Stopping BCP to TTC***Updates & Progress/Noted Changes Since Stopping BCP***24BFPs***

Guess we will all figure it out together! Leave/no leave....

I know i need a bigger place. But lease is up in feb...so nothing i can do now. But...need $$ to get a bigger place. Lol. Need pur two houses to sell so we can have that $$. :)

The younger me would have waited to TTC until all that was done....the older me....F It. Ill figure it out. Rotfl
 
Here it's 25 weeks at 70% of salary, then 27 weeks at 50%, the father gets 5 weeks at 70%. I'm always sad to hear some places have so little leave, it's so important!
 
Damn! I'm moving and getting a new employer!!!

I get 0. Lol. I can use the sick leave I have....but i used it all in July. Dad was in the ICU for two months.
 
DH and I are definitely worried about the financial stuff but the way we see it, if we wait until we're better off, we will never have children. If we have a baby now, we will figure it out and make it work no matter what.
 
Girls today I tried to dip a pregancy test into Dr. pepper (don't ask), and I'm happy to say Dr. pepper is having a baby! XD seriously though, there's a faint line, how weird is that!?
 
Danna.....dont tell me that! I had one with lunch (a treat as i never drink soda)....my chart is off enough as it is...please dont tell me I'll be having false positives now. Lol

Cdex...well put. I'm turning 37 in dec. (gulp) and I cant wait any longer. Time is not on my side. Lol
 
Hello everyone! Hope it's okay for me to join in. I was kinda in the NTNP category before, but seems like we're moving more in to the TTC category, so here I am. :)

Did Nuvaring for 4 years, and right before that did 2 shots-worth of Depo. I'm still trying to figure on what's going on with my body. Should have AF this upcoming week, but who knows what's up.

Interesting talking about leave. Here it's 17 weeks during pregnancy, and 37 weeks after baby's born. It's all unpaid leave though. May have better luck depending on who you work for, but that's the bare minimum.
 
My goodness, there's some sneaky eggs hiding in this thread! At this rate I'll catch up to you girls!

I feel kinda bad reading about maternity leave, here in Sweden you get 460 days, it's only about 60% of your wage but you can take it out 7 days a week and then you'll have about 80% of your regular earnings. And nursery is a maximum of 200 pounds a month, which is roughly the amount you get from the government for having a baby! That being said, it's stopping me from moving back to UK cuz we can't afford it, plus the system may be free where infertility is involved but they refuse to help!

I've been seriously depressed this week, knowing I'll lose this month ttc, my surgery is booked post ov next month so that's shot too, then I won't see the specialist for a few weeks after the appt so it'll basically be 2015 before she even decides on a next step which is so frustrating when she's told me the polyp is so small it's likely not the cause of my infertility but they have to rule it out.... Going to phone her next week and cry until she does something useful for once!

Sorry for the long post, I broke down and cried in hubby's arms last night, we rarely talk about ttc, he's very much a "i can't do anything about it so I won't think about it" kinda guy so when he's sick of waiting I know it's bad! :(

I've just got back to gymming this week though, all these painful months have seen the scales tip from the comfort eating! The single thing I have control over at the moment is how much I exercise and what I put in my mouth so I'm going to focus on that :(
 
Hello Lavender! Welcome to the mad house :wave: how long were you NTNP for? Are you thinking about tracking ov now?
 
Welcome Lavender!

Danna - Where do you live? (If you don't mind me asking?) I'm in the UK & can't get my head around maternity leave & pay! Ack. I don't want to stop TTC for a month though, just in case, I'd rather go without the pay! How irresponsible of me!

So confused by my clear blue monitor.. I'm still getting flashing smileys (day 10!!!). The lines are getting darker though. I know you're not supposed to look at the lines on the strip, but I couldn't help myself & the test line was the same as the control line today, that's got to mean something? The rest of the time, the test line has been much lighter than the control. I'll double check with a cheapie later on today. I'm so paranoid that I've missed my O. We had an argument on Friday so didn't DTD (plus I was far too tired). Knowing my luck, that'll be the day that I O! This timing thing is a nightmare. I just want to O already!! I've been getting lots of EWCM the last couple of days, I'm hoping my eggy arrives soon! It's getting close to the time I O'd last time, so FX!!
 
Aww patience....Hugs hugs hugs.

Can you find a different dr? One who you feel is better fit for you?
 
Charmed. ...I'm laughing at all of us this month. Staring at little strips....waiting for something to happen.

Where or where are our Os?

Haha, I know! Oh dear :haha::blush:

I think I might have actually got my +OPK this afternoon! Hope DH is in the mood :winkwink:
 
Sweet!!! Come on DH...you know you want to....

:happydance::happydance:

I was reading posts from a while back about.. Um, keeping the soldiers in.. Haha! Because of that though, I've started to stay lying down for a few mins after DTD. I've noticed there's a lot less cleanup that way, so hopefully it helps! I read a study that was saying more women who laid down after IUI got pregnant than those who didn't. I guess every little helps! :D
 
I'm trying to master the right pillow placement....but yes. Keeps them in. Absorb away! I sometimes wonder if my pillow isn't high enough. Wonder how high you actually need.
 
Charmed I live in Québec, Canada :)

Welcome Lavender!

At the moment I'm wondering how long I should wait to induce a period, like id I bleed would it help the next cycle? Or it won't change a thing as I didn't complete real cycle anyway?
 
Hi ladies, I have missed a couple pages of posts and will reread when I have time but wanted to let you know I got my cross hairs today and ff says I'm 3 dpo :)
