The addictable wagoners have abandoned the waterlogged field back to the safety of the Wagon (with Spa facilities). Thread for those waiting to TTC, those TTC now and other graduates alike!!

[GYo]

New thread over here!!

Morning cal, tink, ses

quick hi and catch up

Yey for another BFP Ses! Hope you will believe it now! That test things sounds very cool!

Cal- glad you are feeling ok and also have another week and half before going back to work.
Tink- good luck for DD at nursery.

Hi everyone else-

No porridge here today so if anyone is making some..... please send over!

Morning ladies!

Ses, glad the test reconfirmed what you knew . I've got one of those too, I'm hoping my AF will be late just so I can use it. It's due today at the latest so here's hoping (as you know we haven't really been trying this month but there's still a tiiiiny chance)

Cal at your poo, that reminds me of being up in the nigt once and thinking there was something really wrong with me as I had terrible stomach pains but then I had the shits lol

Tink - Hope dd's 1st day goes well

Hi to everyone else, off to fill in my temp on ff . Back later.

Sorry GYo - no porridge here - just off to work (having been MNing checking emails at home so far this morning)
Won't be around much later as going out after work for a meal with some old work colleagues. Thank goodness I'll have the excuse of a long drive home for not drinking

I think I'm starting to believe it but doesn't stop me worrying about what might go wrong again. I think I'll fully accept it once I've had a scan and heard a heartbeat.

Morning Dal (sorry x-post!)

You never know, you may get a suprise this month...

ooh enjoy your meal out Ses.

Good morning

Phew, first morning back all done and sorted, where's that etch-a-sketch gone?

Tink hope DD went in well, and that you let her go in well! Still remember DS1's first morning at nursery, I'd not had more than a couple of hours away from him in his whole life, he skipped in, I ran home (after giving instructions to the nusery teachers to ring me is he cried - ever!) and bawled my eyes out LOL Still remember ringing DH wailing "he doesn't love me, he didn't even turn round to see me go" LOL PFB??? All the way! LOL Poor old DS2, when it's his turn, he'll be dumped and I'll be off!

And talking of DS2, he walked all the way No double buggy for me

Cal glad things are coming to an end, I haven't texted (text?? texted? texted sounds wrong, but it's right isn't it? not sure now...), thought you might want some space, but if you ever want to chat, you know where I am, what ever time OK?

And GREEDY MO is no more How great was that?!! And Kat I am glad she has gone, she had a big thing with Darnell because he joked he would vote her out, didn't give a shit that Mo had said the same but half seriously, and then cried her heart out when Mo went.... Synical? Me? Yep!

What a waffle, sorry

Hi again,

Another question for those who know about temping.

Why does it say on the calender that my 'test day' should be aweek after my AF is due? I thought you tested around the time it was due or a few days after? I apparently ovulated on CD17, is it to do with that?

Glad my poo has brought so many 's to the wagon this morning!!

Tink - hope your DD was OK going to nursery this morning, I bet she loves it!

I feel wicked when I tell people that DS is in nursery when I'm at home, but he really does have sooo much more fun there. He laughs and giggles all day and has good friendships at nursery. He also has free access to loads of toys and messy play that I simply would never do at home!

Lol NJ - took me a while but guess that's BB you're talking about, not eastenders?

I am taking a stab in the dark here, but I think if your temps stay high for 18 days after OV, then you are considered pregnant by FF and told to test to confirm. Obviously if your period did show up before those 18 days then you're not pregnant so don't need to test.

There was a time we all waited for a week after period due to test, and I am sure a lot of people who haven't been taken over by MN would still wait a week. It seems you only get addicted to testing once you've found MN!

Oooh, sorry Dal, not ignoring you, x-posted! I don't know the answer I'm afraid...but...I'd say the longer you leave it to test, the better it is as the result is more reliable. Also, by leaving it till a week after AF, you reduce the risk of picking up a positive for a chemical pregnancy that doesn't last.

What goes against this is the marketing by all the POAS manufacturers that keep developing these 'early' tests which don't really do us any favours - it just perpetuates impatience and disappointment.

Hmmm Didn't think I had such a strong anti-opinion but there we go!

I still use them all, btw, the early tests...

LOL Cal, c'mon woman, get wit' it, you gotta be down in da hood to swing it in here girl LOL

Yes, BB, love it or hate, only 3 days to go Then I can switch my attentions back to DH

Oh right I see, thanks ladies

I don't think I am but as I've been thinking about it over the last week or so I've kind of got in to the mindset of hoping I am and now I find myself wishing my AF is not going to arrive cause I think i'm going to be dissapointed when it does .

It's going to be so hard waiting till Jan!

My temp dipped a bit today so probably get AF soon . I'm not that good at taking my temp at the same time each day as it depends if I wake up with dh's alarm or when ds wakes. Got lots of white dots on my chart, it still detected ov though?!

I'll try and link to it if anyone wants a look here

just seen on the miscarriage board that monkeybumsmum is going through a mmc at the moment, from experience I'm sure she'd appreciate some support over here

Thanks guys. x

hi guys!! have taken ur advice and hubby and i are at it at least every other day !!

last month was first month of trying but AF came with a vengeance, i wasted 3 pg tests last month!! will ensure i wait til at least when AF is due this time, no point wasting money and getting hopes up by testing loads now is there?!!!!

thanks for all the advice, really appreciate it!!

Good on you Clairey! Fingers crossed for a quick BFP for you

Hi GYo, what are you up to today?

well dd went in we are picking her up in ten minutes. i went to sainsbury and did food shop got myself a grey winter coat in a size 20 2 accomadate bump was £25.

Tink - Glad all went ok with dd, that coat sounds a bargain!

Hi Cal - today Im working in the office even er - been working at home looking after DH for last 2 days. Means less time for MNing working silently and making progress

Though I am thinking of going to buy some shoes in my lunchbreak- good retail therapy need something smart looking that is comfy enough to walk to and from station in as well as not making me look about 60. Quite a challenge-

What about you Cal- are you planning anything nice to treat yourself this week or next? a real life Wagon spa treatment ?

Well, GYo, have been thinking about it...also wanted to tell someone as am sadly rather excited....

I've bought a new bed mattress! I've wanted one for years. We've got an Ikea bed and mattress and I truly hate it - I can feel all the springs.

We ordered a replacement last Septemeber but idiot me ordered the wrong size...so got it collected and never got round to replacing it again.

It should be delivered next week!

Also, I've been thinking about some real life spa treatment....top of the list is an eyebrow re-shape as they've gone cRaZy and I can't trim them as much as they need doing...and was considering.............gulp................a bikini wax, which I've never done before but thought it might be a nice surprise for DH?! Will probably chicken out though.

What do you reckon? WOnder if perhaps a massage might be better

God, it really is like tumble weed in here today....

GYo (and any other lurkers) I've also bought a rubber broom . I'm utterly fed up of having a lounge carpet that permanently looks like I've never hoovered because of the dog fur that clings, despite a very good vacuum cleaner. I'm hoping it does the trick and plan to introduce my cleaners to it....

Hmmmm, have just read that waxing is more painful around time of period so guess now maybe just as bad a time.

Perhaps I'll have a manicure instead - I'm sure DH will be just as delighted

OOh lovely to get a new mattress. Very exciting indeed. That will be nice treat when it arrives!

Great about planning some spa treatments.... can you find somewhere that lets you go for whole day? can lounge by a pool have couple of things done? I say have massage and eyebrows...maybe a facial too? Im a woooss re bikini waxes... prefer the trim method (sorry TMI)so not the right person to encourage...

Let me know how you go with the rubber broom.. I have similar issue with cat hair!

No shoe shopping... wasnt time in the end and I didnt want to be rushed... maybe tomorrow
