Waiting to TTC part 2!

Hi everyone!

I'm new to MN and have been lurking for a few days! I hope you don't mind me joining in with your thread?

The plan (ha!) at the moment is to come off the pill at the start of October, use other contraception and take folic acid etc for 3 months then start TTC in Jan when back from hols! (Hello nannyl and bebejones- I think I'm possibly going to be TCC around the same time as you two )

Does anyone have any experience of how long it usually takes for cycles to get back to normal after taking cerazette (progesterone only) pill for years?

Thank youuuuuuu!

i too would love a massage

JS on your scale im about a number 6 / 7, but really think its probably not a great idea.

whywait I literally have EVERY conception / pregnancy book avaliable from the library at the moment, (except for the ones i have bought fro myself on ebay!)

(oh and went past my bargain charity shop again and sure enough there is another IMMACULATE mother care own travel system for £5...)

also very of massage whywait I was going to book one whilst DH is on the golf course on Saturday but now thinking that it's a little indulgent for someone who is suppposed to be being careful with her money......

Hahahaa! I know Minipie - I'm never going to actually do it but sometimes it is so damn tempting!!!!I think I will just continue trying to wear him down until he gives in and agrees with me talk him into it!

It's funny when you think about it isn't it.... My body is the one that will go through the actual pregnancy but he is the one determining when we do it. I did explain that by waiting we are doing what he wants and not what I want. If we looked at it and tried to compromise fully then surely we would be trying at xmas 2010?!?!!? Nedless to say.... that didn't go down well!!!

oooh a deep tissue back massage WhyWait

I neeeeed one of those.

have a lovely weekend!

Um, I'm about a 9 on that scale I'm afraid JS.

I mean if you're having lots of chats about TTC in March 2011, and he knows you're super keen, and you get pg now, he's not really going to believe it was an "accident" is he?

and you wouldn't want him going "well I never wanted a baby this early anyway" while you're trying to deal with the sleepless nights. Or thinking he could ignore things you'd agreed as a couple in future, because you ignored your TTC agreement.

sorry, not what you want to hear!

However I am all for you continuing to
twist DH's arm behind his back lean on your DH until he agrees.

Oh girls - this is all so damn exciting (although my enthusiasm and excitement may have been slightly assisted by the 3 glasses of wine at lunch!!)

I also "worked out" when I would have been due had AF not arrived last weekend and it would have been an April baby (which btw would have been my dream!!!) I really want to have a spring baby and so have been chatting to (read as leaning on) DH about this. On a scale of 1-10 how wrong would it be for me to "accidentally" get PG....... (1 being "do it, it's absolutely fine" and 10 being "are you fricking insane woman, put down the wine and grow up!!!you clearly have no morals ")

yup 3 books for 70p

yes i too have sat and worked that out

im just hoping they get a mountian buggy in and sell it for a fiver (they get loads of lovely pushchairs / travel systems) and they are always £5

i wont abandon you all
(and i hope to be on an October 2011 bus)

am very excited as i have just got annabell karmells 1st year planner,
gina fords first year planner and the new gina ford contented baby book, all immaculate condition for a grand total of 70p from my bargain charity shop at the bottom of my road (where almost nothing costs more than 50p!)

i have read all these books a million times before as my bosses etc have had them in their collection, but not actually got a copy for myself.
also i have the original gina ford contented baby but have leant it out and cant remember who too!

so i have some afternoon reading refreshing to do now,

im so over the moon to have got the lost for just 70p!!!!!
(personally i swear by GF and AK!!!!)

Oh no - your poor DH. I can kind of understand why he's not so fond of Bath. Shame for you though as the shopping is amazing and the spa is wonderful!!!

Is it your DD's BDay today?? Big happy birthday to her! Also great news that the last injection is on the 24th Sept - that's really not far away at all!!! I do;t want to see any more speed bumps, just baby bumps - [super excited emoticon]!!!

He hates Bath because of Rugby?!?!?! Did they beat his team??

DH and I are pretty into our rugby and are now both (although DH does still insist on supporting Wasps on the odd occasion) Bath fans!

We are super lucky to live there and I can't wait to escape London permanently and make our home there full time!!!

nannyl TTC #1 - Jan 2011 (but start TTC after xmas)
bebejones TTC #2 Jan 2011 (but technically starting TTC after 24th Dec 2010!
JustShagging TTC #1 - March 2011
minipie TTC #1 May 2011

Does that mean that we could soon be seing a few of you in the September 2011 babies boards!?!?! Promise you won't desert us for the busses though as I am a bit of a sad act and love hearing about people getting PG!!!

minipie TTC #1 May 2011

(well hopefully, still a little DH arm twisting to do)

squirrel we'll probably do kruger plus diving in mozambique - can't wait! botswana sounds amaaazing, good luck with the wedding planning!

quod I know what you mean about children/career timing - we'll be starting a family (assuming all goes to plan) at about the same time that me and DH are both gearing up for big promotions, so not ideal - but there is never going to be a perfect time so think we should just bite the bullet and get on with it.

Had an email this morning to say some friends of ours are expecting a baby in January - I am very pleased for them, but also for me because I suspect the more friends of ours have children the more likely DH is to want to get on with it!

nannyl TTC #1 - Jan 2011 (but start TTC after xmas)

oooh - just so I can get my head around it can we have a little recap of when everybody is planning to TTC?

JustShagging TTC #1 - March 2011

Oh Squirrel - super super exciting on the October TTC front!!! Also very of your Botswana honeymoon - you will have the most amazing time!!!

Quodlibet Don't appologise for wallowing, you really weren't and even if you were, isn;t that the point of these forums? So we can all indulge ourselves and get things that worry us off our chests? So sorry to hear about your grandmother. Amazing how such things have an impact on choices between career and family. It's great to hear that your DH is being so supportive though.

Today is my Friday as DH and I have taken tomorrow off work to go back to Bath and start the job hunting. I'm seeing 4 recruitment agents and he is meeting with a couple of recruitment agents and also some of the directors of two major firms in his industry. Fingers crossed that we will now be on the recruitment agents radar after this!!

I'm feeling very inspired by everybody's healt and fitness kicks. I would jump on the bandwagon and say that I am also cutting out alcohol, junk food, etc etc etc but to be honest I am a bit as my willpower is non existent!!
