Harassed Big hugs and am thinking of you. At least we know the secret of chocolate and calorie burning now Wink.

Bump Glad you are feeling a bit better today too.

Melie So sorry you're not having much luck with the opks but sounds like progress with the reflexology.

It does sound like a lucky thread - FX for the rest of us too!

meliesmummy · 05/04/2011 10:56

YAY LAYLAS!!!!!!! Grin Grin Grin Grin!!!!! How are you going to keep it from your oh??? You must be ready to burst!

Really we seem to have runs of bfps, I hope like you that the thread is lucky!

Big hugs to harrassed and bump, hit that chocolate!

I'm not feeling optimistic about this month [:(]. I haven't had a true positive on the opks, the line is getting a bit lighter each day, not darker and my cm is non existent. I'm thinking that I either ov'd before the bleeding even stopped so we missed it or not at all [:(]. Next month I'm going to spend the extra few pounds and get the digital sticks, a smiley face is easier to interpret than 2 lines and apparently you can use fmu, which would be easier. On the plus side the reflexologist said that my feet feel 'smoother', I'm going to keep going once a week until I have a cycle that's longer than 3 weeks.

Meh...people who are skinny find it harder to get pregnant (so they say but then blooming Poash Spice goes and gets knocked up....David must have super sperm) so you need something to grab hold of. Besides

Upset = stress = burning calories

Basically you are just maintaining the status quo...!

harassedinherpants · 05/04/2011 10:51

Bump I am living on chocolate! Dh was popping to the shop last night and I asked him to get me some and he said "Again?!".....Cue me feeling fat and useless.....men! In his defense I have been moaning about feeling fat and yucky and have put on weight and wasn't exactly skinny to start with.

Bumpwanted · 05/04/2011 10:38

Harassed sorry to hear you have been feeling really down Sad Its definitely a roller coaster ride and I guess we all have to get used to these ups and downs. Its still really early days for you though so don't be too hard on yourself. Did you read my chocolate/calory burning philosophy? I def think it applies to you so go and buy something yummy and I promise you wil feel a bit better!

Feeling much better today thanks but now I have started to talk about chocolate I feel I need some! xx

harassedinherpants · 05/04/2011 10:17

Hi everyone,

Sorry not been about, combination of a busy weekend and feeling really down. Think I should have taken more time off work with the 2nd one tbh. It'll be two weeks tomorrow and it's only 11 weeks today since my erpc...

laylas HUGE congratulations!

Cep good luck for today lovely, and glad ds slept through. Was just talking to a friend this morning who is having similar problems with her dd and tigers & spiders....

Bump you're sounding more positive Grin! Thank link is rather good isn't it? I found it so helpful.

Collie have messaged you, thank you for thinking of me lovely.

Forgotten everything else!!!! My memory is rubbish at the moment

Bumpwanted · 05/04/2011 10:14

ps Cep also meant to say I hope the scan goes really well today. Will be thinking of you xx

laylasmummy09 · 05/04/2011 10:05

this thread goes in fits and starts with BFPs hopefully it will be your day soon RUE

Bumpwanted · 05/04/2011 10:05

Morning ladies!

Feeling much better today. DH and I didn't talk about it at all last night after his mini apology email whilst we were at work as there wasn't really anything else to say. I feel like now I have my AF the hormones are subsiding! Yay! So I am a little less mentally unstable! I also sent him that link which I think helped so thanks again for that.

Really so glad you are feeling a bit better too!

Layla CONGRATS!!! Looking forward to hearing the line is getting stronger everyday.

Hopeful hope you are feeling a bit stronger after the MC and tomorrow goes well.

Cep pleased to hear you got some sleep! Is stopping him from napping during the day an option so he sleeps more at night or will he be overtired and then just really upset during the day?

Minnie where are you in your cycle? Have you been TTC again?

Melies am going to check my work policy and see if I can get reflexology on it. I get such bad period pains and I wonder if that might help whilst I am thinking about TTC...

Wellie its nice to know we are not alone!! Men eh!?

Sorry if I've missed anyone off.Hope everyone is having a good morning. xx

Reallyusefulengine · 05/04/2011 09:15

Hopeful Best wishes with the IUI tomorrow. How are you feeling?

Layla Congratulations - amazing news!

Are all these BFPs unusual for this thread?!

laylasmummy09 · 05/04/2011 09:06

hi everyone i hope you are all well and sorry for the recent BFNs and cep good luck with your scan today, i havent got time to catch up properly as dd is poorly and wont get off my lap but i had to come on and tell you i got a faint positive this morning Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin its faint but there at13 dpo and im only telling you guys, im not telling oh for a few weeks as hes been looking forward to a stag weekend for ages and if i tell him he will spend the whole weekend worrying so if its ok id like to stay on the ttc list for a while, this really is a lucky thread Smile xxx

Fx that it will all be fine cep - big hugs and thinking of you today, it can't be easy to go back there, please keep us posted, glad that DS at least slept through x

Hi mellies thanks for the reminder :) - no sign yet though I had some very AF-like cramps in bed this morning, the UCL on the list is pre MC and I had a 33 day cycle last time, and a very long WTF as well - will prob test tomorrow if no sign of AF by then

waves to everyone else!

meliesmummy · 05/04/2011 08:26

morning ladies

stitch sorry for bfn's.

thanks for the scan wishes, i am scared, hoping the bad feeling is just due to last time. I don't think i'll be able to come back on until after work, so i won't be able to report till after 13:00.

ds slept through yay (but then would have been suprised if he hadn't since he didn't nap yesterday) big test will b next few days.

hope you're all ok.

wellieboots · 05/04/2011 06:17

Yay for colliebean HB! Grin well done you, that's amazing news!
chloe so fab that you're getting re-referred - it's a pain that it's all taken so long (especially if the gp knew that the clinic you were going to was crap Confused but hopefully you should start making progress now

Nice to meet you stitch, hope your stay here is short for the right reasons! :)
All the best for your scan today cep, really hope it's reassuring for you

bump olis and Really sorry you had rubbish days - this mc rollercoaster is a tough ride and as everyone else has already said, men talk a different language about it. I find it really frustrating to try and talk about something which I feel is just SO important and get noncommital responses or, on worse days, to be accused of being fixated :( I am starting to understand that this is just yet another area where they are just wired COMPLETELY different to us! Big hugs to all of you

stitchinline · 04/04/2011 21:31

Evening all, hope you had nice weekends

RUE and Chloe - antiphospholipid syndome is also called Hughes syndrome, it's an autoimmune disorder that can be one of the causes of recurrent miscarriage. I was diagnosed because I had DVT and lung clots after a long haul flight about a year ago, pretty scary stuff. My treatment was warfarin until I got pregnant and then the shots, becuase we wanted to try again straight away. Was quite relieved they let me stay on the heparin as I think going back on the warfarin would have just been too much for me on top of everything else.

Am totally symptom spotting as AF due tomorrow, my daily POAS is still BFN and not holding out much hope.

yay for Collie and the HB :o

meliesmummy · 04/04/2011 20:29

All the best for tomorrow Cep, I'll be lurking for news after my reflexology! I hope ds behaves for you x
