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.

oh mouse just rest up as much as you can. I'm glad your union is going to back you up. Well done for phoning them. hug and a squeeze for you

And hugs to A&R and Wiggle*

BB I agree with MummyA, you must do what you feel right regards the trials.

Welcome ZamMummy

How are you feeling today MummyA?

LadyBee how are you too? Hope you did do something fun at the weekend.

Well this month and probably the next few are out for me, been put on oral antibiotics after the IV ones in hospital, and they're not good for getting pregnant. Plus I need to have a x-ray in a couple of months to check my chest infection is all cleared up and it's probably best that I go ahead with that so if you don't mind I'll join jolls and BB in the corner with the OBSB. I'll bring some canapes - thinking pate, stinky cheese, sushi. Oh bugger it I'll just go straight for a strong G n'T

Waves to Chloe, Ali, Tigger, Moo, Izzy, Battery, YRMOTB, Loola, Pinkie and all xx

x posts, great news MummyA

I'm still trying to work out what SMEP stands for? Any suggestions?

Hey Freezing meant to post this last time you asked but I forgot,

Its the Sperm Meets Egg Plan

Hope the antibiotics get your sorted out quickly. Get well soon xxx

Mouse - glad to hear you've got support.

Waves briefly to everyone else.

(((mouse)))) :( sorry for your neverending shitty sitituation, both in hosp and at work :(

BB have already commented, do whats right for you xxx Glad you are happy with the 'healthy' result, but totally get your lack of explanation!

moo i am suffering from boldness also!!

FFS situation obviously!

mouse I'm sooo angry about your ht!! I only spoke to hr when I was off and luckily for me she had had an mc so knew what I was going through. Are the union going to contact your school? Your ht cannot be allowed to do this!

Hellooo to everyone else.

Thanks mummyA

I have this terrible feeling that I've typed a message to AandR and wiggle regarding your losses but never posted it. So sorry - I wasn't ignoring them/you, I've been thinking of you both these last few days.

Mouse I really really hope that everything settles down for you both workwise and healthwise. This must be so very difficult to cope with, I'm sure you're keeping it together to get through the appointments etc but I hope you're letting it all out regularly.

I'm off to the GP tomorrow, going to ask for a couple of vitamin tests - D and B12 - have had a history of B12 deficiency in the past and just want to check it out, D is a potential MC risk and I think worth checking out. Also had a response from Dr Shehata's PA about getting an appt with him. Think I can squeeze it in before I go, although not sure I can afford it - the move is looking more and more expensive as it gets closer [eek!] Will try to remember to do another test tomorrow, see whether those hormones are retreating yet.

A question for charters.

Normally ov around day 20-22. This month I got a + OPK on Monday- cd 16/17 ( it was nearly pos on 16 and 17 am, and now is negative again. I haven't been BBT'ing, but took my temp this am as pretty sure that I Ov'd, and it was high, def in the post-ov area for me. Pre-ov is usually 36.1, and post-ov more than 36.4. Today's temp at CD19 was 36.6. Do we reckon I've ov'd early?

That sounds like a good idea, ladybee. When Is it you actually go, was it September time?I used to have cracking lip corners which can indicate B vitamin deficiency, so take a B-complex. Plus I'm part time veggie which doesn't help with B-vit levels.

babe hard to tell with the random odd temp but I think it does look likely. I actually did the same - not temping but did one odd temp and it was in my post ov range. I usually OV on cd15 but was cd17 this month. So yes - I think you may have OV early. Hope you got enough SWI in xxx

Will post later - am working xx

YRMOTB I'd say early ov too - but you cant really count on it untill you get three high temps in a row. Dont forget sometimes a second egg is released too - so it might be worth a "just in case" shag.

Helloooooo and superhugs to ladybee, aandr, mouse and wiggle - you are all very much in my thoughts.

I had my second reassurance scan this morning and we saw our little one and the heartbeat flickering away. Everything measured just fine. I was so overwhelmed and wept tears of joy/relief. I will only be 8 weeks tomorrow so still a very long way to go and still anxious and paranoid that something could go wrong, but definitely encouraged and feeling slightly more positive that maybe, just maybe, this little bean will make it.......

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks ladies for all your responses, I agree with you, I should try and get progesterone from GP first and if she says yes then I will bin the trial. Just need to get diffed now!

bee how much was the cost of testing with Shehata if you dont mind me asking? How did you get on at GP's today?

Ali lovely news, so pleased for you sending lots of sticky vibes x

freezing pate, stinky cheese and vino sound good, come on over! How are you doing today? I know it's pretty pants being so poorly but you can have a well earned break from ttc and get back to it with renewed vigour in a few weeks!

Yey alibean! good one.

Thanks battery and ma, I'll go for one for luck tonight and have a shifty at my temps in the am- just to be certain, you understand

yrmotb I second the early ov thing, but would also think an extra shag wouldn't hurt just in case? . Good luck with catching that egg!!!

Ali lovely news, hope all continues to go well x

bb I can't remember if I've replied to this yet but if there's any chance it's going to help I would definitely just try and get the progesterone and not risk it in the trial. Obviously if your gp won't cooperate the trial might be worth a go, but you don't want to be left wondering, what if...

jolls and loola hope you're ok there in the Gloomy Place, all signs point to me joining you late tonight or tomorrow

ladybee how are you doing, lovely? I hope the tests are showing what they need to and you manage to get somewhere with sorting out the appt with Dr Shehata...big ((hugs)) for you x

I hope you're both ok, I've been thinking of you and am sending big (((hugs))) x

mouse your boss is unbelievably shit and makes my Arse Boss look like Mother Teresa. Please make sure you get sick notes, and do not be pressured into meetings, discussions with boss or anything. Try to just deal through HR when you need to. I am completely and at the way she is treating you and I hope you're coping ok x

babe completely misread that and thought you said ' will have one more luck tonight' - thought you were using rhyming slang x

Anyone using ff - when does it tell you to poas? I thought the idea of ff was after 18 high temps you're pg and should test, but it's recommending increasingly unrealistic testing dates for me - last month it was set at 12dpo, this time it's 11dpo (don't worry, I'm not going to - af will be here by then!). I just thought it was odd. Lots of bfPs wouldn't even show then! Anyone else care to share their recommended test dates?

I have just signed up to another 3 months membership though. That's depressing!

Mines after 14 now. How can I get crosshairs without temps? It is resolutely sticking to me oving on Sunday coming.
battery

babe I put in my + opk and set the ov detection to ovulation test. I didn't get the horizontal crosshairs as no temps but it did draw my vertical ov line and count the dpo for me

babe it takes the average LP of your previous cycles and puts test date as day AF due. You can get it to ignore any really wierd cycles if you want by unchecking them in the "cycle list" bit.

I keep forgetting to POAS in the mornings!!!! I'm so bleary eyed at the moment I get up, stagger to the bathroom and am halfway through the pee when I remember what I was supposed to be doing.
Think I'm going to have set a glass on the toilet seat tonight to remind me. (And hope I get there first before DH )

GP appt went fine today - he's ordered the vitamin tests no question, I had a bad b12 deficiency previously and lots of investigations to try to find out why - I'm not veggie no reason why I shouldn't be getting it from diet - ended up with no firm conclusions, so just have to keep an eye on it.

YRMOTB I'd probably assume from that temp that you'd ov-ed early. Is that good news?

BBB I've messaged you about Shehata - wasn't sure about putting that info on here. Can send it to anyone else who is interested of course.

Freezing push some of the stinky cheese in this direction will you? I think I may be coming out the other side, am finally starting to think 'mmmm, wine', my boobs look back to normal and I actually started thinking about sex the other day...DH will be pleased.

Izzy it's always told me to test around 12 dpo but I think that's cause I normally have an 11 day LP. I went off VIP membership while I was pg last time...but I quite like the re-design and don't know if I can be bothered signing up again we when we start again. The 'scorecard' for effort used to do my head.

Had a lovely day out with a friend today - company really is better for me than being by myself I think. But oh my god, the house is a state and I have two people coming round at various points tomorrow to look around it. One to estimate shipping costs the other to talk to me about letting it. Think it's going to be chinese delivery tonight while I attempt to restore some order. Ugh. Would much rather just be sitting enjoying a .

Just been list lurking, loving the tidy bold bits

So...after all my bravado about not testing at 11dpo despite ff's recommendations, I did poas this morning, Internet cheapie of course and justified in that I'm going out tonight and need to know if I can have a guilt-free . Bfn, obviously.

Then about 2 hours later I checked again and, no, still bfn...but if I stood right next to the window and squinted I could almost see a faint shadow of where a line might appear if it was anything else.

After about ten minutes of mentalling I finally gave in and broke out the cb digis, poas and left it to have a shower. When I got back....guess what? "pregnant 1-2"!!!

Obviously it's ridiculously early days and I daren't be happy about it just yet, af was due today but I know I'm not even 14dpo!! However just to get that glimmer of bfp hope after all this time is fantastic, I know I'm so lucky.

I've had to wait until I stopped shaking to post this...I know some of you will still be wondering when it's going to be your turn and I'm hoping and praying I see you all with a bfp asap. I know I'm only at the start of the journey but tbh I wouldn't have got this far without you all xxx
