Waiting to TTC part 2!

[bebejones]

Shiney new thread before we drop off the end of the last one!

Sorry justshagging - X post

AC - I wouldn't know about whether its best to catch straight away or not. Think if I don't 2nd time around it will be a bit weird as it happened so fast last time. I think this time it might help DH if it took a while, but would probably make me even scarier and more obsessive & jumping him every chance I get!

Shagging - How horrid for you having to have cells removed. Hope things are ok for you now?

No nice plans after smear test (should have got some Haagan Daas in ), don't even have any cake left in the house! And definately won't be feeling up to any sexy time with DH later!

Hmmm - can you got Haagan Daas on the way home from the test?? If not then a I guess a family sized bar of galaxy wil do!!

Things all good down there when I was last checked but got to keep on top of the smears which sadly means one a year for me grrrrrrrr!!

Next one due in Dec/Jan which is handily 3 months before we start TTC!

AC - i have no prior knowledge on the catching front but I am sort of hoping that it takes a couple of months for a few reasons:

1. so that DH can get used to the idea!

2. so that I am due after xmas (I never liked the idea of a birthday too close to xmas)

3. so that I can do the 2011 wedding season without having to worry about everybody guessing that I am PG (I have been known to knock back the champagne and any other alcohol and so it would be instantly obvious that I was PG if I wasn't drinking!!)

4. So that i can have a few months of the excitement and dissappointment of testing so that when I get my BFP I am even more happy than if I had got it straight away.

Probably very stupid and shallow reasons (particularly 2&3) but in a perfect world I'd liek to catch in June of next year. Fingers crossed!!!!!

Might have to trek to Tesco (isn't actually a trek but will feel like it) and get some ice cream. Just need to persaude my legs to carry me! 3 more days of the poxy horrid steroids for me, really need to get off them & back on the diet, am piling the weight back on can just tell!

I'd love to have a bit of the excitement of monthly testing for a bit this time...but not too long! A Sept/Oct baby would be best for us. November wouldn't be too bad, but Dec/Jan would be really tricky & I don't think I would want to stop for a couple of months if we haven't had a BFP in time IYSWIM?

Yeah - ISWYM. So many considerations!!!

Trek to tesco would be so worth it. I now keep my freezer stocked with ice cream as DH LOVES it. Haagen Daas Dulce de Leche...... [salivating smiley] I could eat a bowl fo it right now but as it's only 10am I had better stick to fruit!!!

Don't worry about the weight gain. It's totally normal with steriods and I am sure that as soon as you come off them you will loose it all. Stressing yourself out about you weight will only make you fee worse - trust me, I;ve been there!

Think I just feel a bit gutted about the weight gain as I have worked so hard this year in preparation to TTC. Had lost about 4 stone & think I've put about 6lbs back on in the last few days! Might have to go get some Baileys Haagan Daas, yum, I hate Baileys but can't get enough of it in ice cream form!

Can't get TTC out of my brain today...5 months (ish) to go...hurry up!!!!

Oh wow - well done you for loosing 4 stone. That's a fantastic achievement! 6lbs will drop off in no time

Also got TTC on the brain today. 8 months to go for me!!!

8 months will go quickly...is less thana year, and less than the time you will actually be PG!!

This time last year I was hoping I'd already be pregnant by now! Then DH changed his mind to not trying til June, then he changed it again! He isn't getting away with that this time...we will be TTC in December, I have a massive ticking health clock & need to do this while I still can. Despite this relapse I'm actually the healthiest I have been in a long time! I'm actually very lucky that when I am not in a relapse my day to day health & symptoms are excellent. Which is obviously in my favour!

Smear test done...YUK! Bought a tub of Haagan Daas & some yummy smoothie ice lollies that I love...and some chocolate eclairs which I have shared with DH, that way the calories don't count right?!

Oooooh - envious of your chocfest. Trying to resist the vending machine in the office at the moment and snacking on licorice...... not quite hitting the spot though!

Well done for getting through the smear - next time a nurse is looking at your fanjo you'll be PG!!

Ooooh I do hope so! The nurse did say that all being well the next time I have one will be after another baby! She even said maybe I'll get lucky and get called up for one when I'm PG like I did last time!

Can see how licorice wouldn't cut it, although am partial to a piece or 2 of that aussie soft eating licorice!

Trying to resist the Haagan Daas for as long as possible, but give it an hour before the steroids make my blood sugar crash!

Must be so hard to concentrate at work if all you can think about is TTC?! I'm finding it hard enough being at home, but then I'm around my DD all day & when she is cute she is very very cute

I think I've gained about 3 kgs in the last 2 mins catching up on posts!
Am being uber good on the sugar front now though. Had homemade lemon meriange pie last night as DH was having a special dinner, but am now back on that wagon as a giant thrush infection (sorry about TMI) would not help when we start TTC.

BB my DH takes steriods for a condition and he really feels it when he has to double up. But then he always loses the weight really quickly, so I'm sure you will too xx.

Ahhh - I bet she is adorable! We have a pregnant girl in the team who starts maternity leave in 3 weeks and another who has just started here part time who has a 9mo little girl.

Makes me very broody indeed but my arsehole of a boss is pretty demanding and so that distracts me a bit. Today he's not in much so i have time to think about it all!

Still holding out on the vending machine but all this talk of lemon meringue pie and haagen daas is getting to me!

x

Biscuits - I love lemon meringue pie, it is absolutely my favourite dessert in the whole world! Very !!

Shagging - That must be very tricky on the broody front being around those collegues every day! I find it really difficult being around PG people just makes me sad for some reason! Odd I know! But I do get to indulge the broodiness by buying cute newborn gifts for all these people I know busy sprogging!!

Yup but I do get to chat babies with her and learn a lot!!!

Still 90 mins too go - yawn! Got a fancy dress ball in 2 weeks and I have to now make a costume as the one I bought was too tight on the ( o ) ( o ) and bloomin see thought raided the haberdashery last night and so now have to learn to sew........... !!!

Oooh, what you going as? I love a creative project! Haven't been to a nice ball in ages, last chance I got to wear a nice frock was my wedding day!

Well the theme is "around the world in 80 days" and so I am going as Cleopatra..... just wish that I was a little more creative!!

Could you not just get a snake & sort of drape it round yourself to cover your modesty? That might minimise your need for sewing? All though depends how busty you are, you might need a big snake!

BBJ Lemon Meringue is in my top 10 desserts. Cheese Cake is my fav, but I'm not supposed to have it becasuse of a stupid dairy intolerence. That or Self Saucing Chocolate Fudge Pudding. [visibly salivating face]
I'm great at sewing, but not so much the design side, so prolly can't help you some much with the costume sorry.

I'm absolutely crabbit this afternoon. Went for a walk, which always makes feel me good, except today. Today I went from good mood to bad. DS's constant 'Mum, wot dat?' is not helping! Roll on bed time.

Biscuits - I feel your pain! DD has had a day of saying 'No' 'I not want to' & 'stop it mummy'! Aaaaarrrrggghh! And NO nap! Thank God she is in bed now! Just hope she sleeps it is so humid! Isn't it amazing though that they can be so irritating & so cute at the same time?!

Going to do some lovely baby day dreaming this evening whilst scoffing my Haagan Daas...yes I have held out til now! Self restraint or what?!

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that BB (the annoying yet so cute thing). DS has decided naked is best.
Scoff some Haagen das for me. I'm weirdly looking forward to a veg filled dinner.

Had enough Haagan Daas for everyone! Feeling very stuffed & guilty now!

Going to be trying to influence things towards conceiving a boy (not really that bothered what flavour DC we have but a boy would be nice) and eating dairy is supposed to not be good for conceiving boys so need to scoff all the ice cream I can now! Probably an old wives tale, but can't hurt really, esp if I'm on the supplements & obviously once actually PG would be making sure I had enough calcium!

Hurrah -it's Friday!!!!
Sewing went remarkably well last night. DH was pretty shocked to come home and find me up to my ears in sequins but the end result is pretty good. now I just need more Fancy Dress parties to wear it to!!!!

Bebe and Biscuits - I can only imagine how much worse it is being broody when you have a little one around you and no doubt people asking when you are going to give DC a brither or sister!

Bebe - absolutely loving your justification for eating the Haagen Daas!!!

Have to justify it somehow!

Glad the sewing went ok!

Can't believe the weekend is here again!! Weeks seem to be going so fast...not that I am complaining!

Anyone else got any crazy gender influencing TTC tricks? I've half heartedly been looking at shettles, but I find it all a bit too 'clinical' , DH was all for it though...think he needs male company! Like I said, I'm not massively bothered if we have a boy or a girl, but if I have to stop at 2 DCs one of each would be nice. (Cliched I know)

BB think I saw a thread banging about to do with gender influencing when TTC. Maybe you should check it out.

I'd also love one of each (and preferably non identical twins!!!) But at the end fo the day I'd be equally happt with either flavour!

I used to think that I really wanted daughters and, whilst it would be lovely, now I just don't care!!
