New thread..... let's get going!!

DessieLou · 28/12/2011 13:11

Just wrote a really long post mentioning most people individually then lost it before posting....really bloody annoying!
So basically, hello everyone, hope you're all ok, keep your chins up, welcome lime jelly, good luck and happy new year.....that pretty much covers it!

Limejelly · 28/12/2011 10:07

Hello everyone, can I join you?
This is me and DP's first month of ttc so I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much, but it's difficult. I just know that I will feel disappointed if I don't get a bfp.
I am now into day 6 of my 2ww and it seems like an eternity! All very exciting :D

PuggyMum · 28/12/2011 00:39

Rasp I haven't mentioned my SIL yet.... Am sure I'll have plenty of time to whinge / bitch about her on here!!! But as I am one of the nice ones I will only do this as appropriate to any discussions! Ha!

Is insomnia a symptom of hoping to be pg? i've never had trouble sleeping before! I can't even declare I have whirring thoughts etc!!

Tess85 · 28/12/2011 00:34

Hey dessie very jealous of your weekend away! Sounds lush - been wanting to see we will rock you since forever but never get round to organising anything :( New Years resolution I think !

Puggy you are unfortunate to have worked with such horrible women in the past, there are some truly vile people around. I believe what your husband says though, my Dad was in the police and he used to see a few eye opening things and that wasn't even with the people he was helping or arresting :)

Welcome Winkly I must admit I had to second glance at your name when I saw it - I thought it said Winky What has happened in the last few days that has made you question becoming a mum? Christmas is a nightmare of a time, very stressful whatever the situation so keep your spirits up, I'm sure it will all be ok.

heyMicky sorry to hear you've had a hard week, it can be horrible seeing people who are pregnant, it's not that I begrudge them their babies but I always think 'why not me?'. It will happen one day - promise! xx

Hello Weimy glad the pack are doing well lol and that you've had a nice chilled crimbo

Can't believe we are rapidly heading towards New Year already! Will be 2012 before we know it and 2012 will be OUR year girls!!!

Hi all,

I am popping in after a long break just wanted to let you know that I have been thinking about everyone ttc.

I am not pg but the pack and OH are all well and I have had a chilled xmas.

I hope you all had great ones too! :)

Hugs and weimy pack licks! xxxx

HeyMicky · 27/12/2011 18:07

Evening all! AF arrived at Xmas lunch last week with pregnant friends and close colleague also announced last week she's pregnant, so quite a hard week. Only been trying a few months though so trying to be realistic. Been tracking informally but peeing on sticks from this month :)

Winkly · 27/12/2011 18:01

Hi I would like to join in, though the last few days have made me question the idea of becoming a parent...

PuggyMum · 27/12/2011 17:50

Ha! Well I've just bought 20 ovulation sticks and a 6 pack of tests!! That should keep me going! I'm also looking at my dogs asking them to tell me if I'm pregnant....I'll try not to pee on them though!! Ha!!

I work in a bank ... I've worked with women who would stab you with their stiletto heel or get on the 'casting couch' to get up the ladder! I'm a trainer now which means I don't work closely with anyone except my boss - who is a woman and is lovely! DH is a policeman. So shifts could have wreaked havoc with his swimmers! We have a very honest relationship so he tells me all the gossip as to who's shagging who behind their other halves backs....then they get the cushy jobs despite better candidates!! No need to wonder why!

DessieLou · 27/12/2011 17:40

Hahaha! You are not alone rasp ! x

DessieLou · 27/12/2011 17:39

Hey guys. And hello puggy! These girls know more about TTC than any doctor I've met so don't be afraid to ask for advice! They're right,try not to get too obsessed (easier said than done, I know!) it may be a long road but I hope it's not. I've been on here a couple of years although I go through stages of staying away from mumsnet to try to reclaim some sanity (not successfully as a rule!).
I came on yesterday so had a miserable couple of days but at least it'll be over with in time for new year. Have just figured out I'll be on peak shagging days whilst on a girls weekend in Edinburgh with my Mum....not good! I shall have to drag him upstairs the minute I get through the door! Looking forward to the weekend away though, lots of shopping and going to see We Will Rock You!
Hope you all had a good xmas. I was nursing a hangover most of the day. . It was a bit weird not seeing any family, I kinda missed the neices and nephews. Xmas is all about the kids, isn't it?
Anyway, I'm rambling.

ohhhh that sounds exciting puggy what do you and DH do? We are all very nice, perhaps not all the most sane but TTC can do that to a girl! Just wait until you get to the stage where you want to pee on anything that looks like a stick, every abdominal pain becomes potential ovulation pain and you start staring at your cervical mucus with such gusto to decide on it's stretchyness that if DH caught you he'd think you'd discovered a new species in your pants ..... or is that just me?

PuggyMum · 27/12/2011 16:27

Thanks Santascave x if good vibes from everyone here supporting each other could get you pg then we'd all be up the duff!
I like it when women are nice to each other. I see a lot of the not so nice side at mine / DH's work so this is all very new to me!!

SantasCave · 27/12/2011 15:18

Puggy, welcome to the mad house.

It is easy to get utterly obsessed with this ttc lark, so do try to be kind to yourself if things don't happen as fast as we'd all like.

On the drinking front, there is no real reason for you to give up altogether when ttc - I wouldn't have got through the last 2 years without ! Whilst I'm not advocating that you go out and get trollied, when you are pregnant the embryo is self-sufficient for the first 4 or 5 weeks as the placenta has not formed.

Here's hoping your stay is a short one, in the nicest way possible

PuggyMum · 27/12/2011 14:52

Thanks for the welcome raspberry :) I joined this site as everyone seems very friendly!!!

Just ventured out to the high street with the in laws (we staying with them over Xmas and New Year!) and trying to buy p tests and ovulation kits covertly is no easy task! Don't want to alert them to the fact we are ttc as they'll get excited!!! No spotting today so still hoping for the result but trying to also not drink (when I am a bit of a lush!) is also an operation in itself!

Hello Puggymum! and welcome..... I found I got really obsessed early on but I'm a bit more relaxed these days. 8 days is probably a little early to test - maybe hold off until the weekend.

Hope everyone has had a nice Christmas! I'm now at that awkward stage where I am on day 31 and my cycles are usually 30 days BUT i do have some 35 day cycles and our SWI was pretty regular this last month so I'm trying to hold off until Saturday morning as I do feel PMT'y but I'm getting seriously tempted now! I think I may have a test upstairs somewhere......

PuggyMum · 27/12/2011 00:21

Hello to everyone! I have just joined the site after spending most of xmas googling trying to find out if theres a magic way to see if I am pregnant after our first proper attempt (after several months of not-not trying!)....
I'm playing the waiting game as am only 8 dpo / 5 days to AF although had what I am hoping is an implantation bleed on Xmas Day night / today.... I am very regular so this was 6 days to AF... Trying not to get hopes too high although I did a Clearblue test on Xmas Morning which was a BFN but that was way too early (would have been a lovely Xmas pressie!) x
I have what feels like period pains too so I don't think this is my time x

I am 33 and a half, and 3st overweight so I'll be back at WW and the gym next week!

My best friend announced on Xmas Eve shes pregnant and 12 weeks so I hope it happens for me soon too x x

Good luck to us all x

SantasCave · 26/12/2011 13:37

Just marking my spot as you all slipped off my active threads!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas Day

FairyonthetreeG · 25/12/2011 11:13

Merry Christmas ladies!!! Okay it's two hrs early but I can't see me getting on line tomorrow whereas this evening is just a sleepy evening with wine watching star trek :)

Thanks for the welcome all :) must admit I tend to be more of a lurker than poster but it's nice to read everyone's posts. And nice to see someone popped back in with news of their wee one :)

I'm just off the pill so expecting my period to be late. Which is also very taunting! Bought a wee stack of internet cheapie tests in preparation for beginning to properly start TTC. Been on and off trying the last 4 weeks due to health problems.

Anyhoo. Been eating and drinking naughty things just like a few of the rest of ya :D

CareBear1 · 23/12/2011 22:16

Well done, Fairy, great news!!

Happy christmas, all.

FairyonthetreeG · 23/12/2011 20:54

Right tube is absolutely normal, got to go back in 6 months & still have 2 months left on clomid! Fingers crossed. We're ready for xmas!!!

raspberrytipple · 23/12/2011 09:23

fairy that's good news sight the lap & dye - does that mean no further tests and that the other tube is fine?

Hey dessie ! Glad you are settling into Scotland ok, we haven't had any snow yet really so am very jealous. I am well and truely off the wagon now so we can all be piggy's together.

Very impressed that Rose's first dinner will be a Christmas one! Very special indeed. Hole you have a wonderful first Christmas together

Well, it's nearly here!!! I just have a few last pressies to wrap and I have to get some custard for my triffle and drop a few cards off then I am done. Have so far managed to polish off three bottles of wine (and mulled wine) and two little (USB) boxes of chocs! naughty I know. Also had a wobble yesterday about whether I will have a baby, at the moment it feels as though I wil never be a mum. We chatted briefly about adoption as its been on the news and DH is fairly certain he doesn't want to go down that route :( but similarly I still want to give us every chance to have a baby of our own. Will just have to wait and see what 2012 brings. At least this time next year we might know where we stand, so here's hoping
