Tthf

Wee! Welcome Dee! I think it is fun that we've got Titi and Dee on here just after a few BFPs : ) I know Titi and Dee from the LTTTC thread that Titi started. Oh, and I "met" Titi when I was stalking SA result threads. HoneyBee's DH is getting one / just got one, right?

Titi - my brother works in a heroin treatment clinic in Syracuse, NY. He's been doing that for about 7 years. You've been watching some crazy pregnancies from the sidelines hon. I can't wait to see you get in the game and show them how it is done! I really dig what your DH says though - that there is some lesson in that experience for those women. And there is some lesson in this LTTTC for us...it is little consolation though!:hugs:

I'm calling Squirrel Kootch from now on :haha:

Niamh - I'm so glad you've gotten into the swing of not knowing where you are in your cycle so quickly. I'm really glad you are able to back off from this TTC insanity. Gives me hope that I can do that too!

LuckyD - glad you'll have us for that awesome day when we all have gorgeous babies, plenty of free time, and the money to visit you in New Zealand : ) I can definitely see how your line of work would lead you to want to raise a child in a loving, stable home. Can't wait to see you achieve that goal hon :thumbup: Same with TryFor, I'm so glad she is raising her children much differently than what she grew up with.
 
Hi Titi,

I've read back a few pages and was in stitches! Will have to start reading from the top.
 
yeah jaimie his SA is on 21st July, but that's around when i'll be ovulating so he'll have to move it.

im 13dpo today niamh, expecting af tomorrow or at the weekend, i think this will be one of the months that i cry when she shows but I'll get over it and by next week i'll be looking forward to ov. it's a waiting game isnt it? im waiting for af. then i'll wait for af to go. then i'll be waiting to ov. then it'll be the 2ww. grrr.

on the plus side, i have a new ice cream to try today, cinnamon caramel waffle yum. welcome dee!! My real name is Emily and i am addicted to ice cream.

Julia how are you today my love? Did i tell you im loving your choices for names? i certainly thought it! They rock.

lucky ive started saving for our trip to your land already lol.

xxx
 
My real name is Emily and i am addicted to ice cream.
:icecream::rofl:

That was hilarious Emily! I really like TryFor's name choices too.

And yes, it is a very evil waiting game, especially when many of us waited a while to even start trying...

Our house is very close to the hill they shoot the fireworks from so I'm inviting a bunch of friends over. There is also a block party down the road that I might check out. What are everyone else's weekend plans?
 
haha cant believe there's an ice cream smiley yesssss!!!

that sounds like a fun weekend! Will you be having a few drinks!? dh and i are going out for dinner and drinks tomorrow night with another couple, then having my hair cut at the weekend, going for a picnic if it's sunny, and studying too.

how about everyone else?
 
Yea, I will make a batch of sangria because I've heard that red wine helps with implantation:haha: We are also going to have watermelon gazpacho! Yum!

So I've been rockin' some killer bloat lately. And all sorts of gastrointestinal gurgling. I've read that this stuff is caused by progesterone ~ it relaxes the muscles around the intestines.

Titi - your ticker says you are 1 DPO. Does that jive with ovacue? Do you feel like you've adequately iced your kootchcake?
 
jaimie thats so funny coz i've totally had more gurgling than normal this cycle. funny that it's linked to progesterone. maca must DEFINITELY increase progesterone.

mmmmm sangria! yum!
 
To all the darling lovely ladies who try MACA.... How does it work and what does it do??
And what does it taste like, also! LOL

I'm considering maybe taking it.... Not sure. I don't do well with tablets, and could probably only handle taking the powder if it was actually soluble... but if I can find it in a liquid somewhere then maybe... I'm just starting to be very put out by my stupid cycles. Cycle Day 31 and no ovulation has been seen. My temps have been crazy erratic. I mean, I know having thrush sucks, but surely it couldn't be doing this to my cycle??? I really doubt thrush can affect a womans ovulation! But otherwise, I don't know whats going on.
Should ring the doctor and find out if my swab tests are back yet. I am so confused and starting to become really discouraged by this whole process because my body is being so stupid its making me feels like its entirely my fault that I'm not pregnant yet.
 
Hiya Dee welcome to TTHF, we are all a little bonkers here but have a lot of fun.

Honey - Mmmmmm icecream, I have just eaten a yummy bowl of green and blacks chocolate icecream, yum yum.

Moon - sorry your cycles are getting you down, maybe maca might help things for you x

Jaimie the only major gurgling I have had recently was due to the fact that lunch didn't happen till 3pm, I was not pleased.

just been harvesting fruit from the garden, had strawberries, tayberries and rasberries, also picked my first cabbage but everything is getting so dry in all this hot weather and no amount of watering seems to help.
 
Wow Ejay - your garden sounds amazing! Hope you get some rains soon. I would be hella cranky if I didn't get lunch till 3 pm!!

Moon - Titi gets a liquid form of Maca from Whole Foods - I don't think you have that chain though. But liquid forms do exist.
 
my garden is not huge but I have tried to make the best use of space, can't help the weather though and sometimes it's a bit frustrating when things don't do that well.

FRIDAY tomorrow yeh, yippie doo
 
Hy!
Jaimie-I THINK I am on 1dpo-I didn't temp this cycle or opk in my quest to TTHF! and am just relying mostly on my body symptoms and the Ovacue. It actually does seem to be closer this month-but for $374usd it hasn't told me anything I didn't already know!

I would love to "chat" sometime about your brother's insight, etc. My brother is in recovery from Heroin addiction, although he doesn't ever manage to get much time together but hoping yet again this time is the charm. OOPSIE sorry girls that is not very TTHF! : )

No big plans yet for 4th except family party. We normally act like really old people on the holidays but think things need to change now that I am TTHF!!! I just want you to know that I always say or think TTHF! Just like we put it here TRYING TO HAVE FUN!!!!! All loud and exclamationy!!!!!!!
 
See, you fit right in Titi because LuckyD has a self-described exclamation point problem. The other funny thing about TTHF with exclamation points is that in my mind, when I read that, it sounds like we are trying TOO hard to have fun but we are really just super duper TTC obsessed freaks. That cracks me up, because it is very true for me at times. But overall this thread really has made it all much more amusing and does remind me to chillax...
Glad you were able to give up temping and opks this month!

I'll have to ask my brother if he has formed an opinion on what works for recovery...really hope your brother is able to get onto a better part of his life.

Ejay - I feel like today is Friday! Wish it were...
 
omg you guys are hilarious. my cupkootch needed icing last night but i was asleep by the time dh got home lol.

sorry soph, i caved and tested already, 12dpo BFN!!! Rubbish. Am a bit upset about it, esp coz the only spotting ive had this month was 10dpo and it was different to previous months, it was like a gush of brownish cm. so in my head, i was like ooooh maybe IB. but, obviously not or it wouldve showed up today on a sensitive test. grrrrrrr. Im sad. will be on to cycle 8 by the weekend.

Sorry hun :hugs: I caved this morning and tested too, got a bfn of course. Was gutted. I actually did a htp 2 days ago because I couldn't resist and got an evap which I had never had before and fooled myself into thinking that that was the start of my bfp. ME = IDIOT! I did get some ultra sensitive tests in the post today so, of course will keep testing, but yes, I am totally gutted today :(

Thanks! Glad you think he's hot and DD is adorable!!! ;) He's my sexy Italian!!!

Julia, I have a sexy Italian too. I call him my Italian Stallion.

Watch out kootchcakes, I was more worried of making a volcano in there! (7th grade science experiment involving baking soda and vinegar!).
SOPH-I know it sounds scary but keep in mind at 34 and ttc 20 cycles I would actually probably stick a real actual firecracker up there if you promised I'd have a baby 9 months later!!!!!!!! And don't worry Squirrel-I did it two cycles and got itchy one cycle. And I went CRAZY with it that cycle-I did it a zillion times and used way to much BS.
I WAS itchy and a little sore (could have been mild thrush, IDK) about a week later but oddly enough really tight (sorry tmi) at the same time which was very strange side effect?!?!?!?

Titi, I need to apologise hun. I am sorry, that was totally insensitive of me. After my bfn today I am already willing to change my stance on the bsf with my toxic vagina! I am now officially willing to stick a firecracker up my clacka too! And on second thought, if the bsf did cause a swollen fat vajayjay and a pregnancy, wouldn't that make labour easier? The baby would just fall out! No need for pushing.

oooh lucky me, another day at work listening to old preggo whinging that she's fat. im so jealous of he big ol baby bump. she's actually on a diet, can you believe that. says she doesnt want to put on too much weight. hmmmmm.

omg Emily that woman need to be kicked in the head! A little drastic, maybe, but htat is how I am feeling this morning :gun:

wow, am I addicted to BnB. My OH is impatient to leave, but I sent him on an errand just so I could get my BnB fix in before we go!!! Sad, isn't it! But I love you ladies! I laugh out loud every time I'm on this thread! :thumbup:

Will miss you too Kootchgirl, have a great time!



I don't "want" to get huge, so I "plan" to continue walking as much as possible, but geez, you have to put on weight for the baby! That's so selfish to diet or restrict your calories solely to not "let yourself go". GRRR to people like that. :growlmad:[/QUOTE]

I have lost control of my multiquotes! I am not sure who said the above but I am with you! I love my walking and I plan on continuing that with my pg, and my belly dancing. I was one of 'those' girl who didn't put on anything when pg with Kai, but I was only 23! I have a feeling that I am going to be one huge mamma this time around!

Yeah, didn't mean that it's not good to be healthy and stuff, I just meant that surely the priority should be keeping your baby healthy instead of not putting on weight, which is kind of what Heidi Klum was saying. But then again, I have read of women in New York paying Drs to do (illegal) early c-sections so they can skip the last couple of months of pregnancy weight gain. Absolutely insane.

:saywhat:

That really really makes me mad! How stupid and selfish can people be?!??!!? Freakin' early C-Sections?!??!!! Those are the types of people who should have a hard time having a kid, or they should be banned from having kids if they are going to be so selfish. Why do those of us who would be wonderful, caring moms have such a hard time!

This is just freaking insane, now these woman REALLY do need to be shot on the head! :gun: :growlmad:

Hi Ladies,
May I join you? Titi pointed me your way and what I've read so far is hilarious!
I'm 34 and DH is 36 we've been TTC no. 1 since March 08. Hope you'll have me.:flower:

Welcome Dee! Hope you like it here, we are a crazy bunch :wacko:

on the plus side, i have a new ice cream to try today, cinnamon caramel waffle yum. welcome dee!! My real name is Emily and i am addicted to ice cream.

lucky ive started saving for our trip to your land already lol.

Emily, you know how I can't eat ice cream? Well last night I went to go for my walk and discovered that at this place where I walk they have a gourmet food market in the evening on the 1st and 3rd Thurs of every month - yay! I love food nom nom!
Welllllll..... This seller had all natural home made ice creams, that I taste tested and NO HEADACHE! The best was vanilla bean and vodka, nom nom nom nom nom. The worst was I didn't take my money walking, so have to wait 2 more weeks to get some!

just been harvesting fruit from the garden, had strawberries, tayberries and rasberries, also picked my first cabbage but everything is getting so dry in all this hot weather and no amount of watering seems to help.

Ejay your garden sounds beautiful, I would love to grow my own food, but every time Ihave tried I ended up killing them :(
The only thing I don't kill are my orchids and succulents.


I am sure I have missed heaps, so HI to anyone I missed :thumbup: Happy Friday to all!
 
:hugs: Soph :hugs: I can only imagine how your hopes must have soared after that evap! I'm so sorry hon ~ but I LOVE your :gun: attitude :thumbup: I've had that my entire 2ww so far!

REALLY glad you found some ice cream that doesn't give you headaches but I wish you had an entire pint right now!

That is pretty wild that you didn't put on any weight with your first pg ~ I've never heard of that! Were your docs concerned?

Oh gosh it was too friggin funny when you lost control of your multi-quotes - you can see where there in only code for half a quote right above where you said that : )
 
I'm finding my thrush cream to be totally friggen disgusting. I have had to use the little injector tubey, filled right up and inject it inside my va-jay-jay.... and the cream doesn't GO anywhere once its in there, it just sits inside and makes your bits go back to normal inside, but then, continues staying there.
I would be so friggen embarassed to have sex, I can tell you right now.


I got one of those paper stick litmus things that tells you the PH, so I could test my va-jay-jay but currenty my va-jay-jay is full of disgusting white cream goo. Wah! Not happy! I wish I could douche it all out! But of course, douching is bad... so no! :cry:

Well I suppose I put on a little weight, but I was so skinny with a big baby sticking out in front and 3 months later I was back in my skinny jeans. I was very healthy though, ate heaps of good food and was not dieting. Just young and skinny ;) Ohhh to be young and skinny again.... But what I would give to be fat and pregnant!

Moon, we have all been there love, it is gross but you just have to ride it out. once you are all cleared up of the infection you can give it a nice wash out in the shower. Don't worry, the snatch is like a self cleaning oven, it will take care of itself.

Actually i think I remember seeing ph strips n sale on ebay, but by memory they are sold in really big packs, but I think I may look into them again.
 
oh soph!! Ive never had an evap before either, must be so annoying. how many dpo are you?
vanilla and vodka ice cream with no headache!? well that's amazing news!!!

so guess who got me in my sleep!?!? STUPID WITCH!!! [inserts plenty of swear words] I HAAAAAATE HER SHE'S RUINING MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!! I dont want to go to work and listen to old preggars whinge that shes fat because im scared i will like you know erm PUNCH HER IN THE HEAD. grrrrrrr. (pregnant tthfers, dont take that the wrong way, you know it's just coz im jealous)

I need a plan. who's on the bd every 3 days plan? might try that, i think every day is too much. maybe less is more?

moon - ahh ive been there too many times for my liking. it'll get better in a few days. eating probiotic stuff helps too hun.

anyway i've really got to go. hope you all have a super day/eve im off to TTHF!!!!!!! lol.xxxx

The snatch is evil giving me thrush.... last time I had thrush, I was 12!!!
Wondering if it has anything to do with using cloth pads for the first time...
 
Oh No Honey, that evil evil Witch, why won't she just take the hint and get lost for us all!!!!

sending you some big :hugs:

Moon - hope the thrush clears up soon :hugs:

as Soph says the vajayjay is a wonderful self cleaning oven, you will be right back to baking and icing your kootchcakes before you know it.

well gotta go to work, yey it's friday
