We're taking the train...some now boarding, some delays, some still standing on the platform! TTC 'Waiters' IIT!

[bebejones]

Old thread here

Welcome aboard, make yourselves comfy I have a feeling it's going to be a bumpy ride!

AC my sister got a year off paying her mortgage when OH left her, so they can only say one or the other. Re what the secretaries said about going back to work, that's really shitty, not everyone can either afford to or want to stay at home, some people need to work for various reasons, and it's not for someone else to judge that. But then there are lots of judgemental people around who will judge others for anything and everything.

Good morning everyone!

Good to 'see' you again AC, know what you mean about taking a break. That's awful about the secretaries gossiping - I hope noone will ever judge my choices like that.

bebe hope you start to feel more positive soon! And I'm sure BK isn't that bad for the diet, better than not eating anyway :)

Hi nannyl glad you had a good break and yay for your OH and his race time!

100years how exciting about the august bus! I'm sure I'll be joining you later this week as I'm convinced that AF is about to show up.

Hoping the train is nice and warm, it's bloody freezing here today! First time we've had to scrape ice off the car this morning! Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! Positive of this is that DD looks adorable all wrapped up in her winter coat, boots & hat! :o Put her picture in for the Next baby competition on facebook then afterwards realised it's all a complete farce as people have to vote on there to select the finalists. So it will just go to the ones who can get all their friends to vote. Not really fair IMO. Some really cute kids on there who probably won't end up in the final selection!

AC - we've had time off our mortgage before when I was diagnosed. No harm in asking, the worst they can say is 'no'!

I've got some odd sensations in my right leg & I 'came clean' to DH about it this morning. He was really nice to me & didn't once blame me for stopping my meds. Really really hoping it comes to nothing. Don't want to be ill on my birthday :(

Nannyl - glad you ahd a good time away, well done Mr Nannyl on a fab race time! :)

Squirrel - it might not have been 'diet' food but it was very yummy!

3 years ago today was the start of the cycle in which I conceived DD! :o Funny how weird dates like that stick in your head This obviously gave me an August EDD but scan gave me a July EDD So 'technically' DD was 9 days late, but I think she was always destined to be an August baby! Hope the August bus is a lucky one for you 100 & Squirrel! :o

morning all- just wanted to say i bebe i was going to enter my DD is next baby model comp, untill i realised same thing it is just a popularity contest as to who has the most friends on facebook that will vote for there child, and not who is the cutest etc, think its a bit of a con so not sure ill enter her now

Morning all!!

Hope that everybody is feeling a bit better on the health and happiness front on this fine Monday morning. Did not want to get up when the alarm went off at 6am and am starting to feel as though I am coming down with the bug that's been going around the office. What a pain!!

Still hadn't heard this morning so I called the recruiter and the FD now can't do tomorrow as he'd in London and he wants to see me on Thursday. I can't do Thursday and so have suggested I meet him in London tomorrow. Here's hoping we get somewhere as I am starting to get really hacked off and worried that they are going to say "no" to me after all this.

Huge Monday afternoon calorie free cakes in the dining car for everybody. They have magical powers and make you feel better instantly! I am also working on a new recipe that makes men do as they're told........ not sure I've mastered it yet but will keep trying so we can all persuade our DH / DPs to let us TTC!!!

Well they are going to let me know on 5 November, but it didn't sound promising. The woman I spoke to thought I would have to take a new loan to pay that one off, which sounds expensive.

Oh AC what a pain. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you get something sorted out very soon as being unhappy at work is so miserable :(

Shameless plea for votes for DD :o If you are on facebook, please vote for my girl! I've entered her now, so may as well try (Even though I do disagree with the way it is being run!) Just follow the link! apps.facebook.com/baby_modelcomp/entry/220685

WhyWait - Eeeeeeeeeeek! How exciting, fingers crossed for you, sending positive vibes & 'fairy dust'

AC - That sounds expensive Hopefully it will be good news!

JS - did they come back to you about meeting you in London?

Really worried that this odd feeling in my leg is going to be a relapse. Really scared :( Will feel so guilty if it is!

100years I love how excited you are about ttc, I don't think I will ever match it but it really cheers me up! Scrubs can be pretty emotional to be fair lol.

Bebe you seem to be being dragged through the wars at the moment, if it's not one thing it's another! I second what Squirrel says - get as much rest as you possibly can (appreciate it won't be much with a little monkey in the family!) and let DH look after you. Hope you feel better soon and it's nothing too sinister. All the more reason to crack on with ttc at your DH's first sign of weakness! I have voted for your DD, she is a real little cutey!

Nannyl glad you had a fun holiday. Is it still the September bus for you guys too? No suggestions for a holiday, I don't dare book our next holiday in case I'm pg and too ill to travel, what an optimist eh?! Also I recently heard you can't fly long haul when pg - is that true? Another bloomin reason to wait.

JS I can't believe how much to-ing and fro-ing they are having you do! They must still be interested though, to keep rearranging. I don't know whether to wish you luck with the job, or to hope you don't get it so you can focus all your time and attention on creating the man control cake recipe lol.

Squirrel, Whywait, 100years and anyone else boarding the August bus, good luck to all of you!

Hi all, and thanks for the good luck wishes! I'm secretly hoping AF doesn't show up, but I have PMT symptoms so I'm sure I'll be boarding the next bus.

bebe I voted for your DD, that is a lovely picture of her Fingers crossed your odd feeling is just a twinge - and no need to feel guilty as you had to come off the meds at one point for ttc.

jbells will vote for your dd too if you change your mind

js looking forward to the recipe! DH still sometimes thinks he doesn't have to do what I say

whywait nice to see you again, and good for you with not obsessing!

I had a really positive pg dream last night (as opposed to the standard one where I have just found out I'm pg and want to have a termination, which frankly is disturbing) where I was 9 months pg and was really happy. DH of course was not happy in the dream. He was not happy when I woke him up and told him about the dream either lol.

How is everyone today? x

How exciting about the August bus. I was thinking of boarding it as theoretically if we conceive 1st month of trying we will have a due date of end of August. I think i'd better wait until we start tring though, don't want to get carried away!

Good news is that AF arrived this morning meaning both full cycles i've had since stopping the pill have been exactly 27 days long, so regular thus far :-) Sorry, that is probably TMI but i am chuffed as i was very irregular before i started taking the pill 12 years ago. If things stay like this the fertile period could be during honeymoon ;-)

Have a good day all. I will try to vote for bebejnr at lunch if facebook behaves itself.

AC - I also had very lovely PG dream last night too! :o Nice isn't it?! Also had a very positive birth experience in my dream, wouldn't that be lovely in RL?!

Thank you to those who have voted! Wish I had picked a better picture, but that's what happens when I let DH get involved!

Thinking of changing my MN name to something halloweeny. BOOjones or bebebones, any ideas?!

WYorks - how long now til wedding?

One of my school friends has just announced she is PG, she gets married mid November!

WhyWait, I'm on the August Bus, in fact I started the engine running :o Come join me if this month hasn't worked(hope it has for you)

Bebe, please don't feel guilty. You have said yourself before that the drugs don't always stop a relapse, so you can't really blame all of this on stopping your meds. I shall go vote now.

AC, thanks. Yep I'm definitely a bouncing excited ball of TTC tension :o I keep dreaming I'm pg!

Squirrel, I'm (not so) secretly hoping my AF doesn't show, even though the changes of me getting pg from when we started trying are practically zero, the only way it would have been the 'right time' is if I was on a 36+ day cycle, this is not unheard of for me, but I've been PMTish since day 28 so I am really thinking that it's just a case of waiting for AF to arrive.

WYorks, ace on the two regular cycles :o hooray for honeymoonshagging

Well everyone, I hope you are all OK. I finished my shifts this morning at 3am, and woke pretty early, am waiting on a friend coming round, we've not seen each other for over a year and hadn't spoken for a long time, and when I spoke to her on the phone a few weeks ago to arrange meeting one of the very first questions were 'so when are the babies coming' LOL OH was in the other room and I think he would prefer not to know if I am talking to people about it so I was pretty cagey about it, I may or may not tell her, depending on if I think she will jump up and down(although I actually don't do this kind of thing myself normally) with me.

Plans may have changed for tomorrow, as my niece is unwell and may not be able to come over(or rather my sis may not go out with her) It'll be a shame as we were going to see a show, but I do understand.

The more I get closer to AF and the fact that after it we will be DTD/SWI whatever you want to say, the more I am inclined to not chart etc as I kind of want it to be a natural thing, but I've started temping now, I may stop and just go for OPKs, but I'm also worrying that I may have a +ve OPK and it be a day where I am working a night or OH is away - he has a few over nighters coming up. I suppose we will just have to do it often in the hope that if it does come +ve and we can't do it then there will be swimmers waiting. Oh it's all so complicated. I'm sure people in the middle ages didn't have this stuff, I think I'd like to go back in time.

Hey all
Am very at my complete inability to keep up with the posting...
I keep telling myself to stop obsessing about babies and TTC so maybe this thread isn't helping me....
Anyway, didn't just want to disappear into the wilderness after you all budged up on the train to make room for me.
I'll be back (said with a corny accent) probably in 2011 so at least I'm posting about TTC in the same year we're planning on TTC!!!!

Good luck to all of you in your lives and with your TTC when you stop waiting and start trying

Fluffy - have a lovely Christmas, you are welcome back here anytime! Come and see in the New Year with us while we pass round the pregnancare cananpes & the alcohol free (but still delicious) bubbly!!

100 - Think sperm can last a few days, do lots of pre OV SWI if you think things might be tricky! (This is thought to be good for girl babies & retrospectively is what got me my DD although I didn't know at the time!!)

thanks bebe- the grin shows her cheeky personality shes crazy lol, will try get on and vote for your DD today u shud of put a pic on the nxt of her in the tutu so sweet :)

oh and just to 2nd u on the sperm thing ive heard they live 5 days and apparantly the girl sperm is a lot more durable than the boy sperm, so im hoping i ovulated the day we had sex so its a boy :) i have no idea tho i do feel like im having a boy this time where as last time i was convinced i was having a girl dont know whether this is just wishfull thinking tho

wyorkslass yay for the honeymoon! :) there can't be long left before your wedding now?

bebe I also like bebebones

jbells you also have a very cute DD :)

100years I am finding it hard to know who to talk to about ttc! One friend knows we plan to, but she lives abroad and I don't see her often. Others have assumed and I haven't corrected them. I don't want to broadcast it to everyone, but I'm not sure if/when/who to tell.

By my reckoning I am now 15dpo but have no symptoms at all (either pms or pg). I hate all the waiting!!

Yeah I have heard 5 days, so I'm hoping with lots of love making throughout the month I will get lucky! I think OH is enjoying the no condoms thing [hblush]

No squirrel, you are right I don't want to broadcast it to everyone, and I've not spoken to her for a long time, and possibly the next time we speak would be when(positive thinking) I am pg. I just want to kind of share the excitement of actually TTC.

I should be happy with talking about it here and on other threads and to the couple of other people who know, but I seem to want to tell more and more people, which goes against my not wanting to broadcast it! LOL

thanks squirral, i had all the symptons that i was going to come on my period when i was pregnant was convinced everyday that period was coming, i know other people that had no symptons at all, first time round i had extremly sore boobs but didnt this time, thats the annoying thing the waiting and u never know unless u r chucking up every morning, hope u r PG, im still nervous that when i go for scan there will be no baby in there
