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

Added you!

I am on Myspace too!!

Kay, you need to read the pregnancy test instructions more carefully, it says something along the lines of "If you recieved a positive result, consult your GP, put your jammers on for the next 36 weeks (or there abouts) and don't even attempt to get dressed properly"

Kay, I am on page 6 of the What's your MN name discussion!

Diege, I don't do MySpace, never really 'got' it. Come over to FB, then we can all play Scrabulous together [geek]

OK, what did he say?? LOL

I am taking pregnacare, and I don't like Dairy Milk fussy cow. So if I am taking pregnacare, do I still need to take the calcium? Anything to lower the chances of PE again suits me!!

What did you say to DH, I am no laydee on MN at least anyway

I have just realised I am still in my PJs

precise phrase 'he' used I should say..

Calcium is fine Nat when ttc and also pregnancy (think it's linked to lower incidence of pre-eclamsia too), although seem to remember making sure you get enough magnesium if taking supplements in pregnancy as it interferes with magnesium absorbsion (so pregnancare or the like would do the trick). Myabe good old Dairy Milk?? It's got a glass and a half of the good stuff in it .
Teuch, think that stuck on bits contraption was the same we got - what a waste of time!!
Not on facebook moos, but am on Myspace. Maybe I'll try and get into it, everyone else I know is on it!!
Must share a funny with you (a bit rude...). Ok so I have your attention now.... Was loading dishwasher last night and saw empty dish from cauliflower cheese..''urghh', I say to dh, that reminds me of baby batter'...'What??' say dh (so I explain, to which he says he though baby batter related to, ahem, fanjos...now how awful is that!!! [disgusted of Warrington] I won't repeat the precise phrase I used, as you truly are laydees here...

Kay, I am with you, I really can not stand the thought of picking up a glass of milk and drinking it, before yesterday I don't ever ever ever drinking milk on it's own. But now if I had a glass of wine, or a glass of milk infront of me, I would drink the milk first It is horrible, makes all our mouth feel all gummy and bleurgh, DH said I had milk breath last night, don't think he was very impressed.....

So if the suppliments are OK, I suppose I will have to get some.

Is there anything in milk that your body can crave? Or how do I find out if it is actually calcium I am after?

Teuch, there is no point in me saying stop worrying, because you are obviously going to, but try not to stress over it, that won't do you are the baby any good, just try to think positivly, and take it easy.

Moos, fingers crossed for a quick recovery for DD, I am on FB, but have no idea how to do it, I only have 2 friends on there, one of which is an MNer who went into labour and wanted to be able to tell people what had happened, and the other is my sister who suddenly asked me to join out of the blue last week, I wouldn't mind but it is sister no 1 from a while back who I really don't get on with, I feel used, she added me to just boost her numbers LOLOLOL

Yes

Kay, have you joined the mumsnet group?

I don't like drinking milk neat, but I did crave it when pg with DD1 with hyperemesis. I can clearly remember running up the stairs with my hand over my mouth and pink milk seeping through my fingers

I am on FB too!

I hate milk!!! Urgh. Cant drink it on its own so I take the Boots Calcium tablets.

DD1 has lots of white cells in her wee but no blood which is good, we've been given some ABs so hopefully she'll be better soon

Diege, hope your DD is feeling better soon, DD1 often has the opposite problem (QUICK, TOILET QUICK!!).

Nat I think it is sometimes recommended to take extra calcium when pg, I think you can buy them off the shelf.

So, is anyone else on FB or is it just Sorky, Tink and me?

for small children with ailments. DS had a mild irritated UT once and they gave me some contraption that I was meant to tape to his bits for a sample...yeah right!! I went for sugary coke (shoot me now) and plenty of other fluids, which is what I was recommended years ago for persistent cystitis, and that worked a treat

I just tried to dip a choccy biccy in my lemon flavoured green tea...

Just noticed that the rain has started, and I have a ton of washing on the line . It is so windy here it usually dries again very quickly, but might not be a shower...

I feel so much better thanthe last few days that I am really a bit . especially when there have been quite a few +ves then periods on other threads

Diege, would love a long term excuse something along the lines of "I don't like her" would do me!! Hope your DD get's a bit of relief soon. DS1 goes through spouts of it, it isn't nice for them at all.

Kay I had a 'craving' for jaffa cakes with DS2, the is a number of the side of the box for Jaffaholics

OK question time, does anyone know how you can find out if you are getting enough calcium? I am having a (very un-pregnancy related) craving of my own for milk, but I can't stand it, though have managed to sink over 5 pints now since yesterday, can you take calcium suppliments while TTC'ing?

No problem. Think he's in France at the moment, so may account for him being away from his PC. Will get there in the end, don;t worry!!
Mmm, jaffa cakes sound GOOD. I had a thing for hot chocolate and thick cut ready salted crisps...really helped when the hyperemesis was coming to an end and just had 'normal' ms!
Well dd has gone into her 'corner', lots of wind, but no 'movement' as yet!!

Thanks Diege. I'd forgotten about it until Tuesday when DH said about it.

I am feeling sick this morning. DH is in the bath so I really hope I won't be sick. DH is one of those people who 9 times out of 10 will be sick if he sees someone be sick. I have a real craving for jaffa cakes and hot chocolate, but not together.

Hello!! Back from the chemists with some califig for dd3. She is sat in front of a Barbie video (current obsession) eating a packet of dried apricots and has had some califig. So now I'm awaiting the results!! V.exciting in a sad sort of way .
Great pics Kay!!! So glad you had a good time - and love the ones of you and dh with the teddies I will e-mail bleedin' Kieran again as I am on a mission to get you a signed copy of his new book - was hoping to get it in time for your birthday..men eh!
Nat, I would say that a bad back is more than enough to get out of a MIL visit It's funny, I always have the threat of a dreaded visit every weekend or so, and try my best to come up with a convincing excuse .
Bloomin' eck Moos, day 44!! How do you 'feel' in yourself?? Hope drs can help with dds wee-ing problem...it's so hard when they're little.Remember with dd1 having to try and get a urine sample in a little pot stuck on to the insdie of the nappy when she was tiny - of course it went everywhere BUT the pot!
Thanks again girls for all your support,it is really really appreciated. I've had a few nice e-mails of support about it from others (god, daren't say too much!!) so feeling much better. At least my loss of appetite is helping with the weight loss plans!!

Morning ladies, CD44 here and still no signs of anything. I have to take DD1 to the Dr this morning as she's had 4 weeing accidents in the last 5 days which is very unlike her so I think she may have a slight infection

Nice to have you back Kay, glad the ms hasn't got you!

Diege - eek about the drama last night, what strange 'ladies'!

Squacky - enjoy your OV!

Yeah he slept all night. We were expecting him not to sleep but he was fine.

LOL Bless him.

Did he sleep OK last night? When ever we go anywhere with the boys, you can almost garentee they won't sleep properly when we get back.

He was more interested in the trains. Mum came and picked us up from the station and he kept pointing at the trains. But once we got out of station he paid more attention to us. He then ate my birthday card from my brother.

My mum took him to a farm and he loved it.

Awww, well I am glad you had a good time.

What was DS like when you picked him up?
