The Joys Of TTC, Not As Simple As It All Seems!!



We all assume that making a baby is simple, or i did tbh. Boy meets girl, girl and boy fall in love, sometimes get married. They have sex, a period is missed, a pregnancy test is taken, tears of joy, swollen feet, sore boobies, expanding appetite and belly and finally a beautiful bundle of joy after 9 month.

Boy can we be so wrong!

It is no where near as simple as that sadly.

I first started TTC (trying to conceive) after my DH had his vasectomy reversal done 26Th Jan 2011. A week after his operation we were back to DTD (doing the deed)

10 week later i got my BFP(big fat positive). Sadly as you may have read i miscarried at 5 week.

However to actually get where i got took a lot of planning.

Has anyone watched inside the human body the first part? Interesting i must say!

So you only have a certain amount of time in your cycle where you can actually conceive. In a standard 28 day cycle you ovulate 14 days after the first day of your period.

A few people do the SMEP (Sprem meets egg plan)
this entails you to have sex on certain days and miss other. Imo a pain in the rear end. It can take the pleasure out of making love.

There are ovulation tests that require you to pee on a stick at certain times in the day, this measures your LH surge (luteinizing hormone)this signals your ovaries telling them its time to release the egg. I found these not only cheap but reliable. You can buy them in bulk off ebay from fertility friend.

Some people can tell when they are ovulating by their cervical mucus.

So who though maing a baby was so easy??? I certainly don't any more.
I know once my ttc ban is up (13 more days) i will be taking my time, no peeing on a stick for me, no checking my mucus, where my cervix is or any of that. I will just dtd and see what happens. Although if nothing by September i will be charting once again.

What types of ways did you use/are using to ttc??

Poetic Thursday- Daddies day coming up to the remebrance of 9/11

I contemplated on whether to save this for sunday or publish it today for my poetic thursday, i figured today was the right one. Im not entirly sure on who wrote this, but it touched my heart and i have to say left me in tears. Coming up to Sunday which is 9/11 take a second to remeber the lives lost. Daddies day Her hair was up in a pony tail, her favorite dress tied with a bow. Today was 'Daddy's Day' at school, and she couldn't wait to go. But her mommy tried to tell her, that she probably should stay home. Why the kids might not understand, if she went to school alone. But she was not afraid; she knew just what to say. What to tell her classmates of why he wasn't there today. But still her mother worried, for her to face this day alone. And that was why once again, she tried to keep her daughter home. But the little girl went to school, eager to tell them all. About a dad she never sees, a dad who never calls. There were daddies along the wall in back, for every

ITS ALL ABOUT THE IVF

Image
The road of IVF So 2017 brought us our first round of ivf. It's a surreal experience to say the least.   Such a roller coaster of emotions, one minute your up and then next your sat there crying at an advert because the girl on it made cupcakes to say sorry! It's a process that challenge your fears, opens your eyes and makes you see things in a whole different perspective. We started with our initial meeting where we spent an hour signing all our paperwork. This was basically to give permission on what would happen with our eggs that didn't quite become good enough, permission to freeze some if any were viable. To even transfer and etc, it all had to be signed for. Also to use the embryos should my husband die. This includes counselling. So with that we had bloods and a scan done too, then it was just a case of waiting for 1st day of cycle to begin. Drugs were delivered.  My big white box of little miracles. Cycle day one came....another

Im a blogger get me out of here! memeTagathon

So I'm joining in with the lovely Kates Meme Tagathon . Its a little game where we answer questions we have been given, i will then tag other in it...watch for your tag! It is very simple to do and the rules are as follows 1) Answer the 10 questions and consider the mission. 2) Tag a blogger or two or more to do the same 3) Come back to my original blog post and tell me you have done the questions and answers . I have tried to make the questions Ok for those who watch the television programme and those that don’t. 1. What one thing about being a parent makes you scream “Get me out of here!” For me it would have to be arguing. My two argue like cat and dog and when your trying to sort it out and they scream on top of each other you can guarantee that's what your going to shout! 2. What skills, if any, do you have that would be useful in the jungle? I would be the ditzy blonde i think (although brunette atm ) I am often told i come out with the most funny statements
