Uk SMOG Wannabes ~ February

[deaks66]

Hi all,

Kell, im not surprised those pups keeping you awake... my dog was several weeks older when we first bought her home and she was still a noisy little tike! Mind you that was more her crying as she missed her mum bless.

Sunset, i get my results tomorrow. Docs supposed to be calling me at 10.30 but think i may call first thing as desperate to know how much and how quickly my levels have increased! On a good note, definately feeling queasy today and had small boughts of it yesterday and the other day so think hormones definately kicking in

Babymad, how are you hun? is dh home yet? dont be hard on yourself, you are DEFINATELY NOT a bad mum! You are having to deal with alot and like someone else said (inglewood i think), the boys wont remember if you have a off day...or loads of off days even! You arent superhuman and you will be able to make it up to them at another time. Sending you a massive hug X

Pinga and maybe pink...how are you two doing? I hope things are starting to get a little easier!

Hi everyone else! Lavender, hope and dreams...when are you next attempts?

Kell - lol at your pizza baby! Hmm Ben and jerrys baby would be nice here.

My oldest chum came up yesterday with her dd who is 18 months. She kept on saying I am having a girl. Had a bit of sulk when she left but luckily these moments pass fast for me.

Chocolate I am the same with the ivf as it means never say never. But really think I will complete after dave. Plus dh won't talk about it till he is here. Plus with my bp playing up he really is less keen than ever to try again. I would be 38 39 as well and my eggs are more than past there best before!

Honestly this sounds mad but if I was to start the menopause I would be so so happy as it's forces that door shut. I hate that 'but what if I was too ...' feeling. Because there is also a 'what if I blew 30k on ivf and didnt get pg? Surely that would hurt even more than not trying?

Basically as we all know these feelings just suck. Just even thinking about it makes me guilty

Kell, ha ha see what you mean about pizza, Im hungry now though lol

Deaks, def. ring first thing, great for sickness, but sucks!

Maybebabythree, I know what you mean about loosing 30k, its only worth it if you get a girl out of it, Id want to keep trying to make the money worth it but havent got that sort of money to keep trying. Sometimes when I look at just the holiday of going to cyprus I think wow, never thought to go abroad, how cool would that be to take the 3 boys every year. We could use that money to go on a hot holiday each year instead of IVF, very hard! I dont know, for now we will save for it but I think nearer the time I would probably feel content with what I have and would rather put the money to other uses like deposits for the kids first homes, but then if IVF worked in 2 cycles then we would have time to save up for that too after wards. If the IVF we would sway 1 last time for number 4. I dont know if we would consider swaying first for number 4 then consider IVF for number 5, but if twins could mean 6 kids and we only ever said 3 or 4.
Im driving myself mad, need my scan next Saturday to hurry up!

ha ha check out my horoscope: Home is highlighted in a week that finds you surrounded by happy domestic bustle. There's a lot of help around you, while a creative project is rewarding and wellbeing fills your heart!

So funny, this probably means: you will find out bubs is a boy and you will have support around you and your high teck project will bring wellbeing ha ha ha

Hi everyone was dreading missing 2 days worth of posts and trying to remember what was said by the time I come to post!! lol but it's been quiet....

Kell, my DH is an east coaster, nice over there. Lovely to have ur mum around!

Deaks, hope u got ur results ok??? Will keep checking. xx

Sunset, that would of been nice, but I'm so far from any of you!

I got a horrible letter from Child Tax credit office today saying I earn too much to continue to get the whole £38 tax credit I get each month and as from April I will get nowt! With the 2 babies coming I still won't get 1 extra penny!!!!!! They have removed the 'baby' element of the child tax credit after telling me I would get it (was £100-ish per mth for both of them, not each, till they were 1yr old) I don't even earn that much (2 nights per wk) and dh is part-time too (30hrs). So pissed off, this Government are a joke!! I was hoping that it would help while I was on half pay... STRESS!!

On a plus, should find out my babies birthday tomorrow! Can't believe I am 30wks on thurs!!! so excited.

[Lavenderlime]

Inglewood I feel for you child Tax credit is a massive load of crap such a stupid system. I only work 10-15 Hours a week and I get £10 a week child tax credit when I wasn't working I think I got about £50. It's only really worth working when I end up staying late and the tips are good. I can't believe you are getting nothing! Can't you appeal?

We've had a busy weekend leveling the back garden and breaking up concrete ready to lay slabs, also exposing pipework as were having a new bathroom fitted in few weeks and some of the plumbing needs re-jigging. I've also decided to re-do ds2's room even though it was only done about a year ago. I've got him a lovely little cast iron victorian dormetory bed. Just need to sell his boat bed! I've also been painting some new chest of drawers for his room and scouting around for material to make get a quilt made So been busy, busy.

Deaks how did it go at the dr.s?
