Waiting to TTC part 2!

welcome piglet

My books have arrived...

"the fertility diet" pretty much says move to middle of the country side and limit electrical appliances... then eat a strictly organic vegan diet containing lots of things ive never herd of...

it explains why it is awful to have homogonised milk (ie milk from a supermarket) and stuff, (even more so if not organic) and makes mme wonder how i am still alive.
also about how drinking de caff tea / coffee is also awful (due to process involved) you get the picture....

Baby making bible is more my things... am allowed to eat more things (ie fish and meat)

both books clealry state the obviouse... no alchol / cigaretes and illegal drugs, and also both make a big thing about avoiding aspartane.

if you want a book id choose baby making bible over fertility diet, which has basically scared me from eating anything! (except those organic berries that i am growing in my garden!)

Hello Piglet! Bloody DH, eh! You might need some of those abbreviations on here I'm afraid, as some of us have been waiting a very long time and have picked up some of the language of the locals! When did you decide you wanted to ttc?

Bebe that is not good news about you SIL's LO. I hope things are not really bad? It must be a bit weird for you with healthy DD running around while their baby is so poorly, but you shouldn't feel guilty. Also, it might be far from being as bad, but you are not exactly having a walk in the park yourself.

Hi everyone,
OK if I join you?
I've been lurking around the Forum for a few weeks - blimey, some of the other threads are scary! What's with all the abbreviations?!

Some of your messages really ring a bell with me. My DH is definitely a sufferer of FOF, while I would start TTC tomorrow if it was up to me. He says he wants a family, but just isn't ready. Glad to know I'm not the only one in this weird limbo.

Looking forward to chatting to you all, if you'll have me!

Bebe we are going to see the world's only Prodigy tribute band perform live at Littleborough Cricket Club in Lancashire, following which we are camping at Hollingworth Lake!

How was your friend?

Shaking head Men!

I've just gone in there. The first thread title is luxury problem...which car? the next title is how did you/do you feel about your newborn?
And have just spotted the one titled blowjobs ohh, off to be nosey! (Or totally grossed out)

If there was then no doubt I would go on there, sneakily looking to see what DH's secret feelings about the baby are, only to find them all banging about power saws and football.

Actually there were some blokes on my train the other night discussing their experiences of having DC. One had two already, the other's DW was PG with DC2. I was all ears all the way home! Wonder if I can introduce them to DH...

I haven't even told DH about MN, no way I could picture him on DN! There is a talk board for Dads. Haven't looked at it, but saw it in passing.

Oh dear that still doesn't sound too good! No my doctor wants me to get one of those implants in my arm, not an IUD. For some reason she goes on about it every time she sees me, and I always assure her that I am just about to start ttc. This has been going on for two years now lol!

I hope the expert fanjo doctor manages to get it out and you have no more problems.

So there were no surprises at the docs for you Bebe, basically they just told you what you already know? It doesn't sound like they were trying to talk you out of ttc in December, so that's positive. When you say you spent a long time discussing drug/treatment options for after another baby, do you mean you and the doctor, or do you mean you and DH?

Wish our DHs would go on Dadsnet, so we could sneakily read about how they are feeling.

Didn't want to mention it as didn't want to put others off. Went to do my register with the nurse thing on Tues night and there was a Dr in, so she had a go with no luck, and said she thinks it's embedded (ekk!). Now have to go back next Tues for the coil clinic. Apparently the Dr doing it is really experienced and may be able to get the damn thing out. If not then I'll be refered for a sonogram to see whats going on in there. Google even mentioned the ol'dildo cam ! So for now trying not to think about it. At least the discomfort seems to have passed.

AC I'm surprised your Dr wants you to get an IUD as they normally don't like giving them to women who haven't had a child yet (it's a bit easier and less painful with a 'used' fanjo), but then I guess it depends on the Dr, and also the marina IUD is used for treatment of heavy periods.

Hope this isn't all to long and waffly!

The good news is that the 2 moles on my back are absolutely fine.

I saw that as well Biscuits but couldn't reply at the time. Can't talk now either, but hope you're ok.

BBJ I was looking for something else and saw this thread and thought of you. Maybe these lovely ladies will have some ideas as to how to bring your DH around (it is MS you have isn't it?).

Big hugs for you BBJ as it sounds like you need it (sorry haven't got a baby to lend you for hugs).

ahhhh Bebe

It sounds like you had an emotional one yesterday. It's great that you are being so reasonable with your DH. I think i would have had a propper hissy fit by now!!

Nannyl you are going to be our resident expert! I think, even objectively, the whole subject of ttc and the monthly cycle is pretty fascinating. I am glad I started charting, even if it has turned out to be a bit premature!

JS it's tricky trying to time things right in terms of career, isn't it. I got so down in the dumps about my job a little while ago and was looking around for something new, so I can imagine some of the things you must be worrying about. Harder if you're both changing jobs as well.

I'm pretty sure DH isn't feeling guilty! I doubt he's given it a second thought. Still it was a nice dinner.

Bebe is your appointment this Wednesday i.e. tomorrow? Hope it goes well if so. No idea whether you should take DH along though, sorry - mens minds are a mystery to mr!

AC - bless your DH. He's probably feeling awful and trying to make you feel a bit better. If only he knew how easy it could be!!!

Hi hairy - sorry to hear that you're on the wrong side but great positive attitude there and enjoy a month of fun!!!

Am looking for a PA/Secretarial kind of role but there is just nothing about at the moment. So damn frustrating. DH may be leaving his job in Sept for something out of town and so I am going to be a bit stuck if he moves and I don't have anything. There is no way I could cope with him being in our home and be being stuck in London.

I keep on getting the urge to just scream "impregnate me you fool and that will solve the career issues" but somehow I don't think that would go down so well!!!

nannyl - good books for research. I am trying very hard not to buy any yet as I just know DH will completely freak out if he finds me reading books on pregnancy and conception!! Maybe you can share some info with me on here!!!
