Hi all

So much has happened in the last 2 weeks

Really heartbreaking to hear of your family loss nic my thoughts are with you all.

Sorry for the BFN and visits from AF fx for next month

Back from 2 weeks camp with 180 teenagers, so many late nights and so tired!! AF arrived last weekend so no luck this month. I have hospital appointment tomorrow to see what the next stage is, being as the clomid just seems to be producing cysts. Hope I can keep this all in perspective, as head and heart don't always see eye-to-eye at the moment.

redstrawberry · 21/08/2012 16:01

I am getting such strong boob pain that i have just had to unhook my bra for a bit. Lot of sore tenderness on the sides. Its increased since yesterday's deflation. I am thinking of driving back home after work without the bra clasped on. Its that bad!

My only sign of pregnancy last month was the boobs. They feel worse this month. I am not getting my hopes up. But might POAS again tomorrow morning.

StormBird · 21/08/2012 15:46

I THOUGHT I LOST YOU FOr A MINUTE THEN

Hi girls,

just got back from holiday - had a fab time and a lovely birthday (thanks for all the birthday wishes by the way).

DP is still adament not to TTC so I'm still WAITINg for him to change his mind but not excerting any pressure - I don't think that would do us any good ata ll. I still hope for a BFP this year though so I'm sticking around to watch you lot get yours if that's ok.

I've been catching up (trying to anyway) loads has gone on over the last week, I feel really out of the loop.

Hope you are all OK xxxx

winkle2 · 21/08/2012 15:26

When - in response to your question, they checked everything: iron levels, progesterone to see if you're ovulating, liver, etc.

winkle2 · 21/08/2012 15:20

Pressed send to soon. I mainly hang out here and the baby names board - I love hearing about baby names!

winkle2 · 21/08/2012 15:20

As for mn - I do have a good old read at the 'Active' posts quite regularly - there is so much interesting and different information on here!

winkle2 · 21/08/2012 15:19

Thanks all for your thanks ? all really sweet, feel very privileged to have such nice people out there rooting for me. You're all very kind :) I still need to have the pelvic scan, am waiting for an appointment.

Aw RIBS so sorry :( I'm the same ? or should I say was the same ? I just don't allow myself to get hopeful anymore. Good luck with the gyno appt.

redstrawberry · 21/08/2012 14:13

Sorry AF arrived RIBS :( I browse Mamas & Papas and pick stuff out too. Its human nature, dont beat yourself about it. If anything, it just shows how much you want it.

Yes they should have scanned before starting you off on clomid. hope the appointment goes well.

Dexidoo · 21/08/2012 14:09

Glad to hear your tests are all normal winkle

Sorry for the sad loss in your family nicola

I feel sorry for kick that she has lost the support of the conception forums but I have not always found her style of 'advice' altogether helpful

RIBS · 21/08/2012 14:03

I go off for a few days and usually come back to a few BFPs. What has been going on!!

nicola Im so so sorry for you and your family's loss. That poor little boy. I cant imagine what you're all going through. I hope they find him soon.

winkle Good news on the tests, lady! Totally understand that you'll be stepping back a bit from TTC and mn-ing. I think its starting to fuel my stress about TTC, which cant be helping. I hope you are DH have some lovely "you" time and you never know.... "They" (whoever THEY are!!) often say its when you give up if sometimes happens.

TBH im not surprised Kick has left, im quite harsh in RL, but she was at harsh and opinionated at olympic level. However, the woman was very knowledgable about a lot of things TTC related.

AF got me on Sunday, as expected. That was last clomid cycle. So back to having l-o-n-g and irregular cycles. Im just so relieved to be of the pills. I was desperate to be on them too. Dreamed of having twins on them - one of each, had their names picked out, the pram i would buy, everything! What an idiot! Ive got an appointment for next month with the gyno - im going to ask for a scan. Im worried that something went wrong with removal of the baby. TBH I think they should have scanned me before plying me with pills.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 21/08/2012 13:55

She really did spread the word. I thought it was just ttc she knew about but she seems to be an expert in everything.

I have a quick look on AIBU but I am a lurker for the most part.

OP posts:
Kittenkatzen · 21/08/2012 13:42

I guess she had time on her hands whilst off sick!

I quite often read the other boards when I'm commuting or pretending to be working, and there are some threads which are really interesting/informative/funny or whatever. I stick a toe in every now and again but mostly just lurk as I don't have time to dedicate to fighting a hypothetical argument for hours on end!

That and it can be scary out there!

redstrawberry · 21/08/2012 12:52

gosh kick got busy Shock not read them but so many threads!

When I started posting on MN - I joined 3 threads on the conception boards but even that got too much to keep up with - so now I just stick to this one.

I have a life though Wink

Kittenkatzen · 21/08/2012 12:42

fab news winkle :)

weechops · 21/08/2012 12:39

redstrawberry · 21/08/2012 12:22

thanks when and winkle yes I'll hang on to the dream :)
DD or DS both would be much wanted and loved.

Although I could dream about mother-daughter shopping trips Grin and watching cheesy Sat night TV together.

winkle I admire you for all you've been through.

resipsa · 21/08/2012 12:21

That's great news Winkle. Guess the shagfest will be resumed in earnest next month then!
