Hope there was lots of baby-making last night.
Still feeling ok this morning, hardly any bleeding last night so fx I can be on the wagon soon too. V worried that with my week away next week I'll miss the window completely :(
So I need to store up as much sperm (hah! Just got auto corrected to spermicides, which is NOT what I want) as possible and hope for a slow, dormant, female one.
The more sensible thing to do would be to just resign myself to missing this cycle and go for a 2014 baby... And so not be disappointed when af does show up.

Speaking of af, hope it doesn't show up for anyone today. Especially with those nice knickers on

Eek garden and booty!! ive even scheduled an After work trip into town so i can get a test (Unless AF has shown) God I'm so impatient!! I woke up thinking it was Thursday!! Didn't sleep a wink last night and all sniffly this morning...those are symptoms right?!

icklemssunshine1 · 12/03/2013 07:46

Am loving this thread - it really puts me in a positive mood. It'll be 2 weeks tomorrow since ERPC and have yet to DTD as still bleeding (very light and on and off now), don't want to risk infection and tbh really haven't been in the mood. All that's changed now! Can't wait for the TTC to begin! Going to buy some ovulation sticks on way home from work :)

GardenWorm · 12/03/2013 07:40

Booty - yep, and I can't even cheat as stashed tests in the room my parents are staying in! Clever hey?!

Fod hope you haven't still got your legs up...that would be one marathon sexing!

fod27 · 12/03/2013 06:41

You've got to love the comfy belly smacking granny pants tho! Saggy you do make me laugh! 5 minutes!!! Your such a lucky girl lol remember get on your back with your legs in the air for 20 minutes after!!

Bootyboo · 12/03/2013 06:11

Morning all!!

Janie & Garden 2 more days! (I don't count today as its already started Grin)

Although I feel a bit AF'y but hanging on in there - I even put nice knickers on today instead of my usual 'AF is looming' grey old granny pants!

MrsSpencerReid · 12/03/2013 00:00

Whoever was asking about fb you go onto their profile and click or hover over the friend box and it gives you options, on of which is don't show on my news feed or something click that and hey presto, no more "love feeling my baby move" "my bump is so big now" err no it's not you're 2w preg!! I've done this a few times recently hope everyone is doing ok and there is lots of sex occurring Wink

SaggyOldClothCatpuss · 11/03/2013 23:50

SaggyOldClothCatpuss · 11/03/2013 23:49

fod27 · 11/03/2013 21:48

#theirs....tut tut

fod27 · 11/03/2013 21:48

mummy I felt exactly the same! Stooooopid Facebook! Do you know how to remove them from your feed? They still remain your friend and they can see your posts but you don't have to see there's..... It's great the only ones left on mine now are family, friends with teenagers or menopausel women .....brilliant!

fod27 · 11/03/2013 21:45

Thanks for the kind words guys...he is posifrickintive too!!!

Aly I'm so glad your ok ;) it's all so daunting isn't it? But at least you now have a clean slate (no pun intended) if it went on unnoticed or left for too long you could have risked infection or worse.....make sure you have lots of goodies and naughty foods at hand (it helped me through)

So guys should I go for it? Or wait? I'm getting über excited now thinkin about it!!!! Babies babies babies!!!

Mummytothearkbuilder · 11/03/2013 21:16

The doctors told us one cycle and its purely for dating purposes - they then said "however that's what we have scans for so if you are ready to for it!" We needed no further encouragement than that!! I have 2 friends who fell pregnant before their first AF and went on to have healthy pregnancies / babies xx

JanieLovesCake · 11/03/2013 21:15

hey aly you sound pretty positive which is great :) glad you got through today ok xx

alyant79 · 11/03/2013 20:57

I also think the only reason they often say to wait one month (and what's with 2???) is for dating purposes. If you feel like it, do it. (Once bleeding stops)

alyant79 · 11/03/2013 20:51

ickle sorry you are here.
Def do a preg test. I've just had an erpc today, 4 weeks after my medically managed miscarriage. Pg test kept coming up positive and when they did a scan last week it showed lots of crap left behind that they had to get out.
All bleeding had stopped after 2.5 weeks but there was obv still stuff there. My gut feeling is that it would have come out on its own as a super heavy period, but might have taken a few more weeks. Best to get it all out now.

On that note, thanks for all the good wishes guys. It went ok, no dramas and I'm feeling ok (but exhausted from the general). Preparing for upcoming hormone crash, but fx it'll be less than last time. Hcg levels were 450 yesterday, so there's not much to crash, right? Posifrickentivity!!!!!

Oh and fod I really really hope the docs manage to kick the arse of your brothers cancer. I've got fingers and toes crossed for him.

Mummytothearkbuilder · 11/03/2013 20:35

Hi ladies hope you are okay today and to those who have been feeling blue I hope you start feeling better soon - big hugs to you all.

I have had a busy day so trying not to think of things however if I see one more Facebook pregnancy or baby gender announcement I think I may scream!!!!!!

I am doing opk everyday and still nothing - am hoping I get a positive opk soon (or I've missed the surge but still DTD enough - we have been doing it every other day since the bleeding stopped).

I am worried as the doctor seems to think I'm not ovulating every cycle Hmm xx

JanieLovesCake · 11/03/2013 19:43

oh chocolate i'm so sorry AF got you :( hope you can make the most of DH before he heads off

hi ickle hope you;re doing ok under the circumstances. i had some 'gushes' after i thought the bleeding had finished but i think it completely stopped after about 2 and a half weeks ish. unfortunately there's no 'normal' but you sound like you're well on the way to a physical recovery....i still get a bit emotional and mine was in october, but i remember a day when i just pulled my socks up and started feeling positive about the road ahead. you're in good company here x

good on ya booty i have no pg tests in the house so not going to buy any until thursday night (unless AF shows up before then obv) so testing friday morning. now where's that fast forward button ffs!

Bootyboo · 11/03/2013 18:45

Hey Janie I am indeed - if I don't get AF before. I thought about doing it earlier Blush but didn't give in - I want some of the recent Friday testing BFP luck Grin bring it on!

Fod - good to hear that treatment is starting for your brother, thats a step in the right direction at least. His poor partner :(

fod27 · 11/03/2013 18:43

Upwards being the operative word hahaa

Unfortanetly I started to show so they were all very aware ;( plus I had to leave the room constantly to vomit! They were all so excited and had even been looking at baby clothes as a present once it was born, I'm very lucky as they were a tough group but they have warmed to me alot over the year and I mother them too a extent ..... Can't help it

I hope it's stopped and it's not a stop start situation that would drive me bonkers!
