Yep, I am not going back on it, DH is either going to have to use condoms, run the risk of a DC4 or get the snip, I'm not bothered either way, but I am not going back on the pill. When I went back on it before the MC it was only a month and I could feel everything closing in again, we had already decided I was going to come off it again at the end of the pack and do something different, but then I didn't get my withdrawel bleed, and MC'ed, and then decided to go for a DC3.

Ermmmm, did I just mention a DC4? Blardy hell, let me get no.3 out of the way first please!!

kayzisbroody · 03/03/2008 13:55

Yes you did!!

Maybe you'll have twins!!

NatalieJane · 03/03/2008 13:58

Twins

kayzisbroody · 03/03/2008 14:05

hehe.

I'd love twins but I dont think I'd enjoy giving birth to twins.

MoosMa · 03/03/2008 14:17

Afternoon all, it's taken me so long to catch up I've forgotten what I was going to say now!

Had to lie a bit this morning at toddler group, 3 people asked me if I would have any more DCs and I kept saying things like "oh I don't think so, it's too much hard work haha" while feeling very uncomfortable about fibbing. One friend even said she was thinking about having another, would probably start TTCing in about June, it was all I could do not to blurt out "me too, me too!".

I don't really know why I'm being so secretive about it, I think it's because as soon as I got pg with DD2 I said we'd never have any more, so now I feel a bit silly for changing my mind! . I'm going to try not to tell anybody and see how big I have to get before someone asks, heehee.

My dad looked at my not quite as flat as it once was tummy last night and said 'when's it due then?' I'm not even fat! In fact, I'm trying to put some weight on in preparation for MS but am failing miserably, these 2 DDs keep me so busy I don't have time for anything to stick!

Playingthewaitinggame · 03/03/2008 14:23

I have a big softie as a DH as well. I think romance and affection is critcal in our relationship. We might not GOF everynight but we always snuggle and/or have a bit of fun even if we're too tired or its too late to do much else. It keeps the love/lust alive!

kayzisbroody · 03/03/2008 14:25

Hello, I've told a few people we're going to try for another this year but no one knows we're trying now.

Dads are like that unfortuantly. My dad does it all the time. But I do still have a belly so.
I must get rid of it!!

Playingthewaitinggame · 03/03/2008 14:29

I know what you mean about not telling people. When it comes to family and close friends if/when they ask I am beg to say, "we were thinking next year might be the right time to start a family". Not lying, leaves it open, I hope to have the baby next year not start trying but I am not about to tell them that. That seems to shut people up but leaves it vague enough so I wont start getting questions about "how its going" (assuming I dont take over a year ttc). I would never tell anyone related to work about this though!

Diege · 03/03/2008 14:32

Hello! (break-time!). I've given up even hinting at wanting another LO because people's responses have just been sooo negative ('what would you want to be doing that for then...are you mad! etc etc). Quite bizarre really as we're both very much looking forward to no.4, are fine financially etc etc...Maybe it's a no.4 thing???
Big soppy AHHHHHH at all the lovely gooey romance stuff. have to admit there's room for improvement in the diege house. It's so true that the cuddles etc are sooo important, as is communciation. I have to say I'm opften the worst offendor with the TV on in the evenings (eyes straying to the screen when we have our 'talks' )

Diege · 03/03/2008 14:43

That's a really good strategy Playing!! Shuts them up but also stops all the constant questionning

Playingthewaitinggame · 03/03/2008 14:44

Yep I agree Diege. Coomunication is important and nasty TV often gets in the way. Thats part of which I insist we eat at the table every night, no TV in the kitchen, so we "have" to talk to each other.

Am excited now, twas worried about being CD20 and no ewcm, well just got EWCM, yay!! Also I have had a bit of pain on my right side and am excited by the prospect that it could be ov pain?! I have never noticed ov pain before!

Diege · 03/03/2008 14:47

yes, yes, that's ovulation,. now get to the GOF girl!!!!!

MoosMa · 03/03/2008 14:49

Also my mum said the other day (as she walked in to my messy kitchen) 'Oh I'm so glad you're stopping at 2, I don't think I could go through this messy stage again!' HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA [nervous]

MoosMa · 03/03/2008 14:50

And yes, Playing that does sound like OV - oooh, I was never aware of having pains or EWCM, lucky you!

Diege · 03/03/2008 14:54

Arghh just realised you're not trying yet Playing!!! What a waste of EWM
Lol Moosma, my mum is the same. TBh, breaking the news of no.4 to her will be very scary, which is bizarre I know

Playingthewaitinggame · 03/03/2008 14:56

Diege, like your idea, but I am one of the few still waiting on here!! I am excited because it is nice to know my body is working and I am trying to closely monitor by cycles ready for ttc.

MoosMa, I was never aware of either myself. I had always noticed my CM changed throughout the cycle but never knew what it meant. Its only since becoming addicted to MN that I have been paying attention and realised that I did get EWCM. Mind you, if I had been looking for it on CD14 I wouldn't have found it as I seem to ov late (CD20 today). Never felt ov pain as well, but then I would probably have ignored it as I would any old minor stomach pain. Its only cos I have just got EWCM that it has occured to me that this stomach pain might be ov pain!

Playingthewaitinggame · 03/03/2008 15:03

Mums can be strange creatures. I love mine to bits but she is a clean freak (she moves furniture i.e chest of drawers when she hoovers) and I know she must think my house is a awful. But thats just me, its not that untidy, its just not spotless either. Never will be, whether I have 0 or 10 dcs! I have better things to do with my time!!

I have told a few people we'll be trying soon, told my mum and my closest sister after the MC, not as an annoucment as such just as the end to the MC story, IYKWIM?! And one of the mums at school, she knew also about the MC, and wasn't one of the shit stirrers when it happened, she, probably nosily, but sensitivly asked if we were planning another and I just said maybe later in the year.

Oh and my hairdresser, but we have been pretty close for a few years now, and she loves the gossip LOL

I don't see much point in hiding it, by the time I am 6 weeks everyone only has to look at me to see, so it won't be a secret for long!

NatalieJane · 03/03/2008 15:34

Hiya GJ

Why is everyone talking about twins? Even the thought scares me to death! I do salute and bow down before twinny (or more ) parents!

MoosMa · 03/03/2008 15:36

I know a lady with triplets! They're 16 now, 2 boys and a girl. Her DH left when they were 5 and she's managed all by herself! And she works, and they'll lovely

MoosMa · 03/03/2008 15:36

They're all, I mean [duh]

NatalieJane · 03/03/2008 15:39

See, that, is an amazing story, I'd find it hard enough with one on my own!

Would be quite empowering though...! If you can get through that, you could get through anything!

MoosMa · 03/03/2008 15:43

I quite agree, I'd love to have twins (would be a sneaky way of getting more DCs!) but not sure I'd cope. My DB's 2nd turned out to be 2nd and 3rd! He's got 3 girls within 2 years!

Playingthewaitinggame · 03/03/2008 15:45

I was close friends with triplets at school. They were supposed to be dc3!
