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

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 oh good, so glad it's stopped. how long till dh comes home?

batteryhen · 24/02/2011 19:35

Hello all. Feel a bit better now - have been to the shops and brought things to improve my uterine lining --- my fridge is stocked with pineapple juice, brazil nuts and other such goodies - and a blueberry muffin Blush

mummy thank you for the PMs - glad your bleeding has stopped too - fingers crossed its little bean making itself comfy xx

mouse Sorry you are feeling sad - these days are shit aren't they?

izzy think I am exactly where you were last weekend :(

Thanks for all the kind words everyone - Think I might ask my mum to come with me next week but might ask her to wait outside - I don't want her to see my foof! Blush

mummyabroad · 24/02/2011 19:54

battery Also good for lining: 1000mg Vitamin E, red raspberry leaf tea and bromelain (its the stuff that is in pineapples). There is a hotly raging debate about baby aspirin too. (very confusing if you google, some say only AFTER BFP because it might prevent implantation but others say it helps lining Confused)

re drugs: Ignore anyone who wants you to go on the pill, that THINS the lining as does Chlomid. Estrace (estrogen) thickens linings and so does Pentoxifylline and Tamoxaphen. Some AS doctors also prescribe Viagra pessaries but Dr March doesnt think that this actually works. Just so you have a bit more info for your next appointment! xx

Glad you're mum is going with you.

mummyabroad · 24/02/2011 19:54

cep its 2pm here now, he is back at 5.30

batteryhen · 24/02/2011 20:02

Thanks mummy - have seen the baby aspirin thing - think I might take it up unil OV and see if that helps - It cant make things worse!

Freezingmyarseoff · 24/02/2011 22:27

MummyA. Thinking of you, I really hope it is implantation bleeding

tonythetyger · 25/02/2011 07:59

Hi barren - just popped in to say hello. Who are you seeing at St Mary's? I saw Mr Magarra - was a bit so,so. A friend recommended Miss Webber and I was about to attend a private appointment with her when I had to cancel it(1stly for flu, 2ndly for bfp).

Holidays are a good idea. Have you bought any expensive tight clothes recently? A colleague of mine insists that is how she managed to conceive. When she told me this (I was not pg at the time) I thought Envy EnvySad why isn't it happening to me. Then I got an expensive Gerard Darel suit in the sales, wore it for about 8 weeks and it is now too tight........

Not foolproof but at least you have the nice clothes/holiday whatever happens.

Good luck with the appointment.

Youremindmeofthebabe · 25/02/2011 08:44

Morning all.

Hope everybodys well. All ok here, I am 10 dpo and consequently POAS'd as it would have been a nice bday treat. Unfortunately it was negative, but I still got to open cards and a couple of pressies. Looking forward to spending some time with my pal today and getting a takeaway for tea.

mummya how are you this morning? Are you having numbers taken again today?

zam nice to see you, how are you doing?

bb and battery hope you're both feeling a bit better today.

Waves to all, jolls freezing mouse velvet ali and all the diffed.

mummyabroad · 25/02/2011 12:38

YouRemindMeOfTheBirthdayBabe HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Grin Grin Grin Hope you have a lovely day. I got my super feint line at 11DPO, so if you are anything like me you might find out some good news tomorrow!

I'm feeling good, temps still upGrin, no bloodGrin and I am off to the clinic again today to get bloods taken for the second timeGrin. I broke the news to DH last night, but gave him far too much detail, totally confused him to the point where he thinks we are going to find out for sure when I get the blood results back later todayHmm He'll catch up soon I am sure Grin

brokenbarrenbrook · 25/02/2011 14:13

Hello all, mummya you gave me a scare there but thankfully nowe ive caught up I'm glad to see all is well

Tony good to see you love, how are you and the double beans doing? no idea who I'm seeing yet, I guess I won't find out til Tues.

YRMOTB Happy Burfdee to Yoooooooou!! Gosh, it's Birthdaytastic around here at the mo! Sorry about the BFN but as mummya says maybe you should try again tomorrow! Have a fab day chick x

Feeling bit brighter today but I think that's down to having beasted myself at the gym for a couple of hours this morning and my new (second hand) DSLR camera has arrived, I am so excited it's here!

Waves to everyone else xxx

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 25/02/2011 14:37

bb glad you're feeling a bit better - don't blame you for having pre-appointment nerves/despondency, but hopefully it will give you some answers or options...

Happy birthday YRMOTB !!!! 10 dpo is far too early, but you know that! Hopefully your BFP is just waiting a couple more days so you can enjoy some guilt-free birthday Wine Grin

mummya pleased to hear bleeding has stopped, keeping everything crossed that you get confirmation today that all is well and you can relax a little and enjoy your weekend xx

battery the start of the cycle is grim, however I think I must be about cd7 now and am definitely feeling better. This has been helped by going over to my sister's for a couple of days - she has also had a terrible time with mcs and ep, but has just invested in a new puppy, who is absolutely gorgeous and definitely good for stress levels!!

I think I forgot to wave to freezing - sorry!

tony hope all is well with yourself and the double beans. I think I'm testing your friend's theory at the minute - last week booked a 2.5 week camping holiday in August (in a tent - I don't "do" tents!) that will be completely uncomfortable if I am big and pg, and also spent lots of money on fitted size 10 clothes from Monsoon. Surely I have tempted diffment enough?! Grin

Anyway, hope you're all having a good Friday. DS has gone to a sports afternoon at school and DD is at a friends so I am having an unexpectedly peaceful afternoon. I really should go for a run but it's started to rain, so that's not going to happen Smile

tonythetyger · 25/02/2011 14:41

Thanks for the good wishes. Still feeling exhausted but next scan is not till 12 weeks so I'm just praying they're still in there.

Izzy - camping is my nightmare pg or not, I hope it works for you.

BB- I hope you get someone you like on tues. Take lots of reading material as well, the wait is never good, although twice I was out of there by 9.15/30.

nickstermum · 25/02/2011 14:54

AliTheMinx · 25/02/2011 15:48

nickstermum Your comment made me laugh out loud!!!! I was thinking JUST the same thing...!!! xxxxxx

getawiggleon · 25/02/2011 15:52

Afternoon ladies and happy birthday to YRMOTB Don't think I've ever known his many February frolickers in my whole life!

Mummy Good luck with HCG, hope your numbers are rising nicely. Grin at your DH not quite 'getting' the good news after all the info!! My DH asked me what day it was in bed the other day and I replied '12'. He meant is it Weds or Thurs.

Nicks Don't go worrying yourself about those funny little words, especially not in your condition Smile

Izzy Glad you're feeling better, lovely. Amazing how a few days can bring a whole new wave of optimism.

BB New camera sounds fab. I'd love a SLR but despite actually being quite creative/artistic I'm absolutely shit not very good at taking photos. I've often wondered if a good camera would make me take better snaps though Hmm

battery I love the word 'foof' May have to adopt that over fanjo from now on.

Ok, so I'm very Confused here today. Two negative OPKs yesterday on CD13 (latest one at midnight was almost there though) Then temperature up this morning Hmm So, I peed on two different sticks this afternoon (both internet cheapies, just different ones). The brand I'd been using yesterday gave a clear negative and the other brand gave a strong positive. WTF??

I know the obvious advice would be to keep swi but our attempts this morning were scuppered when DH struggled to perform beacause a) he was late for work and b) DD had woken up next door and was in her cot shouting "Go, go, Gobo" (She likes Gobo the goat from Big Barn Farm) It didn't help that I said she was cheerleading him. I seem to be quite good at killing the moment.

How can two different OPKs give to such opposite results?! Starting to wonder if the original batch is duff. Duff diff sticks?! (I usually ov day 13/14)

batteryhen · 25/02/2011 16:54

wiigle - your post made me laugh 'go go gobo??!! No wonder your poor DH had trouble this morning Grin

izzy - I am a fair weather runner too. I say that like I am Paula Radcliffe or someting - I use 'run' very loosley. More like 'limp'.

Just a quick hello as I am off to the airport flying out to see DP- a nice weekend of drinking wine and being pampered :)

I am also not charting this month - I know when I ov so just relying on good old shagging (and Ryan Air) to get me up the duff :)

Happy Friday everyone xx

CaribouMoo · 25/02/2011 17:43

Nicks I think its a typo from BB but it made me snigger because beasting is another term for shagging - on the East coast of Scotland at least. So it brought forth images of very inappropriate activities down the gym, especially beasting yourself! Maybe what she means is that she beat her previous best? This is coming from someone that's never set foot inside a gym though...

Now I'm having another laugh at Wiggles post too!! Those have right cheered me up - thanks girls! I'm still miserable with the cold and a seal barking cough so needed a wee laugh x

mousebacon · 25/02/2011 17:59

Hey ladies, just a quick one. HCG results are 286 - way higher than they should be so the docs have got me an appointment at the hospital for another fanjo cam. I really hope it's not molar Sad

brokenbarrenbrook · 25/02/2011 18:13

Ha ha, beasting is terminology for making yourself work very hard. Think it stems from military / police types and having grown up in 40 commando territory it's part of my language. Soz. I didn't (unfortunately) get shagged down the gym Grin

mouse when's dildocam? (I can't believe my phone recognises that word!) did the drs say anything to suggest molar?? Hope you're doing ok.

wiggle I'm laughing alot at go go gobo!!!! Your poor DH! Him thinking his daughter was cheering him on while giving Mummy a good seeing too probably didn't help! Sorry for laughing! As for camera, I'm crap at taking photos too but was on a course a few weeks back with work that had a photography input and I caught the bug. However I thought starting off with an entry level 2nd hand camera a bit more sensible than forking out a fortune on a new one. They do take better pictures and you can manually focus so get the blurry background arty type shots.

brokenbarrenbrook · 25/02/2011 18:15

And moo sorry you're feeling poorly, glad we made you laugh (hopefully not wee yourself though!) Get well soon xxx

nickstermum · 25/02/2011 18:36

Ha ha beasting round my neck of the woods is more to do with animals!!!! But of course Bb that is not what you meant ha ha:) xx
