Good things come to those who wait...and wait...and wait!!! All aboard, we're IIT!

Good luck to you AC for next month if it is.

I may be having my leave cancelled for Christmas eve, which will mean I am working till 3am on Christmas day. Hey ho. I better get some niceness to me as a return.

Sorry 100years xposted. Sympathise re work. Can't wait for the Christmas break!

Hey Bebe I'm glad you made it safe and sound. I'd hate to be stuck away from DH.

Yes I think DH is now on board. It just remains to be seen whether ttc next month is a realistic prospect.

Hi all,

busy busy bee at the moment, work is mad and the extra time to get into work is making me ultra tired, so was in bed early last night, got a later start tomorrow so :) a semi lie in.

Big huge congrats to WYorks :) Woohoo, gonna book me a holibob as you are the second person I know to have conceived on honeymoon 1st month of trying :)

Sorry WW you got a BFN :(

AC great news about DH being on board :)

Age: 33

Relationship: Engaged to and living with a very lovely gorgeous man.

TTC: Right now, well not this second but am on official month 2 of TTC

Reason for waiting: we aren't

Recent news/updates: Had a cold/chest infection thing, all better now. Have an ulcer on my tongue. Am knackered. Am trying not to symptom spot this month.

Am still weighing up the possibility of changing jobs, but as to what yet I don't know. And where it will leave us on the TTC front - who knows.

I am home!! :o

Took 4 hours (usually takes 2) so not really too bad, all things considered! Has snowed since I got home though.

WW - so sorry you didn't get a BFP :( Fab news on the PGCE interview though, fingers crossed you get in to your first choice! So sorry you are feeling low though, it's so hard when everything gets on top of you & you can let it out to anyone. Feel free to rant at us if you need to.

AC - So exciting that your DH is 'onboard'...shall we make him up a cabin at the back of the train?

had my first pre-natal yoga class tonite cant say we did very much except a lot of breathing lol, was gud to meet other pg woman tho

bebe how did it go with driving home? Hope it wasn't too difficult :) I just looked at your pictures, the snow ones look pretty and as usual your DD is very cute!

wyorks my DH also thinks he has super sperm! I'm not sure whether to try and have the flu jab or not - I had the swine flu jab earlier in the year so it's just the other seasonal variants that I need to worry about. I haven't been offered it by anyone so far since getting pg.

AC I missed the fact that your DH is now on board, that's great news! Fingers crossed for good interview news...

whywait sorry to hear about your pgce/ttc dilemma and this month's bfn :( The job vs kids choice is a tough one, and I don't think that even my DH really quite understands.

Age 29
Relationship married summer 2010
TTC not any more, 10.5 weeks pg
Reason for waiting had to wait till after honeymoon and anti-malarials
Recent news/updates had scan at 10 weeks, everything looks good, now eagerly awaiting the second trimester :)

Whywait I'm so sorry you didn't get a BFP this month and that you've been feeling down with no one to talk to. What is it that's on your mind in particular? If it's waiting and stressing out about ttc, well we've all been there. I bet there will be some spectacular hysterics from me whichever way this interview goes.

Brilliant news about the PGCE interview, even if it does mean a possible ttc delay. I know it's easy to say that! God don't men have it easy!

oh whywait i hope your ok, sorry your feeling low, i hope that u get your place and things start looking up for u. there have been lots of tears in this house to for diff reasons, also my friends in RL dont have kids so cant really speak to them and DP doesnt understand, i dont really have any adult interaction in the day at all thru the wk and have been feeling desperatly lonely all my friends work full time and dont really have any mummy friends. i completely know how u feel and how frustrating it can be when the people in your life cannot relate to the way your feeling.

i hope u have a lovely xmas and we hear from u agen soon

really sorry to read that whywait

sending you a virtual hug

good luck with your interview and getting onto the course you want and wishing you a very Merry Xmas and a happy new year.

AC i do feel more relaxed now. I think it's partly now it's offical and partly the fact that AF due date (mon) has been and gone. I was half expecting AF to turn up or at least some spotting. Thankfully it hasn't, yet!
I have my fingers crossed for you for your interview.

It's freezing here at work. The heating is broken so we are sitting in our coats :(

WYorks pleased to here your Drs appt went well... and you are now flu jabbed up

AC sorry you arnt feeling very positive... dont forget you have made it t the 4th interview so they must really really like you. Fingers crossed.
have they said when they will tell you by?

WYorks that's exciting. It's nice that you were given a positive and enthusiastic reception, you do hear worrying stories from people who feel they have been treated as just another conveyor belt case. Does it all seem much more real to you now it's been made official?!

Just had my final interview and really don't feel very positive. There were a couple of times I couldn't think of an answer. It could certainly have gone better.

Relationship: Married 3 weeks ago :) (Nov '10)

Reason for waiting: Not anymore, we were waiting until after the wedding.

Recent news/updates:
I went to the doctors this morning and she was absolutely lovely and seemed genuinely excited for me.
My estimated due date is 31st August. I joked that i hoped it (i hate "it" but can't think of a better word at the minute!) would be a day or so late for school purposes!
I asked about the flu jab and she gave me one on the spot, the sooner the better apparently! I have a sore arm now.
Finally, i have been referred to the practise midwife who will contact me in a couple of weeks.

Age: 33

Good luck for tomorrow bebe!!

Oh also, put pics on profile of snow here, it's so pretty! :)

Evening all!

I'm going to attempt to drive home 2moro! [scared emoticon] Will try & stick to motorways instead of driving my usual route (across the Cotswolds). I'm going from Bedfordshire to Gloucestershire so pretty much right across where the snow has been!

On my Xmas list for Santa I am just going to ask for a baby in 2011! :( Feeling quite desperate these days, almost like there is a very loud clock ticking...it's not my age, it's a relapse clock!

Just to fill in like JS

Age: 28

Relationship: Married in 2007

TTC: Anytime after 24th December, but hopefully Jan 2011

Reason for waiting: DH is reluctant due to work pressure & my health issues (MS)

Recent news/updates: I'm nearly at my 3 month medication free point! Woohoo! DH is still dragging his heels! :(

Must be so difficult all those SWIing with horrid bugs! Would be the absolute last thing on my mind if I wasn't TTC!

AC - I'll join you for NY drinks! I won't be TTC til at leat the 11th Jan (by my calculations) and that's if I can work my womanly charms on DH (unlikely) :(

Anyway, wish me luck for 2moro, hopefully I'll be online 2moro evening if I make it home!!

lol AC- im going to put it on my xmas list to santa, im sure i have been good enuf this year for him to meet my demands :)

Ooh nannyl I don't envy you that on your mind all over Christmas! It would be lovely to get a bfp for New Year though. JS old girl you and I shall have to content ourselves with New Year drinks! JBells I would like a boy as well, if we're putting orders in!

Congratulations WYorks!! Fantastic news. Am keeping fingers crossed it all goes smoothly for you.

bebe Where are you going from and to? It really depends where you are in the country. One of our friends made it from us in Bedfordshire up to Liverpool via Yorkshire in 4 hours on Saturday and had no problems; DH went to next town (about 8 miles away) today and it took him nearly 2hrs! It might be fine (but obviously don't put yourself at risk!).

JS My DH was the same... has taken about 6 months for him to take the idea seriously even though he has wanted kids for a while. I think it takes a while to sink in for some people - just hang in there!

I'm feeling rubbish today.... needed to SWI yesterday really but was feeling ill! Hopefully today isn't too late although as it's first month of TTC I'm trying not to expect it to happen anyway (yeah... like that's working!!). I hurt all over at the moment and am having horrible sinus headaches... hope am not coming down with something! Poor DH is making dinner yet again for me, bless him. I will be annoyed if I'm ill all holiday!!

nannyl- yep the ebay ones will be fine :) i really hope it was a boy sperm that fertilised my egg, everybody will have to keep there fingers crossed that its a boy for me :)

thanks JS
oh jinglebells so my ebay ones might work then ?

Well its only day 14, just done an OPK and it +ve! I always get my +ve of day 15 but its here now!
Hope that mean if i get a BFP i can see it a day earlier? we will see

am very excited to have a BFP, hope OHs (girl ) sperm are still swimming in there! LOL
