Forums New posts
I'm at stay at home mum too and I'm also studying an early childhood education degree externally :)

I'm hoping to be a kindergarten teacher once DS and any future kiddies go to school.
 
Hopefully your emotions are a good sign that you are pregnant :)

Pink section is your period... L=light, M=medium, H=Heavy...

As far as CM goes... *=spotting, D=Dry, S=sticky, C=creamy, W=watery and E=Egg White.

Took me ages to figure it all out :)
 
LOL! Oops - just realised I should have scrolled down before replying as LLPM had beaten me to it :)
 
Ginny- I love early childhood dev, good luck with your studying. And, as I was chart stalking earlier to get the hang of it, yours is very promising, i dare say you will be our first BFP!!! :happydance:

Angel- thank you, and yes llmp answered as well, but i love that you answer so thoughtfully and quickly, as many others here do, its such a great tool- having so many brains in one spot! Glad you've got it figured out, bc i doubt that will be my last charting question, haha. I look at them and that blue line might as well be russian handwriting, how it figures it out is beyond me, bc it looks like such small increases and decreases all the time and yet it means something! :shrug:
 
2mums, when you enter your temp, go thru all the drop down menus, everything is pretty much listed for you, so you just choose your symptoms etc. you'll pick it up.

Wow you ladies have been busy posting away all Arvo!! Lol.
I'm a stay at home mummy! LOVE it, would never work to pay for a bigger house, better car, nicer Clothes etc! I love being the one who is there for them when they wake from their naps, to give them their meals and teach them about the world around them! I know some people say they'd feel unfulfilled staying at home but I just can't get that...I get my emotional, physical, need to feel needed top up numerous times a day! :)

Ah well to each their own. For me I feel lucky that DH is currently studying and will be a SAHD when the time comes. He doesn't earn enough to pay the mortgage, but I do, so we all win :thumbup:
 
Yep as mum2 said...it's easier to just play around! (also just a tip...sometimes the changes aren't instant on your chart, so you'll put all the data in but there's a delay for it showing on the chart!) I find it's not so bad on the website, but the iPhone & iPad apps lag a bit sometimes! :)
 
Trying2 - I have got my BFP lol I found out last Friday :) I had a miscarriage in April this year at 12 weeks, so I've just been feeling a bit cautious about the whole thing...

Maybe I'll add a small note in my signature to not confuse anyone. I just don't feel ready for a ticker yet - how silly is that!

Maddy, hope I didn't offend you! My mum went back to work full-time when I was 6weeks old and put me in daycare from 7:30am til 2pm then my dad picked me up and had me til mum came home at 6pm and he went back to workI feel very lucky to have spent that time with my dad - lots of kids don't get that and we have a great relationship because of it! :)
When I was pregnant with poppy my mum told me she has always regretted going back to work and if she knew then what she knows now they would have sold their house and downgraded so she could be at home with my sister & I, I always remember her saying that and it's stuck with me. Everyone is different but for me I don't want to regret not being at home!
 
Hello ladies you have been busy today :)

I currently do not have a job which is KILLING me i'm finding it really hard as I am not allowed to work for more than 6 months at a time until my visa is approved :(

My IC arrived today along with my BBT thermometer :) Another bfn but thats ok I kinda know I am not Pg this month I just wish she would just come already :haha:

How are you ladies doing tonight?

Oh Ginny, sorry, I wondered bc you had your blood checked for hcg, so i thought you already knew, but.. im just silly. I very much understand not being ready for the ticker, you're being cautious and that is ok and very understandable!! Hope he/she sticks and greets you screaming and crying in 9 months!! seems like your hcg levels are good!! so early, tentative, congrats, i'll give em again later too ;)
 
Melainey- good evening! I completely understand, when i was on my first visa, i could not find work anywhere, much to do with the work restrictions, its since been 2.5 years, haha, but i wasn't really looking, blessed enough not to have to, but saw my dream job come up on seek.com, and thought yes, im going for it, who doesn't want extra money in the bank while doing something they love, and whilst there are not kids at home and my partner is super busy at work and just started a masters degree, I might as well get out of the house and earn some money for the household!! Good luck with your job search, something will come your way. And I do hope your AF shows up soon, but still got my fx for a BFP for you!!
 
Wow I go off line for 5 hours & I feel like I have missed sooo much lol

I wish I could be at home full time & play with my daughter but times are hard. I am lucky my parents are both at home so my daughter still gets the one on one with family. You learn to make the most of it time you have with you little ones.

Thanks for all the advise regards charting.

Sorry to hear about your m/c ginny.

Tonight I started getting little pains in the middle but I am still trying hard not to take a test. I've also been a little snappy the last two days. Hubby thinks I might b pg & my emotions are all over the place lol.

Oh not at all :flower: In Canberra living costs are so high that our mortgage payment is actually less than our rent used to be, so I have to keep working one way or another. I have something to keep me busy when I'm not obsessing about TTC!

Thanks 2mums :)

They just make it so hard to be in love! If I had of gotten sponsored through a job it would never be this hard :cry: but I did the silly thing and fell in love :haha: Andhaven't seen my family in almost 3 years :cry: hopefully soon tho :)

Yeah she is being stubborn this month she really is a witch haha! I suppose tho everything happens for a reason :) :hugs:

Your signs look very promising too I really hope you get a bfp :happydance:
 
My partner is British and he moved over here 2 years ago to stay with me since my UK visa ran out - so I kinda know what some of you are going through. It's tough, but so worth it :)

We've gone back once for a visit last August and we're hoping to go again around August next year. Hopefully we'll have our little baby to bring along!
 
Great signature Ginny - very clear :) really praying that it is a very sticky little bean ... And for bfp's for everyone else too!

Calling it a night ladies but looking forward to catching up with you all in the morning xx
 
We had been living o/s and moved here 11 months ago, so hubby has work restrictions on his visa too. But it's been really good to see how great he is at managing the house and I have no doubt he's going to be a fantastic SAHD one day.
 
Lisa- it can be like that in here sometimes! Symptoms looking good for you, fx!!!
Melainey- i understand, i fell in love and moved across the world too! I use skype a hell of alot, Facebook helps too with friends and some family, i just got my 80yr nan on skype this month too, talked to my mum in states today via skype, and i was lucky enough to be back there in June and we're going, hopefully me going pregnantly for a cold chrissy this december. Its very hard, being away from family, looking for work, but being madly in love does take the edge off :)
Ginny- im sure the family back there are thrilled that your going to visit next year, with a new lil bub to meet too!
 
Yeah ginny it's really frustrating :haha: but worth it :)

Yeah I would love to go home with a little bub , and so would my family :) Hopefully it allworks out for all of us :happydance:
