Yeah it is a lot of money to pay out but as its really the only major thing we need to buy... we've been picking bits up since we agreed to start trying and have basically everything except the pram now - that seems so weird!!)

Hi Ladies

Sorry I haven't been in touch last few days very manic at work at the moment! But now have a week off so plenty of time to chat!

I too am obsessed with the pram I want! My OH had the cheek to suggest we bought a 2nd hand one of EBay. No Way! Only the best wheels for my LO. I think my favourites so far are the Silver Cross or Mama's & Papa's. I've heard a lot on the forum about the wheels falling off the ICandy so glad to hear they'be changed the design just in time for you Rach!

Anyone else watch OBEM this week? Not sure why but I found it particularly emotional this week & cried my eyes out. Think it maybe because its so close to us TTC & I want my own OBEM experience so badly! Xxx

Hi M3LL,
I'm the opposite, I've been off since Wednesday but i'm back in tommorow

boohoo!!
Hope you have a nice few days off... its been lovely to just chill out with the OH (he's a teacher and is on half term at the moment).

Oh I know... men just dont understand... i want a new pram for our first, i wouldn't be that bothered for our second as i'll probably just use the same pram!!
I do like the iCandy but I thin the Bugaboo is winning me over, plus the OH says he prefers it (not that he's particularly bothered really, I think he just said it to get me out of JL).

Oh M3LL, I cry everytime at OBEM, I have done since the first series haha... saying that I cry at everything.... Emmerdale kiced me off the other day when Aaron left and called Paddy Dad. God help my OH when I am actually a big pregnant hormonal mess!!!

I seriously cannot wait to experience pregnancy and the birth... I just want to embrace the process that women were designed to experience

Have you got anything nice planned for your time off?

Rach xx

Yea it's my 30th on Thursday so my OH is taking me to centre parks for the weekend, I've always wanted to go so I'm really excited. It will be lovely to get away for a few days as me & OH haven't spent any quality time together since we got married last August.

I know what you mean About not being able to wait to experience it all. OBEM hasn't put me off in the slightest. My OH hates it when the show the gory bits & the women are screaming.

Somedays I could cry (& often do) with the frustration of how badly I want to be pregnant - mother natures certainly a very strong force.
Oh well hopefully a lovely weekend away will provide me the perfect opportunity to persaude hubby to start trying earlier hee hee!

Quick question - do you planting chart etc or are you just going to take a relaxed approach?

M3LL · Apr 8th, 2012, 08:40 AM

Oh I keep forgetting to say - I'm Mell btw.

ahh how nice, OH wanted to have one last holiday before we start trying but we bought a new house in December and we're still decorating and buying furniture so thats unlikely to happen. Ive compromised and agreed to a camping trip to some battleground in scotland (OH is a major history geek ha).

My OH is the same, he just sits there when I put it on like "urgh how can you watch this, its like torture". Men eh... gang of wusses!!!

I don't chart as of yet, im pretty in touch with my body as ive not been on BC since early 2010... I find false hormones dont particularly agree with me... we had an accident on the pill which resulted in a MC in Sept '09, i went on the implant following that and it made me feel suicidal. We've been using the withdrawal method effectively since Jan 2010.
Its helped with getting to know my cycles a bit better, i get Ov pains on days 15/16 and CM becomes egg whitish around day 12/13.... Sorry if that TMI!!
I'm thinking about temping just to narrow down my exact Ov day!

How about you chick?

Only two months, 3 weeks to go Rach!!!!

M3LL · Apr 8th, 2012, 09:35 AM

I haven't used BCP for years - I suffer with anxiety so didn't want to put any hormones in my body that makes that even worse. We've always used condoms but have recently started using the withdrawal method too.

I haven't been charting or anything - I use a app on my phone just to give me a rough idea of when AF is due & OH wants to casually TTC in June. I'm really hoping a nice relaxing holiday is going to help me relax and conceive first time as I know I'll very likely be a nervous wreck if it doesn't and start to get obsessed by it all. I want a happy conception & don't want it taking over my life.

Really sorry to hear about your MC, let's hope things go smoothly for everyone.x

I'm the same, suffer with panic attacks, I also suffer with an irregular heartbeat due to one of my valves pumping prematurely causing me to have palpatations... I can't be put on medication for it either as I've got low BP (90/60) --- i'm a walking disaster really

I'd like a relaxed conception too, I know I'm going to obsess though!! I was discussing with the OH yesterday if he'd want me to tell him when I'm going to Ov and he was like erm no it'll put me off just put something sexy on (TMI sorry) ha men eh!!!
