Please don't be offended if you're not named, you're still welcome, I just have a rubbish memory. I can see a couple of you on November thread but there's a whole load of people not there. Just wondering if you wanted a little thread to keep in touch?

Headfairy - just replied to you on grapefruit thread. So sorry about your sad news. Was hoping a new thread might provide you with support from old friends.

And Sunnydale, I know you're wary of new threads, so though you might also like the company of old friends.

Wishing and Bubble having your weird long cycles and missing whole month's threads, thought this might be one for you too.

So what do you say? I'll start a list just in case:

Issy, ttc#1, cycle 14, ucl 28ish, cd 23/10dpo, mc Mar08, cp Sep08, IVF in April.

HI, I was on the August thread. I find it so depressing having to jump from one thread to the next each cycle, and cos I have such long ones (42 days last time!) I keep having to miss one out, which is even more depressing. So if I promise not to obsess about TTC can i join you guys here?
Headfairy sorry to hear about your MC, i like your list, although how will you not even tell DH!? mine would kill me! Can you just take yourself along to the EPU, mine were so brilliant when I had my MC that I feel like you that I would want to go to get the reassurance but thought I would need a referral?
Issy such good news about the IVF. Fingers etc. all crossed for you

Hi ilove.... welcome. Remember now, the rules are no discussing ttc

Hope the spotting stops soon.

I hate ttc too, not the act of it of course, but all the other crap that goes with, hence my avoidance of any analysis of anything I'm feeling. If I find myself wondering "what was that little twinge?" I slap myself around the face

Hi all

Can I join you? I was on the Sept thread.

I got pregnant 1st cycle in Sept, mc at 6 wks and it happened again in dec at 6 wks.

Wish I could do some cycle ignoring but I find it impossible.

Don;'t know what is going on today - tiniest bit of brown blood today (CD32 off 34 day cycle) but seems to have gone. Am driving myself mad with hope that it is implantation bleed but trying to work myself up to accepting af.

I officially HATE ttc now

I can see how frustrating that might be... hopefully the time will fly by. When you're counting days time seems to draaaag so long, so now you're not really counting maybe they'll fly by!

I'm sure dh will guess before I got to 12 weeks esp as he'll miss his monthly shagathon

Hehehe Headfairy. I had to log on to ff to see what cycle day I was on as I'm only temping around ov and just before AF due. It's so liberating isn't it? I did remember that AF due Wed though, partly because I have a scan on day 2-5. Your plan sounds good, though not sure dh would forgive you if you didn't tell him until 12 weeks .

I'm really frustrated at having to wait - feels like such a long way away. It's just bad timing because they were closed over Christmas, which created a waiting list for Jan and Feb. They count me starting in Mar but you don't do anything until day 20 for treatment next cycle, so April really. Meantime I'm following the couch to 5K running programme to get fit before treatment as it's meant to help and the drugs can cause weight gain (hopefully just bloating).

Aw, bless you for starting this issy...

I'm happy to say I have no idea what cd I'm on, not counting, did bd at roughly the right time but I'm not even going to count from here on in.

I've made a few decisions about what happens next time I get pg...

I will not join any "I'm hoping for a June/July/August baby" etc threads (this thread is an exception )

I won't test until I'm two weeks late at least (that will of course be approximate as I'm not counting days)

I will do nothing until I get to about 7 weeks and then I will take myself to the EPU for a scan. I'm doing nothing until I see a heartbeat.

If I see a heartbeat at about 7 weeks, I may trot along to the docs about a week later. Definitely not before.

I won't tell anyone, possibly not even dh (unless he notices) until 12 weeks.

I will not join any ante natal threads until at least 12 weeks.

I will not deviate one bit from from my plan.

How exciting for you Issy to start your IVF in April. I bet you're raring to get started.

I hope the others join us on this thread for a bit of cycle ignoring Definitely no symptom spotting here
