Lovely new thread Chloe - thank you - FX it brings you and lots of others BFP!
Lovely bedroom too - DD will be so excited.
Mummya thank you for you support 
so pleased you are going to lurk, was feeling guilty that us newbies had taken over the thread. FX for you and a happy valentines day!
Mumtum I think AandR and mummyA are right - this might help
www.pregnancyloss.info/waitingforaf.htm
My EPU told me that new AF would look like fresh blood - so most likely that anything more brown in colour is sadly left over.
AndR hope you are ok FX they are symptoms. X
Would write more but pesky cat has decided keyboard is a good place to lounge so will go and make tea.
Lily annoying aren't they!
oh and meant to say ninu I went swimming and had loads of baths when I was mid m/c (I thought it'd stopped - hmm.. found out later it hadn't even really started!) bcs didn't realise I shouldn't - until I read the interweb. Then freaked out. I was fine, and am sure you will be.
Just watch out for the signs of infection - fever, pain, fluey symptoms and if you get any of them get back to EPU or GP as soon as you can for a check up and antibiotics. Take care x
Chloe wow your work is amazing!!!!
MummyA I would be sad if you left here - your advice is great and so is your support. I think its also reassuring that we're not the only ones that are here for the long haul. It would be great if you still stopped by occasionally.
Blackkat Yes, mine either walks on the keyboard or sits upright between the keyboard and the screen! Occasionlly he chases the cursor too....
Collie with you on the , hmmm which colour tonight?
lily White for me tonight, but just one... Ok maybe two!!!
Lily and blackkat I have 2 cats who both always want to climb all over the laptop.... That or sit on it!!
can't stay as off to the our local theater for the play I thought I was seeing last week!!! Lol hope it's worth it!!
Have a good night ladies xx
Hello, just popping in check out the new thread. Very nice
not much news from me. Just finishing af. Going out to a posh resturant with dp tonight for our 4 years together anniversary so a bit excited
do come and say hello sometimes mummya or I will miss you! You were one of the regulars who really got me through the difficult times after my mc. I hope you get your bfp soon!
mumtum if you have had your post mc bfn then you can start to ttc if you really feel you are ready. I wasn't really up for trying to hard straight after having my mc but on the other hand once I had a bfn and new everything was clear I didn't do anything to stop me getting preg, just didn't try very hard.
Ohhh, my 2 cats used to do that all the time. They used to make it a point to sit and cover what ever it was that was taking my attention away from them (keyboard, text books, boyfriends...)
I miss my cats 
I can't get another one since DH is super allergic to them.
Thanks for the bath advice ladies.
Just popping in to mark my place and hand out some more
Like mummya I've been posting more on the long-term ttc after mc common room thread, which I hope no one will take offence at - but eight months after mc'ing a bfp that took nearly three years to get I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm probably in it for the long haul and "just mc" isn't really me anymore!
However I will be popping in on you to see how you're getting on and join in any more 80s discos so please keep me on the list. Hopefully one day I'll be coming in to report some good news!!
This really is a fantastic thread, and the level of support you get here is amazing. I hope you all get as much from it as I have had, and continue to get. Although hopefully you won't be here quite as long!
I'll be keeping my fx to see you moving up that list and onto the bfps very soon xxx
izzy thanks for your help, advice and over the last week. I feel like a different person since I've found support here.
Please do keep checking up on us. We'll load lots of 80's tunes for you and keep the topped up. Keeping my FX for you - know how tough it can be to be trying for so long xx ((hugs))
hiding happy anniversary hope you had a lovely night
What's going on? Where's everyone going?
Sorry if I scared you all away with my millions of questions!
Best of luck in the common room, but don't hesitate to drop in for a 
and a chat whenever you feel like it. (is that a new emoticon?)
Hi Ladies!
ohh exciting new thread! Although does feel a bit strange and bare! Let's hope that this is the lucky one for us
Thanks collie for adding me to the list extra info is TTC #2 and UCL 34 days. I have a DD who is 2 1/2 & supercute and would love a baby sister or brother lets hope I can deliver!
Well I think my AF has now finished, although that is only 3/4 days which seems quite short. Going to start the smeg plan soon. Feeling quite positive at the moment and I'm focusing on getting that BFP.
Saw discussion about drinking (sorry don't know how to get wine symbol!) I've been reading Zita Wests' book and she says it's ok to drink on period and up to ovulation but once ovulation takes place not to drink at all. Not sure about that one I look forward to a cheeky one (or 2) at the weekend.
Lovely new thread Chloe hope its lucky for you
Hope no one is offended that I am "leaving" - as you can see already its a loose term
About 7 months ago when I first joined the thread the 6th form common room thread was just started up because a lot of oldies vintage TTCers felt the same as I do now. I too worried I had scared them off with newbie chatter! Anyway, I will pop back, I am on MN far too often and far too nosey a person not too! for those with AF and
for TTCers! xxxxx
I also remember when the common room first started and feeling quite and that we had somehow offended those moving over. It's really not like that, believe me, you lot are fab and while it's obviously very to see so many new people here, it's lovely to see the thread regenerate and the support continue. But - as the title suggests - this thread is supposed to be for those who are restarting their ttc journey and that just doesn't fit me right now. I hope that makes sense - as you can see you're not really getting rid of me at all
For those of you engaged in the debate, I have to say if I had abstained for the entire time we had been in various stages of ttc since dd was born I would have been teetotal for about 4 years now and would probably have gone completely mental. It's great if you conceive fairly easily but if you're like me - and don't - then you just have to get on with normality after a while or go crazy obsessing
On that note to all...
What happened??? We've had mass exodus!!
oldies I'm sorry you've felt you need to move threads I understand why but feel dreadful you've been ousted from here. Starting to get to know you these past few weeks has been lovely and I've appreciated your support. I hope at the move to the common room is a lucky charm for you.
velvet really sorry about the new thread that's totally my fault I hope it didn't upset you. mummya just mentioned we needed a new one and being the newbie didn't want to be the one so suggested chole as she posted. Hope it's not why you've left
hiding hope your posh dinner was yummy. Congrats on your anniversary!
LILI glad your AF has finished. Think I have another day left of mine but I too am feeling in better spiritss and looking forward to giving SMEG ago this month.

Just to add to the wine, chocolate and coffee debate Here is an Interesting article The FSA also has some good advice and there is a thread on it all at the moment.
I have had two pregnancies which I sailed through - I drank in moderation (but by chance had had a huge binge drink just before finding out I was pregnant both times 
), I ate pretty much everything, and I rode my bike until I was 38 weeks pregnant (much easier than being on the tube or bus). I had two 10lb very healthy DDs. My DMum and DSis-in-L (20 dcs between them) are just bewildered by the amount of advice that it out there now. I am fighting hard to keep my sensible hat on with all the advice we have bombarded on us. It is so hard to fight against the 'just in case' feeling but I think given that it is a longer rockier road this time it is even more important for me to keep living life as I have always done and to take the raft of advice dumped on us with a huge pinch of salt!
morning all,
izzy velvet again you will both be very much missed, all of yours and mummya's advice, and support have been invaluable over the last few weeks, your conversations bringing laughter on some of my darkest days. I wish you all the very best of luck.
