Continuation of the last thread.

There's cake for scoffing, backs for patting, and screeching death metal for all your metalling moments. All welcome so come on in and get settled into the plush sofas!

Dictionary:

So settle into the mosh pit, we have special VIP area's for those on the 2WW, the new bumps metalling with segregated areas for the first/second/third trimesters and the club class cocktail bar for those who have just got AF and can get-pissed let loose for the first two weeks!

Thank you!

On a positive note my mum came over after work today to see my DD me, and said how great my skin was looking now that the pg hormones have left my body! Every cloud eh??

Oh and there is no wine in the house, but I did find a bottle of amaretto and a half eaten Lindt bunny...

Third cycle out for me, but I didn't try the first cycle as in addition to dealing with the miscarriage I had a horrendous chest infection and was on mahoosive amounts of non-preg-friendly drugs.

GrandPoohBah · 17/05/2012 20:47

I got pregnant on my third cycle after my first MC (which sadly turned out to be a MMC as well) and following the ERPC I had for that one, I got pregnant again without actually having a period. So relatively quickly, and fingers crossed for the scan next week.

ConfusedMumDotCom · 17/05/2012 20:43

Evening all!

Fingers crossed stateofconfusion, but it sounds positive.

I'm feeling a bit down about the mc today. I know it's only been two weeks, but I can't believe I have to go through the whole TTC and TWW again. For those who have got their BFPs, how long did it take to get the BFP after your mcs? DH is out tonight and I could do with some optimism.

goes off to find wine

StateofConfusion · 17/05/2012 20:16

I'm 10wks tomorrow and my symptoms are getting worse, nausea getting stronger, boobs hurting more, tireder.

Nothing like last time Grin

leedy I get back ache after being in the car as a passenger, I sit badly according to dp x

Good luck to manda a horay for tits and keeping fingers crossed for confused

GrandPoohBah · 17/05/2012 20:12

Is there any Manda news?

ICs are rubbish, I became very good at the whole 'hold it up to the light, tip it sideways then squint and there's a line' method of pregnancy testing. Clearblues with the writing on are definitely the way forward, leave it till Saturday and do one of those with FMU, I'd say.

Midgetm · 17/05/2012 20:11

Good luck Señora to manda from Spanish Spain x

backwardpossom · 17/05/2012 18:31

Work was great, just what I needed. Kids were delighted to have me back, too. Think they were a bit bored of supply teachers... Hmm

leedy · 17/05/2012 18:28

I'm 11+6!

JaffaSnaffle · 17/05/2012 17:56

Ooh Manda, good luck!

I think you are pregnant boris!

GrandPoohBah · 17/05/2012 17:06

It's because you're slouching Leedy, sit up straight or have a walk .

I'm hoping for that too, it's just another hurdle to get through... How far are you? I'm 11+4.

Yay tits!

leedy · 17/05/2012 16:38

Gah, slight backache. Tell me to stop metalling and that it's because my posture at my desk is shit.

leedy · 17/05/2012 15:48

"when I didn't want to be peeing on the equivalent of a £5note everyday"

Oh God, when I was TTC DS I had a really late period when on business in Norway. Ended up getting a test in the local chemist and I think it cost the equivalent of a tenner. For one pregnancy test. Might as well have been made out of solid gold.

Really really really hope that the NT is ok next week. I am starting to look really quite pregnant (or possibly just suddenly really fat).

BlueCrane · 17/05/2012 14:22

Ooh manda I know you probably won't see this for a while but if DS starts arrival today then he's bang on time...it being your due date and all Grin unless I've got totally confused with dates that is

boris all sounding good!

mumtum thinking of you...the wait is hideous!!

I had MW app this morning and other than LO kicking the MW whilst she was trying to ascertain where he/she was laying it became v clear that it's not engaged at all yet...so the wait continues...and I may have a UTI again, oh joy! But I did manage to get a prescription to make my addiction to gaviscon rather cheaper than it currently is!

To all those debating the pros and cons of ICs I found them v useful but also always preferred to see actual words on a test rather than peering at lines, but they were great for easing the 2ww metalling when I didn't want to be peeing on the equivalent of a £5note everyday Blush

farfallarocks · 17/05/2012 13:58

Good luck manda!!

boris those ICs are rubbish, get thee a nice FR?
Good luckm, sounds positive to me!!

Yay to tits those odds are amazing!!

ConfusedMumDotCom · 17/05/2012 13:55

Yikes I could really do with a BFP. I forgot I wasn't Pg earlier, then I remembered, but it wasn't as sad as it has been.

I have strange twinges in my pelvic area. This is clearly implantation (and not wind). I don't even know when next to pee on a stick. I will try and hold out until 31 May. Anyone else testing around then and up for some handholding?

GrandPoohBah · 17/05/2012 13:49

Ahhh, so exciting! All of you! Sorry, my brain has melted so I can't namecheck but I'm watching and all excited for everyone.

I'm still feeling symptomy and stuff which is wearing but A Good Thing. 12wk scan next Thursday, it can't come quickly enough - I just want to know either way. Argh.

YikesHereWeGo · 17/05/2012 13:23

Gosh there seems to be a lot of exciting news today. V excited for Manda! And I'd be getting very giddy if I were you, Boris.
Possum - hope first day back goes smoothly.
I've followed the suggestions on here and have ordered some ic's from eBay (bargain!) so fingers crossed for a negative result like Possum and Confused, shortly followed by a BFP. Yes, am thinking very positively today :-)

leedy · 17/05/2012 12:50

Awwwww, brilliant news tits! Fingers crossed mine will be nearly as good next Tuesday.

MumTumWanted · 17/05/2012 12:40

Fab news tits Grin

Go manda wishing u all in the luck in world hun for an easy labour xxx and glad dd seems to be on the mend Smile

Hi to the other ladies hope u are all ok today ....

Me? Metalling.....well not even metalling despite the small ray of wanting and hoping so much to be told oh look there's the heartbeat I know I won't so I'm dreading the scan tomorrow so much that I asked dh to come with me Blush I'm normally very independent and have been to the others on my own but the thought of sitting in waiting room for the third time on my own well I just don't think I can face it ... Least it's an early appointment though small blessings and all that Confused

TitsalinaBumSquash · 17/05/2012 12:32

I am weeping over here.

I have the results from NT tests 1:26805

After poor Jaffa's experience I had been worrying a lot more than I realised about it.

PieMistress · 17/05/2012 11:57

Good Luck manda I will be stalking this thread for news of DS's arrival! :) :) xxx

StateofConfusion · 17/05/2012 11:46

boris a lines a line... :)

leedy · 17/05/2012 11:46

boris, that sounds quite hopeful!

And ooh, Manda, keep us posted.

bonzo77 · 17/05/2012 11:45

Nooooooo manda keep updating. we love for your updates. especially if we are talking a rolling birth update. you really do need an iphone you know.

boris the ic strips gave me one of those "am- i -imagining- it" bfps 2 days before af due. FR gave me a more visible one the same day, neither with fmu. i then did ic strips with fmu for about 10 days. the last one finally gave me a bfp that was nearly as dark as the control line. so i was over 5 weeks by that point. in contrast the fr i did at exactly 5 weeks gave me a bfp where the test line was much darker than the control. you can tell i am obsessed. i still have all the tests labelled and stuck to a piece of card. Blush.

posting from work. shit computer, very slow with bizarre keyboard that i cannot touch type on. will post again later.
