how are you today hun?

i am rweally teary and miserable - doesnt help that i hate my jhob and it is the last place i want to be today..but ohh well, life goes on esp if i want us to be able to buy that house before the little angel arrives..if i were not at this stage in life i would have handed in my notice and then look for another job no matter how small the wage - i would be happier...

 

[Bumblebee24]

Hi Luxoire,
u poor thing i so know how it feels to hate ur job, just think its a means to an end hun. Get ur maternity pay out of them & then do one. Sorry not sure if ur from the UK or USA but I know it the UK you only have to go back for 3 months after maternity. Otherwise the company/government can claim all the maternity back that they paid you.

Am not feeling to bad belly pains come in waves but still no sign, I told u I would jinx it.

To be honest me and my fella have had a really good chat and feel we should have a much more lied back approach to the whole TTC thing mother nature is a crazy and fantastic thing. Me monitoring my ovulation and temp isn’t really goin to speed anything up. It will all happen in good time.

I feel much more at easy with TTC now and am going to enjoy life without a baby for the time being until they make their little appearance in our life. So many ppl I have spoke to have said that once u have a baby you never put urself or ur OH first its always the little one. They are such hard work and most stay at home mums feel its quite a lonely existence, sex life becomes almost no existent, yet its still full of wonderful times too.
I can understand where they are coming from to some degree and don’t get me wrong I still would really like to fall pregnant and have a baby but it has also made me think how happy we both are with each other and to just enjoy the time we have together as a couple without little tapping feet LOL.

I don’t mean at all to put any of you off I just want to try and make the journey of TTC much more bearable & the positives of being a couple without a little 1 as i know at time we all want nothin more than to watch our bump grow. One day he/she will arrive and it will be amazing. Enjoy every minuet life a journey who knows wats round the corner

WOW Sorry for the essay guys alittle deep there, wanting to spread the love today hehehe

 

[Luxoire]

hi Bumblebee...oh dear?? didnt knwo emplyers can claim SMP back? do tell me under what circumstnaces can they do that as i am not planning on coming back after matty leave - hours are too long and i need something less stressful...i am in UK btw...

we are trying to save for a house and the only reason i am doing wht i do now is so that we save enough for a deposit and apply for mortgage before i go on matty leave

i hear all what you are saying, and i am trying to look on the bright side, to be honest i was ok until i stopped the cerazette it seems the closer we get o ttc the more longing i get for the little one and the more impatient i get! plus the constant pains and tiedness and hormones are a constant reminder of why i am going though it and the promise of a healthy little one at the end of the process - although this makes the pains bearable it just put to the fore front of my mind why it is i am enduring this...i had really bad lower belly pain yesterday and my cervix felt a bit delivate -nipples are sore at help - even a bra hurts...OH said to me last night better get used to it cos breastfeeding wont be any easier and i burst into tears...lol ...ohhh joy!!

 

[Luxoire]

hello ladies, ok so my nipples are still quite sore (although not as much as they were before). I am sure i am past ovulation and they should have calmed down by now.

anyone have any ideas? my last AF 25/6...so this month's should be here on or around that date or before the 31st of July...

How is everyone?

 

[mme]

Hi Everyone
Lux - Im guessing anytime of the w/c 23rd July will be next AF.

I feel just normal really. Less bloated and waiting for next AF or to test if no AF. Guessing next AF would be due around 1-4th August. Have said I will text 3rd/4th if nothing by then but Im not holding out much luck.
Work is getting me down at the min.....another here who hates their job. I work full time and would like to return to 3 days a week after mat. Not sure if they will agree to it though. If they dont then I will have to do 3 months full time and look for something else during that time
Had some family issues too which has meant not as much as i would have liked....which is why I doubt very much it will happen for us this month.(not issues with oh btw...things between us couldnt be better)

 

[Luxoire]

Mme - miss you hun..xx yes my AF should be around 23 - i will test by 30thj is nothing comes just in case Natural family planning failed?!...on a positive note, i got OH (power of female persuasion) to agree ot start TTC on our anniversay August 6th so that is 2 weeks away?! i am soo excited. we are no were near financial plans to buy h ouse etc...but oh well, i am sure God will see us though.

Sorry to hear about your job - i really hate mine so been trying to make a list and budget for things that i want to buy when i get preggers before i get really heavy - like cots, moses basket, bottles etc...the number seems to be adding up - will leave clothes, nappies etc...until much later...

sorry to hear about your fam issues too hun..i am sure things would work themselves out soon - try not to let it get to you much so u and hubby can also destress and get all those positive hormones released into your system afetr a good night's humping - even if for babies, just for the fun of it..

Do you haver to go back for 3months? i will looking into that and apparently if you give you notice in time for when your matty leave ends you do nto have to return to work? i really hate my job and can not think of coming back to it after matty leave. plus its too far from home - 4hr commute to and fro daily.

Hi Ladies,
sorry I never got bk to u Luxoire been made at wrk, am one of those dreaded estate agents & its that time of the year for the dreaded student move ins ARHHH.... Make 3 of us hatin on our jobs, i was looking at new careers 2day, but i have a mortgage & like Luxoire said money would be an issue....

Emm am not too sure on the rules but looked on https://www.direct.gov.uk/en/parent...amilies/pregnancyandmaternityrights/index.htm
it seems to go back on what i said abit going bk for 3 months, but from the looks of things you have found further info out. Might b worth calling citizens advice or directgov for full info.

Feeling abit down to b honest girls still no sign of AF its been 31days 2day since i stopped taking the pill.

Hey Tinks u there sweet, has AF been to u yet

 

[Tinks86]

Hi Bumblebee and other ladies
Still no sign for me either ( i'm sure it will happen for us both soon!
Get the odd bit of tummy ache but nothing significant.

Sorry to hear of your problems MME - sending
How are you all anyway?
x

 

[Luxoire]

Bumblebee...ohh yeah, i am a property manager for an estate agent and it is a negative hard going job, very stressfull too so i dont think it will be something i would want to come back to or do wiht a little one at home...i will have to wait and call CAB on that score. it is budy time of the year for us here too

Tinks & Bumblebee - i am sure your SF is not far away stay positive...ii had the most painful lower belly ache last night i was in tears. have had it again this morning although not that bad! like a pain between my belly button all thr way down ..not sure!

nipples are still a little sore - i will wait for next period and then take it from there...really excited we will be TTC August.

 

[mme]

Thats great news Lux - Roll on 6th August
Only 1 more AF to go..
I would have to look into the going back to work thing when the time comes. I wouldnt mind going back part time but full time would be too much with a lo. Plus I dont want to miss lo growing up.

Tinks & Bumblebee - I know the wait is hard and I really hope you both see AF soon.

My head is a bit all over the place at the min.
I have decided after work today I will get home, have a long soak in the bath with my fifty shades book (not sure if any of you are reading it) and just have a calm and relaxing evening. Going to have a night off from the housework as I just feel stressed and on the edge at the min.

 

[Luxoire]

Mme....aww hun bless - yup one more AF to go (if it comes) i feel all funny this last week and my skin is bad (heaven help me i have spots all over my face and chest) its unbelievable...i would want to work only part time too as i wouldnt want to miss out on the kjids growing up - might look for a work from home opportunity or start some kind of business, not sure though...

aww choc...dont worry you just chill out tonight - OH doesnt know it but i am seething at him. somehow we just cant seem to save whatever little we save he seems to find a genuine reason to spend it. the latest being on our anniversary trip - its hard to have a go bcos he genuinely thinks he is doing the right thing and because it is something like our anniversarry holiday, i cant really complain much. where as i think we really can give up some of the pleasures now to achieve a longer term plan. it just seem we work so hard to put a little aside and then he decides to spend it..i'm almost thinking i should give up saving altogther and enjoy the here and now. so i am in foul mood and just spoiling for a fight...

not read 50 shades of grey - although eveyrone is ranting and raving about it...well i think you deserve a nice good long soak - and say Boo hoo to any house chores tonight ..xxx

 

[Tinks86]

you enjoy your bath and book MME - so many of my friends are raving about it - i hear chapter 9 is where its at ha ha!!

Well good news my arrived today - 15 days after coming of Cerazette Just started suddenly this afternoon!!

Hi Ladies,

Luxoire@Hope ur feelings towards OH & money are a little better, I am a save-a-holic, putting money away as a rainy day fund so totally understand ur frustration hun. My current monthly savings is for our wedding & kind of baby lol.

MME@Have you been having any more cheeky dates with Mr Grey, how’s ur past few days been, heres hopin a lot less stressful. Stress isn’t good at anytime but especially wen TTC. Easy for me to say but hard to put into practice, life is stressful

Tinks@, hows AF, still flowing, any pains, heavy/light.

Still nothing for me my boobs have been saw/fuller for the past 3 days and prior to that all of last week my nipples where so sensitive, even when I was in the shower I had to turn my back on the falling water as it felt as though there where getting chafed. Anyway wont be happy till I see AF arrive. I have been doing abit of research on how to bring on AF and came across Agnus Cactus. It’s a herbal remedy which is meant to counter act any hormone imbalance in your body. Its meant to regulate and bring on AF, wondering if to give it ago or if to just let me body do what it wants to do.

I know I said my & OH are happy to leave things up to Mother Nature but kind of getting a little impatient, as I would of really liked to of got my BFP before November.

May I also say Ladies, that I think we have a lovely little group here, all stopping cerazette round about the same time & riding the wave together.

ohhh bumbllebee...you are sweet...thanks for asking...yeah i think i am like you - i plan and save like theres no tomorrow and OH is more concerned about the her and nw most of the ime although hre recognises there may be arainy day - it is frustrating, but God knows how / why he paired us together, i guess we need to learn from each other - good luck wiht the savings hun...i had mine last year, so if u need any tips / help - we'd be happy to offer any tips as best as we can...
RE AF...dont worry you have all the signs to show you are not far off...sore nipples and full breasts are sure certain signs so hopefully ur AF is not that far away...Mine feel HUMONGOUS and my bras feel borrowed almost, but oh well whats a girl to do.
I read about Agnus Castus and was begining to consider it, but then apparently it can not be too good if u fall pregnant on it - so yeah if ur using condoms and as it is herbal, then it may help speed things along - speak to a herbal consultant person first though....

MME - how are you sweety? hope things have calmed down a lot more - as Bumblebee said we cant be doing with all the stress now - although easier said than done and especially as our hormones seem to be all over the place. Just vtake it easy hun. I think your AF is due again in the next couple of weeks or so right?! you can look forward to that or the lack of it

Tinks - i hope the bleeding is not that bad - mine was really bad but i kept telling myself its cos i have not had a proper period in forever, or maybe they were always like that and i just can remember

Like BUMBLEBEE said i love our little group and how we have all helped and supported each other - heres to hopin we all get a BFP round about the same time and can skip the long TTC stage and go right through to preganancy together...xxxx
