NJ's done it now,we're all heading that way! - Tests,temping and tantrums - a thread for ppl TTC and waiting!

[nobodyputsBBinthecorner]

here we are all in honour of NJ's BFP!!

Morning! . Cals, the fcat that your cv has not dried up is a postive sign I would say..in fact lots of cm after ov has always been a sign of pregnancy for me.... Love the piccy of your ds on the slide, he looks very cute and grown up all at the same time!
Squack, your chart looks quite good to me! Yes, 5-five well-deserved I'd say!!
Had a bit of a lie-in this morning, so feeling quite refreshed for a change . Hoping the lovely weather will hold up - I've just done the old self-tanning lark...on past experience though, rain might be needed tomorrow so I can cover up over the streaks!! Digestive biscuits anyone?

CM, not CV ; I bet you CV is just fine...

Lol, Yeah, CV recently updated coz I hate my boss and am underpaid - makes me sick coz I know I can get about an extra 10k if I move jobs now, but timing is just so wrong in terms of DS and wanting a DC2. Its not all about money though is it?

Still no AF this morning but I'm in a foul mood which is another fairly good sign of AF being on her way

I know what you mean Cals. I was in the same position as you last year, and managed to get myself a new job that started last September - amazing boss, better conditions, marginally more money. One of the reasons for putting off ttc was to get my feet under the table in the new job before a bfp, though in retrospect I think I was a bit of a control freak about it all as ttc may take many more months!! I'd say there's nothing to stop you ttc and looking for a new job at the same time - companies cope, and you would be happier too in a better job?
Fingers crossed af doesn't arrive anyway - the symptoms are so similar for each it's a nuightmare trying to second guess!

However I have to agree with Diege in that each time I've been pg my CM has been abundant. Where's your chart? Do you have one?

Nat the cycle you got +ve 9 days after your period was due were you able to pinpoint Ovulation exactly?

Maybe there's hope. I wonder why you didn't get a positive until 9 days later....weird? Did anyone give you a reason why?

It's a glorious day here, been and weeded the garden, planted some spring onions and peas. Washing hanging out, more in.
Both of their Literacy work completed, Dh off to do shopping with Dd, baby asleep, Ds1 building a town with bricks.

Pretty productive day so far

Where is everyone?

Someone distract me quick!

I need a wee and I have loads of cheepy sticks

I wonder how many messages I can get before someone else posts?

Nat a question for later, what exactly are you busy with this week, I don't think I've read a post with your plans?

There are 710 messages so far.

I going to aim for 720 before anyone else posts hehehe!

Now I really need a wee, don't anyone post until I get back

Have you had a wee then? . Was there a stick involved??? . Oh come on now, you can't just disappear!!!!
Same sort of day here, dds playing, scattered throughout the house, dh doing things in the garage , me trying to get a lecture written/washing sorted/kitchen tidied, a million essays marked, beds changed, as you do...
Will 'hover' squack..

-VE

aaaargggh! I'm getting really pissed off!!

I'm not testing anymore until wednesday

Oh no!!!! . Tis a bad business this testing lark, we should all be certified..
Think next week is a good plan . Don't be too disheartened, it will happen when it happens (and a good chance that'll be next week )

Hi all. Anyone about? Feeling really sad and very grump today.

DH is really pi**ing me off, the house is a real mess (coz I haven't kept on top of it) and he promised that he'd help me tidy it up today.

His work have given him opportunity to accept some corporate hospitality - a four day break in bulgaria - so he has immediately had to rush off to get some kit for the trip and despite being out yesterday and having plenty of opportunity, decides this morning he needs another pair of shoes.

I REFUSE to be left at home tidying whilst he goes out so went with him, contain his shopping spree (he's got more clothes and shoes than me by far!). We've been back a couple of hours, eaten and done an hours tidying, and he's announced he's got to go to work....

Right, so its ten to jeffing four on a Sunday, not even one room has been successfully tidied - to my standards (a normal persons standards, just a lot higher than DH's) and now there's only me and DS here until DH gets back. When it will be tea time, DS bath time, then he'll be in bed.

I'm fed up of this, I don't know why I thought TTC was a good idea I must be fuxxing mad.

Mine's the same if that's any comfort

I've just packed them all off to MIL (Dh included obv) as I'm sick of hearing them today.

I can hear birds-a-cheeping and keys-a-tapping an' that's it

sorry about the rant. DS has finished tantrums and has fallen asleep on the beanbag whih means he won't go to bed tonight till god knows when but I couldn't keep him awake any longer.

I have the sound of keys tapping and cbeebies....guess I could turn that off. Feeling a bit more relaxed now.

Ignore the rant. I love DH very much, he's just so bloody good at getting out of housework - except for loading / unloading the dishwasher and vacuuming. If I didn't work full time too, I could forgive it a lot easier.

Its like he can't see the mess / dirt etc.

Me and MN for another five mins when I'll wake DS up.

Rant away!

I'm obsessing about my cycle, my chart, my temps etc in private because Dh said it's turned me into a loony this week

I'm soooo tired as well, which I'm sure is not helping matters.

My Dh is also pretty good, he tries his best but is frustratingly slow and it's not big on his list of priorities so it's never as thorough as I like it. Totally know what you mean

Squack, I think I'm in exactly the same boat as you, DH had a dig about the amount of time I spend on MN too, and I don't think its that much!

I'm absolutely shattered - we've had broken nights for the last couple of weeks with DS' teething and work has been very demanding, lots of travel and meetings.

I am obsessing a lot bit about my cycle etc too, I don't have a chart on FF, I just have a basic spreadsheet that I've been using to track details, cycle dates, 'symptoms' etc. I've had really sore boobs all week - including shooting pains on a couple of days, very tired (DS waking up lots), stroppy and tearful (normally one or the other, but tears are because I'm convinced I'm not and I really want to be).

Although have been a bit obsessive about the state of the house which I'm guessing is you may have spotted already?

Bugger it all, why does having children have to be so difficult.

lol it's only when Dh speaks that I find it difficult.

I'm on an emotional rollercoaster too atm and i HATE it. I'm not used to mood swings at all and I'm taking rather badly to them.

I have one FR in the cupboard (apart from the ebay ones obv) and it's calling me, but I'm being really good and I'm telling y self that I did O later than ff thinks, that I'm only 8dpo, which is too early to test and I'll pee on it when I'm 10dpo.

Denial, moi?

I've got an acon ealy response lurking upstairs, but i don't want to see a -ve, so i'll just cling on to slight glimmer of hope for as long as AF will let me.

Hold on the tests girls!! . Big sympathies for PITA dh's (have just been reading a thread about a horid dh on AIBU thread). Know what you mean about having to just get them 'out', though then you're left with the mess... I'm lucky that we do share things, what with us both working, although if I'm honest I'm stuck with the drudgery (washing, ironing, bed changing etc) while dh does shopping and most of the cooking. Of course MIL thinks I'm so lucky that he 'helps', arghhhh!!!! Seriously though, hope your mood improves Squck, and that you get some well deserved rest too Cals
