Sorry, started typing that before Playing came back, took me ages in between sorting the kids!

Pop, it can be a good thing to wait a month, just for dating purposes, but I do know how you feel. Just make it clear to him that there is no medical reason to wait, there is no risk involved, but I think if he says to wait, you might have to just sit tight till next cycle.

I suppose 3 or 4 more weeks isn't such a long time in the grand scheme of things. You're right playing, may be it is sensible to wait. If the pregnancy ended in mc again then I would always wonder if things would have been different had i waited a few weeks. Like you said, the company from you lovely lot will help to pass the time.

LOL My DS1 yesterday morning conversation went:

DS1: "Mum, you are the best mum in the world"
Me: "Ah that's nice, thankyou, eat your breakfast"
DS1: "Even better than Pepper Pig's mummy"
Me: "Thank you. Where did I put DS2's shoes?"
DS1: "Near the buggy. You are the best mum in the world, but you are very forgetful, it is almost as though you haven't got a brain"
Me:

Oh popcorn thats hard, mind you it might be a sensible plan . Well at least whilst you wait you can have some company, its what we are all doing on here, keeping each other company while we wait, some post mc.

popcornprincess · 13/02/2008 18:17

DH has just come in and said that he wants to wait until one AF has been and gone before we ttc. I know he's only doing it because he cares but can't help feeling a little disappointed.

Playingthewaitinggame · 13/02/2008 18:15

He He I am lurking again, naughty playing

lardylumps · 13/02/2008 18:14

I know the feeling no one tells you (and it sure isn't in any books) that once you have children you lose brain cells. I am so forgetful now..

NatalieJane · 13/02/2008 18:11

He her, I sound like a donkey!

I actually used to be quite good at typing/spelling, it all went down the pan when the kids came along, got too many things going on at once!

NatalieJane · 13/02/2008 18:10

Well, it is what they do at school isn't it?! Luckily he loves his mum more than he her so he know's who to trust, even if it is actually misplaced trust!

lardylumps · 13/02/2008 18:08

How mean of her...

NatalieJane · 13/02/2008 18:07

Well it would have been if his friend at school (a ^girl ) told him the toothfairy doesn't really exist, a quick "oh she doesn't know what she's talking about" from me saw him straight LOL

lardylumps · 13/02/2008 18:03

Ah the joys of the tooth fairy.... It is all magical isn't it.

lardylumps · 13/02/2008 18:02

opps didn't read that properly it just came out not through sorry...

NatalieJane · 13/02/2008 18:01

The one that has just come out and the one next to it have been wobbly for ageeeees, before xmas, it is the two bottom middle teeth. His new adult teeth have fully grown up behind them! Gonna be searching the house for a £2 coin all night now!

lardylumps · 13/02/2008 17:56

NJ my dd first tooth came on christmas day and now the one next to it is coming through. When she smiles she sticks them right out now and looks so cute....

NatalieJane · 13/02/2008 17:50

DS1's first tooth just came out, awww my baby is growing up.....

NatalieJane · 13/02/2008 17:47

OK spaghetti in the pan and frozen home made bolognaise (god I love my DH, did I say that already today?!!) warming up

LL I am taking FA now. Recent study showed the ultimate time is a year before TTC'ing, so start whenever you want really, sooner the better.

Mmmmm fish and chips with curry sauce, not the runny crap the chinese give you (that is actually very nice with chinese food, just not 'right' with chippy chips!), the nice proper lumpy curry sauce mmmmmmm

Teuch sounds like a nice time was had by all You gonna be GOF'ing all night tonight as well now?

popcornprincess · 13/02/2008 17:43

LL my doc said as soon as you start TTC.

lardylumps · 13/02/2008 17:39

When should I start taking Folic Acid? My last pregnancy was a surprise so didn't start until I found out.

Hullo all. Lots of chatting again, and lovely posts to read!! Thanks for sharing, it is inspiring and puts my moans and groans into perspective.

We've had a lovely afternoon - lots of friends and toddlers (and a baby!) round, all over the house and out in the massive sandpit out the back Was very sunny and warm and we all ate too much caramel shorty!!

Welcome Pop - sorry to hear about mc, but there are one or two of us on this thread who have been there too so feel free to lean. I get quite bad OV pains...cramping and sharp pain (worse on the left than right) and I confirm it with the EWCM check. Also doing OV tests this month and got faint +ve today as well, so good to know the signs all match!

Am contemplating fish and chips - keep telling myself that the Omega 3 far outweighs the badness of the batter and the chips!

NatalieJane · 13/02/2008 17:35

Oh god, I am never gonna get it done with you lot!

I think DH and I might have a take out, but kids won't have take away, unless it is from the place with a big yellow M, which I am not even going to write in full in case one of them smells it and starts that they want one!

Though might be better to have a take away tomorrow.... will ponder as I cook

NatalieJane · 13/02/2008 17:32

LOL LL, you're very welcome

Right, really must do dinner...

popcornprincess · 13/02/2008 17:32

NJ - send for a take out and stay on here with us

NatalieJane · 13/02/2008 17:31

Bye Playing, have a good night, hope you are back on top form by tomorrow.

I didn't mean to get with dinner, what a weird child that would be, I did mean to get on with dinner, but not sure if that sounds worse now....!
