Hope your gran makes a speedy recovery Hun! Ttc can be discussed when you feel ready.
Donna that’s bizarre but the docs will probably do nothing about it at this stage. I think I went 6 mo the before they thought they better do something.

Yeah - husband has been laughing at me today for saying I really feel like I'm going to come on soon. I've suddenly calmed down and not worrying as I think I'll have started AF tonight; tomorrow or Saturday at the latest.
After I said that when I went to the toilet I had the smallest amount of brown spotting on my liner but nothing when I wiped. I've got bad backache now as well which just makes me think she's coming soon even more.
As weird as it's all been maybe it's all for the better as if we fall pregnant first cycle it means we'll be due more around the 11th rather than the 5th of Jan or second cycle it would be a week or so after my brothers wedding rather than the same weekend
I know there's also a chance that we might be trying for a lot longer than that too though

I haven’t got a case baby maker, a bunch of you get asked to go to the courts and if they need you they’ll randomly select 12 for each case that goes ahead and some cases don’t go ahead for different reasons so I get sent home! It’s all very boring!
I hope your nan gets well soon, it’s awful when a loved one is ill.
Can’t believe you’re still waiting Donna! Fx this is it though
I spoke to DH about us starting in June/July and he wants to put it back and I said no then today Aria had a complete meltdown, again after talking about another one, she doesn’t have them often and rarely lose our patients but it’s always after we’ve talked about ttc, and hubby goes off on one saying ‘this is puttin me off having more’
I’ll approach the subject closer to the time...

Oh Ellie; that's typical isn't it. I think maybe talking closer to the time will be better as well, especially as that can easily happen and is likely to happen again just because you have a few months to wait.
It's a bit like me with this stupid AF - I even said to my husband that it seems like it's a sign that we shouldn't be trying a few days ago. He just laughed and said yeah it could seem like that but didn't seem phased. I'm feeling a lot more positive about it now anyway; there are lots of reasons I could be late it just took me off guard because I'm not used to it. He's happy anyway as we've just said we'll have to dtd all month just in case I do ovulate later again

Thanks everyone, she had a small stroke but seems to be gaining a bit more strength now. She needs an operation when she's fit enough so once she's had that she'll be fine (hopefully). But she's 82 so not a spring chicken
In more positive news I had a glass of wine last night (or 2...
) and plucked up courage to talk about TTC. DH said I was silly for worrying about talking to him. Long story short he hasn't changed his mind - he's just worried about finances which he really shouldn't be. We didnt discuss a time frame (I thought that would be pushing it a bit lol) but he did agree I should start taking my vits
So, I THINK we're back on track and I'm going to aim for the summer as planned. By summer we should be a bit more financially stable and that should put his mind at rest.
Ellie, these men really know how to play with our emotional state dont they?
Hang in there, he sounds like my OH and they just freak out every now and then. So frustrating!

Glad to hear all should be okay, although you do worry especially at that age. Bless her, I'm sure she still has a good few years in her 
fingers crossed she's well soon and the operation goes well - it sounds like the medical experts are positive about her anyway
Also whoop whoop on talking to your husband, I'm glad he's still on board. Mine is the same with finances so I've just stopped talking to him about that side of it haha - the problem with that is noone would ever have kids if you really thought about the finances each time, they're so expensive.
We went out and saw his colleagues little one again yesterday which got him excited - he was talking about how he's going to get a sling and wear the baby most of the time when we have one so we're not taking the pushchair out all of the time. His other friends who have an almost 2 year old also have a backpack that you put the baby in and he thinks that's an amazing idea (it is great, we went to a BBQ last year in the woods with them and she was in it - it even has a little mirror attached to it so you can see what the little one is doing)
Our 9 year old held the baby as well and he didn't want to put him down, until his arm started hurting.
Also - AF is finally here!!! I've had some bright red spotting this morning and a clump of red too (sorry TMI but exciting after a week of waiting) I also ended up on the stouts last night, I haven't been bothered about drinking for ages but we went to the pub and they had a caramel chocolate stout on so I had to have some of that and then when we got home I raided some of my husbands - so had a coconut one too, I think it was a bit of a blow out before trying haha. I'm not a big beer drinker anymore but we have found some non-alcoholic stouts which will be nice when I can't drink as an alternative as you do get a bit bored of squash and pop if you can't drink at times.

Thanks, Donna Exactly, unless you're born into a very wealthy family finance is always going to be a worry. Or certainly something to take into consideration when planning life changing things like this.
Our conversation soon turned into dtd (lol tmi) and he said I've always been very good at convincing him to go with my ideas. So come summer I'm sure he'll come round to the idea. Especially with the sun out etc and he should be happier anyway.
Wohoooo re AF!! Finally! Really hope it happens quickly for you. If you're not lucky this month will you skip next month as it would be your bro's wedding? Or keep on going?
Yes, make the most of alcohol now lol!

I do need to get back on my diet though; but yes making the most of it to some extent.
It will depend on when my due date would fall; if it's a week or two after the wedding I think we'd risk it. I know that could end up being a nightmare if we have the baby early - but chances of that are slim and also again it's assuming we'd fall pregnant pretty much straight away.

Yes Donna! So glad that witch came, will be the last one you’ll be glad to get hehe
I’ve just got my first positive ovulation test today, so excited and don’t know why as I don’t want another baby Dec/jan, but I told hubby and he said ‘that’s me not touching you for a week’ and I told him if he did touch me in any way I’d jump his bones and he just laughed and said ‘yeah right!’ Hahaha
I’ve got butterflies now
Babymaker I hope your nan does well with the operation and recovery. Also glad you had the conversation with DH but that’s a lot off your mind x
Going to be stalking you in the ttc threads Donna, I know you’ll come back for a chat, but good luck, fingers crossed and so much baby dust xx

Yeah we're getting there
Just going to go with the flow, hopefully lots of ''us'' time over the next couple of weeks to catch ovulation as I'm not going to use OPK's or anything just yet - but also know I clearly ovulated late last cycle so wouldn't want to miss it haha. It's all very exciting

Ooooh this is very exciting Donna!! All systems go now eh! X
I’m ok thanks babymaker, how are you? I’m out with the mums from school tonight, 8 of us going, most of whom I don’t even know lol.

Oooo have a good night Princess, I had a night like that a year or so ago now - I only really knew one of the mums but had a fab night and it was lovely getting to know some of the others I would say I should arrange something with them again, but it depends how TTC goes I suppose.

Donna, sounds like a good plan. No need to stress yourself out before you've even started.
princess, I'm ok thanks, still worried about my grandma though they've found a growth on her lung. It could be nothing or it could be the big 'C'. Being a smoker for 50+ years I can't see that it's nothing but she's optimistic so fingers crossed. She's going for a biopsy next week.
How was your night out? Did you get to know some new mums? Well done for going - I usually shy away from meetings where I dont know many/anyone. I used to suffer quite badly with social anxiety and even though I'm much better, it's still there on certain occasions. If I have to do small talk with someone or meet someone new I get paranoid they don't like me or think what I'm saying is boring or rubbish lol! After a few glasses of wine though, I'm everyone and anyone's friend

Ah babymaker I’m sorry to hear there’s still more work to do with your gran. If it is something, I hope they’ve found it quickly and can put a treatment plan in place.
It was a lovely evening. Turns out I had met a few of them before and I sat down the end of the table with the mums that I already know. 2 of them are nurses so something(ish) in common. I only had one glass of wine (driving), the others got through 5 bottles lol!! Ended up being there til 11pm, much later than any of us thought, must’ve meant we were enjoying it! I feel more comfortable in that organised scenario than making small talk in the playground, although I deal with people each day, I do get flustered in social scenarios!

Oh babymaker hope you get the results quickly, waiting is the worst.
Glad you had a nice evening princess, it good to have a good laugh now and again.
Passed my theory test this morning and found out we have to fork out £700 to replace the whole of a flat roof for a bay window
Enjoying the weather though ha

Congratulations Ellie
well done! Have you booked in for "the big" one yet? eek! Best of luck!!
Sorry to hear about the flat roof How frustrating!
Glad you had nice evening, princess. When you go out do you often get asked lots of questions about work? A few months ago I went out and met a new school mum who is a vet and I asked a million questions (it's another profession i find fascinating) and it wasn't until the next morning I thought "she probably didnt want to talk about work..." oops
