So, I thought I'd take it upon myself to kickstart the new thread. As the title suggests, this is a wonderful home full of the bravest, funniest and most inspirational women on Mumsnet, who are always ready to lend an ear and a virtual glass of wine.

The new thread is kicked off with 3 bfps in 3 days, so here's to more love and luck along the way

Oh and whoop whoop whoop on the job! Fab news.

Boob status: Still kind of sore. I feel like I've been for a run with no sports bra. It's like a constant tenderness and heavyness.

Other non-symptoms: Beaucoup de mid-afternoon yawning. Between 3pm and 4pm seems to be my weak spot.

No spotting. No twinges. No rogue CM.

I'm really really fecking bored of this 2WW. It's fecking tedious.

Alba I nearly cried when I read your message about how you nearly cried when you read mine! Does that make any sense?

Thanks to all of you for all your good wishes, it really does mean a lot to me. Life after MC was a very dark lonely place, and you've helped me feel like life can be a whole lot sunnier.

Cheepz · 27/04/2010 17:24

ooooh my insider at the company I inteviewed with just texted to say that they have got an offer approved internally - package and so on, so the guy who interviewed me might call today?! or maybe tomorrow depending on how busy he is... eeeek

sorry for totally no ttc related update hey cheepz dontcha know this thread is about babymaking, less of your life beyond ttc chit chat

viv looking for some sore boobs - or at least tingly ones, and maybe some implantation spotting roundabout now? come onnnn theres got to be some little symptoms there somewhere ooh ooh I have a craving for dark chocolate maybe I am upbuffed ... whoops forgot I havent had sex for about 3 months

ladies at the top of the list any more for anymore = don't be shy now lets have some testing action!!

clareanna · 27/04/2010 14:13

lucy just popped on quickly - would be worth checking with a doc/pharmacist before taking agnus castus to check it isn't contra-indicated for metaformin, herbal meds can interfere with conventional meds, so if you're on conventional medication it's better to be safe!

Freezingmyarseoff · 27/04/2010 13:54

Wow, I can hardly keep up with BFPs yay to Bunny and lol at the magic wabit sorting out Pretty's craptop

all this good news has got me dancing round the room

digitalgirl · 27/04/2010 13:41

Oh wow, Bunny too, how wonderful!

It really is so good seeing so many of you get pregnant again. Gives the rest of us hope.

After having a little think about yesterday's findings I've decided to give up alcohol and caffeine completely (was nearly there anyway). I'm going to start eating healthier. No more biscuits and will limit my chocolate intake. Will attempt low GI insofar as no more white bread, mash and chips. Can anyone recommend a good Low GI book?

I know none of these things would necessarily prevent a MC, but I want to make sure I'm as healthy and balanced as possible so that I know I've done as much as I can.

I'm quite keen to balance my hormones and regulate my cycles and bring them down to less than 37 days. Has anyone ever taken Evening Primrose? It mentions it in the Zita West book as something you can take in the first half of your cycle.

Once everything's a bit more settled in the Digi-House we're going to follow Sparkly's tried and tested method of lots of SWI. I'm a CM/CP watcher too. And if we manage to get co-sleeping DS out of our bed and into my mum's I might even try temping.

Magic8ballhastheanswers · 27/04/2010 13:30

Well done Bunny! Sparkly too as I can't remember if I congratulated you! This is great news ladies! So pleased for you all and wishing you all an very uneventful 8 & a bit months!

RIGHT, best get a jog on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done Cheepz for list cleaning - lovely to see baby names up there

Have a lovely sunny day ladies!!!!! xxx

BunnyBaby · 27/04/2010 13:18

Awwww thanks everyone! Still can't believe it as first two post mc cycles were really screwy and this is the only normal one.

Cheepz good listings, and so lovely to see baby names too! It all makes the successes all the more real.

Am taking it very easy. Forgot as I ran up steps at tube to avoid missing train. But remembered when on crowded train and asked able chap to give up seat. Was way to polite last time, but this time, I'm not doing it for me, someone far more important to take care of.

Pretty sorry to hear Magic disk did not work in craptop. Could send round Magic Wabit, but she would make things worse by eating your cables and trying to dig a hole in the carpet.

BUnderTheBonnet · 27/04/2010 12:26

Hurrah!!!! runs round in dizzy excited circles well done Bunny! The thread's gone mad, in a good way!

Gi1da · 27/04/2010 11:19

Oh heavens! Bunny and Margie so delighted for you! Congratulations!

Such a fab run of differdom - well we ain't givin up till everyone's a winner!

Alba that's it, come on down!- might as well be positive!

Lovely Cheepz helloo! Any news on the job? Are they offering you something so fab it's almost embarrassing?

Big Mexican wave for MrsPretty - well, me at my desk lifting keys, notepad, pen, mobile, cup and mouse in order whilst doing a cheer.

Oh, for the list, I happened to notice that Icedlemon is on another thread and on a new cycle. I think you may as well take her off too. Well done you Cheepz for list cleaning. It always offended my sense of geekiness to see people languishing at the top when MIA. There would we be, faithfully counting their cycle days into the thousands when actually they've wandered off, had twins and are blissfully unaware!

Unbuffy · 27/04/2010 10:57

Can I just point out something: NINE BFPS SO FAR THIS MONTH. Gotta be 10 ladies, who's next for the babychair?

Lots of love

xx

Cheepz · 27/04/2010 10:48

List cleaning - still can't get on network, tech guys are working on it, have taken off Tigerbear, Limelight and Liaghen because they were over 45 days and not actively posting for a while, can put back on if reappear

Have added babies to the grads list because its good to see end results! Not all the grads are posting so there will be some gaps

am definitely procrastinating in work avoidance mode!!

Margie, I nearly cried when I read your post, so happy for you, after all you've been through recently it's so lovely to hear happy news from you.

And Bunny too, yay!

Let's keep it going, we'll all move down to the grads...

Talking of which, I've moved myself down, to make it more real. And to try to be positive, not anxious about it. We're not telling anyone in RL, so I feel like it hasn't happened, but the bells and whistles test this morning quite clearly said 'pregnant 2-3'

Where are tigerbear, limelight, Liahgen and Urd? Hiding away with good news??

lucysnowe · 27/04/2010 09:59

Congrats bunny and margie!

Funny how these bfps are making me feel better.

I am going to buy some agnus castus today and speak to the doc next week about going back onto metformin. The only problem is that the lovely gp who initially prescribed it for me has left the practice, and the other docs might want me to hold off until things settle down... besides last time I did conceive without it. Meantime still no RTD so am looking out to see if maybe I ovulate 'again'. Fingers crossed.

PrettyVacant1 · 27/04/2010 09:15

Yeah Bunny how fab!
Stick around for as long as you like.

Crap top still fooked.
Magic disk wasn't that magic after all.
I may have to tidy the house

Cheepz · 27/04/2010 09:06

bunny and margie big congrats to you both and heres hoping for uneventful 9 months!

working from home today but having connection problems so hoping the support desk will call back and sort it out

nice to not have to get suited and booted every once in a while and determined not to just head out to shops and blow some budget and sit and drink coffee in starbucks!

hope all doing well today, breakfast time for me...

Wow another! Congrats Bunny now give me that cair to sit on..

BunnyBaby · 27/04/2010 06:20

Caved in first thing this morning as fruit tastes bitter yesterday and need to pee a lot, even at night. A BFP on the CBD saying 4-5 weeks! Yay!

May or may not go to grads before 12 weeks, though will not loiter here, just keep up with you all and all the imminent BFP's. Got a bit upset last time on the ante natal threads with all the early losses, so may be easier to avoid. Especially as I found DS2 had died days before at that scan.

Happy to vacate my chair, so it can be sat on as lots of baby dust around at the moment and very contagious xxxx

PrettyVacant1 · 26/04/2010 23:18

I'm not keen on fairies either!

Arse iPod is low on battery and won't open all the links properly.

Grrrr, pooters really are snidey electronic barstewards.
They hate me I tells ya.

I got enough to see scarey faries on squiddles.
I like Red ones too, I knew there was something going on!
I live very close to a Red Squiddle colony and the Grey squirrels faries are chasing them under cars and eating all the nuts so they have to move away.

Faries are bad.
They bite!

Excellent exibition WYG
I'll have a proper look tomorrow x
