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!

Hi starlight oh by all means join us you are very welcome. Waiting to ttc due to dithering is still bona fide waiting - and anyway we have recently diversified, pretty much anything goes! I expect you've seen sone of the rest of the thread, so you'll know that some of us are actively trying, some are erm accidentally trying, some are upduffed as our BESH neighbours would say.

So we have yet another DH who won't talk about it on our hands, eh? So does he just grunt when you mention ttc and change the subject or what?

Wrote a longish catch up post last night & the internet crashed when I tried to post it. Can't remember what I said now!

Hooray for on board/supportive OHs
Boooo for ACs crappy Persona
for 'broken' contraception!!

Welcome Starlight! :)

Weather here is horrid so we aren't really doing much, got asked if I was under 25 by a little old lady at the gate at a NT place ysterday...I was driving, & had my toddler & my mum with me I know I'm not that far past 25, but was still odd to be asked! :o

Should feel so 'real' now I've stopped my jabs, but don't think it's going to sink in properly until Friday when I don't have to do one!

hey all

welcome starlight

well its official u shudnt watch xfactor when pregnant and hormonal lol

hope everyones well

bebe- thats poo that weather is rubbish, its always nice to be asked if your over a certain age :)

great news that a few people OH's r jumping onbard, and as for broken contraception lol, well guess we will all wait impatiently to see wot happens :)

morning All!
It sounds like some nice weekends were had by all on here. I had a very relaxed one and tried to get over this damn cold (which is still lingering, I blame the BFH for guilting me into coming into work when i was ill)

Quod ? phew that AF arrived (albeit a little late). I remember the feeling when mine was late and I think it really makes you think long and hard about if you are ready or not. Maybe it?s mother nature?s way of keeping the broodiness in check?!?!?

Bebe ? Hurrah that the last job is out of the way but it sucks that it was so painful. Hope that you?re having a lovely holiday with DD and hopefully DH will be joining you soon and have a chance to relax and put his work to one side for a few days.

100years ?

Hi ladies,
Can I join you? Have just caught up with your thread and think I've found my virtual home if you'll have me?!
Think I'll be playing the waiting game until well into next year though, as DH in no hurry to try for our first and still enough of a child himself to be invited round his friend's on Saturday to 'play' (computer games.
PS. Blueberry pancakes. 'Mazing. Maybe some crispy bacon on the side?

Welcome Gobolino! :o

JS - Blueberry pancakes are my favourite breakfast 'treat' YUM!

oooooh - good call Gobolino - a nice bit of crispy bacon with the pancakes would be fab!!

at your DH going around to his friend's to play - bless them!!!

Welcome Gobolino!

Hello everyone!Hi new ladies!
Well no snuggles last night as had big row with dh. Nothing serious just me annoyed at him watching tv when I'd made nice dinner, him going on and on about what an aful area I'm going to be working in (I'm a family support worker on a fip project so working in a shit area of the town I live in) then me ranting that the ex-council house,child of a single pregnant woman should come own from his ivory tower
then he starte whinging that his back hurt (we currently have no sofa's as we are having our new ones delivered tommorow)
so bit of a shit night but much apologising and all fine now.
Woke up toay (day 17 which is the longest I have managed without spotting since resumed periods) feeling heavy and cramping but no period. think means its on its way though :(

starlight- u sound like me altho i am pg i am not looking forward to the rest of pregnancy or birth, or the whole baby stage agen just really want 2 kids with small age gap that can play together DD is 17 months now and i think its a really nice stage, will be willing the next one to get past 12 months lol, dont know y im just not a baby baby person but love toddlers, and kids

Amummy- boo to argueing me and DP have had a few of those lately but atleast its all sorted and youve made up now :)

Starlight I think you need to schedule a meeting with him. Get him to agree to a time to sit down at the table and discuss it. It sounds mad I know!

No I don't much fancy the pg and baby stages either, although I may of course feel different if -it ever-- when it happens.

Starlight - I'm another one with a DH who constantly says 'we need to talk about it' I always think, well what are we doing now?!

I hated being pregnant 1st time round, but really missed it afterwards. I was so sick though that I think that's what put me off at the time. Can't really remember it now...Thank you Mother Nature! :o

I quite enjoyed DD being a baby, finding toddlerhood much harder, but rewarding!

Weather is not set to improve here this week, really frustrating coz means there isn't alot we can do, especially with DD in tow! :(

Next year will be the last year we can come as DD will start school the following year. Maybe I might be PG next time Had a dream the other night that I went home with a baby...a la Sam Cameron! :o

Hi all,

Just checking in.

Feeling pretty poorly today, had to come home from work with another migraine, although it's the first time in a long time that I've left work early. Had a few hours in bed, had some food and will shortly be heading back to bed.

Had a good weekend, did a 10K race, ran the whole way so I was pleased with that.

I'm feeling a bit more settled today about the wait for TTC, although yes I know it's potentially only 5 weeks away so maybe that has something to do with it. Planning a trip to the docs soon and then I will start sticking holes in the condoms I reckon though I will be back to being impatient in about a day, this comes and goes quite frequently.

My OH saw me posting on here the other day, he's now asking lots of questions about what we get up to and what MN is all about. I told him it's nice to talk to others who are in the same boat as me, and it's helped me realise I'm not a freak as I thought I was the only one who got upset/hormonal/impatient etc etc I think it's helping me with my broodiness, I have an outlet for it.

A good friend had a baby last week, we're going to visit soon, I will just sit there and coo over the baby!!

Now do I buy OPKs to get an idea of my cycle or do I leave it till we are actually trying, or do we have a few months of trying then if nothing has happened get them then????? I'd quite like to have a month or two of shagging like rabbits :o but I know how much I would like to have a BFP, oh help what am I going to be like next month!!!

weldone on your 10k run 100 years

and very exciting that TTC time is coming round so soon. I vote to get some cheap ebay OPK's, i have some and they are fab...

not TTC until dec /jan but have been OPK'ing since aug to get an idea of my cycle, plus charting it all on TCOYF website (i highly recommned this) and i have a clear blue fertility monitor when we are actually trying but TBH i now think i can read my entire cycle with tcoyf and OPK's so may not have needed CBFM, but have it now so will use it too.

Bebe this weather is dire isnt it... being in all day with 3 year olds is impossible and its so much nicer when its nice when me make them go outside!!!
Lol about dreaming about babies.

not sure ill be here tomo as we have a parents evening, (joy ) so wont be home from school until V late

Ha you should hear some of the things my DH has to say about MN and everyone on it - they are not flattering! I think but am not certain that he's been reading my posts on here. DH if you are reading this, bugger off!

100years well done on the 10K. Hope you're ok. I expect you've got yourself off to bed now. Jealous of only 5 weeks left to wait! That must be pretty close to the average wait people have for ttc having made the decision - seemingly no time at all! Probably not true but it does seem like it sometimes.

Why don't you just check your cervical fluid and look out for fertile egg white gloop. Then shag like rabbits as you say.

Woke up this morning and took my temp and got a well high reading. Went into a cold sweat of fear over possibly being pg and had to give myself a talking to. I took to MAP within 24 hours and have had absolutely no symptoms, so There Is No Need To Worry.

waves at Bebe

Hi nannyl sorry we xposted. Do you think there's anything to gain from using the OPKs now? I figured I've wasted spent too much money already on The Baby Project, without also blowing spending some more on sticks to wee on!

Welcome Starlight and Gobolino.

AC not you too with the 'oh god, am I?'! Wouldn't it be nice if there was a switch you could use to turn off thinking about the whole thing?

Loving the train catering btw.

not sure if their is anything to gain other than the fact that i know for sure im interpretting my cycle properly...

i used them when i got EWCM (surprised) on CD11 (and it was -ve) (was nice to be able to check)... was -ve CD 12 but +ve day 13 and day 14, -ve day 15, and i only got my temp rise today, day 16

i really like the fact that i know when it was for future reference!

Terrible isn't it! I don't think about it all the time, but certain things set me off, like doing my temps or going to the loo!

As I say I am quite sure I'm not. Everything is absolutely 100% normal here.

Actually now you've said that nannyl, I could probably have done with them this month. I had four separate lots of EWCM, which was very confusing.

Nothing to do with what we're talking about but while I remember, some of us were talking about Fertility Friend website versus TCOYF website. Well I noticed that TCOYF draws the coverline much higher than Fertility Friend, so beware anyone who, like me, is expecting them to be the same.

oooh...

think ill have to look at fertility friend. not looked but might plug in my data and see what it says, lol!

Can you get TCOYF for your phone? At the moment I record my temps on Fertility Friend and then transfer them onto TCOYF later.

yes i can now (only got my new phone last week so its a novelty but i can!)

normally do it on lappy while eating breakfast though, but used phone when away at the weekend!

How's your dad doing by the way? Any sign of improvement?
