Well ladies, its about time we had a new thread, the old one is getting very long. Plus I think we need another fresh start, with lots of positive babydust:

Get a big handful girls, i think we all need it.
I was trying to think of something great and positive to put, but this TTC lark is getting us all down, i'm fed up of trying, but we will all succeed eventually, our times will come.

It will be much better for our little ones to have a good start when our bodies are truly ready to carry them.

Will be GLAD when its all over - not a LAD!!!! lol!!

baggybear · 18/08/2005 22:29

Thanks diddle. Got a scan tomorrow morning to make sure everything has "come away", and then blood test in afternoon. Going away on Saturday, so will get results when I get back. Then I will have to have a repeat test in about 3 weeks time. SIGH - will be lad when all this is over

Mojo - glad you are feeling"okay" and pleased for you that DH is home tomorrow. Hope you're taking care and getting lots of rest. Lots of {{{hugs}}} xxx

Diddle · 18/08/2005 22:23

maddyd - big smiles at the thought of you and me trying to stop each other testing to early, we have to be the worst people at waiting. I remember a couple of months ago we both posted on here saying "well still" waiting, then confessed days later that we had been testing all along in secret How are you feeling? is the pain easing?

welcome mojomummy glad you came to join us. I spent all the time searching the net for answers too, and you're right they're aren't any. But we'll all get there.

spub - you lucky devil, bd is out for us tonight. DH is snoring on the sofa already , but it means i can chat without getting moaned at.

baggybear - hope tomorrow is easier than the last few days and you manage to sort out the hospital/doctors. Good luck with the blood test, I presume you'll have to wait to hear the results for a few days.

Mojo-
Sorry you are having a bad time. I lost at 7 weeks and "fortunately" didn't retain anything so didn't need any further intervention. It took 6 weeks for AF to come back. Now on month 2 ttc and am using the clearblue digital OPK which gave me a smile yesterday so have been bd'ing for GB!
We are all impatient so know how it is.
Hope you get some big hugs and love from your dh when he gets back tomorrow.

Mojomummy · 18/08/2005 20:58

I'm doing ok. I just can't believe that 4 days ago I was nearly 8 weeks pregnant & so pleased & now it's all over

The hospital were really nice to mean, which made things easier as DH had just gone away on a business trip (he's coming back tomorrow am

I keep searching the web for answers, but of course there aren't any. Although I was nearly 8 weeks, the scan measured at 5 weeks,so perhaps my eggs aren't up to it... I'm concerned that age just isn't on my side anymore. Then I remember Madonna etc who are older..

Has anyone who's had a recent ERCP used ovo kits ? I used Persona before to find fertile days, which worked very well, but you need to have a proper period & I'm too impatient to wait

Will try not to be obessive, but unfortunately that's the way I am

spub · 18/08/2005 20:26

Aw, shucks. I can feel a big virtual group hug coming on....

baggybear · 18/08/2005 20:14

Hi Mojo!! How you doing? Glad you have popped onto this thread. They are all great. All the MNers on here have helped me A LOT.

spub · 18/08/2005 19:17

Hi to all and wecome to mojo.
Just off for a qick bd!! hope that's not tmi!!!!

HumphreysCorner · 18/08/2005 17:43

Mojomummy-welcome, welcome. Feel free to talk about anything and guaranteed we will all listen. So sorry to hear about your MC

(((xxx)))

maddyd · 18/08/2005 16:59

Mojomummy, so sorry to hear of your miscarriage, i was watching your thread and felt sad immensley for you. This is a great support thread. Welcome

Mojomummy · 18/08/2005 16:48

Hi , just been invited over by Diddle

Just off to Asda then will read all about you girls

maddyd · 18/08/2005 16:42

Hey diddle we must be having our af's at the same time, with mine been early and yours being late. Im due in one week too which is cool as we can try and stop each other from testing early.

baggybear · 18/08/2005 16:40

I'm having a bloodtest tomorrow, nicmum2boys, to see if there are antibodies in my blood. I will have to have another test in about 3 weeks time. If they are both neg then all is well, but if both or one are pos then any future pregnancy will have to be closely monitored.

I was going to ring hosp today to complain, but not having such a good day and couldn't gee myself up to do it. Tomorrow, I promise...

nicmum2boys · 18/08/2005 16:35

Hi everyone, hope you are all getting a chance to enjoy the sunshine . I've been feeling really tired the last 2 days, in fact today I even fell asleep on the sofa when DS2 had his nap, also still feeling quite irrational and hormonal,just hoping it's for all the right reasons, rather than the more likely impending AF.
Have no idea what cd I'm on since last month I started bleeding at 6dpo (with one day spotting at 2dpo for good measure) and kept going for 13 days. I'm fairly sure I'm 6dpo though as I had all the right signs last friday. Very pleased not to be bleeding yet, hopefully means hormones are sorting themselves out, in that respect at least. Am not sure atall when to expect AF (hopefully 9 months lol), but if I get to 14dpo (next fri) I will test then.
Think I'll be in bed by 9 tonight, I'm sat here yawning my head off. DS1 has a friend for a sleepover tonight, so I'm not expecting to get a lay in in the morning! Must go and cook tea, try and catch up with you all later xx

Nearly forgot, Baggybear I would definately complain. Is there any way they can do a blood test to see if you've developed Rhesus antibodies, or is it a case of wait til you get pregnant and see what happens?

HumphreysCorner · 18/08/2005 14:14

petunia-as Diddle says, don't feel guilty as it will be our turn sooooooooooon.

Rants-come on AF-show your face as I'm ready for you!
xx

Diddle · 18/08/2005 11:37

good to hear from you petunia, don't feel guilty, you're very lucky and our luck will come in too.

Lurk for as long as you want, you know we're hear to support you, pregnant or not.

petunia · 18/08/2005 11:24

Morning all
HC- I'm still here! I'm just lurking!

I want to thank you all for all your "congratulations." I've got lots of conflicting emotions at the moment, one of which is huge guilt that we've only been trying for a month and I've got pg straight away. I second what Peepee said, with bding- every other night is what DH and I did, and I think it's what the experts say as well.

I've got to drop in at the Drs tomorrow to pick up a prescription, so I'll ask how to get in for a scan at the hospital at 8 weeks. With our surgery, you don't see a Dr anymore just book-in with the midwife around 9-10 weeks.

Anyway, I won't say "goodbye" (it'll be tempting fate as much as anything!) but I'll still be lurking to see how you all are.

Love to you all, Petunia.

Diddle · 18/08/2005 11:11

Hello,

lottielou - you at work yet, are you joining us???
Has anyone else tested today??? sure there was someone else who was.

Nothing to report here. 1 wk and a day until af is due. this time last month i started testing, just because i'm impatient, but i'm not testing now, i'm deterined to wait and not waste my money when Af turns up.

LunarSea · 18/08/2005 10:17

Congratulations to Petunia and Peepee, and welcome baggybear.

Don't know what's going on here. OPK says +ve, ferning test says +ve, and temp has gone down by 0.5C when it should be going up by that much. Talk about mixed signals. As the +ves are only one day after AF departed having hung around for 12 days this time, there's probably no chance this month anyway, even if they are right. If it's anything like a normal 2nd half of the cycle, I've only got about 8 days until she's back, so I might as well make the most of it I suppose.

HumphreysCorner · 18/08/2005 10:06

Morning ladies, phew it is warm today!

Have calmed down a little and am talking to DH more. He reckons he is going to tax his 250 bike(his 1st ever bike that he can't bear to part with and sits in the garage along with his 1st ever car so I can't get my car in there!) and use that so I don't think he is ever going to learn!

AF due today so have done one last test and not a thing showing so I will just wait for the cow's arrival and try again next month for a May baby.

peepee-I agree with your BD idea but this time me & DH BD every other night from the day AF finished for 14 days! Was exhausted! Hasn't worked though so don't know if to do the same next time. Suppose it can't hurt. Hope you are OK ((xx))

How is petunia today? ((xx))

baggybear-stick with it-it is the best thing when AF arrives but then seeing her more than once is not so good. ((xx))

Hugs also to wishingchair, Diddle, maddyd, CHOCOLATEPEANUT, nicmum2boys, Strike1, spub & Shelly24 and anyone else out there.

Bye for now and will check on you later.
xx

strike1 · 18/08/2005 08:09

Wow Baggybear, your a real abbrev pro! That's advanced usage now It's good to see everything is getting back on track for you bodywise. I was never so pleased to see my af in my life, she's always been erratic as I suffered from PCOS when I was younger, but fingers croseed all is working now, just need to prove it by getting pg! It's good to be able to be able to chat about cm with out friends getting up and leaving the room, I think my mates would have me committed if I started blabbing about mine in the pub but on here we can talk about (nearly!) anything. What a relief!

Have a lovely day all

baggybear · 17/08/2005 21:59

Awww, thanks strike1. Hope you enjoy your pizza

I'm feeling a little better tonight. It might be nothing and more to do with my recent M/C, but seem to have CM (see, I'm getting used to this now!!)today. Now, what would you think? I'm hoping this is a sign that i will be seeing AF in a couple of weeks. I'm not going to TTC again for a little while but it would be the first time in my life that I would be pleased to see AF. At least I would know everything is beginning to get back to normal. My cycle before M/C was always 28 days and ov about 10 to 14 days, so am always aware of CM. OOOOOOOO! I really hope this could be things starting to settle down. (In RL all this could be TMI, but I know I can chat to you all about it and not feel )

Oh and BTW, could I get anymore abbrevs in one post!!!!!

maddyd · 17/08/2005 20:39

Chocolatepeanut. I also confess to using ov sticks even when not bding. Also i have 4 tests ready for next month. Two cheapo e bay ones, one early predictor one and one digital. Also taking temps with kids ear theometer.

I also bought go ahead chocolate bars as my craving for chocolate is too bad.

peepee · 17/08/2005 19:45

I know I have never had a viable pregnancy but I have been pregnant quite a few times. I have never used any ov kit or taken my temperature. Perhaps just because I find it too hard to understand. (am a bit thick!)

Anyway for those of you who may be interested.....
this is what I did........

I had 3 clear days after AF and then for the next 7 days we were baby dancing twice a day, DH never complained. He was keener than me
IT WORKS! Save some money and try it....

GOOD LUCK. * *
