Remember ladies - Our time will come, but our bodies have to be ready, and we are all here to support each other.

For those new people please feel free to check out our Stats thread, to see some info about us and leave you details if you want to.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

mumswish - maybe you're feeling yucky because you saw the baby, and although you hope to be pregnant this time next year, there is no guarantee that you will be, thought i would be by now, fingers crossed for this month. Lets hope by this time next year we have all been pregnant and got our babies

soft play was good thanks, spent 2 hours there and had lunch too, the kids loved it, still full of energy though, dont know how they did it. I met up with some other childminders and a lady who works at the local playgroup. It was lovely to have adult company.

Maybe thats why I'm feeling yucky then. I'm so happy for her but maybe underneath it all I'm jealous and scared its not going to take for ages. I'm really worried I'll be on here for years with mc after mc and no luck. I'm scared I'll never get there and the closest I'll get is to hold her baby (ies) and wish. What if thats all that happens? I've not even tried yet and I'm this low what the hell will happen to me if I am still here in a years time.

Sorry to be so depressing when everybody is having such a nice day. I dont think the weather helps to be honest as it's throwing it down by here.

Ahh well. Smiles I spose

mumswish - your time will come, when our bodies are ready to carry another baby then they will get all cosy and let our eggs get comfy. I know its tough to stay positive, esp when you see people so close to you with their own babies. I agree the weather makes a huge difference on my mood too, its miserable here, no rain yet though, don;t send it my way.

slinkstah · 28/09/2005 14:31

having my stillborn has made me want loadsa babies! i feel like having 4 or more! i guess ill change my mind if/when one comes along lol

mumswish · 28/09/2005 14:35

I'm sure you won't slink :0. Thats my problem, when I had my mc I went through a phase of not wanting kids (dont know where that came from) but over the past 6 months I've wanted 1 maybe 2, seeing my mates bb last night makes me want at least 6 :0

slinkstah · 28/09/2005 14:39

well i have 2 already that are 8 and 6 now and relatively easy to look after - i remember when they were babies though it was so hectic! never a moment to yourself and always exhausted, still willing to go through all again. i think ill just carry on til menapause lol - ill have to put a tent up in the garden ;)

mumswish · 28/09/2005 14:43

mumswish · 28/09/2005 15:56

I'll be happy with 1. DB wants 3 but there's not a hope. My family are prone to twins so maybe I can get my 2 in one go. My mum was a twin and her grandad was a twin (they say it misses a gen so mayb I've got the twinthing! hmmmmm not sure what to make of that

Coathanger · 28/09/2005 16:21

Whatever you are blessed with mumswish, you will be happy. I was told I had a big chance of having twins with DS1, and was actually a bit disappointed when I was told it was only 1 - but a gorgeous, beautiful much loved 1!

I would have 20 kids if I had room, I would keep popping them out til menopause! The thought of a 4th doesn't seem like a problem - once you've got 3 another isn't an issue. The only hurdle now is getting DH to say yes to another! I can't wait to have a 4th and have a houseful for the next however many years

mumswish · 28/09/2005 16:30

I thought I would tell you. I checked my pills this afternoon as I was sure that I couldnt have 2 weeks left and my last pill is this friday not next friday.

So do I count my CD's from the first day of this bleed or should I wait for the next bleed considering I'm just going to bleed cos I've come off my pills? I hope I'm not confusing.

mumswish · 28/09/2005 16:31

BTW sorry for the TMI.

Coathanger · 28/09/2005 16:36

Mumswish - if you are not going to TTC for a month or so due to coming of the pill, i would start counting your CDs from the first day of your first proper period. But if you want to start trying as soon as you come off the pill then start counting on the first day you bleed after coming off pill (that will be CD1) Does that make sense?

Coathanger · 28/09/2005 16:37

You might find your AFs are a bit messed up for a while after coming off the pill anyway...

mumswish · 28/09/2005 16:45

ok. DB wants kid around Sept time so we're thinking of giving it a month at least to settle down. Is it worth counting these anyway to get an idea of how many days my cycle is as I've never had a regular cycle. How do I know when my Proper period is? I'm getting so excited and nervous now cos it's come up a whole week quicker than I was expecting.

I'm really not right in the head, just prattling away here. I should go back tot he nice padded spa I think

mumswish · 28/09/2005 16:52

Lonely.... I'm so lonely..... Where's everybody..... I'm all alo......one

Singing in the style of the stupid akon song

mumswish · 28/09/2005 16:53

ok I'm going soon off home (finishing work) and only got net access during work hours

Coathanger · 28/09/2005 17:06

Sorry mumswish, didn't reply quick enough, but I hope you get this tomorrow -

I would say your first proper period would be the first on you get naturally, if you see what i mean.

You really have to understand that you might not fall in time to have a baby in September. I don't want to sound horrible, coz I wouldn't want to be horrible to you Hun, but sometimes it just doesn't work like that. You may well fall PG straight away and get your september baby, which would be great. But a lot could happen - it might take a few months to become PG, and if you do end up with a due date in september remember babies can come early or late (2 of mine were 2 weeks late!). Try not to waste too much energy planning when you want a baby to arrive, just concentrate on getting a baby.

I hope I haven't sounded to harsh, Mumswish. I really spologise if I have but it isn't intentional XXXX
