A safe place for everyone on the TTC after MC rollercoaster. Welcome and come in - virtual wine and chocolate for all, and lots of support and hand-holding until you get your BFP!

The thread moves fast but don't let that put you off - feel free to come along and stay to chat; or dip in and out with any questions.

If you want to join the stats, just add yourself to the list:

WTTC = waiting to TTC
UCL = usual cycle length

Good luck to all - here's hoping for lots of healthy, sticky BFPs by the end of the thread

For reference here's a link back to the previous thread

I have been chanting izzyeyore to myself. It is quite comforting. I get sick of trying to be positive sometimes. I say have a good wallow Izzy. When I was about 17 (and had nothing really to get depressed about!!) a friend and I used to dress all in black, pull shut all curtains, turn on suitably depressing music (Korn I think was the main choice) and just lay there for hours!!! I really feel like doing that again sometimes!
I feel like this TTC stuff is on loop in my head and I am thoroughly sick of it. I need to clear that space for other stuff and it is cluttering up valuable (and limited) space. Sorry random rant over!!!

Hi ladies, just checking back in to say hello. Today was a better day than yesterday so hopefully it'll keep improving. Our cremation date is the 2nd of march so I just need to stay calm until then.

The meeting was to discuss the impact my management role is having it was quite calm but I do feel that all the trauma this year hadn't been taken into consideration. The deputy is helping out with some of my workload so it's a much improved picture.

Right, that's the end of the mousebacon misery show! Now feck of bleeding and let me ttc again, 3rd times a charm, that's what they say eh?!

Hope you're ok izzy (((hugs)))

Mamapower · 08/02/2011 21:00

hee hee... there are ways to secure dhs performance... you just gotta work your inner sex goddess Wink no time for travelling at the mo, boo! Am planning to pop to spain in June, to see some friends and family and already getting excited about a trip to the caribbean next year to see my god mum, hopefully with a rug rat in tow Grin

cep · 08/02/2011 20:47

not too bad, as neurotic as ever. Grin still watching ff and hoping dh can perform when he needs to. You still travelling lots?

Mamapower · 08/02/2011 20:44

all good thanks cep too much to do but getting there on all fronts Smile How are you chiccadee?

loola2shus · 08/02/2011 20:34

Just a quick hug for Izzy .....remember the oracle said we're all getting BFp's by March! and she knows her stuff Wink

cep · 08/02/2011 20:32

hiya mamap how are you doing?

cep · 08/02/2011 20:19

quiet night tonight, i hope you're all ok.

Mamapower · 08/02/2011 18:06

eeyore you will get your BFP lovely, you will... Smile Smile

cep · 08/02/2011 17:57

izzy you're right i remember her posting a week or so ago. I'm sorry your feeling a bit demotivated today. You will get there, i know you will. sending positive vibes (and pots of honey) your way.

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 08/02/2011 17:50

Welcome ninunina I'm sorry for your loss Sad

MIA = missing in action, ie we haven't heard from them for a while (although I thought BrownB had posted recently - am I imagining it?!)

. I'm having a moment of doubt here, can't see myself ever getting another bfp. I don't see why SMEP should make any difference - we've been putting in the effort now for seven cycles and getting nowhere.

Ninunina · 08/02/2011 17:40

Oh, by the way...what does MIA stand for?

"MIA
BrownB TTC#1 cycle 1 (post MC2) UCL 24-26"

Ninunina · 08/02/2011 17:36

Thanks for the link MummyAbroad. It's really the article I was looking for since it answered every question I had. I am still very early in the mc process, need to go back into hospital tomorrow to check my hcg levels to make sure they are going down. I will see what they say and will most likely wait for my first cycle before trying again.

Hello ladies,

lili and collie glad you know what's going on AF wise now.

Chloe so pleased GP was great, fx that you she finds someone for you soon.

ninunina sorry to hear your sad news, you are in safe hands here, I've felt a lot less bonkers since I started posting here after my m/c.

Bit nervous as have final scan at EPU tomorrow to make sure all has gone. Not been bleeding for a bit (TMI- sorry) so FX all ok and we can start TTC again.

to everyone else

Mamapower · 08/02/2011 17:23

chloe that's great news, am so pleased for you, I know that counselling has helped a few on here and I'm sure you'll find it a very positive step forward Smile

cep · 08/02/2011 17:22

i did that chloe when i went back to have my sick note extended. i thought i'd last longer then that. So glad it went well, and that she treated it seriously. hopefully it won't be too long before a counsellor can see you.

MummyAbroad · 08/02/2011 17:21

Chloe glad your GP was sympathetic and you are going to get some counselling. Hope it helps you as much as its helping me.

Chloe55 · 08/02/2011 17:14

Gp was lovely Smile I told myself before I went in that I would hold it together, I cried before even words came out Blush She is looking into a cousellor to refer me to so I just have to sit and wait now.

MummyAbroad · 08/02/2011 16:58

Hi ninunina very sorry for you loss. I found reading this helped me make the when to start decision, I was glad that I did wait in the end because it turned out I had retained tissues and an infection. Have you dont a HPT to check that all the pregnancy hormones have left your body yet?

Ninunina · 08/02/2011 16:37

Thanks for the advice ladies, I guess it shows I'm new to this whole thing, I just assumed it will all be back to normal as soon as I stop bleeding (slightly too ambitious perhaps) Blush

welcome ninunina. SWorry for your loss. As chloe says its mainly for dating purposes, do whatever you feel is right. As she says though, it may be one or even 2 strange cycles before normality resumes.Smile

cep · 08/02/2011 16:18

ooops "am getting" should have been a new sentence sorry.

Mamapower · 08/02/2011 16:03

Smile Checking in! Piss poor effort this last week or so, too much to do, so little time; house hunting, business buying, planning a move being bloody knackered etc etc [snore snore emotion]

Hope the SMEP crew are taking it seriously, be great to see some familiar faces on the other fred this month and reduce that ttc list (whooo it's looking short theses days) even further Grin Grin

Welcome Ninunina you are in very good hands. Sorry for your loss.
