Baby! All good news. Keep being discrete on the baby talk and he will notice that he is thinking of it without you bringing it up! Already working!

(super long layover in new York...euro-bound soon lol!!!)

Fab advice, Gen!

So envious of your break away!!

On a not so good note, my baby girl is poorly!! She has tonsillitis and an awfully high temperature. Now she keeps waking up and screaming out about her head -- i think she has a headache. She is getting a rash too -- I think she is allergic to penicillin as she got a rash last time she had it. Not giving her anymore - will contact doctor first thing! But she is so so hot and unhappy and clearly in pain with her head.

I could cry for her

Aw dose her up with paracetamol and ibuprofen, and honestly, a little Benadryl (diphenhydramine) to help her sleep wouldn't cause me to judge...and may help rash!

Hi ladies, I am laughing my head off at all this talk of farting on here!!!!

Me, dh and Henry have been away for a few days, just what we all needed. Drank and ate too much, had a few sneaky cigs and generally forgot about last weekend. Not too embarrassed to say good bd-ing with dh so back on it for catching the egg this month!

On that note D I can't believe you haven't tested yet! We need an update, I have my fingers crossed for you and so pleased your dh is coming back round to the idea of ttc.

Hope you've all been having a fun week! Xx

Aww D just read the post about your baby girl being ill hope she has been a bit better today xx

Wow what a couple of days with my poorly little lady --- not tested (was my plan for today) because I have started spotting....AF does sometimes start this way so just holding on till tomorrow to see if she arrives in full swing x

The witch has arrived -- full flow

Oh no sorry to hear that the arrived, grrr horrible AF!

Hey Ladies! How is everyone doing?

I finally have a break between getting everything ready for yearly testing and trying to catch up on sleep to chat with you all.

Jen - How is your trip so far? I bet you're having a great time. I hope you are not having any unwanted pregnancy symptoms.

D - I'm sorry to hear about AF showing up, but your OH's recent comments seem very promising!

Emma - How's this month's TTC going? Any luck? Are you using OPK's or are you still trying to keep it stress free?

Kerry - How's our oldest little bean doing? Hope you are feeling well!

On my end everything is going pretty well. We have definitely decided to start trying in July which I am perfectly fine with. It will help with the timing of school and the yearly testing. The only snag is coaching soccer (aka football for my Eastern hemisphere ladies ). I would be around 6-7 months when the season started and 7-8 months when it ended. I am a very physically fit person, but I'm not sure how big I will be;n however, soccer season is only about a month and a half and I'm thinking I can tough it out. I just don't want to be miserable. What do you ladies think? D and Emma you are both teachers and have a child...could you have handled coaching soccer during your 7th month the first time around?

I have other good news! After my last cycle being a total nightmare this one has been textbook perfect! I even ovulated earlier than my last good cycle which is great! I'm really hoping/thinking that my body is finally regulating after coming off birth control. It only took 9 months I have already O'd and everything and it was so easy to tell that I was about to. I'm very pleased with this cycle lol.

Hope you ladies are having a lovely weekend!

Jess, I think you can do it! Besides, you might not catch the very first time. Sounds like our plans are quite similar - the way these cycles are going, it will be near the end of July when we'll be able to start truly TTC. I am hoping ovulation will begin to come sooner for me - day 30 just isn't going to fly! July is going to be here before we know it!
