If you're a WIIT and you know it, post in here!

[AmandaCooper]

Welcome to another thread everybody, George and Jake are standing by to do our bidding and have pina coladas for the waiters and sick buckets for the upduffed!

For anyone who is wondering "what the blazers is a WIIT?", the back story is that we all waited to ttc together for a long time and we are now variously still waiting, actively trying or upduffed.

Old thread here"

Ps I x-posted Whywait, sorry, I didn't mean to go on about stupid wedding when you are feeling fed up x

WW - Are you planning to try somewhere else?

Strawberry - How exciting! Eeek! As for how big you'll be...it's anyone's guess! I was hardly showing, but I was bigger beforehand anyway. Friends/family knew coz it was impossible to hide how sick I was! Possibly best to go for an empire line dress!

Oh I'm sorry whywait :( Sounds like you've been having a rough time lately - hope you get some time to relax and treat yourself.

strawberry I did feel the same way about marriage, but I have since decided not to care about all the patriarchical stuff. At 16 weeks you should definitely notice a rounder tummy, but it probably won't be obvious to other people. Partly it depends on whether you put on weight in the first trimester.

Whywait I know the feeling. I just sat and cried when I found out I didn't get that job. It's horribly disappointing, isn't it? You're having a bit of a tough time at the moment. George! Jake! A kilo of finest chocolate please!

None for Strawberry though, if she's going to have any chance of hiding her bump at 16 weeks pg!

Hiya Ladies,

I'm still around, just taking a little break from being on here so often, bit of a brain fart over what stage I'm at and desperately wanting to get to 12 weeks and know everything is OK, plus I keep seeing on other threads about MMCs and stuff like that and I don't like it. I'm still puking, went back to work yesterday and am now feeling proper ick again, having brought up the 2 biscuits I ate when I was still in bed, and dreading eating anything else, so I'm taking those signs as good, but it doesn't make it easier to wait.

Woohoo for Strawberry, I must admit to thinking you must have been when you got the faint line and was so pleased to see a proper BFP for you. Good luck with the planning.

Sorry WhyWait :( Had a work related let down last year and had a cry over it, I hope you get sorted for something else.

As for everyone else, sorry I'm not doing a big catch up, but I'm thinking of you all, and when I've got over myself and stopped freaking out about the stage I'm at I will be back.

Hey 100years good to hear from you. It does sound like it's an agonising wait for the 12 week point. Maybe this thread isn't in the right place anymore. Maybe we should start it in Chat or something, it would be more sensitive to the other people in Conception as well.

Sorry to hear you're another victim of the dreaded morning sickness. As you say it's supposedly a good sign. You must feel terrible after a few weeks of it though.

Hi 100years I did the same thing and took a break as was really anxious - a lot of the threads on here didn't do much to calm me! Hope you find a way to feel better :)

Amanda sounds a good idea to move this thread :)

Where should it move to then? Is Chat the best place?

If we put it in chat it'll get deleted after so many days...possibly not a good move! Agree it should be moved...I'll have a hunt & seek out some possible new 'destinations' for the train! :o

100 - sorry you are still feeling rubbish. How long til you get to 12 weeks?

Can't find anywhere.....maybe chat would be best?

Morning all, i come bearing good news :-)

I've had the scan and we saw our baby bouncing around in there . Eveything is fine apparently, they couldn't find anything to explain the bleeding. Also i am 10+6 not the 10+1 we thought. Junior is now due on 25th August.

Strawberry, how exciting!!!

WhyWait, i'm so sorry to hear your news. Sending hugs (((((()))))))

Hi all, not much to report here other than my impatient countdown until our 20-week scan tomorrow morning. I really, really hope the baby cooperates as we would love to find out the gender!

I agree that it would be a good idea to move this thread...maybe to pregnancy? Wherever it goes, though, there will be sensitivity issues as everyone is in a different situation. I even had to avoid my antenatal thread for a couple of months until I was past the 12-week point as there were some really devastating MCs in my group. I really felt for them, but dwelling on it was making me unnecessarily anxious about my own pregnancy.

Strawberry, congrats on your doubly good news! I was definitely showing by 16 weeks, but it could have been mistaken for putting on a bit of weight rather than a pregnancy (not necessarily something you want people thinking at your wedding either)! But everyone is different. An empire waist dress might make it easier, but be careful buying too far in advance because you are likely going to need a bigger size up top very soon.

WhyWait, sorry about your course

WYorksLass, congrats on a healthy and active bean!

Sorry WhyWait. That stinks for you :( If it's any consolation, one of my friends got turned down from about three primary courses but did find one she was happy with and is now in her second year, so don't be downhearted!

WYorksLass Great news! :)

How about putting the thread in 'other subjects' in 'other stuff'? There are a couple of others that have moved there after moving from another area to Chat, then being deleted from Chat after the time period was up. Please don't put it in Pregnancy because we're sadly not all yet!!

I agree with MrsSatsuma. If it goes into pregnancy we'd be likely to get new people trying to join in, which I don't oppose per se, but if those people are all pregnant it will change the dynamic.

I have just asked Jake and George to disentangle the Gruffalo from the curtains and bring him here (don't worry they are wearing Kevlar body armour).

DH and I last night were chatting about the kitten, which is visibly bigger and stronger by the day. DH was waxing lyrical about the pleasures of watching something grow and develop as you nurture it. He said maybe we should produce our own. I said "do you mean we should breed from him and raise another kitten somewhere down the line?" and DH said "no silly I mean we should have a baby."

Well of course I was delighted and embraced him effusively. "When should we try then?"

"Oh you thought I meant now? I don't mean now! I meant at some point in the future."

Whywait I think mine should say (vaguely) "at some point in the future".

Suddenly had a flurry of activity in here! :)

'Other Stuff' sounds like the best plan for moving the thread! How do you go about doing that? (Not volunteering, just enquiring )

WYorks - v exciting seeing the bean!

MrsW - good luck for scan 2moro, keep us updated!

AC - I'll join you for cocktail hour evening!

My poor friend who has been TTC#2 for 18months went to hospital with her DH today. He had to 'produce' a sample but got stage fright! Cue lots of racing around with specimens backwards and forwards to hospital. Really hope it's nothing too serious for them, they have been through alot this last year. At the same time it really makes me anxious about the possibility of secondary infertility. :(

Hello all

Another really busy week for me but wanted to swing by and say congrats to strawberry on all counts. Really pleased for you.

Whywait my sister had the same thing happen in terms of not getting in to her PGCE the first time round, she did get into a course the following year though and now is very happy - I think it worked out better for her in the end. Hoping the same happens for you.

Quodlibet - TTC 1 at some point in 2011 probably

Hi all, just popping in to say we had our scan this morning. Everything is fine, and we're having a little boy! We're very excited, although we would have of course been thrilled either way. I wasn't surprised, as I've gotten strong boy vibes throughout my pregnancy.

I hope everyone is well today!
