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.

Grin Nix glad I'm not the only one walking the threads tonight ...

batteryhen WTF I can only assume she is childless or sailed through TTC. am in a fighting mood. 'just relax' bah humbug - introduce her to a fanjocam and see how 'relaxed' she is!!!

nickstermum · 19/02/2011 20:59

Ar do you get my country walk knicker checking now??? White loo paper, White pants, natural light in the toilet will all help :) :)

Hello everyone It is a sad state of affairs that I am on my own on a saturday night :(

However, I went to the pub for lunch with 2 of my best friends today which was lovely. Right, now I have put that discalimer in I will have a little rant.

Why oh why do people think it is helpful to say to you ' you know you can try too hard , just relax and you will get pregnant'. I swear, if anyone else says that to me I will go mad. My friend is only being kind I know but she is one of the practical people who only sees things in black and white. When I told her about me having a hysteroscopy - she pulled a face and said 'don't you think thats a bit invasive' REALLY??? - actually I think it is a walk in the park and think it might be fun too Angry

I did reply (very restrained) 'I can relax as much as I like but I think you will find that that alone won't get me pregnant - I am actually going to have sex and at the right time of the month too'

Right, ranty pants off. I feel a bit better now xx

Hope everyone is having a lovely wild saturday night :)

AandRMum · 19/02/2011 20:15

Bricking it velvet!! I think I have an entire town in my head - wearing White knickers today - made me think of you mummyA oh and nix knickers checking whilst on a walk!!

mousebacon · 19/02/2011 20:04

It was quite funny velvet my ds is 3 and it was a little bit long for him but it's a typical kids film with a fair few jokes thrown in for the adults Grin

Hope everything is ok with you. I know exactly how you feel about splitting on two - I didn't even tell dh for about 3 weeks after my last bfp. I really hope this one sticks for you. xx

Velvetcu · 19/02/2011 19:36

yrmotb I feel like I've got 2 people in my head - 1 who is pretending the bfp didn't happen so when af turns up it will be normal and 1 who is freaking out about everything.

How was the film mouse? I can't decide if I want to see it or not

aandr how are you doing?

mousebacon · 19/02/2011 19:13

Gnomeo and Juliet. On a Saturday afternoon. Good grief Grin

Still wttc but will add myself as soon as I'm back on the waggon - thanks mummy

Anyone else watching the red nose dance show?

AandRMum · 19/02/2011 18:53

Ooo I've been chucked out of yoga for getting the giggles velvet!!! Absolutely hate anything where I have to coordinate my movements with music - my favourite part of yoga is where you sleep meditate at the end.

Enjoy the beach MummyA - love your daily testing ritual!!

Youremindmeofthebabe · 19/02/2011 17:09

Snowing in Leeds. And pennines. And Scotland way. But it's basically gone cos it was all slushy anyway. Kind of pleasant but it means we're stuck in the house...

velvet the training is going slowly. Do you remember I did the great north run in September? Well I have been slightly injured and very lazy since then, to my Blush. how are you doing, has it sunk in yet? Smile

Waves to all. Just chilling with my best pal, the men have gone on their XmasHmm do and won't be back for forever.

Velvetcu · 19/02/2011 13:59

Hi mouse good to have you here :)

Izz I'm so sorry she got you.

How is the training going yrmotb? I've just been riding my bike at centre Parcs and I'm knackered!

Where is it snowing? Been a bit drizzly here but sun has just come out.

wiggle lol at the aerobics class I've only been to a couple and I hated them! Got chucked out of pilates once for laughing too much!

Hope everyone else is good!

Emoo · 19/02/2011 13:34

Popping by to give a big squeeze to all, but particularly (((( Izzy, Loola and MummyA ))))
Loola - have you ever had progesterone levels done at your GP midway through luteal phase? - if you are having anovulatory cycles, would be worth finding out sooner rather than later so that you can take some positive action?

mummyabroad · 19/02/2011 13:26

Morning, DH he wants to take me on a surprise visit to the beach Grin , so I have got about 15 mins to pack - Shock am still going to spend 2 of them here though Wink

Izz Arsecrackers indeed. I guess all the warning in the world doesnt take the edge of it, very sorry mate, hope CD1 doesnt treat you too roughly.

Mouse hello! Glad you found us! Our stats are over here if you want to join in.

I didnt test yesterday but the way (7DPO and non FMU seemed even too far fetched for me), but spent the whole day thinking about it, so in order not to be so preoccupied today I tested and of course its BFN, but at least I can get on with my day nowGrin

getawiggleon · 19/02/2011 12:29

Izzy Really sorry she arrived Sad First day is always the hardest after all the optimism of 2ww then I start to feel relieved in a way that all the mentalling is over and i know where I stand

mousebacon · 19/02/2011 11:39

Thanks for the welcome Smile

Snowing here too - might take ds to the pictures.

loola2shus · 19/02/2011 11:34
loola2shus · 19/02/2011 11:30

Izz Feeling exactly the same today! Sad No AF yet but I am ready to throttle somebody so that suggests AF tomorrow! Can I join you in the gloomy place! We can drown our sorrows together Grin Anyway mummyoracle says we are all getting diffed in March!

YRM Heres hoping it'll be a sober party Wink

A&R Think that FF removed them as I am 17DPO -thats by the ov date they gave me and no AF and no BFP (not that I have done a test!)so as my luteal phase was 16days last cycle they have just deleted lines? I am assuming this is why anyway!

Battery Temps up sounds promising! And as someone said to Velvet a week or so ago...not expecting anything is a good sign you know!

Mouse lovely to see you Smile

nickstermum · 19/02/2011 10:41

Damn damn izzy :( ((hugs)))

Like babes says, get plastered tonight and tomorrow you are one step further into your next cycle. Tomorrow is always a better day

AandRMum · 19/02/2011 09:56

loola thanks for the prompt into action. I have updated the SMEG stats on the mother thread. Bugger re crosshairs - does that mean no ov this month or just at a time you didn't expect?

Youremindmeofthebabe · 19/02/2011 09:55

Oh izz So sorry she got you. You're right, theres no logic or anything to all this. Immerse yourself tonight and we'll see you on the other side.

Hey mouse Nice to see you over here. Glad to hear the bleeding's trailing off.

Yes caribou the pressures off again.Yey. Testing day is the day of my birthday party. Boo.

All ok here, been doing running in preparation for this half marathon i'm meant to be doing in May. I'm obviously hoping I won't be able to do it, but that's no excuse for not training really.

Snowing pretty bad here. Turning to rain later though, I reckon. Looks pretty wet.

AandRMum · 19/02/2011 09:52

Hi Mouse lovely to see you over here - I moved over for the same reason!! Definitely into the 3rd time lucky concept!

Izzy bum and poohole - is all I can say! March it is then - November babies are the best in any case Grin

battery Smegging is hard enough with dp all present and correct! Maybe you can do the whole secret tryst thing - as an overly romantic 20 something I used to run to my boyfriend's place at midnight in my pjs and climb in his window (have to love security in Oz)! [those were the days wistful emoticon]

mousebacon · 19/02/2011 09:33

Thanks battery I feel like I've been ttc forever. I was on the original charters thread and all I have to show for it is a mc and a mmc.

They say third time's a charm right?

Bleeding from the erpc is just tailing off but not trying this month incase it being too early was the cause of my mmc. Would like to be able to fast forward about 5 weeks...

batteryhen · 19/02/2011 09:06

Hi mouse glad you found your way over - I just dropped off the charters thread as I found I knew less and less people! :)

izzy crapiola. I hate that feeling of having some hope but not really - and then being really disappointed anyway when she does arrive :(

I fully expect to feel that way on Tuesday :(

Like your eyore pic though :)

I like the idea of the smeg plan however one small problem - I don't live with dp so our SWI is very random!

My temp is up again today but not holding out hope - no symptoms to speak of xx

wave to caribou and everyone else - have a good day everyone xx

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 19/02/2011 08:53

Arsecrackers. She's here. I'm going to skulk off back to Eeyore's Gloomy Place for a bit. I am so Angry with myself - I knew af was coming, so why am I so disappointed?! Sometimes there is no logic to ttc!!

mousebacon · 19/02/2011 08:52

Please can I join in over here? I feel like everyone I 'know' is over here or on the diffed thread.

Congrats on the bfps ladies Smile

AandRMum · 19/02/2011 08:26
