Perdi,
i've never heard anyone else mention a Bradford score before i wonder if you work in the same type of organisation as myself.

We have it in our work, except its called a bradford index. I work in a call centre.
My mum also has it, she works in a hospital.

When i was there before i left to go on maternity leave my score was 200%+ :eek: due to quite bad morning sickness.
And they tried to tell me off until i pointed out that i can sue theirs bums off if they discriminate for pregnancy related illness

Hmm, im so fed up. Im actuall wishing for AF to start now so i can just get on with TTC!
I've done two tests over the past week, both BFN's

Im even holding them under natural light and turning it slightly to see if it changes in the light.. :rotfl:

Hold tight, EA, you never know!

eta just googled the Bradford thing. Thats schiz.

I have had one day off sick for d and v (ill all weekend) one day off for agonising back pain (did it on a Friday) and one day off last year for Shingles (ill all Easter hols) not to mention no days off for m/c and hospital admission as, guess what, happened in Easter hols.
Schiz. My score is 9 for 3 days...

Hello ladies!

I have had my implant taken out this afternoon, so we are officially on board, woohoo! Who knows how long it will take for my body to sort itself back into a normal routine, but I'm hoping it won't be too long. Rubella and smear tests done and clear, Folic acid being taken, so all ready....

I can't say anything to anyone in RL, because friends of ours are going through IVF at the moment, so I will have to keep it all on here for now. Hard when people keep asking if we're going to have another.

Good luck Chakani!

Exciting times, my CBFM came today & all the test sticks! (& 2 CB digi pg tests how did they get in there!)

Typical me just dived straight in and switched the thing on & set it to CD2 without reading instructions properly which would mean a 6 hour window for testing with FMU centred on now :eek: Luckily I soon worked out how to reset it so I'll try again in the morning...phew!

Just thought I'd let you know so any overly keen newbies to CBFM don't make the same mistake as me

Have a nice evening all

M:)

Hey all!!

Im getting fed up with being CONSTANTLY asked when im gonna have a baby - feel like screaming - im trying!!! Leave me alone!!!! Makes me feel more under pressure. Im just saying to folks....oh not just yet....keeping my hubby to myself a little bit longer...hahahaha.. (cringe) do you all feel the same??

My AF is due the 1st day of our holiday so i guess well have a lush holiday or a 'oh well we'll try again' but then again this is only the 1st month of trying so i keep telling myself not to get my hopes up and just continue enjoying TTC!!

Evening layyydeeees x

Murray your post made me laugh! You sound just like me..impatient and goes crashing in without reading the instructions first! :rotfl:

Well..my 'no drinking in my 2WW' has fallen by the wayside already..honestly I'm cr*p!

My Dad brought me a lovely bottle of red wine for my birthday which I havent drunk yet (amazing!).

I'm cooking a lasagne and just really fancied a couple of glasses..bad MV

Hope it wont hinder any progress..but..you gotta keep living havent you?

Rachael..you just have to zone out when people start banging on about 'when are you going to have a family' nonsense. Or you could just curtly reply 'when I'm good and ready thank you very much'!

unfortunately there's no hiding the fact that i'm overweight, i'm trying to do stuff about it but it's a very long hard road, unfortunately it means that i get treated like a piece of dirt quite often. Sometimes i feel it would be easier as an alcoholic/smoker/drug addict because they at least don't get treated like scum. (don't mean to cause offence but that's just what it's like at my practice)

heaven know's what my bradford score is, i tend to struggle into work until i literally can't get out of bed, then go back before i'm ready so it looks like lots of one off days sick when in reality i should have taken much longer off.

rachelc i know what you mean, my mum is always going on about when she gets her 'new baby' (aka mine) it really hurts as i don't feel able to talk to her about the problems i have, she doesn't even know i had tests a couple of years ago and only have one ovary. Mentioned something about my mum to my sister this weekend just gone so hoping she'll have a word in her shell like.

Sorry you're made to feel that way Lemon

thanks MV, i'm not good at standing up for myself when it comes to dr's i've never liked them and that mixed with how i feel about my body doesn't bode well. Ah well i shall be brave on friday, so many times in the last few months i've just felt like collapsing in tears so i suspect i'm long over due a visit.

I know how you fell since I'm in similar situation.
But being apart does make one appreciate one another when together:cool:

I do sometimes wonder if I have priorities right - if I really want a baby, shouldn't I live with OH (relocate or become a housewife)?
I don't want to lose my job I love, and if I did relocate, I don't know if I can get a job, let alone something that's reasonably paid. Also, to get pregnant immediately after getting a job might be a bit stressful and not fair to the new job. I had serious morning sickness last time, so if I get that, I'd like to take few weeks off...

And if I was never meant to have a baby, then I'd regret leaving my current job:(

Youve actually summed up whats in my head pretty much perfectly (except for the morning sickness bit i havent had that xloves to you QQ)
Ive just started a new job today so grateful its only a short term contract incase I did get a bfp but then when do I decide to take a long term one and then if I take a long term and i get a bfp what happens too many ifs buts and maybes I think
