i think back to the 2 weeks before i know i was pg with ds and i

  • got so drunk that a taxi driver threatened to throw us out of the cab because we were singing.

  • climbed onto the roof at work in torrential rain to unblock the guttering because the kitchen was flooding

  • drank 2 bottles of wine with lilsis and fell over trying to switch the security light on

  • got so stoned that i had to be put to bed

smoked a lot* of cigarettes and drank every night with the chefs after work

  • lived on as little food as possible and lots of strong coffee (was restaurant manager) working up to 18hrs per day.

and now i try to be the purest of the pure to concieve another dc. does it really make any difference?

I'm lovin this thread girls, I am in the same boat, have been trying for over a year to coneive #2 and can just not bloody get pregnant am convinced I'm trying to hard as my dd was conceived by pure accident whilst on the pill !! now I'm a vision of health ratteling with vitamins, counting days, checking my nickers and nothing !!!!! I'm having blood tests and scans dh has a better relationship with a cup than with me and still nothin, why bother maybe I should go back on the pill lol

Happyfaceschildcare - I sometimes feel the same about going back on the pill. I wonder too if going back on it for 3 months would actually mean I'll be more fertile when I come off it

My MIL spoke to me the other day and told me to 'relax and have fun with mrBeanieb' GROAN! By fun I think she meant 'have good enjoyable carefree sex' which makes me think either he's been talking to her (ERK!) or she thinks we don't do anything but have sex for babies!

happyfaceschildcare · 06/04/2009 11:43

Ooo not a conversation you want to have with your mother in law lol

Although I am at the stage now where I don't want to be trying for a baby anymore I am going to be more grateful for what I've got than focusing on what I haven't got, I'm still despirate for that baby but getting anxious about it isn't going to help so kind of see where she's coming from enjoyable care free sex sounds good to me

I regularly tempt fate wearing pristine white frilly knickers just to goad af... she always takes the bait (the bitch )

hey guys,

post last month and felt the same as you all.
guess whay am now pg 5+6 so 6 weeks tomorrow and sick as a dog today think am going to suffer with ms with this one as didnt with dd.

I was ttc for 5 yrs and have had 3mc so just wanted to say that although i am early and i hope this one sticks that you shouldnt give up there is hope i promise you.

HeadFairy · 06/04/2009 18:19

Congratulations Ray, so did you become a drug addict or what?

Hope the ms isn't too terrible ('s worth it in the end though isn't it? )

Well, you know how I was going to do as I fancied last month. I drank what I liked, dig lots of digging on the allotment, ate anything I chose...well I'm 6.5 weeks pg and signs are good that this one might (keeping everything crossed) hang around !

Scandalous mugging and waving to ray and wasabi!

hi ladies

just been reading your thread and it has really been making me laugh!! Congrats ladies on your BFP's !!
That's it Ive decided to be very naughty next month and NOT do the following:

  • take my temperature every bloody morning at 7am even on a weekend

  • say no to every night out which will include alcohol, just incase im PG!!

  • check my knickers and discharge for any sign of EWCM!! Sorry TMI

  • make note of every single solitary symptom. Even down to how long my farts are ha ha .... sorry!!

And i am going to do lots of digging in the garden, drink , eat and BD when i fancy!!

I have been ttc for about 2 years now, tried clomid for 6 months with no luck and am now on waiting list for ivf, which should be september!! So many of my friends and family have fallen pregnant, had their babies and are probably planning their next one!! I have tried IUI this month and am now on 2ww, so am going to get rat arsed and smoke a spliff to make me " relax " ha ha

Just wanted to say that I'm in the same place too. Got pregnant without trying the first time, she's now 4.5 and I really want another. We've been trying for 9 months now and I'm sick of it - monitoring this, that and the other. I don't care when AF is due anymore, and I refuse try very hard anyway to monitor my fertile days. Why bother? grrrrrrr
I'm now starting to think I should be grateful I've got DD and wean myself off wanting a baby . Doesn't help that she keeps asking for a brother AND a sister , she's got that guilt thing down to a tee....
Congrats to those who've had their BFPs
