From egg to egghausted. The journey part one!

sorry little not ruby lol

cd 30 no sign of any visitors...last month had 31 cds.
Dispite His odd chat waffling i think he would be over the moon if i had got pg, in his words he doesnt like change personally i think he is scared of changes in life, due to never leaving home, never having worried about money, never left the company he works with in past 25years. so i just think he has dipped in and out of life but never truly experienced it?! I would be ecstatic if i found out i was pg. and i know that we would face it together, another of his previous wafflings was if i did get pg he would commit to the child for the rest of his life irrelevant of if we were a couple. he is a sturdy bloke to be with and there is alot of love within our little family unit

ruby saturdays without dp/b means a trip to the park, shopping, visiting my mum and taking dd for a walk to see her Favorite horses at some local stables, she adores them!! then its tea housework and bedtime routine. Saturdays with dp/b means trip to the following shops... local farm cos his mum send him for fruit n veg there, round the lane for a trip to the petshop in garden centre for fish, turtle, hamster supplies between the pair of us, morrisons or the like for fags for his mum, catfood for my ever eating cat, top up of bits for also my ever eating dc. take dd to park and also feed ducks, teatime and bedtime routine. so we too are boring its just normal family life i think though.

Ruby I would be a jealous cow if my DH invited a female friend on all our (rare) evenings out. I don't blame you! Have you got a nice male friend you could invite as well to pair her off with?

Saturday in my house means a lie in for DH while me and DD watch Disney movies and eat nutella on toast, while putting off doing the housework and Tesco's, then probably a bit of baking this afternoon and maybe a trip to the park... We are boring! What does Saturday mean to you?

metime - great news about the job and yes, hope the witch visits you soon!

ginger and minion - I'm liking the Friday night drinks idea!! Although my DP has a female friend who is driving me INSANE and I've just found out that she's also gatecrashing our night out tonight..... I was envisaging some nice drinks at a pub, maybe a bit of dinner, but turns out no, she wants to come too so we have to go to the manky local. I am sooooo annoyed but what can I say?! Have yet to find a way of saying I don't want her to go without sounding like a horrible jealous cow.....

Sitting here with my phone switched off so he can't phone me and ask me to pick her up. Childish I know but I'm having to spend the time calming down!

Happy Friday to you all and I hope you enjoy the wine (and tequila!)

Great news about the job metimeat. Think you are in good company for the witch to visit. That said, there is something called "sod's law". We are now waiting your news.

little chef job, 20 hours start week tomorrow and can somebody please send the witch to visit me, i know that sounds wrong considering the thread we are on, but due to new job and increasing addled brain from dp/b i think that the best option would be that i let her visit and then hopefully she will miss out visiting one of you all

Friday night chink of drinks glasses to you all.

Ahhh Ginger I'm sorry.
But let's hope for some April baby showers! Go out, have Brie, pâté, tequila and go on a roller coaster! Cause soon enough we'll not be allowed such frivolity!

Won't be taking back the skinny jeans I bought the other weekend (before I thought I was pg).

No lodger at mine either. Cramps came on quickly and then it started, although still a bit patchy.
What a bunch of let done hopefuls we are. Anyone still waiting?

Let's all look to 2014 and paaaaarrrrrrrttttttyyyyyy!

littlest 2013 are Sooo last year, it's all about 2014 now anyways xx
Sorry about AF, looks like she moved out of chez minion and into your gaffe.the witch!

Congratulations on the job! What is it?

AF moved in here early this morning. I guess I knew she was coming but I wish I knew why she was so late! Hope she doesn't stick around too long, I've missed my chance for a 2013 baby now.

little he is a commitmentphobe! he is a nice bloke, dont get me wrong, Two steps forward and one step back type lol.
i will be 39 in 8months time and had discussed (we did discuss ttc, although his manbrain only hears sex without protection) and we did agree that i would only ttc until i was 39, as i dont want to be much older than that for having DC#3. so the implant decission would only be 8months early iykwim.
One of the reasons for dp/db not living with me besides his mum is money, i have none as i havent been working for 4 months, and he has commitments for his money that wouldnt cover us together at the moment if i wasnt working. which if fair enough.
On a lighter note, i got the job and he is over the moon! he knew id get it man knowledge i start a week tomorrow.

Right CD4 and AF packed her bags late last night, as apparently I wasn't serving the correct type of tea, she likes loose leaf, I have pyramid bags... Who knew?
Typically tomorrow I'm away with work for 2 nights but hopefully on my return, all will be forgotten and I'm indoors will want to jump on the good foot and do the bad thing!

Metime, you have the right attitude. Get yourself sorted then allow him to join if it is right. Good luck with the job stuff.

CD32 for me and 5 days late. Still feeling very sick on and off throughout the day but feeling crampy this morning. Hope AF is not on the way. I know you can bleed slightly and still be pg. Is it the same for cramps?

Metime, sounds like he's a proper commitmentphobe! Can I just say, re the implant - don't believe what your doctor says about your fertility coming back immediately, I am living proof that it doesn't always work that way!

Still no AF here. CD 37. That's 11 days late. Did some googling and various websites (mainly American) seem to think there's still hope. But I have to say I'm not convinced, AF's was probably just delayed and she's hurtling closer every second, grinning evilly and rubbing her sweaty palms together.

ps, f**k dp, i will know if i get the job saturday and if we dont stay together then so be it, i will know im doing the best for my 2 dc (who are Not his)

Oh minion your sooo not alone! i too had the are we trying to conceive chat with dp the other day, or should i get an implant to prevent it, and the response was dont get the implant cos if we split up that means you wont have a kid with me or be able to with anybody else!!?? wtf?! but according to him we are just carrying on as normal, not TTC as was agreed in jan and if it happens it happens. (we dont currently live together btw thats for the future) he also said that as ive just had a job offer "we would need to discuss if we are staying together" due to possibly not going to see that much of each other!! because i would work random shifts (chef) and I wouldnt be able to be there on his days off, as and when it suits him cos his shifts change each week on a rota. AAAAGGGHHH!!! he is your typical doesnt like change guy, 41 and never moved out of mummys house, just him and his mum there, doesnt want to leave her on her own now at 74. Ive been on benefits now for 4 months, HATE struggling with money, desperate to get back to work! Personally im going to see about getting an implant, as theres just NO WAY i should be creating another life with him at the moment. still got a bfn this morning, cd 28, so i hope to god that im not preg at the mo, as although ive got an ok guy, feck me he is now just getting on my bloody nerves! and ohhh what joys, we going away on monday!!! i will keep you all posted as to how the next coupe of weeks work out, its been lovely to chat to others who are feeling the same way as men just arnt capable of the feelings women are.
Chances are though, after the hol i will probably report that ive secretly had the implant even if we do stay together.
best of luck for you all and sorry for the rant!! [ sad]

Ah how true about men having to think things through for themselves... It doesn't matter how many times you tell/ explain things to them, it's not till they think it's their idea that they become keen!!

Also, as we all know men don't listen anyway, you may as well save your time & not worry with the technical explanations until as & when he asks for them. He's probably not going to know whether you're using an OPK or not so personally I wouldn't bother explaining unless he asks about it.

Sorry if that sounds like I hate men - of course I don't, but I mainly work with men so have had to work out how to get them to listen to what I'm saying...!

Oooh, Game of Thrones season 2. I've read the second book but am only half way through season 1 on DVD. Any good?

Hi Minion, tough thoughts from you. Sounds as though he hasn't got his head into gear about this yet. Now we all know you can't tell a man what to do. They have simple minds and have to 'think' for themselves, even if we have sown the seed first. Perhaps best to keep off the details for a bit and have some fun.

I've also tried telling him that getting PG is really only limited to a few days a month its best if he was a little aware of OV days, but nope. He knows better!

That and season 2 of game of thrones sounds like the perfect antidote to CD3!
Bit worried actually. Last night hubby accused me of becoming obsessed with it after I asked him would he like to know when I OV or not! He chose not to as it would feel like an obligation to DTD. So I've chosen to go through it alone per say. Silly me thinking that when we both just discussed me coming off the pill it was a joint decision. Then when we were mid thru the deed, he said 'shall I get a condom?' I asked him what he thought, he said no and carried on regardless.. Now, that to me looks like we are trying seriously, but he's still saying well lets wait and see what happens. I know we haven't been trying long enough to get annoyed at a BFN, but to accuse me of being obsessive, when all I want to do is have a straight forward convo about it?
Gah!
Anyone else going thought the same with their supposedly better halves?

Ha! Coincidentally a minion is exactly what I feel like at work today...

Think you need a hot water bottle, some chocolate and preferably a big glass of wine to help with CD3!!

Hi all, decided to NC as meemawandmoonpie was far too long. Still me tho'.
