Just MC and ready to try again? Pack your cake, wine and tightie whities and join us for more ranting, weeping and most of all laughing! All welcome! (Part 11)

[IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy]

A safe place for everyone on the TTC after MC rollercoaster. Welcome and come in - virtual wine and chocolate for all, and lots of support and hand-holding until you get your BFP!

The thread moves fast but don't let that put you off - feel free to come along and stay to chat; or dip in and out with any questions.

If you want to join the stats, just add yourself to the list:

WTTC = waiting to TTC
UCL = usual cycle length

Good luck to all - here's hoping for lots of healthy, sticky BFPs by the end of the thread!

lol unfortunately mamap we wont still be on this one when i need the luck!

velvet noo tell me she hasn't come :( :(

Katherine every other day should do the job, but I think every day is also fine.

jiggle well done on the plan of shagging when you fancy it-fingers crossed it'll do the job. Thinking about it, my sex drive definitely correlates with the fertile part of the cycle, so it must be nature giving us a kick in the right direction.

CEP sorry he wasn't more cooperative, sounds like youve got a good plan though

owl how are you doing today? Sorry i mixed up your dates. It's fab that the rents were so excited-does it feel more real now?

orange have you chilled and resumed zombie killing now???

izz v v well done on the 2.5lb-that's a bag of sugar, right? That's loads!! Are you chuffed?

mummya all the best for Tuesday, hopefully it will be clean and you can relax a bit.

I'm off on hols first thing tomorrow and I haven't packed yet so I don't think I'll be around here again now for a week or so, by which time I'll have about 3 threads to read I expect!! I hope lots more shiny smiley OPKs and BFPs arrive in the next few days! See you all soon xxxx

pink just a quick before you head off!

Yes I'm really chuffed, that's 4.5 lb altogether so it's starting to feel like real progress!

Anyway have a fab holiday, see you when you get back x

Orange I'm so, so pleased to hear you got good news. I can't begin to imagine the stress you've been going through - its fantastic your little bean is in there safe and well.

YRMOTB & Velvet I had been holding out for good news for you both, that's such rotten news. Lets hope 6 is the lucky number for you both, and Iz, Choccy, Knitter and BOA.

Dachs I'll be lurking about between now and the 31st keeping my everything crossed for you!

Owl I hope your due date hasn't been too saddening, and you are doing something nice tonight
HKbaby I hope knicker checking doesn't find anything but at least you know to expect it
Pink and Izzy thanks I didn't know, I'll have to look into finding another accupuncturist I'll have a look for a specialist
Chloe I think it's perfectly natural to feel like that, but doesn't make it any easier does it? ((()))
Natalie glad to hear you're having pizza made to make up for the non-drinking
Pink when do you get the results? Everything is crossed for you. I have the whole Harry Potter collection on audio book and it's narrated by Stephen Fry, helped my commute no end. I'm happy to post you a copy if you pm me your address, but quite understand if you don't! Have a fab hol, is it skiing in Austria?
Wellie I hope the move goes ok
Mummya sorry you didn't get the full reassurance you needed, but like you said there are plenty if women that have had successful pg's with a less than 'normal' amount
Lily I hope the Wispa was good, u discovered a Snickers in the fridge and it was awesome
Izzy congrats on the weight loss, and it ain't over till she arrives, fx for you
Katherine that's fab news. I kinda looked at that plan, but went for the scattergun approach in the end
jigglebum that sounds like a good plan to me, maybe a night away too, cash and circumstances permitting?
Cep no pics but tbh I was just so made up I didn't even think to ask. My cm goes from eggwhite to sticky or nothing, not sure what the norm is. My DH didn't want to be informed at all, I think there is the fear of the unknown in that knowing might open up all sorts of 'women's' stuff!
Velvet sorry she got you :(
Thanks Caribou
Nix not long til your scan, fx for you sending good vibes

Thanks for everyone's kind words, still not sunk in. Going to try to stay positive but cautious, and keep calm

I don't know what I'd have done without all your support, it's very much appreciated

. Def worth looking for a specialist acupuncturist!

katherine yay! We were aiming for every other day this month but ended up doing a bit more due to dh being surprisingly cooperstive! I've seen the SMEP though and it looks quite comprehensive - good luck!

Natalie I also blew the diet with pizza last night!! It was fab...

No news here. Took my temp early after sleeping with arms out of covers (brrr!) and it had dropped a bit . Went back to sleep and took it again at more normal time and it was the same as yesterday so just not going to put in anything today and see what tomorrow brings.

Well apparantly you should have a 'blow out' day' each week when you start a healthy eating plan to keep giving your metabolism a kick up the backside. I used to have the fattest ever chinese ever thurs when i did SW and still lost 2 stone in quite a short space of time. I really must stop having that same chinese twice a week and should start SW either side of it now though

Velvet - I reckon the next thread will be even luckier (That will be my lucky thread too)

Prob too late but have a fab holiday Pink! Lucky cow

Orange - I know what you mean about the support on here, it's unbelievable Talking flowers - my dh bought me some gorgeous tulips a couple of days ago (this is a rarity) and my dog ate all the heads off them yesterday

Biscuit - hope you enjoyed your pizza and I hope the miso stuff is diong it's job correctly.

Katherine - Dh and I were gonna do every other (he is 33) but as it happens it is working out at about every 36 hours which I think is best of both worlds

Owl - I hope everything went ok for yesterday and hope you and dp had a lovely evening together.

Cep - sorry to hear your dp isn't being very communicative but I guess this just means it is left in your capable hands to take charge.

to everyone else.

I am still full of cold and now have to go to band rehearsal, not sure my voice can hold up for it!

velvet hugs- sorry the auld beyatch got you, ((hugs)).

well done izz!

better go, babysitting for my friend-two four yoear olds. Busy busy.

Izzy fx tomorrow bring a better temp
Chloe sorry to hear about your flowers

The MW said yesterday I shouldn't have any more blood. So woke up to more bleeding :( I got through to another one today who said I could be bleeding from under the placenta where they can't see, and my chances of success are 80%

Don't panic, right? Right?

Morning all

Pink is it this weekend you head off? If so, have a lovely jolly!

Chloe sorry to hear about your tulips being munched! If it's any consolation my cousin brought me chocolate instead of alcohol (we normally do like a drink together), but when we were out, my stupid mutt ate the lot... lucky she didn't end up in the vets!!

for you Izzy !

and Orange breath! Babe, honestly, all this stress can not be helping you or the baby! please please please, try and hold on to your wonderfully positive scan yesterday and the reassurance the has brought. Put your feet up today, and do nothing... big hugs my lovely, you are having the absolute worst ride imaginable xx

Waves to everyone else

orange i'm sorry you're still getting the blood. like Mamap said you had a fantastic scan yesterday, just keep thinking of that.

velvet sorry she's here.

mamap mine did that once, my dh bought us a hand picked box of chocolates from this little shop he ate his straight away i left mine to eat over the next few days dog got to them and ate all mine.

well ff is confusing, my chart didn't predict ov but that's down to 3 days of disturbed sleep so possible inaccurate temp. but my calendar has changed fertility week. it told me it did it but not why. it's obviously due to the info i put in, i'll just have to wait and see when af appears. at least either option we dtd the day before possible ov. so i guess i'm grateful for the 5 day gap now.

hello to everyone else. hope you're all ok

Hello everyone!

I'm enjoying the 2ww at the moment - have had temp of 37.2 for three days running, has never been so consistently high before (but have been sleeping in dressing gown as pyjamas and duvet not quite enough for our chilly house the last few nights).. so I'm getting all excited at 8 dpo.. haddock me please! Dachs and Choccy (cycle buddies) - hope you are doing okay and doing well at not obsessing too much!

Orange - glad to hear the news of your scan. Yes - don't panic! If it was your very first episode of bleeding after a good scan I'd be more worried, but you've been losing blood like this for a while and it's clearly not done your beanie any harm up to now, so why should it in future? So try to look after yourself and distract yourself as best as you can (I know it's difficult).

Velvet - sorry about AF - I had such high hopes!

YRMOTB - very frustrating for you about there being no BFP yet... hope it's just around the corner for you.

Chloe - poor you with your cold.

Pink - enjoy the hols!

Izzy - fantastic news on weight loss - well done! I'm very impressed. Hope AF stays away

Cep - I go from egg nog to sticky straight after O. Dunno if that's normal or not! I agree with the "just jump on DH" plan!

Katherine - good luck with the shagathon!

MummyA - If you know of others that have conceived and carried successfully with thinner than average linings - then you too can do it! Hope your results on Tuesday are reassuring.

Hope MamaP, Tigger, Pink, HK, Wombat, Ladybee, owl, nix and any I've missed are all doing well, and not stressing and knicker checking too much!

Thanks guys that's what I needed to hear [meek and nervous smile] the fact it isn't good for my bean is incentive enough to make myself relax. Might be time to go back to counseling, which I had a year ago to stop me worrying so much - gone out the window now!

Cep I don't know about charting, but at least you're covered from an SWI point if view either way
Emoo good news on the temps, fx they stay high

Oooh emoo your temps sound fab

orange I think emoo's right - you've been bleeding for a while and bean seems to be thriving . Bit if R&R definitely a good idea though, and I agree it might be worth looking into counselling again. Big (((hugs))) coming your way x

Hello all. Been busy with my daughter's scholarship for 'big' school (please x your fingers for her she has worked so hard) so I havent posted but I have been lurking. Sorry I haven't done a full catch up for ages, but just want to say I am thinking of you all and temping daily

Right ladies I need a bit of old-fashioned slapping around the gills, a stern talking to. Prompted, I think, by orange and owls good scans - which I thrilled about especially orange after all that stress - I seem to have gone into 'that's all the good scans used up' mode and am completely convinced that mine this wednesday is going to be a repeat of the blighted ovum and there will nothing there and that's why my symptoms are so rubbish. Fret fret fret.
And I know that even those ladies who vomit like clockwork every morning don't feel sick every minute of every day, and I do have waves of icky feelings but why aren't I completely conked out at 8 (says typing on iPhone from bed) and and oh I don't know I just want to feel more pregnant and for everything to be ok and I don't want to go through it all again.
argh. See this scan they should see something that has a heartbeat. and I'm so scared they won't or it'll be bad news again. I almost rang yesterday to see if I could postpone it - just the thought if it does go wrong it would be better to have info on when it went wrong in case that helps future pg. Sigh. I need some chocolate or a good book or something.

Bee, you're virtually the same stage as me right? I'm not puking or feeling puky all the time - just waves now and then and some days (like yesterday) it seems to have gone totally. I'm also not conked out at 8pm (in fact I'm still at work often). Big hugs. I'll hold your hand for your scan on Weds if you hold mine for my scan on Thurs xxx

(((((((((oh Ladybee))))))))) sorry you are so stressed. Here's some chocolates, a nice cup of tea, a footstool, good book, hunky masseur, and most importantly a very large poisson blowing bubbles and reciting "The results of your scan DO NOT depend on the results of anyone else's!". We all want everything to be okay for you, sweetheart, and I understand how terrifying it will be to go into that scan room again. Keeping everything crossed for a lovely strong heartbeat there on Wednesday. x

Thanks
that's exactly what I needed to hear wombat, yes I think we're within a day or so of each other.
Emoo you too - I'll take the footstool etc and will even drink the tea even though it tastes weird now, because it tasting weird is a symptom, right?

I'm going to find a book now. I have piles of unreads - must be something in here that will hook me in enough to stop me googling. And will come back later in a better frame of mind to catch up
On everyones news.

((( Ladybee ))) poor thing, the thought of not knowing and being in ignorant bliss is tempting. Wombat's right you have as much chance of a good scan.
I felt sick to my stomach constantly last pg, and turned out poor bean had never implanted properly, so sickness not necessarily a sign all is ok anyway. I've only had waves of sickness so far, and this pg is already more successful than last one

Having said that I've had no nausea or sore boobs today, but trying not to read too much into it

Bee i am gonna slap you with a rotten fish m'lady cos my scan is monday..... and i could do with knowing all the good scans arent used up!! I am full of terror as it is

My symptoms scarily disappeared t'other day and so you arent alone in said fretting.

My GP told me he had never come across a recurrent blighted ovum, I prepare to be corrected, but thats what i had last time... he said that is quite rare! If that re-assures.

T'will be fine.

If its any consolation bee, with my blighted ovum i had loads of symptoms, a huge bump and no bleeding......

chill out babes x

oh lady nothing to be ashamed about and sorry you are having a wobble. A wise lady once said to me and I quote right back at you... "consistency I think it just not a pregnancy thing", we won't all puke, we won't all be tired some of us will have nothing and some of us will suffer and some of us will have symptoms that come and go! And it was thanks to your advice I am completely relaxed about it all... Enjoy that book and a nice decaf earl grey mmmmmm

Hello ladies - happy Saturday all round. Would love to join you all... you seem like a friendly bunch and this seems like this is a lucky thread. Hope the scans go well Laybee and Wombat. Laybee - if you haven't found any chocolate yet, <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.sucheela.net/images/food/guinness-chocolate-cake.jpg&imgrefurl=sucheela.blogspot.com/2007/05/guinness-chocolate-cake.html&usg=__pzdAycj61tKOcGbRGX6Yy881h0g=&h=326&w=400&sz=34&hl=en&start=63&zoom=1&tbnid=BYb5rVtJsw4VbM:&tbnh=172&tbnw=197&ei=oAA7TY6_M4bNhAeUruH4DA&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dchocolate%2Bcake%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Den%26biw%3D1280%26bih%3D680%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C2231&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=317&vpy=153&dur=4715&hovh=203&hovw=249&tx=102&ty=91&oei=jQA7TYD1ONCZhQecneSNCg&esq=5&page=5&ndsp=16&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:63&biw=1280&bih=680" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here, have some of the cake I made last night...

Now, I've been on a MC thread before (this one?) and totally messed up the daily stats, so am reluctant to show my incompetence once again. If there is anyone out there who is kind enough to assist me in joining in, I would be really grateful... Am 36 and my latest miscarriage completed it's thing yesterday. I've ranted enough on other threads, so won't bore you all with my um... mc and medical related musings.

BrownB TTC#1 cycle 1 (post MC2) UCL 24-26 CD..?

Hi Brown B and welcome! Your name is familiar, so maybe it was this thread you joined before? Sorry to hear you've been going through the mill. May this time be much luckier for you x
