Tthf

[SquirrelGirl]

Hi ladies!!

Got a message from Squirrel that this thread went missing, but I found it! Hope we don't lose anyone in the process...will have to check if any posts are missing.

I'm currently working but wanted to give a quick check-in. Had a picnic Sat. and family event Sun. so haven't had too much computer time. Should be around later in the week...just didn't want you to think I disappeared!

How is everyone feeling? I'm 11DPO and still TTHF! Had some impromptu last night, and aside from TTC that hasn't happened in a long time spontaneously...soooo...either the Maca is working or TTHF is working.

Will catch up very soon.

Yay, glad to see that it looks like most everyone made it back! Also glad to see it wasn't just me that went crazy thinking I'd lost the TTHF thread! Maybe you all voted me out or something!

Um, I'm not quite sure if I've managed to catch up or not...but trying! Obviously don't feel like working today. Last week was such a hard week that I'm totally burnt out. Really, just feel like napping. Although, really, that's all I ever want to do! Anywho!

I'm 11DPO and waiting to see who will arrive first... or I'm suspecting . If so, I will be calling the fertility specialist. Took an IC HPT a few minutes ago and I'm feeling ok about it at the moment, though.

Honeybee - glad to hear you had such a fun weekend!

BBDdreams - keep us posted, hun.

Tryfor- I'm all psyched about your impending digi post on your test thread!

Tanikit/Celtic - What is Eltroxin? Is that for thyroid? Oops, nevermind!! Just saw that you already answered this. Sorry!

Thanks soph, thats how I feel as well, I sometimes still picture the old me then look in the mirror and go whoa who the hell is that!!! LOL time to get healthy even if I lost a stone Ild feel so much better I think Im very small in height so cant really afford to carry extra weight. Its so hard to shift it sometimes. I did really well after christmas lost nearly a stone and have stalled now and no matter what I do it creeps up again. I will defeat it and get my body back! then prob get pregnant and start all over again

I feel the same way!! Was on a health kick for a bit (in conjunction w/ Squirrel Girl's yoga journal) but kind of let it fall apart the last week or so. I feel the same way...uncomfortable. Vow to get back on track, though! I'm sure if your thyroid is off and you start taking the supplements it'll get better. Feel like the older I get, the harder it gets.

In other news. I'm officially out for the month. On the bright side, I get to keep TTHFing with all of you. Let the Party begin.

Aww, squirrel. I totally love your PMA! Here, let me find a fun smilely, just for you:

Jaimie - you always have such kind and witty responses to everyone..thanks for being such a sweetheart.

I second that!

See my new avatar!!!!!

Very nice!! I only found a nice cartoon one. Where are you guys getting all the pretty pics? I googled "pregnant images" and the image below popped up. Freaked me out a bit.Was expecting to see something lovely.

Also, LOVE the bird story. I nominate it for top 3 TTHF stories of all time!

We soooooo need to get back into the yoga thing. Yes, need to recommit............. soooooo hard, but we just gotta do it!!!! any day now....


Apparently I didn't hit the plus sign, but I also wanted to say that quote from the comedian about never ask a woman if she's pregnant unless a baby is waving from between her legs was absolutely hysterical (and true!!)


Well, I'm off to get some dinner. Hope you're all doing well!

 

[Moondance]

Wow, I go to sleep for 1 whole night and 2 extra pages are tacked onto the thread....

I still haven't had a temp rise, ovulation is now 2 days late. Dunno what to do now...

Hows everyone elses 2WW, Ovu-waits and other things?

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Aw, thanks Julia! You are going to be a brilliant Mom two times over. I'm still super excited for you!

And one of my best gals, the one I started ttc with, well - not with her but at the same time , she gave birth to a baby girl yesterday! I cried with joy for her when she told me. I was so happy for them - and super glad I didn't take it too hard. I was worried about how I'd react when the news came. Everyone is happy and healthy and you just can't help but be grateful for that.

MyTurn - we would never vote you out! This isn't survivor silly! Were you the one posting about that or was it Squirrel? Pretty good season finale, but I'm still annoyed the girls didn't gang up on Russel

Hope you see your temp rise soon Moon!

 

[LuckyD]

Lucky, my bro is older than me and no, he didn't apologise. I have a bruise on my hand from the can he threw, and also on my wrist where he bit me. A little semi circle of purple bruises from each of his teeth on the one side of my wrist. He doesn't even remember doing it, the jerk.

And uber congrats on the job! Wish I could find one!

So sorry to anyone whose out this cycle.... stupid witch. Hate her. I hope she doesn't come for me this time... but who knows.
But yes, I was supposed to ovulate yesterday, so I started temping mid week, just for confirmations sake. I wasn't able to get with DP during last week, so we were just going to take the loss on this cycle and not worry about it. But his horse, Billy, had his barrier trial today, so I went down to be cheering section for the gorgeous boy (he's my horses direct brother).
We of course, had the nooky, as always.
Temps haven't given me temp spike yet. And although having sex ONCE before ovulation is a long shot, here's hoping it works.
A few hours after the sex, had pains in my right side that felt like ovulation pain. Just not sure.

Sorry about your brother Moondance...that's really not cool!
Hey, I have heard HEAPS of stories about people getting pg from only one BD session..you just never know!

Um, I'm not quite sure if I've managed to catch up or not...but trying! Obviously don't feel like working today. Last week was such a hard week that I'm totally burnt out. Really, just feel like napping. Although, really, that's all I ever want to do! Anywho!

Aw, sorry about the BFN love...I hate those things! But glad that you are feeling ok about it. We must be pretty close to each other in terms of our cycle..I am 11/12 DPO today...am playing the waiting game too. Fingers crossed xx

Yes, I can see why you were freaked out by that image coming up when you googled 'pregnant images'! Is that for real? Is it someone who has had a sex change? Or is it just a digitally altered photo?

I see if I can find them LOL I took some for my sister when I was in Australia to show how I was getting bigger here we go I have 3 bump 1st is just a bump Im about 30 something weeks
2nd is about 36 weeks
3rd is about a week before I had her and last one is DD just born! hot off the press so to speak!

Awwwwww! SO gorgeous! You look lovely with your bump! And your daughter is adorable x

Thanks for all the lovely comments on my pictures, I hope no one minded me posting them, If I have upset any one Im very sorry, I just have been reading how one person was asked questions on her pregnancy and one girl who had a MC and was rightly feeling crap mentioned that BFP etc were not mentioned in the thread, it got well out of hand , sadly and one person is banned for a little while. but it has made me concerned just in case Ive upset some one, I know how hard TTC is but even harder when its is your first ok so I hope Im not digging a hole LOL

Well, I can only speak for myself but I loved seeing them...! It makes me happy that you have such a lovely family and would never begrudge you that! You are always so generous and caring about others, no-one could accuse you of deliberately trying to upset anyone.

And one of my best gals, the one I started ttc with, well - not with her but at the same time , she gave birth to a baby girl yesterday! I cried with joy for her when she told me. I was so happy for them - and super glad I didn't take it too hard. I was worried about how I'd react when the news came. Everyone is happy and healthy and you just can't help but be grateful for that.

Aw Jaimie, I am so happy for you...happy for your friend that all went well, and happy that it felt better for you than you thought it would. You are a good friend xx hope you get to have a cuddle soon

Hey to everyone else!

Julia I hope you are doing well!! I like hearing from you - how are those symptoms treating ya?

AF has not arrived for me yet...today is when I would expect her, if I take into account the fact that I O'd two days later this month. So I dont' know. I do have cramps and sore BBs, so not hopeful. But am ok about it. The good news is that it means my LP is at least 11/12 days, cos I was worried it may go down to 9! So can stop worrying about that.

Hope y'all are doing well today. I am trying to enjoy my last week of not working - I think things are going to get pretty busy as of next week!

 

[Moondance]

Hope you see your temp rise soon Moon!

Me too, otherwise I'm out for this cycle before I even hit the 2WW!

Lucky, my bro is older than me and no, he didn't apologise. I have a bruise on my hand from the can he threw, and also on my wrist where he bit me. A little semi circle of purple bruises from each of his teeth on the one side of my wrist. He doesn't even remember doing it, the jerk.

Did she take any bloods to check? I say she is right but it would be better if you knew which ones were unblanced so you could correct them and get back on the TCC wagon!

 

[CelticNiamh]

Moondance Im have every thing crossed you get a rise tomorrow so you wont be out remember though the can live up to 5 days in the right conditions how I got my DD

LuckyD thanks hun, I prob panicked a little after reading that other thread ooh glad to hear LP is behaving as I know that was worrying you. although Im hoping that you wont get a vist from the at all

Jaimie how are you doing so cool about being happy about your friend and enjoy the cuddles when you see her and bub

Hello to every one else how are you doing today

Well I am just back from the doctor, I love my doctor she is lovely and very good, she took bloods to check thyroid function, Smear and swab she also said that although I may not be a diabetic I may have a low tolerance to sugar and its effecting me IE recurrent thrush so she want me back on the diabetic diet for now it will help me lose weight as well starting to day after I finish my two treats now
On a good note my cervix looked great but I have some bloody discharge I will have results in a weeks so FX all is ok and Im kinda hoping the internal will sort me out

My friends are coming down today as well I can not wait going to be all chatted out later on yay

Hey Anna, well I am glad that at least you may be on the way to figuring out what is going on! Hope your test results give you some answers. Sorry if you have to take a TTC break - but I guess it is good to make sure your body is behaving as it should!

Oh my god, I read that thread too - yikes! I can see why you got a bit worried, but I don't think it is the same thing at all! Don't worry love

That is great that you have such a good Dr - makes such a difference. What does the diabetic diet involve? So - results in a week? Hope that you get some clear and easy answers. Enjoy the time with your friends! That sounds great.

 

[tryforbaby2]

Jaimie I am so glad you were ok with it also. If I may ask, what plans for TTC do you have this month? I have several softcups left if you'd like me to mail them to you!? Have you ever tried the digital opk's? It has made me think they have had to help. It showed I O'd 5 days before I always did/do. If I didn't use them I wouldv'e waited until CD16 ish to start BD to save DH's energy!! Glad I didn't.

LuckyD Yay! for the longer LP! Maybe if us gals hold hands in a small circle and chant for the witch to stay away, maybe she will?......I really don't want her to show for you... I like to check in on my friends in ttc even though I haven't even fully ventured into the pg threads. I want to walk in first tri with my girls, hand in hand. I don't want to make new friends again. I'll quietly wait for you gals. I only will talk about pg in my hpt thread for now until I move my butt to first tri. Last week of not working - enjoy!!! And again,HUGE Congrats on your new job!!!!

Niamh, Super Glad your appt went ok! And I hope after your internal you will be all cleared out also!!!

Moon, do you do any other charting, opk's to help you pinpoint Ovulation?

Squirrel, I do Yoga! Twice a week at 930am! Gentle Yoga it's called and I love it, even though some positions can hurt alittle. I used to do Zumba (intense aerobic/hip hop dance) but with the intese abdominal workout/moves I stopped for awhile incase it was harming me during ttc. I skipped yoga for the two classes last week b/c DD was sick and because my mind was occupied with other things! Glad to see you are going to go back to Yoga! Have Fun!

Anna, my fingers are crossed for you to get back great results with a positive heads up to be able to ttc without any problem! Good Luck!

:wave: myturn! TTHFwBB all they way for you!

thanks hun, i just hope i am still able to have children as i would like one more

 

[tryforbaby2]

Anna, I hope so too! Children are a blessing and I wish and pray for us girls to have what we dream.

Doctors always run late, you should see my doctors. Appointments are 10 minutes max, unless you specifically book for something longer. Usually though you phone for the appointment, can't get in for at least 2 weeks, then when you go, you wait for 45 minutes only to be in the doctors office for less than 5 minutes and leave with so many pieces of paper for scripts and referrals you feel like you'll drown.

Moondance Im have every thing crossed you get a rise tomorrow so you wont be out remember though the can live up to 5 days in the right conditions how I got my DD

I can only hope!
*sings, "Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I'll ovulate tomorrow, its only a day away!"*

Moon, do you do any other charting, opk's to help you pinpoint Ovulation?

OPK's don't like me. I have a hard time reading them as they always look positive to me... Horrible things. I can't afford a CBFM... I just use CM and temping.

 

[honeybee28]

here i am!!! Sorry, me and dh had a huge row last night that carried on to this morning, didnt have time to check bnb. rubbish. i feel really shitty. i know it'll be ok, but i hate feeling like this and i know he's hurting too. blaaaaah. im just so highly strung sometimes, and he can get so moody, and we're both jealous people grrrrrr. We just need to spend a bit more quality time together i think.

so i had a mars bar and a can of fizzy pop for breakfast to cheer myself up lol.

ive had 5 phone backs about jobs, need to go and ring them all back, thank you for your good wishes everyone, fx it helps me! and work is so stressful gaaaah.
oh and get this, i saw a job on a website, doing what i do now, that pays £5k-£10k pa more than im on now. i contacted the consultant about it, it's only with my fecking company!! The cheek of it. Will talk to my boss when ive calmed down.

enough whinging from me!!!!

fun stuff.....Im going to see my friends house last night, it was a ramshackle when she bought it and she's been working on it for a year now. havent seen it in about 6 months im soooooo excited to see the progress.

hope you ov soon moon! have you tried digi opks, they're really good!!

hey tryfor, hope you're doing ok hun.

niamh, that's wierd about the ewcm! what's that all about!!

hey everyone else!! Right - hi ho hi ho, it's back to work i go.

catcha later alligators.xxxx

 

[bbdreams]

Okay, so I have been avoiding this thread... I do not want to spread the sadness and depression that I am feeling amongst those tthf that don't want to hear about it. If someone could tell me how to link my journal to my sig I would link it, so that those who want to can read it.

 

[Annamumof2]

omg it's sooooo hot today

 

[CelticNiamh]

Anna hun thats pants, what is with that telling you she assums your hormones are prob all over the place yet does not take bloods to check did she mention it was prob the depo at all. hope you get some answers but it looks to me she is ruling out an infection or may be something else by doing the swab and smear. but to get a full picture she should have taken bloods I hate that your still in limbo land so fustrating!!! hey what or who is Skye LOL

LuckyD I know it was mad I was a little shocked really mental how things can get out of hand! the diet is a very basic bland diet so I need to eat foods low in carbs and sugars and saturated fats and more food high in protein. so swap all bread to brown rice, pasta, bread no sauces clean healthy living no sweeteners or fizzy drinks either I have to put my hand up and say I drink way to much Pespi Max my only vice. Yep Im very lucky she was very good I feel I will have some answers now.

Tanikit may be you have some advice for me on diet or do you have to watch yours that much

Tryfor thanks hun, I have to check your thread did you do a digi yet, I was thinking you might get the ones we have with the how many weeks you are off ebay may be! oh and it worked for you LOL

Moondance, have you ever got tested for PCOS I am not 100% but I think if you always get positive OPKS it can be a sign of it might be worth looking in to may be hopefully you wont need to though FX


bbdreams oh Hun we are here for you, I for one do not mind if you are feeling down and need to share Im am going to look for your journal if you want just post a link in your post I'm not sure how to link it to your sig! Im sorry your feeling so down

Oh I havent a clue what wrong with me LOL may be the MACA I should know I guess in a few days. Im going to temp just so I can check LP wont be in the TWW though as deffo not trying !

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Jaimie I am so glad you were ok with it also. If I may ask, what plans for TTC do you have this month? I have several softcups left if you'd like me to mail them to you!? Have you ever tried the digital opk's?

Sa-weet Julia I would love to use you super lucky softcups! Alright - I can already hear you gals saying "ick" - I'm assuming I can purchase your unused cups, right Julia? I'm PM my addy to you - send them whenever you get a chance.

Speaking of addresses - I'm going to ask you ladies to send me yours we can send around a card of congrats for Julia!! Just send me a PM if you'd like me to put your address on the list for the card. I'll send the card out along with the list and then the last person can send it to Julia. Does that sound alright ladies?

Okay, so I have been avoiding this thread... I do not want to spread the sadness and depression that I am feeling amongst those tthf that don't want to hear about it. If someone could tell me how to link my journal to my sig I would link it, so that those who want to can read it.

Aw BB! I'm perfectly fine with you sharing your true, honest feelings right here in TTHF. That first word is trying - not only or exclusively having fun! This TTC shite is hard stuff, we all want to support you, no matter how you are feeling.

here i am!!! Sorry, me and dh had a huge row last night that carried on to this morning, didnt have time to check bnb. rubbish. i feel really shitty. i know it'll be ok, but i hate feeling like this and i know he's hurting too.

oh and get this, i saw a job on a website, doing what i do now, that pays £5k-£10k pa more than im on now. i contacted the consultant about it, it's only with my fecking company!! The cheek of it. Will talk to my boss when ive calmed down.

Woa HoneyBee - I'm so sorry! I totally feel for ya after all the fussing I had with my DH last week. It is the worst when your current position pays less than what they are offering for new people!!! You definitely have grounds to discuss it with your boss. Do you think you'll let him know you found out because you were looking for other jobs that pay more? I hope they show you how valuable you are by giving you a raise to keep you. That happened to my DH once - it was awesome

Niamh - I hear what you are saying but you have no reason to be nervous with us. We asked you for your bump pics and there are no rules in TTHF about not announcing and all that. I understand the threads where announcements and tickers and all are blocked, but I'm glad we can share that stuff with each other in here. I think your advice to Anna was quite good - I hope the results of your swab are good Anna but it would be nice if they could do your blood work (is it day 21 or something like that?) to make sure your hormones are doing what they ought to.
