Hi ladies

Good to see some girls are hanging out in this forum. We are 15 weeks pregnant now with our first baby. We spent probably 2 years in the "seeing what happens" camp, and then the last 6 making more of an effort to get the timing right. Enjoy your journey!]]> Sun, 29 Sep 2013 18:22:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5849770&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5849770 <![CDATA[The "seeing what happens" girls : I&#039;m in this boat too.

I'm in this boat too. I came off the pill in July. After just over 11 years on it I'm now trying to get a handle on what's a 'normal' cycle for me. Last one was 35 days (now 33 and counting).

I'm not telling anyone that we're TTC (albeit being pretty casual about it). But I'm getting a bit over the expectant questions, mostly from people that aren't that close to us!!]]> Sat, 28 Sep 2013 09:19:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5849683&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5849683 <![CDATA[The "seeing what happens" girls : Hello.

Hi new girls (and any other regulars still lurking around). I've been a bit awol lately, have found the TTC process really frustrating and upsetting. We're actively trying, although I'm only tracking my cycle through fertility friend and then hoping to get the timing right - although we haven't yet. Still just plodding along...will look to get some help if we haven't conceived by September.
Hope you're all well.]]> Mon, 13 May 2013 20:59:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5835193&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5835193 <![CDATA[The "seeing what happens" girls : Monkeydiva I just bought some...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5834265&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5834265 Author: Charly28

So I guess my spotting meant nothing, AF arrived today :) Sort of way earlier than expected, I had pegged Saturday as the earliest day due to when Dr said I was ovulating (had EWM for my smear).

So, wondering if there is anyone who is going to pop in to help me?

I've never had spotting between AFs visits before, ever. I've got some now, which would be roughly around the right time for implantation. Do I just assume that it's still my body coming of the contraceptive pill and not read anything into it, or do a wee woot! that it might actually mean something?]]> Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:43:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5833987&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5833987 <![CDATA[The "seeing what happens" girls : If you were just ssing what happens...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5832673&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5832673 Author: Spitfire19

Hi all I'm new on here although have been 'lurking' and reading a lot of your posts and advice for the last few months. I came off the pill at the start of the year, after 15 years and we have just been waiting to "see what happens" we've been eating well and cut back on alcohol and taking vitamins and folic acid, I also had a check up at doc and all seems good so now we wait, although I have just brought some OPK and was interested to know who uses these and the best advice as to when to use them and how often since we are really just "seeing what happens" lol ]]> Mon, 15 Apr 2013 20:50:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5832540&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5832540 <![CDATA[The "seeing what happens" girls : Well seeing as I&#039;ve only...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5832529&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5832529 Author: Spitfire19

Well seeing as I've only had one full cycle off the contraceptive pill, I've only gone for marking down the start of my cycle in my diary I think I'll just keep doing that for now so that I can see if I'm straight back in to being regular, and to give a general idea on fertility dates (without going "You Shall BD on This Date to Ensure Best Chance of Conceiving") to BD around. I think DH would stress to much if he knew he had to "perform" on certain days, so it's more for his sanity than for mine. That, and I'd rather keep it more fun and spontaneous than having to make sure we BD at a certain time.

To be honest, when we conceived our second (I'd accidentally got pregnant once before with DH, despite taking morning after pill but it ended in m/c) we were very lucky. I started charting, but without temps for one month, the first month I used temps too we got pregnant. But yes, the wait can still make ya crazy. I didn't know much about my cycles then, and my cycles are still wobbly now thanks to breastfeeding etc. Looks like we will start seeing what happens officially in mid June when I return from UK. ie: we might stop using condoms.

Are you charting?

Hey gals. I just wanted to pop in here because DH & I know we want another bubba one day, but have said that we should wait until next year to really TTC. However, we're a bit slack with the old contraception sometimes (not completely, but you know)...and I'm charting out of curiosity.

Anywhooo, I felt like it'd be nice to be a part of a group where we can share charts etc without there being too much emphasis on the definite getting pregnant part right now.

Hi Natasha

I understand the predicament you're in. I started applying for new jobs 6 months ago, because my role at the time was sending me home tired and in tears most days. We had to have a serious discussion about "what ifs" at that point, as to qualify for full parental leave exceptions etc I'd need at least a year in the new role. However we decided that for my mental state, I needed to change jobs, and it would only mean being careful for the first 4 months. If something happened and a baby came along sooner than expected, then that was great. A friend once said to me you can't plan your life around a baby, because you could pass up opportunities, like this one. If a baby comes along in a couple of months, then thats excellent for you, and your boss will cope. However, it might take 6 months for your body to settle down after being on the pill for so long, so there's no point missing out on extra experience and money, right? Good luck!]]> Mon, 31 Dec 2012 10:31:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5822614&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5822614 <![CDATA[The "seeing what happens" girls : Hi all, merry christmas and happy...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5822612&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5822612 Author: PorterLou

Hi all, merry christmas and happy new year. Hope you have all had a great time. I've just had my sister and her family visiting for a few days, its been really awesome playing with my little nephew, although making it a bit hard when we really want a baby of our own...hopefully 2013 is our year (and everyone elses as well!).

Congrats escadachic. I was going to say having your tubes tied is a big decision, and if you're not 100% sure about it perhaps now's not the time, but it seems you've got 9+ months more to think about it!!

I am a lurker in this thread, but wanted to put my 2c in for your situation. I would put your own needs and plans before your work/boss's needs and wants. This is your WHOLE life you are creating. Your boss can hire more staff. My best friend made a decision regarding babies to suit her work and now wishes she hadn't done that.

PS.. congrats Escadachic (I think!)

No, not all women scream is hysterics like those young ones.

I for one, kind of sobbed quietly while I was in labour, during contractions. But that was more, I had no pain relief and that wasn't the plan, so the pain was scary and overwhelming. But yeah, I did so quietly. That was with #2. With #1 I swore at some family members who were telling me it was ok, while I was in pain LOL! But I was 24 back then. 30 with my second.

If you go by some of the women on "one born every minute". Some people are very silent. Like shockingly quiet.

I guess this is the most appropriate thread to join.

As, fact is, I am supposed to be getting my tubes tied in about 3 wks. So I wasn't trying. And we were using condoms, as I'm on no contraception. But DF decided to stop using them for some reason this month.

He's under the impression it'd be impossible to get my UTD, as when we were TTC our youngest, his sperm count came back as low. Yet it only took 3 months to get UTD. So clearly, he's not that low in sperm.

I know I ovulated just over a week ago.

For some reason, I think due to pregnant friends and family and friends with newborns. I have become rather clucky lately. Which is so not appropriate, considering I was so set that I want no more babies and was 100% sure about that and getting my tubes tied.

But now I'm freaking out about the op and second guessing my decision.

It's pretty much, if I'm pregnant, that's reality and I'll have another baby. If not, the tubes still get tied I guess.

It's hard to know whether I have symptoms or it's just my body playing tricks on me.

AF isn't due til this coming Saturday. So too early to test.

All I have is, indigestion, flatulence, headaches, tiredness and nausea and thinking some smells are just ick.

Also, bloating, feel lightheaded and easily getting out of breath(as in just running up the stairs) and back pain.

16 and pregnant... yea...! It's a bit like some women on One Born Every Minute- they are annoying! Anna- you are right, flat on your back isn't the best way to give birth if you can help it- unless you have the belts on to measure contractions and baby's heart rate then you don't really have a choice.

PL- I would go and seek help now. Has DH been checked? Males are easiest to rule anything wrong out- I made my DH go after month 3!

Hi everyone, haven't posted for a while so an update for me is: finally saw the Doctors at the hospital they said it is PCOS, but my blood results were normal. So they suggested starting on clomid. I found all the info a bit hard to understand and with me starting polytech, I've put it off. however they are keeping my file open for a year if things change for me.
PL I think that it after a year you should start thinking about help. Maybe just start by getting yourselves checked out just to make sure everything it working as it should. Not sure on the charting.
My thoughts on 16 and pregnant are that yea they don't appear to have the maturity to deal with the situation, but also they all seem to be lying flat on their backs which (from what I've read or been told) is not good for labour and can make it more painful. they also don't seem to give them any pain relief other than epidural so I'd guess that would affect things too.

So tomorrow is my ovulation day according to my dates. We have been casually BDing it this week but not too much. DH figures that because we conceived so easily the first time that it'll probably work again. I'm not so sure, but I have absolutely no evidence to say he is wrong so I'm happy with the casual approach. It makes for a very relaxed Mama, and a happy relationship so that's gotta be a good thing. Having some twinges - could be OV or early AF. I am wondering if my cycles are still sorting themselves out after the M/C. I have been taking my temp for the last week and using an app on my phone to chart it. This is more out of interest for my geeky self. But it is fascinating to me how our bodies work! My temp has been rising for the last few days so I guess by all accounts that means I'm OVing soon. We will wait and see.

We were just seeing what was going to happen but as soon as we decided on that we both kept getting signs that we are ready to really try ( like yesterday after I booked the Drs appointment after putting it off for over a month and then my cousin randomly faced booked me with "so you ready to have a baby yet?" it was crazy cause I have not mentioned anything to anyone.

Hi everyone, I just found this thread and thought it might be for me. I had a miscarriage about 6 weeks ago. It was our first baby.

I would like to get pregnant again, but I don't want to stress about it either. I started back at the gym about 4 weeks ago and am loving having my body back. I am feeling so much more positive.

DH is in two minds about children - he isn't sure he wants them but thinks he'll be fine when they get here. My age is a BIG consideration - I'm 39.

We got pregnant the first month I had my Mirena removed, so I am hoping it won't take too long this time. In saying that, I'm not worried if it takes a bit because I am really wanting to lose some weight and get fit and strong before conceiving.

So here I am!]]> Wed, 03 Oct 2012 13:29:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5815418&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5815418 <![CDATA[The "seeing what happens" girls : Hi Everyone, how are you getting...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5813603&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5813603 Author: PorterLou

Hi Everyone

BessieBear - I love you! Sorry for saying that - and I wasn't getting at you!! But there's a lot of pressure...you know!

Hope everyone is well - I have just had my first week of bootcamp which has been really awesome! I've lost weight already and has some really good workouts so fingers crossed I'll be back into my smaller sized clothes soon!

Rach, I understand what you're saying. I've just finished week 6 of my new job, and when the time came that I started applying and was then offered this job (and another at the same time!) I had to consider the parental leave thing as well. DF and I had a big conversation about it. In the end I was so miserable and stressed in my job that trying to make a baby was probably going to be harder anyway, cause i just couldn't relax. Putting it on hold seemed a small thing in the bigger picture, and in the end it really is only about 3 months that we have to be careful for. At the same time I have taken the opportunity to talk to my doctor about my skin and I'm now on antibiotics for 3 months (and its made a massive difference!!) So I guess my advice is if you want to move on to different things, then just do it. Babies will fit in wherever you are. And I'm taking the view that if something happens and I miss out of PPL, then so be it - ultimately our baby is longed for and hoped for, so that will be more important.

My 5 cents worth!]]> Sun, 02 Sep 2012 11:02:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5812018&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5812018 <![CDATA[The "seeing what happens" girls : Leaving Feilding was the best...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5811751&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5811751 Author: caliandjack

Welcome Hanger, and Hi to everyone else!

We are chugging along, still not really trying but not preventing either. Not expecting anything to happen so am trying to focus on other things! Really sick of Palmy right now, but not sure if I'm ready to leave either. Hard to know when the best time is. DH is just starting a new job and I like my job and it offers a bit of security. But it feels like I'm just waiting around up here. Always thought we would have our first child here, and then think about moving home (Upper Hutt) a year or so after. I think if we make the move and are still nowhere near starting a family it will feel like Palmy's just been a big waiting room. Don't wanna stay in my job just so that I'll be eligible for PPL, then find out two years down the track, still with no bubs, that it was a total waste of time! But then I don't wanna move on to other things and then have to can them because I'm suddenly UTD lol. Argh sorry about my ramblings I sound really negative, I guess I'm just a bit confused about what to do next.

I've been AWOL lately, it's been nice to be away from this site for a few weeks and just forget about it all.

How is everyone else doing?]]> Thu, 30 Aug 2012 17:54:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5811733&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5811733 <![CDATA[The "seeing what happens" girls : PorterLou wrote: Hope you&#039;re...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5811564&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5811564 Author: BessieBear

Hi Caliandjack, sorry to hear about your m/c, I hope you've been getting lots of love and support, and you're able to conceive again soon.

AFM, I'm looking forward to the Olympics being over so I can get some sleep!!! I've just finished week 3 of the new job - its going well. But coupled with the 3 uni papers and late nights/early mornings watching sport, I'm completely exhausted!! Its actually starting to cause a negative effect, cause I'm also feeling dizzy, somewhat nauseous and headachy. Need to do a bit of an overhaul of the routine, get off the crap food and back into exercise proper.

Right, DF has put the movie on (American Pie - the Reunion) so I'd better put the laptop away and watch it!! Have a good night.

Hi everyone - welcome in the new peeps (and the returning ones - hi Rach!). Hope you're all well. I'm good, about to start week 3 of my new job, and heading to chch to finally learn the ins and outs of my role. Exciting, but a bit nervous - its my first visit to Chch since before the September 10 earthquake so I'm not sure how different it might be.

The job is going pretty good - I'm so relieved to get out of the other place. It was the best decision I made to move on, but putting the baby making on hold for a few months has been hard (not that we were having much luck in the first place, but I don't like having to be careful, just in case).

Hope you're all well. Rach, how are you babe?]]> Sun, 05 Aug 2012 19:10:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5808615&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5808615 <![CDATA[The "seeing what happens" girls : Hi all Hubby and i have been ttc...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5807244&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5807244 Author: Kumeroa

Hey everyone, I was sort of in this thread not long after it started, but then progressed on to charting like a mad thing, so left here. Then I got over the charting and obsessing as it wasn't working for us so would quite like to hang in here again haha.

Atm I'm tracking which day of my cycle I'm on and we're trying to BD around day 15 but not overly gutted if this doesn't happen. There may be some underlying issue for us as we have been trying for 15 months to no avail, but not really wanting to go the Dr/FA route just yet.

Hi ladies, I'm going to slot in here

We are TTC#2 as of last night

Alittleloopy like you I've wanted to lose a few kg beforehand - at least 13kg so I'm working on that at the moment but last night we both gave in and decided to "see what happens".

We have a 2y8mo son who wasn't so much 'planned' so this is our first planned pregnancy.

I'm not really keen to tell friends and family that we are trying for now so I decided to come on here and join a group.

We are super excited to see what happens, I'm just such a big mouth so keeping things secret are hard. Especially when every second question from people is "when are you going to have number 2!".

I'm tracking for the purpose of knowing when AF arrives but after last night had a quick look to see when I should be OV as well. ]]> Tue, 03 Jul 2012 20:05:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5804619&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5804619 <![CDATA[The "seeing what happens" girls : awww good luck with the new job!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5803449&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5803449 Author: lilmissimpatient

Hi lilmissimpatient, welcome in!

Hi Everyone - where've ya'll been?? My excuse is exams and a crazy work schedule which I have managed to fit interviews around and score a brand new job!! Woo hoo!! After 5 1/2 years at my current organisation I'll be handing in my notice and starting a new job at the end of July!! I'm really excited, but it means the baby making is on hold for a few months, so that I can be in my new job for a minimum of 12 months before I take parental leave. Its been a tough decision but mentally I needed the new job, and since we seem to be having some trouble getting pregnant, it seems like nows the time before we start looking into reasons why we can't (or, in all likelihood, its work thats making it stressful and we'll end up pregnant unexpectedly!).

Thought I would pop my head in here, as I am new here and new to the TTC thing.

I have two babes who were accidental and for the very first time I'm actively TTC. This will be my third and I'm trying to figure everything out.

My DP decided it was time to think about another bub, mid May (helpfully right around the time I suspect I ov'd) so while I haven't been keeping much track of my cycles, I do know when AF was at the beginning of May and I've kept track of things since then.
I'm not tracking much at the moment as I feel a bit clueless. I tried to read up on temping and CM stuff and wow, so much to try and get my head around. So for now I'm going to stick with keeping track of AF and hopefully a rough idea of OV dates and days we've BD.
I'm using PinkPad on my phone to take little notes... to try and remind myself when I'm due for AF etc.

Anyways... *hi*]]> Fri, 01 Jun 2012 21:21:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5800635&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5800635 <![CDATA[The "seeing what happens" girls : Hi Everyone Tanithe - congratulations,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5799819&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5799819 Author: PorterLou

Hi Everyone

Tanithe - congratulations, thats really great news. I hope everything is great - best wishes for a safe and happy pregnancy.

Chonnny, I agree with Anna, maybe get checked out just in case.

Hope you're all well - I'm busy studying and working and keep my heading above water (applying for new jobs!). Became an auntie again for the 6th time!! Have 2 nieces and 4 nephews! Very exciting, although a little distressing to know my younger sister is basically finished having children, and I still can't get started! And she's 7 years younger than me! Feel a little bit like a failure, but fingers crossed my time will come!! Hope you're all having a great Saturday?

I found out a few weeks ago that I am pregnant. Due 8th of December so I've joined the dec thread. Have had lots of problems with infection (like last time) so hoping that things turn out better this time...and have had incredibly bad morning sickness.

Hi alittleloopy and metis - join the crowd.

alittleloopy - I track mine, even though we're still not properly charting - only cause I want to know when abouts AF might be due so I don't get caught un-prepared (I have vivid memories of being behind the girl in form 2 who got hers for the first time and didn't know until too late...).
Metis - I hope you have some joy soon. I can't imagine how this must be for you.

Hi Everyone,

new to this thread, ttc since october 2010. Still trying to see what happens, although I'll be 37 in August so time is starting to run out...
Had most of the tests done and everything seems to be in order.
Agree with those who say that it is very depressing seeing everybody else get pregnant without seemingly even trying!
Have talked to Fertility Assiciates, and after going for a HSG I now have to wait 3 mmonths to see what happens and then I have to decide whether I want to go a more invasive route.
*sigh*

I'm doing a BBS in Management and Business Information Systems. I only have 5 papers left, so I should be finished by the end of the year (FX). However the role that I'm currently in was the result of a restructure and I had no idea what it would be like - so I've spent nearly two months now working ridiculous hours pulling together the organisation's business plan plus dealing with the stress of not studying when I should be.

Tanithe, I'm so sorry to hear about your relationship. I hope you have a supportive network of family and friends around you as you work through this. Much love and hugs, and I hope you meet someone wonderful and have lots of children soon.

Sounds like everyone is feeling the same way - I get frustrated every month when AF arrives, even when I know we haven't done anything at optimal baby making time. This month I got my hopes stupidly high when I was 5 days late, and I know we'd had a "busy" month...but alas, she arrived. I'm struggling to be patient, when everyone around me is spitting them out without even trying.

Anna - congrats on the appointment, I hope you get some answers soon.

Girls, all I can say is what I tell myself, its just not my time yet, but it will be soon, and what wonderful amazing parents we will be. But in the meantime I can think how nice it is sometimes to be able to go out for dinner just the two of us.]]> Sat, 03 Mar 2012 12:34:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5784783&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5784783 <![CDATA[The "seeing what happens" girls : So sorry to hear Tanithe!

I'm still here although I will be leaving. Unfortunately its not due to being pregnant. My partner and I have just split up so I won't be trying to get pregnant again for a long time. Any relationship break up is hard but this is incredibly difficult because I came so close to having what I wanted in life and now I've lost it all.

I should of had Olympus in December, and just last week I finally got offered a teaching job so if my life went the way I thought it would I would be completely at my peak now instead I'm at my low. My little boy isn't here, my partner has left but at least I still have my job I guess.

Still a chance I could be pregnant I spose. We did try this month and af isn't due for another few days so will pop back in and let you know what's happening on the baby front.]]> Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:33:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5784518&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5784518 <![CDATA[The "seeing what happens" girls : aha i get how you feel, hubby...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5784108&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5784108 Author: AnnaShev

aha i get how you feel, hubby and I have been trying for what seems like forever, but your mum is right thinking about it doesnt help! i would suggest going to see your gp, they can organise all the tests and refer you on if need be.

as for me had an exciting day yesterday, got another appointment at the hospital, this time for an ultrasound. Also applied for a nursing course a while ago and found out i got accepted for it so im kinda excited about it but not sure how it's going to work with the ttc plan. have tried talking to hubby bout it bit he seems indifferent to the whole idea ]]> Wed, 29 Feb 2012 18:03:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5784108&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5784108 <![CDATA[The "seeing what happens" girls : Hi all, I have not been on here...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=5784086&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#5784086 Author: aha

Hi all,

I have not been on here for ages, decided for a while that the over-focusing was a bad idea and that there seem to be a few of us that aren’t getting anywhere, in spite of trying, and envying those that are. So for a while I tried the opposite – I started smoking(!) and quit focusing on becoming pregnant, although I still kept a record of my cycles and used the ovulation monitor. Even my mother told me to relax and get really, really drunk! Anyway it’s now March and we still have no takers – AF just on her way out. I quit smoking a month ago as I realise it’s stupid, but giving the finger to living like a saint in the hope of getting pregnant was quite fun for a while.

So it has now been 1 full year of trying for our first. We couldn’t possibly do any more and it’s seriously depressing. Many women in my office have recently gone on maternity leave or are pregnant. I’m just getting a redundancy and no baby – yippee.

I’m no longer sure what to say or do. My man is hopeful for a natural pregnancy but the odds aren’t looking good! He wants us to have a baby almost more than I do(!) but I can see I’m going to have to project manage us getting any help, even a sperm test. I’m now 34. We want 3 children so whether we like it or not urgency is required.

Tanithe I agree – it is so hard to watch those who don’t seem to care that much just getting pregnant left, right and centre. I can’t help but feel like a failure as a woman, given I’ve never been pregnant at all. Even Grand Designs had me in tears the other night when the woman popped out two children, seemingly indifferently, while their dream home was being built. My requirements are so few! I want something natural, free, yet so far impossible.

Kia kaha and congrats to those who are expecting.

Apologies for the rant :)

Hi girls, is there anyone left in here? I'm still here, ever so patiently seeing what happens. Uni starts tomorrow, work has been hectic, so I suspect things are just gonna be busy!! Did round the bays this morning, only 7K cause I've been very lazy and not trained. Now I'm spending a nice afternoon on the couch watching Bambi (yes, Bambi!).

hope you're all well??

Sorry I haven't been in here for ages hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years. Congrats to everyone who as had BFP while I have been away and welcome to all the new people.

Haven't been on here for a while as we decided to postpne when we were goint to start seeing what happens so were waiting till we get back from Australia at the end of this month YAY so excited I can't wait its been so hard not to tell any of our friends or family but we did that last time and cos it took awhile it was getting annoying getting asked all the time if we were pregnant yet.

Also am going to try and not tell anyone till were 12wks as lastime we lost the baby and it was hard telling people we had lost the baby more so for there reactions.

Hope everyone enjoys their long weekend!!

Hi all,

Sorry I haven't been very chatty on here. I got a positive test a couple of weeks back though so guess I should join one of the 'due in' threads now. Haven't had my dating scan yet so I'm not sure which one, but going by my own dates I think it'll be late September/early October.

Hi PorterLou, see youve spotted in my Jan '12 group but my wee (or not so wee as it turns out) girlie Brenna arrived last Tuesday at 1 week and 4 days overdue.
She is just lovely and we are all pretty smitten (DD is taking time to adjust but we are getting there!).

hey hope y'all had a fantastic christmas and new year. Have still not had any luck on the job front so now I'm just trying to get some relief work in the meantime.

Still not having any luck on the pregnancy front. Have been using ovulation predictor kits but find them really hard to interpret because I nearly always get 2 lines and on more than one day of the month the lines are so similar in color it's hard to tell if its positive or not. I'm going to give up if it doesn't work this month and just try to not think about it...never really that easy but it's been 6 months of hard out trying and we are getting no where.

Hows everyone else getting on?]]> Fri, 20 Jan 2012 14:38:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=1424289&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#1424289 <![CDATA[The "seeing what happens" girls : lol PL i can sympathise, was back...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=1421429&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#1421429 Author: AnnaShev

bubalys - I'm in our nations great capital! We have some pretty tight criteria (like has to be CBD), so we are limited. Are you on the weddings forum?

Finished my shopping, well, only have my secret santa to go (but I've figured that out) and to get something extra for DF. Now to just focus on DF's shopping...

AF arrived properly today, so thats good. Possibly, if I think about it, the (TMI alert) light spotting a couple of days ago is not really it starting, so maybe I've been tracking it wrong? ]]> Wed, 21 Dec 2011 20:02:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=1417796&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#1417796 <![CDATA[The "seeing what happens" girls : POAS and I got the faintest wee...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38520&PID=1417699&title=the-seeing-what-happens-girls#1417699 Author: Emilzz

No AF here for me, but only by a day. Wierd things going on with my cycle each month, so I'm not even sure if I'm late or not due till tomorrow.

hi ladies was in the waiting to ttc thread not really waiting as such. Had first full cycle since coming off the mini pill now all good to go.

Not charting this time apart from keeping track of when AF arrives and cycle length 35 days is normal for me.

At least DH will still be on AL when I'm due to ov more chance of bding.
