I'll try again.
Hi everyone, how are you all! I have been trying to keep off mn as I was getting a little obsessed, though while I wasn't on mn I was compiling a list of things to buy when we do have a baby, where to buy it from and how much it cost. By the way how much do you think is reasonable to spend on all the stuff you dirst need. I can provide a list of what I intend to buy if anyone is interested!!
A goof friend of mine has just anounced that she is pg, so I am really happy for her but also really is that really bad? Am I the worst person in the world!
My AF is due tomorrow though I haven't ben cramping today which I normally do, and though were not trying till next month we did have sex this month (obviously) but we don't use condoms at the minute (ran out and they're crap here) so relying on the withdrawal method which means that technically I COULD be pregnant (Its so easy to convince myself!) Also all yeaterday I was going to the toilet all day and I don't think I had drank more than usual!! I need to stop convincing myself!
Dawn How are you? I'm praying your AF doesn't arrive for you! I have only told my best non judgemental friend Hope your test goes well (if you get there!) I think its best that you don;t buy them until you have missed a AF otherwise your too tempted to test early, though I did buy some when I went to UK (can't find them on the shelf here and don't want to have to ask!)
Also struggling to fone folic acid, I did find some but it was 5mg and the NHS only reccomend that you take 0.4mg daily, is this right?? I don't want to have to go to the docs here yet!
Flirty well done on the healthyness!! I have been really bad for the last week and I am going to have a curry tonight! Everything in moderation!!
Kalikaroo Hi! I good luck ttc!! I have only told my best non judgemental friend that we are ttc, like yours it would spread like wildfire if I told one family member and I don't want the pressure. ANd when we do get pg we won't tell ANYONE till the 12 week scan, although I think if people who are close to us blantantly ask I don't think its fair to lie plus i'm not very good at it! The only other person who knows we are ttc is my housekeeper and thats only because of all the books laying round the house!!
Crunchy the baby stuff sounds so cute I love that its becoming a more English thing to do, not just for the presents (obviously there an added+ ) but I think its lovely to be able to sit round with the girls and just chat about it all!! Luckily if I am still here when I get pg, all my friends are Amercian so would def be having one! yey!! I too just can't wait to be pg and keep willing my body to do it! Especially with all the problems my mum had (she was ttc for 10 years before she had ivf!)
BSL I think you win the trophy for owning the most tests!! How is the non testing going have you crumbled yet! I know I would have!!
Summeerbird hello! Your co workers sound awful, Everyone who anounces they're pregnant should get massive congratulations and get told that you really can't tell (whether you can or not!) I hope when you get your BFP they are a little more supportive, or just don't ever tell them!
I can't remember who asked about the book for dads, but anyway I bought anotherone at the weekend (bad I know) called Dads Pregnant Too by Harlen Cohen, its an American one but is actually really good (I read it obviously!) very informative in a non "woah this is way too much info" info way and has tips etc and stories from other dads all the way through. My friend newly pg friend was saying she needs to buy books and I felt really bad knowing that I had loads I could lend her but won't because otherwise she would know TTC!
ANyway I think thats my long post over with! I am off to carry on looking at my lists as DP (shoked) wants to look at it when he gets in!! I think he's starting to get a bit more excited not the d day is finally aproaching!!
