The addictable wagoners have abandoned ship - to a field.... for waiting to TTC'ers and TTC'ers alike, all welcome!!!

[NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain]

Thought someone had better do it! Hope titles OK?

Huge congrats again Gruff

wayyyy too many smilies in there.....

Morning NJ..... !
V impressed with all your work in the bathroom. I completely agree with you about carpet in the bathroom - not right!

Well it's definitely looking like ov pains as I had a drop in my temp this morning just like I did last cycle on ov day. Don't remember ever getting pains like this before though and I've not had a +ve OPK yet! Think I'll just go with it and see what happens...
NOOOOOoooo! "go with it and see what happens"????!!!! Even as I typed that I thought no way - that's far too relaxed and I'm actually more worrying about whether I am actually ovulating this cycle and whether we'll have enough well timed GOFing and how it just has to be our month!

Yesterday we managed our dog walk - we did between 5 and 6 miles cross country, so not too bad!
Hope everyone's doing ok this morning? It's been raining all night here.

Morning . I have been snorting my porridge out all over the computer after reading about Nat's 'cum' (so to speak) . DDs are looking are looking up from Scooby Do looking quite bemused!.
Bathroom sounds great - really stylish, plus black towels are genius .
SES, go with the flow sounds good, if quite unrealistic . Seriously though, sounding really postive re: temps etc. I am very excited for you! How many months were you trying for last time? (sorry if that's too nosey!).
CD 2 here, and period pains for the first time in, ooh, about 25 years . Not too bad though, and already looking forward to next week . Have been reading this book by Dr. Marilyn Glenville and following her nutritional advice etc, but she does suggest waiting 3 months so that the sperm/egg etc that are produced yield the benefits of the new diet/supplements. I see her point, but I think we'll still start this month as age is against me (and dh!)and who knows it may well take 3 months plus anyway.
Rain here too , and have stupidly promised dds we'll make a pie with the blackberried they collected yesterday. How the hell do I make a pie? Just two layers of rolled out pastry me thinks? Need Glask to point me in right direction (or any other pie experts out there!).

Morning Deige! Not too nosey at all! Basically we got married June 2006 and I had been on the depo injection for about 18 months. Was due my next jab in August 2006 and didn't have it so in theory we'd been hoping since then. We did know though that it can take about a year to get your fertility back after the injection so I guess that takes us to August 2007 and then found out we were pregnant on Valentines Day this year. Sorry for the long explanation but I would say the short answer is about 6 months!

Sounds like you're eagerly anticipating your full on GOFing! I'd say just go for it!

Re pie, I think you're right. I'm more a home made crumble kinda gal but I did make an apple pie once. I think the only mistake I made was not enough filling.

Morning everyone.

Rubbish wet day again- where IS the summer.

Need to catch up on weekend posts but it did laugh a lot at the "cum" thing just now. People in my silent office must think Im mad

Been up a ladder painting all weekend. Now aching in places I didnt know about about! And why does being pregnant make it such hard work!?

Roll on the long weekend

Thanks SES . Think 6 months is pretty good going; took me 5 with dd3 but this time only a month - was an odd month as waiting for all clear after smear, so only had full explosion towards end of cycle when ewm was well gone. Have wondered ever since if mc was because of a bad egg, but no doubt just a random event (fingers crossed). I also have good feelings about this month - May would be a lovely month to have a baby!
GYO, good going on decorating up that ladder - no wonder you feel shattered! How are you feeling at the mo'?
Well dds are asking to get dressed, so back later

Morning Diege, Got everything crossed for you this month May is definately a great month to have a baby, Spring/early Summer is a lovely time of year. But then June is a good month too (I would say that since its my b'day month )

Thanks for asking, I'm actually quite good. Im 10wks tomorrow and think Im beginning to feel generally less tired unless I do something energetic like painting! I seem to have escaped the really bad MS with only a bit of nausea so Im still ravenously hungry most of the time.

Looking fwd to the 12wk scan 2wks on Friday.

That's good GYO Can't believe you're 10 weeks tomorrow . Really does only seem like yesterday that you got your BFP!

hi nemo good luck

Hi tinks - wow good going on the e-bay! Sounds like you have some good shopping plans there .
Hi NEMO and welcome . I am also ttc no.4, after mmc at 10 weeks in July. I have 2 winter (Nov) and one summer baby (July) and def found summer a the best .

Welcome Nemo!

This is a great thread!

your ebaying sounds good tink!! I just sold a desk, and have some clothing selling atm... going to put it towards baby bits after our 12wk scan... won my sister a lovely peter rabbit bouncy chair for £2.76 last night, and i kinda wanna keep it myself as we had a blazing row last night!!

found out she's been going out drinking and falling down hills she's been so drunk!! and she's been sleeping around while pg too!! I'm so upset and angry with her!! I just blew my top and told her she needs to grow up a lot before she can bring a child into the world!!

Morning all.
Diege - good news about AF. Really glad to hear you sounding so positive, think that's brilliant!
Re. pie - crumble is much better. You cook up the berries with a bit of sugar for sweetening and then top with crumble mixture and cook in oven. Traditional crumble mixture is flour, butter and sugar either rubbed between fingers to make breadcrumbs, or mixed in mixer. BUT, I prefer an oaty topping - use your porridge oats with butter and sugar mixed together to top fruit. Is kind of like having flapjack on top of berrries - in that case I don't put too much sugar in fruit, so you get a nice contrast of sharp berries with sweet topping. OTOH, I am no good at pastry!!
Welcome Nemo!
Glask - sorry to hear about your sister and your row.

Morning, am about to scoot off to MW appt, fingers crossed its a good one.

Starshine - please reassure me that I haven't just made a really bad gaff on the March thread? Please?

C

Cals- I read the curry comment, dont think its a gaff at all- you were just making the point

Good luck with MW

Hello Nemo! This does seem to be a v lucky thread so you've joined the right one!

Cal - hope all goes well with MW. Let us know!

Glaskham - I'm not suprised you had a row with your sister! Hope she'll realise and start looking after herself and her LO.

GYo - Can't believe you've been up a ladder painting too!! What's come over everyone??!! Actually, I normally find it v satisfying. I might just wait for our move before I join you

Yay! Advantages of working from home today... Just done OPK and it's +ve Also a fair bit of EWCM and it all coincides with temp dip and same ov day as lst cycle!!

Let's just hope DH doesn't have a stressful day at work and comes home prepared to do some GOFing!!

Hi, I haven't had time to read through but will catch up properly later, I've only just got back from MW and she was lovely. As anticipated she's put my EDD as 17th of March based on LMP but expects they will adjust when they have a scan. Went through all history and she was a bit horrified but she reassures me she will be working to make sure I don't go through the same issues as last time. I've had bloods done already so that's better than last time as they weren't done till 16 weeks first time round - then they lost them! I'd forgotten about that until this morning.

Good news is only two weeks to wait for the scan, its booked for 3rd September and more good news is that my postcode now does nuchal testing which they didn't last time round.

Best scoot as need to do some work, I'll catch up properly later.

thanks all for the welcome have added myself to the list
