cavemum what an awful day. I have nothing useful to say other than hope you're ok
Zippys hope everything goes well at the hospital
felicityFlick how was your PIL free evening? Personally think you handled the situation with a grace I can only dream off. Don't get me wrong, I like OH's mother, and know by some peoples tales I could do an awful lot worse - but small doses is my limit!
Aries What did you get in the end for the gift? What do you do for work? (sorry ? am nosey by nature!)
Kaloki POAS yet? Fingers crossed!!
PinkiePoo which pill were you on? (if you don?t mind me asking). Todd?s dancing must be sooo cute! I teach swimming at the weekend, and have 2 toddler classes. I find them entertaining as well as enjoyable to teach ? much more fun than the ?bigger kids?- who on a bad day are just a nightmare, leaving me wondering why I bother trying to teach them!
ClaireInTheCommunity A year ago we were saving, and TTC was on ?the list of things to do? ? but not near the top! I was avoiding it like anything!! In the grand scale of things the odds stacked against getting preg make me wonder how anyone can claim to have fallen preg ?by accident?! BUT as you said, you still have your relationship where you love each other, and that is so much more than some get. The girl who is having twins ? I feel sad for OH?s mate as she can?t have that much respect for him saying these things (only with him as "better than living at home", and a personal fav - "I could do better, but cant be bothered to go out and find them") however at the end of the day she won?t be going anywhere and he is happy, so who I am I to comment We (OH and I)have a great relationship with mutual respect ? We?ll get our BFP ? the waiting just makes it more special!!
What would be BIL is having a hard time with partner (looks like they are about to split), so OH a little sidetracked at present ? but seeing what some call a relationship I think OH and I are lucky. Adapted the Que Sera, Sera approach to TTC (for now) as so many people around us have issues, I am grateful for what we have
Sorry to not say hi to all - but hope everyone's ok?
haloflo - I stopped the pill October 09 - I though my first proper AF was Dec as moved slightly (I didn't count the first 2 as was only just off the pill, and had a short cycle) and Jan came as expected based on the slight increase in days. Then everything went a little haywire
We weren't actively trying (but no protection) from Oct, but started trying "properly" from Jan.
I am open to suggestions what cycle I am on, as since October, including the Oct AF I have only had 5 visits from the witch ? and I know one certainly doesn?t count as was the week after last pill. Since I thought Dec was the start of ?proper? af?s, I?ll give you the tasteful background? Jan ok, in line with an average 29 days since Dec, and in line with what pill free AF?s felt like
Feb received a postcard (spotting a bit later than AF expected, but no visit)
March I guess we can call a trial separation - AF was still nowhere to be seen
April? well AF wanted us to be friends on 2nd April? day after my visit to missing persons (GP?s). Based on my last proper break, where was off pill for 6 months (was not TTC, just gave my body a break) my average cycle length was 29 days (only kept a record at the time to make sure I wasn?t preg!!) I should be expecting a visit some point in the next week (start of weekend if running to previous schedule) however I very much doubt it as I am getting the same feelings I had the last time she pissed off. I expect I am in for another long cycle?
