Bloody hell Diege, keep up, I have said a few times July would be better, and that we may try in May, give June a miss and try again in July.

Just because of birthdays and it will be easier not to have a February, and definatly not another March baby, but I have to wait and see where AF and OV falls because I don't think I can go into labour naturally, so I am likely to go two weeks over, so depending on AF and OV times I might be trying a little earlier than May, but then stop for June, to resume in July.... all a bit complicated!!

Diege · 11/02/2008 18:46

Oh yeah, I remember now . Good job I'm not in charge of the list! Still not happy though - the rule is you can bring the month forward, but not put back . It's too disappointing for everyone else

lardylumps · 11/02/2008 18:51

Well done Diege he he he your eggs can do it I am sure....

NatalieJane · 11/02/2008 18:52

LOL If only it were that simple!

Don't forget, we have to try and sell the house as well, and the longer we have to do that the better, they aren't exactly flying off the shelf round here at the moment....! And on top of that it is no where near ready to even be put on the market yet!

Maybe I should have said July '09?

Diege · 11/02/2008 18:56

Don't you dare

NatalieJane · 11/02/2008 18:58

LOL I couldn't even if I wanted to, DH would kill me

Believe me, I am finding it hard to wait for May, let alone next year!

lardylumps · 11/02/2008 18:58

NJ you have two lovely boys there, how cute (can i wait until April) yes yes i must....

NatalieJane · 11/02/2008 18:59

Awww thank you, they're not too bad I suppose!

kayzisbroody · 11/02/2008 19:15

How could you wait until July NJ? I'm finding it hard enough not to try this month!! Moving forward is only allowed no backwards listen to Diege and I

kayzisbroody · 11/02/2008 19:16

Boys are gorgeous BTW

lardylumps · 11/02/2008 19:19

Must wait until April, Must wait until April.....

kayzisbroody · 11/02/2008 19:20

LOL at LL. Its so hard isn't it, once you get it into your mind that you want another you never stop thinking about it

NatalieJane · 11/02/2008 19:22

I'm not waiting till July, though I really should...

It all depends how my AF's behave, last cycle was 30 days but after the MC the next one could be 25 days or 50 days, or more.......

lardylumps · 11/02/2008 19:23

Freddy is georgous as well KB. I would love a brother for my dd.

kayzisbroody · 11/02/2008 19:24

Yeah I suppose its differcult when you aren't sure on your cycles. If I dont get pg by August Im missing that out as I dont want a May baby

largeginandtonic · 11/02/2008 20:48

Like Teuch and i have said before you are all a bunch of slackers

Have work tommorrow morning and have to nip in to town then wll be back to rest my weary body before jumping up for the school run. I wont be here at 9 to see Wannabe and her test results.

I would like a boy girl

largeginandtonic · 11/02/2008 20:50

Kay i got pregnant on my birthday (20th August) and B was due 13th May but didnt arrive till 26th May. My last af before i concieved was 27th July, they originally dated me 3rd may but i knew i had not ov till middle of August.

kayzisbroody · 11/02/2008 20:56

I have no idea why I dont want a baby in May prob due to MIl birthday in May and when my ex friend was expecting her dd was due in May and my mil said to her "It may be born on my birthday which is better than March" Ds's birthday 20th March

happynappies · 11/02/2008 21:16

I'm back again - was just about to settle down for a chat before then dd woke up, and my feet haven't touched the ground ever since! The conversation seems to have moved on again since 3pm... Can I ask a question? For those of you taking folic acid - are you taking Omega 3 as well? Also, has the prospect of being pg put anyone off going on holiday?? Strange question but am in holiday-booking-mode and keep forgetting that hopefully I will be pg by July, but then get worried at the prospect of morning sickness and never-want-to-move-again tiredness... should I just go for it?

kayzisbroody · 11/02/2008 21:51

Hi Happy, I'm a little worried I have a holiday booked in July. I was pg last time I went on holiday, I had no morning sickness or over tiredness at all but I was really hormonal and we were on holiday with my mum, and I was really moody, the same is happening this year too.
Im not taking omega 3

happynappies · 11/02/2008 21:55

Thanks Kayz - I am getting more carried away with holidays than the thought of ttc at the moment, but think I should be a bit more cautious. Morning sickness was awful last time for me... I know each pg is different though, but somehow I imagine it will be as bad!

kayzisbroody · 11/02/2008 21:58

I had an amazing pg last time. No morning sickness, I didnt feel tired at all really until the last few weeks. Just felt my normal self except for big belly.
I reckon next time I'll be awful bad morning sickness and really tired

NatalieJane · 12/02/2008 07:57

Morning

Kay Freddie is loverly
LG&T, y'know what wannaBe is like, she will either come on at 9 and say she has decided to wait till tomorrow, or she'll say she hasn't done it for x or x or x! Bless her, I really hope this is her chance, she is the only one left from my original TTC thread's, fingers crossed this is it
Happy, we have decided to not book anything this year, and probably next, we went to Menorca last year, DS2 was 8 months old, and it really was a waste of holiday, even the thought of trying to get 3 huge suitcases, a buggy, DS1 (who was 4 and constantly "I need a wee" "I need a drink" "I'm hungryyyyyyy") and DS2 through the airports again is terrifying, and then add the baby and more luggage... I would rather never go on holiday again than go through that! We have said we will do some weekend breaks here and there and do the obligatory days out, but even they will be few and far between because once the weather warms up we have a house to decorate throughout and get on the market!!

First pregnancy, apart from not eating anything except fish fingers for the first 3 months, was absolutely perfect. Second was a bit more tiring, being huge from 6 weeks wasn't much fun, but then I had the 9 week labour and the pre-eclampsia at the end, major child care issues for DS1 and I couldn't stand the sight nor smell of raw meat, I had to let DH go and get it in Tesco or whatever I couldn't even walk down the aisle or see it in the trolley, put it on the conveyor or pack it! 3rd pregnancy was gone before I knew it, though still no sickness or anything, just nose bleeds which I only ever have while pregnant. Hopefully the next one will be like the first one, though at least I know if it is another 9 week labour I have MN on my side Some positivly gearing up for it!!! LOLOLOL

Throughout all of them I have only ever felt a bit sickly, never been sick, had cravings for sour sweets and jaffa cakes at the same time.... everything else differed from one to the other.

Right must go and get my shower..... fucking quickly, I am lateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.......

BeMyLilBaby · 12/02/2008 08:08

kayzisbroody · 12/02/2008 08:14
