TTC GIRL- MAY 2012

[Ribbons]

Ok so there is a couple of us in the 2ww then!
Ribbons i always knew with my others (4 Pregnancies) I have 2 boys and have had 2 terminations, Please do not judge me for that it was for personal reasons and a personal choice.
The first thing i noticed was around 6dpo was my nipples changed, i would get extra wee pimple like bumps around them. that was always my first giveaway everytime apart from my last pregnancy, actually i didnt know i was pregnant with the last, my partner actually came up and patted my tummy and joked and said when are ya due? and it got me thinking shit my period is late and took a test that night and sure enough i was. After a long talk we opted to terminate as I had only had surgery a week prior and the doctor advised us that there was a very very high chance that the baby would have problems and deformalities, we had 3 ultrasounds and all were abnormal so we opted to terminate for these reasons, i know it sounds selfish but it is what was best for our family at the time, after that i decided that i could never undergo another termination, it was so hard to deal with and I had counselling for about a year after.
I may have to check out that website,
Ribbons, what was you CM like in the tww? arrggh i just want it to be next week already!
I will be keeping busy, my baby is gonna be 4 on saturday! my stepson is 4 today! so we had Stepsons birthday party on sunday, my son will have his this coming saturday, I have really spoilt him sooo much! just having trouble deciding what kind of cake to do! he loves motorbikes but it will be so hard to attempt to do a bike cake! I want to make it extra special for him as its his first real birthday party where he will have friends over and not just family. His sperm donor (nmy ex hubby) is a dick and is not coming because my partner will be there. ex hubby lives in aussie and flyes home every 8 weeks for 2 weeks so he can see the kids, well thats what he says, he picks them up for an hour after school each day and then drops them back to me and will have them for 1 night (not even 24hours) on the weekend then have them one night the floowing weekend. i had an argument with him la few days ago about DS2 birthday as i had hired a hall to have it so him and his family wouldnt feel uncomfortable (as it would make them feel uncomfortable at my place) so hired a hall and he said he wouldnt come as my partner will be there, told him that it is not about him, me or my partner, told him he doesnt need to even look at my partner but can he please put our son first just for an hour but he wont, just proves just how selfish he is. arrgghh sorry i know off topic just neede to vent!

Kiesse, no worries, it's not my place to judge you made the best decision for you and your family at the time. That must have been really hard.

I had very little CM after O, then around 6-7DPO a bit of EWCM and for the past couple of days a LOT of EWCM! (I'm 14DPO today)

Happy birthday to your two sons! How sweet that they are the same age - I bet they will be best friends for life Sorry your ex is such a *@#$* - I can't believe he won't even come to his own son's b-day party for an hour!! I am so lucky that mine signed off rights to DS1 before he was even born... current DH adopted him.

Ribbons...thinking of you and hope the tests come back soon! The waiting is the worst part

So, I think I'm also in the 2ww. Probably another bust this month....so frustrating. My only weird symptom is yesterday I had a backache and back twinges on my lower back on the right side. I never get back pain, ever. . . so that was odd. Boobs a little sore but that happens even on cycles where I get AF, so thats nothing new. Honestly like another poster said I knew both times (or suspected) when I had chemicals this year that I was pregnant due to symptoms (metallic taste in my mouth, vivid dreams, cramping, a tiny bit of nausea) but with my DSs I had ZERO symptoms with the exception of DS1 I threw up (but I also drank too much the night before -- I didn't know I was pregnant). I didn't stick to my plan of DTD every other day...so I might have missed the fertile window (especially since I don't test with OPK anymore). I keep having people ask me "are you going for the third? you always said you wanted three"....I'm trying!!! I hope we all get our BFP this month! I added baby aspirin this month and increased my folic acid....so maybe somehow that will help????

Ribbons - the 2 boys best of friends??? Can you not hear that screaming and yelling coming all the way from NZ? listen out and then you will know its me and them! They have their moments, when we have my step son for the weekend it means there are 3 boys and one always gets left out so there is always arguments and tantrums! especially since step son is an only child, when he is with his mum there is no competition or sharing and although he is not spoilt he does get everything he asks for when he asks for it like a drink something to eat etc, when he comes to ours its hard for him to share etc, so its just getting him use to it, and we only have him every 2nd weekend.
I am soooo tempted to take a test, its taking all my wilpower not too!

I go AWOL for a couple of days and miss all the action!!!

My dream - fantastic news, many congratulations. I have everything crossed for you.

Babylove - hope everything went ok for you and you get good news.

Ribbons - Try not to worry, it is far too early to worry and I am sure you will get a good scan in a couple of weeks

AFM, 7 DPO today, really trying not to symptom spot as have been here for too many previous months. I am planning to test on Sunday at 12DPO if AF doesn't show her ugly face first!

Have a good day people. xx

Hmm just a question, out of curiosity how do you tell if a test has an evap line or if its a bfp. Just curious to know the difference

PeeOnAStick.com is a fun place to go to learn about prego tests.. but evaps are usually very thin and gray.
ghostlines are thicker... and a BFP has PINK in it!

Another great place to go to see a lot of prego tests is www.countdowntopregnancy.com They have a gallery of them and a chance for site members to vote!

Here's a prime example of an evap:

I am thinking and praying for you today. I am sure you will be able to watch the actual x-ray and see the dye flowing through your tubes. I got to watch and it was very informative and as well as exciting! Are you taking some meds before?
