The resurrection of the 6th form common room for those inbetweeners who are TTC/PG after mc and are too long in the tooth to fit anywhere else

The resurrection of the 6th form common room, a place to put your feet up, wallow in self pity (me) or rejoice (and tremble in fright) at new growing beans and baybees after mc. No lists. No stats. No babydust. No feeling bad if you can't keep up.

Go.

Hello everyone

bb am also feeling despondant. I have a hysteroscopy booked on wedneday to find out where the hell my periods are. I am having periods but really light, so am off to have them investigated.

Had a bit of a meltdown at work today, I could reel off the top of my head about 10 friends that are pregnant, and it's just really taking its toll on me :(

I feel that if I could only be pregnant by my due date then I would feel better but I just cant see that happening now:(

I feel so alone,DP abroad and I have no-one to go with me to the hospital next week as everyone is at work :(

Sorry for me post, just am completely miserable :( xx

mummya I hadn't even thought of asking, but that sounds like a good idea, thanks! I also hadn't put my despondency down to pre appointment nerves, (more to one too many Leffe beers last night! Grin) but you've probably hit the nail on the head again there. I don't know what I want them to say / do, well I do but I don't think a magic pregnancy pill exists! Hmm

How are you doing anyway newly updiffed lady?

mummyabroad · 24/02/2011 14:39

oh I forgot to say hello to Freezing sorry! Nice to see you again

BB I am normally a blabber - I surprised myself.Grin I hate those pre appointment nerves, but it sounds like you are getting closer to lots of answers. Blood test + HSG covers a lot of potential issues, hopefully something very treatable will be uncovered and you will be on your way to BFP shortly after (getting a diagnosis is much more time consuming and agonising than getting treated honest) and at least the HSG information is pretty instant. Can you ask for a CD of the images so that you have the option of getting them reviewed by other doctors if you want to at a later stage? xxx

brokenbarrenbrook · 24/02/2011 14:20

freezing hello love, good to see you x

bee I echo mummya we're here if and when you need us, thinking of you x

zam welcome, sorry you are fed up, hopefully we can help cheer you up.

mummya totally get where you are coming from about not telling DH, you give yourself as much or a little time as you need before breaking the news, he will be happy whenever you tell him, you'll know when the right time is. I'm hugely impressed you managed to keep quiet though, I'm crap and blab at the first opportunity!

Yet another colleague has just announced she's pregnant, Envy I'm so numb to it all now it hardly registered and I don't think I actually said anything, I just walked away Blush there was a group of us so I don't think she noticed as everyone was gushing congratulations.

This time next week we will have had our consultation with St Mary's and know if they have picked up on anything with the blood tests. I then have the HSG to contend with the following week and then I reckon we'll have an idea what we are actually dealing with. My periods seem to be getting lighter and this cycle turned up 3 days earlier than normal. Hmm Slightly despondent today and thinking that at 35 and DH at 42 it's never going to happen for us Sad

mummyabroad · 24/02/2011 13:21

Hi Zam sorry you are feeling down too. How long have you been trying for now?

Velvet Big Hug for you. if men got pregnant things would be so different. I am not the best in the world for DH advice but when pregnant with DS I persuaded DH to sign up for weekly pregnancy updates from www.babycentre.co.uk, it helped a lot. I wish I had done it sooner because until then he was just under the impression that the first trimester was the easiest because the baby was smallest Confused

So... my news today is that I chickened out of telling DHShock I couldnt really find the right moment and I had my therapists words ringing in my ears that I should consider getting used to the idea myself before telling him... so I just left it!! Ooops. Feels wierd now.

Bee if you are around, please know that you can chat to us over here anytime xxx

Velvetcu · 24/02/2011 09:56

Hey Zam sorry you are feeling down. I also did brazil nuts last cycle for what it's worth.

Battery sorry your boss is being a dick. What's his problem?

mummya how are you? What did DH say?

I had a row with DH this morning - I told him I was finding it really hard to get through each day and he just laughed and said that I always like to make a meal out of things!! Angry Angry

I'm on a mission today to do all of my planning for the whole of next term Confused I had better get started soon!

ZamMummyInGabs · 24/02/2011 09:53

PS As this is the 6th form common room we need the appropriate music - on cassette of course - any suggestions?
{my 6th form common room was v odd on that front - Iron Maiden, Meatloaf & UB40 spring to mind Biscuit}

ZamMummyInGabs · 24/02/2011 09:50

Hello, I'm shuffling over as down in the dumps re TTC (CD2 today) and most of the ladies from t'other thread are here....

caribou sorry you're feeling rubbish,sending virtual pg-friendly lemsips your way!

CaribouMoo · 23/02/2011 22:23

What a day, its a triple celebration now! Two birthdays and a BFP, I'm SO chuffed for you Mummy. You've really been through the ringer and even be so worried the last few days about your Ashermans, this really is the bestest news! Wishing you all the best and some very boring months ahead. Well done you x

Battery I can't believe that for you, i honestly thought you were on to a winner with that chart. Glad you're keeping your chin up though and have a plan in place.

Great big happpy birthday to you Jollsipops - hope you're a bit sozzled and having fun x

Mouse that's good that you are being checked out, hope it works out for you.

I am feeling very ill and sorry for myself today. Got a horrible cold, complete with aches and sweats, snotters flying out of me! Had to leave a meeting I was chairing toady in front of over 20 people because I thought I was going to pass out. I am such a wuss without pills, some ibuprofen or cold and flu and I can normally soldier on.

Just read about Ladybee so sad to hear her news. Its so bloody unfair, I can't make sense of it. Life is so cruel at times.

getawiggleon · 23/02/2011 22:19

Forgot to say big squeeze for battery. CD1 is truly rubbish My af has got heavier in months since mc too (was v light initially) so I think of it as a good thing. Fingers crossed for next cycle x

Freezingmyarseoff · 23/02/2011 22:15

congrats MummyA, what lovely news to hear as join the thread.

Only 2 months and 25 pages of chat late in finding this thread but I'not feeling bad that I'm a little slow on the uptake (thanks BB btw) Grin

Big waves to everyone, I'll just plonk myself down on a bean bag and open some wine for you all Wine

My lovely DH just gave me an iphone so I have some chance of keeping up now.

Big hug to battery CD1 is always rubbish, sorry hun.

getawiggleon · 23/02/2011 22:15

Fantastic news Mummy Absolutely thrilled for you. You deserve a happy, healthy pregnancy

What a lovely, memorable birthday! Let us know how you tell your Dh and what he says!!

Must dash and polish the gold frame to hang Mummy's pretty old chart up in the common room!

Make sure you still pop in here once you join the diffders thread too. We'll miss you x

Velvetcu · 23/02/2011 21:40

whoop whoop mummya welcome to mentalling of a different kind Grin

mummyabroad · 23/02/2011 21:31

I have just updated myself on the Big List. NOW if feels real. Grin

By the way, there is talk of listjiggling going on over there, so mark your place if you dont want to get put in MIA Grin

Emoo · 23/02/2011 21:28

Hooraaayaayyyy for you mummyA - what lovely timing - a valentine's ov and birthday BFP! So pleased for you Grin xxx

cep · 23/02/2011 21:27

congratulations mummya that's great news so pleased for you.

mousebacon · 23/02/2011 21:23

Yaaaaay!!!!! Bloody brilliant. So pleased for you. You're a real inspiration mummy I wish you a very dull and uneventful 8 months Grin

mummyabroad · 23/02/2011 21:20

Well, results are in! I persuaded her to tell me over the phone - my number is 59.1. GrinGrinGrin She then said, "oh but you need to see the table to know what it means" and I just about refrained from replying that I practically memorised that table a long time ago!

So I checked with my old notes and the table says a result of over 30 = defo pregnant. and 16-156 = 1 to 2 weeks. Grin Grin I think that is good enough to tell DH about. GrinGrin

Blackkat · 23/02/2011 21:13

Just popping over to say mummya congratulations, how exciting! Fantastic, brilliant and splendid news Grin, Grin

Ninunina · 23/02/2011 21:03

Hope you get the the result soon mummya :) Just some reassurance, I only ever got super faint lines on the internet cheapies. I totally agree with the other ladies, you'll probably get a much stronger line with CB & FR...but strong line or faint line....a line is a line xxx

mummyabroad · 23/02/2011 20:42

Thanks Ninunina I am actually still in denial waiting patiently for confirmation, because the line is very very feint and AF not due for 2 days. Should get blood results back soon and if its positive I will pop over to the mother thread to update the stats. Send my love to those that still know me xxx
