The Full Cupboard of Pregnacare, Brazil Nuts, Grapefruit Juice...(No1 Babies Detective Agency pt4)

I told you I'd killed the thread! I'm here, but keep on checking and nothing going on....

... it's very quiet on here today..

MT congrats!

Toomuch - won't be going anywhere quickly!

Don't be daft MT - we love having your here - in fact you have to promise to stay even with a {toomuch whispers} BFP!

I think that he would probably make a fantastic big brother most of the time. However, if it isn't sticky, he's a fantastic os - everyone on this link who's still waiting for #1, its worth waiting for!

BTW, sorry, I seem to have started something with more people ttc no2 onwards on this thread - and I only followed Kensgirl to start with to give her some encouragement.

MT - DS sounds so cute! I've got everything crossed that this is a sticky one for you!

Ds currently has Freddie monster and Jessie monster accompanying him around. The other evening he was getting frightened with 'Monsters Coming!' (quite where he's got this I don't know) - so I thought that I would invent a friendly monster to look after him and frighten the nasty ones away. Jessie was introduced by ds shortly afterwards, but I don't know what Jessie looks like (Freddie is black and pink). Ds had to go and let them into the bathroom at bathtime last night as Freddie needed a bath!

Won't be getting excited for sometime yet. Been here before, and so far 2-1 against anything positive, so not getting hopes up.

Dh, when I told him, said 'you can't be... we didn't....' - I reminded him that it was only once! (yes, I have been counting)

Morning MT!! {toomuch whispers - Congratulations} Did you only manage to bong once this month too?

Course you haven't killed the thread!

Morning everyone else - how are we all today - it's a beautiful morning through my office window today

I am officially in the 2ww now as my temperature rose this morning..

Wow, I've killed a thread - and it had been so busy....

Not counting anything yet - had line this time last year - and it continued after mc, with associated worry of a 2nd mp - and after 1st mp (pre ds), didn't count anything for ages with ds - kept going from one test to another thinking that it would all go wrong again (and now look what's asleep seraf-like upstairs - never believe he's a little devil at times)

Sybil - its the maternity leave that really costs a lot - £7k down last time and that was without any nursery fees or anything else like that....

Going to have to really get my Pampered Chef working (its going quite well at the moment) so can take a bit of time off but also start bringing something in during 6 months off!

MT, congratulations!! I know it can be really scary initially when reality and that bfp dawns, but you will be fine and the second is much cheaper than the first - honest, you already have all the stuff!

We are thrilled for you, well done.

mistlethrush - well done you. please be chuffed, its amazing. (but i am completely naive and my sabateur friends with kids tell me that they are really not that expensive)

Things get even stranger... One of ds's last comments to me before bed was 'you've got a baby in your tummy'... 15 mins later very feint bfp. But not celebrating - just on edge and now no longer able to justify breaching birthday bottle of wine that dh left in fridge before deserting me.

Don't know how we're going to afford a second, but it might be a bit late to consider that now.

dare i venture out of the ttc after mc into here?

hope its okay i join you.
me, i am 32, british but live in scandinavia. got pregnant this summer but had an mc in august. have had one scanty af and am on cd30 but think my cycles are buggered.

have gone from a post-mc tramatised obsession with ttc and diet, to mellowing out a lot and drinking wine, soft cheese and all kinds of other naughties. am now thinking it time to get on the grapefruit juice and brazil nuts and start peeing on sticks.

has anyone else heard about keeping low-gi and stable blood sugar will help fertility? am curious as this month has been all about the chocolate . . . .

I even walked straight through Boots without a backward glance (had been delivering DH's sick note to excuse him missing OU exam).

Came back through shops wanting to get ds a belt in Mothercare as I don't want him going round with his crotch at knee level - I'm sure we'll have enought of that when he's a teenager - to find it has closed - so went to Adams - also closed. So ds will have to continue with pants showing around the top of his trousers that are falling down... (he has suddenly shot up and now no longer in washable nappies, there is nothing to hang the trousers from!)

Oh Gilly I am sorry, but sometimes these dates turn around. My edd for the mc was Sun.29th Sept. and when I got my new bfp I realised I must have been (very slightly) pg when I spent the whole day crying about wanting another baby.

And MT how laid back are you? I would have peed-on-a-stick in Boots by now, we are dying of anticipation...
