Yum was in need of a new thread, and I thought the title was apt because it's not just TCOYF charts anymore... hope it's ok?? I don't want anyone to think I am taking over

Just needing something, anything, to take my mind OFF my impending doom

I'm in. Online. Woo.

How was everyone's Christmas? I had a lovely time, got well and truly spoilt rotten, and am looking forward to 2008 - it is going to be a bump-er year

How are you all?

cityangel · 23/12/2007 16:34

Oh 3cats I hope it works out. PG is going ok now after the bleeding scare. Just hanging on for 12 week scan in Jan to see if ok...

Hey Petitfilou good luck with the charting. My dh hated it too. I think that was because it was a daily reminder to him that it wasn't working out for us. Still after 15 months we've got lucky... 9 weeks pg with fingers crossed.
Are you using the charting software or paper charts?

Hi Ready I hope your house move is going ok... let us know when you're in!

greedygreedyguzzler · 22/12/2007 11:37

sorry 3 cats .....just read your previous post and i can see dh is still a bit reluctant! why is he unsure about another one?

greedygreedyguzzler · 22/12/2007 11:35

hi 3cats!!!! how strange you thought of me just before i decided to come on here and look you up!!! sorry....i thought you knew i had popped! i was 10 days overdue in the end as well. my third was definatlet the most painful, was yours? mind you she was a lot bigger than my other two.

how is everything with you then? great news about city isn't it? you will be next........i really hope 2008 is the year for you! has dh come round to the idea a bit more now?

3catstoo · 22/12/2007 10:07

Hi Petitfilou, you are more than welcome to join us. There are very few of us still on here now.

Good luck to you too.

Hope it works for you again.

PetitFilou1 · 21/12/2007 20:12

Hello Can I join please? - have two dcs (both conceived after charting ), ds 4 in Feb and dd nearly 2.5.

I am 35 now and trying for no3 but have a feeling it will not be so easy this time. My first cycle after my (copper) coil was removed was 35 days. Am now on day 29 of second cycle and am not sure what is going on this time either. I wasn't going to chart this time as dh hates it but have changed my mind...

Good luck to you all anyway

3catstoo · 21/12/2007 11:35

I must have missed that post.

Interesting that she had a girl. That's what we all thought after Oving 6 days after bding.

DH was a bit too sober last night. So we had a debate at 2am. The really frustrating part is that he lets it get sooooo far before pulling back and saying 'no condom, no sex'.

I can't think where to go from here.
I know I can't force him to have another baby but this feeling hasn't gone away for 3 years.

I still feel that although we tried for 15 months, we didn't (or rather DH didn't) do everything we could.

DH thinks that once DD goes to school next year that I will get a full time job and forget about having another baby.
I can just see it getting worse actually.

I think Ov was yesterday or today. I ran out of opks.

How are you feeling City.

I don't mind you talking about your pregnancy, I am thrilled for you. Please don't feel you have to limit your conversations/posts on here. To be honest it's nice to hear about other peoples good news and excitement, it lifts my mood .

Now I must get on with tidying the house ready for Christmas and the arrival of my parents.

Lots of Love

cityangel · 20/12/2007 22:20

I know she has so I scrolled back and it was October!

10/10/07 4.29pm and she weighed 8lb 9 1/2oz!
Greedy called her Marcy

Good luck with dh... drink has the opposite effect on mine!

Happy Christmas to you and Ready

3catstoo · 20/12/2007 17:54

City, has Greedy had her baby yet?
Am I being daft, have we already heard that news? She was due in November wasn't she? Or am I totally mad and got the dates wrong?

DH has his Xmas bash tonight. Lots of EWCM here, so hoping he gets drunk and carried away. Naughty of me I know but it's my only hope.

Have a fab Christmas.

xxxx

cityangel · 18/12/2007 22:45

Good luck 3catstoo

Happy moving and Christmas Ready

I will try and pop in lots to send Christmas wishes.

3catstoo · 17/12/2007 18:47

Yes you too have a great Christmas Ready and City.

Nothing happening here, apart from DH NOT reaching for the drawer (a week too early to mean anything ) and then declaring afterwards that he won't be making that mistake again as he felt depressed.

Well, his Christmas party is on friday (supposed day of Ov) so him being drunk is my only hope now.

Anyway, best wishes to you both and anyone who may be lurking.

Ready · 17/12/2007 00:10

Last post before the move... back as soon as I get back online... but until then, have a wonderful Christmas girls and here's to 2008 - may it be filled with lots of happiness!! xx

cityangel · 16/12/2007 17:56

cold is nearly gone... just trying to catch up with Christmas chores!

I hope you are all ok and have great Christmases

3catstoo · 14/12/2007 18:16

Good Luck with the move Ready.

Hi City. Hope your cold goes quickly.

Ready · 12/12/2007 10:07

I think you jinxed yourself in an earlier post, when you said of all the vitamins you'd taken, that you got fewer colds Hope you are feeling better soon.

Big wave to 3cats

cityangel · 12/12/2007 00:05

Cool I hope it goes smoothly

Come back when you can I'll miss you

I managed 4 presents must try harder!

I bought 4 boxes of tissues to persuade the cold away! My Mum gave it to me!

right off to bed, hi 3catstoo waving

Ready · 11/12/2007 19:21

Moving back east - I have been just like you, putting off wrapping presents, but I finally gave in and broke the back of it today. Sorry about your cold (hugs) - look after yourself. xx

cityangel · 11/12/2007 18:20

Good luck with the move Ready moving any further south?

I'll try and sneak on over Christmas but will be out of action over New Years so I hope you have a good one!

3catstoo how are you?

I am full of cold and trying not to put off wrapping Christmas presents any longer, it's amazing how many diversion tactics I've come up with so far!

Ready · 11/12/2007 13:43

Moving house next week - yay! So may well be without internet access for a while. If that is the case, I hope you both have a wonderful christmas and great new year

Ready · 07/12/2007 21:24

Still haven't had that drink for you yet City - won't be long, and I will be toasting in your honour.

3cats - I am sorry that you are in a new cycle, but loving the plan of proving you can cope.

cityangel · 06/12/2007 20:27

Good luck 3catstoo that sounds like a good plan

Hope you're doing ok Ready

3catstoo · 06/12/2007 14:58

Nothing to be envious of City

AF arrived first thing this morning. A 27 day cycle this time. Looks like I did Ov when I suspected it was a bit early.

Not upset as I knew there was no chance. Also the short cycle means my next chance comes around more quickly .

Ov for this cycle has moved since I updated my chart. Makes it a bit easier as our visitors won't have arrived by then.

Now I'm going to be on a mission to declutter the house and prove to DH that I could cope. Wish me luck.
I have been very good though and started sorting cupboards and clearing the mess from our bedroom. It always seems to our room that ends up with all the junk in.

Hope you are both well (you to IAMPG).

cityangel · 04/12/2007 23:06

I feel left out not having a squeeky bed.. off to make it squeek

3catstoo · 04/12/2007 18:50

Winter Pimms is quite similar to the usual one but you heat it up with apple juice.

I quite like sherry too.
Baileys is nice aswell.

I'm not a wine drinker as I can't handle it. After half a glass I get a 3 day hangover with blackouts and all.

So I steer clear (I think I drank too much when I was 18 and now my body can'y hack it.)

Mulled wine is fine though and goes down a treat. I think that's why I like the warn Pimms too.

Listen to me going on about drinking .

The squeeky bed is a real problem you know. Even with no one else in the house, it bugs us sometimes..
Must do something about it in the new year. Or add to the list...

Story time now so must dash.....

Ready · 04/12/2007 14:47

PMSL at the squeaky bed 3cats Here's to a wonderful Christmas full of fun and laughter, and without all the worries of ttc. Resume discussion in the New Year I reckon

Never had winter pimms either - love regular pimms though

Sherry! Cityangel - I would never have pegged you as a sherry drinker Christmas is a relatively tame time for us really - DH is usually busiest at this time of year, lots of games (he's fixed up again now, phew!) around the holidays, as you know. Hehe, I always think of you when I see your boys playing now too
