About Rachael
I have a daughter already, she is 6 in February and she was not planned so it would be just my luck, the time in my everyday living that I program it, it won’t happen!
I bought married for the 2nd time in April to my soul mate, and am blissfully satisfied. We both equally would like a boy or girl as soon as possible, my trouble is that after I determine I want to do something, I want to do it now so this waiting around has received me heading nuts previously! I haven’t been charting my temps, I only know the date of the beginning of my LMP (28th Dec), I have not truly paid substantially consideration to it until eventually now, and my cycle adjustments each individual so normally so you just in no way know.
The only motive I came up with the 11th of Jan for my “O” (ovulation) day was mainly because of the distinctive web-sites that calculate your because of day and give you the “O” day as well….. so there is a whole ton of guess work likely on. I experienced an IUD which was only eliminated final Thursday, they say you can get pregnant straight after… but times immediately after?? We’ll have to hold out and see. So the hubby was additional than joyful with all the BD (little one dancing) going on over the weekend and in all probability all over again for the up coming couple of evenings, just to be guaranteed. I convey to you what although, I experience like a genuine dag laying in mattress soon after with a pillow underneath my butt in hopes that gravity will assist us out

How am I sensation? Great! I have energy which I haven’t experienced most of this month… I do not truly feel sick immediately after I take in, which I did for a several times previous week… I really do not truly feel like I need to have a nap this afternoon… appear to assume of it, had last week transpired next 7 days, I’d be guaranteed I was up the duff! (Fantastic book by the way!!) We have been undertaking a large amount of examining, him being a 1st timer, he needs to know all the things way in advance of it transpires so he can be organized. It’s so sweet and so superb to have these kinds of a supportive partner this time around… extremely suggest just one of all those!
No genuine actual physical signs, not that I anticipate nearly anything this early… some CM that is distinct, besides for a very little pink tinge which I have had due to the fact the IUD was taken off, although far fewer now… Some months I really feel some soreness when the “o” comes about, but very little this thirty day period, which has me nervous that a person was not produced or something… I’m absolutely sure I’m worried about very little. Optimistic but pessimistic all at the identical time I’m absolutely sure the IUD remaining out for only days will make it difficult, but then people have reported receiving pregnant in the first thirty day period, so there is hope but never want to get them up too higher. Longing for the wait to be above and wishing there was a exam you could do 2 weeks before!!

Exhausted today, but which is almost certainly mainly because I didn’t get any snooze owing to me straining a tricep attempting to open up the bed room window even though laying down in bed final night… just concluded BD and didn’t want to sit up all the way, foolish I know, but I guess you do almost everything you can when TTC. Almost nothing is sore, no cramps and negligible CM, sort of tricky to explain to when your leaking his… properly, you know what I imply.
Am heading through combined feelings these days on a single hand, I want it to be this month and I want to know now. On the other hand, there are certain occasions coming up that signifies that upcoming month would be substantially superior, in addition I will have been on folate for a complete month by then, and a couple other things… I guess if it takes place, it takes place and we’ll just deal with matters as they come up, but currently I will not be unhappy if it doesn’t come about this month… tomorrow may perhaps be a full diverse tale while. I’ll let you know

Can time go any slower??? What is even worse is that I know that I however have at the very least 11 – 20 odd days before I’ll know! I go on vacations at the conclude of tomorrow so ideally amongst now and the 27th of Jan (when I have to occur back again to function) it will go a whole lot more quickly. I system to keep on to produce down a minimal something each day… how sad is it that I in fact appear forward to accomplishing it simply because it means that an additional working day has passed 🙂
Experience pretty great right now, thinking of. Same CM as yesterday and nevertheless can’t inform if it is his or mine : ) Nonetheless BD! He could do this each day but I’m starting off to want a crack, not that I haven’t appreciated it while. It’s unique when you are undertaking it for a individual explanation and not just for satisfaction. I speculate how prolonged I’ll love it before it becomes a chore… here is hoping it does not get extended to comprehensive the endeavor!
Practically nothing is sore, no cramps, no nothing… how boring!

4 down, how quite a few to go?? Holiday seasons at the end of right now, am striving to emphasis on those people and some major R & R. Items have been frantic and I could genuinely use it right now.
Okay, the Up the Duff e book is certainly hilarious! I’m up to 19 months and I haven’t even conceived yet… how unhappy. Just cannot put it down but if I devour it before we get there, I won’t have anything at all to go through! To be genuine even though, am not hanging for the remedy as much as I was a several days ago, I consider that is since I have occur to the summary that up coming thirty day period would match in improved with our designs. This is likely a very good issue, fewer disappointment that way. And if we are thriving, so be it, I’ll nonetheless be just as content.
Almost nothing exciting to explain to now, no indications of both conception or AF… not that I count on just about anything just still. I did wake up with a sore throat, ear ache and an incredible urge to go again to snooze even though. Have to be coming down with one thing. Usual, just as I go on holiday seasons!

Nonetheless on the “hoping it is not this month” sensation which is very good simply because I feel I would be going definitely nuts by now.

No other physical indicators of something.. how uninteresting! ying to try to eat healthier and avoid alcoholic beverages and diet regime smooth drinks and so forth.

In Terrigal now, did not do any BD when in Newcastle for claimed rationale, additionally youngster wasn’t able to go to rest until absolutely everyone else went to bed, so 2 nights in a row she was up until after 11pm! Cranky child and cranky mum… Do not feel that I am hormonal , just more than worn out.
BD this early morning, cos we could! We have our possess room in this article 🙂 Yet again, no actual physical signs and symptoms despite the fact that I’m quite positive we’re previous fertile time period.
Monday, 18th January, 2004 – 8DPO
Head again to Canberra today, am exhausted from all the socialising but it has been truly great. These previous 4 days have just flown and I have rarely thought about our strategy and continue to not fussed but preferring following month.
Thick, stringy and creamy CM this morning, which marks the conclude of fertile zone, does not it?? Almost nothing else at this stage… is this dragging on for you too??
Wednesday, 20th January, 2004 – 10DPO
Nonetheless on vacations, now in Bairnsdale. Made a decision to go and see my my aunt in Sale, she saw my piece of paper with all my folate and multivitamin dosages on them and asks me if we are “trying”, I have to admit that we are. She asks me what sex I want, and I want a boy. Then she asks me if I know how to get just one?!? So we go in the other area for some in depth conversations about my cycle, CM, BD and dates… not a dialogue I pictured obtaining with my Aunt, while we worked out that my cycle is for a longer period that I to start with thought… very well, all I experienced to do was actually believe about it to work it out but hadn’t finished to date! So, lengthy story short, when I thought the fertile zone was more than, it almost certainly wasn’t and if we really do not get bub this month, I know how to get my boy following thirty day period. No CM at the second, we are all dry and not absolutely sure but BB’s are a very little tender on the sides.
Friday, 22nd January, 2004 – 12DPO*
Property now and have seemed into carrying out a distinct course this calendar year which would necessarily mean me staying in Canberra as an alternative of heading up to Sydney for 17 weekends this year… am pondering that with a full time occupation and performing the baby point, that this will choose a substantial quantity of anxiety off me. Also, we are considering about skipping Mardi Gras this calendar year, partly since I’ll be on training course right here in Canberra that weekend (if I get acknowledged) and the other people who ended up going with us are also unable to attend… and then there goes any motive I had to get expecting up coming thirty day period instead than this month… which is superior and bad…. undesirable due to the fact now I actually want to know if I am up the duff or not!!! But have still to make a business determination on that one… No CM, BB’s beginning to get sore, but only just.

Went searching nowadays, acquired a pendulum. When I was chatting to my naturopath previously this month, I questioned if there was a way to tell if I was expecting in advance of the traditional assessments would say optimistic. She then advised me about making use of the pendulum to ask questions… I’m partly sceptical but also hopeful. So I just take it dwelling and commence asking questions… it claims sure to “Am I pregnant?”! Secretly more than the moon but at the very same time, require it to be verified first. It also mentioned that I would not test optimistic until Monday… Monday?!? That’s so far absent?!? I hope it is mistaken on that a person. Look at it a handful of situations now to make certain that I wasn’t imagining matters it is regular, damn it! BB’s a minor sorer but not as sore as they can get and they are slower to get sore this time.
Tuesday, 26th January, 2004 – 16DPO
Am on class nowadays and more than the past 2 days we have manufactured some firm decisions… Mardi Gras is off, if they settle for me in the Canberra study course, then I will do it and that means that we can do child this thirty day period! Now I am unquestionably dying to know if I am or if I’m not! Have checked the pendulum and it is nevertheless declaring the exact point and for facts, it is a boy!
Did a standard exam today, because I am impatient and am not totally absolutely sure how very long my cycle is or when I essentially O’d… it’s negative… sensation a very little deflated but AF even now is not here so that’s a good issue.
We go see a Dr listed here simply because my Aunt filled me in on all the genetic problems in our household and suggests we get exams taken to see what our hazards are. The Dr recommend Genetic counselling and a pre-conception blood test to examine my Rubella immunisation concentrations. I question if she can include a being pregnant take a look at to that… she implies ready until Friday (a complete 3 days) to do the blood check or it may possibly show destructive or borderline and will have to do it yet again. Does not anyone like giving me superior news?? Will wait… but it is killing me to hold out that long!
BB’s a minor a lot more tender but not as tender as I considered they ought to be…
Thursday, 28th January, 2004 – 18DPO
The clock is ticking so little by little and it has taken all my will electrical power to maintain off for 2 days just before performing another test… yet again, detrimental! No AF, so when is it heading to say I am?!? Discouraged at the lack of positive benefits. BB’s even now tender… Pendulum continue to expressing I am and nonetheless declaring it is a boy. I guess I’m not sensation specially pregnant, had the odd minute of sensation icky but I get that when I eat stuff I know I shouldn’t. Had a negative headache previously and only experienced Panadol, just incase I am… how bad is that?!? Are we obsessive nonetheless?
Saturday, 30th January, 2004 – 20DPO
It’s my birthday today and I experienced a ton of points to do. On my way to a child shower, recognized that my tummy was a small crampy but it was so moderate that I genuinely had to focus to function out if it was. Commonly get crampy with AF but this was a ton milder that I commonly get… does this signify I am? or there are complications? or is AF just enjoying with me? Arrgghh, have experienced adequate of this… did I mention I did a further examination? Accomplished one particular just about every 2 times for 6 times with the similar result (unfavorable) and increasing quantities of frustration. It is my birthday, why cannot I know nowadays??
We go out for lunch and some buying, after a couple several hours of that I have had enough. Ready for a nap… not like me to have had sufficient of browsing. Need to have worn myself out this 7 days. Get property and rest for about 3 several hours!
I am meant to go out for 2 dwelling warming’s but tummy is far more crampy than this morning but continue to not as poor as when AF is just about to start… I get concerned every single time I go to the loo that AF will be there, but no. Just sore BB’s and cramps. I do don’t forget having this variety of cramp when I was expecting with my daughter… but am hoping not to get my hopes up… we remain in for the night.
Sunday, 31st January, 2004 – 21DPO
Am holding off to examination all over again tomorrow even though I purchase a further pack of 2 assessments. I figure if it is not in this article by then that I’ll do the blood check and it will confirm it possibly way. I do some browsing for a BBQ with my Mum, we are getting it at our location later on in the afternoon. I recognize when shopping that I’m definitely chilly, Mum claims that it is freezing in there… but 2 isles later on I’m warm and she’s not… hmmm.
We get household, I unpack the groceries and set my tests in my room and then immediately place myself to bed… experienced an frustrating urge to snooze. Hubby woke me up because the BBQ had commenced (2 hours of zzz’s, not lousy!) I imagined “well, the box has 2 exams and I’m going to get a blood check accomplished tomorrow in any case so might as properly do one now.” I experienced only completed a examination yesterday morning so I was also thinking about how silly I was to consider that it would be favourable currently, but continue to desired to do it anyway… so off I go.
2 pink traces!!! Constructive!!! I’m formally up the duff!!! So thrilled, I choose the test out to hubby who is cooking meat on the BBQ, he appears to be at it baffled and asks “so what does that mean?” I say that it’s a beneficial exam, he asks if I require to go and do a different check to be sure… he’s not displaying exhilaration yet so now I’m puzzled. I inform him that I really don’t will need a further take a look at that this is it. It can take a 2nd but after I reiterate that you just can’t get a false beneficial, he commences to smile… alot! So by the conclusion of the working day, the rapid loved ones and pretty shut good friends know and we could not be happier.
Waiting around until soon after the 12 months to get entirely energized, then the hazard period will be about and all the assessments for Down Syndrome will be entire (we have it in our spouse and children).
