The Grapefruit drinking knicker checking ttc brigade

Ooooo Yellowflowers - all sounds good for you sweetie I think FF is great too. I know you're right about the testing - will try to resist

Heeby glad you're staying

Queenie No more spotting to report. No more since lunch time yesterday. I'm just trying to keep busy and not stress about it (yeah right! ) what will be will be. However, if AF doesn't rear her unwelcome head by tomorrow then I may well do a test. I will be 10 dpo. Do you think that will be too early?

Just to add to what everyone else has said Heeby, even though I've only been on this thread for a few days I find it very inspiring to know of your success post MC so do stay around! As someone said before, you are now the grapefruit mascot!!

Pezzina - how are you getting on today?

C1ndy - the two week wait is so slow isn't it....I'm now certain I've ov'd as EWCM has cleared up completely. Have movements and twinges down there already and even though probably only 2dpo I'm beginning to wonder! (Last night, for example, I was convinced we'd done it this month). Silly, silly me...!

plus ... i posted a couple of times on the july thread and no one acknowledged my existance despite asking questions. humph.

I'll stay here where it's warm and cosy and full of lovely ladies!

Aahhhhhhh! thank you guys, i'm honestly touched and feel very welcome, thank you. It's strange cos i feel in a sort of limbo, i don't want to start shouting about it yet but at the same time feel bad for talking about it on here when you guys are still waiting, mind you, that said, i wanted the BFP'ers to stay when i was still trying so maybe as long as i don't go on and on i'll hang around until you kick me off! (plus i can tell you all about the horrible feelings of nausea i have from the minute i wake to about 8pm - lovely!)

jools i have a lot of love and respect for you, i hope you can jump back on that band wagon soon and feel as much as back to normal as you can - had to giggle about the night out, has been a long time since i got silly drunk!

smiley where do you live then if you are coming back to the UK? I still find it exciting and amazing that people from around the world can talk in the same place - i know sad huh. Wow did you hear about the telephone being invented heeby ..... yes ok i'm a little in the dark ages still!

c1ndy when is you AF due date? the twinges could be good news?

So where is everyone at? i have lost track of who is testing soon, is the list up to date?

lots of love to you all and thank you so much, i felt really sad when i thought i'd have to leave here!

Howdy everyone!! hope you are all well.

I'm just twiddling my fingers and well thinking am I ... am I not... goush this is the hard part, forget the pinning DH down to do a bd!

I have a couple of pg tests lying around and couldn't resist testing... I know .. I know... yes, it was negative but I think I am getting used to doing the weeing on a stick routine, so thought why not. I think after I get pg I may need to go on a Peeing on a Stick Anonymous course!

Guess this two week wait is going to be very slow.

Had a few twinges bit like a period pain yesterday but it could be the spog bol i had yesterday afternoon!!

Speak to you all soon
Cindy

Heeby - just look at me - posting on our thread in antenatal when I'm not PG and posting in here even though the MC is too recent for me to TTC !

just stay where you are comfortable and feel supported - and I bet that is in here

I went out and got very very drunk last night for the first time in months My head and stomach are really not speaking to me this morning. It felt good at the time, but I don't think I'll do it again anytime soon - can't cope with the hangovers !!

heeby i command you to stay!!!
you are our mascot -now i gotta go i have some celebrating to do

Don't go without me Heeby, I'll try not to be too long !

Have a fab time, those of you jetting off to exciting places.

pezzina - it's not over until the old witch flashes her draws, fingers crossed that it's implantation.

Heeby dont go, you keep us sane that all the ttc gets a pg in the end

Yes heeby I second what VillageMum has said - you're more then welcome to hang around. Its lovely to have your input and support and to hear how your pregnancy is progressing.

VillageMum I'm so glad you're back TTC - It sounds as though you've got all angles covered

Thanks pinkie! Yes I should add that I have bought the grapefruit juice! You're right: life has become odd with all the weeing on sticks and pinging thermometers at dawn (or it feels like dawn on these dark winter mornings - would give up BBT with a glad cry once pregnant!)

Heeby, you're so welcome to hang around here; you're a real sign of hope for me, proof that there can be pg after mc - and a successful one too, as I'm sure yours will be! Hope the pg hormones aren't too bad at the mo; the early scan will be very reassuring I'm sure, and then you'll feel great!

Smileycat yes, bring your woolies - we're due "arctic conditions" this weekend.

pezz wish I was going somewhere for a suntan its back to UK for the wkend, believe there lots of snow/cold stuff coming over the wkend burrrrr!!! its still 18 C here at the moment although v windy today but warm out of the wind

pezzina i think it sounds far too unlikely that it is AF, it's too early and without the cramps and with a high temp the odds are in your favour! good luck tomorrow but i think it's a good sign.

wananbe thanks hun, not had scan yet, seeing Dr tomorrow and will ask for an early one.

I feel a bit lost at the moment, i dont really fit in on the ante-natal threads and nelix and sparky are off enjoying pregnancy i think so i feel like i don't have a home , so it is lovely to be able to stay here with you lovely ladies.

Happy birthday ladies by the way, and for those of you jetting of somewhere sunny have a lovely time!

xx

Hi Village

Now your fun can begin, welcome to ttcing.

I am using OPKs and am patiently waiting for a +ive. and drinking loads of grapefruit juice. (of course)

I always think its a weird one, we wait for a +ive on one type of stick thinking well where is it, am i ever going to get the +ive. Then we spend another 2weeks waiting for that ever elusive BFP. is there something odd about that

Pezzina, well it all sounds promising if you ask me! Twinges but no cramps, high temp... I'd be cautiously optimistic if I were you, especially if there's been no more spotting since. x

Cindy, yes, I'm so relieved and glad to be at this point I can't tell you!! I've been temping since my mc so have got the hang of it now. I also use OPKs and am getting better at recognising CM. I have a long cycle (33 days with ov on cd18/19) but will definitely use the DP just in case something's different this month - that plan seems to cover all the bases! Wishing you patience and calm and endless strength to resist symptom spotting during the 2WW!!

VillageMum welcome to the ttc stage!! what methods are you going to use... OPK, temp, CM, DP.

I have used CM, OPK and DP (well made up the plan as I went along!)

I am finally on my 2ww and we not sympton spot until next week....

Smileycat have a wonderful holiday - bring us back some sun

Hi everyone ? thanks for your messages of support. Have just been for a nice long walk in my lunch hour and feel a bit better.

VillageMum ? it has taken me by surprise ? I haven?t really had the usual cramping I get before AF ? I have had some twinges but not the same feeling as cramps. I do usually have a couple of days spotting before AF but not until day 10 or 11 dpo.

Will just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings. My temp was still nice and high this morning ? so I guess there is still a bit of hope.

Spats ? would love to go and cry and shout in the loos but I think the whole office would hear me and I would be very I exclaimed loudly ?oh no, I don?t believe it!? when I discovered the pink cm and then realised there was someone else in the toilets who then asked if I was ok ? so I think I?ll just keep my head down for the rest of the day

Yellowflowers ? bleeding gums are a good sign are they not?

I hope everyone else is having a good day xx

PS. Happy birthday Funtime and Whitebeaches

Pezzina 8dpo does sound early..take it as a positive sign until the witch arrives in full...fingers crossed for you that she wont
