Very nervous to TTC after a miscarriage but am going for it

OI OVARIES!!!!!!!!!!! BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol romilly...trying not to be just seems like every one i know is pg..arghhhh...lol....its all those who got caught out at xmas...just been looking on chart and if i get pg this month will be due around 10th nov.....my wedding anni and ds would be 2yrs 1 mth..lol...so i need to be grabbing dh this week

mishi - dont feel devastated - just get some of 'em smiley face OPKs sorted!

for "to" read "go" - oops

oi ovaries - BFP please!!!!

(there you to bella, doing my best!)

i agree bella it is really hard with the pg friend bit and u should stay home eating tons of choccie and treating urself

DQ the wait is hard but am sure af or bfp will behere soon

Romilly god u due again next week...arghh that means im nearly on 2 ww.....i know its only the first month but am starting to fele devestated at the prospect of not being pg again...pmsl...nothing like a bit of impatience hey
take care all

first off, bella, cheer up girl and i don't think you should feel remotely guilty or pressurized into going to your friends pregnancy thingummy - if i were you i would just make my excuses and then do something totally self-indulgent at that time instead. (i'm quite good at self-indulgence, as it goes ) god knows, we spend enough of our lives doing things we don't want to do - but feel we ought to, huh? (i think exercise dvds might just come into that category too, dq )

hey dqueen - yes, this wait seems long, but i totally know what you mean about wanting to hope so holding off the testing...
how many days into your cycle are you? my AF is due around next wednesday according to ff. chart -
i have got a first response sitting on my bathroom cabinet at the ready - so i guess if my willpower can hold out i should wait 'til next friday if nothing's arrived. pretty sure i'm not going to be able to wait that long.

have a large flake from me Bella.
sorry, it must of been a tough conversation.
I do think you should stay home from her get-together tho, if you want. she should understand (have you said, 'i am pleased but its very hard so soon after my m/c'???) and dh should be told why too. he wont understand (hes a bloke- ) but he should respect it.
i'm doing alright, funnily no rush to test, absolutely 99% sure its going to be a '-' anyhow. just wishing af here actually. supose i test and its neg, and then af STILL doesnt come? its messing with my mind. but while i'm sat waiting there is hope right?
and if not, well, join you second cycle girlies then! is that site working yet....i half read something on it and want to finish it........

Sending you lots & lots of positive vibes across now. I know that mad dash across the office, to hit the toilets before anyone spots you sobbing, so well.

I suggest going out to buy lots of chocolate immediately.

sorry VERY bad manners -alterego, thanks for calling in our mad mad thread and telling us your news. I seriously hope this is your time and alls well at your next checkup. let us know.
I'm so pleased youre pg again, we keep needing sucess stories to boost us along. thankyou

ladies, ooooh busy board tonight
bella, yes good choice of words, no i dont like the person being jealous of pg makes me, but it does. and will continue to until i get to a big happy round pg at 36wks or something. i dont try and stop the feelings anymore- cause they are perfectly normal, instead i try to avoid situations where i'd feel them...(you know like mothercare....)and if cant do that then at least i try not to say them out loud! (except prob here!) but its very hard, and around me alot, pg women, new buggies, baby this, baby that. oh and now two people close to me have 'decided to ttc'. i just KNOW if they get pg before me -and without 'trying', i'm going to feel REALLY jealous and bitchy. the only ladies who can get pg before me is one of you guys.
ahem.....rant over!
george, welcome welcome, we are rational honest!!
have seen some of the ferning on a friend of a friends saliva test thingy. so does happen. and noticed there are many such tests on Ebay currently. very very good luck! on the infamous link thats stopped working (obviously crashed due to many many mumsnetters going there!!LOL) there was some info about us NOT ovulating sometimes straight after ERPC...apparently often woman dont ovualte as such, experience low surge of hormone that opks pick up, and just have af then. so firstly opks would never read positive from that, and secondly, so much harder chance of getting pg first month then. as our stats here are proving!
I cant do the fertility monitor thing either....need far more hours sleep than i get currently with dd2, and need to do stuff to some fo them aroudn same time every day, i dont get up same time ANY day!! so tis not going to work for me....currently. DO use OPKS, and have done before (did this mad mad ttc thing with dd2 after last ERPC!) and find them pretty good. alittle obsessive, but i like to indulge myself!
unfortunately have got 'ultra early' pg tests now and they are burning a hole in my bedroom drawer!!!!!!!!!!! rom hate this 2ww dont you? when you testing girlie?? fingers v crossed for you
could everyone stop doing the exercise dvds!!! how to make me feel bad or what!! tell myself i run around after dds and ds enough -and dog!-but dont know......i cant think of anything less apealing to me right now than an exercise dvd. sorry, will try one next month when pmt/depression/whatever the funk i'm in is has past.
sweet dreams all

Hi Bella, my BF found out she was pg the day before me and her 12 wk scan is on sat so having the same green eyed moments. Tough isn't it, esp when they moan about feeling poorly - argh!!!

i love the sound of ferning tho - rhymes with gurning

george - i know it sounds time consuming - but once you get into the routine it honestly takes no time at all. its basically just thwacking a thermometer in your mouth for 60 seconds as soon as you wake up and then dashing to the loo to pee on your stick (sorry, bit TMI) and seeing as i would be having a pee anyhow i dont really resent doing that! LOL

ok, you do have to log the info onto your chart - but i do that online with Fertilityfriend.com which works everything out for you - see, the whole things a doddle. don't know if its going to do the trick yet tho (bloody well hope so!)

p.s. last time i got pg. i did nothing - nada - and had just come back from a big night out...

George - have never heard of the saliva thing either. will take a look at the site though. let us know how you get on with it.

polly - like others have said lovely story. fingers crossed for you.

bella - LOL! put that dvd on now. am doing my yoga video, i guess the good thing is that there are 8 ten minute work outs so I can just do a little or a lot. I am going to try and do yogalates again, it is dull but it is also bloody hard work so must be good for me, right?

dq - will take a look at the site

How do you manage to do all that??!! It must take you ages. Got the saliva thing because it looked really easy & quick and I don't like having to get up any earlier in the morning (watch me change over the next few weeks!)
Going to try to put the link in below for it...
If this works here is the link to the saliva thingy!

If anyone has seen any ferning, if it does actually exist, please let me know....

glad to have you with us george

saliva monitor is the ONLY thing i haven't done yet - i thought i would keep it simple - so just do temping, persona fertility monitor, OPK's and EWCM checks

hey where did you get it from and how much? think i fancy a bit of ferning!
