Hi loola, welcome!

Same as me, TTC#3, MC #1.

Had no idea how horrible MC was until it happened to me!

Helloo all, dc are going to gp's for tea (yayayayay) so I get to spend the whole evening sorting out the junk room office, lucky me.

OMG at Mamap's friend, how fricking insensitive can you get? I know for a fact on of my friends is pg (I guessed and quizzed a mutual friend) but she hasn't told me yet out of respect which is extremely lovely of her as you EXPECT friends to be.

PFF owls at the holiday booking, I'd love to do the same but my credit card would be very angry with me, not to mention dh

Nicks best get roller blading in those TWs girlfriiiend

velvet grrrr to year 9s, hope today was better with the little -shits-- dears

MA at loads of swi, actually quite fancy one now anyway even without the i. I'm deffo feeling better all round, and went back to the gym today which has helped too.

sfb Izzy I am with you on the ttc number 3 and struggling with how I'm feeling sometimes, a lot of me thinks I'm so very selfish too.

To myself and all those waiting for wtf cycle to be normal again I'm sending us regular vibes

Oh yeah and its a new moon today...fresh new cycle fresh new start...

x posted so Hi to loola, same as me too. Sorry that you're here but welcome

please stop passing chocolate

Sorry Hope you're better soon SFB

Me too!

Although am feeling slowly better, bloody hope so as I go away on Friday for a week in Center Parcs, which will NOT be excellent as I am still bleeding post-op and so I will just get to watch everyone else enjoying the pool.

I am preparing the case for a pedicure instead.

Mmmm Chocolate, don't mind if I do

Thanks for the welcomes SFB & BOA its nice to know people in the same situation (although would be nicer if none of us were in it in the 1st place!)

Hope you feel better soon SFB A bug's all you need on top of everything

BOA Good luck with the office sorting! :)

And a massage and a facial and....do it!

SFB hope you feel better soon, do treat yourself to anything nice available on your hols. Hope you get to enjoy the pool at some point, perhaps in the last couple of days?

I should not have gone out on a school night yesterday. Am exhausted now! Was worth it for nice brazilian style dinner though.

yrmotb and owl Yep, that's pretty much how I felt when MIL said it It's definitely better than the conservatory incident

pff The dog still has the collar on. Unfortunately, although it means she can't chew the scar, the other dachshund keep licking it for her, so it's not really working very well! Back to the vet for a check up on Friday.

loola welcome. Sorry to hear about your mc.

mummyabroad Glad your drought is over and hope the SWI works :) Not sure Costa Rica would be a bad place to be right now - even the rain can't be as bad as the rain we had this afternoon!

velvet I hope you've had a better day today.

everyone else - I hope you've all had a good day. Good luck to all SWI or on TWW and there's a big comfy shoulder here to cry on if you're having a bad day. No fish though...

mamap your 'friend' sounds really insensitive. echo what everyone else has said

sfb hope you feel better soon

BOA Yay for getting rid of DC for evening! Not yay for needing to do housework :(

Greetings from India!
Caught up a lot yesterday but was too tired to post, am supposed to be heading to bed now, but just wanted to drop a line to Sarahmia, I was really sorry to read your news, it's so devastating and must be additionally confusing and difficult to cope with to have the triploidy issue. I hope these days are passing with lots of love, sympathy and support. I'm really really sorry you're going through this.

Am here for work, and it's been crazy busy - only managed to see something other than our office and my hotel tonight when I decided to go shopping, then got caught in torrential rain and then experienced the joys of Delhi rush traffic.

The commonwealth games are here next month apparently. To prepare the city appears to have dug up most of the roads, just in time for the rains to wash them away. I'm not entirely convinced that even if construction of the venues completes on time, that any athletes will be able to get to them!

I packed my CBFM and have been attempting to test but it's impossible to do it with FMU (would be crossing my legs until 10-11 in the morning...) and so far I haven't registered any peaks, despite some quite promising looking EWCM. So..either...flying and time-zone changes have meant hormones are getting screwed and I'm not ovulating at normal time, or, I am ovulating, but the CBFM isn't going to pick it up because of the less-than-optimal test conditions.
I'm sort of crossing fingers for 'not ovulated yet', as hopefully that means I've got a chance when I get home again.

One small fly in this ointment, I'm going to run out of test sticks before I fly home again, assuming CBFM is going to keep asking for them if it doesn't see a peak. I decided to try finding them in my shopping expedition - one good thing about being in different country is the lack of shame. Even in a fairly conservative country like Delhi, the assistants in the pharmacy that I found had no problem with shouting loudly to each other across the floor 'OVULATION kit? OVULATION sticks? no no, try next door, no OVULATION KIT'. Can you imagine that happening in boots?

Delhi isn't a country. Oh you know what I meant.

welcome loola sorry you are here too. its a good place to be tho (my cat is called loola and she has a stinky bum, is a right little madam - i am sure you arent similar!)

Hey bee hope you get to see something other than your hotel and offices, and dont get washed away! Im hoping for no ov just at the min for you!

BOA i think you deserve a hoofing glas de vin rouge rather than sorting out the junk!

SFB sorry you feel rubbish!

waves to dachs izzy kat owlie
mummya looking forward to hearing your stories
mamap have you come out from under the duvet yet? Hope you feeling ok - time for another shopping spree if the CC will cope!
BOA tightie whities def.... have a doc apt next fri for a smear and an internal just in case!
YROMTB sisters keeper, fab book! Film is diff tho. Wasnt convinced with cameron diaz as the mum - and the ending ruined a fab story! [anger] i did however still SOB

Mm buying a CBFM very soon although the website says wait 2 cycles after MC to test it - has everyone else done that or shouldnt i bother waiting. My BFN came last wk.

PS - anyone i have missed in this truly MA-HOOSIVE 'fred - Soz chops!

Fondant how could i forget you?!?!?! Hope you are too feeling a bit better

nickstermum I started with my CBFM this cycle (ie 1st cycle after WTF), didn't wait the two months. You might have gathered from thread that I've struggled to get any sense out of it (6 days of low, followed by 13(!) high and 1 more low but no peaks). Could be that cycle is still messed up post-mc, or (hopefully) that it's just getting to know me and would gave been like that the first month anyway. I just wanted to feel like I was doing something practical to boost our chances, so I guess it works for me on a psychological level anyhow.

ladybee hope you're enjoying Delhi, am v jealous even through rain and disappearing roads, we did a round the world trip after uni but didn't manage to fit India in - always wanted to go though. Hope you manage to find some OV sticks and that OV has the good grace to wait until you get home.

loola -welcome, sorry you're here but you'll find done great support and hopefully will be moving onto the grads thread before you know it

sfb sorry you're feeling crap. Hope you feel better soon

We had DD's best friend over this afternoon after school (still on half days). Best friend has just started at DS's old school, and was all dressed up in the little uniform, which was lovely but a big reminder that DD should have been going there (DD didn't get in and would have been about 13th on a waiting list for an intake of 30, hence when this came out in March we ended up moving poor DS to the school DD could get into). I do like the new school, but it just seems that nothing this year has gone to plan and it's all been particularly tough on the DCs - first DS having to move schools and DD having to go to a school without all her friends, then having to tell them the baby had died when they were so excited about it...sometimes I wonder if we could have done anything differently to make things less stressful for them, but I'm not sure what.

Anyway enough of the rambling

Hello all,
Wow the thread certainly does move at a pace! Welcome loola, I'm sorry you find yourself here. I only joined a few days ago but I hope you find it as much of a giggle, diversion and comfort as I have. There is a glorious abundance of fish, chocolate and most importantly wine flying around!
I hope you got your ov sticks ladybee and that your hormones (i.e. not ovulating) and India's weather cooperate to ensure you enjoy yourself while there. I haven't been to Delhi but did do a trip a few years back that included Kerala (beautiful), Goa and Mumbai. It's a place of extremes and certainly makes you question things but I loved it.
I went to visit a friend whose DD was born around the time my preg no 2 should have been (July), so it was lovely to see them but it's always a mixed bag of emotions isn't it and I do find it a bit tough, but am determined to work through it as she has been a really good friend and helped a lot in my darkest days. Our DSs bashing each other over the head with toy helicopters was a surprising godsend as it meant there was something else I needed to concentrate on!
Rambling post while waiting for my pizza
Have a good morning/afternoon/evening, wherever you are! x

Just awoken from a long sleep and feel much better. Bloody hope I will have ovulated soon though, as I dont think I can keep all this shagging up for much longer (fun as it is) Feeling oooooooooold!

Thanks for everyones cheerleading and general positive vibes

Nickerstermum and everyone considering clearview, I was too for the same reasons (want to do something active to help process along) but now I am 8 weeks into my WTF cycle, I am feeling quite good about the cervix checking/CM checking/temperature taking tactics, oh yeah, plus cheapie OV sticks. It seems to be working for me. I did checking cervix everyday until I felt a change, and then two ov sticks a day, morning and afternoon. I did the maths and even if I did two ov sticks a day for the whole month its still gonna be way cheaper than clearview.

I have forgotton who put up the cervix checking tutorial (owlshoes?), but THANK YOU!! Its paying off (hope I dont have to eat my words in a couple of days if I have got this all wrong though....)

loola Hello again, glad you found us, I hope you get the support you need on this thread (and some giggles) xxx

shitforbrains Sorry you are feeling rough, that is thoroughly undeserved right off the back of an ERPC. Get well soon.

Izzy It sucks when you feel nothing has gone to plan Lets hope for all of us that this "off plan" thing is a temporary blip and we will all look back and see that it worked out better in the end than we could ever have imagined.

enjoy Delhi LadyB! and good luck on your ov stick hunt!

Big wave to all the lovely ladies on this thread! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks MA - keep up the good work!

Am keeping my fx for choccybick and anyone else planning to POAS tomorrow...

have thought the same about cbfm - going to wait at least a month more. This cycle will just use cheapie ov tests. Might help me not to obsess so much but don't think I will hold out that much longer against the lure of clearblue! Does seem ridiculously pricey though.

ladybee hope you are having a lovely trip!

velvet hope you kick the year 9 into touch soon. I don't miss teaching year 9. Year 8 are the oldest in our school but after xmas they even start getting year 9ish in their attitudes!

izzy sounds like your kids have had a tough time too. All this school admissions stuff seems like a silly unfair system. I thought if you had a sibling in a school the younger ones would have priority? Glad you like the new school though. Hope it ends up ok.

kat - not wishing to get into faith school debate, and am well aware it's partly my own fault: DS was at local Catholic school. I am Catholic, but a relatively recent convert, and DCs were both christened CofE as tiny babies, so although they come to Mass with me every week, aren't actually RC. New parish priest came along a couple of years ago and revised admission criteria so non-Catholic siblings got pushed right down the list. DD had no chance.

Our second choice school was the local non-faith school just round the corner, about 5 mins walk and even closer than DS's old school, but didn't get that either, down to pure numbers. The school we did get (our third choice) is lovely, but is 2.5 miles away and we have to drive past schools 1 and 2 to get there, which is more than slightly irritating!

Rant over - that's a whole other thread (literally)

jamface - that must have been tough ((hugs)) Hope the pizza made you feel a bit better.

Can't help feeling we should be hearing news from some of those at the top of the list about now...?

Yeah surely it must be getting to POAS time for some of them? Fingers firmly crossed for some BFP news withing the week!

Hello all wave been staying away in an attempt to avoid getting all obsessed and strung out .... hope you're all well.

got a peak on the CBFM today, presume will ovulate soon, have had lovely acupuncture last night, so am casually SWI'ing but will not be POAS (preg test) unless period is not on time (get the fish ready ladies!)

In positive news, colleague brought most adorable baby in today - she has changed so much since born in April! gorgeous mum and gorgeous baby, and I almost stalked them around the building! LOL
