Happy but a bit frustrated......

[WannabeLaraCroft]

Bit of a long story but anyway.......been TTC second child since July, no luck. (DS was conceived after only 2 months of trying). My AF was always every 28-30 days, but ended up being 10 days late in January. Kept thinking I was pregnant, but lots of negative tests. Gutted.

So.

Bought a load of ovulation sticks off the internet at the end of February. Then I spotted an ad for a job which I know I'd be PERFECT for. Went to the interview on the Thursday. Ovulation sticks arrived in the post along with pregnancy tests on the Monday. Took a test on Tuesday as I was a couple of days late..........and I'm pregnant. Didn't think I would be (see late AF above) but thought I'd give it a try anyway. Got a ClearBlue test for confirmation, defo preggers!!

I am over the moon, but......REALLY!? After waiting so long, getting the ovulation tests then thinking, 'you know what, I'm going to try for this new job and if I get it, I'll stop trying for a while. This must be what's meant to be.' Blah blah blah.

So now although I'm extremely happy that in 9 months time I'll be a mum to a wonderful 5 yo DS and a brand new baby, I'm stuck with a load of ovulation sticks and in a job that I hate!!!!!!!!!

PS this is obviously light-hearted as I am very happy, and I promise I'm not moaning!! It's just frustrating that it's taken longer than I thought and the timing is shit!!

So...........does anyone want 30 ovulation test sticks!?

I think when I read this....the say Life Is what happens when you're busy making plans! Soo true. And you will take time off your horrible job and then maternity leave and then maybe start applying for something bigger and better in the near future. This is frustrating but maybe the job wasn't that perfect after all...
Congrats on your lovely news x

Thank you LBMarie77 - you are so right!

Job obviously wasn't meant to be, baby was!

Ahhhhhh wow, congratulations. At least when you're going to work at your current job you can now think that you've got something amazing to look forward to. As LBMarie says, maybe there is something out there telling you the other job wasn't right and by the time mat leave is over, you'll have a fresh new perspective and can look for something else :)

Congratulations again x

congratulations! the timing isn't shit, try be positive!

everything always happens at once - it doesn't rain it pours and at least you'll be able to stash some cash to enjoy your maternity leave. don't fret about the job just see what happens.

congratulations again!

Thanks guys. I guess I should be more smug knowing that in about 9 months time I can wave my really shit job goodbye, even if it's just for a short while
