The Elderberry Pavlovas- All aboard the Berrycopter. Thread 14

Cuckin, I assumed you had posted by accident as you didn't introduce yourself etc

Thanks for ignoring - will go elsewhere

Oh please take us with you!!! . thunder will make such a good mum, look how she's sorting all of us out! Who will teach us all of this new 'teddy' stuff?!!

Put 'bear' in the square brackets bunny

I'm handing out teddies and hot chocolate and spreading a few more duvets about. But not despair ones. Just snuggly Sunday night chill out distraction ones.

Oh thunder you positive lovely thing you!

And how do you make teddys?

You won't blind cos you're coming with me.

Used to be very unpositive and I am so lucky to have been given a ray of sunshine which I never believed I would see. So yep, I'm sharing that!

Ah good ol thunder with her positivity, sorting us silly berries out! We'll miss you when you're gone!

Hello all

I'm the only one watching countryfile then

Tricky week going on here isn't it? barking you definitely need to step away from dr google although I am always on there myself.

yorkie my lovely- may the time speed toward tomorrow for you. I know you're dreading it but I really think that like you say it's the not knowing that is the really hard bit. We can deal with facts but the unknown is almost impossible to deal with.

blind, I wee on that 15% and give you much better odds. Come on!

And you bunny, you don't know that you won't get the same signals the month you get your bfp. And I'm holding out that it is this month of course!

Thanks merk I know exactly how you feel about enthusiastically starting a clear out and then wanting to give up half way through when you realise how much work it involves! Hope all is well with you.

Sorry that you think AF is on its way bunny

Tidying or chucking things out?!?

merk I'm banished to the bedroom as well as Dh and his friends are watching American football. I'm doing nothing productive though! Not with corra and x-factor on anyway! X

Sorry to be stumbling upon so many fretting and down in the dumps berries. Yorkie will be thinking of you tomorrow, Barking you know where I am, everyone in the 2ww remember its not over until the fat lady sings.
I am relegated to the bedroom (unless I really want to watch the new Star Wars film) as OH and his cousin have taken over the living room. That's the downside of having everything open plan as I only have the bedrooms or bathrooms to escape into! Am having a huge wardrobe tidy up, which is good, but am at that stage where I am bored but the bedroom currently looks like a bombsite so have to keep going. Grrr

barking big hugs when he gets in!

yorkie just a bit fed up yeah, I can feel AF coming but due to late ov she probably won't arrive till Friday! Based on my usual cycle it would have been tomorrow, the waiting when you know the inevitable is coming is just cruel!

bunny exactly! Any glimmer of hope at any time might have made me optimistic but it hasn't! Also, if (what seems like) the world keeps telling me about my 15% chance of conceiving its hard to be positive! I swear people keep thinking I've forgotten lol!

thanks for the invite bunny yes I will join you under the duvet of despair. You feeling down too bunny?

Oh I love stardust. Just turned onto channel 4 + 1 to watch the beginning. Thanks barking Glad to hear your other half is nearly back. They might not be able to say the right thing but they do give good hugs when needed.

Bunny he's due back anytime!!!

pip ta for the

yorkie I'm watching Stardust on Channel 4! whilst still failing to finish my lesson plans

kitty I can't imagine testing would tell me anything as I'd still have enough hormones to make the line even if it had gone as far as I understand it but I could be wrong. They've already moved the scan forward as much as they will, as they won't do two scans less than 7 days apart as they want to give it long enough to see a change or not.

sid sorry to hear your appt was more positive

kitty my DH always tells me off for being negative, but to be fair I usually am right and life is indeed pants!

Sitting under the duvet of despair! yorkie come sit with me

barking so sorry you feel so blue, is your other half back yet? x

boodle room under this duvet for you too! And you barking, it's very cosy!

Welcome back charming glad you had a good appt! One of my friends is about to come off the pill and I bet she is an instadiffer too!!!

barking so sorry to hear this. I'd the epu able to bring it forward? Have you tested again? So sorry you've also got to deal with your neighbour. Wish I could fling my arms around you right now and make everything ok.

charming 6 months??? Dear god, she must be going out of her her mind

barking please step away from dr google, it won't help and you'll only freak yourself out on there with worst case scenarios. Were you told to ring back if the bleeding or cramps got any worse?

kitty I haven't even contemplated they could go down tbh. I've just resigned myself to the fact they will go up and that will be the end of that. It's tomorrow morning at 10 am. I think because I genuinely don't know what they are going to say I am going through worst case scenarios in my head and scaring myself shitless! boodle you're right I need to do something to distract as I'm just winding myself up even more.

Anything good on tv to distract all us fretting berries?

Oh Barking sending you love, hugs and some of the cake I've just made.
I really hope it's ok.

I know kitty, it doesn't help .
I went into epu on Thursday because I'd been spotting (had a scan which showed no heartbeat but they didn't know whether it was just too early due to late ovulation/conception rather than bad news) and I called them Saturday morning when the bleeding got heavier and cramps were worse and again last night when it was bright red with clots. She said it could be an early miscarriage but they wouldn't know until I get another scan this coming Thursday. Yesterday I was convinced it would all be ok and I just had to get through it. Today, with the cramps getting worse, I'm struggling to remain positive. It feels so unfair to have to start all over again. Doesn't help that the woman next door went into labour this morning, and will shortly be bringing home her 4th baby to walk with past my door every day .

Hello Berries! I'm sorry for having been AWOL for so long. The start of term has knocked me for six and I've been sleeping a lot! Promise to try harder this week onwards!
So pleased to read your news, everyone. I've missed the humour and wisdom.
Barking are you having the bleeding checked at all?
tally how are you today?
thunder what a lovely scan!
Chez-moi, I went to see my FC on Monday, narrowly missing sid in the waiting room .
The metformin has worked in regulating my cycles to 35 days, but obv not pg! So, I have faith in the diagnosis of PCO and that metformin is a good thing for me.
We discussed short luteal phase and very light af. FC took me seriously and explained that he doesn't entirely trust opks in PCO cases, so my luteal phase may be fine. Spotting has been starting on 10dpo. So, I'm having a monitored cycle this cycle. I'm going back for a scan tomorrow evening, cd19 as I think I ov around cd 24. He wants to see if that looks to be the case. Once that's happened, he can make a plan, which may involve clomid. He said the cramps I've been getting from ov to af are a good sign of 'things happening'. With regard to the very light periods, he put that down to things settling down. He did mention that I could have a mc, as it suggests the lining would not be thick enough for implantation, but that he would give me meds to support the lining if I were to fall pg.
Nice, nice, nice!
On it goes......
A friend who is pg with her second told me over the summer that they had been frustrated as it had taken them 6 months to conceive no2! (suggesting no1 was on first squirt, as DH puts it). I shrieked at her.... My only remaining childless friend is getting married next month and is off the pill and has worked out her window of conception from next month. Bet she's diffed by xmas and I'm popping pills. ho hum.
Have to figure out how on earth we're going to find time or energy to dtd now I'm back teaching.....had so hoped to score over the holidays!
to you all x

barking not wanting to quote my Dh and fc but maybe you shouldn't 'google' anything right now and call you're epu tomorrow morning

yorkie you never know, you're second fsh might be better! When do you find out? X
