Still TTC, PPP and waiting to CCC - one down, and more than enough optimism to go around!

Right, so I can't start this thread using anything like..."Here we go ladies!"

So, will have to come up with something completely different....

How about Congratulations Kay!

I think OV sticks are one of those things, you either give in and devote your life to, or you fight the urge and go it alone!

I would think really speaking you should give it at least 6 months before you start anything like that, IMO all things like that do is put soooooo much more pressure and strain into an already stressful time. But as I say that is my opinion, and you can do what ever you want.

I have been told though that they are not always correct, you can easily mis-understand them, and then you are in a no better position than not using them.

Welcome back though It has been a while!! 4 weeks to go eh? Exciting!!

happynappies · 08/04/2008 16:08

Thanks NJ - I know exactly what you mean about more pressure in an already stressful time. Feel stressed already!!! which isn't exactly the way to ttc, I know! Am part excited, and part terrified. Funny how May has come around very quickly!!

NatalieJane · 08/04/2008 16:13

I think it is always half exciting half terrifying, and the fear that rips through you when you see that BFP almost over takes the excitment, so many ups and downs, on top of the TTC'ing stresses.

Still, we have MN to moan unload on to, because let's face it the DH's are pretty useless in such circumstances!!

happynappies · 08/04/2008 16:15

Yep - dh is completely 'lets just see how it goes' and doesn't understand why I'm neurotically scanning ttc threads, and permanently asking questions. Reading up on childbirth like theres no tomorrow because really want it all to be different this time. Where are you at NJ? Are you testing/waiting/trying...

NatalieJane · 08/04/2008 16:18

First month properly off the wagon this month, but only on CD3 or 2 (or is it 4?!!) or something like that! I don't bother counting till I get the EWCM then I know things are hotting up! Means I can spend at least the first half of the month in relatively peaceful ignorance!!

DH's never quite get it, until the baby is born, then it smacks them in the face all at once. Poor things, they don't have the whole build up thing that we get!

happynappies · 08/04/2008 16:21

Better go get dd up - she's been napping for a long time this pm. Will be back with plenty more questions no doubt! See you soon.

NatalieJane · 08/04/2008 16:24

OK, see you soon

lardylumps · 08/04/2008 17:13

I am on CD15 today and if my cycle is like last month then I am on the 2 WW... Still going to gof everyday until Friday though just to be on the safe side.

I think I must of imagined the mouth thing yesturday because I woke up fine this morning, mind playing tricks on me I think.

I have just asked work for extra hours so fingers crossed for me as DP has been given two weeks notice

lardylumps · 08/04/2008 17:27

Diege are you there, have you tested yet young lady?????

NatalieJane · 08/04/2008 17:29

Awww bummer about the notice, that I expect is a bit of a shock after the original 3 months he was told

Good about your other little problem though.... see, you never needed to tell us everything after all!!

Will keep fingers crossed for your extra hours

Right I am off to do tea, see you all tomorrow (unless I sneak back in a bit!! xxx

lardylumps · 08/04/2008 17:31

you have to sneak back to see if diege comes on....... SHe hasn't replied to your horn...

Cosmogirl · 08/04/2008 17:56

Hi ladies,

Sorry haven't had time to catch up yet. CD 52 here. Still no sign of AF. I think I've forgotten what a period feels like! Hoping I am like Tink and it turns up on CD55. If not, seems eight years on the pill really has confused the poor old hormones...

NatalieJane · 08/04/2008 18:06

LOL LL, "you have to sneak back to see if diege comes on....... SHe hasn't replied to your horn..." that sounds very ahem.... norty

Hiya Cosmo, still no period eh? Have you tested?

Diege · 08/04/2008 18:12

I've got the horn . Well, I buckled under the pressure and did a test with my (arrived today) e-bay cheepies. BFN, so no surprise there! Pretty pleased (though a teenny bit disappointed ) as really did want to avoid xmas babe. Still no sign of af, but there again (last month apart) would be due on tomorrow on normal cycle.
My hope now is that af is as late as poss so that if I did get pregnant next month my sickness wouldn't kick in till mid-May. Not ideal with my job, but better than April sickness.
Will have a proper read through later

NatalieJane · 08/04/2008 18:14

Bugger, don't give up just yet, we all know how crap the cheapies are, and that they don't mean a thing. I want at least hourly updates tomorrow as to what is happening re. period or no show, and I want a test done on Thursday (not Friday please, I won't be here!!) Thankyoumuchly

lardylumps · 08/04/2008 18:19

I agree with NJ you must keep us posted..

NatalieJane · 08/04/2008 18:19

You've been told now Diege, no getting out of it!

Should check what that burning smell is coming from the oven really, shouldn't I?!!

Diege · 08/04/2008 18:21

Oh I will - that horn did my head in, what with the Duke of Hazards theme...
Moosma, we need words...I have just looked at your 'loft creatures' pictures and feel . No that's not envy . The eye popping is just too gross!!!

MoosMa · 08/04/2008 18:26

I know, it made me a bit [vom] too, it all started because of this picture from my brother.

MoosMa · 08/04/2008 18:27

And sorry for your BFN, roll on next month.....

Cosmogirl · 08/04/2008 19:29

Hi NJ,

Nah, am abstaining...LOL....no really I am

So yea, no babies here for sure. Just wish the evil witch would hurry up so I know what's going on. grrrrr

lardylumps · 08/04/2008 20:06

Right i am off so see you tomorrow..

NatalieJane · 08/04/2008 20:42

God it has just taken me an age to find Moos eye popping pictures, Diege you could have left some sort of scooby type clue as to where to look!! You lot should know by now, I am far too nosy to let things go over my head!!

Of course Cosmo, I forgot about the whole 'Thou shalt not have sexual intercourse until the menstrual period is upon thee' thing..... you are one hard brave brave brave woman!!

I have just had a lovely bath, with the whole bathroom to myself with no one coming in to go a wee, no one coming in to check that this vest is OK for DS2, or that it is OK for DS1 to read a book for a while, and no one to tell me to hurry up (which is a first I think!!)

Dh has the football on, so I am surplus to supply tonight, so I thought I'd come on here for a natter and you have all buggered off. Tut Oh well, might have to go and put the switch card to some use....!

kayzisexpecting · 08/04/2008 20:44

Evening all,

Got more evening sickness. I have been at work this evening and the food has made me feel awful.

kayzisexpecting · 09/04/2008 07:42

Morning!

I am still feeling a bit sick. I hope its not going to last all day as I am at work this morning.

Hope you all have good days.
