The addictable wagoners have abandoned the waterlogged field back to the safety of the Wagon (with Spa facilities). Thread for those waiting to TTC, those TTC now and other graduates alike!!

Hi Kooky!
Must be v strange going back to work. I take it you're a teacher - what year group?
Good news about you cycle last month so fingers crossed going forwards.
We've missed you too so would be great to hear from you a bit more

Hello Kooky and BB how the devil are you... Moos so good to hear from you, sorry took so long to get back but I had so much to catch up on...

hi kooky i remember you seems we are all coming back "home" as it were!!

Hiya all!

Remember me?? Have been lurking a bit, but can't really remember much. I have now been a working mum for 3 whole weeks. It definitely has it's ups and downs! Some of the boys in my class are right little buggers, but mostly the kids are v sweet.

Luckily my little DD has been a trooper and coped brilliantly with the childminder. Miss her unbelievably though.

I am on CD2 and feeling OK about this as for the 1st time in ages had a "normal" cycle last month. I also feel like I know my cycle so well I knew well in advance that AF was on the way, so it wasn't a surprise.

I have missed you all and hope to be a bit more regular if you know what I mean!

Hi SES, . Fingers crossed for the house sale - think how great it will be when you're moved in!
Getting through the arsenic hour! hopefully speak later! [arghh, why do I want 4??)

Hi all!

LB - glad to hear the 2nd trimester is much better!

Feeble - welcome! You've found a good thread here.

Dal - sorry your're sufferring from sfx from the ADs. Not sure which ones they are but with some the sfx often wear off after the first 2-3 weeks. Hope things improve for you.

BB - good to hear from you!

Emma - Do you know when you should be able to start hearing the hb through the doppler? I'm still nor sure whether to get one...

Diege - I don't think you've sold your soul to the devil. More money for what will be a few hours of extra work that you can do from home sounds v good to me. Congratulations!

NJ - hi! Sounds like you're getting v organised with sorting the rooms out!

As for me, I came home and nibbled on some rich tea biscuits, then slept for 4 hours and am feeling a bit better now.
We STILL haven't exchanged contracts and are meant to be moving next Friday (26th)!!! We have been assured that we will exchange by 11am tomorrow and all is still on for next Friday. Fingers crossed!

Evening everyone. Sorry I have been away for a while but have been so busy at work!! Roll on Maternity time... Hope everyone is well. I am huge but loving it now there is no sickness and I have more energy.... I really am eating everything in site (DP says that he has lost weight because I eat my food so quickly then start picking at his .. I am going to try and catch up with the thread now so will be back soon!!!

Hello everyone

Was going to do a post by post catch up but Dal has done it perfectly

Welcome to Feeble, lots of luck

BB, I didn't email did I? You will just have to get your backside on here a bit more, I can just about keep up on here!

Big hello to Moosma Sounds like the barn is starting to kick off - how exciting! You know me, I can't help with the temps, hope you get it figured out though

Cal, hope DS has been better today?

Have been into town, got the paint for the living room and play room (my poor buggy, I think it nearly had a heart attack under the weight of it all, I could hear it huffing and puffing and swearing at me over every bump!) Don't know when it is actually going to be used though, it's the boys room this weekend, I think DH is on call the weekend after, not sure... At least it is here waiting to be done though!

Hey everyone,

Ses - Sorry you're feeling so ill, you're in the best place at home.

Tink - The clothes sound lovely

Feeble - Welcome! When are you hoping to ttc?

BBeingpatient - Hi, I understand you are one of the originals off this thread. Glad to have yo back

Emma - Wow at you showing already! Hope you enjoy the camping.

Diege - If the extra work is only really 2 to 3 hours then i'm sure it's worth it for the extra money

Moomsa - I'm not sure what to make of your chart either. Have you checked the info on the site where it tells you what can effect your temps to make sure they're all accurate? All I can suggest i'm affraid.

Well, i've not been up to much today. Still suffering with terrible insomnia from the AD's, hope it wears off soon

Hi to everyone i've missed, back later x

hey all thanks for the warm welcome back!
I love being the founder of such a cool thread ha ha thanks for the kudos nat!

Glad everyones well
I will be back now but not a great deal just enough to keep up as before obsessing was doing me no good at all. CAls so sorry to hear of MC i know how htta feels although i was only 8 wks. Tink hope you get your boy i'd like a boy first

As for me I am on wagon until January at least, need to get chrimbo out the way, and then we are going to try and trick my body, as AFs are being led by pill atm and were tricky before, we are gonna miss a pill every other day for a jan, and see what happens, feeling much much happier tho, new job is ace!!

anyway glad your all well talk again soon, gonna aim for once a week so will have plenty to read im sure!! luv to you all xxx

afternoon ladies!! well im going to start winging about my nausea!! i cook i feel sick i lie down i feel sick i sit at work and have a sip of water then grab the waste paper bin thinking im going to be sick (but just heave) and i am so tired! cant ever remember ever feeling like this with ds1 and ds2!

going camping tomoro cant wait its such good fun and the boys get to play with their friends as we go with another family. im just hoping wont be too cold!

noticed all my clothes are getting bit on the tight side and someone at work asked me if i was preg? i stuttered then blurted it out to her she said you wont be able to hide that much longer! im only 7 and half weeks!! still not heard from MW!

my doppler arrived yesterday DH coouldnt wait to try it out i told him that wouldnt be able to dectect anything yet but he said he wanted to try anyway.

whats everyone who is PG got in mind for names?

i have a good feeling this month that all those TTC will have positive results.

welcome feeble when ru going to TTC?

hi everyone
can I join you?
I am waiting to ttc, hoping to have my coil removed this week

Wow clotehs sound great TINKS . I have the fellecy jumper with spots (green/blue) for dd3 and it looks so cute .

Well, I have just sold my soul to the devil. Have been offered more money to do an extra day a week (writing stuff, so can do from home)so I am now technically full time again! I could really do with the money , but do feel a bit 'prostitute like' as I was adament I wouldn't do it until figures were mentioned . I've done similar stuff before though, so will only actually be an extra 2 or 3 hours a week. Tell me I've done good!

ses poor you you take it easy

diege glad that you got back safley preseed etc sound great good luck

Morning! Back safely from Cardiff though crackered after 8 hours of travelling
Great to hear from you MOOSMA Thanks for your good wishes - first proper ttc month now, on cd 5, so gearing up for action! Have ordered some pre-seed off e-bay, with 15 ovulation sticks and 5 pregnancy ones, so feeling positive. Was it CALS who used the pre-seed? Some info/advice would be useful .
SES, sorry you're feeling so sick, although I think going home was the right option (can you imagine the alternative if you were sick??!!). I've been there, and was signed off from work until 13 weeks or so - this following a very public vomiting display on the train which resulted in the service being terminated at Manchester Piccadily. I wasn't popular . So there you go, you're in the right place!
Hello to everyone else - sorry I've not had time to catch up . I'm in work today for a meeting, but can hopefully get back 'in the loop' today and tomorrow

Quiet in here this morning!

I woke up feeling sick again and tried ot go to work but felt like I was going to be sick 2 miles down the road and so turned round and came home. Feel really bad as I was meant to be going to one of my stores that really needed my help today and I'm desperately trying to find someone else that might be able to go and help but no joy so far.
I guess it can't be helped.
I phoned DH and told him and he was quite supportive and told me to go home and that surely it was all v reassuring.
It is and I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, it's just how it is at the moment.

tink - winter clothes for dd sound good. In fact winter clothes makes me feel all snuggly and warm

Moosma - had a quick look at your chart and it does seem a bit confusing... I like "irresponsible GOFing" though

morning

23 weeks today

moosma - your chart looks interesting not sure what to say [hmmm]

i am hoping to finally pick up dds winter clothes that i ordered from next today as it is so cold now

Cal, I'm so sorry to hear about your mc, I hope you get some better luck soon, you too Diege!

Lots of sympathy to the pukers and gaggers too, you poor things! (although I can't help feel just a little bit as you do at least have a good reason for it!)

Any news on GJ's DP situation? The last I heard she was hoping he would give her a definite date for TTC?

All's well with us here, the planning application for the barn went in last week so hopefully it will sail through with no problems (ha!). I'm still not on the pill and still GOFing irresponsbily but I don't seem to be ovulating though. I have a chart here but I still don't really know what's going on!

Good evening!

I have just scoffed my DH's homemade fajitas and they were delicious! I have been gagging all day so so much for disappearing nausea maybe I need to chill out a bit!
Luckily a nice meal is a good cure!

Sorry to hear you are suffering NJ, must be very worrying for you to. I hope it gets better soon

Hi Moosma - nice to see you back - hows things?

Cals- sorry for your DS hope he gets better soon.

I saw my friends two day old baby boy today -so cute!And made me sooooooooooo broody

So Glask - im assuming your pregnancy is pretty public due to the size of your bump? I was just wondering as I seem to be telling more and more people each week and just can't help myself

cal - glad that you have found out what is wrong with ds hope he gets better bless him

dal- i was on anti depressants name of them has completly gone was told to stop then if trying managed to come off them ok before i got pregnant

Cal - thanks, yeah I have been reading the threads on here and have seen there are alternatives. I think i'll see how this one goes and hopefully will be off them in 4 months. If not i'll talk to the doc then about changing. I guess I just want to make sure i'm mentally strong enough to deal with the next one before ttcing iyswim

Sorry ds is still not feeling well. The doc did the same with my ds when he had his viral infection and made him vomit a little, not nice! Hope he feels better soon x

Dal, I was on AD's before I had DS - I took them right through ttc (all one month of it ) and all through pregnancy and beyond too. I had to change AD's once I got pregnant (f*&^ up by the docs as they had said the ones I was taken were OK during pg but then changed their minds but we're here and all OK! I think I posted earlier on the thread that having DS was the best cure - I'd been on AD's for several years prior and have been successfully off them for about a year now. If you don't want to delay ttc (or rather than ttc, just want to have random acts of unprotected GOF's! ) then you could speak to your doc about getting one that's suitable for use during pg perhaps?

I'm clearly not saying you should, just don't want you to feel you have no options. There are also some good threads about AD's / Depression etc on the health board if you haven't already looked. Its a shame its not more widely understood as its so common and so many people would benefit from understanding it better. Hope you feel better soon!

I'm at home AGAIN, not me this time, DS. He slept for three hours at nursery today and they were getting a bit wroried so phoned me and I took him to the drop in centre where he saw a lovely male nurse, who had a 'not so lovely' moment when he went and got a lady and between them pinned DS down and shoved a lollipop stick in his mouth to look at his tonsills . He said it was a viral infection so all OK.

Back to nursery tomorrow and back to work for me!

Hi everyone,

NJ - Sorry you're in pain, must be terrible. Hope it eases soon.

Ses - Sorry you're feeling sick but as the others have said, it's a good sign. Last time, my ms went away at 8 weeks, was bliss

Glask - Wow, what a bump! I had a very small bump when I was pg so yours really does seem big to me!

I think i'm going to have to start my xmas shopping soon. Not because I want to but to spread the cost and get it out of the way so i'm not rushing around at the last minute with ds to look after!

Off to look on the net for ideas!

I've been reading up on my antidepressants, it seems it is recommended to be on them for 4-6 months so i'm hoping i'll be ok after 4 and my ttcing won't be too delayed.

Hi to everyone i've missed, back later x

hi

i did rest and watch home and away o tape 2 nat.
it feels good to get jobs done while i am on my own

Hi Moos and BB, its beginning to feel a bit like a reunion! All we need is LG&T to pop in and Kay to sort out her net connection and we'll be complete! (Oh and half a dozen others, including Popcorn who's abandoned us completely it appears!)

Well, the wagon has been very successful in general terms, most of the original ttc'ers are now well and truly up the duff, with plenty of people hitching very short trips, whilst some of us appear to be hear for the duration! I'm currently waiting for my AF to appear after a mc (3? weeks ago at 11 weeks) and then will be ttc once more.

Kay and NJ are both having boys, and Tink is due a private scan soon to find out what she's cooking as the little acrobat hid at the 20 week scan - she's hoping for a boy too!

We've got quite a lot of 'newly' pregnant people floating about at the moment, with lots of morning sickness

The list is quite up to date at the moment and its been re-arranged slightly, to list the ttc'ers and waiting ttc at the top as the list of preggers people is so long now!

That's about as much as I can remember for now, I'm sure everyone else will do their bit to fill in too!!
