thanks nicola!!!! I hope you get your

soon too.

I'm hoping DH will get some answers soon as to what can be done and when!

Well i've been catching up with friends today, pregnant ones and ones with newborns, its been tough but lovely at the same time. Naturally they can't help but talk about that and nothing else, but i'm slowly coming to the idea that it WILL be my turn SOON!!!
Been feeling all out of sorts last few days. Very nausious, and dizzy. Not like me at all, i'm trying not to get my hopes up and think that they're PG signs, i've done this before only to get a

I'll just have to wait a bit longer and see.

DH is still feeling a bit shabby, and i'm just tired and ratty!!! So looking forward to my day off tomorrow!!!

Pretty much decided that if

shows up this month then we're going to buy a FM next month and try with that. I've decided for now i think i prefer this to the idea of Temping & OPK's. So if nothing this month, i shall hope for a better month next!!!

Thanks Lu, hope your weekend is a good one too.
I've been really ratty today!!!! bit of a

really!!!! Got really bad back ache, in my lower back

style of ache. Don't know why.

I think i'm due my

on around the 10th, don't know when to test really?

Lu28 · May 4th, 2008, 18:08 PM

I reckon hang on to test around the 5th although I never manage to wait!

I've got lower backpain today too! Although more like nerve twinging than af and it's way too early for me to mean anything as af isn't due for me til 15th. You've got to love symptom spotting though!

butterflies · May 5th, 2008, 12:26 PM

i think i'm going to wait, despite the nausia etc etc, could all be down to anticipation.....

butterflies · May 7th, 2008, 11:10 AM

Ok so tested a

yesterday on a FR, not shocked, dissappointed yes, but then again its still early and i don't know what i was expecting to see. Hey ho, i'm now going to wait and see if Af shows up on 10th or around then, and maybe consider testing again.

I still feel nausious, and am finding it really hard to eat and keep food down, without a struggle.
Still very weepy and feeling rubbish, but that could be because DH is really not good at the mo, he sees the specialist this afternoon, so i've got everything crossed for a quick answer to the problem!!!!

butterflies · May 7th, 2008, 21:24 PM

So DH has seen the specialist, has been told he will need surgery. He's been put on both the Open & keyhole lists, although keyhole would be better, and the recovery time is much quicker, i think its most likely he will have to have open surgery on it.
I'm both relieved and upset.....relieved we have a definate answer to the problem, upset that DH will have to go through this all again, last time he had to have almost 3 months off work, and he was in a different job back then, and had cover to get the op quickly and also full pay throughout recovery.
This time though its NHS and he is only entitled to another 3 weeks full paid sickness, having aready had one i doubt he will manage to hold on to that. Once the other 3 weeks are up, its down to 1/2 pay.....this is going to be a nightmare for us, both financially and with TTC.

Hey Butterflies, thanks for your post in my journal. It really helped me perk up this morning knowing that I was not going through this alone.

I'm so sorry to hear about your DH. Hopy you know that you're in my prayers and thoughts. I hope all goes well with the surgery and he has a speedy recovery. Financially things may be a bit tight but with God's help and our support here I know you'll get through it.
