The Elderberry Pavlovas are pimping everyday – a lovely thread for 30+ ladies TTC #1 (Thread 7)

good luck for next month merky moo

indeed I did frog I have everything crossed for her and for the rest of you ladies.

And you updiffed the next month right Mother? Fingers crossed for Merk then!

frog I wonder the same about January, I had a crazy metalic taste for a few days and a real wtf cycle with lots of odd things (dare I say symptoms). I never got a bfp though so disregarded it.

Interesting that you are more fertile after a CP. I'm not entirely convinced that I didn't have one last cycle. AF was several days later than has ever been before & although I did POAS & got a BFN it wasn't one of the more sensitive ones so quite feasibly could just not have detected it. I was so emotional for days before AF, had a really sore lower back & a v weird lower abdomen pain. There is some statistic that up to 70% of actual conception can end in a CP & a lot of people jsut don't realise it so pls believe that I'm not completely nutty for being so convinced that I was pg when i wasn't.

and as you have said Merk a CP means that everything can meet up, which is half the battle won.

merk just dropping in to say that sorry, but yes, apparently you're supposed to be more fertile just after a cp. Both me and Brave on the graduate thread got pregnant immediately after a cp.

Morning all, how are we today? How you doing merk ?

Oh Merk so rubbish.
However, are you sure it's AF? You say it's just brown spotting.

Also, someone earlier said something about overnight trolls this morning. What did I miss?

oh merkin I'm so sorry. join in with the depressed hugs over here.... I just got back from a girly night sewing and chatting to find out I should have been here with wine and chocolate (even if I can't have either because of my migraines) and a big snuggly quilt to throw over everyone so we can snuggle and comfort each other.
I really hope it means good news for you next month though, I'll be keeping my fingers (and unfortunately legs) crossed its your time.

Yes, last week's obem was instadiffer central. The other woman got pg after sex with friend on Xmas eve and didn't get morning after pill as it was Xmas day & chemist closed, but thought she'd be ok. She gave birth wearing false eyelashes and full make up.... barking, the chav sisters upset me mucho!

So sorry Merks :(

Ugh maybe I will just watch the eps then with sensible old birds (like us) who are settled and sane!!!

Night all! Having tried to cast on and start some knitting while watching a film with DP I'm now on the 4th attempt and have yet again realised I've messed up the 7 stitch repeat pattern somewhere on the first round!!! Bollocks and bollocks again! Giving up and off to bed. Tomorrow's another school day....

I wouldn't watch the episode aired last week. Woman in her 30's who had to be persuaded by on off partner not to have an abortion and admits to being selfish, chav with attitude who has decided that she might give this mum thing a go although she was tempted to carry on having fun instead when she found out she was pg, she won't be a single mum 'cos chav sister will be there to help. And teenage pregnancy whose uni plans have been scuppered by yet another accidental upduffment. Found it all a little more than depressing last week!!

Night, Merks - I'm going for an early one too. Not had a good day (will not divulge as it's 'out' worthy) but it's nothing compared to the stress you must be feeling. I really hope it's gone in the morning - a bit of bleeding is so common in early pregnancy. I'm crossing fingers, toes, legs (no DTD tonight so it's ok) for you.

Soz to excite, I've got 11 OBEMs taped that I haven't watched yet!

Oh...I'm one night premature. (

Oh, is that why it's quiet on here?! It's OBEM night! Right, that's my cue...

Just about to watch OBEM, haven't watched any this series, not sure if this is a good idea or not

Oh merks

merk its something to do with your hormones, not too sure, mr google is prob more help but i'm sure the month after a CP you're more fertile.

Also you know everything is in full working order, if nothing else that is good to know. no consolation I know

I did have some browny/red blood on the morning before AF was due, a couple of wipes and then nothing, it was enough to panic me though! I'm afraid only time will tell....still got fx for you.

ILoveMyCats - helloooo!

Merks - . Pants and knickers and nuts to AF. (I'm a right potty mouth.)

Welcome Yorkshire / Pudd! (Have you decided which yet? We can't possibly call you by the actual name you have chosen...it's just not the done thing!)

Tally, as others have said, temperatures during /just after AF can be a bit wacky! (I know mine always are!) Trust the first temperature and wait until the end of the cycle - you will probably find a pattern emerges eventually!

I'm not sure where Connie has gone either, although (whispers) I was having a little snoop on the BESH thread last night and I swear there is someone on there who posts in a very similar style to our old friend. Unfortunately, this person was having a very bad time of things, so I hope it's not her, but y'know when you just get that spidey-sense / deja vu feeling? I was getting it, big time!

If you're still out there, send us a sign! We miss yooooou!
