We're taking the train...some now boarding, some delays, some still standing on the platform! TTC 'Waiters' IIT!

just checked there are to epu's close to me :) just need to wait for dr to refer me now

hmmm year actually i like jackson spelt like that, at the mo lucas and marcus are my fave, im trying not to think of girls names as i want a boy this time round, but i like summer rose for a girl

oh im not sure to be honest

wot do u think of the names jaxson, lucas, jaden? marcus unsure of that one

bebe supper sounds lovely. Am just off to have my hair set and change into my flapper dress

I think you are fine on calling your DS Logan. Think of all the Henry, Harry, sam and Ben's out there!!

My fave names vary from day to day. I have a a list of 20 for each and I am sure that list will grow over the next 18 months!! ( that is quite a long time to wait isn't it. I never though of it in that way!!!) God knows how we are going to chose, our eventual DD or DS will have to have a few middle names!!!

whywait sending positive vibes on your 2WW..... it seems that the train has magical powers so it wouldn't be unheard of for you to get your BFP!!

Totally over the argument with DH - we are both very good at forgiving and forgetting on that front and both know that we were being tired, emotional and completely irrational. (I am lucky to have a DH that admits to things like that!!!)

So bored at work today. BFH (boss form hell)is refusing to do the work I am chasing him on and is already 2 days over his deadline.... not going to hassle him any more as if he doesn't do it it's on his head and not mine!

hey ladies

BEBE- dinner sounds lovely wish i cud really have dinner at yours lol, also i dont know wot EPAU is i think u shud still be able to have logan, i think i like jaxson for a boy

WHYWAIT- i had back lower back pains for a while 2 weeks b4 my period was due thinking back must have been implantation pains, but didnt realise it at time, then boobs seemed to swell a bit, felt xtrememly emotional and really angry a lot of the time and i know i was like that last time i was pregnant, also felt like i had water infection and needed to pee lots, and a bit dizzy and nauseus, and just a general feeling that i was kn ow that sounds odd

JS- i do not have a good track record with the nhs they always seem to mess up with me

jbells sorry that your refferal hasn;t arrived, bloody NHS!!!

Morning ladies!

Back in the office and still feeling bloody grim - why oh why can't I get rid of this bloody cold?!?!?

AC do not feel bad about "restraining" your DH from opening the condom drawer, I am sure that if he was really against UPS then he could have stopped. As for the non contraceptive contraception..... I'm not really sure what to suggest!!

bebe I think you have earnt the position of the luxury train chef thanks to your baking and cooking skills..... looking forward to our 4 course extravaganza tonight, what's on the menu?!?

Quod Sorry to hear that your cycles are a bit funny. I thought I was lucky with mine after stopping as they settled into 30 days cycles. I was then completely thrown when I had a 35 day one that came from nowhere (cue me being very excited about being possibly PG and then a little bit gutted when AF arrived )

bebe sorry to hear that your DH decided against the anti depressants. Men can be really funny about them. When I met my DH I was taking them after years of having problems with eating disorders. He hated that I was on them and I eventually weaned myself off. I think they don't like the idea that they will change your emotions but if it is for the better and makes everybody more happy I don't really see the problem. If you have the flu, you take pills for that so why not do the same for depression??
Maybe you should talk to him about gettting the perscription filled?!?

Had a rubbish evening. Was feeling awful and DH had booked theatre tickets to a play I was really not that bother about seeing. At the end he asked if I had enjoyed it and I was honest and told him it wasn't really my thing (what I was dying to say was that it was terminally depressing and over acted!!) We somehow got into an argument about me being miserable and not positive about the job I had interviewed for and it escaleted until we were shouting at eachother for no aparent reason - we NEVER argue! Think I was just tired, feeling ill and a bit down about the prospect of having to stay in my crap job. I really think that they are going to choose the temp for the role and so am not getting my hopes up. I don't know how much longer I can stay working for the complete arse I work for before I crack and tell him what I really think!!!! We made up as soon as we realised how stupid the argument was and all is well but I think it is all just getting on top of me at the moment. I need a break :)

morning all, still no referral form, and yes AC i would prob do a tet everyday for the nxt few weeks if i cud but im trying to restrain myself lol

Lol Bebe he was already doing the deed when I restrained him and it's not like I'm stronger than him, quite the opposite.

I totally think it was the right decision Quadlibet. I wonder where your AF has got to...

Jbells are you just thinking constantly about the fact that you have a little secret in your belly? Do you want to keep doing more tests?

hey everyone i wont be going anywhere i really like this small tightnit little community weve formed and now im comfy on a luxury train with loadsa lovely goodies made by the lovely bebe as she is always cooking and baking away, but still manages to lose weight, dont know how u do it bebe if i was that good a cook i would be constantly eating lol, i like that we talk about other things on here other than babys appointments and the competition to how sick your feeling lol

AC i hope your feeling better now, and things with your DP have improved

bebe i am having a tough time with DP at the moment to with DP's work hes just got new job and its putting a lot of strain on things which just isnt good at this time, i supose its much harder when your self employed because u can never just switch yourself off from work, hopefully things will improve soon

quodlibet have u done pregnancy test i was only off pill for one week last time i got pregnant with DD and this time just missed a few and when in previous years i have come off pill it hasnt really affected my period, fingers crossed 4 u, r u feeling any diff?

strawberry glad u had such a lovely bday, im sure we can find u lots of excuses to drink the champagne and im sure a small glass wudnt do u any harm when u get pregnant to celebrate ;)

JS glad your interview went well :) i think we all have that fear that they will pick someone they know, but hopefully they will do the right thing and just pick the person that will be the best for the job, will keep my fingers crossed for you

whywait glad u had such a nice wkend and hopefully the time around all those cute lil ones will rub off :o

i promise i wont bore u all with all my symptons and raging hormones lol

JBells can I add another congratulations! What exciting news. Promise us you'll stay aboard the train and keep us updated.

AC sorry about your MAP bollocks. I think you made the right (hard) decision to take it - however hard it was to take it, I'm sure you want your conception to be a happy occasion, not one marred by dishonesty with DH. I can totally understand where you're coming from with the contraception aversion though - such a hard place to be in when your body's going BREED! BREED! and you're also trying to make some room for the rather half-hearted 'rational' voice that 'agrees' to do the contraception. I've got no idea what the solution is either I'm afraid. A nunnery?

JS crossing many things for your interview.

Bebe I am amazed at your restraint - I would find it impossible to cook a pizza and then not eat it.

And WhyWait I am well jealous of your weekend away! I have been thinking about doing the same thing for my DP, he really needs a holiday.

Drumming my fingers over here still waiting for AF - currently on 33 days which is a long time for me (first cycle off the pill - although last time I came off I don't recall it buggering things up). It's so blimmin distracting!

Whywait thanks for the advice about the injection. I thought about the diaphragm but it wouldn't be much different from condoms IYSWIM? Basically I don't want to use any form of contraception that prevents pg lol.

JBells congratulations! Hope you're going to stick with us now you're up the duff. Hopefully someone will be joining you before long - it just won't be me. See what a lucky thread this is - you don't even have to try and you can get pg!

Just wanted to defend DH a bit. I totally forced the issue on the NPP (I physically restrained him from opening the drawer) which was a bit crazy. I did think it was probably a safe day but I wasn't completely sure. DH is happy to use any contraception - in fact thank goodness there's not a male pill, or I'd never have children! The problem with contraception is that I seem to be in a bit of a mentally fragile state and can't cope with taking pills to stop babies or putting on condoms to stop babies. It makes me so miserable. My ideal would be to use FAM with Persona for back up, with abstinence on red days. But (probably quite rightly!) DH doesn't trust me to do that.

JS glad the interview went ok. The temp might not have an advantage, she might be not that good. Will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Bebe things sound very bleak indeed. Your poor DH must be at his wits end. It's a very stressful time for everyone but being self-employed must be particularly difficult.

Strawberry pie it's lovely that your DP is so on board. I'd get on with it if I were you! The champagne will put you in the mood!

congratulations jbells! How amazing that you knew all along that you were pregnant!

bebe is your DH receiving treatment for the depression? If not have you thought about mentioning it or would that be difficult? (men don't like talking about stuff like that do they?) It's a shame that when we are feeling down we take it out on those closest to us-I hope things improve soon-you sound much more positive after the virtual choc fudge cake though! :)

Fingers and toes still crossed for you JS!

whywait - I got some lovely presents thank you including LOTS of champagne......DP talked about saving some for celebrating a pregnancy/birth but then realised I would't be able to drink it then anyway! Oh well, I'm sure I'll think of another good excuse... :)

thanks everyone, just bin reading thru thread will reply properly lata when DD is in bed and i can get 5 mins to myself
