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!

Hello BrownB - sorry you find yourself here - let's hope some of the luck rubs off on you.

I was just passing by to say WAAAAAHHHHHHH !!! I entered my lovely 37.2 on FF, and it moved my coverline and now says I'm only 3 dpo. I wishfully think it's wrong - would you mind having a look and telling me what you think?

Wombat33 · 22/01/2011 16:42

Emoo How long are your cycles usually? Do you mornally get a pre-ov temp dip (like the one on CD21)?

Wombat33 · 22/01/2011 16:42

*normally!

OrangeGloss · 22/01/2011 17:19

Welcome Brownb this thread does seem to be lucky. Sorry you find yourself here, I hope your stay is a short one

Emoo sorry I don't know about charts, but it seems to my untrained eye because of the jump in temp for the last few days? Actually, ignore me, wait for someone better to come along!

I think I was scaremongered earlier by yesterday's MW saying I shouldn't have any more bleeding, then totally ignored the second who said it sounded fine. Just gonna have to expect it so I'm not surprised Really can't believe how neurotic this has made me, bad even for me!

lily06 · 22/01/2011 17:28

Welcome BrownB, the people here are lovely.

Hope you are ok Orange, must be difficult not to worry but hope you are managing to stay calm and keep positive.

Chloe, a 'blow out' day sounds like a good plan of attack, perhaps it stops you cravings things all week? I really need to get back on my diet. Hope your cold is getting better.

LadyBee good luck with your scan next week, try and distract yourself until then.

Hello to everyone else Smile

DachshundsWantPuppies · 22/01/2011 17:43

BrownB welcome to the thread! Sorry you're here but it's a great thread :) And a lucky one at the moment...

DH is pissed off with me for symptom spotting and obsessing :(

Why is the 2ww so hard?

He's been working all day, even though he's been working from home rather than going into the office, but it means I've had nothing to do all day - I'm not meant to carry anything heavy or do any physical activity, so I've only got the internet and the TV (and the several thousand books we've got upstairs) so obviously I've been Googling and obsessing all day. Even though I only had the transfer on Monday so there's no chance any symptoms can be real pg symptoms yet and they're probably due to the progesterone pessaries anyway.

Can someone accelerate time so that it's next weekend please?

Orange I'm sorry you've had more bleeding, but you know there's a strong little bean in there, so I'm hoping you are able to find a way to try to relax.

All you other recent grads I hope you are doing OK too. Good luck with upcoming scans and tests.

I know you're meant to wait the full two weeks and that it's highly unlikely that anything would show up early, but how early do you think is the earliest it would be possible to test?

(obviously so far they've all been BFNs Blush )

MummyAbroad · 22/01/2011 17:52

Hi Brown B, I remember you from charters and from this thread too. Sorry you are back here under these circs. I have put you in Waiting to TTC, is that where you want to be, until first AF or are you actually TTC? If so, you can count the day of mc as Cycle day 1.

Dach Dach Dach you know the earliest is day of AF ... anything done before that is "bonus fun testing" though Grin

dachs what we gonna do with you eh?!! Well I think ordinarily they say not to test until at least 10dpo but I got negatives with that and also I don't quite know how it works with IVF! I would say, as much as it pains you, wait until the day they have told you to poas! But who the hell am I to talk... I poas 4 days in a row because I started too early... human nature, we just want to know! Any symptoms at all?

Welcome Brown I've met you before, come on in.

waves to all anyone else around this afy Grin

MummyAbroad · 22/01/2011 18:00

Emoo FF is using your temps alone to make that line. Are you sure that these are "genuine" high temps, you didnt have a fever, drink alcohol or take your temp too late in the morning, or get up and move around first? If all of that is true, then you probably did ov on the 19th.

DachshundsWantPuppies · 22/01/2011 18:03

mamap lots of symptoms! sore boos, metallic taste in mouth, tired and feeling a bit sick. Also have a cold. But most of those symptoms are due to progesterone in pregnancy and I'm on progesterone anyway, so it's probably just that

DachshundsWantPuppies · 22/01/2011 18:04

sore boobs even - not quite sure how boos could get sore...

Quickie to change my data a tad, will try to get back on later- I haven't been round all week as been really busy.

Orange great new about scan!

pink fantastic news missus Grin

dach I have messaged you as didn't think I'd get chance to post ...

Will try to read up later with a vino and do a proper post...

blardy PMT I think though... what do you make of this?

Ladybee · 22/01/2011 18:17

I've just woken up from a nap, which was lovely and feel a bit more on equilibrium - mamapower I knew you'd quote me back at myself Grin so hard to remember these thing when you get into crunch time but I'll wheel out the relaxing hypnosis tonight and hopefully that will help. Poor old DS was up much of the night with the onset of a heavy cold, hopefully he'll sleep better tonight now that's it's arrived in full.

Emoo that's just weird. Was it just the temperature that you added? I would have said day 18, based on last day of fertile CM, with a fallback on 3dpo, which is what you had on your WTF cycle as well. See what happens tomorrow?

Wellieboots I hope AF doesn't take too long, but if you bled for three weeks, then it's possible you're only just gearing up to ov now, and one thing I've observed on this lists is for some reason lots of women post-mc do experience a bit of pain and spotting around ov in their WTF cycle. Are you waiting this cycle out?

cep my DH & I had a problems at around cycle 2-3, I was using a clearblue fertility monitor and could feel myself getting more and more tense as we'd get to the 'high' and 'peak' because I'd be trying to ensure we SWI but DH would start feeling the pressure and we'd have failures, so then I'd be trying NOT to give pressure but also not to miss the window. It was horrible. I think he started getting disappointed himself around cycle 4 and I also just would let him know, "we're getting close to the week", and would then not stress about it as long as we dtd 1 every three days. On the cycle I conceived we actually only had sex twice when it mattered, and I didn't use the monitor at all because I didn't want any stress about it over Christmas. I did know I was going to ovulate because of charting, I'm quite regular on day 14 or 15, and I get a dip. I hope your DH chills out, but to be honest, I think sometimes its worth NOT discussing it at all and just leaving them a bit of space. He knows what needs to happen, and there's nothing more irritating that being asked to do something you were 'just about' to do voluntarily. It turns it into a chore, rather than a choice. HOWEVER, that goes for you having to give bjs as well Hmm or for that matter having to do anything you don't feel like doing. Sounds like he's trying a bit of power play with you and I'd squash that one before it gets any worse.

pink sorry for your rubbish tube journeys. I complain about the trains into London but they're actually quite civilised in comparison to the tube, much more space and there's not problem with seats at my station.
I listen to lots of podcasts to screen people out - think your CDs are a good idea. Either that or vomiting on someone's shoe.

Velvet I'm so Sad for you that all the spotting did turn into AF after all. How are you doing today?

Tigger - apparating would be good, but my personal wish for commuting as always been (and always will be) THE JETPACK! I don't see why it shouldn't work - all those rooftops are ripe for landing zones.

Ah biscuitchart it's always a bit hard breaking in to an established thread, you just have to be brave and start posting. I hope those drugs treat you nicely - it's a type of MC 'management' I haven't experienced but none are exactly anything you'd wish for so I hope you're getting through it ok.

hadrian so what exactly gets taught on leadership training? I'd like some extra vision.

mummyabroad how are you feeling about the lining measurement now that you've had a bit of time to digest? Must have been v disappointing not to get the straightforward result...especially when you always seem to get the not-so-straightforward results. Hope you're not still shaking your fist at the skies.

youremindme I really hope you're one of those women with the weird shaped HCG hormones. Must be sooooo frustrating. Did that pink CM turn into anything? Courage m'dear!

Izzy had a sneaky peek at your chart - is v interesting with that spotting but staying wobbling along its path. Not your usual thing at all. Fingers crossed those temps stay up for you. Good job on the weightloss as well!

HongKongBaby good to hear all quiet on the HK corral for you. Let's hope there's nothing to find in the knicker check. But at least you know that bleeding is usual for you.

chloe that mix of being happy for someone but sad for yourself is not comfortable, is it. Hugs for you, chick, give it time.

dachs - sorry about DH being annoy-ed--ing. Obsessing is completely normal and will not harm either way, but I try to do some of my mad googling on my phone so that it's not completely obvious what I'm doing. BTW I've only ever had metallic mouth on pg .

Katherine and jigglebum good luck for these early cycles Smile

BrownB I loooooooovve that guiness chocolate cake - a good friend of mine makes it frequently (NB. NOT the only reason she's a good friend but definitely a contributing factor). I remember you from another thread but not sure whether it's this one or another.

Nice to see you caribou Smile, how are you doing? And waves to backonceagain best of luck with the scholarship. Nickster good luck on Monday, I have everything crossed for you and am looking forward to hearing the good news when you get back from it.

What are these pom bear things? and where do you find them? and I don't mean the Bear.
THanks again for picking me and dusting me off and setting me the right way up, it was a big wobble but I do feel much better. You guys are great.

BiscuitChart · 22/01/2011 18:52

ladybee you rock - i can't believe you can hold everyone's info in your head and reply to almost everyone, you are now my MNG (mumsnetgod) Wink . try to chill out before your scan

i refuse to believe you didn't have to make notes :o xxx

welcome brownb everyone here is lovely :)

now, will someone please tell me why you're all banging on about haddocks?!

Biscuit xxx

BiscuitChart · 22/01/2011 18:53

hmm, that was all in a funny order and makes it look like i think that ladybee is getting stressed about everyones info, not what i meant at all!

what i meant was: stay chilled about your scan, all will be well, and don't you dare cancel it!

xx

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 22/01/2011 19:03

Very quick sneaky post from MIL's to say bee you are so lovely, you do such fabulous catchups and always find time to speak to everyone! I'm sorry you've been having a stressful time, glad you're feeling a bit calmer now, chica. Doesnt seem like there's any particular reason to worry, just try to keep thinking positive and hang on for that scan x

BrownB I recognise you too, I think from here, I'm sorry to see you back Sad but welcome to the thread and I hope you don't have to stay here too long iykwim!

OP posts:
IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 22/01/2011 19:06

Natalie it's thread tradition that if you start symptom spotting or poas unreasonaly early you have to be slapped with a haddock or similar large wet fish thus >

Sorry that makes us sound mad doesn't it!!

OP posts:
nickstermum · 22/01/2011 19:17

BEE i always find things so much harder when i am sleep deprived and exhausted. I hae found myself in floods of exhausted tears several times in the last couple of weeks... hopefully tonight you will get some more sleep and things will seem a little brighter tomorrow x

There are lots of wobbles to be had i suspect during the next few weeks... thats a given. Hopefully there is a huge support network for you here. Are you on grads yet? Lots of ladies have grad'ed and they need more bods!!! When you are ready.. Your scan will be fine... its totally nervewracking and i dont think i was in too good a place when i replied before.

DachshundsWantPuppies · 22/01/2011 19:27

fab news for hairy

this must be a statistically significant cluster of BFPs- Poisson or no Poisson I'm sure the supply must have run out by now!

Emoo · 22/01/2011 19:56

Thanks to those who looked at the chart... I've tricked FF into returning the cross-hairs to a more sensible position by putting in an S on CD22 (I don't normally bother putting in CM once it's stopped being EWCM, but maybe I should). Wombat - cycles are usually 26-30 for last 7 years, but pre DC1 used to be all over the place, up to 70 odd days. MummyA - yes they're genuine non-alcoholic normal time temps, but with the caveat of sleeping in an extra layer. So possibly not genuine. Will sleep in normal PJs tonight (but unfortunately have early start as am working tomorrow) so Ladybee tomorrow's temp will not really help matters much.

Dachs - the 2ww is hard because we dream, we have hopes, but we have no control. Hang on in there.

Loola and Izzy - beautiful looking charts, both of you! Plans to poas soon??

Natalie - the haddock (substitute fish of choice) is of course different from the Poisson, who was a (presumably) French statistician, recently adopted by us to remind us that our pregnancy-related events (notably BFPs) are independent of those of others.

Hairy - looks like congrats are in order? Not sure whether you still come here to read, and not sure where you hang out so that I can read your news for myself - can anyone enlighten me?

cep · 22/01/2011 20:04

evening all, i hope your saturday's are going well.

welcome brown my mum did the guiness cake over christmas, was lovely.

bee speechless with awe.... almost, thankyou it is difficult, i'm one of those people who like to talk to my dh about everything. i told him saliva killed the little fellas he didn't believe me at first until i did a search on google.

emoo I can't comment on the charts yet as i'm still learning them. my calendar on ff keeps changing but not getting any ov lines on chart, but i only started updating the info this week, would have been better to have started at the beginning of my cycle. I realised my fertile week changed because for some reason it showed my cycle having started on the 2nd rather than the 7th.

orange i'm glad you've been able to start thinking a bit more positively. Grin

dachs i really hope not. i'm sure there's plenty of storks for everyone. i can't draw the little fishy.

for me i'm hoping i get an undisturbed nights sleep so i know i've got an accurate temp, although having said that am drinking wine, so probably not.

nick goodluck for monday

hello to everyone mummya wombat owl izzy biscuit mamap loola and everyone else here today.

BrownB · 22/01/2011 20:36

Yes - this is definitely the thread I messed the stats on. I left in shame and then found the BESH ladies, who are of course fabulous, like gin and haven't beaten me up... much Grin I also joined another MC thread or two.

Thank you for putting me on the board MummyA. Think am TTC right away. The latest mc started on 18 Dec, for the moment, the dates etc really don't matter for me right now.

LadyB - I really understand where you're at right now. Good luck with the tranquility and relaxation.

So, have had one piece of cake already today, and my clothes are already snug. I want another one. What to do? Smile
