I'n so sorry Ratata, keeping everything crossed for you Sad

Ratata · 04/07/2012 16:04

Will keep you all updated though x

Ratata · 04/07/2012 16:04

I may be back Sad I had a BFN today and now constant spotting. I think it's a chemical pregnancy. Gutted.

alwyn · 04/07/2012 09:52

Awesome - ERTD has finally done one so I can jump the husband tonight!!

Trying EPO this month as well to see if that has any effect - thought I was a bit light on CM last month so maybe this will do the trick!!

Ratata, congratulations on your BFP! Lots of people say relax and get drunk but the longer you try, the easier the drunk bit gets and the harder the relax bit :D

Ratata · 03/07/2012 19:14

Thanks CaveMum and alwyn I'm over the moon Grin

pale212 I used ovulation sticks for 2 months to figure out my fertile days. Having sex every couple of days can give you a better chance as well. The 2 times I have fallen pregnant were when we weren't really trying (I know that sounds annoying to those who are trying so hard!). I was pretty drunk on the weekend that I believe we conceived this time so I was very relaxed lol.

alwyn · 03/07/2012 18:23

Congratulations Ratata!!!

Hopefully we'll all be following you out soon! Would love ERTD to finish so I can get back to it!

CaveMum · 03/07/2012 18:14

Ratata, mahoosive congratulations! Grin

Pale it all depends how mental you want to go! I'm not really the best person to advise as my PCOS means I have very screwy cycles.

Ratata · 03/07/2012 16:36

Holy balls is what I thought when I saw my pregnancy test this morning... BFP!!!! I really felt pg so I'm glad I was right. I do feel bad though as my stay has been short and I wish it would happen for those who have been waiting longer like you evilgiraffe I hope it happens for you all soon.

Thanks for having me again Smile waves I will be keeping an eye on the thread to keep up with you all xxx

pale212 · 03/07/2012 15:24

I can feel that the evil red tide of doom is edging closer alas (although am 1 day late so up until half an hour ago i was all 'the hiiiiillls are aliiiiive, with the sound of baaaaaaaby', but it's imminent, I can feel it). Confused by pee sticks and my own baffling fertility patterns. Have got MyDaysX smart phone app, but what do people do, pee sticks, temp taking?? Or just having endless bloody sex with own husband?!

evilgiraffe · 02/07/2012 20:37

I know! And a friend of mine gave birth today too, but I only found that out a minute ago. It's all very good news, obviously, but jealously is a hard thing to live with. Oh well. One day, my friends, it will be us!

CaveMum · 02/07/2012 20:15

Oh evil Shock That is just, well, evil!

evilgiraffe · 02/07/2012 19:08

Have a look at my profile pics - added one today after seeing four-foot high balloons in tesco that made me think "fuck my life". At the same time, it is quite funny, really - at least I know I'm not imagining baby things being everywhere I go, they really ARE everywhere I go!

Ratata · 01/07/2012 20:22

Very frustrating indeed cavemum everything is now a pg symptom lol.

evilgiraffe thanks Smile and yeah always good to take your mind off things when you start to feel down about it xx

evilgiraffe · 01/07/2012 19:57

I have my fingers crossed, Ratata!

No news here, CD15 and feeling completely pessimistic and unhappy about the whole thing. Thankfully good friends, DH, and some much-needed sunshine have been taking my mind off it today :)

CaveMum · 01/07/2012 19:49

I know what you mean about all the "symptoms", it's so easy to convince yourself that they are all pregnancy symptoms. Frustrating!

Ratata · 01/07/2012 19:28

So yeah... Way too many pg symptoms right now. I had some cramping, extra cervical mucus and I have on and off nausea. Could I be....? No idea. I feel similar to when I was pg before the mmc. Due to test next Friday. If I am then it was likely that we would have conceived the night that we were both wasted. Nice. Lol Grin

Ratata · 29/06/2012 19:17

Hi again all, sorry I've been a while. Big congrats to zippys fab news!

cavemum hope the next 10 days go quickly for you xx

I'm ok. Not paying much attention to my dates and things as I think we missed my fertile window. Or we may just have got it, unsure. I've only had one AF since mmc and that took 6 weeks to arrive. So really I don't know where I stand lol. Been having little crampy feelings, period due next Friday I think.

Saw a pregnant woman in the supermarket, that was hard. I really didn't think a mmc would affect me so much. Then I started getting cold feet about having a baby. Today I think I feel normal. Ahh roller coasters lol.

Hope everyone is busy 'at it' haha.

CaveMum · 28/06/2012 20:44

How's everyone doing? No news to report here, CD47 and still no ov. Counting down the days till my consultant appointment, 11 days to go!

evilgiraffe · 23/06/2012 09:58

Much better, thanks, raspberry - hormones have calmed down so the ability to be pragmatic has returned! Also DH is home again after being away with work all week, so that's helped too. Back to the grind now though - SWI is such a chore, eh?! Grin

raspberrytipple · 20/06/2012 18:43

How you feeling now evil?

evilgiraffe · 20/06/2012 09:56

zippys · 20/06/2012 08:19

Thanks everyone, reading everyones lovely comments has made me well up - can i blame pregnancy hormones Grin
