i have a question. we aren't planning to ttc till may but i'm about a stone and a half over weight and i'd really like to lose that before i get pg. if i lose it before starting to ttc with i still get the weightloss shock you need to ttc pink?
Charlie- that pic of your boy is so funny and cute!
Petal- I remember how difficult it was for you after your 16 week scan...it was so hard to see you like that but now here you are super excited about meeting your boy and genuinely happy! That's why threads like this that go on for years are good as we can follow eachother's stories from beginning to happy end! :HH:
Welcome Maybeoneday and good luck with your attempt!
coco- I'd save loosing the weight until within 6 weeks before your attempt and a lot leading up to O. It is tricky as you don't know exactly when you will get pg!
littlemiss, just keep testing and you will get a smiley! do you always get a smiley cd12 or was last month an exception?! i would keep testing your temps in the way you normally do or you will get inconsistent readings. You can get a pre ov dip or a pre LH surge dip i think. But then again you can get wacko readings for all sorts of readings. Just keep testing :)
Indigo, so sorry if af does arrive, but the way i look at it is at least you get a chance to tweak your sway! Next month im definitely dropping all lime and just going to do the one attempt at o+12.
petal, any twinges yet?
Pinga, i too think you should just get the smear done now or it will be on your mind.
Still haven't started packing though went to the shops and bought new wellies for me and the boys. got a play date this aft so i guess packing will have to wait till tonight!
just had a look at your temps and there are looking promising!!! :) your af was suppose to arrive today wasnt it? or does it normally vary?Quote:

Cervix has started to go a bit soft. but not very high. I ovulate very randomly i used to be around cd 16-18 but after taking clomid for 4 months it shortened to between 12-15 days. I arnt taking clomid this month so i dont know when my ovaries will decide to pop an egg out. Hopefully sooner rather than later!!! just going to have to keep testingQuote:

Sounds fine to me. Just keep using digi for fmu and cheapies for rest (approx 1pm, 6pm, 10pm) until you see them getting darker and then use digi's, thats my advice. I don't think one drink will affect your lunchtime opk no. What i found was that my 6pm is always the most faint because i have had a day of fluids to dilute my urine. What i tend to do now to prevent this is to have some drinks straight after 1pm opk then go to the toilet again in half an hour to an hour and then not drink much again till the next opk. This way, i am able to get my intake of fluids in but not dilute my urine too much for 6pm.
We are off to cornwall in the morning. We quite often go there for a change from norfolk and dh has family there including his granddad who we visit. Staying near fowey which i love!
Thanks for that Deaks! will test again at around 6pm tonight then!
It sounds lovely hope you have a nice time! how long are you staying for?
We are going for a week. Have barely seen dh for about 8 weeks so it will be nice to have him around with us :)
ahhh hope you have a brilliant time! At least the little break will take your mind off things! we you be sticking to the diet whilst your away?
Have a great holiday Deaks.
Maybe, there are other places that do PGD cheaper than £6000 but they dont have such a good success rate as Genesis. I lost my grandad this year and my plan was to use that money to go next year, but things have changed and we need to move house to get ds1 into a good high school, his happiness and education comes first, so if we are able to save or re-mortgage at some point then i will strongly consider going to cyprus :-))
Well 40 weeks and 1 day and NOTHING!!!!!! Ive just been up an indoor play center for 3 hours, boys loved it, im knackered and didnt even do anything lol x
Genesis does sound very cheap! im assuming you have to make your own arrangements for accomodation?
littlemiss, no id doubt i will stick much to the diet but so far when i have been away i haven't noticed a break in the diet affecting my ph much and its only a week this time. It has also worked out quite well timing wise.
Petal, how frustrating! do you normally get twinges when you are imminent? both mine were totally out of the blue...no twinges whatsoever really!
Plus i meant to add that when you have been on the diet 6 months you need a break as it becomes pretty unhealthy. I view every holiday as a little break to keep me healthy!
mind you my diet did slip abit when i found out i O with out relising altho that too didnt alter my ph!
Hi ladies,
Hope you have a great hols Deaks. Excellent timing for you to relax and time to whizz by on your 2ww.
Poor you still having to wait petal! When you count down to a certain day any thing over I find impossibly hard as I'm so impatient it's untrue.
Ive got my year old niece to have tonite which I gotta say I'm slightly dreading. She is dead cute but doesn't ever want to go to sleep, doesn't stay asleep and wakes up early so I'm feeling :( even thinking about it. If she isn't enough to put my dp off wanting anymore ever I'll be lucky.
Xxx
sounds like she's a handfull 2monkeyboys!!! hope she doesnt put your DP off trying for a DD
Deaks hope you have a lovely break away! Twinges all sounding good. I had sore boobs really early when preg with my boys.
LMW hope ov is soon for you.
Pinga. I was talking about smears with a friend yesterday as it's 25 for your first smear in the uk and i'm 25 in January. And the ones that have had theirs so far have all come back with abnormal cells! But this can turn out to be nothing. They ask you to come in between day 10-14 of your cycles as any old blood can come up as abnormal. Also your not ment to have sex for three days before as this can come up with abnormal. As any bacteria at all can cause an abnormal reading. So i'm thinking if your pregnant there's a good chance it will come up abnormal anyway and that will just worry you as there's nothing you can do about it! I would wait until after you give birth. As you don't want to worry about something that is probably nothing for 9 months!
OMG i'm so stressed. I had a call on Tuesday saying the replacement playhouse would arrive with us on Thursday evening waited all last night and nothing. Called them this morning and basically got fobbed off as to why it hadn't arrived, why I hadn't been contacted, how the lady who had contacted me intially was wrong etc. etc. In the end I was just so livid about being messed around with that I cancelled the order. So poor DP has been put under pressure to make a playhouse from scratch and errect it, finish decking the garden all before the boys party! I know he'll make a much better job than the one that's here it's just he has no time at the moment as he's helping his mum with their roof. Another freind put up a stud wall to seperate their kids rooms. As well as his regular day to day job.
He was hoping to get some of the decking finished tonight as it's stopped raining but I start work at 5pm. O dear. oh well it's out of my hands now. :(
On a good note doing well on the diet today because we went to a friends to play this morning breakfast wasn't all I thought about! I didn't eat anything till 2pm which is amazing for me.
Lastly please could someone help me with calcium citrate sups I really need to order them ASAP. I'm not too sure about the solarary ones as the mag and calcium levels are out for swaying.
i use the solgar brand for calcium citrate with added vit d and i know sunset did too. you can buy them off amazon
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Solgar-Calci...sr=1-2-catcorr
i would buy the 240 tabs as they last longer and are cheaper as when i first started taking supps i was having to buy these every week as i was only buying them in bottles of 60. I take 4 a day and so does my partner so they only last 7 days.
What a nightmare they have messed you about!! did they take the first playhouse they delivered and will you be getting a refund?
Thank so much you LMW.
Ok i will go for them there just so expensive but think i'll just have to bite the bullet and hope that I concieve quickly. DP won't take sups he thinks I'm a bit of a nutter (in a good way) for swaying.
Nope we still have the original playhouse which was the wrong order. They are ment to collect it at some point?? To be honest I feel like burning it lol. Can you tell that I've got PMT lol.
On a positive note the same friend who I was talking to about smears with is going to TTC after X mas. She has a girl and would love a boy for her DP. I've tod her about swaying in the past and we worked out that she does classic girl things.
She never eats breakfast, She's a veggie like me too so no red meat. She lives off of diet coke and probably only has one large meal a day and snacks in the evening. I think she naturally has low blood sugar as she says she often gets spots infront of her eye's or feels a bit faint. Also her DH is in a band and lives in skinny jeans!
So I've told her to start eating a big breakfast and ditch the diets coke and and just generally eat more food! Also DH has to ditch the jean!:) Don't think she'd properly sway but these things would give her a better chance of having a boy.
yeh they are slightly expensive but if your dp isnt going to take them then they are going to last a hell of a lot longer!
Its nice you can be so open to your friends about swaying like ive said before i wont dare tell anybody except DP. im glad he's doing exactly what ive told him to except he wont do the diet. he tried it and was on it for 2 weeks but he couldnt handle it and he loves his food so we had to make a comprimise!
Pinga - hope DS is better soon ds3 suffered with that as a small baby its horrid :(
As for the smear test I had one booked for thursday but cancelled it not sure if they do them when pregnant but i didnt want to risk it x
WOW indigo go you hope you get a BFP i really doQuote:

AFM went to the park today and as we left DS2 wanted a poo so went to the loo - he took foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr by the time i made it back to the car i had a bloodly parking ticket brilliant cheap day out not so much £40!!! or £80 if i dont pay within a week going to appeal but how do you write my toddler needed to poop in an appeal letter???
Petal - I had cramps everyday for about two weeks before DS2 came into the world. They started at 10pm and went on until 10am!! Until he came then it was a 48 hour labour!!! 48 hours!!! Mind you it was all pain free until I was 8cm dilated.
I would only consider high tech with a good clinic. If its cheap, but don't work you save nothing in the long run. If they could freeze DHs swimmers 3 cycles could be 25k. I can't belive that I would ever consider 25k as cheap! Also with four kids I would need to move. I was toying with the idea as we have a great school two miles down my road, but there is a great school in Hampshire that is the best school around here. So who knows. It's expensive here! If I owned this house it would 450k ish for a three bed semi!!!!!!! I could get a five bed detached for that back in Kent! Still both our jobs are here :¬(
I went to a RHS garden with the boys today. Love it there. So many babies there!!!!
LMW, yes you have to pay extra for flights and accomodation.
I didnt get twinges as such, ds1 was an induction and ds2 started as 'period pains' so we shall see :-/ I think hes gonna be a novemeber baby!!!
Pinga - my smear was due when I fell pg. My doc and midwife said it's safe to have while PG but it can irritate your cervix and make it bleed so they don't like to do it over here. But then again my smears have always been ok. I am sure there wouldn't treat abnormal cellls while PG though? I would ask your doc the pros and cons and if they do routinely treat abnormal cells during PG over in Aus x
I have just asked DH if he wants to go on holiday to Cyprus next year - he just rolled his eyes at me lol! Poor bloke....
Might spend all my savings on a new MPV before I decide to have another baby, then I can't offord it anymore :¬)
Why does the time on here say 11.59am when its like 6pm??
Hi Maybe, ive followed a few ladies who went to Genesis and got BFP's, check out the forums on here, i was on them alot a few months ago. Dr Savvas charges £4000 for 2nd cycles, it may even be euros, id have to check my emails, he also does his own sperm sort so the embrios are mostly the desired gender, i think this is why alot of people choose him. I believe if i didnt do a sperm sort all mine would be boys!! lol. I can send you all my emails from him if you like, just pm me :-)) x
Hahaha, your dh sounds like mine, i just get 'that look' when i mention cyprus lol x
Just found out our next door but one neighbour have had their baby a week early, a baby girl of course, they didnt know what they were having and is thier first. So im just know what all the nosy neighbours opposite will be saying once my boy arrives. You think you're dealing with things but theres always bloody something to knock you down again :-(( x
oh petal, sorry to hear you have taken a knock. I hope your wonderful new little boy arrives soon to perk you up! Big hugs! X
Wow, you girls love to chat....
Petal, I am sorry you are feeling down. I know it is hard but think, before you know it, he will be here and the comments will be over. People only say something once!!!
My husbands brother has just announced his wife is pregnant and in my head that baby is already a girl! Somehow I just don't feel 'lucky' enough to ever get a girl no matter what I do.
To cap it all off, had a bad diet day... Took the kids to pizza hut for lunch with a friend. Tried not to go too mad but had to eat something as hadn't eaten all morning!!
Thanks for your welcomes and Pinga, hope your DS feels better soon. xx
Just saying Hi :)
Thanks girls, i know im being silly its just so annoying how some people get what you want without even trying first time, she will be hanging all the pink things on the washing line soon for me to see no doubt!!
Hi babymad, how are you doing? you will have to put your ticker up on here! x
keep your chin up hunny!!! your baby will just be as wonderfull as theres. ignore the nosy neighbours!!!Quote:
