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.

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 09/02/2011 17:45

Welcome newbies, I'm sorry for your losses Sad and hope your stay here is short x

blackkat glad the fanjocam gave you the all clear

Been so busy on here today I can't keep up - but whoever was asking about clearblue tests I use the fertility monitor, haven't actually tried the digi opks, but as I understand it the theory is that you get a + or a smiley face 12-48 hours before you ov - have I got that right?

Blackkat · 09/02/2011 17:54

needn't have felt so embarrassed about my music taste Grin

thanks for all good wishes and hope you all have lovely evenings. Wine for me as GP mentioned RW had great iron properties Grin

AandRMum · 09/02/2011 18:29

Oh no - no pouting lip tonight I am shaking my thang to 80s music

Life is mad over this way. Client rang tonight and wants deliverable on Friday (thought I could stretch it to next week!) House planning has kicked off and I have a 200 item to do list already - brilliant fun but mad! Our blog This our blog - we should be uploading more stuff tonight!

cep · 09/02/2011 18:30

wow collie that was huge. i'm hoping not as i haven't had any ewcm but we dtd on mon so if so hopefully close enough. which is yours, i'm assuming i already have you as a friend but as it's codes can't tell who's who. i have mummya and yrmotb with proper names (very pretty pictur yrmotb)

I'm assuming those that i requested i have the names but those who requested me i only have codes. Or do you do something special to get the name?

forgot to add once ds in bed will definately be having a glass of Wine or two.

mummyabroad · 09/02/2011 18:44

flying visit..

Update from the Great Grapefruit Juice Experiment headquaters.

Its only day 9 and I have tons of eggnog! due to ov on Day 14 Last month I only had EGCM on ov day, and this month its started early and is very abundant. I 100% endorse drinking grapefruit juice to increse egg nogg CM.

apologies for lack of catch ups, hello to new people xxx

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 09/02/2011 19:04

Now you see mummya I had the opposite - eggnog on day 13 then pretty much nothing around potential ov time (day 16/17ish). You would think after all this time ttc my body would know how to behave Angry

cep · 09/02/2011 19:09

i seem to have plenty of cm but no "eggnog" thought i was getting there as yesterday seemed watery a bit stretchy but not enough then gone today. Sad want eggnog.

How you feeling today izzy

AandRMum · 09/02/2011 20:25

Eggnog galore here but 6dpo WTF?!?

Ninunina · 09/02/2011 20:28

Grrrr....just had a call from the EPU and they've lost my blood samples, so I have to go back tomorrow morning. I guess its a good thing I decided not to go to work again tomorrow. I was really hoping to get confirmation that my hcg levels are going down, so I can just get on with it and move on. It was quite sad going back there today, looking at all the couples waiting for their scan with a look of fear in their eyes. Some people had been waiting there for 4 hours!!!

Velvetcu · 09/02/2011 20:39

evening all :)

hello to newbies

sorry don't have time for a proper catch up but just wanted to check in - I actually feel like I've turned a corner and it's great. I'm not symptom spotting at all and ws actually a bit shocked to realise I'm 5dpo already!

AandR I've got loads of eggnog too!

Hi to everyone, Izz yrmotb and other SMEPers - I did my best this month but it seems like you girls are doing better!

It loverly having DH locked in the shed too, will probably leave him in there a bit longer!

cep · 09/02/2011 20:40

oh nina how frustrating. am so sorry you have to go back. 4 hours how awful, it is strange going back, i was in the same scan room for mine. It's sad seeing people where you were a few weeks ago. When i went back i had a woman come out and show her mother the scan picure going on about how well it was and how they don't know what caused the bleeding. when i'd had my first scan and it'd had the heart beat i was told not to take the pic out in the waiting room as people had had bad news. i've no doubt she had the same advice but ignored it.

aandr Envy need say no more.

cep · 09/02/2011 20:41

hey velvet am so glad to see you in such a positive mood. have you and dh made up?
re. eggnog i can hate people you know. Envy

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 09/02/2011 20:48

Nina that is really crap, sorry youve got to go back.

cep if she was given the same advice and ignored it then that is bad Angry but I have to say I have been to epu 6 or 7 times over my three pgs (only once for bad news thank god!) but I was never told to be sensitive to people with bad news...I like to think that I was sensitive coming out the room but tbh before my sister and later me had mcs I'm not sure I would have been so aware...

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 09/02/2011 20:50

velvet we're sticking to it but I'm knackered! Luckily only have tknight and Friday to do! Grin

AandRMum · 09/02/2011 21:06

CEP eggnog at ov time = Grin Eggnog at 6dpo = Confused You are more than welcome to it - eugh! Impressive when I can gross myself out!

OrangeGloss · 09/02/2011 21:07

Evening all, sorry I haven't been around, I've been too worried about Friday and have tried to keep myself occupied in the evenings

Welcome to the new/recent joiners, sorry you have needed to und somewhere like here, but this is a lovely thread with lots of good advice and support :)

kat2504 · 09/02/2011 21:41

Hey all sorry I have hardly been around. Trying to keep a bit more sane this month after mentalistic outbursts recently. Due date coming up so keeping busy taking my mind off ttc and fact that am not pregnant again yet.
Will read back a couple of pages to see what is going on here!

Ninunina · 09/02/2011 21:57

AandRMum you live quite close to me Smile good luck with the work on the house. Looks like a facinating project. We're just finishing off a huge project on our house, very rewarding (but came in VERY over budget).

Blackkat · 09/02/2011 22:04
IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 09/02/2011 22:11

blackkat surely we would just be getting into the Erection Section at the school disco now - wouldn't it be all slow tunes and smooching (with dh's not each other, obviously - that would defeat the whole ttc object!)

Blackkat · 09/02/2011 22:18

Haha izzy my recollections involve the boys sitting very firmly on one side of some cold damp village hall and the girls on the other - until the boys had a fight and then someone's dad came in early to pick them up, completely killing the atmos...but then i did grown up in Suffolk!
