That's hysterical, Ejay!!What a great pic of you and your horse, too!
Ah Moondance sorry about your vajayjay issues! I got the itchy kootch a little two cycles ago when I desparately gave "baking soda finger" ttc method a try, a little overzealously. Thankfully it went away right before I was going to go to the Dr. I hope it's just thrush for you-that I think is easily enough to cure-lucky for you you are past BD time!
moon, your doc sounds hilarious!! I get thrush a lot, hope it clears up soon for you!!
titi - ive contemplated baking soda finger as i hear it's what worked for maxam!!
so i got my bloodwork back today. my progesterone is totally normal! I was convinced it would be low as it was low on cd2 and i spot before af. but it's 78 and i think she said normal range is from 30 - 80 so it's at the high end of normal, that's cool. i asked about the spotting, she said if i always have it and as my progesterone is ok it's nothing to worry about. i've still got it but less than in previous months so the maca is working.
Squirrel you should try it too!!
they'll do hubs SA towards the end of the month, then look at checking out my tubes etc
Titi, glad you're starting THF! thats good.
hey everyone else! How's it going? How ya doing tryfor?
What's for dinner? Left overs for me!! and a bit of ice cream i think. i eat a bit of ice cream everyday, is that bad!?
ahhh the babies and the bumps! the pregnant girl who sits next to me at work talks to her bump all day long and it makes me soooo jealous. ahhh. and i had a cuddle with a bub that was less than a week old on monday. i thought about running off with him but my heels were too high for me to get anywhere fast.
Lucky ahhhh thanks so much hun, hard to believe I'm 35 today makes me a little sad I thinkI hate getting older but hey who doesn't PML
hopefully this is my year
sending
to us all
Aw, sweetie 35 is still young! Hope that you had a lovely day and got nice and spoilt. And I hope this is your year too xx
Hey lovely! I am doing pretty good thanks, just crusin....on CD11 I think so going to start OPKs tomorrow. Thanks for the comment about the photos my OH is really into photography and even had a roller derby photo exhibition last year, so his camera always makes things look even nicer than they are in real life! Yep, job is not without its share of challenges...but thats ok, I had a bit of a down week with it last week but feeling better now! I have just spent so much time over the last six years working with young people...when I really just want my own little young person to worry about!LuckyD,How are you? I always love the pics you post because they are always so pretty! I see your job keeps you on your toes, do you like it?
Lucky - did you ever get the snorks cartoon in NZ as a kid? It was a knock off version of the smurfs. snorkel is a super fun word! Love your "growing tube" - yet another hilarious kiwi phrase. We just call those green houses here - but I will call them growing tubes from here on out, because that is far better!
Totally got The Snorks! I used to watch that when I was young. Did I call it a growing tube? I mean to say grow tunnel we do call them greenhouses too but that particular type we call a grow tunnel! But growing tube works too....
Hey love, how nice to hear from you, and how nice to hear that the break has been good for you that is awesome. Yay for going away - happy anniversary! Where did you go? Sounds like a lovely weekend and a perfectly timed O as well!:wave: Just dropping in to say hello to all my tthf girls! I am missing you girls, but I have been in a such a better frame of mind since taking a break. I have not been obsessing... just tthf on my own!
DH took me away for the weekend for our anniversary! We had so much fun, and I haven't felt so relaxed in a long time and I even ov'd over the weekend. Now, I am just staying busy cleaning house, doing homework for my research class, and getting ready for vacation. I have more faith than ever in God that it is his will for us to conceive and that we will.
Anyway, love to you girls.I am always thinking of you.
and
's for everyone!
Here's a question for everyone: If you won a million dollars but had to give it away (to anyone (one person only) - not an organisation though) who would you give it to and why? And more importantly what would you do about the people who were upset that you didn't give it to them?
Oooh, thats such a hard question. But if it was a person that I had to give it to, not an organisation, I would have to be boring and say my Mother too. My Mum was a single mother to me and my two brothers and we also grew up without much money. My Mum is one of those people that does things for others all the time...but doesnt do nearly enough for herself. I would love her to take some time out for herself, and do some travelling, and not to have to constantly worry about money. I dont know what I would do about those that were upset! I actually would hate to win the lottery as I think it would be really stressful.
also, funny story. so i talk in my sleep A LOT. Last night, just before we went to sleep i was helping dh with some work, he was preparing questions as he's interviewing for a new person on his team at work. we were up til about midnight and i was really trying to help and i was so tired. it had obviously got stuck in my head, i fell asleep and woke up in the night saying 'are any of your team mates going to come in here', hubs (who's very used to me talking in my sleep) answered 'no, of course they're not silly', to which i answered 'good, because im going to take my top off now', stripped, and fell back into a deep sleep again. lol!! I am officially crazy!!!
This is hilarious Honey! You are like my OH...he sleep talks... and also attempts other things in his sleep...if you know what I mean. Its pretty funny...he often tries it on with me in the middle of the night.
Thanks for being so supportive. It's nice knowing you all actually understand.
I saw my doctor today and she was really positive. Gave the "you didn't do anything wrong" speech...it was actually nice to hear. She did give us the go a head to start trying again as soon as we wanted to. I may want to wait a month, but DH is ready to go.
I hope everyone is doing well. I feel completely out of the loop right now.
Oh sweets xx I am glad to hear that your doctor was positive and that you are feeling ok. Totally take a month off if that is what you feel you need to do. Dont worry about feeling out of the loop as Squirrel said, just take it easy and jump in whenever you feel like it. Big hugs to you xxx
That's so awesome that you have a green house/growing tunnel/grow tube/whatever! I think it would be cool to have one (much smaller obviously) so I could get a jump start on some of our veggies in the spring!!
That guy at work made another comment today, about how I woudn't understand since I don't have kids. So I responded, "and boy do I appreciate you bringing this up EVERY SINGLE DAY!" just dripping in sarcasm. Another guy nearby laughed, but this guy didn't seem to let it register. Next time he says something, I'm going to have to calmly and directly say Please stop it. I'm afraid if he makes a comment at the wrong time (ie, right after AF arriving), I won't handle it well at all. Probably wouldn't be a good idea for me to start bawling or screaming (or both!).
And thanks for the big group hug! I love that smiley!
Yeah, we are exciting about our grow tunnel! Cant wait to plant some things!
The guy you work with sounds like a big huge knob-jockey (thats an expression I picked up in Australia). But seriously, who does he think he is? You are being very strong not to just yell at him! I cant believe he hasnt picked up by now that he is being really inappropriate. Can you take him aside and ask him to stop making comments like this? I am so sorry you have to put up with that.
hmm.... in real life, I'd give it to my sister. Just because, I'd want a family member to have it and my parents' have enough to be comfortable.
In BnB land, I'd give it to LuckyD so she could have a rockin' house for us to come hang out with her on her land!And also help her community where she works since it sounds like it's really needed.
Awww, you are the sweetest! I would build a big huge TTHF house with swimming pools and hot tubs and lots of bedrooms and of course huge playrooms for all our children to play in. That would be awesome. Hmmmm, maybe I should start buying a Lotto ticket....
Titi, thats not boring! That is a lovely and also very inspiring story. It is always so good to hear about how people have worked on their relationships I find it really useful and makes me feel positive about staying together with my OH. I feel like I dont have any good role models for healthy relationships my parents were definitely not one, neither was my Mum and my ex-Step-dad so I feel like I am kind of learning as I am going. I am really proud of my relationship with my OH and we both work hard at communication and appreciating each other (I am a counsellor and he is a psychologist, so you would think we should be able to communicate ok...), but I know that things will always be up and down over the years and I like hearing about how others have worked through the tough times.Catching up:
Enjoying reading the beginning of the thread and your stories of how you met DH/OHs. Here is my first contribution-
I met DH in 1999 when I was bartending through school and his friend worked at the same place and he would come in to visit his friend. Because we were in relationships with other people we were polite but nothing really more, although there were sparks! He came in very infrequently and it took about a year for us to each be out of relationships and he started coming in again more often. I found out he liked me to when he was visiting and mentioned he had a stereo up for sale. One of the guys asked how much he wanted for it and he said he could have it if he would just get him a date with me. He was just joking around but it got the point across. We started dating in 12/2000 and I definitely knew he was the one. We originally got engaged in 2002 and built a house in 2003 & although we were really in love DH was refusing to grow up in a few ways and was too young & stubborn for an ultimatium so we took a "relationship vacation" in 2004 & I moved out for a year. DH agreed to counseling which we went to for years and it worked wonders (he is like the model husband now!!) DH then really took his time making sure that the changes were real and not just something he was doing to keep the relationship going. I was getting impatient waiting but he kept saying he wanted to make sure he could be the man I deserved and that this time it would be forever. In Atlantis, Bahamas, in 10/07 he proposed again, a surprise on the beach. We were so excited and started planning the wedding right away in which we did everything together (bridal shows, invitations, you name it, it was so much fun!) The best was that DH told everyone we were celebrating a union of love and that it should be all about love and respect and thus he wanted in lieu of bachelor/bachelorette parties one big dual shower. It was awesome-I loved it although he got so much crap from the guys. We got married in 09/08 back on the beach and then just recently this May renewed our vows in a Catholic Convalidation ceremony at our church. Kinda boring, but that's it.......
Had a madly busy day yesterday and weekend was a bit mad. I took my young horse to a dressage competition on saturday, both her and my second ever comp, we managed 64.2% and got 6th place, I was really chuffed, especially as the difference between us and second place was only about 2%
It has been really warm these past few days, I think it has buggered up temp chart a bit, FF started to make wild guesses at when I might have ovulated, I think it was early this month and have put my guess in at CD12. Have had no sore boobs after O this month, which I always get, it really annoys me, but this is great!!
Hey Ejay, congrats on the dressage competition that is a great result! Especially as it was only yours and your horses second comp nice work!
What a hilarious doctor! She sounds like a laugh. Good luck on your test results.Had my doctors appointment today, after missing yesterdays, got in with a different doctor today. I told her my symptoms of watery discharge and itchiness. She stood up then said "drop yer drawers"
So I got on the examination table and dropped the drawers. She puts on her gloves and points a hand at me like a gun and says "spread em!" I was pmsl.
She had one look and says "You has tha thrush... or rather the thrush has you... but I swab anyway" so she grabs the swab and stuffs it in and caps it. She was so cool.
She told me to go get me some Canesten cream with the applicator, and then the swabby stick got taken down to pathology to run some tests to rule out any other problems. Results whenever!
Oh my god, thats hilarious Ejay!Thought I would post this pick of me on sunday, just to prove that pregnant women are really everywhere!!!!!

on the flip side just wanted to say!!!
but one thing I would point out when we do get pregnant and you get to 36 weeks or even before you will complain about being heavy, feeling huge, bloated and you will crave for the end. its nature way of preparing us for labour so much so we turn in to sadist who start to dance and go whoo hoo when you start to get pains and labour has started esp if you are late. just so you know it can be normal to moan at that stage and don't feel guilty if you dodoes not mean we are bad people or dont love being pregnant or baby on the way!!

This is very true thanks Niamh! I dont want our lovely ladies who have BFPs to feel that they cant have a whinge now and then about how they are feeling...I think (well, for me anyway) that its different when there is understanding involved i.e. I dont mind hearing about my friends struggles with pregnancy, as she knows that I am struggling with not being pregnant, and we make an effort to be empathetic to each others situations.
Thats awesome about your progesterone Honey! Great to hear must be good to rule that out and hear that there is nothing to worry about there.so i got my bloodwork back today. my progesterone is totally normal! I was convinced it would be low as it was low on cd2 and i spot before af. but it's 78 and i think she said normal range is from 30 - 80 so it's at the high end of normal, that's cool. i asked about the spotting, she said if i always have it and as my progesterone is ok it's nothing to worry about. i've still got it but less than in previous months so the maca is working.
What's for dinner? Left overs for me!! and a bit of ice cream i think. i eat a bit of ice cream everyday, is that bad!?
In terms of dinner...just have to share the meal that me and my OH made for our friends on Saturday night. It was a cold wintery night so we made comfort food first we had yummy cheeses and crackers, then creamy mushroom soup with garlic bread, then vege lasagne, roast potatoes and salad, then for dessert pineapple upside-down cake with whipped cream. It was delicious!
The damn hobbits...NZ will now be forever be linked with Lord of the Rings...ah well. Yep, am gonna build a huge House of TTHF for you all cant wait!Love how Sarah would give a million to LuckyD in our TTC alternate reality so we could all hang out on her land together. Ive been imagining our virtual camping expedition, but now I picture a sick lodge with stone walls and huge timbers and hobbits
I feel so naughty, I am writing this at work....but a meeting I had just got cancelled so I took a little time out to catch up as I was out last night and couldnt check in with you all!
I had a lovely time last night with my cousin she is just splitting up with her partner and father of her baby, so its all a bit full on for her right now, but it was nice to talk and spend some time together as she lives in Auckland so we dont get to see each other a lot. We had a good chat about motherhood and TTC and all kinds of stuff very interesting.
Not much other news really..CD11 today and we are meant to be following my OHs plan this month, but he forgot last night! So BD tonight instead I think.
TTHF thread is rockin at the moment...always so much to catch up on. Cant wait to see some more BFPs in here I KNOW its going to happen soon!
Love you ladies! xxxx
Ejay-love the pic of you-its so funny that I'm not the only one surrounded by bumps. Since this is TTHF! I'll share DH's lighthearted game. It's not exactly the nicest game but I think he developed it after I burst into tears in Target around cycle 12 (when I had thought I was pg, just gotten AF) when there was a lady with a lovely bump shopping next to us...... Anyway, its called "fat or pregnant?". He asks and I have to guess the answer. It's cute, b/c every now and then we will see some guy with a gigantic beer belly and dh will whisper that in my ear.
Ah Moondance sorry about your vajayjay issues! I got the itchy kootch a little two cycles ago when I desparately gave "baking soda finger" ttc method a try, a little overzealously. Thankfully it went away right before I was going to go to the Dr. I hope it's just thrush for you-that I think is easily enough to cure-lucky for you you are past BD time!
Well had a fun TTHF! BD last night. I even skipped the softcup!
also, funny story. so i talk in my sleep A LOT.

I LOLed SO SO much reading that honeybee! You are so awesome! LOL

Squirrel you should try it too!!

Titi, glad you're starting THF! thats good.
hey everyone else! How's it going? How ya doing tryfor?
What's for dinner? Left overs for me!! and a bit of ice cream i think. i eat a bit of ice cream everyday, is that bad!?

Good golly I just dont understand how you women are picturing sexy time in that filthy telescope! You must have very vivid imaginations. I'm telling you, rotting mouse carcass does not melt my loins.
ParkGirl you are handling this so well. I know you are gonna hit the jackpot again real soon, just like Nixilix. And next time it will be sticky like super glue!
Have you gals ever heard this: "When you get the stretchy stuff you have to do the sexy stuff" I saw it in a gal's siggy and thought it was awesome.
I am doing wellhoneybee thanks for asking! I am super happy about your awesome results!!! I have everything crossed (.x.) even my Vrofl
that you are pregnant!!!
I totally agree with tanikit in hoping you all move over to the next board to complain with us!
I love the stretchy and sexy comment. How come we didn't hear that ages ago! Ahahaha![]()
ahhhh tryfor i want us all to have BFPS right now then we can pick up the TTHF thread and march off to first try with it. though it wouldnt be long til you sneak off to second try huh!!! btw that pic of you and your dh is so cute he looks really hot and your dd is just so adorable!
ive googled the crap out of progesterone levels and have concluded that my levels mean nothing in terms of being UTD (love that saying too), loads of girls have had this level and even higher and not been pregnant. but at least it means im ovulating ok and if there is a bean on board it should stick. i have one hpt left! Will probably do it tomorrow or the day after and then not buy anymore ever til i have a late period!! im really not feeling optimistic though i have no symptoms at all and i had that spotting the other day, have sore boobs but always get them pre af.
i really hope that the weather is nice at the weekend, i really want to go for a picnic up on the hills and sunbathe and stuff.
Oh yeah forgot to mention that I FINALLY picked up my new car yesterday!!!!!!
She is sooooo pretty and drives soooooo smoooooooth!
I need to take some photos of her and post one for you but Dave has the car at the moment
The dealer gave me flowers and put a big red ribbon on the car for me, so cute. I took a photo on my phone but have no idea how to get it off my phone
I have to take it back down to the dealer later because we noticed there was a paint chip near the fuel tank! Not good enough, needs to be PERFECT, they will have to fix it for me.
AND we took the boat out on it's maiden family voyage on Monday. It was such a beautiful day and we just cruised around the waterways and looked at the posh houses. The water was so clear and gorgeous, if it wasn't the middle of winter I would have jumped right in! One problem... the boat engine doesn't like starting very much, but once it finally kicks over, not a problem!
I lurve LuckyD's massive multi quote threads!! Sorry I imagined hobbits at our camp on your land ~ I was feeling really silly today and could not resist. I'll go back to associating NZ with flightless birds : ) You really hit it right on the nose with "empathy" ~ that is the key for me and I think we TTHFers have it in spades : ) That is why I love y'all.
I forgot to say thanks for sharing your "meeting OH" story Titi - I thought it was fantastic. He really does sound like a great guy.
Soph - I think your car is a silver bullet! And you definitely should not bake any cakes in your vajayjay. Don't let Squirrel try and talk you into it!
