Teagz - I am sure you have already tried this but have you tried that canaston (sp?) stuff? its a tablet and cream combo?? It might also be worth trying our some branerry capsuals Blackmores has these, dunno if it would help out for thrush but could aid in preventing UTI's one of the last things you want when TTC.
I love cranberry juice and can't get enough of it I use to get UTI's a bit when I was younger and got addicted to Cranny juice then- I also take these (cranny tablets) + Silica Compound which is safe during pregnancy (helps with connective tissue) as well as the BM - Pregnancy Supps. There is little between these and the preconception ones so I figured I might as well finish off those an see how we went.
NaeNae, I think I might try those cranbury tabs. I won't overdose on anything will I? I'm taking blackmores preg gold and fishoil, and I'm going to start taking that fast-tract because after all the antibiotics I've been on I think I really need a good boost of good bacteria. The joys of being a woman hey. I've never had a UTI, thank god... but my mum used to get them alot.
As for my green eyed monster moment, I don't feel like that towards any of you girls in here. I think I'm jealous for that fact that she still gets to have that "pregnancy incocence" and not for the actual fact that she is pregnant... if that makes sense.
Beata, I agree with Berry I'm affraid. Or, at the very least don't let these people get to you once your IVF starts (you need to be a lady of leisure) and once you get your 12 weeks mat leave, put in your notice Everything with me is fiiiine. Yep, the big 21 next monday! And my part-tay is next weekend. I'm actually looking forward to it a bit now, considering it was forced on me! Apparently all my fam is putting in to get a an SLR digi camera. Woot! Can't wait!
And Berry, wishing you all the luck in the world this month!
DD & Dee, Still hoping for you guys!! Add to our preg mumma's group
Dee, I LOVE guitar hero. Df won't let me buy it though, damn him!
Theresa, how is everything with you? You're almost 12 weeks!! Time flies!
AFM, My plan to keep my hopes to the ground started to waver today. Well, I was pretty much sure I was out of the running after that weird bleeding but today my BB's feel a little tender... and well, I did a preg test and I got the faintest faintest positive line, I thought I was imagining it, until I had a look in the sun, and there is definately a tiney sliver of a line there. Eek! Down hopes, down!!! **WHIPS**
Oh my gosh Teagz, a faint line is a very good sign, but I don't want to get your hopes up either as the disappointment would be awful, but I am very excited for you. When are you going to test again? I'm glad that your DF / family are organising the party for you, your 21st is a big deal, so really enjoy it! Very spoilt getting the digital camera, will be good for when your little one comes along. Really hoping 'this is it' for your Teagz
Wouldn't it be great if we got a load of BFP's this month. And for Dee & Diana
On a serious note (sorry) is anyone else getting worried about having bubs and not working and the worsening economic climate? DH and I were talking about it today and it will certainly change things for us having a baby around now, but I don't want to wait any longer due to my age and wanting more than one. I might have to go back to work though, which I have never wanted the pressure to do. Anyone else feeling like this?
Berry, I don't want to return to work either after we have a bubs. Df is on a pretty good wage and we'll be able to live comfortably but we won't really be able to acheive much extra iykwim.. we want to eventually get a bigger house and more land. But yeah, I definately don't want to feel pressured into going back to work either, I want to be able to do it when I'm ready to.
And, as for my next test, AF is due in 6 days. I'm not getting my hopes up, I am not getting my hopes up, I am not getting my hopes up!!
Teagz! A line is a line, you've got a BFP!!! If your AF isn't due for another six days it's still early days, that's why the line is faint. Congrats my dear!!!
My AF is definitely here. BUMMER but I'm being an adult about it this month and not throwing a tantrum.
Megan. I don't think being sick affects your fertility directly. Sperm and eggs take four months to mature so the ones you're going to be matching up this cycle have been brewing since Dec - they'll be OK. What CD are you now? Good luck to you!!!
Diana, when do you test???
Beata, you have a heart of gold. You do have many more obstacles than I, but don't rule out your chance of a naturally conceived baby. Sue thought she could only conceive with IVF and we were mourning the loss of her latest frozen embryo when she conceived naturally. Now she's 30wks. Miracles do happen, and you certainly deserve one!
Lan, I'm on CD13 today, O hasn't happened yet, but I am very well prepared this month . Sorry that AF has arrived for you, darn it! It will happen for you hun.
