Congratulations to bump Grin, lovely news! Don't worry about your lack of symptoms...with dd I didn't have any till about 5 weeks. I really hope this one is sticky x

Fx for a peak day soon olis. I know nothing about the cbfm but are they like opks in that surges can be missed?

Morning ladies

Hope you all had lovely weekends. I have some news...I got a BFP Grin

I can't actually believe it at the moment. I have tiny bursts of excitement but mostly I feel very detached and very scared. I am not quite sure where I am in my cycle (period was either due Mon or this Thurs) but it was about 5 days after my period was due that I had the MC last time so I just dread it everytime I need to go to the loo as I am scared its going to happen again.

I have had some period pains on and off for two weeks but very very mild and nothing like last time where I would be crying in agony so I guess that is good. However, unlike last time I'm not very tired and not particularly thirsty and my boobs have only just started to hurt so I feel I am behind on the symptoms.

Its so early that at the mo I feel like I can say I have a BFP but not that I am pregnant. Here's hoping for a sticky one this time!

Fingers crossed for some mroe BFPs so you can keep me company freaking out!

xx

Hi all, hope everyone is well - any news from 2wws?

melies fx that there is a BFP for you soon, well done for not testing when will you cave?!

Have added my stats to your new list as I'm not sure if i was on the old one or not, I'm CD14 and my monitor is showing "high" so hoping for a "peak" in the next few days.....

Meliesmummy ttc #2 cycle 3 day 23 ucl 28

Good morning!

I see that we haven't done a list for nearly 2 weeks...just wondering if it's easier to start a new one? I'm assuming that some of you will have had af start or even bfps in the last 2 weeks, what do you all think? I'll start one and add yourselves on as you want, here goes:

Mondays List

Meliesmummy ttc #2 cycle 3 day 23 ucl 28

Hope I haven't upset anyone with that.

I'm feeling much better. I haven't tested yet, trying to stay strong! Still having little crampy pains, probably nothing though. I've also been feeling a bit bloated and grumpy though which could be pms. So not getting any hopes up here.

Hope everyone's ok, it's been really quiet here lately!

Glad to be educating you all! I'm feeling really rough today, this cold has wiped me out, I'm in bed! So so tired... I'm glad to report that I'm day 21 and no sign of af, my longest cycle since the mc, yippee! Grin

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend, are we mad to be planning a trip to ikea on a bh Monday?! Dh fell onto the bookcase this morning coming down from the attic and went through it so we need a new one! (He was putting away the pushchairs :( )

Ha ha I now know what a mooncup is too. The things you learn!

Good to hear from you olis and congrats on the weight loss, that's fantastic. My DH swears by Atkins.

FX for you melies. At the risk of getting haddocked, those are all good signs...

Not much to report here. Boobs are quite sore and I've had a couple of waves of nausea...all in all am feeling slightly more pg but still don't really believe it. It's such a weird feeling - as though I can't let myself be happy because if I do and it all goes wrong again the grief will be so much worse. I just want to put my head in the sand and pretend it's not happening!

Oh well, it's a bank holiday tomorrow, the sun is shining and I'm going to potter round in the garden. Hope you're all having a good weekend.

olis Well done you on the weight loss Grin Grin you are doing all the right things. I know how tough it is to ride out more than two years, it's tough keeping going. But believe me when I say that if you're looking after yourself like you are it will happen xx

mel WTF is a mooncup???

Hi all just a quick drop in to say I'm alive and trying still have my monitor on and poas but never started on 6day when i should have started on day 10 instead so might be messed up.
I am fed up a bit of it all, I know i am only on my 3rd cycle post MC but i was trying for 2 years previous to MC (basically since DS was born) so wondering if it will ever happen.
I have started a low carb diet (atkins) and have lost 6lb since Wed i kid you not! I am now 17st i weighed myself on wed and was discover that i had piled on another 6lb so 1st 6lb since MC!!! Blush I know its not great for fertility but i am hoping the weight loss will make up for that as my BMI is 37 I would like to get to 12st thats if i don't fall pregnant on the way!

I have a good feeling about you melies I really think this is your month i know you should not say that but i do.

cep I am sure your scan will go well but i can understand your anxiety huge ((hugs))

blackkat hope you and baby bean are doing well, thanks for asking after me.

kat really sorry for you loss (((hug)))

chloe hope you are enjoying your month off i miss you off this thread though so be sure to pop in for a chat.

Once again congrats to all the recent BFP'S with my ever decreasing waistline i hope it will soon be me :)

I've just tempted fate and ordered a mooncup...surely spending £18 on a product I wouldn't need for 9+ months if I was pg will mean that I am?!

OP posts:
cep · 29/04/2011 20:55

i'm sure i'll be lots better after the scan this week and will hopefully be able to relax, i keep saying the same thing, but as i saw the hb last time the reassurance doesn't last long, although i also tell myself that i only saw the hb at 6/7 wks last time, this time i saw it at 11+3. We're telling my folks this weekend, so looking forward to that, and his mum the weekend after the scan as she lives nearer and can see her anytime.

thanks for the reassurance ladies, as i said hopefully i'll be better this time next week.

Blackkat · 29/04/2011 18:02

Mel I have my FX for you - an overwhelming need for fried eggs was my first sign!! Elderflower is so much healthier!!

Lily hope all well?

Chloe glad that the counselling went well ((hugs))

Hadrian, Harassed, YRMOTB hope all is going well for you?

olis how are you??

FX for all the 2wwers and a huge ((((hug)))) for Kat if you're lurking

Blackkat · 29/04/2011 17:59

cep just seen your post, and totally understand how you're feeling.
But, and I keep telling myself this, when you've seen the heartbeat the stats really are on your side. ((hugs)) thinking of you xx

cep · 29/04/2011 17:48

mel as requested. < (am keeping fx for you though hon.)

will have to appologise for being quiet the last week and will be this week, am doing quite a bit of mentalling for my scan this week. don't know why as no blood or pain, just that feeling again, plus a couple of ladies on my ante thread have mc'd, and it's just bringing it all back to me from last time. I hope everyone is ok, and is enjoying the weekend, fx for everyone on the 2ww.

I forgot to add that I've had cravings for elderflower cordial...I bought a bottle a few days before my last bfp, had 1 glass then went right off it, then yesterday I had to get the bottle out. Someone slap me with a fish please!! cep are you there? You are good at fish!

How are things hadrian and harrassed?

Hope you are feeling better bump.

Glad the counselling went well, good luck with the gym Chloe.

I'm full of cold, typical on my weekend off! Day 19 for me, I'm really hoping for no period over the next few days. I've just had little stabby pains on my left hand side, the optimistic part of me is thinking implantation...of course it's probably just wind!

OP posts:
cep · 29/04/2011 14:45

chloe glad your session went well.

lily06 · 29/04/2011 08:44

Morning,

Quiet on here for a change - guess everyone else is on holiday/off work.

Chloe that sounds very positive, especially joining the gym too, enjoy!

Harrassed What you're feeling is perfectly normal, glad your symptoms have returned, but sorry you're feeling ill again

Bump poor you feeling so ill, sure it wouldn't have affected anything if you are pg though, fx for you this month.
