TTC First Timers Version 29

[Chunkymonkey]

Hi!

Bubba - So glad it all went well for you - rest up & relax and looking forward to hopefully celebrating in two weeks!! Hubby and have been looking at this month as LAST CHANCE BFP month... like The Biggest Losers LAST CHANCE WORKOUT!!! He's travelling with work to 3 different states (of course, when I'm due to obvulate!) but is only staying away 1 night max and flying back in between each state so we can try and catch the egg!


Tinuviel - Best of luck with the moving - I've done it a few times, its not fun but nice once you're in the new place!

Nocturne - Exciting with your purchase but more so to feel your bubba moving around!! Its usually around this time isn't it?! I'm not sure if I've asked - are you finding out the sex of bubs?

Lovepink - that is so FUNNY!! What a cheeky bubs

Summa - Home stretch now! Has the nesting kicked in?! Did you finish painting bubs room last week?

Angel - Sounds like you need to rest up! I dont know how you do it - I'd be milking the home time and bed rest for all its worth - especially with this rainy weather we've been having!

Magic - ANY NEWS??!!!!

Elly - How have you trained your hubby to scoop the poop?! Tell me now! lol I cant WAIT to be pregnant just so I dont have to do that anymore!

AFM - Nothing new, just trying to stay low key, healthy & relaxed. We had some red balloon vouchers due to expire so I booked another couples treatment package for a massage & facial (I'm bad - and addicted) and got my hair done to make myself feel good... I consider that a necessity, I had regrowth to my ankles! My nurses app. is next week & hubby will be away so mum is filling in. IVFers - did they make you practice putting a needle in?!


Hope everyone is well

Thanks everyone for the well wishes.
Unfortunately I started spotting late last night, and bleeding more heavily today. I know something happened this cycle, but it's over now. Not coping very well atm.

Bubba - Sorry I've been so distracted. I'm so excited that you're PUPO and that your 2 embies survived the thaw so well. I have everything crossed for you

Chic - Happy belated Birthday!

[bubbalove83]

Magic - Huge, Huge x a billion. I was really hoping that this was it for you.. Why does it have to be so hard?? Thinking of you xx

Chunky - I got to practice on a pin cushion thing that is suppose to feel like skin when you push it in. I was so nervous the 1st time i did a jab but its not to bad at all.. Thats so great of your hubby to be flying in & out around your O time.. Goodluck for this month, hope you catch that egg.

Bboo - Thank you...

Bubbalove83, very exciting. 21st isn't so far away.

Magicmud, argh, *hugs*.

I feel sick today so ofcourse i think maybe it's my time. CD 30. My cycles have averaged more like 40 days. The logical side of me hopes that if AF comes it's here with nice timing so DH is back from his business trip during the right phase. Woah I said if AF comes. That's probably the most hopeful I've been. I wonder if some optimistic delusion could help things happen??

I'm getting more serious about weight loss, planning a 30 minutes a day walk and keeping active with the move. Got lots of healthy recipes planned out. Tho we'll relax a bit during the most stressful moving days while everything is all packed up.

Exciting. Visited our new house again today and brought home 2 bags of oranges for juice and marmalade. There were 3 gardeners weeding one patch. It's going to keep us busy and fit.

Magic - A thousand . I had a random cycle once that went 5 days over and the day AF arrived I stomped around work with a cloud over my head. Ooh, I'm so angry for you! It's really not fair. Thinking of you hun xx

Bubba - Congrats on being PUPO! Twins, hehe. It's sounding positive, for super stickiness!

Chunky - I don't know how my husband is that way... I think he arrived fully housetrained! Good luck with the nurse's appointment next week!

Tinuviel - for your TTC journey. Sounds like you're making progress with the house move, I'll bet it'll be a huge relief to finally be in!

to everyone else! Hope you're all having good weeks.

AFM - AF decided to turn up 3:30am Sunday morning which was just brilliant. The (only) good thing about the timing was that I was mostly asleep and therefore was completely unemotional about the whole thing. DH and I spent the day cooking up a storm and it was a nice day in the end (we made bread, pasta and pastry from scratch and dinner that night was verrry nice!) Sorta now counting down the days to the IVF consult and beginning to tell a couple of close friends about it. I've decided to push for IUI initially because it's cheaper and as far as I can tell, will probably be more beneficial for my problem (narrow cervix) than IVF. But no doubt the specialist will have his own opinions .

[lovepink]

Nocturne- That's the pram that we got! Love it too! Oh how exciting feeling movement. Won't be long unitl they are little kicks

Tin- hope you are going okay with your move!

Bubba- WOO HOO!!!! Twins would be awesome! I hope they are settling in for the next 9 months!!! Did you get any time off work?

Chunkey- Oh pampering sounds lovely- lucky thing. Mine didn't get me to practise just showed me how and i was on my own. I was totally freaked out the first few times though- i have a needle phobia. I had to get over that fast though! The pen needles are great- hardly hurt at all and go in so easily! The others aren't too bad once you get used to them. Good luck

Magic- Oh that really sucks massive hugs! Why do our bodes play tricks with us like that! I hope you are doing okay

Elly- Boo hoo for AF when is your IVF consult?

Chic- how is everything going?

[chicparis]

Hello ladies

Nocturne, yay for feeling movement, so exciting!

Lovepink, so funny that bub stops moving for DH, he must be so disappointed every time...

Magic,So sorry hun. I was really hoping for some good news for you. I can imagine how you feel. take it easy on yourself...

Bubba, yay for being pupo with twinnies!!! I have that this is it for you and that they are getting nice and comfy in there. The 21st will be here in no time!! (yeah right!)

Tinuviel, sounds like you are busy with your move. Good luck!

Ellystar, I'm so sorry to hear AF showed up. But I wish you the best of luck with your consult and don't hesitate to ask us IVFers any questions, we're here to help.

Chunky, I don't do my own needles as I'm phobic, but DH tried it out in some foam or something they gave him and then did it on me in front of the nurse so she could correct him if he was doing somethign wrong but he got the hang of it real quick!

Hi Lisa, Summa, Spanna and anyone I might've missed, I hope you're all going well.

AFM, I had a scan and Bt which went well, and I saw FS too. I got everything I wanted so I'm really pleased. He might up my dose of estrogens next week to thicken my lining as much as possible, then transfer will be around the 23rd and I will be starting clexane on same day! Oh, and we're transfering 3!!! it's the last ones we have and he doesn't want to do a cycle just for one so he said we'd put all 3...I sure hope something will happen this cycle with all these extras!

[Lisa80]

OMG chic 3!!! wow!

[MagicMud]

Chunky - Oooo a massage and a facial sounds nice! I've never gotten anything like that done before. And I think I've been to a hairdresser a grand total of about 3 times as an adult! (where do I live? under a rock?... yep!)
Hope your nurse appointment next week goes well.

Tin - How is the packing going, and when is moving 'day' (have you mentioned?)

Elly - Boo for AF! Nasty cow. I think pushing for IUI to start with is a good idea, if there's no O or swimmer issues, I can't see why your specialist should object. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Pink - How is pregnancy going? Enjoying those kicks?

Chic - Holy wowsers! Transferring 3!!! Surely that has to up your chances!

Angel - How are you recovering?

Lisa - Omgoodness, not long to go now! Sounds like your getting very organised!

Nocturne - Yay for feeling a bit of movement! How exciting! Also great new about the pram, I shall be googling pictures of that soon
Bubba - Lots of sticky vibes coming your way

Summa - How are you traveling hun?

Hello to everyone else

AFM - Dad went back to hospital last Friday, which is a pity because he said he was feeling so much better. I'm beginning to wonder if he will ever be properly better.
Thanks for the support everyone as well, I'm off to the doc tomorrow for a bit of a chat about this cycle gone. I have so many questions!

[tinuviel]

CD32 I've had some strange nausea each day and today I nearly fainted bad vertigo. I suspect that I have a virus, but irrationally believe I might be pregnant. Even tho I have 40 day cycles and stuff. Anyway I'm going to test tomorrow.

Tummy hurts and I also irrationally believe that now i'll get AF in the morning. Anyway time will tell. Have a good Friday.

Tin.
