Elderberry Pavlovas Unite - the over 30s TTC number 1 (thread 2)

Oh no pip
I'm due tomorrow and not testing either!
13 dpo argh.

Spotting during my run.
Not much, but some.

pip you stay strong!!

No, I'm going to wait. I figure AF will be along soon enough, I'd sooner her than a BFN.

pip fingers crossed TIGHT for you!!!

Oh Janey and Rache so sweet. I hope it is, for you lot now as much as anything.

Pip, no, definitely don't you get excited. You don't need to because I will do it on your behalf. I've got a feeling this is your month, everything is sounding good so far

Hello to newbies!!!

Oh pip I think you're right not to get excited... But maybe I'll just secretly be a teeny bit excited that there's a hope it's your month...we've all said we're not going anywhere without you so it simply has to be your turn soon anyway...everything crossed....

shhhhh, don't say anything too loud but it's 9dpo here and I've had absolutely no spotting yet this cycle, even after a run or a serious bathroom visit. Normally I get spotting from those activities from at least 7dpo.

I'm not getting excited at all yet. After 15 failed cycles, the novelty wears off.

Escorpion that really made me laugh. Made you sound like a Bond baddie!

Good news on shag week for some!!
I've no symptoms apart from constipation back . And itchy boobs but I'm aware that's just my mind. Af due sat.

janey so, any snorting planned?

Just back from a bodypump class, nausea better. Hm, sports seems to be the answer to everything.

Brave I'm mostly eating fruit and veggies, luckily any food seems to work. Would love nuts, but those bastards have 600 kcal per 100gr and I'm not one of those people who can nibble on 5 almonds for half an hour or similar.

happylass, I have a similar dilemna. OH going to his company´s party this eve, so won´t be back til late. I will be waiting for him under the covers mwah ha ha

Welcome to the newcomers and sorry to those who've had mmc

V excited to get a on the OPK just now on the second test I've done today I'm back in the game yey. Got the Cnceive Plus at the ready but DP has a squash match so he won't be back til late. Hope he has some energy left

Janey is it wrong that I just had a snort of laughter while reading that? Seriously, the medical pro in this country can be hit and miss!

Hi Sazza and welcome - really sorry to hear about your mmc. Must have been a terrible time. But the gals here are amazingly friendly so come join the party!

Boo at proper ms Hazle what are you grazing on? I think high satiety index stuff is good as it makes you feel full for longer - like popcorn, IIRC. Another friend grazed a lot on nuts and seeds - low in calories and full of essential fats.

Re fashion, I'm too northern these days to be considered 'hip' but big bird's nest hair seems to be very very scarily in vogue right now. Seriously, I want to cry for them at the thought of untangling the mess they spend hours creating! Lots of shorts over tights/leggings - American Apparel is always good for that, as is Urban Outfitters

Good luck in your mission to be chilled and rational navis rest assured that the ladies here will be the first to encourage you if you seem too laidback

Hi sazza! Welcome.
Sorry to hear about your mmc - exactly the same with me at 12 weeks, it's horrendous isn't it. Had a healthy private scans a couple of weeks before so was a complete shock. BUT what we have to remember - and you navis too - is that it's no more likely to happen to us again than anyone else. In fact to my mathematical mind, it's pretty much less likely, as we've had our fair share of crap already. In fact, I think we've had enough crap for all us elderberries, with the other early mc on this group too, so I reckon from here on in there's no bad news at all, only lots of BFP's and healthy scans.

(oh, to newcomers though, absolutely no baby dust allowed. was agreed early on that the phrase was vom-inducing and banned).

rache - sorry I confused you with hazle. I'm blaming baby brain (although it's obviously just me being an idiot). Had a telephone consultation with the doctor to get my 'ok' to go abroad which went something like this:

?will you be drinking a lot of alcohol?? me ?no, not even a drop?
?what will you be drinking then?? me ?a lot of water?
?what about if it?s hot? me ?yes, I know not to have any ice?
?what will you be eating then?? me ?we?re staying in 5* hotels so I think we?ll be eating decent food mainly?
?and have you had any discharge ?down there??? (urm, do doctors really call it that?!) me ?no thank goodness?
?and are you planning to be snorting anything? ? WTF?!!!!!!

Weirdly didn't think to ask about travel jabs or exactly where I was going (re malaria) so I brought both of those up.

Even more reassured that my GP's are completely bloody useless - and a little offensive!!

Hazle, Brave and Winkle - ta for the welcome - looking forward to some thread-generated luckiness! Brave - massive congrats, the CBD result sounds really positive Hazle - hope the sickness isn't too bad.

Zombies - I used the internet cheapies for the first time last month - seemed to work in that I got a strong line when LH peaked. But then didn't get upduffed so who knows....!

Sazza - hiya! know exactly what you mean re POAS obsession - got waaaay out of control with it last month...this month I am going to be a chilled and rational human being... (yeah, right!) Sorry to hear about your mmc - completely sympathise as I had exactly the same with my first mmc - such a shock Best of luck for tomorrow though

What a friendly thread!
Pip, things are going ok with me... I haven't come to join the thread, I hope everything continues to go well with this pregnancy.
I was searching the Conception topic for some info for a friend (who is considering cbfm and I remembered you and some of the other sleighers discussing it), saw your name as the last poster on this thread, and stopped by to say 'hi'.

I've heard a couple of really positive stories lately of people who've conceived after quite a while trying... hope you will soon be one of them. And all the lovely ladies here... good luck x

Welcome Shazza

Hi LimeLeaf, it's nice to be remembered.
How are things with you? Have you come to join us here?

Hi Sazza nice to meet you, sorry to hear about your mmc, what a traumatic experience that must have been. It is the nightmare scenario I keep playing round my mind I have to admit (especially with my 12wk scan on Xmas eve). You will find the Elderberries very welcome I think, there are a few people either pg or TTC after a MC too.

Hazle I am feeling a bit yuck today too - trying to see every day where I'm not incapacitated with nausea as a bonus at the mo as I am only top aware of how it can suddenly ramp up.

In terms of shops how about Urban Outfitters? There's a huge one on Oxford st or one on High St Ken, or Westfields. You are bound to find something there.

Jeebus, too many emoticons in that post... XD
