Just MC and ready to try again? Pack your cake, wine and tightie whities and join us for more ranting, weeping and most of all, laughing. All welcome (Part 7)

[MamaPower]

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

I haven't got any Izz or I would!! Toss pot is such an arse! I think it must just be cos Af just ended and have had grapefruit juice today!! Gonna opk later

Have had this before have to say tons of ewcm around 12 then again cd20

Scuse my very bad language before ladees not a lady here obviously ! Dont like swearing much, just a bit shocked!

Yeah Izzy it does mean that but I wasnt expecting it so early since last cycles were 32 then 42 days! Luckily was randy and SWI'd on day before and day of ov but this is the first time i have temped to its all a bit scary!

firework delusional or not, surely after a few days of af he should be keen for some action??!! How annoying. In that case hope it isn't positive on the opk and that comes for you in a couple of days time when he is cooperating!

Kat he's just an arse! Married for ten years, all changes !!

Tired with a cold says it all :(

Breaks my heart really!

2 neg opk will do in themorningagain, just in case! Then he will cooperate! Why do blokes make you beg huh?

Because this is the only time, ever, in your entire relationship, that the proverbial shoe is on the other foot.

Ditto 'I'm tired' , 'I'm washing my hair' , 'I've got a headache' etc.

Bless them.

I suggest plying with wine. Although not first thing in the morning. :)

Thanks jam pink and everyone else for welcomes and advice

Was first day back in the gym, I saw my PT for the first time since IT happened. "how's it going?" "it's not"

Sorry AF is visiting so many. nix a Lemsip should do the trick :)

Hi orange welcome and sorry that you have had to join us. Well done for getting back to the gym. That's really hard when people don't know and you have to tell them.

[anger]

have left my bloody thermometre in a hotel room in bristol ! just when gettinginto the swing

I think everyone needs a hug and a song... if only i could find the positivity to sing one!

Sorry orange, not easy. well done btw :)

Here; this will cheer everyone up. We need more goats.

Goats climbing walls

and

Goats up trees

And on that goaty note, I'm off to bed. Nix lovely, sod the thermometer. You sound like you're about to snap. Have a nice long soak in the bath then get some rest; tomorrow is another day :)

izzy v sorry AF looks like it's on the way again. I hate those frantic searches, for me it's normally keys as DS has a bit of a key obsession at the moment and steals them play with (despite us giving him his own set blanks).

bonfire I agree, keeping busy and planning something is a great idea for getting through the day. Still likely to collapse in the evening, but a way to get through the day is worth it.

apple you poor thing, but courage, I have everything crossed that the scan goes well.

nix well, I guess it can vary! Good thing you caught it. I hope you can get DH to play ball eventually.
Erm. So to speak.

I want some flurry slipper boots!

So guess what I learnt today. Apparently, you can have another estrogen surge after ovulation. Which can cause temps to dip and patches of EWCM to appear. I learnt this because I'm trying find out why my temps are dipping so soon. I had a fantastic rise, and then ever since, drop, drop, drop. Am almost back to cover line now. It's a bit worrying, made me think I'm not doing well on the ol' progesterone. Anyone had this? I hope that they go back up tomorrow.

here take a look

Thanks kat and nix I forgot the gym's next to the hospital too, oh well....

Can't think of a song either

owl my DH says he's looking forward to it but we haven't started yet! Think I'll remember the wine tactic :)

Oh Nix what a sucky day/week/month. Huge hugs. As my Mum always says, it's a phase. Things will look brighter soon and at this point it is all about hanging onto a bottle of wine in there. Dh and I had a crappy night out tonight - the combined stress of just too many unknowns at the moment - in any case no action tonight and it is cd15 when I know I ov ... Oh well.

Big (((hugs))) all round. You are all lovely and deserve so much better x

nix how about getting him when he's still half-asleep in the morning? They lack the willpower to resist at that point

owly does the new name mean the boot shopping was successful??! The climbing goats are amazing! Erm, but how did you find them????

izz hehe respect for your ability to think like a four year old!! Also at DH's reduced will power when half asleep :)

nix sorry DH isn't cooperating :( fingers crossed you've still got time this month for some well timed swi!! It does sound early for ewcm but you never know! Also sorry about thermo, gutted!! :(

ladybee sorry about the chart stress, sorry, as you can probably tell, I am completely clueless about such things but hopefully it's nothing sinister....

aandr sorry about your rubbish night out :(

velvet you doing ok today?

Ok so I am feeling weirdly calm and serene today and I put it down to a dream I had last night.... I'm going to share it but please don't think I'm mental, it made sense at 3am.... So in my dream I was thinking about how stressed I am about how pg I should have been and how it seems so easy for everyone else and how unfair it is and how my cycles are getting longer and I have no clue when I ovulate etc etc etc. But then in my dream I thought if I was an inanimate object, say a bridge, (stick with me here.....), I wouldn't have any choice about what flows in the river that runs underneath me. So if I'm the bridge and your life is what flows underneath, even if you put your waders on and stand in the river trying to stop done things flowing past and encourage other stuff, you can't actually influence it and it's just exhausting. So all you can do is try and make your bridge as strong and weatherproof as you can, and pull up a deckchair and chill out. Ok it sounds even weirder now I've written it down but anyway it's chilling me out today!! :)

Have a fab day everyone! Xxxx

pink do you know what? Actually that does make sense. It's so frustrating having no control over it but maybe if we accepted that we couldn't control most of it, it would be a lot less strssful. Hmmm.

ladybee looked at your chart, yes it is a bit confusing but it has never gone back over the coverline and has gone back up today so I think you're ok. Not meaning to give false hope but I thought I read somewhere about a possible dip at implantation? Not 100% sure on that though, maybe someone else will know more. Fx for you anyway!

owl love the goats!!

pff what an amazing dream ... I love the imagery and i think you are completely correct I think you have captured the essence of buddism! My chant will have to extend to include 'I am a strong bridge and i will just let the water flow beneath me' - sounds like a Beatles song ....The waters are turbulent ladies but that often makes for the best ride!

Hi ladies im sorry i sounded like a mega stresshead last night :( the one thing i said i wouldnt do!!

I dont think it is fertile time tbh, i have had this before! Dont know what causes it!
Neg OPK again this morning so DH still not obliging.... am now ignoring him and concentrating on DS. I can understand where he is coming from, doesnt want to just up and perform on a whim that it might be the right time, and he tells me its impossible to OV 2 days after period when on a long cycle i tell him he obviously doesnt want another baby then huh?...... i think the last month i was telling him i was Ov from day 15 right through to day 23 and of course he got pissed off with it (not that did anything about it lol) i think the best thing to do is to sit down and talk about it rationally! Gutted i lost my therm, cos if there was one thing that would tell me for certain if over the next 2 days OV happens it wouldbe that!! Will order another now and restart when it arrives... and yes IZZ i will try the sleepy thing in the mornings, i know he prefers that!

Anyway, i think i am calmer this morning owls i want to destress otherwise i will never OV! (was bloody furious last night)

Love to you all and talk to you later xxxx
Sorry for not namecheckign the last couple of days, will do later i promise

Morning ladies,

pink that dream sounde dlovely and did make sense. You sound much more serence today too so maybe there was something in it. Long may it last.

nix Agghhh so annoying about your therm ! And sorry DH is being a pain. Im not sure what the answer is. Have you been trying long ? Im sorry I dont know your story. I know some men get a little despondent about the whole thing. A masculinity thing ? My DH got quite offended when i suggested that the reason I havent fallen pg could quite possibly be his sperm and not me !!

ladybee I know nothing about charts. Havent got there yet. But its coming im sure.

owlboots thannks for the pics lol.

Well, Im feeling.....quite teary today ? I'm not imagining it either. I had a massive row with DH last night becuase he told me not to buy him a certain p.c game for xmas as he will be " buying it before then as Im not waiting till xmas to play online " I was sooo annoyed. A bit too annoyed and we ended up having a slanging match and me storming off to bed. Normally that wouldnt bother me nut I cried myself to sleep and felt most weird. Then at 5am DD woke me to say she had wet the bed GRRRRRRR So after changing the sheets and getting her settle again I went to the loo and wasted my FMU so I guess she did me a favour really as I resisted testing again lol.
So, AF due tommorrow eeeeeeeeeeeeek.

Im not kidding myself im pg. Tears and tantrums from me are the onset of AF.

Sorry pink my spelling is appalling today. Thats should spell SERENE

betweener my story is MC Aug, @ 12 weeks am now TTC2 and 3 months later on second cycle. have 35+ day cycles normally! Sorry you rowed, seems a bit like my house too at the min! Men!

I very nearly ran downstairs and stamped my foot like a toddler last night such was my frustration lol

(((hugs))) to nix and inbetweener

anyway just updating the list to put me at the bottom. Still feeling a bit but new cycle, new start, and all that. This month I am going to: (1) keep going to acupuncturist (2) actually try and follow her diet tips (3) up my b6 from 50mg/day to 100 in attempt to beat the luteal phase monster and (4) actually read TCOYF instead of just looking at it and thinking how big it is.

Onwards and upwards ladies:
