About to start / Just started TTC no.2 (part 3)

Engels I tagged summer hols into the end if my mat leave and had a lovely time at full pay!!

Monster - have no idea about ante natal care here Going to start investigating tomorrow. Have medical insurance through work though so at least I can go private. Will speak to my gp tomorrow who I hope can point me in the right direction.

Think I will tell the parents this week before we leave for the coast (and my parents in law).

Thanks all.

Swede, sounds like a lovely day if a little awkward at times. How does antenatal care work in South Africa? When do you think you'll tell your mum?

Monster - keeping fx for your third cycle.

Not feeling pregnant at all. Did another digi today and it still says pregnant so I guess I am. We have public holiday today so I went Xmas shopping with my mum. Very awkward as she wanted to buy me clothes as a Xmas present but I did my best to avoid since I know I will look like a hippo soon. I think she may have thought I was being ungrateful since I declined most things she suggested. Think I may have to tell her sooner rather than later.

Monster, enjoy the wine and all things yummy over Christmas!

Engels, yes I was utterly obsessed. :-) And that would be very convenient re mat leave!

Monster, I'm sorry about AF showing. I hope 3rd cycle and 3rd thread will be lucky for you. I'm sure if you've been good Father Christmas will bring you a BFP xx

Yes and yes Engels. A bfp this month would suit life very nicely here too. I didn't know that about teachers and mat leave, very handy for you.

Is this your 3rd cycle monster? I got pg 3rd cycle this time......hope it's lucky for you!

does anyone else get a bit obsessive checking pg calculators and things like that? I have already worked out that if I did get pg this cycle then dc would be due 5th September which would be fab for ml(teacher) as summer hols don't count towards ml, could put my feet up during august and july!

Morning all
Thanks for the kind words yesterday. Quite sad but had some last night and we're feeling a bit more positive today. Third cycle lucky and all that. Maybe Santa is bringing my my BFP when he visits our house on Christmas eve and I should be a more patient monstersaurus.

Engels, another vote here for continuing to TTC. If only you could plan these things!

Awake, hope you get your implant out soon.

How are you feeling Swede?

Kt - FX that January is our month!

Wow that's really quick Donna
I had mine out on dec before and found out I was pg in feb, hoping for a quick positive this time too

Welcome Awake!

Better I wouldn't worry about a bit of pink CM, if you've had no pain. Obviously if you do worry, mention it to mw, but it sounds like nothing to worry about to me.

My sickness was terrible last time and lasted the full 9 months, so I expect it to last until the end this time, but thankfully it's nowhere near as bad as last time. The worst thing is we've just been out for a curry with a group of neighbours and I couldn't eat my curry. It was really nice too. We had to cope without a high chair or booster seat, but DD was an absolute star and even ate some curry. So proud of her as we were there for 3hrs and she didn't have a single tantrum.

Thanks for the new thread lucy! Lets hope this thread is even luckier!! Congrats swede! Lovely early Xmas prezzie! Sorry to hear AF has arrived monster see you on the January bus thread though here's hoping that's our month! Sorry to hear about your DH donna'hope something comes up soon, that's all you need right by Xmas. engels'i hope things work out soon for you, and I agree with the others, keep TTC :) sorry to anyone else I've missed trying to catch up on my phone is hard! As for me I'm a bit concerned this cycle, have has really strange period like cramps on the left side every now and again last couple of days but surely I can't be ovulating this early? First day of last period was 3rd dec I have a period every 5 weeks so I've been estimating Ive been ovulating 3 weeks after first day of last period? If this is right it's only a 10 day lutheal phase about so it won't be long enough for an egg to fertilise? I'm definatly going to book docs apt for jan as I want to be referred to check if its the PCOS doing this or something else.

hi awake good luck getting your implant out I had mine removed 17 weeks ago and im currently 15 weeks pregnant fx ur as lucky as me!
better ignore the cm have u had a date for scan?
dh has set wheels in motion for landscape business think the bad weather had helped so things look promising so far. . . he finishes on Friday so just going to enjoy the holidays and deal with it in the new year

I lovr goats cheese its lovely grilled with chilli and orange marmalade mmmmm!

Engels, that sounds like a good plan!!
I may try and enjoy all the finer things in life for the next few weeks
I'm just at my plans not falling into place but oh well!!
I told the 2 girls I work with about being hopeful for implant removal this week so they know if I have to dash off

Oh, and yes, ignore the CM!

Hi Awake! Hope you get your implant out sooner rather than later.

Engels...yummy!!

Better, I'm still not feeling amazingly pregnant. I'm tired and a bit achey / crampy but otherwise relatively symptomless! Are you having night sweats? Mine are utterly grim. Hate them. :-/

We walked about 3 miles today. It was nice to go out as a family, but it's wiped me out for the rest of the day.

Welcome awake.

In the spirit of not being pg I am eating goats cheese and drinking lovely wine

Hurrah for thread 3. I accidentally pressed 'hide' on thread 2 and I couldnt see it anymore!!!

Congratulations to swede on bfp.

Sorry for your bfn monster, hope youre ok.

Donna what a rubbish time of year to get that news. How are you feeling about it?

Engels, I agreee with the others, there were afew things in our diary for next year we considered taking a break certain months for but in the end we decided against it.

Windy, has your sickness been very bad? Mines not been bad yet, more a general constant nausea feeling which I'd rather than actually being sick. I think it helps that I dont have to be up & out on a morning like last time. With my first one I was constantly pulling the car over on the way to work to be sick. The worst thing this time is the fatigue, way way worse than last time.

Hungry, how are you?

Sorry to anyone I've missed.

Had a nice weekend this weekend, juat topped off by watching polar express with husband & LO. The last few days have been a little overshadowed by a tiny bit of light pink discharge (sorry tmi) but it was only twice and literally the tiniest bit (had to squint to see it) and no pain or bleeding so im just going to carry on as if it never happened?

Ooh I was just nosing around for a thread to keep me going!!
Went for a. Appointment to have my implant out so I can start ttc, couldn't do it there an then, next appointment is in January (last time they were able to do there and then) the lady said I can try ringing this wed to see if they have enough staff to do it - having to go to a sexual health clinic for it as the doctor who does it at my doctors is on long term sick
Exciting to see bfp's
I hope mine won't be too far away after implant removal

I know ladies. That's what my dm, dh and one of our mutual friends said. I don't think I would even think about it if it was anyone else. She's my best friend, as close if not closer than my Dsis's, I'm a bm, she lives on the other side of the world but is coming back to the uk to get married.

IF and I know this is a big if, I got pg in Jan dd would be probably the week if not the day of the wedding (if my cycle stays as regular as it always has).

Still, I don't want a bigger gap with ds than I can help. You can't plan these things.

I'm with ATruth on this one, Engels. I really wouldn't put it on hold.

monster - I'm sorry. I really thought this was going to be your month

engels - it's your call, but personally I wouldn't have put ttc on hold for someone else's wedding.

Sorry to hear that monster.

donna what awful timing with your dh - just before Christmas as well.

no more dtd here. I'm not pushing it wirh dh. Feel like I should wait till we get the all clear from hospital ( Though we may get a miracle pg from Thurs!).

It's another year another chance. J u st gave to decide what to do re: best friend's wedding. Do we stop ttc for a few months?

Oh, bugger Monster. I was hopeful too. :-/

But third cycle is quite lucky round this way. The last 3 BFPs were all third cycles. :-)

Swede, I'm glad your DH is happy. I couldn't imagine waiting 24 hours to tell mine. Your parents will be so pleased when they know. FWIW I'm predicting twins as both of your ovaries hurt!!

And yes, here you go: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/antenatal_clubs/1938912-August-2014-What-a-Christmas-present?msgid=43649193

Looks like AF has arrived. Oh well. Here's going the third cycle is lucky for us.

Sound like a lovely Sunday Swede. Must be lovely to have told your dh.
