So near, yet so far! Holiday villa for those waiting TTC#1 having suffered mc

I'm sorry that on my first day in the villa I seem to have missed my round ! I know it's only 10.30am, but I've brought a few jugs of Pimm's - they've got fruit in after all...

Dachs - sorry to hear you've got to wait until Monday. Keeping everything crossed for you!

Owl - I've loving the idea of pickled eggs... have a glass of Pimms. I'm afraid I know nothing about CBFM, but I did find my thermometer and opk sticks this morning and start charting again. Day 7 in the Wombat house and operation upduff begins again!

Mamap Cadbury's chocolate cluster poker - sounds great!

owl what's all this about buying something lovely for myself? isn't that what DH is for? (He bought me two handbags while we were in town yesterday, and then took me out for lunch :) )

Whoop! Hello wombat lovely. Hope you are recovering & welcome to our fred. Hope the house hunting goes well.

Dachs arse - how annoying when you'd got yourself all geared up for it. However , two follicles are better than one so probably worth the wait - I reckon it's a good excuse to buy yourself something lovely (do we ever need an excuse?)

MamaP the shiraz was so bloody lovely I've followed it up with a half of ale this afternoon - but as it is day 10 I should probably knock it on the head in the next few days or the eggs will be pickled like those ones you see in chip shops.

Hairy I have been getting highs on the CBFM for 3 days already but no peak. I think it is having a laugh at my expense, the overpriced little mechanical bastard. If it doesn't give me a peak soon I shall die of exhaustion and bits of DH may drop off. Poor Mr Owlshoes.

I have one thing to say.

Grrrrrrr.

Not happening until Monday. One follie the right size, everything else ok, but they want to give the other follie a chance to catch up, so I'm booked in for 2.30 on Monday.

So it's good to know that I am definitely booked in this time, but it means DH will be at work rather than able to take me home and pamper me afterwards, and we have the building work starting on the house on Monday, so lots of noise and dust and not exactly a restful place to go home to.

Was SO hoping it would be today :(

Right, I'm going to love you and leave you all for the time being. I'm off to view a load of houses that I can't really afford to buy (not without continung to save very hard for a few more months [or years ]anyway), but they'd make lovely family homes... so somehow it seemed to fit in with my resolution to look to the future to go and view them this weekend...

Pinot Grigio? At 11.55 in the morning?!?!?! Now I know I'm on holiday

Thanks! I am definitely not abstaining from alcohol at the moment.....I'll have a Pinot Grigio!

Morning hairy!! Have some chocolate buttons.

Waves madly at wombat

Hello, can I join? I'm TTC our first too. Have had one hell of a couple of months: started TTC, got told we had a 50/50% chance of any pregancy we have been affected by a genetic abnormailty and therefore having to decide whether or not to terminate or have a disabled child, then found out I was pg, got my head around it, got excited, had a miscarriage at 7wks (on Monday). Luckily (??) the bleeding has been relatively short lived, so given we know it's going to be a long a traumatic road, we're gearing up to try again asap. A lovely lounge in the sun by the pool sounds like just what I need!

Hi Wakari sorry about your MC.

I'm in the 'odd glass of wine' gang too :)

Am hoping for a short bike ride, and my DSD is coming over to do some more work on her essay for her Baccalaureate (also doing 3 A levels!)
May then visit pregnant sis, if she's around.

Had a bit of an emotional meltdown this morning - issues with ex, work AND ovulation rage !

but lots of cuddles made me feel better, and I got another peak on CBFM

I'm also going with the 'odd glass of wine won't hurt' school of thought. This evening; a nice aussie shiraz. Yum :)

Welcome Wakari - grab yourself a sunlounger my lovely and make free with the cocktails :)

wakari sorry to hear about your mc. Everyone here is lovely, it's a good place to be.

I hope your spotting clears up soon and your cycles settle quickly.

pull up a sun lounger and have a cocktail. the pool is also lovely and hot in the sun.

Hi

This is the thread for me i think. I had a MC at he end of last month and had to have a D&C.

Like MamaPower I think I have a short Luteal phase (brown discharge on 9 DPO) and I am taking B6 to try to improve this.

I am still spotting from the D&C and just hoping it will stop soon. I bled from 11DPO the month I conceived so had nearly 7 weeks of bleeding before D&C . I am planning to see how my cycles are before TTC again

mamap Sadly my only weekend plan is to go to the clinic appointment and see whether it is going to happen tomorrow or whether i have to wait until Monday. I have, however, decided that this weekend (procedure or no procedure) we will allow ourselves to drink some wine. Have been abstaining for weeks, but you need to let yourself have a treat now and again, and DH is really tired from working too hard so I know he'd like a glass of wine to unwind with.

Good luck with the business plan. What kind of business are you buying? Sounds exciting!

Good luck with the clinic stuff as well, hope it all goes well. Unfortunately haven't had much time to read lately so I've just been consuming the odd bit of chick lit here and there, but nothing I could particularly recommend. Sorry.

Yeah I see what you mean Mama - I guess it's people trying to find something to say that'a nice and failing dismally.

Oh! I quite like the"at least I know" thing. But that's prob because I am ancient and just kind of assumed I couldn't!

Well done Dachs - I need something like that to shut people up. It's not horrid at all; it's not a question I would ever dream of asking anyone - even before this happened - as it's basically as personal as asking 'my! Is that a toupe you're wearing?' or 'crikey! Are you guys still having sex or have you gone right off each other?'

Everything is crossed for your IUI; hope it all goes well.

Chocs holidays are def. the best way to get BFPs, I am planning one right now that, funnily enough, co-incides beautifully with October's predicted ovulation date...ah, forward planning. Now I just have to work out how to sneak all the pee-sticks and CBFM into my luggage without DH noticing them.

Kat I find myself douting my sanity daily. I reckon I spend about 80% of my waking hours thinking about TTC - clearly I am losing the plot and it is a miracle I get anything else done! I suspect it's not actually helping with the TTC either.

MamaP if you get no joy from your GP - ask to see a different one. I used to work with GPs and they all have specialist interests - if you happen to have one who had no interest in fertility then you might be better asking the practice manager if any of them do have a specialist interest - or sometimes they list them on their websites? I got lucky with my last GP and his specialist interest was acupuncture - so I had that done in the surgery!
