Just MC and ready to try again? Pack your cake, wine and tightie whities and join us for more ranting, weeping and most of all, laughing. All welcome (Part 7)

PS. Dachs if you're out there, hope you're doing okay my lovely ((squish))

Morning all :)

BrownB it's no fun being stuck at the top of the list, is it? I took myself off it completely for a bit which I found helped, but still lurked in here for the good company :)

MummyA Whoop! Fingers crossed things are getting back to normal for you at last.

PV Eating (and drinking) whatever you want during the festive season sounds like a top idea as does a break from 2WW mentalling - hope it does you a world of good and you get our first 2011 bfp!

Was it Nicks who wanted to do a name change for halloween? If so, you just change your username under the 'my mumsnet' bit.

PFF To be fair I did purchase some ebay cheapies but they haven't arrived yet :) Basically if it's in the house I'll pee on it, regardless of reason, DPO, etc - which is why I ran out in the first place Am sure AF will arrive today or tomorrow as I am lucky enough to have a cycle one could set one's watch by - and I don't feel remotely up the duff, sadly. Never mind, at least the holiday SWI was good fun.

Just updating the list for today (pretty I've taken you off for now - enjoy all that booze and mouldy cheese over the festive season!)

mummya that sounds very hopeful. Keep us posted!

thanks all for the welcome pack of chocs and wine.

I had a rather nice glass of rioja last night and fell asleep in front of the apprentice so never got to see who went

Had some sleep but woke up at 5am and couldn't get back off - annoying. Had to get up to change pad anyway I guess you are not supposed to use tampons?

Am going to have to make a sad trip to the shops to get more pads. Am down to my last one. Was really hoping to not have to buy any more for some time!

Hope you are all doing ok today
x

BrownB are you ok? Hope you're doing alright and that you get the news you want before long...

We can take you off the stats if you want, but please still feel free to pop in whenever you want if you need a chat x

pv hope you're doing ok too, lovely. I can understand the needing a break over Christmas and hope you have a lovely relaxing time (and that you're back before long - hopefully with a bfp!) . Take care and do keep popping in to let us know how you're doing x

mummya yay re bleeding!! (only in here could I write that!). Fx it turns into proper AF soon!!!

batfink - any news?! anymore symptoms to spot??

Hello everybodypeeps.
Just a quickie as I'm shooting off to work shortly.
I'm on D5 now ,booo!
I've decided to leave TTC till 2011 as I need to focus on work and I want to do and eat what ever I fancy over the festive season.
I'll still drop in and see how you are all getting along though.

Yey for MA [hgrin]

Hello again to Getdown, these ladies are sooper douper and will look after you.

BrownB are you ok Toots?

Love to you all. X

Oops, also hi to getdown!

Yey for mummya!
Back later for proper postage.

Hello there... After my little issue with posting the daily stats, I won't be trying that again. So probably best to remove me....

Cheers all.

News flash: I have got blood in my knickers. Had a bit of spotting after the gynelogical torture procedure yesterday, but didnt think much of it, but its 24 hours later and just had a noticeable splodge. (still on the pill by the way) Not sure what to make of it.

Forgive me if I relay details of every drop over the next few hours, after 7 months of waiting for normal periods to resume, this feels really momentous.

Day 10 till day 21 Blimey, you must be knackered! Thats way more than DH and I ever managed, no wonder you want a break. I'm a glad you and your DH are keeping a sense of humour about it all.

strange that you havent had your temp rise though hope it shows up soon. xxxx

mummya noooooooo....!!!! > actually, we can't at the minute because I'm at my parents' and dh isn't joining us until the weekend, so we're having a break. But in any event, I'm on day 22 and have never had a cycle longer than 29 days, so if I do ov now it'll be pretty pointless anyway.

And just to reassure you nicks we never manage more than twice a day (nothing compared to knitter I know!). This month it's been once a day but the problem is the length of time it's been ongoing (got my first CBFM high at day 10). So it's really not that impressive, and for the record next month I am definitely just doing every other day until peak, then daily for a few days, because it has really been a bit much this time round [no stamina emoticon]. Dh was saying last night that he needed a break but (at my look of horror- bearing in mind 2nd day of peak - and with an utter lack of enthusiasm) "don't worry we can keep relentlessly banging away at it tonight" . Then we just ended up laughing until we cried, so at least if romance is truly dead chez izz we are managing to keep a smile on our faces

I am so not looking forward to seeing my intercourse timing chart on ff - I just know it's going to be 12 days of " great effort but complete waste of time" followed by a week of "why weren't you shagging now?!" and then straight into AF.

Now then, back to the important stuff - who is testing?!!

sorry got days wrong just been consulting FF, NIGHT NIGHT ALL hope tomorrow is a good one XX

LadyBoo Hang in there with the potty training - its great when its done! Watching Potty Time with Elmo one zillion times helped DS sort out all his issues pretty quick, although having only ONE topic of conversation for so long didnt do much for my social skills

He also enjoyed "teaching" the dolly I bought him how to use its own plastic potty - especially when dolly got sweets when she got it right, that made him sprint to his own potty! Unfortunatley DH has big issues with his son playing with a pink dolly, (latino man thing) so that was a bit short lived. I knicked the idea from Dr Phils Potty Train in One Day (pffff yeah right!!) It took us a few weeks but I am so glad its done. Keep at it!!!

Hello everyone

Getdown, I am really sorry for your loss. I told everyone I knew that I was pregnant too, and then winced about it for ages, you are not alone. Also having an mc does tend to magnify any feelings of guilt, anger and sorrow that you have, so do try and recognise that its a natural response and dont beat yourself up too much. I found This site was a great help to me, I think I have read nearly every page. Helped me a lot trying to work out if my recovery was normal (wasnt unfortunatley, I still havent got a period 7 months later eeek!) I agree with the others, now is the time for treats and indulgance, here is your welcome pack

Izzy I'm struggling to find a way to say this without sounding like a nag or wierd or something, but I think you should do some more shagging! I would trust a temp rise any day of the week over CBFM peak. I believe this because peak (LH surge) means ovulation imminent/likely but not that its definitely happened, I would start shagging at the peak and keep going until the temp rise if I were you. Bear in mind that when you put your SWI dates in FF it will haunt you all through the two week wait as it draws a pretty chart called "Intercourse timing" and labels your efforts "Score = GOOD/FAIR/PATHETIC" (OK so that might not be the exact terminology, but it can feel like it!) Sorry if you are knackered and its not what you want to hear...Tell me to mind my own business if you like though!

yyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

aghghg omg these girls on the Apprentice are all soooooooooooooooo embarrassing! Yep Melissa's the blond one but tbh Laura is doing my head in too

HELLO

O' nearly forgot my Crap/pathetic waste of paper thought for day...I owe tax man £0.81p Grrrrrrrrrh!!!!!!

Happy amazing use of paper thought for the day he owes me over £700!!!!!Wooooooopie

Apprentice sweepstake on who you reckon is going to get kicked out tonight? I really really really really really really really hope it's Melissa....

BOO 2.6 is early still for a boy! MY DS just 3 and still poos his pants! and has lots of accidents! All different, and yet my friends DD was trained at 17months (so advanced dont'ya know? [hangry])

I on the other hand have had a better day! [hwink]

getdown sorry you are on here :( it sucks doesnt it? ((((HUGS))) re hte cycle, i think it depends how far in you went, plus how it was "removed" ie naturally or eprc which ultimately determines how long it takes to get back to normal - so i keep being told. Whether that is true i dont know [hgrin] My WTF cycle was 3 weeks after bleed stopped, no apparent ov, My first cycle just complete post MC has been 4 days shorter than normal so thats good. My stress levels i think delayed ov tho. It does get easier, we were all blubbering wrecks on here in the beginning, cry as it helps! xxxxxxxx One thingi will say is that no matter how early it was, it is still YOUR loss, your baby, your dreams shattered in an instant...just try to ignore the do-gooders comments and take the time you need to grieve. Its not stupid telling everyone. I did! First pg i told select friends and fam at 5 wks (took to term) last pg i think just about everyone knew....... its hideous untelling! But you arent alone :(

Izz how many times is 'plenty' in a night, and how do you have the time? (or the energy!) [hgrin] [henvy]

gizzards still not managed to change my name!! DONT KNOW HOW BUT WANT TO - buggeration!

fondant stop whinging and get on with it [hgrin]can you tell my mother is cruel a matron?

Gah gotta go, DS is not wanting to sleep this eve........got my lurgy bug [hsad]

velvet (()) for you, having a close friend a week behind must be v hard for you :( I keep having to try and stop thoughts going round and round in my head. Like the guy at work who's wife is about to have 20 week scan must have just got their BFP when I was in the middle of a mc world of doom, so why are they going to have a happy ending when I didn't???? I know there is no answer to that but still can't stop it going round and round. I think that's what gets to me even though I'm trying to focus on the fact that them having a baby doesn't take away me having mine. Just feel resentful that ttc and being pregnant is going to be nothing but stressful and upsetting for me yet it's all fluffy and happy for them :( dooooooommmmmmmmm!!!!!

Also plan detox is leading to nothing but misery, even colleagues have noticed!! Having said that I feel thinner already and I started reading some scary research about the effect sugar had on b vits, your blood and oestrogen eeeek!! I got distracted by having to do some work though, will try and find and will post here if interesting. So if it actually has an effect on actually getting up fudged I'll stop whinging and embrace the lentil curry and minestrone soup I'm currently living off.....

Thanks for looking at my chart girls, am v grateful for your reassurance. I bought a proper bbt thermo from boots today so am going to use both thermos for rest of cycle to see how they differ!

owlinnerds how can you be so sure of AFs imminent arrival??? I bow down in awe of your lack of hpt stash!! Bring able to booze with inlaws coming will devo take edge off AFs arrival tho if she does (I hope she doesn't tho!!)

Hi getdown sorry you find yourself here :( I hope you find it a reassuring place to hang out for a bit. I'd do another preg test as once it goes neg you'll know you've prob got another few weeks until AF starts. I hope DH is spoiling you.

Sorry if I've not namechecked anyone, on phone on train trying to stop all my belongings rolling away! Have a lovely evening all apprentice tonight yay! Xx
