Trying For a Baby part 4

twinklie

I'm feeling silly after yesterdays posts. We all know how hard it is to get a bfp and there was me thinking...oooh it's not the right time. Of course we'd figure it out if we got one (although I think it's unlikely). I know we both secretly want a bfp but know that it's not ideal and so are trying to pretend we don't. Bah. I WANT ONE!

Still, probably won't happen but at least I get to ride the 2ww for a change rather than just read about you guys doing it.

Right I need to get some lessons planned for later this week or I'm going to be struggling! It's my horrid yr 10 class I've put off again! Ah well, least we are on to a topic which I can through some practicals into. YEY!

*BigBird*

Hello everyone :hello: I have been lurking for a little while, since DH and I decided we would try for a baby, so thought maybe it was time for me to introduce myself. We had kind of decided we wouldn't bother with kids, both thinking we were too old for that malarkey (I'm 35, he's 37), changes of getting pg are falling and chances of complications rising. Plus there's no way I'm getting rid of my Mini!:p But we've decided (partly after chatting to a friend who was telling us his kids were the best thing he's ever done with his life) we should go for it. The downsides are only going to build up the longer we wait, and I really don't want us to decide in 10 years that we wish we had done it now.

I'm quite embarrassed to say that, aside from periods, I really had very little idea of what happens in my body on a monthly basis Having read up on it, it's amazing what I have been paying very little attention to for the last 20-odd years! Plus, now that we've agreed to go for it, I find I really, really want to do this - which has kind of surprised me, as I've always felt that I wasn't really bothered about having kids.

Big hugs to everyone who needs one and I hope we all get the results we want in 2010

hello and happy new year. Not been able to get on because of visitors. AF arrived on Boxing day which was a lovely Christmas present, but at least it meant I could drink over New Year. Still feeling very hormonal and emotional though. Poor OH is bearing the brunt of it and I think he may have had enough of me now.

Wow, you guys have bee chatty! I was exhausted last night and was i bed by 10pm!

MV and Polka, you're both near me Ad you're both preggers, so can you waft some vibes over my way please

I know I keep going on about my job, but I had a thought today. I'm going to lose my car! Its a company car, and I have to give it back after a month. A bit poo, as its the only normal car we have - DH has a black cab! Better update my job criteria to include a car lol

Not much to report here. On CD25 today. Last month, I started spotting on CD24 and AF came in full flow on CD27. No spotting yet, ad I hope I dont get any! Cue me going to the loo every hour to check lol

Right, I'm off to copy loads of files off my work laptop and contacts off my BlackBerry, before it all goes back tomorrow

Hi and welcome BigBird:wave:
TTC must be the most exciting thing for a person:j:j:j
Especially at the beginning.

After BFP comes the difficult bit of keeping the baby in, morning sickness, constant worry of miscarriage and childbirth:shocked:

Although I'm a bit disappointed at my AF arriving early, hence missing the chance to POAS, I'm looking ahead to my next ov. Never been so in tune with my body before:D

:wave: Hello newbies and welcome.

Sammy where abouts do you live?

Sorry AF got you Tiger.

Quaver I keep thinking that I have a long old road ahead of me. Still not really feeling any symptoms apart from tired and the odd twinge, and keep checking my undercrackers too to check nothing is amiss! :eek: I guess until I go for my first scan and they tell me that lil MV is in there and looking healthy, I cant let myself get too excited.

Just packed away Christmas for another year always makes me sad as I absolutely love Xmas and all the glitz and gayness that goes with it!

It was quite funny though as OH decided the easiest way to get the tree outside was to lob it out of the living room window! We live on the top floor of a Victorian maisonette so I videoed the tree flying out of the window..looked very comical!

Hello BigBird... another Devon chick I see;)

Whereabouts do you be??? (Proper devonshire I be:rotfl:)

Sammy_Girl

Sorry for my rudeness - Welcome all newbies :hello: Welcome to the thread. Feel free to ask any questions, I cannot remember how may questions I asked at first! We are all here to help as best we can

MV - Im in the Bexley area. Don't want to say specifically where, in case anyone from RL is here lol. I do (did) work in London. Actually cant believe you commute to Windsor every day :eek: Took dow our Xmas tree too today. Altjough ours is a fake one, so packed up in the box and back in the loft for another year!

Bored now of doing work stuff, so will do tomorrow and will watch some trashy TV now

becs

My God how much chat! you pg ladies will not be able to use the excuse that the pg board moves fast soon!
Thanks for missing me Ellie!
Well we've just finished taking all the decs down and hoovering up, done a mountain of washing, made some dough for rolls so nearly set for the first day back tomorrow.
Sammy sorry to hear about the job, fingers crossed it's fate working it's magic for something better for you.!
BigBird welcome to you, I think most of us joined here knowing virtually nothing about our bodies but don't worry you'll soon be discussing the joys of cervical mucus amnongst the rest of us (Not a shy lot here!) :rotfl:
Well on the subject of jobs and location etc, I used to work for BT until a couple of years ago, had a good job with them but decided to take voluntary redundancy (The plan being that I'd be leaving to have a baby anyway so why not go a bit earlier and take a big chunk of money too!) , that was a couple of years ago now! I now just have a customer servcies job at a local council, my commute is 25 minutes mainly through the northamptonshire countryside which is beautiful so I don't mind at all. I enjoy the job although not very challenging my colleagues are great and it pays the bills.DH has a good job so WHEN I get my bfp I intend to be a stay at home Mum.
We live on the cambridgeshire/northamptonshire borders and love it around here.
Twinklie I don't blame you for ranting, rant away! It must be awful to be in the shall we shan't we position. All I can say if it were me and knowing what I do now I would just let nature decide! Just not actively try but not take precautions when you're together. Some of us know these things sometimes aren't straightforward and what would you do if you didn't try now and found it in 2 years time there was a problem? I'd kick myself for wasting those years (I do now!) I'm sure if you got your bfo before time was ideal you'd make the best of it and it wouldn't be forever. Look at the army wives who have babies then hubbies go off to Afghanistan on 6 month secondments, they cope because they have to. We all know there's nothing more precious than a new baby and we'd all say I think that there's nothing we wouldn't give for one. There's women (girls!) in far worse situations that are having babies and just because you and dh aren't living together doesn't mean you can't provide a more financially secure, loving and stable upbringing than they are doing?
Smartie fingers crossed it's not af arriving!
Hello to everyone else and Happy New Year!
