Good things come to those who wait...and wait...and wait!!! All aboard, we're IIT!

[bebejones]

Old thread here

Make yourselves at home everyone. Jake & George are just loading everyone's 'baggage'!

Ooooh AC - Good Luck, you have your very own 2ww! I will cross everything for you!

Feeling a bit sorry for myself today & already dreading having an injection into my hip! :(

Got my flu jab this afternoon so DD is got to ILs to play with her cousin. Hopefully she will be worn out later!

Good luck AC with your work 2WW.

Well I'm going crazy, the symptom spotting has started, I'm going to be unbearable for the next 10 days!!!! LOL But I have stopped taking my temp. For a few reasons, but I think mainly it was making me a bit neurotic over things, and it's not going to help me get pregnant really, I mean knowing my temp doesn't help the swimmers reaching the egg, it just gives an idea of when ov has occurred, and I sleep so irregularly with shifts I think it's not all that accurate.

Feeling a bit up in the air about a few things, stuff is getting on top of me a bit and I'm not sure how to stop it, feel like I need to talk to someone, but I'm pretty sure it will all come out in a real muddle.

bebe, if you can buy babies in Tesco I think I may head there in a few months if the SWI doesn't work!!! LOL, that's great. Sorry you are worrying about your hip jab, can't imagine it will be very nice.

100, i can imagine how you are feeling. I'm symptom spotting now and there's pretty much no chance i am pg at the moment. Although i nearly convinced myself when i felt queasy earlier! Oh yes and i'm sure i'm weeing more than usual and i haven't had usual PMT moodiness or as tender boobs as usual and my tummy has been crampy all week and...

My fingers are crossed for you too.

If something is on your mind you could try writing it down? I find that helps me get things straight in my head.

I don't think there is enough paper to cover my mind issues at the moment!!! LOL. I have done that in the past, and yes it really does help to get those things out. Just got to focus on getting through work tonight and then I have a few days off where I can chill (even if we are away and busy) and sort some thoughts out.

Lol at the work two week wait!

evening all,

took DD swimming for first time today she really enjoyed it wish i had plucked up the courage to take her sooner.

i think im in for an unpleasant nite DP seems to have come in from work with a right shit on and weve already had xwords there goes my idea of a good film and a chinese takeaway

AC- glad your interview went well, fingers crossed for u :)

100years- hope u manage to sort things out, hopefully a few days away will give u time to clear your head, i find it always helps to step away from your everyday life

wyorklass- i think it is impossible not to sympton spot when u know there is even the slightest chance, but u never know the symptons cud be real :)

bebe- how did the injection go i hope it wasnt too painful, did your DD come back all tired out?

JBells - glad your DD enjoyed swimming. My DD loves it but I have been a bad mummy & not taken her in months! (Mainly because I don't have a cossie that fits anymore & the last time we went the lifeguard got an eyeful when I got out )
Sorry you had words with your DP, my DH was in a foul mood yesterday, I have no idea why. Hope you have sorted things now? They just expect you to know don't they, but how can you if they never talk about it!? Plus he was horrid & snappy with DD because of it & that always makes me cross because it's not her fault! Grrrr!

100 - Hopefully some time away will help you clear your head a bit, even if you are busy. Change is as good as a rest so they say!

DD had a great time at ILs & screamed & cried when we left and was a grump all evening coz she was tired! But at least she went straight to bed at 7.30 & is still asleep now! I always complain that I'd like some time to myself but I hated it & found it very odd being in the house on my own yesterday. Really didn't know what to do with myself! God knows what I'll do when she starts preschool!

morning all

bebe- i didnt have a costume that fit either i normally where a bikini but ive put on 2 much weight to fit in it, had to borrow one of a friend that was too big so i looked a bit stupid but never mind lol, decided to let the xwords go with DP last nite and ordered a yummy chinese anyway

took DD the park this morning to feed the ducks and afta swimming yesterday she decided she wanted to swim in the pond and when we wudnt let her had a nice tantrum going to take her swimming nxt weds and make it a weekly occurence if i can or atleast up untill im too big to move lol

hope everyone has a nice wkend

It'll be lovely when ur big (but not very big) will give you a lovely weighless feeling. Always much needed when pregnant! :o

DD always eats the bread that we take for the ducks Thankfully she has never tried to jump in! Don't you just love the toddler tantrums?!

Yay (in a sarcastic voice) more symptoms spotting!!! Weird aches like really really mild period pains, headache and icky feeling. I am officially driving myself crazy.

I've just briefly spoken about one of the things that's been bothering me recently, the reaction I got was different to how I thought - in a good way and I'm now slightly more confused. But hey ho, it's not a small decision and it's one that needs proper and full attention, and if so it may mean a change in where we are at at the moment.

Right going away for the night now :) Catch up tomorrow or monday.

Hugs to all.

Evening all

100 years your wait is very exciting

Not a great weekend here, ok not been that bad except i had to work at school today... on a SATURDAY for open day.
On the + side my new oven has arrived and BIL (electrician) has installed it, so can cook Xmas cake tomorrow

Did an OPK at 2pm and it was -ve (was shocked as its always +ve on a Saturday and sometimes on a Friday too)... anyway did another at 8pm and that was +ve soo am relieved about that!
OH started his daddy to be vitamins last night so thats very exciting.

72 hours until we throw away the condoms

Oh and (i must add this)... my head of kindergarten was talking to some prospectove parents today... explaining how i was maternity cover for anotehr teacher and anotehr teacher was also on ML, and due back in September... anyway, she (accidently) went on the say that "In September I would be in maternity leave but i had to ... she hadnt meant to say it, and corrected herself to "well we dont know that but you never know, she might be!!!"
(I have not told anyone other than my mum and closest friends about our baby plans (oh and mumsnet!)

Also everyone who works in my class in kindergarten gets PG, and last night (on our mummies and teachers social meal) me and OH had to keep our mouths shut when one of the mums warned my OH "to be careful as everyone who teaches in my class leaves pregnant!"

Nannyl - hehe So lucky train & lucky class then....Odds are in your favour

I took my first mum to be tablet last night!!! Eeeeek! It's not actually much of a change coz I've been taking multivitamins & extra folic acid anyway. So essentially I'm taking one tablet instead of 2! (- the vitamin A)

I have to start painting DDs xmas present today. A big wooden dolls' house! Bit nervous! Don't want to cock it up!!

100 - Hope you are having a good time a way, glad the first part of your talk went well! :)

Have a good Sunday everyone! :)

Just been checking FF and it would seem that I am OV on about day 19! Now on a cycle of 28/29+ days that's not so bad...but on ones of 23/24 days that's not long enough post OV is it?! I'm sure one of you clever ladies will know! :)

oh bebe

Im pretty sure you need a luteal phase of at least 10 days to allow an egg to implant...

Though im sure lots of mumsnet people on various threads have been to see their GP about their short luteal phase and GP has told them it doesnt matter

but TCOYF book seems to disagree...

I have a 28 day cycle and ovulate on day 15

Stupid meds seemed to have really messed things up! Guess I'll just have to see what happens if when we TTC!

Trouble is I have no idea when I OV if it's going to be a long cycle or a short one! Tis going to frustrating this time me thinks!

Just another quick one...

Asda are offering a free huggies newborn starter kit if you register with their baby club at the moment (which is free, Tesco one has been good & boots one is also v good). It's available til the end of Dec. I just registered but can't print off this computer so 'lost' my voucher! Grrrr! But thought it might be useful to those expecting & those 'planning'! :)

here

Hope everyone is having a lovely lazy Sunday!

Hiya,

Am back after my night away, shattered, slept badly last night, but had a good night before bed, met one of my OHs friends, then cheered him on at his race then had drinks with some friends in Starbucks. Called in at another friend on the way home.

Still feeling sick. Boobage is worserer. Niggly pains still there. And tired, but that's due to night shifts and a poor nights sleep. Still it's another bloody symptom to add to the list!!! LOL I fear the next week - if I last that long will be a long one! I reckon I'm due AF anytime after next sunday.... which are the 5 days early tests?!?!?! kidding

Nanny, oops to what she said to the prospective parents!

Bebe, maybe your body just needs a little time to let the meds out of the system.

Good luck with the job AC! Glad to hear the interview went well! :)

This will sound really strange but I had a dreamed about you last night bebe! you and your OH met my OH and I for a meal at Alton towers! Why? I have no idea!

What have you been discussing that may change where you are 100years? It sounds very mysterious and I am intrigued! The 2 week wait sounds horrendous, you seem to have plenty of symptoms to think about though! Hehe!

Glad to hear you had a good time swimming jbells, also 4 lb in 12 weeks does not sound like so much!

I am fed up after working this weekend :( but have a day off on Wednesday so will look forward to that....need to do some xmas shopping (sorry to mention it but I have done none. Ooops)

Strawberry - lol I love weird MN dreams! So funny! Rubbish that you had to work the weekend :( I am feeling super smug coz I've pretty much finished Xmas shopping (apart from food & a few final foodie gifts! [smug grin emoticon]

I had something I wanted to tell you guys but now I'm here I can't remember what it was!

Christmas? What's that then? I haven't thought about it at all! But then to be fair i do have other things on my mind...5 days to go

Talking of dreams: On Saturday night i dreamt i did a PG test and thought i was 4 weeks pg. I went to the docs who told me i was 4.5 months pregnant, with Twins! My response was, " i though i was getting a bit fat"! I was quite relieved when i woke up :)

Thanks for link bebe, i'll have a look on my home computer later.

I am the queen of intrigue strawberry!!! It's a whole work/future thing I'm not enjoying the shifts that I'm on and I was pondering other things, but if that were to happen TTC may not happen at the moment, which is what is the biggest priority for us both. Like yourself I have done no Christmas shopping whatsoever!

I dreamt about a war, some weird kind of invasion of this castle which was surrounded by a lot of water, bigger than a moat, very bizarre.

German market tonight with a friend :) She knows we are TTC so I won't have to worry about not drinking or that, but I may have a try of something, but only a little bit. I may buy a few presents tonight, hopefully I will see something I think my family will like.

WYorks I have had weird dreams like that too!!! LOL

I dreamt that I gave birth to a baby girl completely painless and no mess, but the newborn baby projectile vomited everywhere immediately, all over all our stuff.

evening all.

had bit of a random day... didnt start off too good when i got on the scales and have put on 1lb last week completely unfair as i avoided all the cakes and doughnuts in the staffroom completley and even though our class was cooking all week i avoided eating (almost) all the sweets / chocs / biscuits etc,...
(I did have 2 (very small) fairy cake, but i decided they were my pudding, and having been so good and so healthy i dont think i deserved to put on 1lb) Rant over!!!!!

Also my temp didnt rise today, and it always rises on a Monday. I guess as i ALWAYS have a +ve OPK on a sat pm and often on a friday too, but this month didnt get it til sat eveing thats why, but even so, i thought id got back to a clockwork 28 day cycle, but maybe i havent...
which is very annoying as i am TTC from next month, and had it all planned out

Have decided to put it down to the fact that on night 12-13 i forgot to raise my blackout blind and one of my fertility books stresses the importance of sleeping in pitch blackness all the time, except for those middle nights, and i forgot, so perhaps my body is 1 day out because of that?
who knows

No wierd dreams for me though

On a plus side i have now officially ordered (almost) all my Xmas presents. The joys of amazon! Hope to get them soon

We have snow forecast for the end of the week i HATE snow, especially as we live high up, right on the edge of the peak district, so when other areas dont get snow we do, and when people get it "bad" we get it "much worse"

Nothing else to report but good luck to everyone on who is on their 2ww. thinking of you

Nannyl - try not to panic too much. You are putting a lot of stress on yourself. Reeeeelaaaaax!
The 1lb weight gain could be water weight. Try drinking loads you'll wee it out! I always gain around OV & between OV & AF. I seem to only lose weight 2 weeks in 4!

I am very excited about the prospect of snow. But not sure how much we'll get (if any) we did get about 6" in Feb which was super exciting & pretty much snowed us in (quite rural) thank God we only live 600yrds from Tesco! :o I do love snow & am such a big kid!

I have been having weird dreams too! Last night I had a dream that we were expecting a boy & when baby arrived it was actually twin girls! Also had 3 dreams in the last week about vampires!! Not sure what that is about

Have eaten too many of the Crispy cakes that DD & I made earlier & I actually feel a little bit sick! Must be better behaved 2moro, I have worked too hard to shift all this weight this year to let it go up the pooper over Christmas!

Have had to seta reminder on my phone for my M2B vitamins coz I kept forgetting! Ooops!

Hope the PG ladies are ok & that the ones on 2ww are not going too insane!

morning all, hope everyone has a lovely wkend, got my scan today but its not till half one so the day is prob going to go very slowly :(

bebe- i love rice crispy cakes when i make them they will all get eaten in a day, i wud prob have 3 and dp wud eat ten lol, thanks for the link i stupidly afta reading your post applied for the coupon on my netbook that has no printer attached grrrr

nannyl- u really r being to hard on yourself 1lb is nothing i weighed myself the othat day and had put on a 1lb in a day then weighed myself half an hr later and was back to normal oh and as for cycles i have never had reliable cycle and got pg on the pill and had sex twice in 3 wks lol sometimes over analysing it can make it more difficult, hope your feeling better today

100years- glad u had a nice nite awaycud really do with one of those myself

i have also been having lots of strange dreams, i remember bits and pieces but can neva remember too much about them once im awake
