TTC after MC, ERPC anyone want to join me??

Thanks for all your well wishes ladies - BFN for me I'm sorry to say (even "lucky" combo of morning testing with Clearblue didn't do the trick!) yet still absolutely no sign of AF and am 3 days late now.... I am just putting it down to body getting back to normal post ERPC. Still doesn't sort out my thrush dilemma - might go to pharmacist and get their advice on taking a pill (not pessary) as cream not doing the job. However, last time I asked for it, the guy just didn't understand me and I almost had to resort to sign language......

mrsb - good luck if you decide to test. It is early as you say.....

kitkey - big ouch! Is filling temporary and they'll take it out at a later date? I do hope so, toothache is miserable.... what about some "medicinal" numbing relief?!

nurse - hope you're not working tooooo hard with everything you've got on.

{{waves}} to everyone else.

hi ladies, good luck for tomorrow wombat, tomorrows offically 6 days b4 af is due, so technically i can test with the right tests????
Part of me thinks it a bfn as im having pms symptoms today, bad headache, tireness,hungry...blarr blarr blarr blarr
im in london for work tomorrow so may grab a test from boots on the way home a due an early test or should i wait till the weekend?? Test or not to test thats the question!!
Im so frightened!! Not really sure why??
Did a cheapo ebay test earlier and it was negative, maybe thats an omen!!!

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS MANAMANA -Fingers and toes crossed for you.

I think I am out this month - well if not then it will be a hardy one - been having severe toothache for a week now and knocking back the painkillers - had a filling today which has made the pain 100000 times worse- it is a wisdom tooth so would rather have just waited to have it taken out rather that this stupid filling.

Can't post much as pain is severe and can't concentrate but wanted to wish wombat good luck for testing tomorrow. Will come back tomorrow- hope pain is a bit better by then.

No problem, I eagerly await your update tomorrow! Fingers crossed. And toes.

Aw thanks ladies - you're great. Pretty much confirmed what I was thinking. So.... gritted teeth, cream and the occasional furtive itch it is. I feel as if I deserve a BFP tomorrow now - will keep you posted for sure! xx

wombat, I'd personally probably rather not with the pessary until AF arrives, I'd worry about anything oop inside, if you see what I mean. Can cream/yoghurt/gritted teeth see you through until AF/BFP? I think you would worry if you used the pessary to be honest as you've got that 'what if??!!' thing going on at the moment. Plus for you to feel you need to ask indicates that you are unsure, and you have enough stress going on. Having only had thrush twice and having found the cream of little use without the pessary, I can see the dilemma though. Do what you need to do with our wholehearted support, I am merely profering advice as asked, based on what I would do, sat here as I am in itch-free comfort (evil unsupportive )

winter just quickly cos am on phone - I wouldn't risk a pessary, early bfn can become bfp. I know it must be so irritating but that's just my view!

sparkly - your DH is hilarious! Let's see if it does the trick - you'll at least have fun trying . Glad you have the wine, cheese and pate (and rotten tomatoes) stacked up.

mana - fab stuff on the details - thanks for those - will definitely try the dipping cervix more often. It will be reeeeeally tricky to keep it to yourself so good luck with that.

wellie - where are you emigrating to?! Very exciting and I'm sure a wee bit scary too. Do stay on mumsnet with us - you can be an abroader like me!

Some advice please ladies - I've got a blinkin' annoying dose of thrush which I would normally do the pessary thing or pop a pill for but am reluctant to as everything I've read says don't if you're PG. I am using the cream as it's just way too uncomfortable otherwise. So.... no AF right now, testing tomorrow but expecting BFN. If it is BFN, do I risk a pill / pessary? I'm normally on a 28 or 29 day cycle and tomorrow would make it day 31.... thanks in advance

Hi all,
Sorry I've been busy with finishing up work this week prior to emigrating at the end of the month and at the same time, so I haven't been posting much, though I have been keeping an eye on you all and lurking!

Welcome lexi but sorry you need to be here, if you know what I mean, I had a blighted ovum too, lots of love to you.

((((mana)))) on the BFP!!!! That is FAB news and gives the rest of us hope. I'm still waiting for first AF - we are not TTC until after that, I am getting a bit impatient but guess I shouldn't be too surprised, as I did bleed for quite a long time after ERPC. Hope you are doing OK, it is only natural that you don't want to give out a big YAY yet, please do stick around!

Waves to everyone else!

Sparkly, the hendrix moves are making me laugh! Have to say dh and I have been trying to get the dipping action post swi activity which has been fun and apparently effective. Enjoy the guitar moves :-) I am glad the rotten eggs are still in their boxes ;-) but understand completely. Particularly in light of af's arrival. I have only just managed to speak to the fairly heavily pregnant lady in my office this week after mostly avoiding her last week, I am v pleased that you are all happy to put up with me. Enjoy the wine, cheese and pate fest.

Ok, so let me be useful and pass on what we've been up to... Far too much detail but I know you want it!!!
Missionary position with every effort to get me to orgasm after dh, apart from one quicky in the shower on xmas morning which may have been perfectly timed! Me lying still for a while afterwards, didn't get around to legs up or bicycling. No grapefruit. Only started my low caffeine, low booze after jan1st so don't think that was a factor.

Dh is quite excited, but worried about me. I am just trying to take each day as it comes and not plan ahead as it was all the lost plans that i felt weree particularly crushing. I am keeping a notebook with dates, tests, symptoms etc so that I don't have to keep it all in my head.

Symptoms... That horrible pant wetness that makes you feel like you're bleeding, odd bowel stuff, constipation, some loose, gassy etc, and feeling a tiny bit sick when I first wake up. But now sore boobs yet and no loosening of joints yet (bad spd with ds2 and last time I feel quite wobbly fairly early).

Yes yellow, I had a feeling that I was which was why I tested. After last pg when I was getting so stressed about scan and felt odd I have decided to start trying to listen to body more.

Wombat, fingers crossed if you do test, I'm all in favourite of a bit of screwy logic in these situations.

Take care all. Am off for coffee with some friends now. Am going to struggle keeping it to myself as it's tricky to think about anything else but I really don't want anyone to know this time.

Symptoms....

wombat, wine is a chunky red, thus is breathing as we type! I am also going to use the steam room in the gym tonight, then come home and bathe in soft cheese and pate
It is a little disheartening, but these things will happen when they do. Hats off to mana though for SWI every other day for 3 weeks, I have clearly not been putting sufficient effort in; I didn't even bicycle for heaven's sake!

DH and I were formulating our plan of action for this month on the way to work and he is against any wormlike manoeuvres so has promised to "play me like a Hendrix solo" He then did an air guitar flourish which put me off quite frankly, but we'll see how it pans out.
Good luck with your testing tomorrow!

Ah sparkly - big, fat, hairy b*llocks to AF arriving. Hope you have some chilled vino close by x

Congratulations Mana!!

I read your post and my heart actually skipped a little bit at your announcement! So pleased for you!
AF started last night and causing me pain, but I will rise in a dignified fashion above the crushing disapointment () and celebrate with everyone.
Please do stick around and let us know how you are doing, you are a shining beacon of hope. Happy hugs x

Oooooooh mana - how very exciting, although we will keep with a little yay if you don't want to get too excited, but still, yay! and I second all *yellow" 's questions - details please! What was DH's reaction? And you MUST stay (pretty please....)

MrsB - I think (although long time MNers please do correct me) that you can be a grad once you actually have a baby, but heck, you can still be our first graduate mana!

sparkly - any update on nipplage or testing?

yellow - I don't think I would have tested if it weren't for the fact there was one test lurking in the cupboard as it was BOGOF offer in Boots when I picked one up post ERPC to check levels....

Am tempted to POAS tomorrow morning with a Clearblue as my last 2 BFPs were morning tests with a Clearblue and somehow in my weird screwed up thinking am believeing it might bring me luck plus potentially a big drinking night tomorrow....

How's everyone else? Nurse - good to see you again. Kitkey, wellie, strawberry - are you still around....? Hope all is well.

And congrats again mana

So manamana I have more questions......did you have any symptoms? Did you kind of 'know' before you tested? How are you feeling now, emotionally and physically?

Congrats again.......right, who is next?

Wow, how exciting, sooooo pleased for you. Do stay, you can be our inspiration and lead the way to many more bfps! So happy for you but I can see how it is very scary too but try not to let it spoil the excitement. Your very impressive sex effort has paid off, do you have any other tips to share? Did you ever try a variation on the worm? Grapefruit? Headstands?

Thank you
I'm having a really hard time getting excited so it's extra lovely that you're excited for me.
So answers to questions, erpc was 7th dec and today is 5 weeks since then. Bled for nearly 2 weeks after erpc and me and dh have been 'at it' every couple of days since then except for when we were at parents.

Slightly worried that I drank a lot at Xmas and ate everything I shouldn't have done but ds1 was conceived around the same time with similar worries and all was fine.

I guess the only other worry would be that the hormones are left over but I had a neg last week so guessing that that's unlikely. Have got another test for next week so I can check that it moves to 3+ weeks which will be reassuring.

Thanks for letting me hang around for a while, I like it here and we've been through it all together. Am not planning on telling anyone in rl (except dh, although I was wondering about telling him when he's back at the weekend but caved when I spoke to him!) so will need my mumsnet buddies.

Here's hoping I've started a trend...

oh manamama i also shed a tear for you!! That fab news!! Hopefully youve spread your good lucj on the thread so yes stay around longer, so its gets spread a little more... Fab news!! Keep us updated, im sure all will be well.
Is this our first grad??

eeeeeeeeeee nice one! I am so pleased for you !!!! manamama deep breathes, you are over the first hurdle and its good to get excited. Please stay here with us and keep us

Ok ladies, deep breath...

I appear to be pg. Doesn't feel like a yay bfp moment, as I am shit scared. But a little yay would be ok.

Decided to test and with a cb digital it says 2-3 weeks so I guess that I could be 5 weeks from date of erpc. Have done two and so I guess it's right. Feels weird, I just want to lock myself away for the next two months. Am going to wait and contact the dr in a couple of weeks and ask for an early scan around 10 weeks. Last time it stopped growing at 9.5 weeks so wouldn't want any scan before then.

So, do I have to shuffle off or can I lurk for a bit while pretending not to be pg cos i won't count it until scan. I had a quick look on the due in sept thread to reassure myself that no major sickness at this stage is normal but there are already people who have had to drop out and the same mc concerns which I don't want to give head room too. Couple of pg after mc threads though so can head off there and just pop in here to check you'r all ok until we get more positives.

Wombat, sorry yours was neg. I wouldn't want to give false hope but last week mine was neg too.

Thanks all for your support in getting me to here.

hi ladies, just checking in, seems like youve all been busy over the last few days, hotair balloons, planning holidays!! How exciting!!
Im not offically on the 7 day count down... Have no symptoms to speak of, apart from constipation!! (putting that all down to my lack of caffine as gave up caffine after xmas!!
Will keep you all upto date, waves to all and welcome lexie, sorry youve found yourself here, x
