any puppies within 12 hours, I would have carted her off to the vet, but she didn't, she went out shopping and left the dog home alone....
Gah! This frustrates me to no end.

I've seen many people do things like this before and its turned out the labour ended because the puppies couldn't be expelled and they die inside the mother, and it doesn't end pretty. One of our dogs had it happen to her twice before mum finally had her neutered because she didn't want to risk it happening again. Our dog would go through all the motions of labour, and have no puppies and a few days later, she'd have green gunk coming out of her as the dead puppies inside of her turned to goo and finally got expelled and the mum would get horribly sick while this was going on.

I just want to slap her and shake her!!!
Sorry everyone, major rant, but this makes me think she really doesn't care for her animals as much as she thinks she does!

ETA: Apologies for the post and run, just had to rant, will catch up on everything tomorrow.

This is horrible Moon, I really hope that she gets her dog to the vet and that everything is ok.

I am still in denial today - saw the psychiatrist about stopping the meds and she says I must stop one of them over the next two weeks and only stop the other if I get hyper (manic) having stopped the first one - could be interesting. I have decided to leave the blood test til Saturday as I still need the form for the T4/TSH test and don't want them drawing blood more than they have to.

(Newborns seem very big when you know you have to get one out of you)

I know, home schooling 7 kids sounds pretty full on to me as well!!
Hope that the blood test goes well, and good luck with stopping the meds xx

LuckyD - 7th cycle, TTC #1

HoneyBee - 7th cycle, TTC #1

Just let me know if you are game and want to be listed : )

Sounds good to me! Add my name - you already know I am cycle 7, but you can also add my age - 32.

yeah lucky cycle 7 has got to be lucky, and jaimie, you are defo going to be twice as lucky!! Im only 4dpo so im not too far ahead of you this cycle.

Gooooooooooo lucky 7!!!!!!!

I've used softcups for three months, and Lucky just started this past cycle. so hopefully cycles 4 and 2 will split the difference and be like the lucky cycle #3 for the both of us!!

I like your thinking Squirrel! It's only logical, right? xx

Oh no that was a different interview! That on was for my teacher rating, and yes, I still feel that it was bad. I still have not gotten my results from that one yet.
But this latest one was for a contract in a school. Got the contract today, it is for a yr 6 class, yay!

Awesome Soph! That is great news xx


Hope you are all doing well today! I am tired....but ok... we are having some people up this weekend and having a bonfire on our land, should be fun. Plus my cousin and her gorgeous son are coming to visit, she lives in Auckland so I dont' get to see her too much, so that will be fun. Her son is so beautiful, he is one and a half and so cute! Can't wait to have some time with him.

 

[honeybee28]

wow.... seeing the roll call.....it's weird how we've all been trying longer than average huh (i heard 5 months is average - but perhaps that's wrong) .... i thought i was abnormal for taking this long but i guess im normal..... still, really hope that stork hurries up with a mass delivery of bubs for everyone on here!!

hope you all have a super day/eve.xxx

Thought I would share a little pearl Kai said today -

'Mum, are you and Dad going to have parent fun time tonight?'

'What's that Kai?'

'You know,...SEX!'

(holding back laughter) 'Well yes, maybe, parents like to have fun too you know.'


Another little gem he said to me this morning -

'Mum, I wish there was 2 of you and 2 of me.'

'Why is that?'

'Because then there would be twice as much love.'



Awwwwwww

awwwwwww that is soooo cute, i wonder what made him come up with that? they grow up so fast

 

[soph77]

Guess what I did last night....

I got home from my dance class and dh was on the computer looking at boat stuff. I told him to hurry up and come 'give it to me wild-style' then you can go back out and do boat stuff.

He came (pardon the pun) and did his stuff and off he went back to the computer.

I squirted some preseed into a softcup and popped it in, then I reached into my bedside, pulled out my trusty vibrator and sucked those spermies up good and proper with a big fat orgasm!!!

Kai is very sweet and sensitive. Before our wedding he used to call dh Dave. After the ceremony Kai went up to him and said, 'Thank you Dad for marrying my Mum'. Made us all cry, and he has called him Dad ever since.

 

[Tanikit]

Soph so glad you got the job - that is great. Let us know how it goes - when do you start? That is so cute what Kai said - he sounds adorable.

Lucky hope you have a good time with your cousin and her son.

My DD was sick last night and I my sugars went very low in the night so my poor DD was up trying to sort out a vomiting daughter and an unresposnsive wife - poor man. I was late for work today cause I overslept too, but everyone at work was late today so I didn't feel too bad.

Took a second pregnancy test today and the line came up immediately and much darker than last time, so that makes me feel a bit better. DH still does not believe I am pregnant even despite the lines.

 

[Nixilix]

Good morning girls. Got a faint second line this morning. Not convinced cause I feel very af like and doubtful becaus of mc in April. I will get a test this afternoon as used ic this morning.

How are we all on thus glorious sunny day?

Congrats tanikit! Xxxx I sent you a msg
