Temping, Testing and Tantrums- We've got it all on THE TCC THREAD!

hey all not had a chance to catch up, manic day!!

will catch up properly from home tonight so hope you'l all be here around about tea time

hope you all ok x

I think DS thinks I'm having twins. I just asked him if I'm having a girl and he nodded then I asked if I was having a boy and he nodded again apparently 99% of the time siblings are right!!

oh and I really wished I loved my work, you are lucky. There are times when I really enjoy what I do but there are times when I pull my hair out. More to do with the company than the job, never enough money or time to ever do my job properly!

I understand Geordie, I was not meaning to judge. As I said I couldn't do it from a selfish POV, not moral. And of course there is nothing wrong with wanting to go back to work, in a sense it would be a lot easier if I did, then we could afford ttc a bit quicker. I just don't want to miss out on the early years, again its me being selfish. I have been waiting for so many years to have kids that I don't want to leave them in nursery if I can avoid it, which I might not, but still I def don't want to leave the full time. Its a personal choice. And as you said you know your DP does want kids, so I really understand where you are coming from.

Yeah I think we were quite lucky. I didn't bf DS so I couldn't rely on that. But my friend got pg 7 weeks after having her first. She was BF so its not 100%

But think of the cats! I still find that so funny 3 years later! Of all the excuses someone could come up with for not ttcing.

I have had one more. The first time we gof after having ds the condom split. Again I was waiting to go back on the pill. I didn't get pg obviously but was a bit worried I didn't want to be pg 8 weeks after having DS.

you know what Kay, the exact same thing happend to me at that age. I was 16 or 17 and Dh and I had a condom split on us (the one and only time this has ever happened to us) and I was waiting to go on the pill too! Got the morning after pill, made me really really sick, my Mum thought I had the most awful tummy bug . Must be quite common I spose, strange that I have never had one split since though.

I was going on the pill as well. I was waiting for af to come so I could start taking them.

video we were there and it was so lovely.

Hi Geordie, thanks.

By the way I think you have more nerve than me in trying to assist an accidental pg. I just couldnt do it, not from any moral position, more from a selfish position. I really do not want to go back to work full time after mat leave, if I have to work I only want to do a little part time (16-20 hours max) and would rather be a SAHM if we could afford it, which although unlikely, is possible as we are talking of about 2 years away, so depends on DH's pay-rises. Therefore, I want DH's full and total support before trying. I will need his emotional and financial support when pg and with the LO, so I want to know I have it before we try.

Sophie Bless her.

at what you lot have been talking about this morning, see what happens when I turn my back!

Nat, it wasn't LL with the list it was me.... 14 things to go!

Squacky I agree with what you've said about BJs , but at 'it's full of vitamins & minerals you know' [vom]

GJ, norty you!

I'm playing nurse today, DH went to hosp to have 2 back teeth pulled out this morning. Well not teeth actually, just the stumps of roots left behind after the teeth have rotten away! He had to be sedated and is now lazing resting in bed and won't be able to work for a couple of days. DD1 is very cross that Daddy's here but can't be jumped on.

And it's raining .

Kayz, who is Sophie Lancaster?

Hi Playing, I hope it all goes well for you. You deserve a pay rise.

GJ, it does happen. Condoms split etc.

I had it happen to me when I was about 17 and I was so scared. I had the morning after pill and I remember saying to the doctor "Just give me the damn tablet FFS" when he was asking all these stupid questions. One of which was
"Did you use a condom?"
"Yes"
"Did it split?"
"Yes" Even though I was thinking 'Well obviously you idiot'

of course I meant why couldnt my review be this morning rather than the afternoon, I hate all the waiting!

Hi Ladies, lots of dubious conversations going on over this weekend, BJs, marmite motorways, self insemination and I missed it all

Well I had a pretty laid back weekend, BBQ on sat and some gardening and friends round for sunday lunch. Did a lovely Beef and Ale pie with mustard mash, old school and yummy.

Feeling pretty nervous now today, got my annual apraisal later today (well its actually been 13 months since my last one). Always makes me a bit scared!!! Worse than that I know I am going to have to push really hard for a pay rise, which I hate doing, but I am so underpaid here and I have just found out that they are advertising for a new position, slightly more junior/about the same level as mine and offering more money . So its got to be done, I am actually feeling very sick just thinking about it. Why couldn't it be in the morning?

Awww bless Star. I did that to with the Dec 08 one.

GJ have you thought about what you will say to him if you do get pg now? Or are you hoping he'll think the condom spilt or he 'dribbled'(I cant think of a word for it) before he withdrew?

It was very moving.
