Hi Girls! Hope all is well.. I am getting excited - going to start the BD soon! LOL
My darling DP showed some interest tonight. I came on here after the gym and he turned to me and asked - Does that site tell you how to make twins?! I'd like to have twins! :) We then started talking about the names I like and he knows people called Aiden and Alexis! AHH he knows all the names I like!
Anyways, :goodluck: everyone with the :fertilise:
Isn't that just poopoo when you like a name but then either you or your dp think of someone they know, and worse still, they don't like with that name?!?! I couldn't bring myself to use names that someone we didn't get along with had!!
Still, the name you will eventually choose will end up being the only name that your little bubba should have!!:)
And big fat :ttc: for you Ngala! LOL!!:stickyvibesboy: :stickyvibesgirl:
Yeh I know what you mean charlyfrog! If you pick a name and you know someone with that name then its best that you like them. DP likes to name Josh, I HATE it tho because my ex-bf was called Josh!
I think it might be a bit too early for the sticky vibes but thanks anyways! :D
Hi
Im with you on naming .. its so hard and to tell you the truth we named Luke , Zack for about 2 hours and it just did not feel right ( I really wanted Zack so it was strange for me to change my mind) Anyway Luke was it and its perfect for him'
TTC#2 now and im fast approching Ovulation and my DH and I are like ships passing in the night right now with different shifts at work etc.. ahh going to have to get some time to BD in the next few days !!
Hopefully we all get the results we are after this month !!! how excitement.

I love the name Luke i have had some kids at work called Luke and they are always beautiful natured boys, i have 3 at the moment. Names are so hard especially if you have friends and family having or had kids it starts to limit the names... I come from a smallise town where people our age we know most of them plus mine and DP age gap all his friends have kids and he wants to have names that none of them have or that no one at our footy club has..:eek: You also don't want your child to be the 5th Ella or whatever, but if you love the name its kinda like who cares. we had 2 ellas 2 sams and 2 maxs in the same kinda group very confusing but all great names... WHATEVER YOU DO DONT BUY A NAME BABY EVEN MORE CONFUSING read paper birth notices amgazines etc.. :goodluck:
I kinda feel like my DD chose her own name, it kinda popped into my head one day when I was thinking about pregnancy, around the time we started TTC. The name - Hannah Sophia - suits her *perfectly*! Likewise with this next child, I was meditating one day and I looked down and it's like I could see my pregnant belly hanging out and inside i could see a little baby and in that instant another name popped into my head. From my research (it's a very old name) it's a boy's name, so we'll have to see...
Very exciting!
Jane and Jane (!) I've got to agree, I love the name Luke, it's strong and gentle at the same time. I have a special little godson Luke too, so also a special person to me too.
:-)
Morning girls!
Have a bit of BD last night I tried the pillow thing and I wasnt very comfortable! And I also hate sleeping on my back. haha but I managed to stay like that til the early hours of the morning and then pulled it out.
Hope all is well today!
Hi All,
Wow you girls can talk. LOL it feels like i was only just in here and now look at all those posts! But its fun, i love coming into work and reading through them all.
Ngala - i am on cycle day 11 but have been BD since cycle day 5 with only one day break so far, you can call it fun or "practicing" Dh doesnt seem to mind(so far anyway)! This is my second month temping so its a little bit more exciting because FF gives you lots more info. i totally understand what you mean about people talking to you at work and getting annoyed, especially when you are in the middle of reading a great post! No one at work knows that i am TTC so its FRUSTRATING. :angry:
Lee - Positive thoughts!! You will have a bubba in your arms before you know it.
Charlyfrog - You crack me up. :cryinglaugh: of course you are normal with all the baby stuff! As for testing, i have 35 day cycles so im not due to test for a while still. AF is due 23 Oct so will just have to keep enjoying the BD! I will also be looking forward to hearing abourt everyones :bfp:
janeo - Good luck with BD and as DP said practice makes perfect!
I never really thought about names not suiting the baby. We have decided on Mariah (as in Carey) for a girl and Joshua for a boy. The only reason i would prefer a girl slightly over a boy is to use the name Mariah. I love it so i hope it suits the bub.
Glad you tried the pillow last night ngala, LOL that you slept with it under you. I only keep it under for 1/2 hour because as you said it is not the most comfortable position.
I am so in love with DH today. :heartbeat: We had a BD session this morning as he will be home late tonight and probably wont be up for it (On wedensday we decided to BD every second day so today is due date for next session). I love how into TTC he is. I was woken by him staring into my face with a massive smile. He wispered to me, take your temperature followed by a big grin and kiss on my belly! Once he had left for work he SMS'd me I LOVE YOU! Just the fact that he remembers i have to take my temperature and reminds me is so cute. Im sorry this might sound stupid and very self absorbed but its nice when the male half is just as into it as you are.
Wow, this is one LLLLLOOOOONNNNNGGGGG post. SORRY! Well better go do some work now!
Marydean - we felt the same way about our DD - I went thru a couple of name books and read them out to DH who replied for ALL of them, "nup." Tad frustrating!!
Anyways, he picked up a book and after 10mins said our DD's name and we both burst into tears at how beautiful it was - so we knew it was the right one. Funny too, we found it so hard to pick a boys name, even though we didn't know if we were having a boy or girl until bubs was born - but even then, the boys name never gave me the same feeling that our DD's name did - our DD was meant to be!!:heartbeat:
NGala - good on you!! LOL!! Just enjoy the BD girl.....you'll catch that egg when you're supposed to!!
WalkingArt! - you have such a beautiful thing with your DH!! That's so precious and special!! I too am blessed with a softy, romantic and 'squishy' one - when I haven't worn him out - ROFL!!!!! :cryinglaugh: Yay for them!!!!....it's like they know how blessed they're gonna be when they're 'mini-them', boy or girl, pops into the world..... my DH first time around would play dance music to my belly because I'm a jazz freak, and whilst DH has come to appreciate it more, he certainly didn't get it back then so didn't want bubs to be led astray!! LOL!!
Oh and re: no one knowing that you are TTC - just a thought... smile alot thinking about the life changing event you are working towards (and all the fun in the meantime!!) - it'll probably frustrate them more wondering WT-hey you're up too!! LOL!!!
I agree charlyfrog, we are blessed with our DH!
LOL Yes I like to talk! Its probably because I have so much time on my hands here at work. I sit on messenger as well and talk a friend all day long :)
WalkingArt - your DH sounds sooo nice!! My DP did the same thing this morning, my alarm woke me up and I took my temp and the next thing he's awake asking if we should have another go at making a baby!! I explained to him that I am not fertile at the moment and we should be doing it every second day. But we decided to anyway! hehe the more practise the better hey girls! :p
It'll be good if we all announce we are pg at the same time! :pray:
Charlyfrog - I came in to work this morning with a HUGE smile on my face and I was already asked why I am so happy! I was also commented on how nice I look today (Spring has sprung today - 29 degrees! so I came to work in my summer clothes) I am the only female working with 10 other guys too, so for them to notice is a big thing! Must be beaming with excitement or something like that.
Atleast we can talk about it on here hey? It relieves some of the frustration.
ngala how funny that your workmates said that. You must have been glowing from BD! :thumbsup:
I hope to be glowing from pg soon!!
It must also be because its a long weekend over here and the weather is going to be beautiful - Sunshine here I come!! :D
It sounds like we are all around the same time with CD and when AF is approx due.:)
Ngala i am also on CD7 and Charlyfrog with my ireegular periods i always go by the date of the following month the same day as i had this month which will make it the 23rd Oct but sometimes it's to the date sometimes 10 days over sometimes 7 never know!!!
I'm on hols at the moment a DP just rang from work to see what i was up too and lazy me at 11 i was still in bed but it's funny i woke at 9 on dote which is when i have been temping and told DP that i had done my temp and went back to sleep. He then went on to ask how my throat was cos i had an infection early in the week he thought i must have had a temp from that even though i have told him what i'm doing very sweet man but can forget to listen but i do love him dearly...
All your men sound great ans are being very supportive which i think is great and us girls need it especially if you havn't told anyone you are TTC i have told my close group of friends and our family i'm a bit of a chatter box as you might have noticed and find keeping things to myself hard.. All have been supportive in ways but can bug me a bit when they say it wll happen when it's meant too even though the two main ones that say it fell Pg first go no fair...
Well we are starting BD tonight so wish me luck.:crossfingers: Have lots of:pray:s going out and pink and blue :bluedust:.
Jane
Hi
Im soooo naughty logging on at work but after I found this thread last night I was wondering what you were all up to today.
I am TTC #2 and am CD11 so yeah this weekend is going to be a BD fest me thinks (hopes) heheh
Anyway hope we can all keep in touch during our TTC journey.. its so nice to have people to talk to in the same position.
Jane

I didnt realise until coming on here that so many people had such long cycles! Obviously on the pill I was having 28 day cycles But before the pill I was have really short and irregular cycle. I think my shortest was 14 days or something! :eek: So thats why I went on the pill. My first 2 cycle after pill was 28 and the last one was only 25 so it will be interesting to see how long this one will be.
Jane - we are on the same cycle day! YAY Are you temping with FF??
My DP is like that too - he forgets what I tell him and its really frustrating!! He is a busy man tho, has got his own roof tiling business and works 7 days a week so I dont get too annoyed!
Jane, I want to tell my family that we are TTC but I dont think my mum will be very happy. She thinks that I should wait a few more years before a baby comes.
Good luck with BD!! lots and lots of :bluedust: for you
Hi Jane! LOL I am probably not allowed on this site either at work but there is no one in my area in the office, I am down stairs and everyone else is upstairs. Got a pretty good setup here, if anyone comes to see me then I quickly switch windows and pretend like I am doing something. Must look pretty sus sometimes tho!
Goodluck with TTC #2 You must be coming up to you O time soon? So lots and lots of :bluedust: and :stickyvibesgirl: to you!!
You working girls are hilarious!!
I am currently struggling to type as my amazingly cute almost 2yr old is sitting on my lap giggling trying to catch my fingers as they type .... so prdn eny splnk meestayks!!! ROFL!!!!
Am loving connecting with chickys in the same boat too.......
.....oh for goodness sakes!!! :cryinglaugh: BBL - taking sausage here to bed now!!!
Hi
Yeah i am sitting at the back of the office today so noone can see my puter but if my boss is here he sits in a goldfish bowl of an office behind me (luckily they are away)
Hmm anyway im not too busy today so I will get away with it :)
Yeah i think i will be coming up to O time soon but to be honest i am not really sure as i have been on the pill for ever and I was lucky enough to get pregnant with Luke the 2nd month trying .... this is the first month for #2 so i am curious to see if i will luck out again. I just have never got to the point of temping etc ( i know i am so lucky) i have a few friends who have been TTC for months and they are getting really fustrated.
All the best and lots of baby dusk for everyone !!!
Jane

Jane73 - Are you charting with Fertility Friend? I'd reccommend doing it! This is the first cycle that I am doing it and the reason I signed up was to see if I am ovulating after coming of the pill. I think I did ovulate last cycle as I had what could have been ovulating pains, not sure because first time I had the pains! So I will be able to know now with FF. I am doing a free course as well on it, very interesting!
Oh I just read that you havent been temping. We'll I wish you luck! Hopefully you will fall pg first time again.
Oh thats so cute charlyfrog! My newphew is 3 yrs old, I used to babysit him quite a bit but not anymore. I see him mostly at my mum house and he is absolutely adorable! Always talking about his toy cars and making them crash. I cant wait to have my own lil bundle of joy!
Oh - Starting to get clucky!
Ngala its funny you mention the ovulation pains and not having had them before while on the pill. Its exactly the same with me, i dont think i have ever had ovulation pains until i came off the pill. Maybe i was never really paying attention or something. Has anyone else found this?
I actually thought that it was my appendix!! ROFL And then I starting reading on here and learnt that it wasnt. Oh and also cause appendix are in a different spot then where the pain was coming form :p
Ok back! :rolleyes: :)
WalkingArt - altho it's been 3yrs now since coming off the pill, I don't remember 'o' pains but this month!! I'm not sure if it's because this forum has really helped me understand my body better so I am more aware, but my 'o' pains were quite strong! (I am coupling it with a pap that took forever too - so insides may have been feeling somewhat assaulted!) but still, I only remember slight discomfort on the pill when AF arrived.
Ngala - you are an endless supply of giggles for me!! LOL!!!
Hi
Yeah i think if i dont have any joy in the first couple of months TTC i will give the temping a go. I am fairly intune with my body and what it is doing so I will use that as my guide for now.
When I am at home its near on impossible to get on the computer with Luke always wanting to help. I have a laptop and he likes to pull the cords out of it which is not so good. I miss him today as I only usually work 3 day and this week i have had to do 4 as my boss away.... we dont have any family here so its another day at childcare for him , luckily he loves it so much or it would be very hard !
=)
J
ROFLMAO - Charlyfrog, well I am blonde and I sometimes, not often! Have some 'blonde' moments :p
Ngala - ROFL!!! You're a kak!!! Unfortunatley, can't blame my hair colour for my 'dits'.... :cryinglaugh:
Jane - It was nice to see someone else who isn't temping!! It's taken me til now to work out what my body is doing (we are in month 5 of TTC#2) and I don't use any OPK's either....I know how badly focussed on getting pg I'd be if I had something to remind me every single day and then, because I know me (funny that! LOL!), I wouldn't be having all the fun I am currenlty having BD!!! I'd be way too focussed on the potential outcome!! Still, I am getting stacks of great info hanging around all you girls so keep it coming!!!!!
- No doubt I'll either scream, 'yay' or yell, 'oh bum' when the testing time comes!! LOL!!
I'm so sorry your missing your little guy!! He's such a gem to love his childcare!! Only few hours left!!:hug:
Thanks Charlyfrog xx
Yeah at this stage I am trying not to get too focussed on TTC as its been a long and tough road for me to make my decision on TTC#2 I have lots of "issues" left over from a really hard time in the first 18mths of Lukes life... I might post about it actually as i think it may do me good to get it out and everyone is so supportive here that I am sure it might help. Thats a whole new topic though. But basically we were both very sick afer the birth and spend a whole lot of time in hospital seperated and isolated as they did not know what was wrong with me. Then due to a combination of the effects of that and other stuff Luke was very very unsettled and sickly for ages.. I ended up with PND and had a really hard time of it all. I feel like I have made a huge breakthrough in even attemping #2 so I dont want to pressure myself or my DH as we are fairly fragile still .
Yeah only a few hours left !! yay
Jane

Oh Jane :hug: that would have been so horrible! But it is really good that you have managed to get past it and start trying for a lil brother or sister for your little one. I understand why you dont want to be doing the temping, I really hope that everything goes well and smoothly for you this time round.
That is a fear of mine, that something goes wrong with my baby, or me, PND.. but I know from just hearing your experiences that you can get past it. I really really hope everything goes well. I will be thinking about you.
Well the main reason I am temping is because I like learning new things and it keeps my occupied! I have a very active mind that is always thinking! And really, I am not at the stage yet to understand what my body is doing because my cycles were so over the place and was on the pill for a while and just didnt think about what my body was doing. I dont get bad PMS, I am dreading the day that is going to hit me tho! So I know that if I get cramps this cycle or the next then I could be pregnant! Or AF could just be making me suffer from never having them.
jane73 - i am so sorry to hear about your hard times but its great to see you are reaching the light at the end of the tunnel and i am sure everything will be ok this time around, you have us all for support! :hug:
ngala - so TRUE! i always worry that it is my appendix too (not that i know what it feels like but from what people have said about it being a really sharp pain)
I think it really does come down to the fact that we are now in tune with our bodies and about what should and is happening.
janeo - AF is due on 23rd for me too so we might be testing at the same time!!!:pray:
Ngala... its best not to worry about the things that might happen.. anything can happen but hey you deal with the hand you were given.
A few of my friends kept saying to me that you are only dealt what you can deal with... i used to think about that and then to be honest when you are at Womens and Childrens hospital even though at the time yu feel like your world is caving in.. you see other people in much worse situations with Critically sick children and start thanking your lucky stars that you are not in some of those situations.
I was lucky that throughout everything I never started blaming or feeling resentment toward Luke or DH and my Dr. told me I was suffering from "circumstantial depression" because as soon as things started picking up i would too... and then of course i would go back down but I think that my main problem was lack of sleep. He slept no joke for an average of 4 hours in a 24 hr period and i would only ever get half hour here and there.. shocking.
I was really unlucky... and i have finally realised that and live in the hope that it wont happen again !!!! if it does though i am better equipt to deal with it. :confused:
I saw you posted something about people being shocked at you being a young mum and to be honest I wish i had not waited so long !! i was married when i was 21 and had luke when i was 30.. good for you I say !!!!! xx
Jane73 - oh I remember your "Its on" post...I did post you a little message there after I read your post.
I think debriefing yourself is a great idea because you would get an endless supply of support from everyone, but even those who may be able to fully comprehend as they went through something similar.
So again, :pray: and :hug: to you and your little family and that you will only experience wonderfulness for bubs#2 from TTC on!!!
Ngala - I remember every twitch after I found out I was pg and I swore it was something horrible...turned out to be wind or constipation!! (LOL!! Sorry TMI!!) But DH & I preferred to be safe than sorry so the dr got to know us very well!! Even more after DD was born!! Teehee!!
Yes I guess it is best not to worry about what might happen. It is really really good that you have gotten past it and trying to # 2 :hug:
All you girls are great you have no idea how much better i feel since finding this site and hearing all your stories...
I came off the pill Feb 2005 but due to my mood swings not for PG then i got thrush really bad every month for 5 mths TMI in Nov the doctor said that trying the injection conception might help balance my hormones and it lasts 3 mths it worked. So in April we decided to start trying not actively just see what happens anyway me being me and also like you Ngala very busy mind started to think about it to much and when it hadnt happened after 3 months used OPK that just ocnfused me as i couldn't pin point when to test due to irregular periods so anyway still nothing now 5 months of trying and nothing so have started Temping this month. So yes Ngala i have started the course very interesting.
You guys are all amazing and i'm so glad i found this site almost a bit sad:crying: that i have to go back to work after holidays as i work in childcare and don't see and computer till lunch or after work....
Jane73 glad he loves child care i run a childcare room that is attached to a kindergarten we have a family grouping room so children aged from 10 months to 5 years in the same room i have up to 18 children and love my job and my kids. I have 3 Lukes at work and they are all beautiful boys who have sensitive and lovely personalities i asked DP if we could use the name but he has a cousin who is called Luke so he said no...:doh:
Well heres to BD all week........:hug: around and:bluedust: too....
Geez girls 7 pages! You are all so awesome, I find it so comfortable and easy to talk to you all about this stuff. I am so glad to have found this site!
Janeo - It'll be interesting to compare your chart to mine. Have you temped from day 1 of this cycle? I found that the last 3 days I have had the same temp 35.6 and when I look at other peoples charts its all up and down, not a steady line!
Jane73 - I may be 21 but in my mind I feel like I am much older! At school I was always more mature than everyone else and now all my friends are around 25! I feel like I am around that age too, but really I am only 21 and am really happy to be ready to start a family :)
Hi totally agree, i think that age is just a number. I have dropped out of school in year 10 and have been working since. I have now worked my way up to a successful job and am happily married so i feel way beyond my years and everyone i meet tells me that i am very mature for my age. I work with a 24 year old and a 39 year old female and we all get along so well, age makes no difference. Its like people always say, You will know when the time is right! and at the moment, the time is definately right! Its one of those things that you cant really plan for early in life. like i said a few posts ago, had you asked me a year or two ago if i wanted to TTC in first year of marriage i would have said no, but now i can think about anything else. BRING IT ON!
Hi
Janeo - Yeah i am lucky with Luke and child care.. he is very social like me so seems to like getting out and about =)
Ngala - You will be a wonderful parent ... I think as long as you feel ready for children then you are..I wishI had felt ready way back when.. not really sure what I was waiting for.
Charlyfrog... I just went back to my old post (i had forgotton about it) and saw your post. Thanks for the kind words it means alot xx
Well I really should attempt to do some work now... my god where has the day gone here in BB land ??
xx
Im so excited for everyone here ttc...
Ngala - I started charting Wed morn my AF started Sat arvo i only found this site Mon night i think. My temp wed was 36.1 and same Thurs 36.1 today it was 35.9 but i had a throat infection and when i went to doctor Wed arvo it was 37.5 so i'm hoping it didn't affect it but got over it after first antibotic so hopefully hasn't changed it. I will put my chart on the bottom of my signature so you can check it out and ill check yours out.. Good luck... I have decided to start BD tonight being that they are irregular periods i'm not sure how long my cycle is. Busy weekend too so will be around all the things on AFL grand final, 1st birthay party and Rugby grand final. Going to do it every second day for the next 2 weeks and going to do a OPK to check and when it shows up positive twice three times a day :) LOL. sorry if TMI!!!!!
Jane
Oh i forgot to say how you were going to tell your parents that you are TTC i know it's hard being young but being ready. My dad wasn't very impressed mainly cos he thinks we should be married but we have been together 6 years on oct 7th adn have a house and beautiful 1 year old Lab Bonnie who is our baby and are very much in love but my DP very much doesn't see the point in marriage well not so much that as he doesn't want all the attention so we are currently agreeing on what would make us both happy so :crossfingers: that maybe when we get Pg's or on our anniversary or who knows with him will be when i least expect it. So good luck with mum i'm sure when it happens she will be happy for you and probably very excited about a grandchild.
Ngala i can't work out how to put my chart up on my signature can you try and tell me how.... Thanks..
Hi janeo
just thought id help you out. if you go to User Profile on the top left of the screen just under the Belly Belly logo, then go to Edit Signature you can just add text into there. Is that what you want to do?
Took me a while to work it out too!
In Fertility Friend, on the left side go to the sharing link and then Home Page Setup. You should see a link to your charting homepage.
In your User Profile on Belly Belly go to Edit signature... to had the link to your charts type: [ URL]http://copylink[/URL ]
So it would look this... [ URL]http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/######[/URL ]
Dont put the space between the [ and URL tho! Just had to do that for it to come up.
Hope I explained it ok!
Hello, ladies, I wanted to pop in and say hello and I can see you've all been very busy today ;-). I was at work, even tho shouldn't have been (had my wissy teeth out on tuesday - surgery = pain = choice between mind altering drugs or more pain. Have been walking a thin line btwn the drugs and the pain and today the pain won).
You're all about a week - 10 days ahead of me (AF arrived, good to see her come on time since I stopped my pill and thought it might disrupt the pattern but nope, lobbed up like the rent-collector, I'm hoping this means I've been ovulating all along since I was on a really low dose pill). I'm looking forward to watching how my ageing body (LOL) responds without all those false chemicals. Never had an O pain before but recently started having mid-cycle pain on the pill, I'm thinking it's actually a good sign...
Best advice I can give all you happily BDing girls is - have as much FUN as you can!!!
QUESTION: for you all. For those who have come off the Pill, are you having any moodiness? I used to have Craaaaaaaaazy wild woman PMT B4 my current pill and am worried about a return of Evil Twin Deidre in my new chemical-free life????
:-)
