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.

Forgot to say big squeeze for battery. CD1 is truly rubbish My af has got heavier in months since mc too (was v light initially) so I think of it as a good thing. Fingers crossed for next cycle x

What a day, its a triple celebration now! Two birthdays and a BFP, I'm SO chuffed for you Mummy. You've really been through the ringer and even be so worried the last few days about your Ashermans, this really is the bestest news! Wishing you all the best and some very boring months ahead. Well done you x

Battery I can't believe that for you, i honestly thought you were on to a winner with that chart. Glad you're keeping your chin up though and have a plan in place.

Great big happpy birthday to you Jollsipops - hope you're a bit sozzled and having fun x

Mouse that's good that you are being checked out, hope it works out for you.

I am feeling very ill and sorry for myself today. Got a horrible cold, complete with aches and sweats, snotters flying out of me! Had to leave a meeting I was chairing toady in front of over 20 people because I thought I was going to pass out. I am such a wuss without pills, some ibuprofen or cold and flu and I can normally soldier on.

Just read about Ladybee so sad to hear her news. Its so bloody unfair, I can't make sense of it. Life is so cruel at times.

battery sorry she got you cd1 is crap, drink lots of and get through it, cd2 is better!

I'm so sorry to have read ladybee's news - have posted on t'other thread but am thinking of you. Sometimes life can just be so f*cking cruel xxx

Quick post from work - have also posted on the other thread for ladybee - how can life be so cruel sometimes?

Hope everyone is ok - work is crap right now - had a row with the boss yesterday - he really is a knob idiot. Not what I need right now. x

Brilliant news about your levels ma

So sad for bee today, such a lovely lady

Hello, I'm shuffling over as down in the dumps re TTC (CD2 today) and most of the ladies from t'other thread are here....
Am initiating a full-on mega plan to get a BFP this cycle after an unheard of 32 day cycle (poss anovulatory):
Grapefruit juice
Soy isoflavones today-CD6
EPO till ov
100mg B6
SMEP starting day 8 (but minus the OPK's)
SFF as much as poss

DH away 31st March to 12 April then my Dad coming to stay till 29th, so not much action then.

Off to to the health food shop...

PS As this is the 6th form common room we need the appropriate music - on cassette of course - any suggestions?
{my 6th form common room was v odd on that front - Iron Maiden, Meatloaf & UB40 spring to mind }

Hey Zam sorry you are feeling down. I also did brazil nuts last cycle for what it's worth.

Battery sorry your boss is being a dick. What's his problem?

mummya how are you? What did DH say?

I had a row with DH this morning - I told him I was finding it really hard to get through each day and he just laughed and said that I always like to make a meal out of things!!

I'm on a mission today to do all of my planning for the whole of next term I had better get started soon!

Hi Zam sorry you are feeling down too. How long have you been trying for now?

Velvet Big Hug for you. if men got pregnant things would be so different. I am not the best in the world for DH advice but when pregnant with DS I persuaded DH to sign up for weekly pregnancy updates from www.babycentre.co.uk, it helped a lot. I wish I had done it sooner because until then he was just under the impression that the first trimester was the easiest because the baby was smallest

So... my news today is that I chickened out of telling DH I couldnt really find the right moment and I had my therapists words ringing in my ears that I should consider getting used to the idea myself before telling him... so I just left it!! Ooops. Feels wierd now.

Bee if you are around, please know that you can chat to us over here anytime xxx

freezing hello love, good to see you x

bee I echo mummya we're here if and when you need us, thinking of you x

zam welcome, sorry you are fed up, hopefully we can help cheer you up.

mummya totally get where you are coming from about not telling DH, you give yourself as much or a little time as you need before breaking the news, he will be happy whenever you tell him, you'll know when the right time is. I'm hugely impressed you managed to keep quiet though, I'm crap and blab at the first opportunity!

Yet another colleague has just announced she's pregnant, I'm so numb to it all now it hardly registered and I don't think I actually said anything, I just walked away there was a group of us so I don't think she noticed as everyone was gushing congratulations.

This time next week we will have had our consultation with St Mary's and know if they have picked up on anything with the blood tests. I then have the HSG to contend with the following week and then I reckon we'll have an idea what we are actually dealing with. My periods seem to be getting lighter and this cycle turned up 3 days earlier than normal. Slightly despondent today and thinking that at 35 and DH at 42 it's never going to happen for us

oh I forgot to say hello to Freezing sorry! Nice to see you again

BB I am normally a blabber - I surprised myself. I hate those pre appointment nerves, but it sounds like you are getting closer to lots of answers. Blood test + HSG covers a lot of potential issues, hopefully something very treatable will be uncovered and you will be on your way to BFP shortly after (getting a diagnosis is much more time consuming and agonising than getting treated honest) and at least the HSG information is pretty instant. Can you ask for a CD of the images so that you have the option of getting them reviewed by other doctors if you want to at a later stage? xxx

mummya I hadn't even thought of asking, but that sounds like a good idea, thanks! I also hadn't put my despondency down to pre appointment nerves, (more to one too many Leffe beers last night! ) but you've probably hit the nail on the head again there. I don't know what I want them to say / do, well I do but I don't think a magic pregnancy pill exists!

How are you doing anyway newly updiffed lady?

Hello everyone

bb am also feeling despondant. I have a hysteroscopy booked on wedneday to find out where the hell my periods are. I am having periods but really light, so am off to have them investigated.

Had a bit of a meltdown at work today, I could reel off the top of my head about 10 friends that are pregnant, and it's just really taking its toll on me :(

I feel that if I could only be pregnant by my due date then I would feel better but I just cant see that happening now:(

I feel so alone,DP abroad and I have no-one to go with me to the hospital next week as everyone is at work :(

Sorry for me post, just am completely miserable :( xx

BatteryHen I just wanted to send you huge hugs and say I am thinking of you. I've had 2 miscarriages and seem to be surrounded by pregnant friends who are sailing through with no problems - it's SO hard!

I am actually pregnant again, but VERY scared as super early days - 5+4. Paranoid as hell that something will go wrong again...

It's such a worrying time for us all, isn't it.

I'm so sorry that you think you'll have to go to the hospital on your own - is there ANYONE who can go with you?

Much love XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

batteryhen sorry you are feeling rubbish. I really wanted to be pg by my dd too but once that date came and went things got a lot easier for me. At least you know that on Wednesday you can start to sort things out. Almost all of my friends are pg or have just given birth too. It's just pants when it isnt you and they are all chatting happily about it in front of you.

barrenbrook I love Leffe (especially the dark one) and have 2 sitting in my fridge which I bought ready for what I thought was a certain bfn last Friday. Good luck with your appointment. Listen to mummya she knows everything :)

mummya how did you not tell?? I woke DH up by waving a peestick with a very faint line under his nose - his reposnse was "I cant even see you how am i supposed to see that!".

battery Just PM'd you. How awful to go on your own! It really is the kind of thing that is best done with some company, even if its someone who sits outside when the procedure is done and helps get you quickly to a nice cup of tea and choccie biccie when its all over. Do you have to travel far to do it. After my HSG I felt a bit weak at the news for a an hour or so and was glad of a lift home.

So now I wished that I had told DH and will tell him as soon as he gets home from work. I am bleeding and having crampy period pains right bang on when AF is due. I know that it could still be alright, implantation etc, and AS itself is often responsible for bleeding in pregnancy blah blah, but I have a gut feeling this is a chemical pregnancy (really crampy and there is stringy clotty bits). Will go and get bloods done tomorrow so I dont have to wait and wonder, I would do it today, but if there is a 48 hour gap between the two tests I'll get much better info. Glad that this didnt happen on my birthday anyway, at least I had a whole day enjoying being pregnant!

Oh mummyabroad I am soooo sorry to hear you are bleeding, and just wanted to say you are in my thoughts.... xxxxx

(but as you say, it may still be OK. I am hoping and praying.....xxxx)

Big soft hug for battery

mummya hugs for you too. Such a worrying time, really hoping it's implantation.

Oh mummya I am so hoping this is implantation, or breakthrough bleeding (I've had both so I know it can happen and be ok)...this must be such a worrying time for you . I will be thinking of you and keeping everything crossed that it works out ok tomorrow. Big (((hugs))) xxxx

(((hugs))) to battery too - sounds like you are where I was last weekend and it's not fun xx

Just quickly ... ((( mummya ))) FX its just implantation x

Sorry its a read and run, I am supposedly supervising dcs eating tea but I am secretly MNing xxx

Mummya fx for you. Thinking of you, I'm sure it will be fine xx

Oh no, big squeeze mummya I hope it's all ok for you. You too battery sorry you have to do the appointment on your own.

My bloods weren't back today so have to wait until tomorrow now. The receptionist got mixed up and said 'so you've had 2 tests but you're bleeding? I'm sure it'll be ok' so I had to explain... I know she was just trying to be helpful but

Feel sad tonight

bleeding stopped! Feeling a bit now for completely abandoning the positive mental attitude I promised myself I would adopt. Getting all panicky 1 day in to the pregnancy - whoops, this could be a long road ahead

Anyway, at least it helped me decide to hurry up and tell DH I dont want to go through all this worry on my own!

mouse I feel for you with the receptionists getting the wrong end of the stick. I got contratulated by well meaning administration people lots of times when recovering from my mmc FX your numbers are good. xx
