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)

PFF love the happy thought book idea, what a great thing to do. Campervan shopping sounds v exciting, be sure to let us know how you get on. Hope you enjoy the acupuncture too - I'm finding it really good so far.

And I think MrIzz might have been more amenable to the new regime if I hadn't stupidly made him "perform" every single day since my first CBFM high a week ago. Big strategy re-think next month!

wombat interesting point - maybe it does only work because they're pressuring you into having more sex. Then again, if it results in a bfp at some point I probably won't care why it worked [hgrin]

nicks your meal sounds lovely, it's freezing here today too!! Try not to worry about spotting, may not turn into AF - as pink says, it's probably just irritation of the cervix after swab/swi or something.

(still [henvy] of mamap's trip to Oz and KL)

oh, my happy thoughts are: I had a fab parents evening yesterday, a nice relaxing day today, and prescription shagging from now till the weekend [hsmile]

Hi ladies, guess what?

I had a message from my gp surgery today saying I needed to get in touch as something had come up in all the screening the hospital had done so I rang back and they asked me to come in

Long story short....I have MRSA!!!!!!!

Seriously, this has been the shittiest of shit months!

xxx

Thanks for the ideas. Will consider and if the weather is anything like today then hot cider will be very welcome.

I haven't heard anything from Sarahmia, I'm afraid.

PFF a 'happy thoughts book' sounds like a lovely idea!!! Maybe I'll try that :)

Izzy do you think that's how fertility accupunturists (accupunturers? What's the noun??) get their success rates? Nothing too do with the needles at all and all down to the fact they tell their clients to have more sex...?

Hello all!

wombat I think actively trying to focus on happy things is a brilliant idea, just after the MC I bought a new notebook (I loooove stationery - saddo!) and every day wrote down the 'beautiful thought of the day' - got the idea off some cheezy american website but basically wrote down all the nice things that had happened that day. Some days I had to think really really hard about it but could always come up with something. Haven't done it for months now but maybe I'll crack it back out. My happy thought of the day is that it's almost the weekend and DH have a v. chilled weekend with absolutely nothing planned except test driving a campervan!!! Eeek so excited! Literally everyone I've told has basically said "I was previously worried about your mental health after the MC but now I have had all my worries confirmed, you have officially lost the plot" hehehehe Oh and in other news, I've booked for acupuncture on Saturday lunchtime, v. excited about that too, although a bit nervous...

Hugs for you too owly, totally understand miserableness about SIL, that is going to happen to me any day now, it's like it's become some kind of race - like I needed the extra pressure.... Yay for boots, what sort and where are you going to go to track them down?

mummya fab news that stopping the red clover has made you feel better. I also thought herb stuff couldn't really hurt you except I watched an episode of Holby City where someone got really sick from too much herbal stuff hehe I think I learn too many 'facts' from Holby.. Clearly this one is actually true though! Hahaha about the room full of pee sticks - hard to imagine what else could possibly be there, except maybe people like acupuncturists would get a stall there to advertise?

nicks hehe your typos are as bad as my phone posts! Random thought about your streaking - when I had spotting before the MC I was desperately googling for non-sinister reasons why I might be bleeding, and apparently people can have a sensitive cervix so that if something touches it e.g. during sex or a smear, it can cause a bit of bleeding but it's not coming from your womb it's actually coming from your cervix. Anyway that might be what it is, but as the oracle says, even if it AF, it's not something to worry about. Sorry about spots, same here..... What does coffee do for implantantion btw? How is the cold coming on? Fingers crossed you're feeling better soon - try and get lots of sleep in the meantime.

Izzy about twice a day!! Hope Mr Izz is feeling strong!

Hugs for mamap 2ww does weird things to your brain! 4 days in KL sounds fab though, YUM for satay!

Can't remember who here said that travelling delays ov - that would explain what the hell happened last month then!! So my genius plan to go away for the week around ov for plenty of SWI totally backfired! Oh well, was good holiday at least!

We are just about to sit down for home made pie and mash hearty food fir cold weather. Hope that warms your cockles wobbles xx

PS Ooh Owl what kind of boots?

Hugs owl. Sorry SIL's news feels crap for you. I totally know what you mean. xxx

Nicks sorry to hear you're bleeding. Hopefully it will all sort out soon. I do hope it wasn't the nurse cutting you that caused it!!

Aw, womble . Happy things is a good idea, I too am majorly down in the dumps as SIL is up the duff and they are considerably younger than I am as well which makes me feel like an old bugger.

BUT: Happy thoughts! It's the end of my working week in half an hour, and tomorrow I shall go shopping for a new pair of boots :)

Talk about Freudian slip!!!! I meant: 'It was a LOVELY and sunny morning'. D'oh!!

I need some happy news or at least to focus a bit more oon the good things in life. Felling down in the dumps and struggling to pull myself out of it. Anyone got anything cheery they fancy sharing?

I'll start: It was lonely and sunny this morning and the sun had melted all the frost on my car windscreen so I got to the station earlier than I thought and had time to get a cup of tea to drink on the train :)

Ok Ta mama ever the voice if reassurance!! Add that to mid cycle spotting a wk before ov I am confused;(

Think may seek out doc for a chat, but obviously wait to see what it turns out to be!!

Sorry that was supposed to read silly cow nurse cut me yest < mutters at damn phone>

Sorry on here so much today. Really pissed off. Have streaky discharge which either means the silly cow nurse test cut me or my period is starting which would give me a very low lp. Ov day 23/24 and Af day 32, not good. Never had that before.

Plus also still incredibly spotty on my cheeks so my self confidence not that great :(

Sorry whinge over

Thanks Izzy and Nix to be honest I didnt think it was going to have any affect at all, other than being a placebo. Now I have new respect.

So getting back to this fertility show, do you think it is just a giant room full of pee sticks?

Is anyone going (so that you can report back and satisfy my curiosity)?

Only slight downer from today's appointment is that the acupuncturist advised me to swi morning and night if poss for the next couple of days, so the mammoth shagathon continues chez izzy [hgrin]

mummyabroad glad you're feeling better after stopping the RCB. I think sometimes we get so carried away with the supposed benefits of all these vitamins and herbs that we don't stop to consider the possibility of any side effects!

Ah mamap sorry you were rutting with dh, hope you kiss and make up

Morning all,

Sorry for not catching up personally, finding it hard to jump back in after missing the action for a while.

Just wanted to report on the Red Clover Blossom I've been taking, its been making me feel rubbish! I wasnt sure at first, but I stopped three days ago and am starting to feel better again, so I think that was what was responsible for making me feel really depressed, anxious and tearful! (as if I need more of that!)

Just a little forewarning in case anyone else was thinking about trying it.

Love to all xxx

No sunshine here wombo miserable and cold, heating on full!! Frozzen last night i was!

owls & PFF i remember those conversations, trying not to conceive but not trying to if that makes sense, now MC has happened i am turned into a woman possessed!! CANNOT miss the window, according to DH he is gonna diarise my symptoms also so he can tell me when i am ov... as last month i was Ov five times during the month!!

I would love to trace my family tree, i think my auntie has started to do it, but sadly not related to anyone famous, although an old school friend i know traced hers back to william shakespeare (i think it was him... seems a distant memory) So Fondant you cant be blamed for being mutinous,its in your genes [hgrin] Izz when you watch who am i on TV and you see how many children women had that didnt survive their conditions its very sad. Without medicine now some babies wouldnt be conceived, or survive these days [hsad]

Feeling a litle more hooman now thanks guys, lots of coffee...defo wont be implanted this month then!! Lots of love and big hugs to those who need it - im off to try and carry on in the bedroom, sadly not nookie but yet more decorating. Not even got to wallpapering yet :(

Chocky so sorry about your sad news. I hope you manage to make it hopme okay and to celebrate her amzingly long life despite the sadness. Good luck with the presentation. xxx

Nicks Hope the lurgy b####rs off soon!

Good morning to everyone else! Hope you all have lovely days and enjoy the sunshine :) Mine's going to be busy so if you see me on here, tell me to get on with my work!! [hgrin]

Aw, Choccy v.sorry to hear about your bad news, hope you are okay.

Dachs sorry also to hear about your little doggie, hope he's doing alright.

PFF yes; I remember when we began TTC it was all "righto, we'll just shag and see what happens" but post-mc the charting and counting and POASing began and now I can't put it down :( I feel like if I do I might randomly ovulate in a different week or something. And thus the mentalling begins....

Bat I think we need to do the Alpine thing and add some cognac to that hot chocolate.

PFF I am quite impressed by them calling it "pandora's box". That seems quite an elevated term when one compares it to muff, minge etc.

chocky so sorry for your loss. Sending you and family hugs xx

wombat that's a bit of a PITA.

pretty Sorry, I didn't mean to shame you! Lovely to see you back, and glad to hear the hands are feeling a lickle better. Still splinted, or not?

Yey to velvet about ofsted, bet that's a weight off! Is work still grim, or getting better, you were having trouble a little while back?

Spiced Cider is sounding fab. It's bloody freezing too, so could be just what I need. I wish I wasn't at work today!

Hope everyone else is ok! sending hot water bottles and hot chocolate!
