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.

Crap need to step away from google, normal FSH is less than 10, mine is 9.8 - arse!!!! Bit close for comfort!!!

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 22/12/2010 19:08

pink sorry lovely X posts. So glad you feel proactive, and you know what how many items of clothing would that £500 squids get you?! Money well spent i say and you know what, how empowering!!!! Good on you girlie!
Sorry AF is SHIT! FFS i am cross for you too, but it will come, i know it!

I was tested for HIV when i was pg1 and it was negative (but i did shit myself...cos you just never, ever know!) and they asked me again this time (never got that far last time!) and i refused... apparently they can refer you to a consultant as its irresponsible not to test now.... how bizarre! needless to say i will be tested again, assuming of course we get there!

Just think you can get twatted drunk on christmas day now lovely xxx

kat2504 · 22/12/2010 19:08

Orange don't feel silly, I never do temping, tried it for a few days but is too much to keep up with. You may not have ovd when the tests suggest or you may have done. For future reference try pant snot investigation if you don't temp. Once it goes back to thick and white you can assume you ovd the day before. Easier in my opinion.
This ttc is utter crap at times.

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 22/12/2010 19:09

PINK STEP AWAY FROM THE GOOGLE!

orestyemerrywombat · 22/12/2010 19:14

Pink you are worrying too much (and that's something coming from me), so I'm going to state the obvious for you: 9.8 IS LESS THAN TEN Xmas Grin Xmas Grin [frgin]

MamaChristmas · 22/12/2010 19:50

ha ha ha ha wombat very funny but so true... Pink I'm gonna have to fish slap you, Christmas or not!!! hee hee, love ya really xx

orestyemerrywombat · 22/12/2010 20:09

I find it so much easier to be sensible when it comes to other people. Can't think why... Xmas Hmm Xmas Grin

Pink my comment above comes with lots of hugs and a calming mug of hot choc too. I am a worrier too [Wombat states the obvious for a second time] but I think your result sounds reassuring. Please try not to worry xxx

incidentally, does the £500 cover the next lot of tests and the mid cycle scan too? I might be tempted if it does...

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 22/12/2010 20:19

pink if you need help interpreting the results why dont you log onto Recurrent Buns thread? I am a resident lurker, but they have lots and lots of knowledge on test results etc etc.... might help to put your mind at rest a bit....

Now, turn off google!! theres a good girl Xmas Grin

youremindmeofthebaubles · 22/12/2010 20:21

Hola my lovelies.
It's all going off here, isn't it? I have spent the day arsing about with my iphone and trying to find decent apps and downloading a random tv episode of ben10 for ds.

Sorry about the CP's dancer and pink. It's totally wap. Glad you got started on the tests, you'll have to explain me the ins and outs of each test, I am flummoxed!

izz glad you're ok,the lantern thing sounded lovely. Nice to mark the occasion somewhat. I feel a bit like i'm resting easier now after mine. Pressure's off, gonna have a lovely xmas and new year, and we can start our detox, with anyone who wishes to join, in January! But maybe not til Monday 3rd, as it feels psychologically much better than 1st! (to me, anyway!)

mamac Glad you didn't really go anywhere, it's always ace having you around. Xmas Smile

daschs hope you have a nice time away. I am having last day of work tomorrow and then off to IL's on Friday AM. I can't beleive i'll have to manage without internet for a weekXmas Shock unless I can work out my iphoneXmas Grin

mummya am very jealous! I could do with some sun.

nixxxx Are you feeling better a bit now then? Glad you have felt a bit nauseaous. it helps in your head doesn't it?!

Waves to wombat loola ladybee and everyone else!

MamaChristmas · 22/12/2010 20:26

Hey Baubles, I was so bored today I downloaded the Robbie Williams app... song lyrics on demand and with the voice of an angel I shall sing away, la la la!!!

mousebacon · 22/12/2010 21:24

Hi ladies i've been lurking since my bfp as I started bleeding/spotting at about 5 weeks. I had an early scan where they could see no reason for the bleed and the yolk sac was there which was a good sign. The spotting stopped but has come back again, heavier this time.

Anyway, I'm booked in for my follow up scan tomorrow morning and I think it will be bad news so am bracing myself for needing you lovely ladies all over again.

I know the won't test after 2 mc but I think 2 in 3 months is reason enough to ask them to swab me for infection at the least don't you think? Can't believe I'm going to spend xmas day miscarrying.

I think I talked myself into this one not working out so am not as distraught as I was last time.

Sorry for the mememe and I suppose there is a chance it's good news but I think it's unlikely now.

Mouse xx

mousebacon · 22/12/2010 21:25

PS I'm 7+3 today x

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 22/12/2010 22:06

mouse its not all over lovely xxxx will look out for you tomorrow. a lady on the newly diffed thread reported that she was bleeding clots, went for a scan thinking it was all over and hey presto theres a heartbeat!! I hope thats you too hon x

I hope you dont MC and i certainly hope you dont on christmas day xx Everything crossed for you xx

MamaChristmas · 22/12/2010 22:28

Mouse you will be in my thoughts all day until we hear from you.... stay strong and hopefully it'll be good news. xxx

RudolfThePinkNosedReindeer · 22/12/2010 22:38

Hehehehe thanks for the fishy slaps - I think I deserved them!!!! Xmas Confused You are all so lovely Xmas Grin this is the sort of sense that poor old DH spends all day, every day, trying to talk into me so he'll be very relieved there are some other people taking up the strain!! I have stepped away from Google -if the clinic says they're fine, they must be fine, right??? Xmas Grin I can't believe I'm such a weirdo - if I wasn't worrying, I'd be worried about why I wasn't worrying about something..... I'll let you know how much the other tests and scans cost (I have a sneaking suspicion that more cash will need to be parted with, but hey, I've started now......)

mamac you can't seriously tell me you needed an app to know the lyrics - you know them all already, you know you did Xmas Grin

dachs I'll be thinking of you on Christmas Eve, work buddy! I should be able to get out early with any luck so I can't really complain, plus I'm only there because I frittered away all my holiday earlier this year!!!

baubles sign me up for club detox, I've really let myself go these last couple of weeks as I keep thinking "well, Christmas is round the corner and it's not like I'm going to diet over Christmas so what's the point now...." Xmas Hmm Ps. I have no idea what the tests tell me either but I'm just keeping everything crossed they'll tell me it's all ok and I should stop being a weirdo and chill out. Fx. Also, from talking to colleagues, apparently if they do find something wrong, most stuff can be fixed one way or another so either way, hopefully it will be ok. Hope you get the iphone figured out! Have a lovely time with ILs!

nix I have to agree I felt a bit weird about being tested for HIV Xmas Confused - not nice.

orange definitely don't feel silly, think we've all been there. Before I started with the shag dictator, temping and all the other mentalling, I assumed that I ov'ed on day 14, cos that's what all women do, right?? Xmas Blush So when AF didn't rock up on day 28, 29, 30........35, 36 etc. I spent about £1,000,000,000 on pee sticks until I discovered a few cycles later that my cycles had moved out to 35ish days post MC.... At least you had the help of the pee sticks to guess when you ovulated instead of just assuming like me. kat's EWCM advice is great, and that's also what TCOYF says- the book puts more emphasis on that than anything (oh and by the way, the book thinks that OPKs are rubbish and shouldn't be used, don't know why she thinks that though.)

mousey really sorry you're having such a worrying time. I really hope scan gives you good news. Sometimes when I'm feeling strong I lurk around the miscarriage threads to see if I can help anyone, and the main thing I've learned is that sometimes, like nickers says, there can be lots of blood and clots and it still work out fine so please try not to assume the worst just yet. If if the worst happens, I would definitely go to your GP, cry and make a big fuss (sorry to be cynical but nothing much ever gets done unless they worry about your state of mind, it seems to me) and tell them that you want to be swabbed for infections and that you want blood tests for Rubella, thyroid function etc.etc.etc. I did this and GP was more than happy to oblige (probably mainly to get me out of their office, but hey) and then you can get piece of mind either way. Let us know how you get on tomorrow honey xx

Night all - any of you that are on bookface may have noticed from my excessive ranting that my commute is a bit trying at the moment so need to get some sleep to get my strength up to do battle again tomorrow!! Thanks again for all your help, you ladies are all LOVELY mwah mwah

DontEatOrangeSnow · 22/12/2010 23:13

Thanks everyone [sheepish emoticon]

LadybeenKissingSantaClaus · 22/12/2010 23:26

Evening ladies - am in bed with phone just caught up with all the goings on. I'm so sorry pink and a&r that must feel very cruel and disappointing (again).
orange I think you can only wait and hope and we're right here hoping for you.
mousey I hoped that spotting would clear up for you. If it is bad news (and I really hope it isn't) even though you've been talking yourself down on this one, don't be surprised if it hits you differently/worse. Is dh going with you?

Sorry just a quick one tonight.

HongKongSantaBaby · 23/12/2010 05:40

Good morning all, how is everyone today?

A&R how are you today? Sorry about your disappointment yesterday, really feel for you.

Pink fab news that test results so far have come back good

Nix goodness sounds like you've really been through the mill, glad you seem to have turned a corner. I am sure bean is fine, they can be tough little buggers.

Mouse sorry you are going through this difficult time. Agree with others that bleeding does not mean its all over (had heaps of bleeding with my successful pregnancy and baby was fine). Hang in there, keeping my fingers x'd for you.

Can't believe its Christmas Eve tomorrow, how the heck did that happen? Hopefully Christmas festivities will take all our minds of TTC, at least a bit anyway. I have just managed to splash my face with boiling water whilst attempting to cook a Christmas gammon though. Not exactly Nigella.

I will leave some festive Baileys here for you all as I have discovered it is in fact the cure for all life's woes.

DontEatOrangeSnow · 23/12/2010 05:59

Morning HKSantaBaby gammon sounds nice, I love it with eggs for breakfast Xmas Grin Mmmm Baileys, it must be Christmas. Must try and get festive!

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 23/12/2010 09:14

HOW MANY SLEEPS TIL SANTA COMES?!?!?!?!!!?!

WOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Ok Ok probably none, cos he doesnt exist, right?! Xmas Grin Thought i would try and sprinkle some cheer around the place x

Its christmas time ladies, its christmas eve tomorrow..... that means lots of time off work for most people!! (my last day 'working at home' today, meaning i get my christmas presents wrapped, washing and ironing and tidying up done....oh ok and a little systems testing!! Sssh dont tell anyone!!

Feeling a ton better, although still left now with a horrid cold, and aching from collar bones upwards where the hacking cough is so painful :( my immune system has disappeared!! THE BLACK DEATH is hanging around our house, its like the paupers place, stay away peeps unless you want to fall sick with the plague!! Golly, dramatic today or what!!

Appetite came back yesterday, thankgoodness. If it wasnt for the entire sack of oranges i devoured whilst ill i think i would have wasted away!!

Pink well done for being so positive !, &AR* how are you this morning?! OK ish i hope xx
mouse thinking of you lovely x
orange if you have a 37 day cycle its possible you didnt ov until day 22/23? Did you get EGnogCM later as well? I was getting EGnogcm several times during the month which was screwing my sanity up!!
HK morning, hows the weather over there?! Hopefully a bit warmer than here!!

lady i think a quickie is the better of them all.. get the swimmers and you can carry on watching TV later.....gosh did i really say that outloud?! Hehe!

Waves to everyone else xx

RudolfThePinkNosedReindeer · 23/12/2010 09:19

Hehe lady did you try that line on DH??? Xmas Grin

Waves to HK cooking a gammon is very domestic goddess-like! Although i agree, facial burns are less than ideal!!! Have you got lots of family coming over for Christmas?

orange fingers crossed you're wrong and the witch stays well away!!

aandr I'm thinking of you hun, how are you doing?

mousey also thinking of you lots, everything crossed tightly for you xx

RudolfThePinkNosedReindeer · 23/12/2010 09:23

Hahahahahhhahaha nix you are fab. LOVE your thoughts on quickies-let's face it, it's what we've all been thinking!! Xmas Grin really nice to hear you sounding almost back to your normal self! Huge hugs from your twin :) xx

DontEatOrangeSnow · 23/12/2010 09:29

Nix so glad you're feeling a bit better at last, most people have half days if in work anyway Xmas Grin made me laugh about Black Death! DH is ill in bed all week, and I may be buying my own present this year

My pre-cycle length is 35, I got OPK+ CD13 and good EWCM the same time, then carried on testing until CD23 (I think) just in case as I didn't believe it could be a week early. Last month I got OPK+ CD22/23. TMI but I've had loads of creamy-white CM for the last week. I honestly will just be relieved either way - preferably before Xmas Xmas Grin

Not that I'm restless, been up since 4.30, trawling the internet, and hanging around MN..ahem Xmas Blush

DontEatOrangeSnow · 23/12/2010 09:33

Thanks Pink I am literally expecting her today. How are you doing today? Hopefully xmas will take your mind of things if only for a few minutes

LoveBeingADaddysGirl · 23/12/2010 09:34

Morning all ladies

Hope you all have a lovely xmas and here's to the new year being a good one for us all.
