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

oh bebe

Im pretty sure you need a luteal phase of at least 10 days to allow an egg to implant...

Though im sure lots of mumsnet people on various threads have been to see their GP about their short luteal phase and GP has told them it doesnt matter

but TCOYF book seems to disagree...

I have a 28 day cycle and ovulate on day 15

Evening all

100 years your wait is very exciting

Not a great weekend here, ok not been that bad except i had to work at school today... on a SATURDAY for open day.
On the + side my new oven has arrived and BIL (electrician) has installed it, so can cook Xmas cake tomorrow

Did an OPK at 2pm and it was -ve (was shocked as its always +ve on a Saturday and sometimes on a Friday too)... anyway did another at 8pm and that was +ve soo am relieved about that!
OH started his daddy to be vitamins last night so thats very exciting.

72 hours until we throw away the condoms

Oh and (i must add this)... my head of kindergarten was talking to some prospectove parents today... explaining how i was maternity cover for anotehr teacher and anotehr teacher was also on ML, and due back in September... anyway, she (accidently) went on the say that "In September I would be in maternity leave but i had to ... she hadnt meant to say it, and corrected herself to "well we dont know that but you never know, she might be!!!"
(I have not told anyone other than my mum and closest friends about our baby plans (oh and mumsnet!)

Also everyone who works in my class in kindergarten gets PG, and last night (on our mummies and teachers social meal) me and OH had to keep our mouths shut when one of the mums warned my OH "to be careful as everyone who teaches in my class leaves pregnant!"

Yay (in a sarcastic voice) more symptoms spotting!!! Weird aches like really really mild period pains, headache and icky feeling. I am officially driving myself crazy.

I've just briefly spoken about one of the things that's been bothering me recently, the reaction I got was different to how I thought - in a good way and I'm now slightly more confused. But hey ho, it's not a small decision and it's one that needs proper and full attention, and if so it may mean a change in where we are at at the moment.

Right going away for the night now :) Catch up tomorrow or monday.

Hugs to all.

morning all

bebe- i didnt have a costume that fit either i normally where a bikini but ive put on 2 much weight to fit in it, had to borrow one of a friend that was too big so i looked a bit stupid but never mind lol, decided to let the xwords go with DP last nite and ordered a yummy chinese anyway

took DD the park this morning to feed the ducks and afta swimming yesterday she decided she wanted to swim in the pond and when we wudnt let her had a nice tantrum going to take her swimming nxt weds and make it a weekly occurence if i can or atleast up untill im too big to move lol

hope everyone has a nice wkend

evening all,

took DD swimming for first time today she really enjoyed it wish i had plucked up the courage to take her sooner.

i think im in for an unpleasant nite DP seems to have come in from work with a right shit on and weve already had xwords there goes my idea of a good film and a chinese takeaway

AC- glad your interview went well, fingers crossed for u :)

100years- hope u manage to sort things out, hopefully a few days away will give u time to clear your head, i find it always helps to step away from your everyday life

wyorklass- i think it is impossible not to sympton spot when u know there is even the slightest chance, but u never know the symptons cud be real :)

bebe- how did the injection go i hope it wasnt too painful, did your DD come back all tired out?

Lol at the work two week wait!

I don't think there is enough paper to cover my mind issues at the moment!!! LOL. I have done that in the past, and yes it really does help to get those things out. Just got to focus on getting through work tonight and then I have a few days off where I can chill (even if we are away and busy) and sort some thoughts out.

100, i can imagine how you are feeling. I'm symptom spotting now and there's pretty much no chance i am pg at the moment. Although i nearly convinced myself when i felt queasy earlier! Oh yes and i'm sure i'm weeing more than usual and i haven't had usual PMT moodiness or as tender boobs as usual and my tummy has been crampy all week and...

My fingers are crossed for you too.

If something is on your mind you could try writing it down? I find that helps me get things straight in my head.

Good luck AC with your work 2WW.

Well I'm going crazy, the symptom spotting has started, I'm going to be unbearable for the next 10 days!!!! LOL But I have stopped taking my temp. For a few reasons, but I think mainly it was making me a bit neurotic over things, and it's not going to help me get pregnant really, I mean knowing my temp doesn't help the swimmers reaching the egg, it just gives an idea of when ov has occurred, and I sleep so irregularly with shifts I think it's not all that accurate.

Feeling a bit up in the air about a few things, stuff is getting on top of me a bit and I'm not sure how to stop it, feel like I need to talk to someone, but I'm pretty sure it will all come out in a real muddle.

bebe, if you can buy babies in Tesco I think I may head there in a few months if the SWI doesn't work!!! LOL, that's great. Sorry you are worrying about your hip jab, can't imagine it will be very nice.

Oooh, good luck with the job AC, interview sounds promising. Fingers are crossed.

Yorkshire rocks :)

at everyone throwing the condoms away.

Just had my telephone interview though, which seemed to go quite well (come on lucky train!) so you never know. If I do get this job I'll have to put ttc on the backburner for a while as there'll be so much to do and think about at work. But I really want it! Two weeks till I find out. Keep your fingers crossed for me, everyone!

We three are all Yorkshire lasses then!

Hehe at your DD bebe, kids are hilarious. DSD is 8 and still comes out with some funny stuff. She is also convinced she knows everything, even when we tell her she is wrong about something. An 8 year old knows better than 2 adults apparently! Hopefully she will grow out of it soon but according to OH her mum hasn't managed that yet

jbells - any child makes me broody if they are behaving themselves, i do get a bit put off by badly behaved kids though. Although i do have a giggle at toddlers throwing tantrums, am sure i won't when it's mine though.

nanny yep, i am from and live in West Yorkshire, how did you guess?

hello all cant believe were on a new thread already!

weighed myself today and at 13 wks pg i have already put on around 4lb have got another scan on tuesday so hoping i will get a lot clearer pic then i did last time, learnt how to make a curry from scratch today my grandad taught me he makes the most gorg curry, im excited to try myself next wk, cant believe how many ingrediants u need tho

so tonite despite me getting fatter and fatter by the day i am going to enjoy curry and rice with naan bread and popdoms :)

nannyl- how exciting that your ready to chuck the condoms away, grrr to your OH not being in when dinner is ready i gave up on making dinner for when DP got in as he'd normally say im not hungry yet ill have it later

wyork- also congrats on ditching contraception there cud be a few more pgcies popping up on this thread soon :)

JS- did the massage take your mind of the baby lol, believe it or not when i see young babies it makes me less broody when i see toddlers running round and playing nicely it makes me broody seeing newborn babies puts me off lol

100years- the 2 wks will go quick im sure the wks seem to fly in the run up to xmas, fingers crossed u will be next on the thread to concieve :)

bebe- cant believe that lil girl pulling your DD's hair out i hope her mother told them off i know she was prob young but they need to learn that behaviour is not on your poor DD

squirral- as for being so hungry that is y i have put on 4lb already lol

waves to AC, whywait and quod

hope i didnt miss anyone out

Hello all

Tomorrow night we are out with all the mummies and daddies in our class so im looking forward to that, and i now have a date in my doary for the pre-prep Xmas dinner too thats also exciting.

Waiting for oh right now... our dinner is cooked and reaqdy to dish up but he's not here yet! grrr lol

I'm not sure but I think we are visiting a friend this weekend with a LO. I'm super broody anyway, this will obviously make me a little worse I fear! Will be good to see them though.

Hi All!

The bar car is fab thanks! Just had to put down my 4th mojito though as my colleague who is on maternity leave just came in with her 8 week old LO/ She is super super cute and I had a lovely cuddle. Feeling very very clucky now :(

Better get Jake to give me a nice massage to take my mind off the baby!!!

Afternoon all.

How are we.

Lovely new thread, I'll be staying here whether I get a BFP or AF just because I like it here with you gals :)

Twiddling fingers, hormones going crazy, just wishing I didn't have to wait for 2 weeks to know a yay or nay. I'm sure the 2WW is not healthy!

Yay for WYorks :) It's great ditching them even though you know it's too close to AF.

Only 2 more horrible night shifts then the weekend off :)
