A comfy little corner for those who need company in the post mc ttc journey!

To POAS or not to POAS? That is the question!

All welcome Smile

Hi All

Am back after a self-imposed TTC break, which must admit I feel better for.

Sorry to see a few old names here IYKWIM - cheepz, jollster, barrenbrook

Can't believe it's 2 years since my MC. Am fast approaching 39, hoping for a pre-40th BFP :)

My stats are TTC#1, cycle 1 UCL28 CD21

Jamface · 28/10/2010 17:39

nicks you are truly a fruit bat. Meant in the best possible way of course [hgrin]

Jamface · 28/10/2010 17:43

And hello run, welcome back. I'm 39 too and am running out of time to have a pre-40 baby. Fingers crossed for you my dear Smile

skeletalnix · 28/10/2010 18:03

In mischievous mode this eve.... Looking forward to wallpapering later, minus the air bubbles of course! [hmmm]

Hi run, wow to abstaining for 2 years.... Welcome back x

owlgiblets · 28/10/2010 18:29

Have added RTTH in (welcome back!) and taken myself off as I know I am not up the duff due to some ebay cheapie POAS action, but af is being irritatingly late. Grrr. Am in TTC limbo. Nicks wallpapering is more fun if you have beer [hgrin]

Hi run - welcome back! Glad the break was good for you, and hope you're not here too long iykwim!

pink how's the detox going? Are you managing to keep it up?

GetDownYouWillFall · 28/10/2010 19:13

just take me off the list then, see if I care

skeletalnix · 28/10/2010 19:34

now now children...... no list squabbling tonight, or i will think of another spooky rhyme to keep you all amused!

GetDownYouWillFall · 28/10/2010 19:35

i'm not a nutter really

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 28/10/2010 19:36

getdown - you're back Smile

owl - come back!!

youremindmeofthebat · 28/10/2010 19:36

Mad as a box of frogs. But how mad is such a box of aforementioned frogs? As mad as nicks I say. Love the poem/song!

All well over here, I have had a day or two of browny stuff, and no other symptoms AT ALL. Hence I am getting my hopes up, even only on day 21 as I am. What a bloody nutter.

Welcome back run. Glad your amnesty has improved your outlook. Fx for a 40 baby for you.

Wheres mummyA? Got all extremities crossed for her, even my legs, given that there's half decent shit on the tv and day 21 is too late anyway!

I too will join you, izzy in awe of pink if she is detoxing. I have made a concerted effort today not to eat shit, and just popped into aldi on the way home, and fell for their almond chocolate( do we sense an almond addiction over here??) which is lush and cheap.

Hope chocky is ok, and being at home and the funeral is going as well as expected.

I wish I was in mamap's suitcase.. I feel like I could do with a break. I have finished making my quilt for my SIL's baby, and now will start on a double one for my best friend

skeletalnix · 28/10/2010 19:40

getdown that irritating blond girl from the apprentice got bulleted just in case you still didnt know [hgrin]

GetDownYouWillFall · 28/10/2010 19:41

Ooo goody! I didn't like her

skeletalnix · 28/10/2010 19:48

bats tryimg to think of one to "pop goes the weasel" but cant! (damn and buggeration)

skeletalnix · 28/10/2010 20:59

bats fab brown stuff. I won't say it in case I jinx it, but sh ....... could it be?????! Day 21? [hgrin]

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 28/10/2010 21:21

nicks I also don't want to jinx batfink but > I think it could

youremindmeofthebat · 28/10/2010 22:23

shhh. it's probably a bruised cervix from too much swi.

skeletalnix · 28/10/2010 22:34

Or could you have been cervix checking with long nails? There is of course that!

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 28/10/2010 22:39

Ouch nicks !!

HeadlessLadyBoo · 28/10/2010 22:39

OMG I think that is just about the most cringe-inducing thing I've read on this thread yet Grin...

Pink I'm interested in this sugar - bvits thing. I had an episode a while ago where it was discovered I had really really low b12. Had to have shots of b12 to get the level back up and then all sorts of tests to try to work out why. Never was given a satisfactory answer, just told to keep an eye on them. Am curious...hit me with those links

Nicks thanks you don't know how reassuring it is to be given that sort of information. I don't know what possessed me to buy the GF book. Although...we had a breakthrough today - hurrah! no accidents. Even if it all goes terribly wrong tomorrow I will remember this day and hang on to it.
Oh, and don't feel bad..I haven't sex yet this month...we're not a happy couple at the moment. Who knows, might get one in tonight if I'm lucky. I got a high on CBFM this morning and FF is predicting OV on Sunday so am hoping to maybe get tonight and Saturday night or something. Who knows.

urban you naughty tax cheat you.

Izzy the CBFM is programmed to always give you a second day of peak then a day of high after the first peak. It'll do this even if you don't test (at least it will give you the high, don't know about the peak, haven't checked that).

Owl huh. Limbo is a horrid place. Do you temp? Have they plummeted or still high? Internet cheapies could lie. (Yes you can slap me).

velvetcu prediction is pretty much down to looking at cervical mucous and OPKs. Oh and cervical position if you want to go rummaging. Temp charts just tell you when you can stop Smile

hi mousebacon. Your name still weirds me out.

skeletalnix · 28/10/2010 23:23

Boo short nails for you then my lovely! On arandom note re sugar, my Dsis does no sugar detox programmes for her clients suffering with bowel probs and skin conditions and wit not! Wil get some info from her if you like? tWas her told me to get bvit complex, and efa high doses of 369 post mc.

Re potty. It's been a long process for us really, not helped by him not being with me 4 days / week! Mummy made good suggestions re book and doll, sadly dh would never let me buy a doll, even tho he loves them! Great no accidents!!! Prepare for them tho, some data better than others. Ds cracked weds ages ago but has taken his time with poos, not helped in that he holds it in! From personal experience, theres no major rush!I was being pushed by mum cos of course I was potty trained by age 1 - but there is no science! Well done headless son :)

skeletalnix · 28/10/2010 23:26

That would be some days better than others, and cracked wee ages ago

skeletalnix · 28/10/2010 23:35

Re reading posts, in awe of your quilt making skills bats. stitched or crochet? Intrigued :)
mummy any news????

MummyAbroad · 29/10/2010 00:35

Helloooooo. No news from me, have to take the pill for another 5 days, so I guess if anything is gonna happen it will be when I stop. Dont worry I will be straight on MN with the gory details Grin

Welcome back RunForTheHills Smile hope you dont have to stay long IUSWIM. xxx

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 29/10/2010 05:08

Well done miniboo !!

mummya aka the oracle, my CBFM and I bow down to your superior knowledge (unfortunately for me!). Despite the CBFM showing peak on cd20, my temps have only just risen and the graph def shows ov on cd22 or 23 (just waiting for it to draw the line, prob tomorrow). Last swi of the shagathon was cd21 - does this mean (ignoring forca second the qu of LP) I've no chance? [hsad]

sorry for mememe post, just a bit disappointed. mummya - hope the bleeding was a sign the pill is working (must be having some effect) and AF is queueing up to arrive in 5 days time [hsmile]
