Waiting to TTC part 2!

Morning ladies! Sorry I've been pretty much AWOL for the past three days. The move is now complete - albeit we still have bags and boxes stacked everywhere, and we have ruthlessly thrown away quite a lot of things we probably need lol!

Bebe I'm so pleased to hear that the baby is doing well. Frightening stuff, isn't it. I'm also pleased to hear that your DH is coming round to the idea of a DC2 more and more. You still have a few months to work on him as well, so no worries!

Hairy I hope it stops soon - you must feel like you're in a horrible limbo. Sending you hugs x Amused by Pipoca drinking wine out of a tankard! Very ladylike!

Pipoca you are SO nearly there! Doctors tomorrow is a big day. You will graduate from this thread with nothing less than honours! Can't imagine ever getting to that point myself but obviously it will happen in the end.

cheers Pipocoa bebe thanks

both: a very good friend of mine dramatically changed her diet for the better just before IVF and it really helped (and she looked AMAZING from all that healthy food!)

It is SO hard to lose weight so well done bebe that's fantastic going!!!

No alcohol either? Bummer. Hope you feel better soon and can start planning for ttc! Saw you thread about diet, looked v interesting.
have made an appt at the doctor for tues to get folic acid.

Quodlibet and Piocoa thanks.

The injection can cause bleeding and the hospital said yesterday the pain and bleeding is probably it working. I bleeding well hope so LOL!

nom nom on the chocolate! slurp on the virtual wine cos I can't have any real alcohol at the moment!

So sorry to hear that hairy that's a long time, is it still heavy? Did you have the injection, is that supposed to stop the bleeding or just to ensure the process completes? I wonder, did they give you a timeframe for how long you might bleed for?
I'm really sorry, it must be distressing and frustrating and upsetting. Life is shit sometimes.

Oh blimey hairy, it must really be wearing you down. I hope you're taking really good care of yourself.

Just wondering what the heck I will do about TTC if my bleading carries on like this? 18 days so far, am hoping it stops sometime in the next three months

I know what you mean Soppysue I am suddenly feeling uncontrollably broody!
I can see the temptation to jack the pills in immediately but I think you might as well finish the pack. How long are you going to use other methods before you ttc?

Broodiness is doing my head in today. I feel like shouting I want a babeeeeee! from the rooftops . Then I think about the practicalities and my blood runs cold a little.

Amanda hope you're really enjoying your new flat! When 's your sister's wedding , is it next week?

Hope your nephew goes from strength to strength bebe

Still working on the middle eastern translation, so had better go. Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

that is good news about the baby BEBE..

It would make sense to finish my pack of pills first b4 stopping, it is only 2 days now anyway...it's just me being my impatient self ..as usual!! I am going to drive myself potty I think in the next 12 months or so whilst waiting GRRRRR!!!!

Anyone else having dreams about pregnncy? ..Last night it was me doing POAS with a clearblue digital thinggy...it said BFP 2-3 WEEKS!!! ..LOL The night before it was all of my friends announcing thier BFP's ...
I am going to drive myself insane at this rate.

Ah well, have a lovely Sunday everyone.

Hi everyone, ...Hope everyone is well today, and enjoying the suuuunnnsssshhhiiineeeee .
BEBE... I am glad to hear that the baby is doing ok, fingers crossed he will continue to do so.
I want to stop taking my pill soon, do I need to finish the packet (only 3 days left anyway) ? I have no idea!!! ...Even though it is going to be at LEAST a year b4 we TTC I want to give my body time to get itself straight and I have been on the pill for 14 years ... I think condoms are the way forward for us for the next year or so..
Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday evening ...

Sounds like a good weight bebe DS was exactly 4 weeks early and only weighed 4lb 12!
I sooo know what you mean AC about the filth. i was so ashamed when we moved, we looked like we'd been living in filth when all the furniture had gone!

feeling brooooooooooooody today. Honestly, I think I need sectioning sometimes, I'm so up and down about ttc. Sometimes I really want to crack on with it (so to speak) and others the idea of it terrifies me.

Must go, working on a translation all about middle eastern geopolitics...must. turn. off. MN.

Glad to hear it's good signs with the baby, bebe. Sending you all good thoughts! It must have been a really traumatic day for you all yesterday.

AC hope the move goes smoothly - how exiting! That hidden filth thing is horrifying isn't it?! Your DH's job announcement on top of moving stress must have seemed like a bit much all at once? Maybe he's trying to get all his ducks in a row and major changes out the way before you TTC? Hope it all calms down for you - keep us posted.

Good news Bebe. No time to chat I'm afraid cause the house move is in full swing! The new place is lovely. With all the furniture gone the old place is FILTHY!!!

Hope all well with your SIL baby, bebe

Wave to all of you just popping in to say Hi!

Hope all is OK with the baby bebjones.

xx

Oh gosh. I'll be thinking of you - let us know asap how they are doing.

Hi Bebe. So when is she having it? Were they able to say anything else about it's development or give a prognosis? What a dreadful time. No wonder you've been busy!

Good news about breastfeeding reducing the symptoms! Great to have another good reason to TTC at the end of this course of meds.

Re contraception I think condoms probably are the way to go - that way I can put DH in charge of contraception when if he starts dragging his feet!

When he told me he'd quit his job, I replied that I had quit the pill(!) so I suppose I may as well go ahead and do it!

Oh hell we went out to dinner last night - me knackered after a full day at the firm's annual seminar - and DH told me he has pretty much handed his notice in at work. Apparently he's been feeling "unfulfilled".

I suppose if he was ever going to do this, it's better that it's now, rather than down the line when we have a mortgage and DC - but it's not exactly the best news I've ever heard. I'm pretty sure he'll find another job, but still, I could do without the stress of it all. Moving house tomorrow as well - possibly in with DMIL as we still haven't heard from the bloody letting agent!

Pipoca it's a long ruby coloured maxi dress stlye in chiffon. It's really lovely. Can't believe it's next weekend, proving that things do come round eventually if you wait long enough.

Welcome SoppySue! Are you going to get to wear a nice bridesmaid's dress? And what is your bridesmaid's dress like AC? Hope you have a lovely day, I luuurve weddings! Here in Spain it's ALWAYS a free bar, so you get wasted for free too. Not so much once you've got DC though.
Hmm see what you mean AC about it might be even more frustrating off the pill, do you think it might be too tempting to get carried away and take a chance? The advantage of coming off the pill would be to be able to track your cycles, but then I suppose you could do that after the summer anyway. As I understand it your body is immediately fertile once you stop the pill, so you'd have to choose something that suited you well, if you didn't want any accidents. I was on the pill for years and then got fed up with hormonal contraception and we used condoms for years and never had any accidents.
I'm down to 2 more cycles now, going to have my period in June (due on next week) and then wait til after my period in July and hopefully get pregnant anytime after that. I suppose I should get some folic acid?
