Oh Wannabe, I am so sorry to hear af arrived. You sound so down. I don't know what to say other than sending you lots of hugs. xx

coggy · 08/08/2006 10:50

for you wannaBe.....you will move onto Sept thread though won't you?
I'll probably see you there on Thursday!!!

Wanta....it's good to come on here and have a moan...can't easily do it anywhere else and we have all been in that position once or twice (or many more times actually) don't worry about winging...I reckon it's good for you!!

SOL...go girl with your Bding - do try to keep up with your fantastically keen DH!!!
My bbb was horrible although my dh said he really enjoyed it!! (How sweet he is!!)
It was not just a bbb...it was a diet recipe too...shan't bother with that again and I'll take my vege family down the local instead!!!!!

Natty1806 · 08/08/2006 11:12

Not sure what to say Wannabe sorry AF arrived but not sure what to say about giving up. hugs x

Angsthase · 08/08/2006 11:48

Wannabe - sorry you're pee'd off. AF's just suck don't they. But re the age gap thing, there's 6 & 8 years between me and sisters and we're all really close, so no reason to stop if the age gap is your only reason.

Wantab - it's always crap when you're confronted with people who just take it all for granted and don't give a sh*t what they do to their bodies while they're pg. I have a friend who has smoked, drunk and eaten all the crap stuff all the way through her pg , and it all just seems so unfair. Our day WILL come.

SOL - Can you BD once or twice for me too

Sexonlegs · 08/08/2006 11:58

Coggy, lol re your BBB! My dh is a bit like that. He is so grateful for anything I cook him! Just as well!!
Angsthase, will bd for you as requested! Although dh is away tonight himself, so no action for me. Quite looking forward to going to bed with a good book!

MrsMcJnr · 08/08/2006 12:03

Good morning ladies, throat is a bit better today but I am still totally choked. I think it is a really slim chance that I could be pregnant but I have not taken any remedies just in case. Also, because I was feeling lousy, I had no wine for the first time in ages last night and I see this evening going the same way. Terrible I know.

Feeling the pressure from family at the mo, even though we told everyone we know that we were not going to TTC until next year because we couldn?t afford to, to give us some breathing space, people keep dropping hints all the time. We have two cars, a two seater and a normal car and we?ve decided to sell the two seater to release some cash that we really need but you can just imagine what that is being interpreted as!

Wannabe ? feeling for you. I have 2 sisters, one is 2 years younger and the other 9 years younger and we get on really well but I appreciate the issues for you are more than the age gap and that sanity comes into it too.

Natty ? strange thing to say on a Positive thread but I hope AF arrives soon so you can get started on the clomid.

Coggy ? what a great DH you have, mine would point blank refuse to eat a whole meal without any meat! Sounds like things could be looking good for you too. I think I might have to try that preseed stuff next month.

SOL ? Another great DH, mine squirms when I even mention the word ?cycle?.

Wantababynow ? Sorry to hear you are down, hope letting it all out helps. We are all here to listen. I don?t know why we ever grew up to complain that things aren?t fair, there is so much out there that is really so unfair isn?t there? Again, seems an odd thing to say on a Positive thread but I hope AF arrives soon so you can get started on the clomid.

Tili ? I read that blood in your discharge can happen when you ovulate. I think my body is still a bit shell shocked from the pill too. Only been off since the end of June. I have been charting my temps etc and although the temps seem to be ?normal? I did not have the EWCM I was looking for, it never changed from the creamy stuff, sorry TMI. Fingers crossed and good luck just in case.

Aprilmeadow ? I know exactly how you feel.

Hope the move goes well Bellie and the stress does not mess with your cycle.

Sounding good DD1, fingers crossed!

Hello Angsthase and everyone else.

DH was out last night and I watched some Daddy Boot Camp programme on Living. It was hilarious, set in the US with these guys wanting to know the ins and outs of everything. One thing that made me laugh was when the midwife was telling the men that when their women ovulate they will be desperate for sex and the bonus for the men is that the women won?t even be interested in foreplay!

Tili · 08/08/2006 12:06

wannabe my dd will be 4 at the end of sept. me and dh didnt want this big of an age gap either but we wanted to wait until we were secure enough financially to afford another one.to be honest we still arent exactly were we want to be but we can make it work.
I gave up my job to raise my dd and dream of having a career 1 day so we have decided to go for baby number 2 now I know that may sound a bit silly but im nearly 27 so i want to have a secure future and need to get out there. but i need my kids!

Tili · 08/08/2006 12:07

does that sound stupid? or selfish?

Tili · 08/08/2006 12:11

thanks mrsmcjnr. why does the human body have to be so complicated i used to dread my af coming an now i cant wait for one!

Tili · 08/08/2006 12:21

by the way mrsmcjnr get well soon

Sexonlegs · 08/08/2006 12:22

MrsMcJnr, sorry to hear you are feeling pants. Hope you are feeling better soon.
Hi Tili, I don't think your post sounds stupid or selfish - you are just being honest about your situation.

Natty1806 · 08/08/2006 12:28

Thanks Mrs- hope you feel better soon and stay off the wine. I think i watched a bit of that programme was it house of babies?

coggy · 08/08/2006 12:36

Hey Mrs....you might change your mind about my DH when you read what I've posted on the 2nd twiglet thread!!!!! LOL!!!!!

He is lovely but he really doesn't want to know ANYTHING about cycles etc. It makes him go off it so I keep very quiet!!!

Hope you feel better soon.
X

Tili · 08/08/2006 15:02

hi sexonlegs im glad my post doesnt sound stupid or selfish.
It was strange though, i had always wanted kids then i had dd and it was having her that made me realise what it was that i actually want to do with my life.So im going to have my family and then embark on a career.

Babymad4num3 · 08/08/2006 15:51

The last 3 months i've a had big brake out of spot's to the point the dr even said it is acne a friend of mine said that it might be linked with the unbale to get pg! Advice please!

coggy · 08/08/2006 15:52

Hormone imbalance somewhere???

Babymad4num3 · 08/08/2006 15:59

I'm so down about the baby thing, acne is making to so much worse I don't know what to do, I'm toying with going back on the pill have time out, than, start trying again in a few months, or do I just stick it out and wait see what the doctors say's tomorrow about the baby thing, with the acne thing I feel so unattractive that I don't want bd anymore I do at key moment but I feel so unattractive!

pendulum · 08/08/2006 16:12

Hello all
Back from holidays- had a really relaxing time.

Have not had time to read all posts but sorry to see that a few people have been disappointed by AF.

I'm on CD20 and doing my temps for first month which is not making much sense (am seeking advice from trace on Temps thread). No sign of ov from the temp chart but have BD every night for the last 8 just in case!

Hope everyone is well.

trace2 · 08/08/2006 16:28

pendulum ! the dip usally occurs on the day of ovulation its the result of high levels of estronen pushing your temp down, i thought you would understand this better, so lets hope you get your rise tomorrow, and i want to know in the morning too

trace2 · 08/08/2006 16:30

aprilmeadow · 08/08/2006 19:36

DD1 - last month i think i went through 5 pregnany tests, all different makes, because i was so impatient and they were obv all bfn. Was most annoyed as af arrived about 10mins after the 5th test - wished i had waited and could have saved £9! Its the not knowing that kills me

Mrs... hope you feel better soon

Coggy - had you tried nutloaf? My boss is a vege and eats loads of wierd and wonderful things. Also there's tofu etc etc

SOL - my dh is keen also to bd, but likes to make sure that its because we want to and not just to make a baby!
