Those who are waiting to TTC

browneyedbazzi

Hi cozza - everyone is welcome here, but there are a few other threads you might fine more helpful - one that is for people who are ttc now (trying for a baby part 8), one for people who have been ttc for 12 months or more (the trials and tribulations of TTC when it just isn't happening) and another that is for people who have had multiple miscarriages. People do cross over between threads and some of the ladies on this thread have previous experience of ttc and miscarriages but you may find that there is more information/advice that is relevant to your situation on one of the other threads.

good morning all
hope youve all had a good weekend.

Cozza - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4130809 as bazzi said is probably a good place to start, i know there are a few over on that thread who have sadly suffered mc in the past and are very knowledgable.

Only a few more weeks now for me until my Mirena is removed im getting excited about it, but im prepared to wait once i do get it out, hopefully (i wish) it'll be a honeymoon baby!

Hello again!

We're also following Paleo - loosely at first, but gradually working towards it being 100%. I also just completed the 30 Day Shred.

I've got her 90 Day Body Revolution downloading now too

How are you finding Paleo? We're aiming for 6 days a week, with a day off where we can have pizza or such like (but not go too crazy). We've tried to switch to it completely (apart from using up all the non-paleo stuff in the fridge!). We've had some lovely meals so far - lots of roasted or grilled meats with really lovely veg dishes.

It's only been a week so far, but I can already see I have far less bloat than normal. The exercise is going well - apart from the fact that when I get down to do press ups our daft dog gets a little bit over excited and tries to join in.

I really like it. I find that I don't get that hungry anymore, despite not having my usual 'treats'. We also did the process of using up all the non paleo stuff in the house. Now the OH moans when I don't buy anymore! lol

A favourite of ours is a home made chicken kiev (sans breadcrumbs), which is pan fried, with veggies. Nom, nom, nom. I got the recipe from Mark Sisson's website Blasted things never stay together, but they taste delish!

I'm back down to an 8/10 so I must be doing something right.

OH threw me a curveball last night, by telling me that if his work does offer him the local contract after all, then he wants to take it! I made it clear that I still want to move home, and will do. Cue lots of talking and exhaustion now.

We've looked at his why's, so I'm trying to show him solutions to that. No idea if he will come round or not. He tried to come up with solutions for my reasons why I want to move back, but trying to throw money at an emotional problem doesn't really work. Nor does suggesting that I visit the family once every 2 months - I already do more than that! (average about 6-8 trips home per year)

Having a bad day.

Thanks darling. I've already done some ranting today so am feeling a bit 'ranted out'.

I just don't know if this is something that we can resolve and that really sucks.

euro - sorry to hear that things are not going the way you would like. Being in limbo is horrible! I hope that you and your OH can come to an agreement that works for both of you. I'm pretty settled here now but there were definitely times when I wanted to move home so I can sympathise x

Hi everyone

I can understand the fear of uncertainty of having family so far away, we are currently over 400 miles away from our relatives and struggle with the decision on to stay or move home before having a baby.
We both would like to move home but can you justify walking away from two secure, well paid jobs to move back home, where there is a limited possibility of my husband securing a decent job in his sector due to the industry :cool:, I just don't know!
Still no spotting or AF since stoping the pill, I am so impatient lol!

HIC

HIC - have you done a test??? Just to rule out the most likely reason for AF not turning up!

It's a terrible thing to say but I'm glad I live away from my family now....we never had a great relationship and I'm sure that my mother would drive me absolutely mental if she's around if/when I have a baby. She constantly comes out with ideas about what you should/shouldn't do based on random nonsense articles she's read on the internet (she doesn't trust online shopping but she believes everything she reads about health stuff!).

De-lurking myself. Partly because I think you're all a great source of support for each other and wanted to say so publicly... and partly because this thread is becoming more relevant to me.

OH is keen but also supportive of my reasons not to try yet. However, I get the impression that family (and by that I mean mothers and aunts) don't understand our/my reasons.
