He has got his mate who's a carpenter helping him! He's calming influence! Mind you, it's took 5 years and £6000 later!!!

Yeah, four years on! Never really been bothered, but now DS is nearly 7, we think it really is time to 'really' try!

FurryFox · 17/02/2007 18:27

Had you just been seeing what happened then so to speak rather than properly ttc iyswim? Sorry for being nosey.

jhyesmum · 17/02/2007 18:33

You're not nosey at all!

Yeah, we had the attitude that if it happens it happens - that's what happened with DS!

Now DH says 'come on, i need to keep your levels up' Good excuse hey!!

Anything to get some!

readyandwaiting · 17/02/2007 20:54

hello jhyesmum! wow very overdue! why did doc say not to shag for 2 wks? sorry if being a bit personal can imagine my dh's reaction to that one

ffox - ds had massive smile for me this morning and was lovely and cuddley! not sure how my cycle will work out, i didn't have any when ttc ds but consultant never found out what was going on because i got pg! so agree with just clicking fingers and being pg - sign me up for that!

jhyesmum · 17/02/2007 22:11

what he said was that he would test again in two weeks but to 'abstain from unprotected sex' then if i tested neg again i would defo not be preg! I didn't get it either!

I think we'll forget that!

I'm very straight to the point so don't think you're being personal!

jhyesmum · 17/02/2007 22:14

furry - by the way, I was right about DH wanting some tonight! 'I have been a very busy boy today, I need some loving tonight!' I can read him like a book!

Bottoms up! Or Vagina's should we say!

FurryFox · 17/02/2007 22:22

Just came on quickly for one more look tonight and found myself rofl at jhyesmum.

Oh well, fanjos up Have a good night

jhyesmum · 18/02/2007 11:03

He had to wait until this morning - Rita, Sue and Bob too was on when we went to bed!

I'm feeling a bit sicky this morning.

readyandwaiting · 18/02/2007 19:46

feeling sicky... good sign lol about not bothering to abstain!

been keeping eye on other thread furryfox you post on loads, keeping thinking i should join in some more conversations but have simple mind and get lost enough on where the conversations at just on this one

cramps tonight hoping its af as pretty convinced (done 3 tests now) that not pg!

FurryFox · 18/02/2007 20:14

yesmum - you still feeling sicky? Could mean something but may not - hope it does though ....oh just remembered, did you say you were going to your sis today and she had a test for you?...

ready - These are the two main threads I post on, sometimes others but at the moment these are my two regulars . Often lurk on the chat threads but they moooove far too quickly for me and I would get lost instantly . Have posted a lot more the last couple of weeks as convinced dh to buy us a laptop which means I get to take it everywhere with me....hmmm sound ever so slightly obsessed now

You should come and join us on the other ttc thread/s. I lurked for ages before I had the courage to post - not sure now what I was so worried about.

So I have worked out that you are on cd36 today, is that right?

Hope if you aren't pg this month then af is about to start iyswim. It's horrible waiting and not knowing for sure and at least once af has been and gone you can get going again

readyandwaiting · 18/02/2007 20:31

slightly scared bout posting on other threads, not to sure about crowds

yep cd 36... your right def hope af it on way so can properly try again

(am sitting in lounge hogging dh's work laptop to post - becoming slightly obsessed too but good to chat about it - told some people am ttc again but don't think they'd understand how much i think about it... was having good look at double buggies in mothercare today )

FurryFox · 18/02/2007 20:57

Ditto with the crowds

My mum knows we're ttc, brother knows, SIL knows - who then took it upon herself to tell my nan , Aunt knows, PIL's know, my two best friends know and other friends have also worked it out and my Mums friends at work know again....oh and mn knows

With DD no one knew we were ttc apart from my Mum, not sure why and how so many people know this time

Am a lot more clued up on ttc this time (no expert my any means) but am totally aware that ttc can be a tricky business and it might not happen straight away. Am staying (as much as I can) relaxed about it all - stress doesn't help matters so there's just no point. Easier said than done though and I do have my moments, usually after spending hours on websites such as Mothercare/M&P/Kiddicare...the list goes on!

Mama's & Papa's have just got a new double buggy out actually, quite similar to the macleren ones. Sorry

readyandwaiting · 18/02/2007 21:06

we told family this time too when didn't say anything last time and it took us 12 mo ttc ds (as said earlier no cycle so did get loads of gp and consultant support) not sure it helps cause have only mentioned it but don't really want to talk about it with them just stops the 'are you having anymore/going back to work question' don't like my job too much but fantastic maternity package so family asking if am going to have career change....err... not till i've had another one!

good on you to stay relaxed - too much worrying info on net sometimes, think i found most of it when ttc first time n convinced myself something was wrong - need to be much more positive and chilled this time

you so know i'm about to go and check out that new m&p buggy now

FurryFox · 18/02/2007 21:17

I ended up leaving my job after I had dd. Plan was to go back to work full time but circumstances changed and enabled me to stay at home full time with dd. If we had decided not to ttc again until dd was about 3 as we first thought then I would have probably got a part time job but as we started when dd was 16 months I'm not going to look for a job - just hope it doesn't take toooooo long to get pg this time, if it does happen again

I think you can end up reading too much info on the net sometimes and it ends up making you worry about, sometimes, nothing.

Did you see the buggy?

readyandwaiting · 18/02/2007 21:29

yep checked out buggy looks good, i like the phil and teds one too but its expensive (have it in mothercare now)

we will get pg again - positive mental attitude n all that

i'm going back to work at the end of april and am hoping to go back pg (my line manager would not be impressed but who cares!)

FurryFox · 18/02/2007 21:45

Yes you're right - positive mental attitude needed. I guess I'm a bit superstitious and don't like to tempt fait but just 'assuming' I'll get pg again but am sure we will.

Are you going back to work full or part time? Who will have your ds?

FurryFox · 18/02/2007 22:01

Just noticed my spelling I meant fate rather than fate - doh!

FurryFox · 18/02/2007 22:54

again. Meant by assuming I'll get pg again, not but.

Must go to bed, obviously far too tired to type.x

readyandwaiting · 19/02/2007 12:51

am going back 4 days a week and ds going to childminder across the road, have mixed feelings about it... just have to see how it goes

i'm bad at assuming getting pg will be really hard so probably jinxing it anyway - trying hard to assume that all the baby homones will have reset themselves after ds and this time we'll concieve quicker

hope you're having a good day

where did everyone else go?

FurryFox · 19/02/2007 13:07

I've been thinking that - we can't be the only ones ttc no2 . jhyesmum was around quite a bit the other day.

jhyesmum · 19/02/2007 13:53

hi Furry! Went over my sister's but we didn't do a test. But to be honest, the shit has hit the fan over there at the moment! That's why I have'nt posted.

Her husband has left her again. He's such an arse wipe. Goes running back to mummy when things get a little rough. My sis has got depression too, so he's not making matters any better. Went over again today to see her as I was worried sick about her.

To add salt to the wounds, he has also said that he doesn't like my DS going round to theirs. (DS has ADHD). I am really gutted about that. Sorry for ranting!

jhyesmum · 19/02/2007 13:56

Sorry - forgot to say hi to you readyandwaiting! Nice to have you with us!! Syncronized baby making!

readyandwaiting · 19/02/2007 17:05

hello again

at his comment about your ds sounds like you deserve a rant - and what better place to do it, hows sis doing today?

jhyesmum · 19/02/2007 18:21

Not great. She's in pieces to be honest. We have this kind of wierd thing where we know what each other is thinking/feeling, so I'm feeling shit too! When I was in labour with DS she had period pains and some of my morning sickness and vice versa!!

BIL is a knob head! My DH wants to knock his head off! Not if i get there first!

Ooooohhhh, i'm so wound up!

The hardest thing for me is that my Neice heard everything going on (she's my bird!, so I had a nice chat with her today!

How's you??

FurryFox · 19/02/2007 19:47

Evening ladies.

jhyesmum - Sorry about your sister and the way you are feeling. Her husband really does sound like a complete twat. Sorry if over stepping the mark by saying that. And it's completely fine for you to have a rant - that's what we're here for

I think it's amazing that sisters can have those feelings when somethings happening to the other one and they just know. Are you twins or just sisters?

readyandwaiting how are you tonight? Have you had a good day today?
