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.

Hello peeps. How goes it?

mose sorry to hea your hcg still up. Fingers crossed it's just a slow burner like battery's was. Thursday, is it? Hope the evil boss is ok about it too.

Tomorrow is test day. Unless my temp drops in the am in which case I won't bother. They did drop slightly today although for the last few days before that I woke up feeling feverish, like hot and cold?! If it's a bfn I will take solace in my party and partake of some wine.

Just on the phone, so cant scroll back properly, so waves to all, including the germany massive, and a hug for ladybee. sleep tight all.

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 26/02/2011 21:58

I am stalking your chart yrmotb so will be hoping for some good news tomorrow Smile

According to SMEP I should start swi-ing tonight...although as I've abandoned all the other aspects of my regime this cycle I'm not sure I'll stick to SMEP anyway Grin

Youremindmeofthebabe · 27/02/2011 09:02

Temps dropped again, bfn again, fully expecting AF today. Fucking hate all this shit. Stupid long cycles what a waste of bloody time. Off for a run, hoping will get back in a better mood. I don't really want to cry at my own party.

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 27/02/2011 09:11

Oh yrmotb great big ((((hugs)))) coming your way Sad. It's not over yet obviously but you know your body...I just hate that feeling of inevitability at the end of the cycle...hope you're ok, going for run always great to clear the head so hope it brings some calm and zen. I really feel for you though, I was a complete wreck at cd1 this time and could barely face the thought of ttc any more, but fwiw I'm on cd9 now and do feel better again. If af does arrive, have you thought about joining me and battery in having a month off charting etc? It's quite liberating and just a big relief not to have to think about it first thing every sodding morning.

(if you don't mind though I will keep my fx a little while longer just in case xxxx Smile )

Velvetcu · 27/02/2011 11:12

yrmotb sorry the temps have dropped and that you are feeling low. I don't really know what to say because I know the "you will get there one day" from a diffder is really fricking annoying and doesnt help at all! Enjoy your party.

Izz glad you are feeling a bit better and liberated. Last cycle I had pretty much given up hope (hence the midcycle drinking session!) but carried on charting because I liked knowing when AF was coming.

I really really hope that you get your BFPs soon. I hated seeing people get theirs month after month and wondering why it wasnt me.

((((hugs)))) to all who need them, Wine and Biscuit to everyone else.

mummyabroad · 27/02/2011 12:36

YMOTB Really sorry the temps dropped.Sad Hope the run works to change your mood, and that you enjoy the party. Sending you a big hug xxxx

Hey BOA nice to see youSmile, come in and make yourself comfy. We have a stats list over here if you want to join in.

BackOnceAgain · 27/02/2011 20:31

Hey mummya thank you, I shall add myself soon... (and LOL at your specialist MM subject Grin )

yrmotb sorry about temps etc, even though I wasn't around and didn't know that Izzy or battery had a month off the temps but I did the same too this month.

Watching 'About a Boy' (again) on tv, love this film Smile

Youremindmeofthebabe · 27/02/2011 22:49

Fanks guys. Had lovely time, been v pissed. Meeting cycle 7 with less upset(ATM) xx

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 27/02/2011 22:57

Yay for the Wine yrmotb , glad it went well xxxx

BOA how are you finding the not temping? Do you think it's helping to not obsess too much?

batteryhen · 27/02/2011 22:58

Hello everyone :)

Am back home now - am clocking up some serious air miles!!

ladybee perhaps then cerezette is no good for you if it is going to turn you into a loon ? :) I agree with your thinking - if you are going to have more tests especially hormonal ones then you really shouldn't go on the pill - but you have some time to think things through xxx

izzy I am really enjoying not temping - although I am a bit grumpy about the fact I am paid up on fertility friend for 2 more months, however I still am finding it much more relaxing - not analysing every temperature.

babe hope AF isn't here and the temp drop was a one off. I know what you mean about the crapiness of it all. God almighty why can't we all just be pregnant, produce a lovely baby and live happily ever after?

So I am flying back to germany in 8 days time in order to cath the eggy. DP looked very Grin with the Mr Cockerel name. He read and re read his little waves and messages.Simple things ...... :)

Anyhow am off to bed now - work tomorrow. Dull of dullness :(

batteryhen · 27/02/2011 23:01

babe glad you enjoyed the Wine:)

I had several last night and woke up feeling very green and grim this morning x

randomimposter · 27/02/2011 23:09

Wave to all. x

randomimposter · 27/02/2011 23:10

forgot special fishy squeeze for YRMOTB x

Freezingmyarseoff · 27/02/2011 23:26

hello ladies, thanks for welcoming me back so to speak. It feels good to be chit chatting with you all again. Were else do you hear the term 'fanjo & dildocam' I love it Smile

ladybee I'm so sorry to hear your news. There's nothing I can really say but big hug to you. I'm thinking of you

mummyA glad the bloods going in the right direction

YRMOTB sorry about impending AF, it's always shite but glad you had fun at the party

Izzy hoping you had some fun last night Wink

Mouse HGC never does what you want, pants. I'm sorry

tony I just realised you used to be Tigger. Massive congrats on the double beans, I'm SO happy for you

I'm in need of some your straight talking. I just tested and I'm not due for another whole week Blush I've been getting lots of imaginary symptoms, even DH thinks it's all in mind. I just wasted my only test. I was desparately trying to save it but it just goes to show I can't keep any piss-sticks in the house.

Sorry I can't name check everyone this time but big waves to you all Jollster, Battery, Nickster, tunnocks, BB, Moo, wiggle, Ali and of course our newest recruit MrCockerel Grin

brokenbarrenbrook · 28/02/2011 06:44

at least last test has gone now, no more testing and driving yourself potty. I never keep tests in the house anymore purely for that reason. Hope you're doing ok x

YRMOTB Glad you enjoyed your party, hope your head's not too sore today

jollipops you drunken loon! Hope you had fun at your party too! How's the head?

bee hey you, good to see you (although clearly I wish you weren't here) glad you know we're all here for you.

mummya awesome that the bloods are doing what they should. Still keeping everything crossed for you x

D-Day appointment tomorrow morning and I don't mind admitting I'm slightly nervous!

Big hello to battery, izzy, moo, tunnocks, velvet, nicks, wiggle, mouse and TT and anyone else I might have missed.

Have a good day all x

randomimposter · 28/02/2011 07:58

who you calling a loon BBB? Actually DS repeatedly telling me there were still 2 stars on his Mr Sunshine sleep clock at 5.30am seemed to get rid of scare away my headache. Thinking of you about tomorrow - perfectly normal to be a bit apprehensive. Hope all goes well x

wave to all
must shake a leg and not sit on MN for too long this morning HmmBlush

AliTheMinx · 28/02/2011 09:33

waves to all and send huge hugs to everyone

Hope you are all doing OK? I'm just about to go to my GP appointment to tell her that I am pregnant (AGAIN!). It should be a happy time, but I am so damn paranoid that something will go wrong again afer 2 miscarriages last year. It's just so hard not to worry...

Today I am 6+1 and yesterday I had a few twinges, which scared the hell out of me. I am pretty sure it was just the normal pulling and tugging you feel, but I managed to convince myself something was wrong. I have an early scan booked for Thursday and am hoping all will be OK.

Sorry for moaning - but just wanted to let out my anxiety. The very few people who know are urging me to be positive, but when it's your body going through the changes it's hard just to switch off.... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

loola2shus · 28/02/2011 09:43

Hello everyone!

Sorry I haven't been about for a few days,I've been feeling a bit sorry for myself after annovulatory cycle and the thought of laparoscopy coming up.

Sad

The fact that I am now on 9th day of bleeding with no sign of it coming to an end is also peeing me off a tad Angry I lost 4.5lb last week at slimming world so at least that is going the right way Hmm

BB Good luck for tomorrow!

Belated Birthday hug for YRM

Battery I am sure I have seen a 'defer' option on FF so you could have them on hold rather than waste them? Then you can use them as a pregnancy tracker once you get your BFP Wink

MUMMYA Pleased the blood results were good your diffedness!

Best get some work done Wink

loola2shus · 28/02/2011 10:22

battery just found it.... how to Put ff on hold

AliTheMinx · 28/02/2011 12:18

Quick update... The advice from the doctor is to try hard to stay positive and literally just rest, rest, rest. No late nights or parties. Just work, home, and rest, so have cleared my diary for the next 6 weeks to give my baby the best possible chance!

LOVE TO ALL xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

mummyabroad · 28/02/2011 13:13

Morning everyone Smile

Ali glad your doctor has been helpful. Sounds like a great idea to treat yourself to some extra rest time, hope you have a big stash of DVD's at home to keep you occupied.Smile If its any consolation, you are not alone in your anxiety, I've started to feel horrible tension in my chest like the adrenaline rush you get before a big exam or something. I've had it for two days now and can only think its the fear worry of being pregnant again. Its very confusing because this is something I've wanted so much you would think I would just feel happy!Confused

Paranoid thought of the day - wonder if I should put FF on hold in case I lose this pregnancy and then need it again later?

loola thats very crap about the anov. cycle. Sad Is your laporoscopy a Lap + hysteroscopy? This should greatly increase your chances in the first few months after. Even better if you can combine it with meds to trigger ovulation straight after so you can take advantage of the cleaned out tubes and uterus.Have you looked into that? What is your lap for exactly? (sorry if you have said before, I cant remember) Well done with the weight lossGrin

Ladies who are not temping I went to chart stalk today and it was no fun because they are all empty! Hope you will make it up to me by providing lots of BFP's to celebrate at the end of the month WinkGrin

Freezing My view on tests in the house is that you should have none or a big cheap multipack so you can do one a day guilt free. GrinReading this will help you hold to till at least 13DPO

Battery your TTTC (transatlantic trying to concieve) efforts are really impressive. Fingers crossed this is the month xx

BB best of luck for the appointment xxx

LadyB I hope the ERPC was OK. How are you doing?

Big waves to Izzy YRMOTB Jolls BOA Velvet mouse and all the lovely lurkers xxxx

AliTheMinx · 28/02/2011 14:23

Oh bless you, mummyabroad Yes - my doctor is LOVELY and I have big stash of DVDs and programmes to watch on iplayer at the ready! I am quite good at relaxing and watching tv, so hopefully I won't find it too hard. My DH is being great, and has offered to help around the house and with the cooking more.

Sorry to hear about the tension in your chest - I had the same yesterday - after I was worrying about the twinges! Am sure it's all stress related.... You're right, we want to be happy, but I think the fear of something going wrong just clouds our ability to enjoy our pregnancies in these early days. I just hope and pray we will both be OK.

Hopefully as things progress we will start to relax a bit. Thinking of you and sending lots and lots of love your way. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Freezingmyarseoff · 28/02/2011 17:49

Mummy thanks for that link. I promise not to test again until next Monday. Actually I feel much better about things now I've got that test out of the way, I can function properly again & of course my queasy feeling have gone away. Fancy that.

batteryhen · 28/02/2011 21:05

ali

Thanks for the linky :) I have suspended my account and have saved a few pennies xxx

Quick wave to everyone - just a quick pop in as I am watching the biggest loser :) xx

Hi everyone; have got to get off MN and tidy this bombsite. Toys everywhere, cat hair galore and yet more washing to process. Jeez there's only 3 of us, how do big families cope?!
