TTC after MC - nice people in crap times, full of posifrickingtivity

{{{{{{{{{{{{thunder}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Hug please hug please!

Thank you saggyoldlasereyes

Do you need a reciprocal slap Thunder? Or a hug? {{{}}}}

Hmm I'm a bit worried about sharing a thread with you saggy, if you can dent a stick just by looking at it.

I won't slap you today- too fed up. I'm sure someone else will though.

It is bloody annoying. Personally, I thought there was the ghost of a line that you didn't need to tip it sideways to see. Friend say no. She reckoned that if you looked at it sideways there was a groove, but I may have made that by staring at it! I'm not testing again until Friday. I will revert to the rules!

at Pee Stick Eyeball I've definitely had a case of that in the past! It's just a waiting game saggy is SO bloomin annoying though isn't it?

what did your friend think?

cam I'm sorry, can't help with the poo issues - though you do sound like my DD and lactulose has helped her.

I have decided that I don't want to get pg this cycle as it would ruin all sorts of holiday/career plans. I have my eye on Thailand in December and couldn't do those flights if I was 8 month pg. Today I have a sore back/lower tummy and am wondering if it could be implantation. Murphy's law says it is.

I'm adding a rule that we are not counting cycles from when we started TTC at all because 21m it is far too depressing. From the start of 'trying again' ladies, if you please.
I counted the WTF cycle after MC as 0 but I don't think it matters.

camomile I am the opposite. Since my ERPC last friday, I've been emptying my bowel a few times a day . I think I was all bunged up before with the pregnancy hormones. At least that horrible farting has stopped now that I'm going so much.

Camomile I have considered digital, but frankly I'm scared of a negative result! At least this way there is hope!

Tmi alert

Has anyone else had problems with their bowels since mc. I used to be, umm, regular and now go through days on end where I don't and then, achem, a day where I make up for it.

Please can someone add me:

But I simply know I'm not pregnant. Didn't really try. Absolutely no symptoms (and had loads practically immediately last time). Going to poas on Friday 3rd May of no AF.

Sorry to hear there are newbies but welcome to the 'family'. Have my fingers so crossed saggy. Could you get a digital one to save the PSE?

JBrd I counted that as cycle 0, although we did ttc.

jbrd I counted it as cycle 1. I got pregnant last time in that cycle 0/1. I think in the end it's just a way for us to count how long we've tried isn't it? To me personally, it's more like back in September where we started . I don't even know how many cycles it is now.

Do you count the time between a mc and the first af as cycle 0 or is that cycle 1?

Oh FFS! Someone fish slap me with something bony!
I have 1/ broken the rules, and
2/ invented a new optical problem!
Its called Pee Stick Eyeball! It is caused by staring so hard at a white Pee stick that possibly has a line on it that you can no longer see anything!
One of my friends is popping in at any moment, and she is going to be treated to a dose of PSE before she gets a cup of tea!

sal your new work environment sounds lovely. I definitely agree that getting out, meeting people, being busy is one of the best cure.

To the gardeners on this thread. It's been my new year resolution for many years to sort out our back garden. Last year I planted an apple tree and a raspberry bush. Sadly the raspberry died during a dry spell because I forgot to water it. The apple tree is budding though which made me very happy. This year my plan is a few chilli and tomato plants. I've got three little chilli plants on my window sill which I've grown from seeds. I'm going to go to the garden centre this weekend to get 1 or 2 tomato plants. I'm feeling positive they'll all thrive and fruit this year.

Hello sal, were you here before? I remember you I think. Welcome to the thread and good work at bringing that positivity with you too- we need it! I need it today, having a day myself.

saggy and santa this is looking good for you!! Fx

Morning everyone! I've been lurking for a while. Lots of promising noises going on by the sounds of it! Hold your pees for another 48hours ladies, no rule breaking thankyouplease!

I had a lovely unrelaxing week in Spain at my mums with my sister and her two LO's (aged 1 & 2) then started a new job on Monday this week which is really good fun!

I've used an app on my phone to track AF for years and put the day I had the ERPC as day 1 of my cycle. It says that AF should be due in two days and when I went to the loo this morning had some slight brown spotting on the loo roll which is really promising!! We've only had a couple of rubbish bonks since the MMC so it defo isn't related to a BFP but I'd be chuffed to bits if my cycle got back to normal that quickly!

I'm a beauty and skin therapist and for the last 3 years have worked from home and more recently moved into a new town so have been slowly building the biz up. It had meant that I've had a lot of very quiet days on my own doing sweet FA which is the perfect opportunity for stewing and moping about things. So this week I moved into a salon where I rent an amazing room and am surrounding by a team of hilarious flamboyant gay hairdressers, much better for the mood than any Prozac on the market! Haha

Anyway, here's hoping (for the first time in a long time) that AF is about to swing by (the b*tch better bring cake)!

Xx
