Mid Thirties First time TCC

[donttrythisathome]

Anyone feel like joining this bus??

I'm 36, TCC 1, never wanted children and now have done a complete u-turn!

TCC 1, Cycle 2, UCL 28-33ish, CD12

Hmm, my DH is like your everyman of parties - he's bound to get involved whatever the booze/game.

Down to business:

TTC#1 CD 24 UC26-31 Cigarettes: 0 Units of alcohol: 8 on the weekend

Think that covers it.

ooh we're doing a list. i've never been in a list. always felt like it was tempting fate. or something.

TTC#1 Cycle 9, CD28 UCL29 Fags 0, Units of alcohol: yikes - shamefully 17. but in my defence over a 4 day weekend and as a knee jerk reaction to the Euromillions baby comment.

probaby nothing compared to laurielou, who i must admit i was just ridiculously proud of

anyhow - looks like i'm due for the big fat baby fail tommorrow. temp drop, spotting (cringe - hate that word) and mild eppy at boy last night. dead giveaway.

bah!

oh and have fun (and a cider) for all of us at glasto Sarah, be the first one i've missed in years. thought we'd be a little bit further on in the knocking up schedule by now [ahem]

must admit though, i did feel a little bit past it last year. lol

Oh balls, I am rubbish at these facts and figures things... I am Cycle 2 and I think it would be fair to add a further 4 units to that tally after last night.

In work far too early.............

Morning ladies,

Glad someone is proud of me cheggers . Had to drive past the sick-fest on the motorway earlier this week. Nearly added a speeding ticket to my week of shame as I put my foot down & looked the other way.

Stats for me.

TTC#1, CD (consults diary) 27, UCL 30-32 days, fags 0, alcohol units - your guess is as good as mine, soft cheese 1lb, pate 1lb, weight loss at fat club 3.5lb (hallelujah for being sick), swoon at babies 3, curse hellish toddlers 9.

Think that's my summary for the week, x

TTC#1, CD21, UCL, fags 0 (desired fags 1), alcohol units roughly 14, soft cheese 200g, pate 50g, ryvita 2, lard .5lb, stepchildren causing woe 2, parents warning me not to get pregnant too quickly after mc 1, parents coming down south to reinforce message 1.

Enjoy Glasto Sarah, watch out for the E.coli - I'm sure the Daily Mail wouldn't recommend a dose of that if you are a woman already in their view having left it far too late past the optimum age for childbirth of 26.

How is everyone today?

Ah yes, the Daily Mail article yesterday. I commented on that and got a delicious 161 "high-fives". If you're reading the comments, I posted at approx 11am and you know where I live. (that sounds mildly threatening!)

TTC#1 Cycle 8 CD21 UCL26 - going crazy symptom spotting.

Booze: 1 unit
Ciggies: 0 - cravings? fahsands

I don't see anything from your neck of the woods

Was it the article "Have a baby before 35..."?

Morning! ooh are we doing a list?

ttc1, cycle 4 (although month 6)CD 41, UCL [insert guess here], units alcohol [since when?] lots this week despite being on 2ww [well it's now at least a 3ww so I'm entitled to drown sorrows I think), pictures of new babies have found to be unnervingly like baby lizards 2, times changing mind about ttc 5

I loathe the DM and everythign it stands for but I did spot an article over someone's shoulder on the train about how cows were dangerous which supported my actions last time DH and I went for a lovely country walk... He thought I was over-reacting, but they were looking at me murderously.

Am not outdoorsy.

Ooh statistic time. Um ok.

TTC#1, Cycle 3, UCL anyone's guess, CD 13 (full on A-Game commenced last night, and mighty fine it was too! ), units alcohol last weekend 10ish, undercooked burgers on bbq 2, fags 0 (my body is a temple donchyaknow). Days till Birthday of Doom 52.

Right off to peruse the Hate Mail so I can find and get cross at afforementioned article.

Jesus I just looked at today's DM headlines and feel quite ill.

"Want to see a GP? Gipsies come first as NHS tells doctors that travellers must be seen at once "

"Mother who didn't know she was pregnant gave birth alone then killed her newborn baby out of shame"

and

"Not in my front yard! Join the Mail campaign to stop monstrous wheelie bins engulfing our streets "

I do love the DM's obsession with wheelie bins, they had an article a couple of years ago about Cowboy Binmen, which was hilarious.

trigger Yes, "have a baby before 35 you selfish caaaah or repent in hell" was the snappy headline. "What do you mean you needed a job to pay the rent & put food on the table whore?"

My name is Alexandra - just search the comments for that.

My horse is terrified of cows. Harleys no, military helis flying overhead in formation, no. 747 coming in to land, no. Doe-eyed Jersey cow makes her knees wobble and she goes boggly-eyed and foams at the mouth.

phew - finally finshed work "yesterday" at 5.36 am and back at desk by 9. Yes my life is totally compatable with being a mother not to mention wife

TTC#1, Cycle 3,UCL 26/27 (apparently), CD4, racking up to A game, Units of alcohol last weekend was unusal - I was out a lot so it does not count, never read DM but my wheelie bin is still 4 houses away from Tuesday morning

2 cats, 3 chicken, one dog in the planning stage......

48 days until the "birthday of doom" assuming that is the date at which apparently my ovaries will shrivel up

yup that's the one aussieng, the birthday before which we are supposed to have had a child in order for us not to be evil job preferring bitter old hags.

Argh - I was thinking of the other one! - I'm only 81 days away from Judgement Day in that case. And am apparently well on the way to being mumsy too, due to having a drawer dedicated to Tupperware/Lakeland items.

I posted in the other forum and have been invited to join the fun over here. Your posts are hilarious!
But - I'm not sure if I'm going to be allowed in as I'm still having a major freak out about whether or not I'm ready to start TTC yet...I'm teetering on the brink!
Am mid-thirties. Have anxiety. Have now worried myself into a corner - what if I do get up the duff? What if I don't? What if...what if...what if...argh!
Am I allowed to come and freak out here?

Oh yes, Winnie, you are in absolutely the right place. We're only ttc because the Daily Mail told us to. To be honest, I'm having major waverings still, though not as frequently as a few months back - now I'm annoyed I haven't concieved while simultaneously being relieved it isn't happening.

You should be aware that trog will turn your name into something rude... she's a troublemaker.

ps do you have the following;

a) love of gin (other alcoholic drinks are acceptible substitutes if quantities are maintained)
b) cats
c) cream/beige furnishings
d) unnatural love for Percy Pigs?

Oh the bloody Daily Mail and their scaremongering. They're either dissing teen mothers, late mothers or how 'fat' some skinny minnie looks on the beach. (Ye Gods! The woman has cellulite! Get back to a size 4 immediately, you size 6 fat freak, before Greenpeace harpoon you!) I've concluded they just hate women.
Sadly I do not drink, but have replaced alcohol free life with unhealthy chocolate obsession.
No pets as live in a rented flat, but flat does have cream walls and I dream of a white palace to live in.
There are currently two large packets of P Pigs sitting on my desk within arms reach.
Did I pass?

Have just realised Greenpeace would not harpoon, as it kind of goes against their save the whales stance, lol!
Geez, see, I'm not fit to be a mother. I'm far too thick!

Ah it's ok VAG, I am also mumsy it would appear

Winnie glad you found us. TBH the not drinking is a leetle concerning, however if you have upped your chocolate intake to make up for it you should still pass.

I currently seem to have a licorice fetish.

What are Percy Pigs? Is this some new UK delicacy which hath forsaken me? I have stroopwaffels. stands at side of party room looking embarassed and not part of the crowd

I'm going to POAS tomorrow - it's a few days early but I'm going mad. I've had enough rest this week but people are telling me I look exhausted. I actually bust the zip on a pair of fecking jeans on sunday despite losing 9lbs, my head is fuzzy, my nips like bullets and I even forgot to put deodorant on this morning.

Go to Marks and Spencers.
Head for the sweetie section, and hunt out the lurid pink and green bags.
These are Percy Pigs, and you have found your Mecca.

There are no M&S sur le continent. There used to be one in the hague but they closed it down about 6 years ago citing that it didn't turn a profit. Bollocks - expats LIVED for M&S.

skihorse I am so jealous although I have found an internet shop where I can by them, and drop and other stuff so I am happy!

Nips like bullets eh? bloated stomach? forgetful? hmmmmm, interesting.
