Hc- Ohhhh hunny I really hope af does'nt show for you. At least you're expecting it. Only problem is if you got a bfp, you'd be in total shock .

Diddle · 22/09/2005 18:05

HC - i don't want to leave the thread either, would be very weird not having you all to talk to, but i wouldn't want to stay too long either, i'd hate you to all get upset because i was pg. So hard isn't it, but i know as we have all beome such good mates it would be ok, we can be a mixed group all the time.

All you bfp people, don't take that the wrong way, i don't want you to go

CH - i thought it might be early. anyway off to talk DH into BD before his boss comes for the night. its our only chance today

hello, i am gonna start trying tonight as i am on cd 7, i am going to try and concieve a girl so i am going off to the shops in a bit to feed my man high magnesium foods for the rest of the week.

i have a friend who i met recently who had 2nd trimester miscarriage caused by cvs - this happened at easter just past and a year before that she had a termination at the same late stage for abnormality.
anyway her dh has said no more! she is gutted as she really wants to try again, i really dont want to tell her that i am ttc

i am looking forward to being pregnant again although obviously really anxious too but since my baby was born things have changed loads i have decided to take a year out of uni and have moved into a much nicer place and have got really interested in health, i am on a cocktail of multi vitamins, calcium and mag, omega 3 fish oil, acidophilus and fresh vegetable and fruit juice so i am hoping i am healther than before and because of no work or uni this year am going to be stress free- fingers crossed. i am desperate to have a baby, my dp is not the father of my ds and dd 8 and 6 years so he is really keen on having his own kids, although is still a great dad to my 2.

have not been round much today as have been wembley shopping am cream crackered now and house is a right state so i best get on with it.

this does seem like a lucky thread is that 3 people so far thats are pg? i wont be testing for a few weeks yet so lets hope the next thread is lucky too ;)

Diddle · 22/09/2005 18:34

slinkstah - good to hear from you. Yep 3 positives in one week, thats brilliant, lest hope we're all next.
I wouldn't blame you for not telling your friend, Coathanger is taking a break from TTC as well, as her DH isn't keen on trying again, might have a lot in common with your friend, and help you discuss it with your friend, maybe.

Sorry Coathanger not voluntearing you for anything

babybloos · 22/09/2005 20:28

Hello everyone, thank you so much for all your messages.....just fantastic and makes me feel so much less alone! My dd (10mths)has scuppered any plans to spend time chatting over the last few days, deciding the computer cable is the most interesting thing in the whole house and that I am also the most interesting thing in the world! I am actually very grateful for her love and feel that I should be grateful and not feel so sorry for myself. I can't wait to have some time to really catch up on all the news. It's my birthday on Sat so my only request has been a little time.....and some champagne! I loved coathangers champagne chat earlier in this thread. Anyway, thanks again and I will keep looking for your news and views etc. You all sound lovely and thanks again for the virtual hugs xx

slinkstah · 22/09/2005 21:16

an ovulation microscope is a small microscope thing that looks like a lipstick and you put some fresh saliva on it and let it dry and then look at it, if there are ferning patterns it means that your saliva has got estrogen in it which means that you are about to ovulate or get af.

i think they are brill as its much less hassle than the LH pee tests. they are also really cheap too, i think it was around a tenner.

Coathanger · 22/09/2005 21:50

WOW!! I need me one of them there OV microscopes!!!! Isn't technology wonderful!!

Babybloos - I know what you mean about being grateful for what you have. But it doesn't make the pain of losing a baby any less. The girls on here helped me with that issue. I already have 3 boys, and I adore them and I thank God every day for what I have. But I am still grieving for that baby I lost. And I know now that that is okay - I'm allowed to feel sorry for myself. Its not a case of being lucky or grateful.

Oh, and we'll have some more champers on Saturday

Coathanger · 22/09/2005 22:16

Well, I'm off to the land of Nod! Nobody wants to talk to me so I'm going now [sniff-sniff]

Nighty-night! Sweet dreams all!

Diddle · 23/09/2005 07:44

Morning all!!!

slinstah - have never heard of a ov microscope before, and i thought we knew everything, may have to investigate that one.

babybloos - I can't say i know how you feel, i'm still trying for my first baby, but i have to say that regardless of how many children you already have, that pain of th eloss won't go away, and you don't have to feel grateful that you already have one, just to make you feel better, you can grieve the child you have lost, its important that you do. I'm a childminder and after my m/c's i threw myself into making the kids days really special, because i felt the same, they are lucky to be here and i am honoured to look after them. But the pain and aching for one of my own is still there. Give yourself time, i can assure you ti does get easier.

Coathanger - Have you scared everyone off again last night

THANK CRUNCHIE ITS FRIDAY!!! i am really looking forward to my lie in tomorrow.
