Babies Born May 2006 #31

There would probably be enough liquid in the creamed corn to hold it together Shazz.

Exactly - but i thought the same thing until I tried them. They are great with soup instead of bread too.

They sound so easy and yummy, Erin and I are looking for something to cook, we might make them now.

oh ok told i was stupid thanks we might give them a whirl too thanks kim

Hey Shazz, i tired to join in one of the TTC threads, but they don't seem real keen on a new person and haven't answered any questions. Can I ask you?
I THINK I o'ed on Friday.
After O does the CM all but dry up?
Is it possible to O with no CM?
I've only charted a few days, but my temp keeps going down and down. What does that mean (and it doesn't correlate with the CM)?

Kim I did all this stuff last time when trying to conceive and am a bit vague on it this time and also can't be bothered this time.

I believe thou, off memory that if you temp is dropping, it is the sudden rise that normally means ovulation and you have 12 or so hours to catch the egg. Otherwise all sperm can live for a period of time before this and get there too waiting for the egg. I never got noticable CM in my undies, I always had to go searching IYKWIM. Gross hey, sorry TMI. But I believe once this CM has gone from clear and sticky to cloudy then it is too late. As the clear stuff easily carries the sperm to the egg. Hope that helps.

I might remember more if you ask more questions.

I am just wingin it this time round. I went to so much trouble for 5 mths and it was so disheartening as I put my heart and soul into it. So this time I am in no rush, and it will happen when it happens.

I sometimes wonder if all the temperature taking and charts etc put more pressure on people TTC. I couldn't be bothered doing it... and wouldn't have a clue where to start.

I would just make a note of when the first day of my period was, then worked out ovulation dates (google ovulation calendar) - which is two weeks after the 1st day of AF. And I just tried to DTD around that time. And when I say tried - I mean it. Yariv & I were so knackered, and just couldn't be bothered half the time. We are definately NOT rabbits. Both times I fell pregnant - Yariv has said "When did that happen??".

When you consider my age, being overweight, and that I had one useless ovary the first time, it is a wonder I fell pregnant so easily. But I am 90% sure it's because I didn't try too hard, and I was so relaxed about the whole thing. I just enjoyed DTD... and oila!!

Although I really feel for the women who TTC for years and years. It must be hard to want something so badly. How often do you hear about women who spend a fortune on IVF, then when they stop trying so hard they fall pregnant naturally.

I think stress is the greatest disease of our era.

Oh thanks heaps Sheree, yeah I'm thinking it's a bit too hard and I might just chill for a bit.

Np Kim, but I guess I knew from last time charting when my ovulation date was too! I conceived Lachlan on 2nd September - CD 16. Freakish hey! But I am 99% sure. I am just hoping that my ovulation day is the same CD 16 but if it is not then so be it! I am over stressing about things.

So for us this cycle which I am up to CD18, we DTD Day 13 (Cause I was away CD 12 (which I think from memory last time this is when I started), then every day up to CD17. Now I am buggered hehe. I think off memory too, you are to only to try every alternate day but that is hard if you don't what day you ovulate. My cycles have been anywhere from 26 - 29 days since having Lachlan, but my body was like clockwork prior to having him. 28 days to the day to the hour to the minute. That is how I knew I was pregnant, even thou the stick at the doctors said I wasn't (it came up negative). I didn't feel pregnant, but hey my cycles don't lie either. Silly doctor told me to go home and wait for my period it was obviously late. Grr...... felt like shuvin those sticks up his but!

Atleast this time I know I can have children that was a great fear of mine at that time, so this time I chillin out about it.

When charting for me it was so stressful, and it was only when we were on holidays that we conceived. So how about that, your theory is so true Jodie.

Gosh Jodie you fertile girl, see there is some of us that can do it and some of us that can't. You go girl.

The irony is Sheree... I had been having sex for 22 years - many times unprotected - and never fell pregnant! So I thought I would have great difficulty conceiving. But I really believe it's an emotional thing. I love Yariv so much, and I wanted to have his child. And my life is good. A different guy, a different time - would be a totally different outcome.

I'm getting ready to go to a 2yo birthday party at a play centre. Woohoo!! NOT!
Shaun is asleep - so at least he will be in a good mood when he is let loose at the playcentre.

We got heaps of work done on our house yesterday. Few little things to do - including neatening up the garden (hopefully next weekend, weather permitting)... and we will call in the Real Estate agent.

And I booked MIL flights - and she's staying longer! arrives 21st Nov and leaves 7th Jan now. Yariv is starting to think that she might want to stay even longer! I had a dream last night that she didn't want to return to Israel!

Aghhhh good for you Jodie that is fantastic, so happy you are soooo happy.

Have fun at the party.

Gosh I struggle getting paperwork done with Lachlan around let alone renovating a house, you are a champ!

Is it just me or does everyone else's kids constantly follow them around the house all day and whinge and chuck tanties etc..... I wish I had a video camera, he is an angel is someone else is here. Must be a mum thing. His toys just aren't enuf these days!!!!!

What date is bub due? Are you finding out? It will be good to have help around huh?

Hi girls!!

Wow!! I can't believe we are up to page 3 of a new thread already!!! You girls have been talking up a storm in here.

We are ok. Briley is good. Had a bout of bad nappy rash this weekend though. I think the second top tooth might be on its way.

I am tired. But ok. Everything settled after the laxative left my system. I called the Birth Suite and they told me to stop taking them and to wait until 36 weeks if i am still having major issues with constipation. Fine with me. I suppose cause baby will be almost classed as "full term" by then. I just don't want to force the baby out though. I mean i know i need to go to the toilet but if it means sending me into labour then i think i should just bare with it till i am 40 weeks or at least 39.

Will be back sometime soon for personals.

Hope you are all well.

HI Kim ~ Chin up send me the link to your chart ( if you don't mind of course ) i 'll have a quick look for you it can get quite depressing if things don't happen when you want i know that only to well though charting has some major benefits for a pcos women just my history alone tells you ovulation doesn't always occur on CD 14 on average my O day was CD 18 -21 hang in there

Does my link work Shazz?

yep sure does i'd keep DTD for the next week cover your bases and it will give your chart a chance to get some sort of pattern to it it is a little to early to tell what really is happening :hug:

Has Kim's DH paid you to say that Shazz????? My DH would be over the moon if someone told me that LOL

Haha actually this week he's been complaining about having to 'perform' too much!

Geez that is not like a male, it is more me that has had enough. Wade is luvin it!!!!

What CD are you up to Kim?
