Hi Chairmum good luck on #2. How old is your ds?

ChairmumMiaow · 07/09/2009 17:07

DS is 19mo. Just starting to talk more than the odd word and not too far into tantrums (he throws himself to the floor and kicks his legs and screams for about 15 seconds then gets fed up) so good fun!

I'm very broody though and reminiscent about that newborn stage, as I expect everyone here who has done it before is.

Hollyoaks · 07/09/2009 17:22

Snap, dd is 19mo and just starting to enter childhood rather than being a baby. I'm similar and missing my bump and the baby stage. Can't believe its over already, sort of sad that this may be the start of the last time as well, unless I can persuade dh to go for #3.

Hi all hollyoaks how is school? I can't keep up with MN now that we are back with the children!

Anyway think I'm on CD32 and still no AF but got cramps so think it's on its way - that and the BFN that I got this morning kinda suggests that this month isn't the one. Hope next month is different but guess we'll see

whittywantababy6 · 09/09/2009 20:12

Hey all how is everyone kaylo how are things...blue what is your normal cycle legnth?

Update on me nothing LOL waiting for AF and my temp to drop and my Drs. appointment. I just realized that if Im pregnant my lovely fiance will be gone the whole month of JUNE 2010 for training this sucks I would be all alone...what would I do with my first child OMG...panicking already

Anywho hope everyone is well

Hollyoaks · 09/09/2009 20:15

Hi BSF just responded to you on the June bus, like I said I've still got my fingers crossed for you.

So pleased to be back at school [sarcasm emoticon] what with all of the meetings, a new school day made up of 6 lessons to get to grips with, a new GCSE course to plan for as well as having no laptop therefore no printer or internet access. I'm stressed already and the kids aren't all back until tomorrow. Don't know when I'l get time to make a baby.

As well as all that our new chemistry teacher has announced she's 3 months pg and will be leaving in Feb to have baby. That didnt go down well with the head and head of science. Not sure how they'll feel about two members of the same department being on maternity leave but I suppose thats for them to worry about.

Rant over, how are you? How has work been this week?

Kaylo · 10/09/2009 09:00

Hi girls

Hollyoaks Who gives a s**t what the head of dept says - it's their problem not yours. I think it's quite out of order of them tbh.
You don't additional stress from them when you're TTC!!

whitty Not to be taken the wrong way but I hope you're waiting a looooong time for AF, like maybe 9months or so

I don't feel pregnant yet - just very very very tired!! I've totally lost my appetite cos this have started making my stomach twist so I think morning sickness is on it's way. bleurgh, I'm green at gills just thinking about it But pleased as well as means things are going well, all the icky things are really good things I guess - good job they're temporary tho - couldn't cope with 9month tiredness and sickness!!!

Hope you ladies are in receipt of some nice well deserved BFP's this month

xxxx

whittywantababy6 · 10/09/2009 12:23

Hey ladies...still no af...la la la I wake up every morning looking for it...Im always hungry now but doesnt seem unusual Im a little fatty LOL...but last nite I want potatoes rice and cucumbers with dressing...LOL yummy anywho hope all is well

kaylo thanks I want her vacation to be that long too

Hollyoaks · 10/09/2009 16:41

Kaylo your right about the heads of department, I really dont care what they think. I'll hopefully off on maternity leave and won't be thinking twice about work whilst I'm away. Cant wait.

Kaylo · 10/09/2009 17:41

Thats the Spirit!!!!

harmonyb23 · 11/09/2009 15:40

I've been feeling sick every morning this week . I don't know what's going on... I started my period the other day and then it stopped rather abruptly... I am a bit worried that something is wrong with me, maybe it's because I have just come off of contraception for the first time in 5 years...?

Anyway how is everyone? Hope everything is going well for those who have already managed to conceive and for those who haven't yet how's it going?

x x x

Hollyoaks · 11/09/2009 20:56

Harmonyb23 it sounds like your cycle may not have settled since coming off contraception, it can take a few months to settle down. On the other hand it may be early signs of pg, only time will tell. Good luck

EmNotPGYet · 11/09/2009 22:55

Hello everyone! I'm 29 (so just qualify here) and my husband and I have just decided to TTC - he works in politics so wants to make sure there's no risk of next year's general election and a baby coinciding, but we reckon we'll start next month. I'm due to start my next pack of the pill on Thursday (have been on it solidly for 9.5 years) but am thiking of not taking it and using condoms for a month instead to get myself back to normal. Pros of this - I've heard that lots of people coming off Microgynon lose weight and their sex drive increases, which would be amazing! Cons - i've also heard there is a fertility boost the first month off the pill which I'd be loathe to miss out on. Decisions, decisions... either way next month we'll be on our way!

Hollyoaks · 12/09/2009 23:20

Good luck EmNotPGYet I had the same dilemma when I came off the pill when ttc dd but we just went for it with no delay to get my cycle back to normal

April80 · 13/09/2009 19:14

I'm back!!!

Kaylo Congratulations!!!! I knew the minute i was away this would happen!! So pleased for you!

Welcome all newbees!

I have nothing to report other than we had a fab honeymoon!!!!
Used Opk every day since cd8 its now cd24 and had no +. Thats not good

Hollyoaks · 13/09/2009 19:54

April80 I'm pleased you had a good honeymoon, maybe the opks you used were duds (?).

Hollyoaks · 15/09/2009 20:23

Hellllooooo, were have you all gone? Any news?

April80 · 16/09/2009 08:49

I'm still here!!!

No news from me tho. Expecting AF any day now, even with all the honeymoon action not feeling that there will be a BFP for any time soon.

Where is everyone!!!!

whittywantababy6 · 16/09/2009 12:24

Sorry I went MIA...I had a miscairage Im ok...because at least I know I can concieve

Hollyoaks · 16/09/2009 18:41

WWAB I'm so sorry, I'm glad you can see the silver lining after such a loss. Please come and talk if you think it will help.

April80 Fingers crossed for you. When's af due? I think I'm due around Friday, but have mo idea if I'm pg or not.

April80 · 16/09/2009 21:29

Whitty- I'm so sorry to hear your news but as hollyoaks said i'm glad you can see the sliver lining

Hollyoaks- I'm not really sure when af is due!! I'm on cd 27 and did think that my cycle was 28-30 days but last month it was 36 days! I guess i'll just have to wait and see. Feel normal and dont think i'm pg and if i'm not i'm going to do my very best to get up the duff next cycle!! fingers crossed for you! xx

harmonyb23 · 17/09/2009 13:20

WHITTY So sorry for your loss, but it's good that you are looking on the bright side of things...

I am on CD 16 so have a while to wait and see if AF arrives or not, I have my fingers crossed that she won't and that I'll be buying a pregnancy test next month!

Good luck to everyone!

April80 I have my fingers crossed for you! You mention 'feeling normal', you don't always 'feel' pregnant (I didn't have a clue I was pregnant until 6 months down the line my first child) so you never know you could be in for some good luck this month... Really hope you get a BFP!

Speak soon everyone!!!

Hollyoaks · 17/09/2009 21:11

April I think my af is due either Friday or Sunday . Like you I don't feel pg just a bit crampy and dh reckons I've got PMT but I feel ok. I don't remember how I felt when pg with dd, I know I didn't feel different but don't remember if I had signs of af. I just remember being totally shocked after ttc for 6 months.

Fingers crossed for you and everyone else.

EmNotPGYet · 18/09/2009 19:59

Thanks Hollyoaks - that's what we've done in the end, we couldn't be bothered with condoms etc. It was really odd to have deliberately unprotected sex for the first time ever! Vvvv exciting. I can't help myself telling half my friends that we're TTC - oh well.

April80 · 19/09/2009 14:09

hollyoaks- Is that you on the June bus!?! I've just been looking at other threads!
A BFP!!!! Congraulations!!!!
