A new thread for all you lovely, crazy ladies. Here's to lots of BFPs!

Omama look after yourself. It is hard. I'm finding it hard. I didn't cry today (first day since I think). I am ready to ttc now. But it feels wrong. So wrong. Do things at your own timescale. Take care x x

2beornot · 26/06/2013 20:39

Just POAS tonight and got a BFN!! So that means ERPC was successful, right? And we can officially start ttc again?

Do I assume Friday was day 1 of my cycle? I don't really want to start using OPKs (tho was tempted today) but at the same time don't want to get knackered by shagging too early!

Also, am I a bad person for wanting to ttc straight away.

omama · 26/06/2013 19:56

Hi ladies can i join?

Started mcing naturally over wknd after discovering I'd had a mmc at 11wks (baby measured < 6wks) Pretty horrendous wknd, masses of pain & heavy bleeding, an overnight stay in hospital & an erpc yesterday.

Back home today & still feeling pretty tender. am not ready to start ttc yet, so am gonna lurk quietly in the background for a while til I'm recovered, but wanted to introduce myself & say hi & hope u don't mind - I also wanted to ask a question.

How quickly did you all start ttc again after mc? Its playing on my mind a lot. I feel so sad about the little bean I just lost, & I want to give myself enough time to recover emotionally. However it took 15 cycles ttc to get pregnant this time & I'm anxious it could take as long again, or even longer, so in a way am keen to get ttc as soon as possible, but a little worried about rushing straight into it.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 26/06/2013 18:00

Lol! No I'm not in jail! Grin we did attempt DTD but decided we were just too knackered!
Gives new meaning to "shagged out"! Shock

Emki · 26/06/2013 14:07

Good luck aly !!!

alyant79 · 26/06/2013 13:36

aw big hugs to flower and emki. I'm sorry you're both feeling so down Sad
you've both got nasty anniversaries coming up which are bound to make you feel miserable - just let the tears come. If you try and hold it all in it won't be good for you.

OLTT i'm sorry that your period came but i'm glad you had a lovely time and lots of sangria.
rainbow i hope you do lots more swimming and try and ignore those bumps.

saggy i hope you left your DH alone and aren't in gaol somewhere.

SMEP starts tonight for us... exhausted just thinking about it!

Emki · 26/06/2013 13:15

I'm pretty miserable too!!! Had a complete melt down last night - had a comment yesterday about the mc I had last year - anniversary on Friday - lost baby at 5 months pregnant) which made my blood boil!

AF due on Friday too - so don't want her to come - really want it to happen now as really feel I'm falling apart - dh thinks I need counselling Grin.

Trying so hard to resist POAS!!!! I need many fish slaps!!!

Sorry !! Like flower also hoping that by getting this dell down I ca cheer up xx

GuffSmuggler · 26/06/2013 13:09

Awwww thanks guys This thread has been a lifeline, we will all get each other through to that BFP!!

Sorry the evil witch got you onelittle Sad Make sure you extra indulge on holiday to make up for it.

Sorry you are having a crappy day flower TTC after MC is so blimmin tough Angry

Glad you gad a goid holiday oltt but sorry af got you.

Feeling thoroughly rubbish today and really beginning to hate this ttc malarkey! Af due any day and feels like its on its way. Got three rounds of clomid left and then I think we are faced with the real possibility that ivf is our only option which would mean paying privately or waiting 2 years for nhs. But just don't know if I have the energy to go through it all. Sorry I am wallowing so please ignore me just hoping that by writing this all down ill get rid of my negativity! I'm hoping that once I've gone past next week which is my birthday (another year older and still childless) plus what should have been my edd that I can start with the posifrickintivity!

OneLittleToddleTerror · 26/06/2013 11:24

Morning all. Just checking back in after a week of nice sunshine on the beach, eating lots of food and having wine/sangria with every meal.

AF arrived on my first day of holiday. I had the slight optimism that maybe it's my lucky week when packing the bags. It was 16 dpo and no sight of AF. So I didn't pack any tampons. My first purchase in Spain therefore was a pack of tampons and pads in the corner shop next to the hotel Grin. Oh well, onwards and upwards, hopefully it'll be a better month for me this time round.

I haven't caught up with all the news. I think guff got a bfp from the last few posts. Huge congrats if it's true.

Sundance2007 · 26/06/2013 09:44

Bloody hell guff that's such lovely news, I'm really happy for you Hun!!! Seems to be a pregnancy boom everywhere at the minute but it genuinely is heartwarming when someone in here gets pg, gives the rest of us hope! Xx

Thundercatsarego · 26/06/2013 07:49

Hooray guff!! Congratulations!

Grin at saggy's exhausted fella

Morning everyone else x

RainbowConnections · 26/06/2013 07:29

Guff thats fantastic news! I've been full of pregnant lady bitterness. Nice to have someone to be happy for.
Rockchick can't remember if I said it already but if not congrats too. Hope you are well?

DDMF glad you're back in the game, even if DHs timing annoying for this month.

Missm fingers crossed for DHs job situation.

We're on a kiddies holiday chosen for DS and place is full of ladies with bumps. Felt like I was in a nightmare yesterday. But i ignored MC advice and went swimming in pool at end of day. Brilliant fun.

Impressed with all the action. SMEP sounds exhausting!!

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 25/06/2013 23:17

Grin I've just got into bed. DP says "just so you know, if you come near me I'm calling the police!" Confused Hmm Grin

alyant79 · 25/06/2013 22:34

Not over yet flower

alyant79 · 25/06/2013 22:33

Yaaaaayy guff!!!!!!!!!!

dildoos · 25/06/2013 21:48

Fedup- I know my thoughts entirely! It sucked up his penis so unsure as to where we could extract his swimmers from? Now watching the op they have found his penis woohoo a penis is born Grin
Miss - that's a hard thing to do is wait ESP when you want something so much! Keep on here as company is always good!!
Xx

missmakesstuff · 25/06/2013 21:39

Congrats Guff, great news, there is hope for us all.

I had a lovely, busy weekend with yet more bloody babies and pregnant people popping up and out everywhere. I was slightly satisfied when I heard the name one of them has chosen for the impending arrival, it did cheer me up a tad as it is totally ridiculous, evil I know but I take comfort where I can.

I am ovulating and miserable as am now letting this one go to waste. Got symptoms on Friday and DTD then, got positive OPK today, so probably OV today and DH doesn't want to do the deed as we Are Not Trying.

I am kind of resigned to trying again after the summer now, when hopefully things will improve for us work wise and we can plan for another DC. I have a lot on at work and lots of really great stuff happening over the next year, so a summer 2014 baby might be really nice timing actually. I can get fit and a bit thinner before then too, plus enjoy the summer getting pissed camping and enjoying the sun. When it arrives. We also have loads to do to finish our house off so we can sell it in a couple of years, a project for the garden and lots of other plans.

Can you tell I am talking myself into this?!!

Hope all of you get the results you want but I think I will just have to keep dipping in and lurking every so often until we are TTC again as it is making me a bit miserable in actual fact because all I want is to be doing something to get another DC - this putting it off is horrible as it isn't our choice.

fedupofrainydays · 25/06/2013 21:32

The 10 stone testicle programme - v amused you chose to record that one. Imagine the amount of swimmers in there!!

Am full to the brim too - been constant shagging since Thursday. Too old for this!! Just hoping one healthy swimmer front crawls / butterflies it rather than doggy paddle to meet the egg.

Squiggly - I'm sure your garden looks lovely (not in a crude sense, in a garden sense!)

Congrats guff - thats great news! it's all happening on this thread. I hope this is a good sign for my bfp this month. So beginning to lose hope and energy for all this.

Floweroct · 25/06/2013 21:05

Guff congrats that's great news!

I also abused the system but bfn :( I'm only 12 dpo and did it this evening so know I'm not completely out but needed to stop me getting my hopes up < ducks to avoid fish slaps>
