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!!

Ooh calsworld just wanted to add that i never get spots and last month (pg, but early miscarriage) I broke out all over.

This month was okay until 2 days ago when I started breaking out again, not only on my face but a couple on my chest as well (bleurggh!).

Your EWCM/O date on the 17th and light bleed 10 days later could well be implantation bleed. 10 days is a short LP.
I think you should test.

My temp plunged this morning, don't know what to think.

Dh offered me a glass of wine last night and I didn't feel like it

Morning . DH back today, and now craving even the hint of a lie-in!! Have been up since 6.15, but only now sufficently awake now to put finger to keyboard .
Wow Squack, that's some willpower ; going off wine is a v.good sign too. Wouldn't read too much into temp drop; I think just a case now of sitting it out until next test day! Must be hard emotionally for you after the cp of last month, so hold on in there!
Cosmo, you are being very rational about it all ..yes, makes sense what you say, but would a teeny test just, sort of, confirm things either way??
Hi Star . Happy to offer my take on the career/home thing. I've also (this year) gone from 5 days a week to 'technically' 4 (ie, full time squeezed into 4 days, but then only getting a 0.8 wage . Having said that, they let me claim back days in lieu to add to hols allowance if I find myself working on the Fri, or away at Conference etc. It's not too bad. I do love my work, it's part of who I am, and however exhausting I would keep on doing it rather than not I think. I couldn't do it I don't think unless me and dh did childcare/sick cover 50/50. Taking this into account, travel for work (once a month to Cardiff, plus 5/6 times a year away for a few days at Conferences)dh just makes sure he's able to do the drop oiioffs/collections when I'm away. He can also take a day off on the rare occasion I have to be away on my 'day off'. Then he can go in on a Sat, say, and make up his hours if necessary. It is all extremely hectic and quite fraught at times. I approach it like an althelete, ; health foods (ahem), or failing that lots of choccy and coffee, early nights and no alcohol! A wall-chart from 'organised mum' company is also invaluable so that you can keep parties etc in your mind!
Gosh I have gone on . See you don't need to step outside the cosy wall of the wagon- we truly are a one-stop shop

Oh meant to say Kay, reins are brill (we have dora the explorer backpack ones) but there may come a time when ds starts playing silly buggers like my dd3 has ; ie, dead weight drops on floor, free fall parachute style, twirling etc...My friend says this is when the wrist straps can be good!

Good morning BFP again this morning

DH has had to go into work, so will be around for a bit today.

Cosmo/Tink, I always go the other way in early early pregnancy (i.e. before you find out), skin like a baby's bum, now I am looking more like a spotty teenager! Cos, I'm with Diege, a teeny tiny test won't hurt just to give you reassurance

Squack hope the temp. drop is a red herring.

I am going to go into town and get a proper test, should I go for FR's or plump for the CBD's? Don't want to risk the CBD coming back neg, it will scare the shit out of me even though I know they are not as sensitive as the others, but at the same time, cannot wait to see it in words?

Oh and think we have worked out where this party is, at last.... though it turns out it is somewhere where you can make old fashioned washing detergent??? Great party for 6 year old boys that....

Morning!

I have got spots on my neck and bleeding gums. I didn't have them before my BFP. So
TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get a FR Nat, they are more sensitive! Sounds like a strange party IMO!

I have stopped worrying. We made some egg mayo yesterday for lunch today and I have made myself a egg mayo sandwich for breakfast!!

Think I might get both LOL

The party, the invite says the Bubble Factory, now, the Bubble Factory is where they can make washing powder (still at that) and within the same building they have a Mr. Bubbles play cantre (soft play) So I am wondering if the mum means the soft play, but calls it the Bubble Factory? Which is a bit silly if you ask me, especially because if that is the case, she has given out invites to the wrong place, with no address, and it is in a different town to us Obviously I could just ring her and ask, but I much prefere to sit back and judge from a distance!!

We had an old fashioned but bloody scrummy boiled pots, salad and lamb chops last night, now I am not very ladylike and always leave the chops till last so I can pick them up and pull them apart rather than muck about trying to cut piddly little bits of meat out of them, so I ate my potatoes and salad, picked up first chop, ate a bit it tasted absolutely disgusting, honestly it tasted dirty, so I put it down and picked up the next one and it was exactly the same I couldn't eat it, and we have £15 worth of leg of lamb lined up for Sunday dinner.....

LOL, Maybe they are going to be making some washing powder.

I hate lamb, I just can't eat it at all but when I was pregnant with DS I really wanted some.

Ds is still walking round this morning. DH rang MIL last night and she said it was probably a one of and he wouldn't walk today. But he has.

OOOOH

I've just looked it up and I've been there. I thought it rang bells. When I was with my ex who lived near there his mum took me there one day while he was at Uni.

Morning Nat . Agree with Kay, a first response would be a better bet than a CB digi! Party sounds weird ; is that what you lot in Accrington get up to?? .
Cooking dds a mixed breakfast of scrambled eggs, quorn sausgaes and a pain au chocolat. Have just had 4 millie's cookies myself with my coffee, so am on the ceiling . Trip to Salford Quays yesterday with friend from nov05stream was ace - spent too much money (got a gorgeous summer dress from Whistles reduced from £110 to £30, and a size 8 too and lots of reduced nightwear from M&S for dds. So v.happy, but broke!! Poor friend who is 27 weeks with twins looks like she is fit to burst!

Oswaldtwistle Mills? LOL Small world! It is about a mile and a half away from our house!! LOL

I know what you mean about fit to burst Diege. One of my 4 friends expecting twins is 33 weeks and she look massive. She is starting to get really fed up now. She can hardly walk.

Morning Diege

Nope, most deffo not what we get up to! Never heard of a party for making washing powder...! Am seriously hoping she does mean the soft play, DS1 will be bored out of his brains with the former!

Bargains to be had by all! Though you do now realise that you will be huge by the time the sun comes out enough to wear a nice dress?!!

Glad you both had a good time though, after the last time...! Shushhhhhhhhhhh (they have been talking about us on the other thread y'know, wouldn't want to give them any more amunition to call us all Huns )

oh nat just seen this

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS[GRIN] [GRIN]

See we are so interesting and wonderful they have to talk about us!!

Yes Nat I have been there. I thought the making washing powder rang a bell. My ex lives(might not now) in Summerseat near Bury.

Just looked the their thread Someone called BB a BINT!

[snort]yes I know Kay . You know Nat I never thought about the dress and a bump , though I'm sure it will be autumn by the time I get pregnant!

morning ladies
7dpo for me my spots on my neck look gross

i am testing in a week

Morning Tink.

Not long until you test now!!!

I am really tired this morning. Going to mums to show off DS walking!

Hi Tink . You are very restrained in your testing!! How many months have you been 'temping' out of interest?

this is only my first month of temping

Wow, I thought you were an old pro!
