pash - it's a shark in my avatar. It's the symbol for the footy team I support. My DH and I are sports crazy I know what you mean by not wanting to get your hopes up, but sometimes that is a good thing, because we just never know what is around the corner, so we may as well be positive about it.
I think I will definitely miss the baby show. I'm a bit like you and like to dream and plan, but also don't like the reminders. The odd thing is, before I was pregnant I would always be looking in baby shops and planning everything, and then as soon as I was pregnant I didn't want to buy anything too soon - "just in case" - which was just as well in the end.
Sharon - Hmm, I just realised that we are both married to Paul's. Strange men! Did you point out to him that there are many overweight woman falling pregnant and having babies all the time and that's no reason to stop BDing! I've never understood why people think being overweight can cause infertility - isn't it rather that being overweight can be a symptom of something else, which is really the cause of the infertility??? Or maybe it's me that doesn't understand???? Anyway lots of *hugs* and I hope your day improves.
Hello all!
From everyones posts it seems like there might be quite a few BFP's this month!
Sharon- I think I would kick my husband if he said that! Men! it is true what they say "you cant live with em but you cant live without em" Just keep focusing on you ob appointment which must be close now and hopefully that will bring the answers you need.
Salt: I hope you are doing ok? Another cycle is here so fingers crossed this is your one!
Bun: 8 dpo! So close to testing Good luck! I wish I had an Ob on hand like that! She sounds like she really know her stuff which helps put your mind at ease about things. It makes sense that the mc rate is higher than they say.
Satya: Sounds like you are in for a BFP this month too! Do you have alot of visits to an Ob or fs because of your high rate for possible miscarriage? I have my for you!
Has anyone here experieced ovulation pain or spotting? I had two days of mild cramping and slight spotting. After my visit to the ob and them saying I hadn't ov yet, 3 days later I had the cramps and spotting and just wondering if it was me ovulating? I did some google searches and what I found sounds like what happened to me. I hope so I a made sure that we bd just in case!!!
I hope everyone is having a restful and fun weekend!
missbelinda77 I know someone else who is married to a Paul, and he's a strange one too LOL. I understand what you are saying and I also know that Paul is just worried that if I am overweight now, when I get pg and go full term, will I be even more over weight then, and then what if I end up with other medical conditions after, so I can see his point to an extent, just made me a bit cranky, but I honestly should lose at least 10kg so I am going to try and eat healthy and start getting some regular exercise. cherie26 I really felt like punching his light out, but after thinking about it a bit more I can see his point, but I am not going to stop ttc when my next cycle arrives (unless told to by my ob) but I am going to start working on losing a little bit of weight, just by modifying what I eat and getting some more exercise, and maybe going to bed earlier as that seems to be when I am naughty and eat all the wrong things I had Ovulation pains a couple of days ago, and on the first day of the pain I also got some spotting when I checked my CM which I don't normally get, but a lot of women do feel O pain, and I have read that you can get spotting as well, so hopefully you have timed everything right and you will get your bfp this cycle. Salt how are you going? big :hugs: to you
Sorry for my absence but I probably won't post again until AF arrives, whenever that will be. It's been about 11 days so I've probably got another good fortnight or so before then.
Good luck to you all - I hope this thread is cleaned out a bit by the time I come back.
BTW, seeing friend's baby went okay, I am just a bit glum and way better than I was.
Miss Belinda - hmm.. now that I look at your avatar again, it does look like a shark In my family/culture the tradition is to buy nothing for a baby until it is born. I now understand why, but it is hard. When I was pg, I had asked my mum to buy a few little cotton dresses for my niece, but I decided to keep one of them for my baby, then I m/ced. Even though its irrational, I wonder if I brought it on because I was selfish and kept a little dress (that's still in my mum's drawers somewhere). Maybe if I get her to burn the dress or give it away, I'll get a BFP?
Sharon - I've never heard of overweight mums having a higher rate of m/c. But I have heard (on TV and from a GP) that overweight ladies have trouble falling pg. But if you get AF (which can stop if ur overweight), and especially if you ovulate, then your weight is fine. If you were able to fall pg in the first place, then also your weight is fine. Its so frustrating that men seem to play one small part in the whole pg process, but it is so hard to get them to perform it. Not sure if punching his lights out is going to motivate him though! Maybe try talking to him?
Shoegal - :hugs: You're doing really well, especially coping with all the social things that are expected of you, like seeing friends with babies. Take the time you need and I hope AF comes when you want her.
Going through this stuff really separates your fair weather friends from your real friends, doesn't it? Unexpectedly, my best friend, whose been there thu so many ups & downs, abandoned me on this one. To be fair, she was trying to cope with going back to work (to a new job) after finding childcare for her 4 month old, and recovering from post natal depression. But it took her 3 weeks to even call me (she lives in the US, so we haven't seen each other). I've spoken to her a bit since, but I've sort of held a grudge, which I think I should do something to resolve. I feel petty for holding a grudge cos we really have been through loads together, and its not like the last year has been a walk in the park for her either.
But I'm a bit annoyed with DH's best friend, who was really thrilled when we told him we were pg, but then when we said I had m/ced, he sent a txt and never mentioned it again. Except to ask DH why I wasn't drinking last week (as in trying to probe & get DH to admit that I'm pg, which I wish I was). Makes me feel like he's a fair weather friend. Again irrational, cos he and DH have been friends since they were 5, and have been through loads together.
But all the emotional support came from totally unexpected people. I feel so lucky to have BB and the lovely people who stood by DH & I when we were struggling.
Whew, don't know where that came from. Was supposed to be a flippant and short post!
I know what you mean by not wanting to get your hopes up, but sometimes that is a good thing, because we just never know what is around the corner, so we may as well be positive about it.
for you!
I had Ovulation pains a couple of days ago, and on the first day of the pain I also got some spotting when I checked my CM which I don't normally get, but a lot of women do feel O pain, and I have read that you can get spotting as well, so hopefully you have timed everything right and you will get your bfp this cycle.
