well done Mrs PV - you know what happens to all those who start threads...

Honeywitch · 27/07/2010 20:25

Ooh, I'm near the beginning! Please can someone explain the lists?

I miscarried last week, I'm 40, this would have been my first.

I usually have a 28 day cycle, and counting from start of mc, would have been day 1 on the 14th. Is that right?

We are trying again - my dp was a lot more upset than we were expecting. Before, this was always about "you and your need for a child" (he has 2 grown-up ones, who I'm very fond of) but I am very excited that dp and I are now actively trying for a family together...

Magic8ballhastheanswers · 27/07/2010 20:28

Yay....well done Pretty xxxx

You're definitely in for a BFP now MrsP - BU started the last one did she not?

Bee I can't offer any advice as I had an ERPC but still thinking of you lots pal x

Hey Honeywitch, sorry you find yourself here but you're in good company with this lovely bunch. You've got the hang of the list stats - if this is your first cycle its traditionally known here as the WTF cycle due to its erratic nature and the next one is cycle 1.

hairytriangle · 27/07/2010 21:13

Wave!!!

saffronbun · 27/07/2010 21:24

Hoorah and welcome honeywitch - so sorry to hear of your loss & hoping you feel better soon.

MrsPV you are definitely next in line for BFP now!!

Shall I just congratulate you now pv? With the non arrival of RTD AND starting the new thread it is for sure you are updiffed matey. Thanks for starting new thread.

honeywitch sorry for your loss, you have come to the right place

tigger I think I forgot to answer your questions about tests and whatnot. We got seen by a consultant who took a whole load of blood from me and one lot from dh. I think it's the same as cheepz said. Karotyping, which takes about 8 weeks to come back and then thyroid, thrombo something to see if I have sticky blood, I can't remember the others as I'm sure there were about 5. He also said they'd tested the last tissue that was taken during the erpc and said it came back as normal but that doesn't mean there's deffo nothing wrong though apparently!

delilahbelle · 27/07/2010 22:13

Hey all

My WTF cycle is nearly over I think... it's a couple of days longer than expected as I normally start spotting CD27...it's now CD29 and nothing yet but have tested and BFN. Hoping things will be back to normal soon!

honeywitch everyone here is lovely, and really gets what you are going through. Hopefully it will be a short stay for you.

pv I am feeling good vibes about this thread starting...

at everyone else... I should be heading to bed not hanging around on here...

PrettyVacant1 · 27/07/2010 22:28

Yey!
Stop making me even more menkul you luvverly lot.
4 Bfn say otherwise but hey ho, not giving in till caaaah arrives.

Honeywhich welcome to the mad house
Have you been stalking us or was it pure co-inki-dink that you came across new fred?
(I'm the cheeky nosey one with little tact btw)
Joking aside, sorry you have found yourself here but it's a fab little group who have got me through many a moment.

Was going to add a list but as there are a few changes peeps could make those decisions themselves. xx

Welcome honeywitch. I'm forty two and ttc first, also just mc. You'll like it here - great bunch of supportive ladies!

PrettyVacant1 · 27/07/2010 23:28

Sorry Honeywitch
I'm also the one who can't spel proper.

Yey for HeythereDelilah for the end of WTF ness.

< Digressing slightly >
Our Craptop is poorly sick
It's got a nasty virus that keeps asking for card details to update software we didn't ask for.
Sounds perfectly legit to me.
Check yours, as 2 friends have just called asking to pick Mr.G's brian as their's are doing the same.
Our craptop is protected to the bleedin hilt too!

Barstewards!

youremindmeofthebabe · 28/07/2010 08:51

OOh, does it say that its a special software thing that just wants your card details, prettyv? Tell me the name of it, I had one last week and can tell you how to get rid of the narsty bugger.

I am cycle wtf. I had spotting the other day, approx on day 9? No signs of ov or EWCM or anything else that may he deemed remotely interesting.

So, I am slightly disheartened, but never mind.
I am excited for cheepz and envisage myself being there soon!

Hope you're all well, and you've got some support empty. Take care of yourself.

VivClicquot · 28/07/2010 09:10

Morning all x

Hurrah for the new thread!

Pretty, my darling, I hope being the creator of the thread brings you more luck than when I created the last-but-one one. I also hope you've smuggled some more pee-sticks in your handbag today?

Hi to honeywitch and welcome. Am glad you've found our lovely little corner of MN - it's a very supportive place to be.

I'm def out. Spotting getting heavier, so with AF due today or tomorrow, I guess it's on to cycle nine. NINE. Sigh. Me and DH had a bit of a teary moment about it this morning - we're getting very very very fed up indeed.

(So I've decided to throw myself into planning our next holiday. )

Magic8ballhastheanswers · 28/07/2010 09:11

Hi Honeywitch you have come to the right place I hope you are getting lots of support right now x

Sorry for memememe especially when I am updiffed and haven't been namechecking......having a wobble today.....loads of cramping this morning although only mild, am trying so hard not to panic.....hoping it's just growing pains Scan arranged for Friday and I am bricking it.

Anyway I hope you guys are ok........you still hanging in there pretty? x

Magic8ballhastheanswers · 28/07/2010 09:13

Viv I am sorry my magic8 didn't work xxxxxx

VivClicquot · 28/07/2010 09:23

Thanks honey. Here's to magic9, eh?

And try not to worry about the cramping. Am sure everything is fine and you're just having a good ol' stretch to make room for mini8 xxx

Magic8ballhastheanswers · 28/07/2010 09:29

Sending you all the magic8 power and some! xx Thanks hun I have gotten over myself now!!

Pippaandpolly · 28/07/2010 09:45

Hello all, mind if I join you? I miscarried in May and we're officially trying again now. Is anyone else scared of miscarrying again? I know that if I do get pregnant again I'm going to be terrified throughout.

PrettyVacant1 · 28/07/2010 11:25

Hello Peeps.

8theball hows your leetle friend?
As Vivster said I'm sure ikkle8 is just planning where to put things.
The scan will put your mind at rest xxx

Viv soz bout spots. Boo indeed.
< Squishes for you >

YRMOTB The boy is pretty good with pooters and fixed it.
It was the the dodgy spyware one yes.
Ta la for the offer though

Welcome Pippaandpolly sorry for your loss. We're a good bunch to go through the ups and downs with.
It's understandable you're worried about MC again but you with good company who understands how you feel.

Today in lala land...

Deeey 29?? in the Vacant hooouse and Daddy still hasn't bought me a pony RTD has not yet rocked up.
Hmmm.
It's a conspiracy I tells ya.

Not exactly been what you'd call active as yet today but it normally rears ugly mugly by now.
I'm meeting my friend that I don't see as often as I should in a while.
She's got a 9wk old and a nearly 3yr old so there's going to be lots of snuggles and singing done.

I popped into Mothercare yesterday to buy them both something and the lady very kindly put the frikkin catalouge I was eyeing in my bag for me.
I'm not saying I didn't want it but I think as I wear my heart on my face the mental pained expression I must have been wearing whilst staring at the cover made her want to get rid of me asap.

I've also confirmed the Baby Shower for Sunday.
Who in their right mind agrees to do a bleedin baby shower 3 days before their EDD should have feckin been!
I really hope I make some dosh to make it worthwhile as if I'm not diffed I'll be going out and getting trollied afterwards!

It will also hopefully pay off long term as it's at a mega posh hotel and they've asked me if they advertise the fact that they will host them will I be willing to go along provide my pampering services.
Er.... Yeah!

No, it's not fair. In fact, we've had pretty bloody shitty luck all round.

But I'm trying really really hard not to get caught up in that way of thinking - although I wanted to throttle my GP when she said it to me, I do agree with her that half of the battle with TTC is in the mind. So if you've not got a happy head or a positive outlook, then that's half the battle lost. I just have to keep faith that one day, it WILL happen for us. Easier said than done though, innit?

reserves right to change mind and scowl next time anyone says ohitwillhappenwhenithappens

batteryhen · 28/07/2010 15:06

Hello - I thought maybe you had all moved and not told me

It's nice in this new room - but I don't much like the curtains.....

Hello to all - and hello to new peple sorry you are here, but you are welcome x

viv rubbish about AF. I know what you mean about people saying 'it will happen when it does'. How often do you wish you could turn around and say 'why don't you just f**k right off. Thanks.'

pretty thought this might have been your month - has AF come yet? Or is the old biatch keeping you in suspenders?

Ladybee I am so sorry you are going through this, love and hugs your way xx

magic how is the stretchy womb going?? Thats all it is you know ...

Seems to be my week of embarassment - not only have I been spotted nipple stroking- but my DPs friend has suggested that we may want to shut the curtains sometimes - as he and his wife spotted me and DP 'getting friendly on the sofa' AKA shagging on the couch. Great. Personally I think he is a peeping tom as you have to crane your neck to look in our windows. But I will take that advice on board!

Well no news from the hen coop. I am at work - its midwife day so I can hear the heart beats on the monitor coming through the wall I hope that might be me in a few months time...

Are we doing a shiney new list or not ??

KnitterNotTwitter · 28/07/2010 15:18

Hello (with extra wave at Honeywitch)

Can I join? I miscarried last week at 13 weeks - having lost another baby from an ectopic pregnancy back in March this year too. I had an ERPC this Monday and now I'm starting to think about the future again... So I guess I'm on my WTF cycle now (still bleeding from ERPC actually) and we're going to wait a cycle before actually TTC but this seemed like the right place to be....
