Hi ive been posting on the miscarrage forum but now feel ready to start all over again!
My story, Had my first MMC in nov 2007, followed by an erpc (worst moment of my life) this was my first pregnancy and i felt robbed. Waited for two periods and got pg with my little DD in feb 2008, i had a great pg and birth but was on constant knicker alert. We decided when she was two we would like another baby to add to the familiy, we decided to try in sept this year and got pg first time! (very shocked) I was so hoping this would be my time to have a stress free pg and actually enjoy the experience! How wrong i was, i started to spot at six weeks had a scan which showed a sac but no baby, i then enjoured the worst two week of my life by having scan and blood tests. I was told on the 8th on nov the pregnany was not going to continue and i had a blighted ovum, and on the 9th i had a erpc. I have recovered well and stopped bleeding the day after the procedure. I went to see my doc last week who told me i could start ttc asap as long as i feel up to it?? anyone else ttc straight away, last time i was told to wait and i did but this time i have read that there is no lit to say wait apart from to date the pg?? Im hoping there are some people who can share there experiences and someone who wants to join me!

Hi ladies
Good look with all the SWI, I wouldnt worry about not being there on OV day Mrsb, as isnt it better to have the little fellas there inside ready to pounce when the egg comes out ? The egg only stays alive a few hours doesn't it, wheres the little fellas last longer??
Nice to see you again nurse good luck with the 2ww.
One of my friends has just announced she is PG even though only 7 weeks it is on facebook! It is her 3rd and she wasn't trying.........
I'm crossing everything yellow that your tests were wrong, as you have been PG twice!! and if drinking seems to work for you then I suggest you do it every OV week!
Hope the 5am fornicating worked out for you wombat ! that is commitment!
Hi sparkly Brown wave!!
xxxx

Wormshuffler · 25/01/2011 20:44

Hey.........someone just said I had a great name on another thread-----> runs off giggling behind hand. If only they knew pmsl xx

MrsB33 · 25/01/2011 21:53

wombat i think i missed that one?? 5am?? Bloody ell!!! I thought having it three times in one day was commited! 5am god that has to be rewarded with a bfp
worm, that so funny it just made me laugh out loud, i still cant get the images out of my head!!! Lmao...
I need to change my name i think, new year new start, has to involve pecker and my little friend any ideas ladies??

manamana · 25/01/2011 22:07

Hello ladies, happy birthday sparkly.
Not been around for a while cos exhaustion has struck and am also feeling more wobbly as I get further on. Theoretically 7 weeks today so am just thinking not many more weeks to go till I know either way. Appt with gp on Thursday so been counting down to that and hoping I don't just cry on her- I do have a tendency to wail in the presence of drs!
Yellow, definitely liking the link between booze and pg, sounds like it would definitely be worth at least one month of heavy drinking to see if that will work again.
Wormshuffler, Absolutely loving the thought of your name becoming more widely know and people wondering where on earth it came from ;-)
Mrsb yes definitely something with pecker in it cos I haven't heard that from anyone else in a very long time!
Anyway, take care all. Good luck with the swi, if you managed the 5am then respect.

MrsB33 · 25/01/2011 22:24

how bout, mylittleoldfriendpecker???

yellowtomato · 26/01/2011 08:23

or peckermylittleoldfriend and then we can call you pecker for short.

MrsB I can't believe you can do it 3 times in day......I remember this when I was a student but i just don't think either of us would be able to manage it now. Even every day is pushing it a bit!

worm that would be hilarious if you ever have to explain yourself!

manamana good to hear from you. Sorry you are feeling so tired, i think it's normal to feel nervous. Are you going to try to get an early scan or are you waiting until 12 weeks?

wombat so did you go for the 5am action? I have to say that would be impressive dedication to duty!

I'm on the lookout for EWCM then it will be GO, GO, GO....but with or without alcohol, that is the question!

wombatinwaiting · 26/01/2011 14:05

loving the new names for mrsb - I wonder if you'll end up the same as worm with people asking where it came from!

Great that you and yellow are sync cycle buddies. I vote for with alcohol yellow - seems to have served you well in the past Smile

For the record, DH put in a request for the 5am action, however, there is nooooooo chance of that happening. If it was for SWI purposes then I would consider it, but he was just feeling hard done by after 20 days without any sex (don't blame him) due to thrusah / AF. Anyway, just managed a quickie before yoga so everybody's happy! Grin

Sparklywine · 26/01/2011 14:31

Feelingpeckerish perhaps? Grin
First day back to work after a long weekend so feeling in a daze, and had too much wine last night. Yellow, we have a 'dry' night on Monday and occasionally manage to abstain of a Tuesday unless we can find an incredibly tenuous reason for a drink ("Huzzah, full moon Tuesday, a snifter of wine my dear?"). All other nights we will easily polish off a bottle, and nearing the weekend this will be two and some spirits. This must stop!

I am getting fed up of being hungover and having a pink shiny face, and it is definitely no good for conceiving in my made-up humble opinion. Not for me anyway, I don't seem to have an effective cut-off mechanism. So we are now attempting a detox, bar a binge beverage or two planned for Friday after work with a few colleagues.
AF is due 2 weeks today so that puts me officially in the 2WW camp. However, due to lack of ewcm and general confusedness I'm not sure if and when I have ovulated. Further research on the charting threads seem to suggest that the average luteal phase for a 30 day cycle would be 14 days, which means I ov today, or possibly yesterday - the one day without any swi action! However, by ov day it is apparently maybe possibly too late anyway.
My head hurts with all of this, I need a drink! [bgrin] Oooh, Scottish emoticons! Hoots everyone!

myoldfriendpecker · 26/01/2011 14:39

hey ladies its me mrsb33 ive changed, no sure its a keeper but thought id give it a try to see if it fits...
need to clarify, three times in one day was only once!! the day i ov;d hich happened to be the day i spend in bed recovering from my new year celebrations.. he he.
after that me and dh didnt (do it) till saturday, oooopppps poor fella, maybe his pecker got damaged!! lol
sparkly all sounds like fun to me!!

yellowtomato · 26/01/2011 18:25

Afternoon all

I might have a hot lead on the job front so keep your finger crossed for me.....

No sign of EWCM here but swi action tomorrow regardless......

sparkly the books all say wine is bad...so moderation is probably better...but so hard to achieve. Since I decided on Sunday to cut down a bit i've wanted a drink more than ever! Grin All this charting and calculating is very complicated indeed......sometimes I wonder how anyone ever gets pg.

liking the new name pecker you must be careful not to damage it cos then where will you be......

I once erm damaged and ex boyfriend during oral sex.......he bled everywhere and all i could think about was the stains on my parents carpet!! ....is that tmi? Grin

Come on any other funny/embarrassing/painful sex stories?

myoldfriendpecker · 26/01/2011 23:23

hi yellow what does ewcm stand for?? Im sure its really obvious but i just dont!!! Dddeeerrrrrrr lol
well my story is, me and dh got together when we were 18, he was my first, him, three more b4 hand... The last one he slept with was a bit excitable and bent his willy back during a session and did some damage, so i received damaged goods!!! Lol
for two years, it would take him up to 5 hours to come!!! I was bloody knackered!!! But carried on thinking that was all normal.
Its wasnt until i got into an interesting sex story telling session at work i found out 5 hour sessions werent normal anyway, his all corrected now, but he still cant manage a quicky!! 20 mins is his quickest to date!!!
yellow how on earth did you make the poor fella bleed, your meant to suck not bite!!! He he

myoldfriendpecker · 26/01/2011 23:24

yellow forgot to say, do fill us in on the job front when you know more, how exciting!!!

yellowtomato · 27/01/2011 08:23

well job thing is uncertain still....looks like on paper I'd be a good fit but I just gave them CV yesterday so waiting to see if they call me...so finger crossed and positive vibes please ladies.....

pecker FIVE HOURS Shock I'm just glad he's managed to reduce that a bit otherwise you'd never get anything else done! Not to mention how exhausted you'd be.......I can't believe you thought 5 hours was normal....bless you!

Well if you want details re blow job.....those that don't please move on, nothing to see here.......so the foreskin bit is attached to the 'main' bit and in this fella case that bit of skin was a bit tight......but it wasn't any more after i'd accidentally erm unattached it a bit with my teeth.......it created a fountain of blood spurting up in the air Grin but after the shock and the healing it was actually better for him and less tight.....soo in a way I did him a favour Didn't I? come on ladies roll up roll up don't be shy....

in other news i will SWIng into action tonight with pre-seed and dipping and waving my legs in the air like I just don't care!

wombatinwaiting · 27/01/2011 15:30

Oh my goodness yellow - you must have been mortified at the time but what a great story to share now! Dare I ask if you're still in touch?! I am wracking my brains trying to think of something to share..... the only thing vaguely interesting I can think of is a one night stand when I was 32 with a 22 year old whose name was Colin! Talking of one night stands, I saw a hilarious post on facebook the other day of an fb friend in Queensland whose one night stand turned into a 3 day stand as they were trapped by the flooding! Can you imagine?! Blush

Pecker (love the name change by the way) - 5 hours?! How long was it before you had the sex telling session at work when you found out it wasn't a "standard" time....?!

Keep us posted on the job news yellow - fingers and toes crossed for that and the SWI action over the next few days for you and pecker.

DH out on a boozy work night tonight that started at 4.30 straight from work - hmmmm, wonder what sort of state he'll be in.... so I have the place to myself and lots of emails and phone calls to catch up on - ooh, aren't I wild?! Tomorrow night we are off to another fancy dress night - a decade of your choice.

Sparklywine · 27/01/2011 15:55

Wombat, you are so cute. I love that Yellow practically circumcised a bloke with her dubious bj technique, and Pecker has five hour love marathons with a crooked member whilst your tale involves an innocent young thing called Colin. Love also that you found out his geeky name, something I never remembered felt necessary Grin
I have nothing else to add to this debate!

yellowtomato · 27/01/2011 16:26

Tee hee sparkly are you sure? Nothing at all to add?

No we are not still in touch now...it was many many years ago....but we did go out for at least 6 months or so after the incident

A friend of mine (no not me a friend) was doing it canine style and at one point he sort of missed and she ended up having to go to hospital for stitches......blood everywhere apparently.....sounds very ouch to me.

wombat did you teach Colin a thing or two? Grin A night in catching up sounds great. Why are there so many fancy dress parties where you are? I hate fancy dress parties....never can come up with a good costume, i always end up feeling a bit lame.

In other news I saw the acupuncturist today and he was really lovely and supportive. He said that he thought with acupuncture and Chinese herbs I could be pg again in 3 months! Sounds a bit optimistic to me but he did give me a case study to read about a 45 year old who had had 2 failed IVFs and went on to conceive naturally after 5 months of treatment. His view is that western medicine is too quick to put you in a 'box' looking at one result rather than the bigger picture. Still waiting for the other results that I was meant to get early this week....grrr after paying all that money you'd think he could pull his finger out a bit. So..........I guess that is a much more optimistic point of view but I don't really know what to think. The herbs would involve drinking some kind of tea twice a day...not sure what I think about that kind of medicine but I guess it's worth a go? Does anyone else have any experience of Chinese medicine?

yellowtomato · 27/01/2011 16:28

pecker forgot to say that EWCM stands for egg white cervial mucus (well you did ask!) and it refers to the consistency of the discharge you get when most fertile....ie it looks and feels like egg white. So when you get that it is the start of your fertile period.

I have mine today so we are good to go!! tmi again? Hmmm I think we passed that point some time ago!

Sparklywine · 27/01/2011 16:51

A friend you say, Yellow? Wink

yellowtomato · 27/01/2011 16:57

it wasn't me.....it wasn't honest! I admitted the bj situation but this wasn't me...made my eyes water when she told me about it though...

wombatinwaiting · 27/01/2011 17:47

I'm with sparkly on this one.... a friend, my eye! Either way, big ouch! They must have really been going at it to involve stitches....! I wish I did have a more exciting tale to tell.... talking of which, you must have something to add to the storyboard sparkly, if not, can you make something up? - ooh, maybe we should do that anyway - one true story, one false and we have to guess which one is true....! As for teaching Colin anything (seriously, how many Colins do you know who would have been born in 1983?!) I think I was a bit too tipsy to have impressed him with any graduate style inflagrante moves!

So pleased to hear about your positive acupuncture session yellow - what he says about being put in a box rings very true. I don't have any experience of Chinese medicine personally but I have a friend who is usually very conventional who swears by it for her IBS. I guess a bit like the pre-seed, it really can't do any harm. What do you think? Do keep us posted on the lazy private test results too.

Wormshuffler · 27/01/2011 17:49

Lol you lot make me laugh. I have already shared enough in this thread thank you very much! Not that i have any defective willy stories to tell you about anyway. Except my first love had a bent one and it reached the parts most willys can't reach :)
I have a good feeling for you yellow you are going to beat the odds :)
pecker 5 hours Shock!!!
Best of luck with the swi/2ww ladies, can't wait to come and join you all, 2 weeks and counting :)

yellowtomato · 27/01/2011 17:56

Also I have to admit that I have cracked and now have my BBT thermometer and am signed up to fertility friend and have started on my chart! i just tried the thermometer and it says my temperature is 99.18....that can't be right can it? I know you are meant to take it in the morning and it's higher in the evening but that seems a bit high...do you think it was due to the tea I'm drinking? Grin

In the case study they showed the woman's temp chart and how it had improved etc so i thought I'd give it a go.. who else here is a charter, I know someone is but I can' remember who...

wombatinwaiting · 28/01/2011 06:56

Ooh worm - I like the sound of your first love's defect!

yellow - I started charting and am signed up to FF but cannot seem to be able to get a reading on the thermometer. What is a normal temp in Farenheit then? I only know centigrade. Could be the tea or perhaps you're just a hot babe!

yellowtomato · 28/01/2011 09:04

wombat I think it's meant to be about 97..over a 100 is a fever....but it was 97 this am so much have been tea/wrong time of day or something. It seems to be crucial to take it as soon as you wake for some reason. this is fine for during the week but will be more of a challenge at the weekend!

myoldfriendpecker · 28/01/2011 10:07

to clarify, the 5 hour sessions lasted for around 12 months!!! Thats why i was a size 8 and now a 12.... Lol
i gave up on my temps as i also got alot of 96 reading, which surely isnt normal...waves to all. Seriously funny stories...
