Ok Ladies... new thread, since the old one was getting too long and dragging my computer (and Kat's) down with it!

MrsD - cant believe you are 30 weeks already! So you found that cutting out the lactose helps? It will be almost a week for me and I have noticed some improvement, but not a lot. Of course, he is still getting a milk-based formula supplement to the BFing. I am going to switch to a soy formula and see if it makes a difference as well. Until then... God give me strength!!! LOL

How old are your girls loopy?
I would be fine to have another girl - I don't actually know what I'd do with a boy!

Congrats Pink and button and welcome girlsyearaparrt!

Loopy, how do you feel about girl 4? I know she will obviously be adored just as much as a DS would have been for you both, but I can imagine as a mum of 3 girls that you might be hoping for a bit of variety. Although lovely, you will be like Little Women!

Can I join?
Came off the mini pill end of October to ttc #4

Have 3 dds who are 3.2,2.2 and 4 mo.
This will be the last baby!

We were originally going to wait until dd3 was 1 then I thought I was pg but it was negative and Dh was really disappointed so we had a re think.

Have fallen pg first try with the first two and after 3 months with the third..

Sorry didn't read all the thread- too many pages!
Congrats button

buttonmoon78 · 27/11/2010 09:07

Bleurgh. I've never really had ms before but I feel so sick at the mo. No actual vomming (thankfully) but I feel like I might a lot!

Wonder what it means? Can't mean anything to do with the sex as I've got a mix already.

Yuk yuk.

pinkclouds · 24/11/2010 22:16

That's such good news Button Glad to hear your feeling better.

buttonmoon78 · 24/11/2010 22:01

Ok, things looking up here. Am now properly excited though trying to remember not to get too excited as it's very early days.

Job news looking up - there's a couple of things possibly in the pipeline so I'm hoping for some good news to make Christmas jolly!

buttonmoon78 · 22/11/2010 14:44

Thanks guys - just popping in. Will update properly later.

CBD a definite +ve this morning, 1-2 weeks since conception so everything checks out.

pinkclouds · 22/11/2010 13:40

Grin Grin After promising myself no POAS I couldn't find my FR this morning. Then waited till late morning and used OPK (I know naughty) This was a positive. [Grin]

DH came back for lunch and found FR and straight away, no doubts BFP Grin. Can't believe it Grin Grin Grin

hattyyellow · 22/11/2010 10:42

Button congrats! But so sorry to hear about DH's job :(

How easy is it in his field to get another position?

When is your EDD?

Pink - everything crossed for you!

Loopy, so sorry you are still feeling sick! You poor thing, but glad it's going okay and hope you are getting some rest.

Waving to all as I am rushing off as have telephone interviews with some recruitment agencies this morning. My maternity contract I was due to stay working on until March next year ground to a halt a few weeks ago - as the woman on maternity leave decided to come back early. Which was a bit of a shock as they'd guaranteed me the work until March! But I think she is under financial pressure at home so is coming back earlier than she would have liked, she only had her DS at the end of August.

So our ttcing has definitely been on hold as we really need both incomes at the moment - DH has his biggest contract with the local council and who knows what will happen there with all the cutbacks. So I am thinking of you all but can't bring ourselves to ttc with all this massive financial uncertainty :(

Button I can imagine a little of how you must be feeling with DH's job :(

On a lighter note, DD3 had decided to start potty training herself at nearly 2 - am hoping she is a lot quicker than the twins who were nearly 3!

pinkclouds · 21/11/2010 23:26

button this time last year my DH lost job. I thought my world had ended couldn't think, felt sick. It was one of the hardest times in both our lives. But a year on we are in a much happier and calmer place. I know it seems like the end of the world and nothing I say will make it any better, but you both will get through this and come out the other side.

It's so hard but you need to hold on to the good things.

buttonmoon78 · 21/11/2010 22:04

Faint BFP.

Will test again tomorrow morning but gutted. DH just lost his job.

I so wish I wasn't pg. You can never get those lovely finding out moments back again.

Sad
pinkclouds · 21/11/2010 13:13

loopy GrinGrin

Ok I am currently trying to stay away from POAS. Im 10dpo (I think)cd31. This is when AF arrived last month.

Keep running to the loo to check but so far no spotting or sign of anything. I have sore nips (well in my head I do Grin ) Nothing else!! Going to hold out till Thursday, that way I have left plenty of time for AF to show up.

I do have a first response in the draw, but would kick myself if I used that only for AF to show up this afternoon or tomorrow.

Hmmmm WAIT WAIT WAIT.

loopy I always feel sick until a week after I feel some movement. Hope your feeling better soon.

I'm fine feel very premenstrual this morning, and crampy. I have been reading some other threads and I think my Luteal Phase may be very short atm. I am sure this is just coming off the pill so will see what happens this month.

Should stop reading other threads maybe. I think it makes me more paranoid. Wouldn't you think after having 3dc I would be relaxed enough just let things take there course Hmm.

Well that's me in the 2ww. Oh they joy hours of staring out the window trying not to think about it.

Was talking to mum today who seemed really excited at the prospect of having a newborn to cuddle again.

Well fingers crossed ladies Wink

pinkclouds · 10/11/2010 18:42

Shock just POAS randomly to see what was going on as a felt totally lost in my cycle. I have +opk.Grin

How long is this likely to last. Slightly gutted cause last night was the only night in a week we haven't been SWI. Is it worth it tonight or will the egg be gone now Confused

Just to add i still haven't had any EWCM ConfusedConfused

Flying in, baby on lap, typing with one hand (left too lol). bb tomorrow to update and read replies. x

buttonmoon78 · 09/11/2010 12:57

Hi all!

Been swi a lot but DH now away until Thursday so I think that's my lot for this cycle!

Unfortunately, as I don't think I've OV'd just yet, I also think it'll be a longer 2ww than normal Sad

Pinkclouds - personally I'd carry on. I thought it was game over last cycle but turned into a 36 day cycle with OVing a week later than I expected! You never know and you'd kick yourself if it happened a few days after you'd given up! Go on, make DH's week! Wink

pinkclouds · 09/11/2010 12:03

Right I'm getting slightly frustratedSad.
By my calculations I should have either ov'd or be in my fertile time. Have been SWI every night since Thursday!!! However no sign of ovulation. No EWCMAngry.

I have had some watery CM (TMI). Do we think it's worth keeping SWI or should I give DH a restGrin.

By now I think I should be in the 2ww but who knowConfused
