Wave to all. An away visiting bro sil and Bruce fir weekend. Will update when af arrives (although I am officially Kate as was dur today) but still bfn :)

Hope you all have fab weekends

getawiggleon · 27/08/2010 22:25

Yikes, thought I'd be able to keep up with new thread but am losing track already!

Izzy sorry you're feeling low It sounds like you and your sister could really do with each other at the moment, I hope you get to see her soon.

Grumpy Your friend sounds quite insensitive. I'd probs be keeping out of her way if I was you. Lots of newly expectant friends around here too. I'm relieved that none of them are due when I would've been though, that's tough - like you need another reminder! We're all invited to a wedding next month though so think I'll be getting shitfaced on my ownputting on a brave face.

MummyAb Welcome! We've chatted on another thread, thanks for your lovely posts. I hope you won't be here for long (in nicest sense). I'm WTTC at the mo too, still bleeding slightly after erpc but consultant told me then that he could see I was ovulating. No blinking idea what's going on and whether I'm waiting for af/ ov signs or something else altogether. Have you been ttc before af in wtf cycle?

Good luck to all those waiting to POAS this weekend. FX :)

Wine and waves to all

getawiggleon · 27/08/2010 22:37

Forgot to mention, I finally got BFN on POAS this morning (although my microscopic eye would certainly possibily have detected a v v faint line if I was ttc) Now if AF would just get a move on...

Tried acupunture for first time this morning too (anyone else got any exp of it?) and now decided would like to retrain as acupuncturist and set up own business in zen-like shed at bottom of garden Hmm

Also addicted to ff website. After entering a myriad of confusing info it has told me that I am pregnant/waiting to ov/clearly mad etc until it finally realised I had actually miscarried and offered me a cup of sugary tea and a biscuit. Bless.

MummyAbroad · 27/08/2010 22:38

Thanks for all the welcomes.

Getawiggleon, nice to see you again. Yes, I have been "cheating" as it were. (TTC in a WTF) I got told the same thing about ovulating by my gyne, I now keep replaying the phrase over and over again in my head. WHAT DOES IT MEAN INDEED? Was I literally releasing an egg in that moment? Or the next day? or what? Did it mean I definately did ovulate???!!! Going completely mad as its 16 days on, BFN and no AF.

Now I too am in the do I drink dilema (after happily telling Velvet too, easy to dish out advice to others, harder to take it myself!) AND I am going off to some bloody volcanic springs!!! Cant go in them if I am bleedin preggas can I ? aRRGGHHHH!
xxxxxxxx

PS I am reading the Part 4 thread. You are all very lovely ladies, and I must download Mistresses.

MamaPower · 27/08/2010 22:40

Hey girls, someone's been sharing her 3 a day secrets!! Over to you Knitter... mwahahahahahaha! Brilliant, I love ya for that!

littlemiss72 · 28/08/2010 11:31

Hi Ladies, been MIA for some time and just back from a 2 week holiday!

Bad news though, found out I was pregnant in the first week we were away after being over a week late only to MC on week 2. Sad Booked an appointment to see the doctor as I now need some answers as to what's going on!

Hope your all keeping well, nice to see viv & hen on the grads list Grin Well done girls! x

Apologies for not being up to speed, I'll try and catch up on all he gossip over the lovely long bank holiday weekend.

Won't pop myself on the list just yet as I have no idea of where I am just yet.

Happy weekend all x

DachshundsRule · 28/08/2010 13:05

having real trouble not web surfing today. brown spotting, AF due two days ago if it were a normal cycle and started the day of the mc, but obviously it's WTF so unpredictable.

OPK positive 13 days ago, all POAS are negative.

Therefore seems like it's a precursor to AF arriving 'cos surely it's too late for an implantation bleed. Didn't stop me looking up info online to convince myself it might be possible! Somebody haddock me!

sorry about your mc littlemiss hugs

How are you all today?

CaribouMoo · 28/08/2010 13:15

Ocht LittleMiss I'm sorry to hear that. How horrible to get your hopes up and dashed so quickly. Hope you're coping alright pal x

Dasch after my first ERPC I had a lot of the brown stuff, kind of mixed in with EWCM. Lovely, I know. I think it started about a week before RTD so even if its not good news for you this cycle at least you are nearing the end of the WTF.

Mummy whereabouts are you abroad? Somewhere nice?

I'm feeling rotten today, terrible cold, sore throat, aches etc. DH at work so trying my best to keep DD amused but I think there will be lots of telly watching today unfortunately.

Hope everyone else is having a nice weekend. Keeping my eye out for Loopy and PV for any news.

StickThemWithThePointyEnd · 28/08/2010 13:18

~waves~

DachshundsRule · 28/08/2010 13:19

Sorry you're feeling rough cmoo. Hope you feel better soon.

My snuffles are pretty bad today as well. Didn't have the anticipated row with DH last night though, and he's being really sweet today - currently he is out shopping (which he hates) looking for a warm snuggly nightie for me because i was too cold last night!

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 28/08/2010 13:27

littlemiss sorry you're back under the circumstances, hopefully it won't be for too long -Sad

dachs WTF can be...well, WTF, so could be precursor to AF or anything. Would be fab if it was implantation though...any idea if/when you ov'd?

caribou sorry you're feeling rough, hope you feel better soon!

As for me, have managed to abandon chores and school preparation juggle things arounanal on my way to visit parents and dsis, so feeling better about things today. Thanks all for the comfy sofa and several glasses of wine last night though!

Keeping fx for loopy and pv and anyone else testing this weekend.

DachshundsRule · 28/08/2010 13:33

izzy no idea when i ov'd - i assume about 24 - 48 hours after the opk, but not really sure as i wasn't checking signs. Not really thinking it could be implantation though, 99.99999999999999999999999999% sure it's precursor to AF, but as you say, it's called WTF for a reason!

I just wish the sodding thing would arrive quickly though so i can get on with the treatment.

Glad you enjoyed the sofa last night! Hope things go well with parents and dsis. Glad you're feeling a little better about things.

Good luck and baby dust to everyone.

Now, is it ok if we put the X Factor on the communal TV tonight? Otherwise I might have to vacate the sofa and take the wine with me ;)

Chocolatedays · 28/08/2010 13:49

Thanks DachundsRule for the prompt to find you all here (thought it was quiet!). Not sure it is helpful .. but my af has just started (end of WTF cycle) and it started v.slowly, however it was red rather than brown.... fingers crossed it is good news.

Hi all,
Enjoying reading your posts - seems like a very positive and supportive thread - thanks for the welcome.

Just wondering if anyone knows whether I can get over the counter progesterone supplements / creams /other?

Thanks
Choc

MummyAbroad · 28/08/2010 13:57

Caribou, I'm in Costa Rica. I live in San Jose, the capital, but I am off for a dirty weekend in the country this weekend. DS is getting shipped off to MIL's. - Its our first year wedding anniversary!

Well, I hope its a dirty weekend, lots more cramping, AF threatening to come... The only bikini I fit into is bloody white Confused, still BFN (no one has fish slapped me yet, so I am still testing, boob prodding, the lot)

Hope your luck is better than mine loopy and pv, FX for you.

Get well soon Cariboo and Daschs hugs xxx

PinkFondantFancy · 28/08/2010 14:07

dachs my first AF at end of WTF was brown spotting for a day, then nothing for a couple of days, then the usual red stuff. It was v crampy for days before spotting started tho so yours could be something diff- don't give up hope for ov bleed yet! Feel free to stick x factor on btw! I have bought communal m&s extremely chocolatly chocolate rolls especially for the occasion.

I hope you're all doing ok today. I'm off to a hen party next weekend so off shopping for neon clothes now!! Eek no clue where to get them, hope tk max or charity shop comes up trumps!!

Hi littlemiss v sorry to hear your story :(

owlshoes · 28/08/2010 15:54

Blinking heck, you lot. I spent 24 hours away entertaining PIL + stinky ancient dog and you managed to fill 3 pages!

Having now read the 3 pages I say:

Aw boo Digi hope you're back with us soon

PV and Loopy and others who are getting irrational BFNs WTF is going on there? Is there some sort of evil force at work? This is just arse. Grrr.

Mummyabroad Aha, you are the POAS-addict are you not? Pls feel free to point and laugh as I have spent the last two days peeing on OPK sticks as I felt peeing on something stick-like made me less anxious than not peeing on anything at all although clearly any 'results' that I might get at day 22 are likely to be junk anyway. I'm not even sure why I am doing it. Scientific interest? I used to enjoy Chemistry, that's my excuse Grin

Dachs if you know where the haddocks are I could do with one. I am getting weird pains in my middle and am completely sure they are actually imaginary, as last month I managed to imagine nausea.

~waves at Ivy ~ how are you getting on, my lovely?

Littlemiss sorry to hear your news :(

Aw Caribou here, you can share my Strepsils. I have been scoffing those in the hope my sore throat will not get worse, so far so good.

Hello to all the other lovely people in here :)

owlshoes · 28/08/2010 15:56
DachshundsRule · 28/08/2010 16:20

ooooh yum - thanks pff

sorry owl, i've lost track of the haddock. i put my own haddocking request earlier but nobody has yet slapped me. if it turns up I'll definitely grab it to give you a good fish slapping. (You too MA)

MA enjoy your dirty weekend!

chocdays sorry, I don't know - but good luck in your hunt!

Magic8ballhastheanswers · 28/08/2010 17:17

Hope you are all having a good weekend just popping into to say hi, but I feel proper Envy today plus have really sore back from sitting like a div MNetting the other night on craptop [div emotion]

Any news on Pretty and Loopy?????

Littlemiss I am sorry to hear your news big hugs xxx

Hope you feel better Moo Dacsh and owls x

X-Factor tonight Whoop whoop!

hairytriangle · 28/08/2010 18:53

Wave to all. An away visiting bro sil and Bruce fir weekend. Will update when af arrives (although I am officially Kate as was dur today) but still bfn :)

Doh. I'm really gonna stop using my iphone to post here.

Should have read:

"visiting bro, sil and neice for weekend. (although I am officially late as was due...)

deary me.

I've been helping with their new house, had a nice day, but still no AF.

hairytriangle · 28/08/2010 18:55

and obviously a :( at the bfn, rather than a :)

(looks for 'rolleyes' smiley)

nickstermum · 28/08/2010 19:42

Hello All,

waves

Blimey things move so quickly on here, dont know where to start! (so i wont!)

I have decided in my infinite wisdom to TTC even tho i am waiting for my AF post MC. I am day 17 now bugger it - cant be bothered to wait!

So, tonight is the night and i am shitting it Confused think i will just have a few glasses of wine thanks Izzy

MA you were lovely to me on another thread also, thanks! Welcome, sorry you are here too though. Awesome - fancy coming to my house and taking it out on my noisy neighbours? No shit tho sadly - dontcha just love it when scrotes do that in the park?!?

Izzy sisters rule. My sister can pop out healthy bruisers at the drop of a hat, made it a tad awkward for me recently, but when she puts her arms round me for a big sobby hug i wouldnt be without her! Go see her if you can Smile

pretty sorry to hear u feel crap...hope it is in fact for a good reason Grin

grumpy am with you. I am surrounded by bumps at the min. Friend at work didnt want hers, is now due in Nov. Other close friend has stolen my due date..... ARGH with a scheduled section....! That was my grumps on thursday now i am trying to focus on getting a bfp to keep me sane :)

Wish me luck for tonight everyone Blush

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 28/08/2010 20:26
hairytriangle · 28/08/2010 23:00

nicksternmum good luck! :)

sidles up to Izzy in hopes of top-up.

I am officially about an hour late for AF lol. This time last month I'd had a small brown spotting by now.

(sidles off to the 'ridiculous symptom spotting' thread as this is truly ridiculous as HT has had several BFNs already).

PinkFondantFancy · 28/08/2010 23:10

This thread is crazy - sooo much going on all the time, it's great! I have just discovered 24 for the first time - one of my colleagues has lent me the DVDs of series 1 and I am so addicted it's ridiculous!!! Have just watched 3 in a row but not sure it's good for my - my heart is racing!!! Was going to do something healthy tomorrow like go for a long walk but I think I'm more likely to be glue to the tely instead!

nickster that is so upsetting about your friend at work that didn't want her baby - I think this is the thing that I find hardest to get my head around, how can it be that people that want a baby more than anything lose theirs, whereas others carry to term in spite of themselves :-(

dachs I would fish slap you but it would be blatently hypocritical.. If I think hard enough about whether my boobs hurt and I feel sick I can actually summon up quite good imaginary symptoms! Why do I do it to myself?!

mrs owl did you manage to sort out your cat hair/shower curtain/pudding bowl issues? Did the visit from the PIL go ok?

Hairy LMAO at your iPhone-isms :-) Sorry about you being late, fingers crossed the BFP will be along in a couple of days!

chocolatedays I think someone posted a link for progesterone cream on the part 4 thread

Night all xx
