Hey guys!! Have taken the big step of coming of the Pill to TTC another DC. This will be DC number 2 - already have DS who is 15 months old and a DSD who is 7 years. We have spoken about another baby for a while now but it has now become more of a reality now that we have decided to stop using any contraception!! I am so so excited but know all too well about this horrible waiting game of patience which seems to get worse even after a BFP as then it's the painful wait for a 12 week scan!! (although this time I may pay for a private scan) I have had a MC before DS was born so am also aware of not getting to ahead of myself...but I'm so excited nonetheless!! I bought my friend a little present for her brand new (with tags on) baby girl and was so so broody. Cant wait for my turn now!!

Sorry for the long warbling post. This is such a hard time, the pre TTC, the waiting for BFP or BFN etc etc...I am the most impatient person in the world as it is...and to not to be able to tell anyone in RL makes it even harder!!

Hope there will be some ladies in the same boat as me!! Look forward to meeting u and sharing journeys!!

Lots of love, Pip xx

Grin congrats again Cauldron!

Now you need to take him out to the shops and choose a nice sparkly ring! The tin foil one is very sweet but may turn your finger green after a few days wear Wink

wannabemum24 · 28/10/2011 09:58

YAY CAULDRON! Let's all have some bevvies tonight to celebrate?!! x

CauldronOfBrownJoy · 28/10/2011 09:51

Pmsl @ dc 232 btw.... Grin

CauldronOfBrownJoy · 28/10/2011 09:50

Awww ok I've cheered right up - he rolled over in bed and put the tin foil ring back on my finger.....

I'm engaged!!! Grin Grin

Right so, what happens next? Smile

Tequilamockinbat · 28/10/2011 09:39

What happened there? I'm not TTC DC 232 Shock just DC 2!

Tequilamockinbat · 28/10/2011 09:38

Thanks cauldron, I'll pm you when I get onto the laptop (on phone at the min)

I like the idea of putting the DC number, I am TTC %232 Smile

Hope you're feeling better soon, and I think you should definitely remind DH - maybe little hints all day Wink

CauldronOfBrownJoy · 28/10/2011 09:36

Oh I've just had an idea - can we add which number dc we're ttc onto our list?

CauldronOfBrownJoy · 28/10/2011 09:34

Just pm us your Facebook details tequila and we'll find you!!

I feel like total crap this morning and DP is still comatose. I'm not going to mention the "proposal" and I bet he doesn't remember... There's a tin foil ring on the bedside table which might jog his memory though!

Wannabe sorry to hear your dh not been in contact - give it to him all guns blazing when he calls!!! Angry

Tequilamockinbat · 28/10/2011 08:53

Fishpants, thanks for the new list. Yes I'm almost at the end, no symptoms or anything though Sad

Cauldron, congratulations! DH was very drunk when he proposed to me too, he didnt get down on 1 knee or anything Sad

Where do I find the Facebook group? Is it invite only or can anyone join?

Vinolover · 28/10/2011 08:52

Huge congratulations Cauldron! Im sure he meant it :)... Please don't worry about the wine and fags. I certainly indulged in some yummy wine last night! Tomorrow DH wants to go for a couple of drinks when I finish work and have an indian take away afterwards. Seriously not healthy but you have to live!
Ive had two children (and two MC) and I still have no effing clue! I remember with DS my boobs hurt and I had awful lower back pain, but this was at the time AF was due... TBH I think it's my body getting back to normal.

fish, poor you not having hotel chocolat :( That is my favourite place! May have to treat myself Wink

wannabe I hope you hear from your DH soon! Enjoy your wine tonight!!

wannabemum24 · 28/10/2011 08:44

Well Cauldron...CONGRATULATIONS!! What did he say in the morning? Did he remember?!

Fish, saw you on the AIBU thread, thanks. Still no word so I am just guessing he is very drunk having phone problems!

TGIF...off to work and really CBA. AF is in full swing and I feel like shit a bit rubbish. My boss isn't in so I will probably log on during the day.

Urgh...can't wait for some wine tonight...mmm

Clandy · 28/10/2011 07:55

Aww congratulations cauldron! That is how my mum and dad got engaged and 25 years and 4 kids later they r still going strong Smile

CauldronOfBrownJoy · 28/10/2011 04:33

Names will definitely be a tough one as I'm from Wales originally and love all the welsh names. It's kind of mean to call a german boy Iolo or Ieuan though as there's no way anyone will be able to pronounce it!

I'm big time regretting last night - can't sleep as drank too much wine and as for the cigarettes, well I feel revolting Sad

In other news, I got proposed to last night! DP tottered in completely drunk with a ring made from foil, fell onto the bed, proposed and then had to go to the bathroom to throw up Sad. I have to say, it was about as romantic as it sounds and I've no idea if it actually counts or not! I think i'll wait and see if he remembers in the morning.....

Fishpants · 27/10/2011 23:51

Oh, wanna I hadn't realized you still had yet to hear from DH. I'm sure he's okay, probably just knackered from all your SWI you bowled him over with recently [hgrin]

Brill news on your bleed - now you can start obsessing counting properly.

I'm also playing the name game in my head - and feel lucky in this respect that I have no partner to quibble with and potentially have to compromise on a name I less than love! [hgrin]

wannabemum24 · 27/10/2011 23:26

Me too Secret :) It's nice to talk openly!

He he...I just want to hear from DH to know he is ok Fish :( That and I am really tired but don't want to go to bed yet as am watching 'The Joy of Teenage Sex' on 4 +1...It's really interesting Blush

wannabemum24 · 27/10/2011 23:17

Thanks Secret :) It is fun (and exhausting)!! Don't worry about FB! Just PM us if you want :) We do have a rule of no mentioning TTC or how we 'met'...it's mainly to just see photos etc...

Ha ha Cauldron! I wish I had had a glass of wine...is it too late Hmm

Thanks Clandy, only 8 days to go :)

Feeling a bit low tonight ladies :(

CauldronOfBrownJoy · 27/10/2011 22:49

theoretically yes, wannabe, but it depends how long your cycle is I think...

Given up big time tonight - got pissed and smoked 3 fags. Ooops Blush

Also DP and I are thinking names already Blush and can't find anything that sounds nice in German and in English...

Clandy · 27/10/2011 22:40
