Had an mc and need some wine, chocolate and somewhere to moan and cry? This is the place to be! We chat a LOT so it can be hard to keep up, but everyone on here is great and will hold your hand until you get your BFP.

ooh good luck pink, orange and aandr! I've still got my flashing suspenders on (now under thermals, fleeces and snow boots Xmas Grin)

morning everyone else out there this morning!

IzzyWizzyletsgetChristmassy · 20/12/2010 09:10

Oooh thanks wombat

After totally confusing temps yesterday, FF finally drew crosshairs and told me I'm 4dpo today, so am into the 2ww. This is good as dh and I are quite frankly fed up of shagging and abortive swi attempt last night ended in a row. Isn't ttc really crap sometimes? Xmas Sad

so is anyone joining me yet on the 2ww? wombat where are you cycle-wise?

orestyemerrywombat · 20/12/2010 09:34

Izz I'm not really sure! Xmas Confused I normally get two days of smilies on the opk then a temp rise on cd 18 ish. This month I had one smilie day (yesterday) but my temps went down today... To be honest they've been all over the place this month so far so I've no idea what's going on! I'm guessing I'm oving today (nearly didn't try to get into london for work in case I don't make it good for swi Xmas Blush). We'll see what temps do tomorrow! Either way, should be about to join you I think.

orestyemerrywombat · 20/12/2010 09:35

don't make it home for swi

orestyemerrywombat · 20/12/2010 09:42

I'm with you on ttc being crap sometimes! The whole sex on demand thing is not conducive to romance!!

RudolfThePinkNosedReindeer · 20/12/2010 10:02

izz sorry about the row, it really is shit-I have the same thing too that we always start too early in the month and then by ov time we're both exhausted and definitely not in the mood any more Xmas Sad

Thanks for bacon sardines wombie, yum!!!

Hehe I showed my DH the pee stick this morning, he was less than impressed that that was all the second line I could muster!!! In his words 'hmm I'm not sure I'd get my hopes up based on THAT - you can only see the line if you hold the stick up to your face, squint and tilt it at the particular angle.....' hehe he makes a good point.

nix you still alive hun??

RudolfThePinkNosedReindeer · 20/12/2010 10:03

Bacon sardines???? Xmas Grin

IzzyWizzyletsgetChristmassy · 20/12/2010 10:20

pink I remember getting the same reaction when I woke dh up at 5am to show him my bfp with dd. As I told him then though, a line is a line, and you're either pg or you're not. You can't be slightly pg, in the same way that you can't be slightly dead.

'Tis one occasion when the digi tests get a better reaction because you don't have the arguments about the darkness of the line, it's just pg or not pg. Men cope better with that.

I heard from nix on the charters thread (and I hope she won't mind me telling you girls) that she'd had some brown cm and was going to try to get to epu to get checked out. Fx it's nothing and she'll be on here later breathing a huge sigh of relief - however much we know it's quite common we all know how worrying it can be.

Velvetstocking · 20/12/2010 10:28

Just updating - I seem to have lost a cycle.

Sorry she got you HK.

I'm thinking 2010 has been a shite year so I didnt expect any good news for me - we will get some in 2011 - we have a whole 12 months of saying that ahead :)

Hehe thanks izzy you are so right-it needs to be a definitive preg/not preg for them to get their heads round!!

Awww poor nix I so hope they've got reassuring news for her :( bloody hell, that combined with the lurgy is a lot to deal with in the week before chrimbo :(

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 20/12/2010 10:34

Hola, doc for now seems unconcerned unless it gets darker or red and won't send me to epu unless it is. Was worried as have had a high fever which he says was viral but I had a fever last time!! Ds and dh have also had fevers saying that!!

Have gone from vomiting and nausea to fever to brown discharge, my head is totally shredded :(

Velvetstocking · 20/12/2010 10:38

aww nix big hugs to you. I booked myself into epu last time - maybe you could give them a call?

RudolfThePinkNosedReindeer · 20/12/2010 10:38

Awww nix try and stay hopeful if you can- DH and DS had fevers too so hopefully it's just from the flu. Are you able to rest up and take it easy for a few days?

IzzyWizzyletsgetChristmassy · 20/12/2010 10:45

nix he's probably right, but it doesn't stop you worrying does it? Why don't you try ringing your midwives direct - even if you're not yet registered with them for this pg they might help (my dsis had to go thus route and they did refer her). Explain you've already had a mc and they might be more sympathetic - cry if you need to.

I know it sounds cynical behaviour but it'll do you no good to be stressing about it, so I would get seen if you can x

owlbooty · 20/12/2010 10:48

Nix you poor thing, take very good care of yourself - lots of treats and relaxing as much as you can. If doc is messing you about do not feel at all bad about wailing at him until he writes the referral out of desperation to get you out of his office! x

Rudolf hoorah for the bfp :) The line I got on the first test I did was so puny I didn't actually show DH until 5 days later when I got a reasonably convincing one. He doesn't know I've been testing again every 3 days since then; I've got enough piss-sticks to make a fecking nativity scene out of now Xmas Smile

Nice flashing suspenders, you lot, by the way Grin

orestyemerrywombat · 20/12/2010 11:14

Aw Nix BIG hugs lovely xxxx I'm keeping everything crossed it's just a touch of flu and you'll all be absolutely fine xxx

Velvet hugs for you too. Sorry 20100 have been such a shit year. Roll on 2011, eh?! 'twil; be a fab'un for all of us on here I hope! Xmas Grin

Pink keep the faith! Wishing you a sticky sticky bean and some really strong lines to show DH in a few days Xmas Grin. You can keep your sardines though thanks :)

Izz at least your on the 2ww now - you and Mr Izz can have a bit of time off!

orestyemerrywombat · 20/12/2010 11:20
  • you're not your (what is wrong with me this morning?!?!)
MamaChristmas · 20/12/2010 11:22

There I was just lurking away and thought I couldn't ignore this... Nix sending you a big fat hug my love. Stay in bed and take it easy. BTW, you don't need anyone's permission (GP referral or otherwise) to seek advice from the EPU, if you want some reassurance just call the nurse directly via the hospital maternity/EPAU ward!

In other news the biatch showed yesterday as expected! Can someone put me down the bottom on the list CD 2 today and also I've lost some cycles too... should now be 6.

Waves to all and goes back to lurking!

HongKongBaby · 20/12/2010 11:29

Thanks for the support girls, makes me feel much better to know someone out there understands.

Am struggling to keep up but do we have pink, A&R and Orange all with faint lines? I am sure you will all get your big, fat, unmistakable soon. Any line at all is a positive really though isn't it?

Nix sorry you have this worry and are feeling poorly. I hope you are able to get some rest and have someone to take care of you.

Velvet we are at the bottom of the list together both on cycle 5 and similar cycle lengths. I am hoping January brings us both some good news.

IzzyWizzyletsgetChristmassy · 20/12/2010 11:48

Sorry she got you mamac - just updating list.

Let's hope we've got some bfshinyps with bells and fecking tinsel on to cheer us all up as we limp to the end of 2010 - and that 2011 proves to be a luckier year for all the rest of us x

Pink did I miss that you got a faint line??
A bfp line???

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 20/12/2010 12:34

Ok so I forgot I had 2 cb Digi pg tests upstais. Have just peed and it's saying pregnant 3+ which puts me at the Max for those tests but at least it's gone up! Ok it only shows 5+ weeks and I am 7+ tomorrow but it's reassuring!!

orestyemerrywombat · 20/12/2010 12:45

Glad you're getting some reassurance Nix. I think those Digi tests can be quite accurate. Certainly before my MC when I thought there was something wrong but before I had any bleeding, I took one and it seemed quite accurate (in my case it showed me that I had lower levels of HCG than I should have done) so getting a 3+ is good news Xmas Grin (I was 7 wks and the test said 1-2 :(.

LadybeenKissingSantaClaus · 20/12/2010 14:16

Pink, Pink, Pinkety, Pink I'm doing a small wriggle of excitement for you and the rest of the 'Am I? Aren't I?' faint-liners. Gawwwd, how exciting in the run up to Christmas. What a nice present that would be.

What I need for my present is some action in the bedroom - CD12 here and it's like DH & I live on separate planets. I've been working late most nights and he's managed to get addicted to a new PC game. ARARRRRRRGH this is NOT conducive to relaxed, chilled, what will be, will be approach to TTC. The assumption that you shag when you feel like is that both of you will actually feel like it occasionally. Sheesh. Right. Am going to have to tap him on the shoulder and make sure I cross off everything on my Big List today

HongKong phooey. Sorry you can slap me. Take time to feel down, and give yourself some treats. It'll be better in a few days but it's rubbish at the moment isn't it.

Izzy well done on making it to the TWW with some sense of relationship still intact, sounds like it was a close thing though. Did you go for it every night or every second? I'm tempted to try to get him to agree to every night for next 4, but think that might be counterproductive.

Right straw poll ladies. I normally OV day 14 or day 15. Am not using CBFM this month, so just have to go on stats.
Am day 12 today. Mornings are not so good for us now, as DS gets out of bed and comes to say hello. What would you recommend as the the best combination of best chance and not freaking DH out with 'every night' demands?

Velvet sorry lady I missed you'd been got this round too. I fully expect to be joining you with the '2011' is definitely going to be better thoughts. You too MamaC, why are you lurking, have I missed something?

Nix I really hope it's all fine for you. Was it you with friable cervix?

how are you?

youremindmeofthebaubles · 20/12/2010 14:31

Hello lovelies! I am a leetle playing catch up, and a leetle confuddled. Are piank and dancer having faint lines? Whoop and massive hugs and congrats to both, and apologies if i've missed anything!

HKB sorry you're down. I am not loving cycle 5, but on the upside the year is nearly done, and we can look forwards. Hope you feel a bit better today.

nix ((hugs)) my lovely, brown disharge not lovely, but try not to worry, just get down to EPU, bypassing the doctor, if anything changes. So difficult to do, but I demand of you not to worry! Are you feeling a bit better, ill wise? Ds is curled up on the sofa now with a bowl to be sick in, what is it about Christmas-time and Illness?

izz yey for your 2ww! That'll take you up to new year, hey? Got a good feeling for a new year bean for you.

wombat you seem happyXmas Smile. That's good.

I have spent most of this period drinking, and imagine it will continue till new year! I am going to knock it on the head completely in January, at least for 3 months, and see how it goes. Detox, here I come!

Is everyone else well? What do you all want/ getting for xmas? (apart from the obviousXmas Sad )
