Wishing, wanting, waiting.....TTC for a year PLUS!

[honeybee28]

haha, how did you even find that out?!

Well now, I thiiiiiink it was called poppers. Something that you sniff, you inhale the fumes. It's totally legal. I believe. I might have got it totally wrong though, im no expert lol.xxx

 

[Waitng4Baby#1]

Slappers & poppers!

Slapper - is a girl who is easy and puts it around. A boy slapper is just called a guy. Grrr...

Poppers - is something you sniff. I THINK it may be amyl nitrate????

 

[honeybee28]

Ooh your ex probably got laid off Honey - Countrywide didn't fare so well through the trashy mortgage ordeal. Scottsdale is very posh. I dated a guy up there too - but he is jewish. Wouldn't it have been funny if we dated the same guy?

Would be hilarious, but The American wasn't jewish. Ha, I'm a little bit glad he got laid off. He wasn't very nice towards the end. I'm going to see if I can find out where he lives through the power of facebook, hang on.....xxx

[honeybee28]

ha power of facebook is no good. Can't tell where he lives. And i'm not going to make fb friends with him. Wish I could remember..... I'll have a look at a map and see if that jogs my memory.xx

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Ah! I used to do something similar - I had a group of friends that taught me how to inhale air brush propellant! Inhaling from spray cans is only a few steps from sniffing glue, which is very sad and tragic.

Slapper is a hilarious word! I love it.

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Are we really ready to have kids? What if they do the same stupid crap we did?

Oh no, dont say that!! Well, we all survived didnt we - cant have been THAT bad

 

[honeybee28]

CHANDLER!!!!!!!

Yeah I know what you mean, but I'd like to think we have a LONG time before we worry about that. I dont know too many pot smoking, popper sniffing, slapper babies. Luckily.xxxx

 

[Waitng4Baby#1]

Honey - now THAT should have been the name of the new thread....

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Oooh Chandler is even more posh than Scottsdale! It is pretty up there.

Ahahahaha I think we should rename the thread!

i would like to wrap up by saying, we are all strong and amazing and brilliant and we are going to rock this thread and rock it right, all the way to the flipping labour ward!

Yessssssssssssss! You are killing me this morning Soph - it is hilarious that you think your DH's swimmers are stoned I have to say though, most of our friends are pot heads and none of them seem to have any trouble getting pg I like the word quandary too. I often find myself in the middle of one Like right now - unemployed but no baby to make it worth while Ah well - I'll still enjoy the time to myself! I've got big plans for my windows and blinds. They are gonna get rocked with windex. Have any of you tried cleaning windows with newspaper? I've heard it works great but I'm afraid to try it

My mum used to make us kids clean the windows with a spray bottle of water mixed with metho and newspaper. The cleanest windows you ever saw and cheap as chips to do!!

i would like to wrap up by saying, we are all strong and amazing and brilliant and we are going to rock this thread and rock it right, all the way to the flipping labour ward!

yessssssssssssss!

hahah hell yea!!

soph if you can chill out and forget about it you might as well..... it's up to you really. I havent done an hpt in about 6 months lol.

i dooo need to get some more smiley opks though. I love them, but wish they were cheaper.

Emily I thought you had gone the monitor route? I'm doing the monitor now too, I love gadgets.

co-inky dink

I have never heard co-inky dink before! I think I just found a new word for my favourite list. I am going to try really hard to weave that into todays conversations.

Yeah I know what you mean, but I'd like to think we have a LONG time before we worry about that. I dont know too many pot smoking, popper sniffing, slapper babies. Luckily.xxxx

hahaha, you are making me laugh so hard I nearly peed my pants a little, jk

 

[honeybee28]

I am using the monitor, but I'm going away soon and it's easier to use opks rather than the monitor.

HOpe you have a good day at school!!!xxxx

 

[Lucie73821]

Hey Lucie, you mentioned a problem that your dh has... I've never heard of it before.... what does it mean?
How did soy compare to clomid?

xxx

Here is how mayoclinic.com defines it. "A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, the loose bag of skin that holds your testicles. A varicocele is similar to a varicose vein that can occur in your leg.

Varicoceles are a common cause of low sperm production and decreased sperm quality, although not all varicoceles affect sperm production. Varicoceles also can cause testicles to shrink. "

I had never heard of it either, until we went to the urologist.

As for soy vs clomid, I had WAY less side effects on soy. Actually I had zero side effects. I like how it seemed to do the job, all without giving me the "clomid crazies"

morning lucie. wow, that doesnt sound fun. and they're gonna operate? How's your dh coping?
awesome, so will you go back to soy? or clomid?

hi everyone else! any news? I'm so sleepy this morning, reaaaalllly dont wanna go to work.xxxx

Wow this sure is an active thread!

As for how dh is coping, he seems to be ok with it. Also, I forgot to mention that he will also be put on clomid for three months. I'd never heard about men going on clomid before. The urologist said it will help improve his numbers. His count and morphology are low. The dr. said that there's about a 70% chance or better that his counts will increase. I am just keeping my fingers crossed it works.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

KOOTCH!!!!!


Did everyone miss me???? I need to catch up on the new thread. Just popped over from the old one.

Waiting--I just wanted to say... I LOVE the quote in your siggy. It cracks me up!!!

 

[honeybee28]

Morning!!!!

wow Lucie I had NO idea men could take clomid, that's cool. 70% chance sounds pretty promising to me!!

awwww squirrel, I always miss you when you're not around hahaha.

how is everyone today? I'm at home on study leave today yey. really got to try to study though, not spend the whole day on bnb like my last study day lol.

xxxx

 

[Waitng4Baby#1]

[Waitng4Baby#1]

Morning Honey - nice to see you are having a lazay day! I am posting & running as I need to be in a conference in 23 minutes and I am still sat in my PJs in a hotel room. Speak soon.

 

[honeybee28]

Blimey - no way I could do pj to conference in 23 minutes!!! Go Go Go!!! Hope it goes ok. even the word 'conference' sounds boring to me.

[tryforbaby2]

Hello - followed you across from TTHF hope its ok! A banner would be lovely girls as Ive realised my ttc 30+ one talks about summer, and its October!! I have no ideas how to do one though??

I have so say, Im taken aback by your stories of your past, but the honesty is amazing - so glad you all feel able to do this, and certainly no-one judges you here.

Ive not led such a sheltered life, but have no story/ big secret to tell Im afraid. I dabbled in hash off & on from about the age of 14 to 21, I did acid once, as well as speed once too. Also poppers a few times - Im not sure what the actual drug is called. Mainly I was just fairly wild during this time, but it was all teenage stuff and mostly really heavy drinking - my god the things I got up to, and with random people. I dont think I was a total slapper though as I never went the whole way most of the time as I have only ever slept with 7 people, but then again I met DH when I was 19 which kind of calmed me down!

I smoked like a chimney too during this time, but the time I got to 21 and left university and started work (in a Bank) I kind of became all sensible. I still like a drink, but in the last 6 months Im hardly drinking much at all. A few glasses and I go asleep.

DH led a very sheltered childhood and had never even got drunk until he met me!! Never smoked or taken any drugs.

No judgement here. Thank Goodness, because if there were we would all be nuts!!!

I am a shy girl in the bedroom department and have only slept with 3 people. I learned what I know by being with my now DH for almost all of my dating life! We learned from each other and books and such. Soooo inexperinced! LOL
I guess its good in this day and age.

ive heard sex is good for making babies though it doesnt seem to work for me!!xxx

I am going to put this on my signature

well it's so true isn't it!!!! I've had SO much unprotected sex in the last year - STILL NO BABY!!!xxx

A few overlaps Honey, eh? Thats not all so innocent.... !!

haha yeah. I think the worst was I was with a guy, serious relationship, joint mortgage and the like.
I knew it wasnt right ya know, but i was comfortable and he was nice to me so i stuck with it.
Until I went to Vegas with my friend.
I fell for this guy called J who lived in Miami, totally fell for him. Met him at the roulette table in the Luxor at stupid oclock in the morning. I had to get out of our room you see as my friend brought this guy back, i didnt want her going to his hotel so i said I'd leave them alone for a while... anyway, where was i, oh yea
Came back to England and told my bf that it was over. Obviously tricky with the house, I lived in the spare room for a while. Continued to date the guy in Miami (and I mean date, I would go over there for long weekends etc, but he never came over here). Then he moved to Arizona. I saw him a couple of times over there, but then I went on a date with (my now) dh who I had fancied forever. One thing led to another, and, well, I ended it with The American (as me and my friends all called him lol), and carried on with dh! haha!!

OMG! The American! I overlapped dating on my serious boyfriends with not so serious boyfriends in between.

Go HONEY!!!

KOOTCH!!!!!

I think I have heard of that before of me going on clomid. When does that start? The statistics sound pretty good!!!

My day is going to consist of putting pictures fromsingle picture framesinto collage picture frames and hang it on the wall so I dont have alot of frames allover my house and just have them in one or two places. Then some cleaning and such and then packing my husbands things as he is going away to West Virginia this weekend to go white water rafting. I amso nervous for him to go. I am a big baby when it comes to my husband not being with me that I get sad and miss him.
A friend of mine might be coming down to my place this weekend, we will see.
What are your plans for today/weekend?
