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 12)

hi babypops sorry for your loss but welcome to the thread, it's full of lovely ladies.

Chloe so glad your feeling better. I know how exhausting the ups and downs are, it drains you completely.... And I know I sometimes think I'm a nutter, feeling fine one minute and sobbing the next. But as you say, better to be a bit if a yoyo than always down in the dumps. Hope your doing something nice for your birthday next week? Did you say you were 40 or was that someone else? God I hope Ive not just aged you 10 years or something!! is the sponge bob sq pants room for ds birthday? That's v sweet!

mumtum I too am jealous of babypops and ninu's healthy eating! I put on lots of weight when pg, and then comfort gorging eating over Christmas after mc but just can't put the cake down, never mind the keep saying will go to the gym but somehow manage to have a rubbish made up important reason not to go!!

maybebabyr , ninunina and katherine2008* hi to you fellow southerners im not far from southend essex, slightly more rural... Havent been to chelmsford since my sil hen do in 2006 got horrifically drunk but was very fun

Ninunina my EPU didnt actually say the words to me either they just bustled along sorting out aftercare etc without wanting to confirm it to me i found that really hard, especially as it took 5 weeks after for my HCG levels to drop from 3500 to 70

hi to babypops welcome aboard, sorry for your mc , very jealous of your and ninuninas positive attitude to healthy eating etc Though i like the positive reasons for why perhaps i shall follow your lead

Welcome babypops, I'm new to the thread too, everyone is so lovely and welcoming. I'm sorry that you've had such a long recovery process.

I'm trying to get myself into a proper healthy reigime too. When I discovered I was pregnant after an over indulgent Christmas, I paniced that I would be a whale by the end of it, I guess this is my opportunity to do something about it before TTC again. Must lose 4kg this month- although its awfully hard not to console myself whilst eating chocolates- maybe I should give myself the week off

Chloe you should go to Malta. Its a tiny island with lots packed into it...great sea life, lots of history & culture & good food. It's also just been voted the country with [[http://internationalliving.com/2011/01/07-ils-2011-quality-of-life-index-reveals-best-climate-in-the-world/
the best climate in the world]]

Delurking to say hello to new and not-so-new! Must admit to tea coming down my nose at 'erection section' and 'knickernottwitter'!! Handing round plates of yummy lemon drizzle cake to all, especially those smeggers needing the extra calories for sustenance!

Glad you made your way over here Babypops. This group are a fab lot for support and laughs.

Hi I would love to jump on board!! I am WTTC I mc in october and my body is still only just getting back to normal.

We will be starting fertility treatment again in April/May time so i am trying to get into great health eating well, excerising, the wait till we start treatment again is killing me and by doing all the healthy stuff is my way of doing something toward getting pregnant in the future and will keep me sane - if that makes sense to any of you!

Looking forward to getting to know you all over the next few months :)

Ooh Malta, I always fancied going there, heard it was good for holidaying with kids?

Colle - I do feel better today, these up and down days are very weird and a bit emotionally exhausting but I'd rather that than always down days. My bday is next sat (a week after my ds) and I don't think I will be ovulating either going on this long cycle so I won't feel guilty about getting pissed either...woohoo!

Cep - at the EWCM, do you reckon you can persuade dh for some action tonight?

Talking of Dhs, how are you getting on with yours Velvet?

Well, I am 2 walls down, one to go. I will put pics up when I have finished. I am really pleased with it so far.

Am knackered now, gonna treat myself to a I swear I am not an alcoholic even if a lot of my posts contain

ninu and collie dh not home yet, and have to wait till ds in bed.

AandR it was me who asked about how many days pre ov to ttc if have long cycle. Glad you think that 6 days b4 is ample, especially as the offical officer of the scientific experiment!! .

Ninu at Malta. Beautiful place, and people. Holiday'd there with mum 2 years ago at to Gozo with DH 5 years ago.

chloe at AF but for you as you do seem to be less sad which I'm really glad about. You should def have lots of for birthday... When is it?

cep at eggwhite. You had better get busy.... Don't want to see you on here again tonight as you should be to busy swi!! X

karherine at frizz . at boots though!!

cep Yay for eggwhite!!! Better get down to business then I'm afraid I can't help you with the fingers, I never got down to charting and testing when ttc, I know exactly when I ovulate because I get quite bad ovulation pain, but I think I'll be a bit more targeted this time round. Does anyone know if the saliva tests are any good?

EPU has called to confirm that my hcg levels are going down. They still haven't oofficially told me "you've had a m/c" yet. I obviously know I have, but find it strange that they don't confirm it. Maybe they'll only do this once my hcg levels are 0??? I need to go back next week- is that normal?

I HAVE EGGWHITE!!!!!!

Those of you who test for cm, do you use 1 or 2 fingers? i've only been using 1 and last month that was fine i got ewcm even on 1 finger, just read ff saying to use 2, tried that and for the first time this month got ewcm.

You should see the state of my hair - The walk from the Station to Starbucks has left me with a total frizz and my suede boots are buggered - so treated myself with one of those cute transparent ones for the walk back..! I know how to live!

Ah, I like Maldon Katherine, sending you a Essex wave back! Get you and your new umbrella!

I'm just jealous as I didn't bring one today!

lots of exclamation marks there - will try to desist in future

I'm in Maldon, Essex - just got back from a meeting in Chelmsford maybe and purchased a very smart new umbrella in Debenhams. Sending you an Essex girls wave. My dh is from the North East - best of both worlds! Sending orange good vibes for tomorrow and waving to everyone else. I'm due to OV on the 14th too - blimey, it's like an office round here! chloe need pictures of that Spongebob room!

I haven't been to chelmsford in years. i used to laugh driving past a signpost down there that showed you where the secret nuclear bunker was.

Am i the furthest down then??

Hi cep I'm over in Chelmsford Essex.

From the tiny island of Malta Wouldn't mind being there today, it's a bank holiday and I'm sure the weather is MUCH better there than it is here. Tried to venture out for the first time today, but the rain put me off so I went back home after an hour.

Afternoon all, hope you're all ok.

ooh those down south whereabouts? i'm fareham way.

Well still no ewcm here, all opks are neg so far. my temp went up yesterday but back down today, although not back to 96.8 was still below the 97.0 mark. Is the 14 days tomorrow so unsure if not ov'd by then when i'm going to. Dh couldn't score the goal yesterday so hoping can tonight so i've at least got some there if i do ov tomorrow.

Ooh where abouts Ninu? Lots of diversity on this thread too - I love it! Love hearing about other cultures etc.

South West Londener over here...but I'm originally from much further south....and by south I mean Southern Mediterraean

Ex-Londoner over here, cant say I miss it much though!

AandR It was me do the odd number shag days, and bizzarely I seem to be having a "typical" cycle this month, CD1 = 1st of Feb, EOD (estimated ov day) = 14th (Valentines) Must say its been quite handy only having to look at the caldendar to see what CD I am on! So anyway, my SMEG efforts are a little bit wonky, but I still consider myself following the plan.

best of luck for tommorrow orange

Londoner but south of Thames (just) - does that count as South? I always feel like it is a world all to itself - very love it or hate it!!

Thank you for all the kind words everyone, it's nice to feel so welcome, and know there are lots of us mad obsessive crazies lovely ladies out there TTC!

mumtumwanted I too am a Southerner, so bumping up the numbers slightly!!

Morning ladies,

AF has arrived. Feeling surprisingly ok about it actually. It means I don't have to take the Provera and it also means I can stop chasing my due date. I can not be pg now for the impending date so I can relax about trying to be. It also means I can get on my birthday

Spongebob bedroom is coming along nicely but taking forever! I can't wait to see ds's face tomorrow after school

Welcome to the newbies, you are here but you will find this thread a huge support, I know I have. It is very fast paced though!

I have loved the Gloomy Place & music then the switch to 80's disco!

ZAM - you have such an exciting life, I love hearing what you get up to!

Orange - Good luck for tomorrow, I am not surprised you are worried but I am sure everything will be as it shlould be. I look forward to the update.

Collie - well done on the mammoth post, I second everything you said (That really is lazy isn't it! )
