Green I guess we have stupid bloody bodies! Frustration seems to go hand in hand with ttc. Hugs to you and hope you can chill out a wee bit. I'm having really light cramps occasionally but no spotting or anything else yet. As much as I say I'm not trying to think about it, it's constantly there. On a plus point, we had a visiting from my BIL yesterday and my gorgeous nephew. He's 3 days older than Ruby and his eyes light up when he sees me which is such an amazing feeling. Sounds ridiculous but it feels like he knows what's happened and there's a bond between us. (5 month old genius). But then what mans eyes wouldn't light up when they see me?????GrinGrin

Sorry I'm just picking myself up from rolling about the floor laughing!!!

Hope everyone else is ok. Really pleased to hear about the positive scans and care that you're all getting. xx

After a upset day yesterday crying that it wasnt fair I want to be pg! Nothing really happened, just a bit of spotting, the same this morning. Now its CD29 and I usually (loosly termed) have a 33-34 day cycle (before pg) Now I have had one since that was 29 days. I have had cramping this morning but not a lot and usually Im doubled over with af cramps! My body is playing silly beggers with me, if it is implantation bleeding then great, but to be honest I would rather have a full blown AF or a BFP. So now Im going to be obsessed with whats going on (like Im not already) AND RUNNING TO THE TOILET EVERY FIVE SECONDS, why cant this be easy. I resided myself that yesterday was the start of AF and I was going to start a massive keep fit regime this morning (as work starts tomorrow) and now this! Im so messed up at the moment WHATS GOING ON!

Hows everyone else this morning?

Hi everyone, sorry I have been quiet lately had a busy time and was out for the day yesterday on a barge trip. It was really nice but I was so tired last night! Lot's to comment on from yesterday, will try to remember everyone.
too and razz yay for good scans and well behaving beans! I have my 12 week scan today, am so nervous!
green, blue and mel sorry if you do get af but fx you don't, hoping for a landslide of synchronised bfp's x
jane you carry on having fun, it's the best way to tackle this ttc malarkey x
Welcome back diffed yay for your bfp! I thought when you hadn't posted that you may have needed some time away x
Hi to kite and mama hope you get your bfp's soon x

janedoe25 · 31/08/2011 07:32

Hi Girls, Glad yo your scans went well too and razz.

Hi to the newbies, mama I'm looking forward to getting to know you too!

Well I am so far managing to stay relaxed this month with the ttc, although DF is jumping on me any chance he gets Grin. I know it's not going to be our month as he will be away during the golden time, ah well at least we are having fun!

angel yay for the early finish today, hope the midwife app goes well. How far along are you now?

Mama5isalive · 31/08/2011 00:29

greenzebra · 30/08/2011 21:41

welcome newbies!

too did laugh at your Rachel from friends comment. Good news about the scan though.

You too Razz

fx for you and me blue but Im not holding on to much. Think it might be full blown tomorrow just have to see, been an upsetting day to be honest.

Kite dont no why they tell us to relax its just works in the oposite direction and makes me fret more.

AngelGeorgie · 30/08/2011 19:53

Fab news Razz and Too excellent. Grin bet u will both sleep tonight.
Welcome back Diffed brilliant news. Fx for you x
Sorry for all about to get their AF x
Hi Kite and mama welcome.
Knackered Tuesday is our long day at work grh... But Wednesday finish at 2 so yeh!!! Seeing my MW tomorrow pm at drop in clinic . My consultant recommended I see her more often than once a month for reassurance at this stage but try and get an appointment ; NO CHANCE !!! So after work traipse miles out my way to " drop in" with all the non workers who could see her at anytime!!!! But hey ho !!!! Stop whinging Louise!!!! Love to all xx

TooImmature2BDumbledore · 30/08/2011 19:48

Yay for you, Razz! Smile Hope the sickness lets up soon. I'm feeling queasy just now but that may well be related to the chipper I had for tea (bleurgh). It seemed like a good idea at the time...

Bluetinkerbell · 30/08/2011 19:08

razz yay for good scan and double yay for another one in 2 weeks :)

razzdazz · 30/08/2011 19:04

too really glad your bean has sprouted some more and that the scan went well. Mine also was good, measuring at 6+2 today, so 3 days out but they tell me their machine measures smaller so may be smack on next time!! They are going to rescan me in two weeks just for reassurance which I thought was jolly nice. I am so VERY sick now but actually feels good in a weird way Wink
Hi Dachs congratulations on your BFP.
green and blue I really do hope that AF stays away
Hello to mama5 and kite

Sorry, meant to say hi to the newbies!

TooImmature2BDumbledore · 30/08/2011 18:20

Hello Dachs! Was wondering where you'd gone. Congratulations, that's absolutely brilliant! Well done you and Mr Dachs!

Green and Mel, hope it isn't AF but implantation bleeding instead. Screaming might help, though, if you are somewhere not too public.

Razz, how did you get on at your scan? Mine went very well - baby bean has grown the exact amount required and was measuring exactly 8+5, so bang on. The technician said she could see the heartbeat, but I'm ashamed to say that I couldn't (I feel like Rachel in Friends going I can't see it!). I took her word for it, though, and DH's, who said that he could see it and then later confessed that he couldn't! I keep thinking of baby bean as 'she', and it might well be a 'he' - I need to learn to think androgynously.

Kitesurfgirl · 30/08/2011 18:14

New to this thread, but just to say hello and nodding when I read all your posts. Really hoping for some happy news for everyone soon :)
TTC after a MMC (16weeks) in May...no joy yet! Becoming slightly obsessed now eek and being told to relax and forget about it, nature will take its own course blah blah...now thinking about it more!

Mama5isalive · 30/08/2011 17:59

MelMal · 30/08/2011 13:43

Great news Dachs, and glad you've come back.
And girls, af might be on the way for me too. I'm ok about it this month as it will be the first one after surgery so will allow it this month and this month only!!! Hugs to all x

Bluetinkerbell · 30/08/2011 13:35

green I think I will be joining you soon! think AF is coming here too... having periody like cramps... although could also be because I haven't been eating properly today... couldn't have breakfast, felt sick, so didn't have anything and been scoffing chocolates instead all morning...

OP posts:
Mama5isalive · 30/08/2011 12:21

Sorry i disappeared for ages - i was finding the IVF really hard to cope with after losing the twins so I started avoiding MN. But it worked! I'm 5+1 today - first scan next Monday. Will try to catch up on the thread history :)
