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.

Mummy i know what you mean, you are there for everyone and digi is right you dont feel like you have to... others will help :) take a break from it. Im sorry that i havent popped by there much lately, xxxx But dont feel like you have to always be the one to give advice! We put you up on that oracle parapit because of your knowledge, but you have shared that around, so other people can now pass it on :) xx

Love the tumbleweed buffs the beanbags in the freakout room are shaped round my arse, so theyre HUGE but there are reserved stickers waiting for all the ttc'ers xx

miss you lovelies xxx

I haven't seen you for a bit - I kind of fell off the Charters thread because everyone I knew at the start moved on and I decided to try not obsessing too much about temps this month. How's it going?

batteryhen · 09/02/2011 19:46

Hello everyone. Can I just come and sit sulkily in the corner for a while? I think I too am a bit of an oldie - Now been on MN for 1 year

Anyhow - there are some lovely vibes going round this thread and ~I hope they are catching :)

Will sit quietly in the corner and get drunk observe. xx

mummyabroad · 09/02/2011 18:16

Thanks Digi/YRMOTB/Izzy

I think I might have reached the end of the line with the just TTC thread, although I am torn because having watched that list for so darn long without being able to go on it (was stuck in WTTC for months while getting diagnosed/treated) I'm reluctant to walk away now that I finally have the chance to go on it. >

Perhaps I will just take a back seat over there and post more here - if I can resist the temptation to tell that nice new lady that its not a dip she should be looking for but a sustained temp riseHmm

Hi velvet I see you have already made your way over!

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 09/02/2011 16:30

Did someone say vodka?

mummya I'm getting lost on the ttc thread, and I completely understand how disheartening it is to be one of the few not moving on! Big ((hugs)) x

youremindmeofthebabe · 09/02/2011 16:07

Ha, I wondered where you were today, mummya!

I totally understand, it feels a bit demoralising doesn't it? I suspect izz and velvet feel the same way too.

I second what digi says, you've been the oracle for ages. Don't feel you have to be.

digitalgirl · 09/02/2011 16:00

((((hugs))) mummya bless you for feeling as though you have to give all the info to the newbies...you don't. Leave it to someone else. You are perfectly entitled to be a bit more selfish after all the wonderful advice you've imparted over the months.

mummyabroad · 09/02/2011 14:00

I'll keep you company Unbuffy

Not sure how much longer I can keep logging on to the "JustMC" thread and see three new people everyday who want to know when the best time to TTC after mc is Confused Sad Sorry if that sounds harsh, but I've been on that thread 7 months now (10 months since mc) and I dont know how to get off it - Obviously I always thought it would be after a BFP and via grads, but it could still be a long time coming.

There are tons of people on there who I would miss too, but its really getting to me having to go over and over what its like in the first few weeks after mc. I quite like the fast pace of the thread too (am at the computer a lot)

So anyway, I am gatecrashing Grin

Tony big congrats! lovely that Karma has seen fit to bless you with two after such a long wait. Grin@

Unbuffy · 09/02/2011 12:44

Not sure i'd manage to get up from a squishier beanbag Smile Too much arse...

SameOldJollster · 09/02/2011 11:00

Hey unbuffy they're all in the happenin' freak out room... the beanbags are more squishy and the snacks are better... Grin x

ttt have been thinking about you (in a non stalkerish way!), and keep coming back to the fact you must be ON THE CEILING. I realise it's early days etc etc, but HOW BLOODY EXCITING X

tonythetyger · 05/02/2011 20:58

Thanks Magic. I imagine they'll try and scan me at my next appt which is at 9 weeks. I'm trying not to get too excited just in case. But I'm still pretty excited despite the fears.

I hope your delivery goes well when the time comes.

Magic8ballhastheanswers · 04/02/2011 15:14

Very quick wave as can just about drag my carcass off the sofa and sit at 'puter before lungs are crushed!

BB have a F A B time skiing! Enjoy that fresh air x

Tony so exciting! Are you having another scan before 12 weeks? ID twins can have separate amnio sacs but share the gestational sac & placenta (Monochorionic/Diamniotic). Mine are MCDA. All depends have many days after fertilisation the egg split, it's amazing stuff. I am 33+3 today, booked in for induction at 38 weeks as the twins are growing really well so they want to push for an extra week however they/I don't think I will get that far. General consensus seems to be about 35 weeks for id twins, have already had a little false alarm and in all honesty I am ready! I was showing quite early but also my 4th preg......was properly showing by 10 weeks. Remember you are doing double the work so REST whenever you get the chance. PM if you want to ask anything x

tonythetyger · 03/02/2011 21:36

BB - my method of getting an earlier hsg was to ask if I'd get an appointment any earlier if I slit my wrists. She assured me I wouldn't but then called back to say she'd swapped around someone else's appointment so I could have it that month (ie 2 weeks later) and not have to wait 6 weeks for it. Be careful with this tactic though as if you get referred to psych it will just delay the process.

Hello girls, just bumping us back up. Nice to see some new old faces from the super busy other thread , velvet, izzy, Bit more chilled in here Smile x

Went back for more blood tests yesterday at St Mary's, back in another 4 weeks for results. Unfortunately they can't fit me in until the week after for my hsg so I don't know how much difference that will make to when we can start trying again.

Did I mention I was going skiing on Sunday!?!? Grin 3 more sleeps!!!!

Hi cariboo I'm a bit lost as to where I should be so I think I'll gradually edge in here as I know more names here than on the other thread if that's ok with everyone!

tonythetyger · 02/02/2011 20:45

Thank you for all the good wishes.

Magic they think they're ID. They're in separate sacs but it looks like only one side ovulated. I may have spent some time lurking on the multiples topic last night but I think I'll leave it a few weeks until I feel quite ready to post. I still can't quite believe it.

When are you due? Also how quickly did you show?

CaribouMoo · 02/02/2011 20:06

Just lost a post, grr, will try again. So as I was saying, well done Digi - I'm keeping everything crossed for you x

and a big hurrah Tyger double the fun! Nice to see Izz and Velvet here too x That was about the size of it!

Unbuffy · 02/02/2011 11:12

Blimey TONY, double fabby news!!! Congrats!!! (It did take me 20 minutes ir so to work out the name change mind. ooooh, me head)

SameOldJollster · 02/02/2011 10:45

YRMOTB am on the fourth pair of size 8 wellies Angry. Shoes not so bad, but the wellies wear out in a flash. If only we could find children who brake with the other foot... ...
