The resurrection of the 6th form common room for those inbetweeners who are TTC/PG after mc and are too long in the tooth to fit anywhere else

[notsobarrenmorebrokenbrook]

The resurrection of the 6th form common room, a place to put your feet up, wallow in self pity (me) or rejoice (and tremble in fright) at new growing beans and baybees after mc. No lists. No stats. No babydust. No feeling bad if you can't keep up.

Go.

mummyA so sorry you have had a buggery day :(. And that as you say you have the weekend to fret :( :(.

Scans stuff: dachs I know from lurking on the other fred that you have had a fair bit of worry, so am admiring your mental place on your scan. You get a gold star. Nickster, more reassurance for you - smashing.

what else have I missed? Forgive me, am still ill and very old.

Think the evilness of red tide is imminent in UnJollsterLand which is a total fecker for a number of reasons.

1. It'll mean I won't be pg on due date for last MMC.
2. It'll mean I won't be pg on HUGE birthday in 2 weeks time.
3. It'll mean this is the longest I've tried for a BFP and not got one.

Off to immerse myself in Oyster Bay

jolls boo! for imminent RTD (although reminds jolls that RTD is not actually here yet so not to give up hope!). The landmarks are bloody hard

OTOH, oyster bay is not a wholly bad place to be

Well Buffs your tumbleweed has well and truly been dispersed now - its great to see such a lively wee thread again.

Mummy - pants. How disappointing just when you thought you were getting somewhere. Try not to get too down in the mouth until you've had some advice from your UK doc though.

YRMOTB my due date is 18th May, so a while to go yet! Still trying to get over my soppy self from yesterday, its the hormones!

Velevt have you been usurped from starting a new thread? (Shakes fist at well meaning newbies!!)

Ocht Jolls pal, might not be you know. Aint over til its over and remember it sometimes feels very similar. And pack it in with the deadlines lady - I know we've all done it but its absolute madness when we have no control over it. Away and saturate yourself in OB and see what the next few days bring.

Nicks and MamaP well done on the scan results today!! Great news lassies. When are you planning on going public Nicks?

Good luck again for tomorrow Dachs x x

Jolls oh fuck is it our birthday soon? I had forgotten that was creeping up. I so hope you are wrong about AF. Whats oyster bay? (I am thinking Cocktail, bubble bath or TV show? Am I close?) Sorry about your stats.

Izz yes I am afraid it was accurate - I kept my beady eye on him the whole time and made him do three measurements. Also he knows I send everything off to other doctors so he likes to do everything properly. Also its actually my second midcycle scan with crap measurements, last month I managed to convince myself that it was inaccurate because I went just after ov instead of just before, but this time my timing was spot on. I will try and not panic yet, mainly by staying in sweary mode as long as possible. Shit shit shit.

velvet just noticed that you got swizzled out of the thread starting thing! Not fucking fair!

Ah ha, so here you all are! I just had a nosey on the other thread and barely recognised anyone! Plus it feels so bliddy long since I mc now that I can barely remember all the details of my erpc etc. Think I may lurk in here now if that's ok?

AF due tomorrow and I think she's already sticking her pointy old nose around the door. Seem to have lost thermometer down back of bed and not even sure I can be bothered to rummage around to try and find it - the anticipated temp dive tomorrow morning is not something I really want to wake up to.

We celebrated two birthdays yesterday - dd turned 2 and my ovaries-- I turned 38 After a meltdown last month I've much more relaxed about the whole ttc thing now. This may be as a result of booking appointment with fertility clinic for middle of March (week before my due date - oh, the irony) and I've just completed first lot of fertility bloodwork with GP so feel like we're doing something proactive other than well, just swi in the middle of each month!

Big wave and long-lost-reunion-style hugs to everyone. Will try to catch up properly later, have to dash as am half way through making very hungry caterpillar cake for party tomorrow and covering every available surface in kitchen with bright green icing!! Also have dusting of icing sugar in hair which appears to be quite ageing!

Happy birthday for yesterday, and good luck with the caterpillar cake!! Booking appointments etc sounds a good step to take, although obviously I hope you're wrong about AF and don't need them x

mummya Oyster Bay make a particularly good Sauvignon Blanc...

glad you found us Happy Birthday! xxx

Izz mmmmmmmm proper wine how I miss the first world.

sorry youre ill pal x

Moo a couple of pals know, now! blardy obvious like! Avoiding our annual company conference last week with being at hosp where everyone would have clocked so i guess when i go to HQ this week peeeps will start to figure it out... still gonna let em guess!

Mm oyster bay bubbles... that would work

Morning!

I was a little :( about not getting to start a thread seeing as it has been lucky for lots of people but I have to remind myself that getting pg has nothing to do with mn!

Happy belated birthday Wiggle - there seem to be a lot of talented bakers around these parts. I am definately not one of them! My cakes always come out more like biscuits

Jolls how are you this morning? sorry if she got you, fx if not

and anyone else I have missed (there will defo be someone!)

Sooo I really don't want to be writing this but I have got to get it all out! You know I had finally got my head round not expecting to be pg, I havent been checking my chart everyday, just taking temps, putting them on ff and ignoring them, starting to enjoy life again etc etc.

Well my body is being frikking mean!! I'm either 8 or 10dpo (ff changed her mind but have 2 temp shifts 2 days apart) and my boobs have grown and are tingly, my norks (a nix word if I remember??) feel like they are gonna snap off, I'm crampy and I feel sick.

It's not just that though - I feel weird like I'm not really in my body and I had crazy rage yesterday but woke up crying this morning.

I had a really big temp dip yesterday and this morning its sky high!

Its definately not AF on her way coz I have a 17 day LP. It started yesterday so i dont know if thats too early for so many symptoms??

Sorry for the mememe and I know that these are all good signs but I really had gotten used to the idea that I was gonna be here forever and all was nice and calm and peaceful in my head! Now I'm thinking I must still be subconsciously crazy and these symptoms are all in my head??!!

Phew, that feels better

Oooh velvet that all sounds really promising. I'm torn between telling you not to poas just yet because it won't be reliable and just shouting "poas! Poas! Poas!" until you do

As for the thread-starting, I started the "lucky" thread just after Christmas and everyone seemed to get a bfp on it except me, so I think you've had a lucky escape

velvet that all sounds v promising Boobs don't grow unless there's a reason and there's only one reason

morning

Velvet I started a thread and got nada. Boo. Its good to let it all out. Sods law says that now we are not on the thread with the list we will all get BFP's

Anybody else want to be chart buddies? Whoever was asking, look at the top left corner to add a friend. I am finding FF less fun this month because dildocam told me when I was going to ovulate so there is not much guess work to be done. Although, I think I need any extra button in the "specific" section which says "binge drinking" to help me discard those misleading booze fueled temp jerks

Good symptoms v xx

Hi All - can I pop in the corner quietly? Have been missing you all and can't get my head around all the new names.

velvet I am completely with you. I am 9dpo and whilst I don't temp I am getting such strong symptoms - I cried on the tube yesterday when a group of 4 year olds popped on the tube, my boobs are aching, I have stretchy cm, I fell asleep in a cafe ... I am so worried I am just making it all up.

BTW. Oyster Bay is the affordable version of the somewhat overhyped Cloudy Bay from NZ. (not that I am an alcoholic or anything!)

Nix happy you are fat - in the nicest possible way!

Waves to all you wonderfully familar ladies!!

Hello AandR glad you came to join us! sounds like you and Velvet have got fab symptoms

I see over on the mother thread it looks like we are in danger of getting kicked off the list. Is anyone interested in keeping stats going over here?

xxx

Good idea putting it on a separate thread mummya I know there was a strong desire to keep lists off this one. I quite like the fact that I'm not automatically confronted with a statistical record of my ttc crapness as soon as I log on but there's somewhere I can go to see it all straight away when I want to

How are you feeling today anyway chica? Hope you're doing ok xxx

Fab symptoms btw aandr !

Thanks for all the birthday messages. The caterpillar cake was a success!

AF turned up right on cue in middle of party today (uninvited of course) but for first time in 6 months I didn't mind. One more cycle then hopefully a monitoring cycle from fertility clinic

Some great suspender worthy symptoms going on there velvet and aandr! Fingers crossed for both of you!

I'm glad there are no stats here - I lingered on my ownsome at the bottom of the last list just as all the bfps came in, twas rather lonely down there. I'll add myself to list on new thread though. Thanks Mummy

Lol posted this on wrong thread!! My brain isn't working!

aandr fx for you! I'm gonna try and forget about it now otherwise I'll be wishing the week away and will be more disappointed when af arrives! So take off the suspenders and forget I said anything! Glad you are too fat nix it gives me hope that I might be too someday.

mummya I'm up for having stats in another place so I'll update when I'm on my 'puter instead of phone.

Have a good Sunday all

Morning all

I have updated stats but it took me 3 attempts Sorry!

Hope you are all well ( special FX to aandr and velvet )

Would somebody have a gander at my chart FF still says I ov'd 11 days ago but I'm not convinced! Any ideas? x

Hello my love AR good to see you over here, i thought you had been left behind! /fab sounding symptoms... :) everything crossed

cant wait for you guys to get bfps x

I am fat, and proud but my definitive bump has deflated somewhat today after an evening of wind

Mummy how are you feeling now, did dr march comeback to you?

Hi Nix hi Izz Feeling shagged out actually. We started optimistically early in the cycle and are both now nearing the point of total exhaustion, and tomorrow is Valentines Day I am hoping to hear from the doc tomorrow. I asked the ladies in my AS group about their linings and got 10 replies from ladies all with thinner linings than me, 2 of whom are pregnant now, and one had a baby. Thats encouraging, but I still wish I had a thicker lining, it would just be one less thing to worry about.
I think my biggest fear is not infertility due to thin lining, but getting pregnant and suffering some huge complication with the placental attachment, which can happen at any stage of pregnancy. I just cant imagine how I would cope with something potentially going wrong through the whole nine months. But I guess I am not that worried, because I still want to try.

loola Hiya, your chart says three days now. Is that more the news you wanted?

getawiggle sorry about AF. Sods law says if you are booked in for fertility treatment you will get pregnant next month

Velvet I have done your stats for you.

erm, there is a lady called InnocentRedhead on there? Has someone name changed?
