New ttc no1 thread.

BTW if anyone knows where those no1 babies are I'd like to know! If I was a real detective I think I would have been sacked by now!

May log on later on train on way home to say hello! Have a lovely evening!

Enjoy Brothers and Sisters and Heroes (which I am recording..)

and happy bonging to all of you are getting some action this week

Ready · 22/08/2007 20:58

OMG! I am soooo busy packing at the moment, no time. Argh. Really need to get on here and catch up with everything. Just wanted to say that I am thinking of you all.... back soon. +

Millie26 · 22/08/2007 21:37

Ooo wow, nomore, any hot choc left in the pan? Could really do with one after being stuck in a forest in the middle of Sweden while it poured with rain - grrrrrr Had two sodding days of sun when its usually boiling!! Didnt even see any elks

Was v excited to catch up with you all - lots more people popped up on the thread, hooray!

Hi Scorpio, glad everything is going well for you and congrats to babybratt and macaco too! Laughed out loud at your 'pant checker' comment Macaco

Ready, loved that moses basket you posted
Nomore, really glad the docs went well for you, hope you are feeling better. Also, didnt even notice the molly thing -you are so nice for saying sorry though!

Toomuch, am sitting here on MN as boyf watches footie saying "mmm" convincingly when he shouts "great goal", "fantastic shot" at me and the tv. He knows I go on here but he doesnt want me to get obsessed with getting pg as he is worried that I'll get myself all stressed out so I dont tell him that I go on every day... oops.

Gilly - hope you are enjoying London! I have done the opposite, gone from flat in London to job for tiny company in the North. My bf lives in Angel and I love visiting her - London is so cool.

Fifilou - am also considering the possibility of PCOS but going to wait till January till I go to the doctors just to see if it happens naturally. Dont be scared, I know it's a bit horrid having someone poking you around but it's all for a good cause and when you get pg they say when you get pg you spend more time with your pants down than up so you should get some practice in! (I've got endometriosis so I've totally prepared...ha!)

Hi MT, bellabear, shoshable, pinkmartini, rattling and poppy75!

Anyway, I dont want to bring the thread down but I am feeling really shitty as desperately want my period to come so that we can start TTC properly and it still isnt here . I have been spotting a bit since Saturday (duly noted in new Symptoms Diary ) but it's not here properly at all. Had sex once (once!) on holiday so that was rubbish and so now lovely partner has been briefed to perform every other day once period has stopped and no excuses .

Has anyone seen my period? Seriously, this is the one and only time that I really, really want it to come and I keep torturing myself with 'maybe I'm pg' thoughts even though I know Im not because I did a test before I went on hols. Grrr...

Also, going to see my friend and her new baby on Saturday and feeling pretty about it. I dont want to have a photo taken of me holding him because Im worried that I might look at it obsessively or stick it on my computer at work or something in mentalist baby-envy craze.

This is the longest message ever - sorry! Just making up for a week away

nomoremagnolia · 22/08/2007 21:39

You off on holiday Ready or is it house packing?

toomuch love the idea of 'celebrating' potential last alcohol - what a great way to look at things! Hope you had a good night.

Hi Millie Sorry your holiday was a washout I'll put the hot chocolate on straight away Don't know where you period is - have you checked down the back of the sofa? Loved "mentalist baby-envy craze" you've just summed me up!

OP posts:
nomoremagnolia · 22/08/2007 21:51

Hot chocolate's ready - if anyone's still around for it?

OP posts:
Millie26 · 22/08/2007 22:01

Oooo..yes please! Thanks nomore. Just about to go to bed and not do any bonging at all so hot choc will do nicely.

That and writing a to-do list - am so romantic

toomuchtimeonline · 22/08/2007 23:40

Hello all. Celebrated my ability to drink with avengeance (sp!?) Tonight!! Hope you're all ok!! DH has gone to bed even though I may be ovulating goddamhim

toomuchtimeonline · 23/08/2007 10:27

Morning folks - how are we today?

Millie26 · 23/08/2007 13:30

Hello! Back at work after hols is no fun at all - and it's suddenly so sunny outside!

Just wasted another £2.88 on a pregnancy test today which was, of course, BFN. Just wanted to squish that last little niggle that might possibly explain the

  1. headaches
  2. tiredness
  3. fatness
  4. no period
  5. angriness
  6. weepiness
  7. fatness
  8. sudden love of oatcakes
  9. lack of concentration
  10. did I mention fatness?

So depressing that this person is just me!! Need to get to the gym, eat more salad and stop being such a wingebag.

How is everyone else?

toomuchtimeonline · 23/08/2007 14:49

Hi Millie - feeling pretty fat myself at the moment

scorpio1 · 23/08/2007 14:52

don't we all!!

everyone ok?

macaco · 23/08/2007 15:54

Hi everyone and congrats to all those with BFPs, I've not posted on here since before I got mine and I'm still reeling (in a good way ) Can't quite get used to the idea. Still pant checking...just can't believe my period's not about to start!
As regards fatness... I felt REALLY bloated in the week or so before I tested. Feel better now. Had cramps too, still have them in fact but less so.

nomoremagnolia · 23/08/2007 17:40

I've just got in from the gym [smug] so am not feeling quite as fat as I did an hour ago.
Millie ((hugs)) The waiting's horrible isn't it? If it's not the 2ww then it's waitng for AF to finish, then it's waiting for ov then 2ww again. you don't need the wait for AF to start too! Any chance of getting to doc's to see what's going on?

Hi ladies....

Nomore - I wish I was going on holiday. No such luck. Tut. It's moving packing. All good fun Everything is going into storage for the foreseeable future. How are you feeling kitten? PMSL at MrNoMore using the word bonging and reading the threads. My DH doesn't read the threads, although sometimes he will hovver nearby and pretend not to be reading them - He gets a running commentary of everything that goes on with all my MN mates

Millie - That moses basket was a beaut wasn't it! How are you doing? Sorry your period hasn't arrived, although, it is weird saying that sentence on this thread

Toomuch - I really enjoyed Brothers&Sisters last night, glad you recorded it. You are right it is sickly sweet, but I think that's why I love it - so comforting! Loving your attitude to being able to drink - every cloud - I have decided to keep on with my pregnacare - DH keeps calling my a vitamin snob, just like the fact that I refuse to buy own brand cornflakes

Gilly - So sweet of you to think of me on the Tube - Isn't it funny how much we infiltrate each others lives. I was telling DH all about you moving down to London, how you were renting out your place etc.

Poppy - Really sorry that you are in need of support, but you are in the right place. I know it is hard, but do try to look to the positives that you have achieved. Hang in there

Scorpio - Dark Khaki sounds good!! Hope you are ok?

BB - Your BP is an idiot! Most people like to wait til the scan, and that is certainly what I would do. Quite frankly, it's none of her bloody business when you decide to tell people. Stick to your guns, of course you are excited.

Sorry if I have missed anyone.... eek. Everyone else - big wave

Ready · 23/08/2007 17:44

Darn it. As soon as I pressed send Rattling - wanted to just say, sorry that you didn't get your BFP this month chick. I was so excited for you. Hang in there. Pop some codeine

poppy75 · 23/08/2007 18:25

Hello

MN really works, after ranting online I felt much better and had a really nice time. I just really needed to be miserable for an hour.

I had my haircut and went out for meal with friends and even got chatted up (very unusual) so felt much better. I think that I've almost managed to eat and drink those pounds that took weeks to loose but loved every mouthful!!!!

Am much more positive so thank you everyone!!! Bought some new clothes that I definately wouldn't have had chance to buy if I were preggers so will enjoy non-pregnant body for as long as it lasts!!!

nomoremagnolia · 23/08/2007 18:25

Yay poppy positive thinking! glad you had a good time. MN is great isn't it

OP posts:
poppy75 · 23/08/2007 18:38

Hi nomore - I actually seem quite normal after my mad MN rants. It is so good as I don't know anyone else around me who has struggled after MC, I guess lots of people don't tell you.

This month I'm going to make a point of doing everything I can't do when pregnant or have baby. Including wear skinny jeans, have fake tan, drink lots of alcohol, have loads of lie-ins the list is endless!!!

poppy75 · 23/08/2007 18:39

Whoops I meant struggled to get BFP again (as I know those who have MC have gone through the same feelings)

nomoremagnolia · 23/08/2007 18:42

You're right, MN has really opened my eyes to the number of women who suffer early m/c and never tell anyone

OP posts:
nomoremagnolia · 23/08/2007 18:43

anyone in RL I mean

OP posts:
toomuchtimeonline · 24/08/2007 10:43

Morning all,

Glad you're feeling more positive Poppy - MN is a saviour isn't it!

Ready - I was feeling really down last night so I watched brothers and sisters and was nearly crying at the end when he played the tape - how sad am I!!?

Nomore - very at your gym visits! I really need to start going!

Everyone else - where are you all? It's a bit quiet on here..

I'm very today! I'm CD 15 but have not bonged since Tuesday as circumstances have worked against me so now I feel like I've really missed the boat this month - also DH is out tonight so probably won't bong tonight either! I feel really depressed - it's bad enough to not get a BFP but it feels like such a waste to not even have the slim hope of a BFP..

.. anyway rant over!! Hopefully I'll perk up soon - it is Friday afterall..

Ready · 24/08/2007 11:23

toomuch - I was watching with DH, and had to sneakily wipe away a few tears at that point. Really sweet.
