Thanks guys for all the 'good luck' wishes......I just got home and i'm in two minds. The interview was fine, asked a lot of questions ie. what they think i would bring to the company, why I applied, why that industry, etc etc, and i just felt that i was lying to them.....well moreso, just trying to convince myself that i actually want that job.
It's an industry that i know and have had pretty much all of my work history in, but those questions just made me question myself as to whether i actually want to be in that industry at all anymore....
I always said that when we moved here i'd get a job in Coles or Big W or something like that, that is stress free and pretty cruisy so that we can still have TTC as our main focus, but DH is desperate for me to be working and now i don't know what to do. It would be a great job......but do i want the pressure??? and deep down, I'm really having doubts, so is my sub conciousness trying to tell me something... Someone help me please, I need some words of wisdom from you girls...xxx
Shan - Maybe being in a busy job might help keep your mind occupied! I find that I think about ttc way too much now I've moved over to this slow boring job that I've had for the last year. I miss the excitement of my old busy stressful job to be honest. Good luck with making a decision. Do you think they are keen? Would it involve long long hours?
Wow I have been in Melbourne for work and I come back it has been really busy here! Welcome to the new ladies, I am really sorry for your loss though you will find the most amazing women in this thread xxx
Shan - hmm I understand what you mean about questioning wheather you want to go back to something that you know and is stressful. GL in whatever you decide is right for you xxx
Lisa- yep I have a greeaaaat feeling about you this month babe
Hope- sweetie hope you are just wonderful
Megan - yay another scan to see you precious bean xx
big hello to all the lovely ladies mwahxxxxx
Well for this is the week of lots and lots bd'ing!! I brought some pre-seed stuff of lullaby conceptions has anyone else used this? It is meant to be a good sperm friendly lubricant. As last month we sometimes used a normal lubricant which can act a barrier for the spermes (I didn't realise ).
So come gals lets have loads of BFP
xxxxxx

Hi girls,
Sounds like there's been a shagathon going on at some of your places!!! I can't wait to hear about your XMAS BFP's-- I just know there's going to be some!!
I've been very slack in posting and keeping up with all of you gorgeous ladies. But I have still been checking in on you every day. I've had contiual brown spotting for the past two weeks now and it is definitely doing my head in, as you can imagine. As you know the scan last friday was positive so I'm trying to focus on that. Last night though I actually passed a small clot bout the size of a little finger nail and I thought that was IT! But the spotting seems to have really eased now (touch wood) and I'm hoping it stays that way. I have another ob/gyn appmnt on Tuesday so I'll beg him to do another scan-- I'm already feeling very anxious about it and half expect to see an empty sac or something equally distressing. ANYHOO I hat being such a negative nancy but it's mighty hard not to be after what has gone before.
Shan-- Great news on the job! Maybe this job came your way for a reason? And you know the old saying about concieving the minute you stop thinking about it!! It might take the stress out of it if you have other things to think about and challenges to overcome. Plus you've lost nothing if you give it a go and then decide it really isn't for you. You can always leave- there's nothing stopping you.
Megan-- Have fun tomorrow. Try to enjoy it as much as you can!! I'm so jealous. I really wish someone could just knock me out until I was about 13 weeks!
Lisa-- What did your np say about your lovely ovaries?? Are they cooperating?
Kez-- Hubby must be excited about what you've got in store for him! He won't know what's hit him. I remember when we first started TTC my DH said "I hope it doesn't work first time around"-- he was too focussed on the shagging!! I'll bet he'd take it back now. I know the last couple of times he was like "are we seriously doing it again tonight?" He started to call it "downloading"!! On a different note, how are your pups going? Stelly is runniong around like a complete pork chop now and has just got the full nod from the specialist in Brisvegas. The plate can stay in her little leg too they said- you can actually feel it through her skin-- eewww! to all Mako, Hindonly and Tanya and all you other lovely ladies that i SHOULD remember-- is it too early to blame preg. brain??
Good morning I had a sleep in this morning, a much needed one. I went to see Elton John in Sydney last night and we didn't get home until 1:30 (getting out of the entertainment centre carpark, what a nightmare!) - brilliant concert though. Fortunately, today there's industrial action over the new IR laws and the school's shut until lunch. Feel a bit guilty about not getting to a meeting, but certainly support the protest. Other news is that I finally got into the dentist yesterday straight after school and I have an abscessed tooth - a back molar that I can't afford to lose so now I'm on antibiotics with an appointment to see an endodontist in two weeks. And I think I O'd on Monday or Tuesday, because I got a +OPK but my temperatures are still zigzagging so FF doesn't think I have. Oh well.
Mummyto1, re: your question about OPKs, the only positive one I had before m/c was the cycle I got pg and it was really, really dark and the following day's OPK was still pretty dark, but not as dark as the control line. This week's was only just as dark as the control line and registered next to nothing on the days either side. If I have O'd, it's very late. So I strongly suspect AF is just days away.
Hi, Belinda! Yes, it's good to see a familiar face but I wish with all my heart that we were both still in the June 1-15 belly buddies thread. Maybe we will graduate out of here at the same time, that would be wonderful.
Shan, the job opportunity sounds like an interesting conundrum! Hope you're successful, you could always decide later if you want to keep going with it. As my DP has pointed out to me in the past, slavery has been abolished!
Mako, how are you going? Hope you're ok.
Lind, are you back from school camp yet - looking forward to hearing if you managed to solve the beeping thermometer challenge!
Chepie, the pre-seed is excellent. I had success first time I used it. And I used it again on Sunday, so it's worked this time, too.
Sticky vibes and positive thoughts for you Megan and Hope! Good luck with the all your scans!!
Good luck Morganj and Lisa, hindonly and Tanya! Hope we'll all see a BFP for Christmas! And hello to everyone else, who I've missed It's going to take a little while to learn everyone's names!
love and hugs

i just got back from the IR rallie in Melbourne - it was great and there was a cast of thousands.
Not much to report - went to see the NP last night and she said I had ovulated and now its just a waiting game, although Im not too confident and she did mutter something about xmas, but she did say it was very close now and my body is in perfect balance and ready to carry a bub.
Shan - IKWYM about the job front but I suppose its about choosing the lesser of two evils. On one hand its great to be busy to help keep your mind off things and on the other it can be a bit stressful and combined with the stress of ttc it can all get too much sometimes, but then with a job at coles or somewhere you will no doubt get bored and the motonony can easily bring you down and give you so much more time to ponder ttc and it could inturn make you more crazy (not that I think your crazy - its just a figure of speech). So its a matter of deciding what is right for you at this time in your life. Trust your instincts and im sure you will make the right choice.
Megan - any news honey on your scan??
Belinda - how are you going sweets? Is your cycle behaving?
Princess - hi sweety... i dont chart hun so i cant really give you advice on your chart, but I will pray that you caught that little eggy this month
Tanya - how are you? In the TWW??
Kerry - I hope you did O and bd around that time! trying to understand what your body is doing can be so frustrating! Its really sad to have you and Belinda in here but I hope you can both graduate together really soon.
Kez - praying that the preseed does the trick and you dont miss the boat this month! I wish i could wave a magic want and get you all preggers with one swift movement of the hand! But for know I will stick to praying for you all.
Morgan - hope you are doing well sweety. Any sign of af or O?
Hind - where are things with you - are you gearing up for O or has that happened?
Mummyto1 - welcome to our group - i am deeply sorry for your loss sweety and hope you will be blessed with a sticky bfp soon. Look forward to chatting with you and cheering you through this new ttc journey.
Lou, Cilmum, Susie, Mako - hope you ladies are doing well and keeping up your ttc efforts in hope of a nice chrissy bfp.
Hope - sending you big hugs and praying that this is the end of the brown cm visits and you will see a stronger than ever little bubba next week!
Amy / Missy/ Michelle and all the other pg bellies that come to visit - all my love and big belly rubs to you all.
A big hi to anyone I have missed! There are too many gals in here now - we need to clear this thread and bombard the gals in PAML!
Me - not feeling sooo positive about a bfp but thats okay as the NP has assured me it will be soon. It means I can have some wine over xmas and wont have my head bowled over in a toilet LOL!!
