I think the not stressing about it is the key. Again, it is easy to say now.

It is all very exciting though, one minute May seems like agesssss away and the next minute it doesn't seem that far away at all.

It doesn't help with all of the pregnancies on MN at the moment, and the Am I/Aren't I threads that seem to be everywhere you go, but they are so exciting I can't stay away.

I think this time I might just get a clearblue digital one straight away instead of using other ones where I'm not sure if there is really a line or not.
I just want to relax about it all.

NatalieJane · 11/02/2008 13:33

I have same thoughts Kay, I think we have to just take it as it comes. Easy to say now isn't it?!!

I know I am going to turn into some sort of TTC monster, and then if/when I get a BFP I will be the only one doing HPT's every five minutes to make sure the line is still there, and down the GP's doing everything and anything I can to make sure that at 6 weeks on the dot I get an early scan! (I didn't even book in with the midwife till I was 12 weeks last time, and then didn't see anyone again (except for my two noraml scans) till I was about 24 weeks! So it is going to be a big difference for me)

kayzisbroody · 11/02/2008 13:27

Aren't we awful?
I'm quite worried that because I got pg so quickly with ds I'll take forever to concieve this time round.

NatalieJane · 11/02/2008 13:19

Diege, others will be lurking on the thread now thinking 'Bitches! It's not farking funny hun' LOL

Diege · 11/02/2008 13:09

COSMO - Were we that convincing?! . Excellent! I'm sure we will all look back in a few months time and shake our heads in disbelief at how flippant we were, when we all become DEADLY SERIOUS when out ttc month comes .

NatalieJane · 11/02/2008 12:59

Whooooo hooooooooooooooo, another one bites the dust

I don't know if this thread is helping or hindering our efforts of waiting....!

Just hope I am not next to succombe!!

kayzisbroody · 11/02/2008 12:52

I have come to a decison. I am not going to start my pill tomorrow!!
I'm going to let my cycle get back to normal.

NatalieJane · 11/02/2008 12:50

LOL Cosmo, no I am only on CD7 or there abouts, and we hadn't even had unprotected sex anyway, but Diege was convinced () my full blown AF was an implantation bleed...! She's a funny'un Your lunch sounds good, make the most of it

I've chucked all of my maternity stuff away, else I'd have been in it last month! Oh well, gives me an excuse for more shopping I suppose

BeMyLilBaby · 11/02/2008 12:42

Hello all, god what a busy monday! cosmo your do sounds nice!

you've all been busy again, i struggle to keep up

Cosmogirl · 11/02/2008 12:40

Hey, no big leaving do planned - just out to lunch on Thurs with a few friends from work. Should be nice. What is this about you testing NJ?? Have I missed something major?
I love the word 'hun' - use it far too often!

kayzisbroody · 11/02/2008 11:19

I have just thought of another reason to lose weight, so when I do get pg I can fit into my old maternity clothes. I've got loads of nice stuff that I cant wear now.

Oh and dh just weighed himself and I weigh over a stone more than him

NatalieJane · 11/02/2008 11:13

PMSL at the thought of testing now, I'll leave it for now thanks hun

I think it is perfectly OK planning a baby around a dress, can't think of anything more important to plan it around actually... I can't believe anyone would think anything different hun.

Oh god, I am going to get into a habit of typing hun to everyone now.... I will be chased off MN for life.

kayzisbroody · 11/02/2008 11:13

I'm having one of those days today. I cant get bold to work or underline or anything!!

kayzisbroody · 11/02/2008 11:12

Just come back from town and I have folic acid at last!!!
Also I have got some more diet cookbooks from the library. I got ww baked beans too and reduced fat coleslaw (I wanted the creamy one ) I feel really good.

Diege he always dithers about everything, like just know he wanted tea then coffee, made tea and now wants coffee!! Its a normal way of life for me

Diege · 11/02/2008 11:07

Morning girls! Just a few minutes to post before colleagues get back and start peeking over my shoulder!
Wow Kay, so full speed ahead for ttc then? Agree with Natalie that if it were me I think I'd like a bit more clarity from dh, but hey if you're happy with his dithering then we're happy . I'm the same with wanting a new baby next year as opposed to the end of this one. I've had 2 November babies and while it was lovely, would like to enjoy Christmas knowing that I have something to look forward to in a few months time! (Plus I can hopefully wear my gorgeous Isabella Oilver dress that I have saved from last time at the Xmas parties - I am so shallow I know - planning a pregnancy around a dress ).
Good plan NJ re: getting the house sorted. Always best to take things one room at a time I think. Gives you a growing sense of accomplishment, and at the same time seems 'do-able' too . Hey now your implantation bleed seems to have petered off, might be a good time to test as there should be enough HCG in your system???. Just a thought, although I wouldn't be able to wait personally! (you test when you are ready hun ). And good going onn the shagging . I've promised dh tonight, and now I wish I'd 'got it out of the way' last night . I'm just sooo tired at the moment!
Hi COSMO!! Wow, the new job seems to have arrived really quickly! Enjoy your week off
Right, best get back to it!

NatalieJane · 11/02/2008 10:46

Hiya Cosmo, it is nice to see you

I hope your last week goes OK, are you having a leaving 'do' of any kind?

You will, in a very strange way, miss taking the pill, it was always part of my nightly routine, and for ages after I stopped taking it I felt I had forgotten something all the time!

Cosmogirl · 11/02/2008 10:40

Morning all,

Just thought I'd pop my head in and say hi. I've not been on much but still lurk from time to time.
Last pill to take tomorrow!! Ekk....
Also last week of my notice before a blissful week off work before starting the new job.
Hope you all had good weekends. It was really painful getting out of bed this morning.

NatalieJane · 11/02/2008 10:23

Tell me about it, the big plan for this year (other than TTC'ing!) is to go through the rooms one by one, hire a couple of big skips, get rid of anything we don't actually need, decorate, and then move onto the next room. It help's us either way, it will get the house ready to go on the market, and hopefully someone will buy it before 2020, or at least it will give us much needed space for another body in here!

kayzisbroody · 11/02/2008 10:16

I know, I've got the old gerbil cage to get rid off.
I really need to have a good sort out, we have so much stuff we dont need or use to get rid off

NatalieJane · 11/02/2008 10:13

Only to work my way through the house getting cleared and cleaned up. Have hardly touched any of it since the MC, what with having the cold and everything, it is offically a shit tip at the moment, and it is driving me mad. DS1 is on half term next week so I'll spend all this week tidying up just for him to wreck it again next week! ...And I want another one.... must be bloody insane!

kayzisbroody · 11/02/2008 10:10

No, I'm back at work this week, but its only tuesday evening and all day thursday. Going to the big swimming pool in York with my friend and her little sister friday which should be fun.
Have you got anything planned?

NatalieJane · 11/02/2008 10:08

She's not been on since Thursday Hope she is OK.

You got anything planned for the week?

kayzisbroody · 11/02/2008 10:04

Im not sure where Playing is

NatalieJane · 11/02/2008 10:00
