The miracle of speedy labours (No 1 Babies Detective Agency Part 7)

Hi Scorpio - its difficult isn't it. Hope Millie is well

I have my period back after mc now, but im a little confused about ttc still/again.

Ds started school in September (gone private, he's in nursery, but stays for full school days now). He's settled in OK (and we've just got his first report ) although I think that he keeps his very experienced teacher on her toes due to general high spiritedness, general boundary pushing, and bundle of energy. He's currently eating for Britain and growing in proportion. I think he must have hollow legs - I don't know where else he puts it. He's 4 next month - where does the time go?!

Fingers crossed for the L&D - lets hope that it is sucessful - sorry to hear about the ectopic - the positives are that you know its possible - and its always meant to be easier once you have conceived...

Hi Nomore! How's it going?

Hello all, voice from the past

Sorry I've not been around for congratulations, fingers crossed etc.

Scorpio. Know exactly what you mean. I think that we're probably not ttc anymore. 1/4 isn't great odds and there was too much medical intervention and general unhealthyness and angst with the 3/4 not to put myself through it again. At least, I think that's what dh thinks - which makes it very difficult to ttc doesn't it!

Still can't persuade myself to get rid of the buggy, cots and baby clothes though. Will have to do that at some stage - I mean, ds is 4 next month (where does the time go?) and we've still got all of his outgrown clothes in the loft.

Gilly - fingers crossed. I got so close to it but avoided it twice by the skin of my teeth - its amazing what we'll do to ourselves to get a child isn't it.

Bags of fairy dust to everyone that needs it............

sybil thats really interesting what you say about stopping ttc....i kinda feel like that now, but not really sure why, even though i desperately wanted my fourth bean. Strange!

DH & I have been painting and we had a gloss fight, and now DH has said it wont come off, and i have a glossed bum

Nomore I have really missed you guys! I was wondering how you were doing after your ep and am amazed at how well you seem to doing. Fingers crossed that your IVF comes around quickly

Gilly - I have total respect for anyone who injects themself with such positivity, well done. I have to confess though that your description of the pin/butter slightly triggered my gag reflex . In my defence though I have never been particularly good with needles.

OK what a numpty an I!!!! We have had another thread all this time and I completely missed it. I can't believe I have been watching the old thread and feeling really sad that we aren't all chatting any more and we were - just without me

Scorpio I therefore had no idea about your mc and I am so sorry. I hope that you are feeling better but second what others have said that it will take some getting over. I don't know if you remember but I had a mc before Jamie and I was really devestated. I stopped ttc to 6 months afterwards because I was unsure of whether I was really ready for that baby (even though I had been sure before hand) so I totally aware of where you are coming from now. Obviously I got over that as otherwise there would not be the gorgeous Jamie, but I think it is a natural part of the mc grieving process. It does pass with time.

Hobnobs and Ready - time is really flying, can't wait for the new arrivals!

Puree - hello fellow June 08-er!

Right, am off to read everyone's news more carefully and will come back. After hitting myself on the forehead a few times more...

I'm ok, a little upset last night but fine today, its odd. Period due soon you see and i guess its a weird time.

Sybil posted on the other thread - Jamie is 9 months already

waves back

How are you doing scorpio?

Nomore/Gilly - any cycle news?

Ready - how's the pregnancy hormones treating you?

(((hugs))) for Scorpio

wave to toomuch and gilly and nomore- it's a Tuesday, I think we need it!!

hey scorp - so sorry to hear about your wobble.. i guess you have plenty of time to make a decision and if you're not ready to use contraception you can always just see what happens and not make a decision anyway..

nomore - thanks for welcoming me back

babytoomuch is in his bouncer and giggling so thought i'd quickly log on and say hi!

i think i see a dc4 in my life alot more than i don't, i think im just scared. I know im not ready to use contraception iyswim...will chat with DH later if he has got over himself yet LOL. Men are ridiculous aren't they!

I guess I am. I don't think DH has been affected the same way, you see, and keeps saying 'oh it will be fine', when he can't say that anymore.

Think i will chat to him later.

thankyou nomore I know i can train whilst pg & afterwards, that part is fine, i think maybe im thinking of an excuse kind of? Have tried talkign to DH but he is tired at the mo and wasnt very approachable y'day.

I know if i said to him about not having one he would feel fine and i would worry he would 'ban' it if i did want one.....oh i don't know!

I think im having some sort of life change thing at mo and the mc has kinda caused it.

I'm having a wobble here.....I'm starting up thai boxing (ladies night + one other night), going to re-train as a nursery nurse (Sept start) and i just wonder if I'm/we are ok as we are......i don't know. i think i want another but im so sceptical of it happening and then just think i will lose it nayway its easier to solve that heartache by finding a life iyswim.

I can do the things above with a dc4, i know i can, i guess its just something i never see happeneing - actually holding that slimy blue bundle seems a million lifetimes away now

Anyone help me????

Hi again toomuch, glad your baby is keeping you busy! I'm doing ok, i guess, thankyou. physically fine anyway

Seem to have alot going on here all of a sudden, DH is off to Thailand in 3 weeks for 2.4 weeks, eeeek

Waves to nomore, hope youre ok my lovely?
