howdy everyone. not much going on in colorado today. more work and worry. each day is a new one to get through.
Susan--congrats on the positive! here's hoping that it stays.
Lynn & Mel -- funny, i was just thinking how much i'd rather not work just now, but you're right it does keep me from brooding. and keeps the bills paid, lol.
gee you think you get a quiet day and start posting yourself then everyone comes in, great how embarrassed do i feel!
mel - you chatterbox, nooooooooo. lol that 1am is way past my bedtime, how did you cope yesterday? let me know the details of sat nite too
lynn - i'd love to see the scans too please. talking of work, agreed with the time consuming thing, if only the money could come in without us having to do it, hang on i kind of feel like i am in that place at the moment, not much really getting done.
auntie m - hope the tww is treating you well. colorado sounds lovely. i think my sisters friend is moving somewhere in colorado on a teaching exchange next year.
tommysmum - how about carmen?, meaning he/she's a carmen home, I know I'm probably not original but thats the best i could do. i can't do searches on names as thats been banned too, that just takes all the fun out of work lol
well we finally getting some action on the OPK front, much to my chagrin. more bd, me nooooooo, as dp giggles like a schoolgirl and claps his hands with glee lol. getting some pain in the O region too, here's hoping its a big juicy one.
or something along the lines of deb's and lynns - belle - ie beleive
too much thinking now not enough work, i have another one which is in poor taste/poor humour, not going to post it though
Susan congratulations! You are gonna wait a WEEK??????? What patience! I hope that line leaves no room for doubt next time you test...
Klee: I love Carmen! That's great!!!! I agree Tommysmum we need a nickname!
Mel: Sometimes "unexplained fertility" occurs and nobody really knows why... I really can get how you must be feeling... But, this is gonna bring that baby to you and we are all going to be here cheering you along!
everyone else hi! I have a bad headache today, just wanted to pop in and say hi...
Hey gals,
I am sorry I have not been around...still no sign of my new computer.... it will be here by wednesday allegedly. I really forgot how much you depend on them for everything, I mean imagine having to go into the Post Office to pay a bill?? The horror of it all! Today is my first day back at work, so it will take me a while to read through all the posts and I will try to get back in to do some personals later.
Spring - I am so sorry I missed posting on Harry's birthday. I am useless with the dates, I only realised it was Asha's birthday when Mel messaged me that morning. So I am so sorry.
Happy belated Birthday Little Harrison, keep looking out for your little Spring for us all.
bailey - good to have you back, a post office, whats that?
mel - lmao, no chance of cancelling, sorry if my text sounded worky before, i've been moved back in with the sheep and it takes a bit of getting used to. about to send you a reply
lady beside me talking about her daughter about to give birth, not what i want to hear, the other day she came out and asked me when i was going again. um honey i wish it was that easy!
Yay for you Susan!! How exciting!! I hope that line gets stronger!! I agree with Deb tho HOW can you wait a WEEK? I would be testing everyday!! Actually, i would take a faint line as a line anyway and i would be considering myself pregnant! I hope it sticks for you!!
How are you feeling Jo? The witch should be gone soon which means its nearly time to try again!!
WARNING MY BE TMI
I feel abit bad for DH , i have been abit off sex since Nov and it has been because it was a bit painful at first, then i just sort of wasn't into it. But now we are trying again i am more keen, and it hasn't been hurting. But i dont want DH to think i only want to be "with" him if we are trying to make a baby. I dont want to feel that, but it seems that since we have decided to start trying that it has started to be more pleasurable. Maybe subconciously i was thinking that sex was pointless for a while there, i dont know. He isn't complaining that i am keen, so i might just go with it!!
I am so computer illiterate. I wouldn't have a clue how to pay my bills online!!! But i do need a computer. I wont be working once i am pregnant (DH says so, i say fine, he can go earn all the $$ ) so i will need a comp at home cause i cant be pregnant without the bellybelly site and all you lovely ladies!! Apparently there is this thing where you can get your boss to by you a lap top and they take the money out of your wage before tax comes out. I am looking into it, my boss is great, she is keeping my job for me until we have a baby and i can settle. She knows until then its all i am obsessed with.
Tommysmum a name for your bean......hmm... going to be... will be.. Wil b er meaning, Will be here. Thats my suggestion... WILBER.
I have a question.... does anyone know when i should count my cycle from? Starting from may i was still on the pill, i bled on May 25th til 1st of June all normal. Then coz of anitiotics i bled from 13th June until 25th June. (quite heavy) Then when it came time to stop taking pill on June 29 i only got the slightest brownish stuff for 1 day. So my question is, do i count from when i should have been bleeding or from when i actually was?????? So should i be counting 28 days from 13th June or from 29th of june????? CAn anyone offer any ideas? Much appriciated!! Sorry if TMI.
katti - i like wilber, makes me laugh, i'm not sure on the cycle questions, maybe deb or mel or someone can help. maybe discuss it with dh, see what he says.
deb - hows your headache going? when is the next time you see col? good luck for the scan
i have a question for you on teh opk's, i just did an opk the line was fainter then last nights 8pm, does that mean i have o'd? last nights line was dark but not as dark as the test line, now the one i have just done is there but barely. what do you think?
well i couldnt wait so i went to the dr today to get a blood test done and he said to me if there is a line there that i am pg but still im going to wait for the blood test results.....
and i did another test today it wasnt the same brand as the one i did yesturday and i didnt get a line so maybe the one i did today doesnt show this early. it was only a cheap one. the one i brought yesturday was a more expensive one from the chemist.so now i will just wait.....
Klee - LMAO at Carmen! That is cool. Belle is cute too. Well we might not see you in here for a while. Go get busy girl!!!!
Mel - Zhen is cool - I like that. You are so right about being lucky with today's technology. I would never have children if it wasn't for the meds and IUI. It just makes us realise what a miracle babies really are. I hope you are feeling a bit better today I won't be around to chat tonight because we are going shopping for a new bed! Yipeeeeeeee!
Tommysmum - the girls have some great suggestions on your bubs name. Let us know which one you like. yes I will be there on Wednesday. I am taking the day off work. Wanna do lunch after???
Bailey - yay your back!! Missed you babe. I hope you get that computer very soon. Will I see you on Wednesday? Wanna have lunch too? Maybe we can go somewhere nice instead of the place across the road.
Jo - nothing like a bit of shopping. I hope you are doing ok. I have been thinking of you. big big :hugs:
Kat - sorry I can't help you on your cycle. Perhaps check with your dr. Good luck, I hope you get your BFP very very soon Unfortunately this TTC journey is so hard and sometimes it can be hard on our DH. Sometimes it does take away the romance because there is a time when you must DTD. My DH used to say that I only wanted to DTD when it was time. But after a week of bedding, he was asking too stop!!!! You can't please them.
Bailey - long time no hear ! Remember that the S&K meeting is next week Wednesday so book in your babysitter ! Hope you are feeling fine - your ticker is flying girl. Cant wait till you have your scan.
Lynn - yes - lets do lunch next week - us growing girls need to eat !
Klee - LMAO - at "carmen" ! OMG - sooo funny.
Susan - fingers crossed for your "line"....i am not giving up for you!
Katti - i was thinking along similar lines..."Will"...(you "will" be coming home to us). Wilber sounds to the point though (i had to laugh again)...i think Wilber might stick girls.
As for your cycle - i would think you always start on the day you first bled (not when they were due). But i am no expert on this.
Jo - glad you enjoyed some retail therapy - it always works. I would love to do the same but we have zero $ in the bank !...well if DH wouldn't spend $600 on two golf clubs i might have a penny left for me !!!
Mel - how are you doing girl? Hope you are feeling fine and getting excited for your FS appointment soon.
Flowerchild - hope that headache goes very soon and you can start to have a stress free pregnancy. Good luck for tomorrow - will be thinking of you. Col is definitely coming home. Are you going to find out the sex of your bub when the time comes? I don't think we are althought i wouldn't mind either way (our scan is in 7 days !!). I cant believe how fast your ticker is going PLUS you are gaining extra days - what a BONUS !
Well, DH asked me the other day if i was wearing a push up bra. I said NO and that i never do (i am usually very flat chested). He said that my boobs looked massive and that i looked very "womanly". (Yeh, thanks mate). He also said that he wants me to keep these boobs - i just said that we have to have more bubbas !
Anyone having trouble sleeping lately? I am up for hours each night - thinking about finishing the house, Tommy, this new bubba, DD - EVERYTHING. Must be stressed.
Hello to everyone else out there - hope you are having a nice evening.
Klee - Hope you worked out those OPKs, but as I said in my text message if you think its possible you are around O time - DTD anyway, and hope for the best...
Katti - Sorry I cant help you with your cycle as I am not too sure how the whole thing works, but have you been using OPKs or anything? It might help just to get an idea of where you are at. I am about to go on the pill for IVF and I was told this will regulate my cycle (although its pretty spot on regular anyway) so maybe that will mean yours is regulated. Dont feel too bad about wanting to DTD more now that you are TTC - we all gain a little more sex drive around O time, but yeah the DHs get used to feeling slightly used (they should be so lucky ).
Tommysmum - Yeah I like "Wilber" too (very clever Katti). LOL @ the boob comments - MEN... so full of tact Although if you want more bubs in future all you have to say is remember the (.)(.) and he will be sold! BTW, I think its understandable to be stressed but I hope you can get a little more sleep.
Lynn - Did you get a bed? How exciting, I love new stuff! Does it include a mattress? We have a pillowtop mattress and it is just like a big fluffy cloud.
Howdy all. still waiting (picture fingers drumming here). . . .
Klee- tell your sister's friend to look me up - i'd be more than happy to try to put a good face on Colorado (not too difficult).
Kat- if your dh doesn't complain, then don't worry. i don't think it is uncommon to feel that dtd is useless until procreation is involved. the mechanical nature of the act for a whole week is what bothers me. tmi, i know.
Tommysmum- lol re the boobies -- so like a man. thank goodness they are interested in something, though.
Hi everyone!! We are all sounding very cheery in here today. Its good to see spirits up!!
Tommysmum im glad you like Wilber!! We can will your bean to grow!! My DH also likes it when im pregnant and i have boobs!! I am actually only now really getting back to being my usual flat self!! Just in time to notice if they start to get bigger!!!
Mel1977 klee suggested i talk to you.. apparently we have similar blood problems. Anticardiolipin antibodies. Do you know much about it? All i could really understand was take aspirin and i should be fine.I lost Zahra due to a blood clot on my placenta which ruptured.
I think i will take my cycle from the 13th... which means..... i can test soon!!! It has been a month since that started!! Maybe i will be lucky and drop two eggs. Twice the chance!!!
SUsan i knew you wouldn't be able to wait!! Who can blame you? Sounds very promising. Early days yet of course, but congrats !!
JO Hi dear!! Just wanted to say, hi. Thinking about you. How are the hormones? Good luck if your trying again this month!!
DEB Right about now you should be saying hello to little col. Hope all is wonderful and reassuring.
Aunty M How is colorado? Did you have a big 4th of July? When i lived in the USA it was a huge deal. We would have block parties and watch fireworks. We dont really have anything like that in oz. We are not independant. Have you managed to find the movie Cracker Jack?
thanks for all the feedback on DH re: It is pretty normal considering our circumstances. He is chilling out abit more too. He had a big weekend for his birthday, so he is recovering abit and is back to his calm self. We are babysitting for a friend tonight and tomorrow. Not a baby, two big kids so it wont be too bad.
I had a little thought last night (and a cry) I used to really enjoy spending time with other children, babies or little kids, it didn't matter. I used to have endless patience and i would always be hapy to entertain kids at a party or whatever... but since all this trying with no luck, it hurts now to spend too much time with kids. I think i used to enjoy it so much coz i would be thinking, "one day i will have one of those" and now because i dont know if i ever will, i cant think that confidently anymore. And that makes me sad to feel like that. But i cant help it. I just want to play with a kid that i dont have to give back, coz "back" is home with me. DYKWIM? One day it will happen. I must have positive thoughts.
Katti - I just typed out a post to you and I lost it! I am on break so dont have time to retype it now, GRRRRRRRRRRR - Anyway, I do have anticardiolipin antibodies... if you wanna email me (addy in profile) or PM me I will tell you what I know about it, I would also be interested to hear what you have been told. I would PM you right now if I had the time... :throw_computer:
Hello gals,
Just a quickie for now, cos I am sneaking a peek at work. Still no computer at home, BUT, it is only my screen that has gone on my lap top so sweet DH brought home a HUGE ancient PC monitor from work so I can hook up my lap top to it and get online tonight, I can suffer through it til I get my new computer next week...Yay! So I will get on board later tonight and catch up with everyone and what has been going on. To be honest, I have been feeling so very lonely without access to you guys Speak to ya'll soon.
Susan congratulations! You are gonna wait a WEEK??????? What patience! I hope that line leaves no room for doubt next time you test...
it will be here by wednesday allegedly. I really forgot how much you depend on them for everything, I mean imagine having to go into the Post Office to pay a bill?? The horror of it all! Today is my first day back at work, so it will take me a while to read through all the posts and I will try to get back in to do some personals later.
Cant wait til you get your new comp... fingers crossed for Wed.
