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)

Heheh nix I'm thinking of changing my name to rabbitfood.....

That would be photocopied cake fondant!

Also, meant to say mummya were you ok after baby shower? Hope it didn't upset you :( xx

Hello wonderif sorry for your loss :( Sorry, I am of absolutely no use on what the new bleeding means, but I have got everything crossed for you for ovulation or implantation!!

nix I too am very excited about your symptoms! Peeing lots has to be a good sign, surely??!?! Heheh maybe if I tell my body I'm not dieting but I'm actually xeroxing maybe it will leave me alone with the constant daydreams about chocolate cake?? [hhmm]

mummya you poor thing with the surprise baby shower! Hehehe about DH having no idea what the party was about, lucky you found out otherwise could have been soooo embarrassing! My temp is back down low again today, trying not to get too worried about anovulation yet, especially as I know for a fact I sleep with my mouth open so reckon the whole thing is likely to be meaningless...... DH is feeling quite victorious this morning about his decision to withhold services yesterday and stick with the every other day rule - lucky he's sensible otherwise we would have peaked too soon again. I would love to share my chart with you - it's here: www.fertilityfriend.com/home/318e86 hehehehe would love to see what you make of that! I'll have to wait and see what the evil shag dictator machine has to say about things later on today (I made a hash of setting it up on day 1 so it only accepts pee sticks from 7:15 onwards, so I have to pee in a plastic cup and be patient when I get up!!) Good luck with the gynae tomorrow - I have everything crossed that they will be Dr House-esque and know exactly what the problem is and how to fix it xx

Have a lovely day everyone, even though it is Monday..... xx

Hello girlies,

Just back from a surprise baby shower It was supposed to be a surprise for the mother to be (DH's sis) but it was also a surprise for me as clueless DH didnt know it was a baby shower unitl a couple of hours before hand (he said he thought it was just "a lunch" - men!) So I had to sprint round getting and wrapping a present, making the whole family presentable and digging out the camera. Luckily all the rushing around meant that I didnt have any time to worry about whether it would make me feel sad or not, and it all was all over quite quick. So Phew!, thats that done with at least.

chocky hope that nasty bug disappears soon and you start feeling better. xx

Pink, temp jumps are exciting arent they? I know what you mean about charting making you feel all proactive. I credit it for helping me identity my current problem, if I hadnt been able to identify ovulation I would still be letting doctors fob me off telling me to wait a bit longer for my cycles to come back. If you want to share your chart I'm happy to over analyse it with you.

apples good news about the scan! I'm glad for you My appointment with the gyne is on Tuesday, I am starting to get nervous about it already. I dont know when doctors appointments became such huge scary ordeals for me, but each one has a three day stress build up before hand and then it takes about a week to wind down from the news after! Exhausting!

Jamface I would definitely keep up the SWI if I were you. I think OPK's have a downside in that they can give you a false sense of security and make you stop SWI too soon. The instructions say ov is 12-36 hours after the positive but this is not guaranteed. Stress, ill health, travel, exercise can all delay ov for days. So remember you have detected an LH surge, but you havent detected ovulation, so dont stop the SWI! (if you want you can use temping or cervix checking to know when to stop)

wonderif sorry for your loss. I remember your name from other threads too, hello again. Make yourself at home here, these ladies are all so lovely and supportive, hope they help you as much as they have helped me. P.S. Hope it is implantation! xx

Nix pretty interesting symptoms there... FX for you xxx

thanks nickstermum, cycle length is generally full month, i have cramps also, hard to know suppose will just have to wait and see :(

nightmare for everyone on here what we all have had to go through

Wonder, if you cd 1 was oct 13th then it's more likely to be mid cycle, poss ov bleed? Mind you depends on cycle lengh doesn't it? Short cycles could poss be! I am long cycles so what do I know x sorry for your loss :( I recognise you from another thread

hi everyone new to this thread, i had a missed mc at 18 weeks , happened at end of july, we havent made any conscious decision on trying again.

My period arrived in august and has followed every month , couple of days late in october, 1st day was 13th october.

today however have started to bleed no heavy, just spotting pink/brown (sorry tmi)

i really dont have much clue about the dates etc but could there be a chance this is an implantation bleed, i am clutching at straws i think. :(

A r mum..,, up fudged just sounds very very wrong!! Gonna purlt me off fudge bars for life. Or maybe thats a new way of cervix checking ! Oh dear, that's just so so wrong! brainclearly befuddled need sleep, back to grindstone tomorrow ;(

Xeroxing meant..... Not photocopying clearly but de toxing!!!

Fondant! I thunk it's grapefruit unto ov then after is pineapple together with brazil nuts!

The list of ridiculousness gives more info ! Xeroxing is horrid. All I want to eat is shit! Have been at the chocolate digestives all weekend! ( I say I abstain from sugar but clearly I am just a total liar!!) Take that away and it's a bit like withdrawal symptoms ! Couple of days you will be fine;)

Nixs love the idea of being upfudged!! Here's hoping for a fudgy result for you!!!

PFF the only thing which works for me is to never tell myself I am on a diet or not allowed to eat anything in particular as I do the same and obsess about it - instead I have an iphone app which counts calories and having to type in a cake just puts me off eating it - sometimes!!

Hi Pff yes it does get easier, honestly. I gave up caffeine and crappy sweet stuff after seeing a nutritionist. I felt hideous for 2 days, in a complete heady fug and then on the 3rd day felt better, the cravings stopped and I had more energy. Now I snack on oat cakes and brazil nuts feeling rather smug

Up fudged Mmmm clearly that is the I phone definition of up duffage !!

Peeing for England!!

Big fat cat trod on my left boob earlier and it hurt! But then he weighs a ton! Nobbly nips still nobly from bf ds... And still veiny!

But no I'm not symptom spotting at all, no not me, never !! All i know is I feel Like shite due To lurgy, and barsteward dh wouldn't let me have a paracetamol just in case!!! Doh! I don't think I am up fudged day 35 and waiting for period! Emotional and angry but that's normal Pmt ,

Hi Inbetweener I am on the same mission weight wise. I think I spent the 6 months trying to get pregnant last time trying to eat myself pregnant! I have ended up going back to exercising regularly and it is helping immensely with the stress side of things if not necessarily the weight!

Choccy hope you are on the improve. The change of weather is a nightmare for health.

Good luck with all the positive OPKs and hard working DHs! We are in the middle of trying to get planning permission with a very difficult neighbour which is putting TTC a bit on the back burner.

Aghghgh since I've decided to go cold turkey on cake and chocolate it's all I can think about!!! Aghghg [hhmm] anyone else tried to do this ridiculous act clearing upness?? Does it get easier??

Great news on the supportive midwife apples. In my area you don't get a booking in until 12 weeks so when I get updiffed I'm gonna be on my own during the scariest bit, quality eh?

Hey nicks any other signs?! Sorry no idea about cervix.

owly how was your weekend? Hopefully quite chilled if you've been spending time with mr google.

jam sorry no idea but the others are v knowledgable so hopefully some good advice coming your way. The little I know is that I think ewcm comes before ov so you should sti ll be ok tomorrow i would have thought but I don't know about opk's. I like Aiden too, I suspect it might be wrong though!!!

I've been watching ace Ventura in the xf breaks, I looooooooove that film!!

That's what I think but then I've always had a soft spot for geeky, awkward, intense muso types!

Matt is gorgeous! Reminds me of a better looking but rather short chris Martin!!

Nope Aiden is rather yummy ;)

Hey owls and jam just wondered !! But thanks!! Had a prod earlier so was wondering! Jam doubt in with a chance ( me I mean) but always hopeful of course!! I don't get sore boobs til further in so wouldn't know anyway!

Jam - of course you will have a strong chance I am loving Aiden too and he is a baby!! Reminds me of R patz

Aiden wrong... Harry not so much ;)

I'm not sure nicks,why? You feeling changes. Fingers crossed, very exciting.
I'm on day 11. I've had lots of ewcm since yesterday morning. We swi last night and I just peed on opk and got a pos line (didn't when I peed at lunch). Now I know there's no chance of swi tonight as dh is out (and in a bad mood!) so do you think I'm in with a chance if we have a rumble again tomorrow? Also, cervix doesn't feel particularly high. Does that meas ov is still maybe a day or so away? I'm just a bit new to these ov spotting techniques.
Am writing this keeping one eye on xf. Is it wrong to have a bit of a crush on Aiden even though I'm probably twice his age? And Harry from one direction. And matt.
Sorry for not name checking everyone but hello to one and all x
