I’ve been naughty

[OzGirlNat]

Because I’ve got to go overseas for work in November, we’d decided to wait to ttc until May so that, even if I got pregnant straight away, I should still be able to fly. However, last night we kind of threw caution to the wind and had a little practice bd. We figured that the flights haven’t been booked yet so if I get pregnant before they are, then work will just have to find someone else to go as I’ll be due around that time so won’t be able to fly.

I realise that this is all subject to me actually being able to get pregnant but I’m going down the ‘think positive’ route. By my calculations, I should be ov during this weekend so hopefully we’ll be getting plenty of in for the next few days.

Why are men always so sensible? It's infuriating.

I'm going to be really impatient to try again come May. It's going to be hard to stop now we've started.

That's my OH too. I always follow my heart (if i'm allowed lol) but OH uses his head and is usually sensible. Bugger lol x

Do you really have to wait Nat? What would happen if you didn't go abroad for this job would you be upset for yourself or are you just worried about letting your employer down.

Oh no, I wouldn't be bothered for myself. I just don't want to let work down, I think they're going to be miffed enough that I'd be going off on maternity leave without it costing them loads of money to transfer the flights over to a colleague. I'm really worried about telling work actually Not only because I'm not sure how they'll take it but my boss has the biggest mouth and will tell EVERYONE but just tell them to keep it to themselves.

 

[mustard]

Well they don't have to know it was planned do they. They also don't need to know how long you've known your pregnant for. So as long as your not too sick in the first few weeks you could probably keep it to yourself for quite a while and then just tell them you've only just found out your pregnant. What could they say? I know I'd feel bad letting my boss down as well but you have to do what's right for you. Plus if they shout as you when you're pregnant you can cry loads and blame it on hormones and then they will feel really bad.

Well, just a quick update.....I don't think our chances of a BFP are good this month. Not that I really expected it of course, I'm not that lucky, but my body seems to have conspired against me.

Usually I have very clear signs of ovulation, EWCM and even abdominal pains. But this month, nothing! So I'm not even sure if I've ovulated or, if I have, when. And we didn't get to do as much BD as we would have liked. I was out for a friends birthday on Friday night and was exhaused when I got home, I was out and about busy all day Saturday and DH went out on Saturday night. So we only got to do it twice in the end. Wednesday night and Thursday night.

I'm still keeping everything crossed but not really expecting anything. So May is our next shot and I'm clearing the diary!

 

[mustard]

Aww well I hope you're wrong and get the BFP.

Its weird how our bodies seem to conspire against us isnt it. I was just getting the hang of checking cervical mucus and getting to know my cycles but then this month I don't seem to have ovulated at all and now I want to check by doing bbt etc but I can't start charting that till first day of next cycle and this cycle won't end its cd47 now and still no sign of AF. i know that's nothing compared to some of the girls on here but mine were always regular before I went on the pill (9yrs ago) and since coming off it they were getting shorter the last couple were 35 and 38 days so I don't know what's going on with this one. Its driving me mad!!

 

[OzGirlNat]

Thanks Mustard/ AF due on 12th so a week and a half to wait.

It must be so hard for you having erratic cyles like that. Especially getting to cd 47. I'm sure our brains send a little message to our ovaries as soon as we start thinking about ttc. I hope your cycle settles down soon hun. It must be so frustrating, I really feel for you.

Fortunately (at this point it feels like a good thing), I've never found a pill that suits me. They make me feel sick and/or put on weight and/or behave like a complete psycho lunatic. So I've never been able to take it and my cycles have been more or less regular. 29ish days with the odd blip of occasional 35ish day ones. (Which resulted me in being scared sh1tless I was pregnant and being so relieved the hpt was negative. )

 

[mustard]

Well to be honest with you up until this month I have never really been frustrated by my body and I just figured the long cycles were due to coming off the pill and would settle down but its been 10 months now. I just always assumed everything with me would work fine as I have always been healthy (i've never even had a day off school or work sick in my life) and i've never had problems with the pill or PMT or anything. Because we knew my OH was 'subfertile' and he's had health issues I always thought about him being the 'weak link' and worried about his health not my own so I'm a bit pee'd off to say the least.

 

[mustard]

I was obviously overconfident. Serves me right!!
