WTT with a view to TTC in Sept/Oct/Nov - looking for a TTC buddy!

[mazndave]

I wanted an early gender scan too Sonia, but I would honestly say don't bother! I was so impatient to find out sooner but resisted, and once I got to 20 weeks and had my scan, those 4 extra weeks I'd had to wait felt like nothing. I'd say save the money and spend it on a 3d scan instead, it's amazing to see it looking like a real baby rather than a grainy black and white silhouette! Sorry you're still feeling rough as well, I know that I've been very lucky with this pregnancy and I'm gratetful for that!

We're so proud of our nursery, can't stop going in there just to have a look at it! We're already thinking about when we may have baby no.2, and it makes me a little sad that I won't be doing another nursery unless we've moved. A lottery win would be nice for us too Jem! And yes unit's from Ikea, can't really tell on the pic but it's white gloss (which the rest of the furniture will be) and we've put colour changing downlights in the 2 squares without boxes. Thought it'd be nice for Seth to sit and watch!

Guten abend ladies,

Miss M you might be ok without pain relief. Could you try water? Personally I loved gas and air

Jem, good luck with your scan hun x

Sonia, you're pregnancy is whizzing by. I echo what MnD says about the gender. The later you leave it the more accurate they are likely to be. We had no intention of finding out but I cracked at 26 week 4D scan (gender determination was part of the package if you wanted it).

MnD I love Seth's nursery. It's lovely. I love his name too

AFM - We are now 2 and a half weeks away from D day and decided we better get the kids rooms sorted LOL Kai has all new furniture and getting new carpet. Baby needs her wall painted but we had new furniture when Kai was a year old (he only used it until 16 mths) so she just needs the decor doing. MISSIONS.

I have been booked in for my homebirth and really need to get a pool. I am soooooo not prepared like I was last time. I haven't even packed my hospital bag yet (just in case). Must do that this weekend. I have washed all our baby clothes though and crib is now down from the loft. Will have to get the car seat and travel system down soon. Eeeek

Wow a home birth! My step mum had all four of hers at home and it all went perfect!
My husband would not let me have a birth at home, just in case... Dont think he gets that any sign of trouble and your sent to hospital!
My husband doesn't do seeing me in pain... Even though I'm as quiet as a mouse, I could never scream because I'm sure he would have a heart attack! Lol
He missed out on Isla's birth because he was going to faint! Ha ha xx

Sonia and Jem - I´m in Spain so it´s not like I´m in some under developed country where things like gas and air wouldn´t be available. It´s weird because with regards to medical stuff, pregnancy related or not, everything else over here is pretty much the same as in the UK. I know I might be fine without gas and air, etc. but it´s just a bit scary knowing that even if I´m really suffering there´ll be nothing that I can do apart from have an epidural.

I found out yesterday that nappy sacks don´t exist here either. Ewwww!

Maz - we´re sticking with Emma and learning to put up with the weird looks and mispronunciations when we tell people! Your nursery looks lovely by the way! You are so prepared! We only picked up our cot this weekend and have still to put it up.

Emz - only 2 weeks to go!!!!! That has gone so quickly!!

 

[MissBroody]

hi everyone!

I haven't written on this thread in soo long! I hope everyone is doing ok?
Almost - i'm sorry to hear about that, but I'm verry optimistic about you conceiving natually! Like someone else said, your OH's swimmers are not redundant, just half how they should be - so it may just take a teensy while longer - but I know for sure you will have your baby very soon Keep us updated.

How are the pregnancies going? Emz not long til you meet your little girl!

I'm 3 days away from my due date and no signs. Feeling a bit fed up - my first son was a day old by now haha.

Take care eveyone. I hope next time I get chance to log in it will be with baby news.

Xx

Hiya ladies I hope you are all doing well i am sorry I havent posted for a while- i just needed time out and get my body relaxed- we took a month off ttc had a lovely holiday in Greece, and I went to the gym and lost a few pounds.... feeling happy, relaxed and great!
Well i think time out may have worked and may have just got our first BFP!? I testd two days ago and bfn - i think im around 12dpo now but cant really be sure as i have irregular cycles etc. Well this morning i went to the loo fmu and went quickly so I didnt give in and test lol!! Well second bathroom visit of the day- I gave in and I think I may have just got our bfp?! It was a morrisons cheap own brand 15mui test and there was a definate second line within 2 minutes- none of the usual holding it up to light/taking it apart - it was there!!! (see pic!) but just went back and it has disappeared! I dont know what to think now! Anyone heard of disappearing positives?!! Oh agreees the line was there but he wants a more definate line before he gets too excited!
I just dont know what to think!!!! think may test again monday? trying to stay grounded!

What do you ladies think-?

Have a lovely weekend xxx

 

[PreshFest]

I say that's a positive!! Eeekk! I'd get another test of different brand and test again NOW!

 

[Elz]

Definite a positive!! Test again!!!! Congrats xx

 

[Soniamillie01]

Oh I'd say so too! Go get a digital and let us know x

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

Get a digi. I deffo see a line x x

 

[sunshine82]

Thank you ladies so so much for your opinions, im hoping - really hoping this is it! the line was definately there within minutes and remained there for a good 15 mins before disappearing- how odd! I am so pleased I took this picture so I can be sure I wasnt imaging lines- after months of squinting! lol! Have bought some more tests and will try again with fmu and see for sure I guess!!

Is cramping normal girls? I am feeling a bit like af cramps- and so sorry it tmi having loads of creamy cm really dont know what to expect next if this is it!

Anways hope you are all keeping well and cant quite believe how quickly time is flying with you lovelies in 2nd and 3rd Trimesters! I wish everyone ttc loads of sticky baby dust too!

Thanks again girls and time will tell if I am joining first trimester!!! xxx

 

[Jembug]

Defo a positive, congrats!!! Mine was even lighter than that, I got a digi, didn't bother saving my wee and I got 1-2 weeks pregnant!
Keep us posted! I take it your be a march mummy?
Lots of cramping is completely normal and healthy- if that makes sense. I even had spotting and lots of cm! Ooooh im so excite for you

I've been naughty and phoned in sick tonight! I feel really sick and exhausted but now I feel guilty! I think I will hold off telling my work in pregnant because I don't want then to associate me being sick with pregnancy..... Even though I never phone in sick.
Hope your all having a good weekend xx

 

[Soniamillie01]

Definitely good signs! Can't wait for you to re test!

Jem - hope you're ok hun.

S x

 

[sunshine82]

Thanks everyone

Hi Jem, hope you feel better soon hun, sometimes you just take it easy and rest up.

Well afm I feel gutted knew I shouldn't get my hope built up re tested this morning had to visit bathroom in night so not strictly fmu I guess but used two (yep two!) sainsburys and clearly bfn's don't kno what to think now? I don't know really now and I was so happy yesterday! I have awful backache and tad low cramps just hope this isn't af coming but it's not the same..... Oh well back to reality think may test again tomorrow now? Or wait for af? I read on another post a lady who had a bfp on morrisons straightaway and stayed for ten mins like mine and then disappeared and af arrived for her I'm feeling not very hopeful but I thought a pink line was a positive?? Does anyone know how sensitive sainsburys test are I couldn't see on leaflet I read online someone said 15 that's the same as Morrison bfp?! But just read sains could be 25 mui which gives me a bit more optimism as not as sensitive?

Hope you all having a nice weekend and thanks for your advice xxx

 

[miss malteser]

I´d buy a digi sunshine. That way there´s no is it, isn´t it problems. You just get a straight yes or no. Don´t get too down just yet. As you said, your cycles are pretty irregular so you may nt even be 12dpo yet! FX

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

I always buy digi now as I found myself spending so much money on non digis because there are so many uncertainties.

Could be that it was faulty. Could be the sensitivity. Could have been a chemical pregnancy like I had. Or you could just not have enough HCG in your body yet but for some reason that test picked it up. Mmmmm that's very annoying.

I am too impatient to wait things out and had to get digi's lol I really hope you get a BFP x

 

[sunshine82]

Thanks ladies I am feeling real disheartened by it all - trying to be positive as I know my cycles are irregular - maybe I should have held or fmu this morning as had to use loo lots in night so could be too weak- here's hoping! I used another Morrison one and bfn so could have been just a faulty one will try get docs appt for tomorrow wonder if they will do a blood test? Thanks again everyone
