Coffee lounge and bar for MI5 interviewees, little friends and other CM studiers post MC – Part II

[wombatinwaiting]

Here is part II of our intrepid journey through the minefield that is TTC post MC. You can find part I on this thread.

Pecka hun, I think it's your due date today? Sending lots of hugs your way, I'm dreading mine and can imagine how you are feeling. Do you have the balloon? Stay strong, we are here if you need.
Can recommend Wombat's muffins, very moist.

Hi girls
Oh dear harassed poorly kitten, hope it is ok now and doesn't end up costing you at the vets!
sparkly the cottage sounds ace, and every other day is great.
wombat have you heard anything back about the job meetings you had last week yet?
yellow when do you start as the new director general of the BBC?
Pecka hope you are ok if you need a good distraction and have an hour to kill this thread is hilarious ( sorry I don't know how to do the clever linky thing....)

I am currently skiving off work preparing my presentation, and trying to distact myself from reading all the pregnancy and conception threads. I keep finding myself reading about breast-feeding. Getting a bit ahead of myself i think.....

Ah........ my day has been made....The police community support officer was ticketing the lazy inconsiderate bastards people parked illegally at the school this afternoon. [evil laugh emocion]

I think I killed the thread.......

Morning all and firstly, many apologies for not providing you with the list of specials yesterday, particularly being a monday morning! Today we have a selection of croissants - plain, cheese, almond and chocolate (although we are slightly depleted in the chocolate department - - had to do quality control, you understand....!)

Lovely to hear from you sparkly and glad you've managed to SWI spontaneously - sooooo much nicer that way. It's funny how I think about my parents as we get older - I have started seeing them from a bit more of a distance (obviously a physical distance too) and as normal members of the population, rather than just my parents, and so see different things than I used to - anyone else? Please be assured that I am available for tomato pelting at any stage - in fact we have set up a wipe-able corner in the coffee lounge for such purposes .

Aggghh worm - I was supposed to be doing a bit of work from home this morning before heading off to a meeting (about emotional intelligence which is a subject that fascinates me) and I've been caught up on that embarrassing things thread which is heeeeelarious - love it! Also loving your glee at the parking tickets - too bloody right!

how's the kitten today harassed?

Thinking about you today pecka - hope you're as ok as you can be x

So as far as I can work out, we have emma, worm, sparkly and yellow all on the 2WW - have I got that right? Talking of yellow - you were very quiet yesterday - were you going through your top secret intelligence briefing with the people at HQ? Or perhaps lunch with Judith to brush up on a few tips?! Hope all is well and you're not missing your DP too much.

Right - MUST get on with some work!!

A me, me, me post.

Had some pinky discharge this moring. Dtd, last night so hoping its that. Please cross fingers for me .

Morning ladies

harassed fingers, toes and legs are crossed for you. Was it just a little bit? Has it stopped now? How are you feeling otherwise. Sending sticky thoughts your way.

pecka how you doing today?

worm I start on 31st March which is scarily soon! I laughed at the image of you rubbing your hands with glee at the parking tickets. Thanks for the link to that thread, I love things like that.

sparkly good work on dtd, sounds like you are maximising your chances. I've found out that for my new job I'll most likely be on a business trip at the crucial point next month. That won't help at all.......

wombat MN is the enemy of 'working' from home. It sucks up the hours minutes and before you know where you are it's lunchtime.
I was on an all day shopping trip yesterday trying to get some new clothes before I start my new job so that I will wow them with my fashion flair, or something...
I also have a complaint to make about the catering....where is my birthday cake? I don't want the 'correct' number of candles, we don't want to set the fire alarms off. I was thinking chocolate fudge....

Morning Harassed, all my bits crossed for you honey. Probably little bean bedding in and getting comfy for the duration x
Morning everyone else! Wombat, almond croissant over here if you please. I may or may not be on the 2ww.

You ok Yellow and Pecka? Thinking last night that the thread might go quiet for a bit (points at Wormythreadkiller accusingly ) We've fallen into two camps really, those covered in tomatoes and those waiting for a pelting. I hope we continue to chat and no-one feels they can't say something for risk of upset. Regardless, we are all full of anxiety and hope, that alone should keep us bonded over the breakfast pastries

Aw, Yellow, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Wombat is really slacking off, she thinks she's on mat leave already

Happy birthday yellow!! Ill toast you with a large orange juice!! Can I order I plain croissant too!!

Harrassed what day of your cycle you on a had a little bleed the day my af was due did a test a day early as I'm so impatient! I thought the worse but it must have been implantation bleed also I know its personal choice and its nearly killed my DH but we have not had intercourse since I got my +ve test! (And now I'm scared to DTD)
worm there's nothing better than sweet revenge!!!!

Waves to everyone else!!

I ended up at epu as bleeding got worse and bright red. Nothing in womb, but they've taken blood tests just in case. Unconvinced though .

yellow happy birthday lovely.

Oh Harassed, my heart sort of went 'thud' when I read your post, so sorry, when do you get the test results?

oh harassed I'm so sorry to hear that, that's shitty. [hug] xxxx

Happy birthday yellow I hope you are getting treated well by DH and you get a treat later or is DH away at the moment?
Get your DH to come along for a night so he can "keep you topped up" on your [taps nose] business trip........

You are very good at keeping track of us all wombat !! impressive stuff! Yes I am on 2ww and have bought 2 bags of brazils to keep in the car and I may be getting a bit addicted! Looking forward to my weekend away with the girls, it's a hen do so will be very silly and immature, I will not be going mad with the alcohol as I like to keep my wits about me when we go somewhere new.

Yes sparkly there are 2 camps (plus lurkers ) I hope we don't all disappear as I love my daily chats on here, they tend to be 80% other stuff and only 20% actual conception chat. In fact I reckon I talk to you lot more than my DH!!

Oh harassed - so very sorry to read that - how heartbreaking for you. Sending huge hugs and thoughts. Please do let us know how you got on with the bloods. xx

Harassed I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, I'm sending lots of positive vibes and hugs too.

Thanks girls! Hcg is practically non-existent unfortunately.....6. So def a mc. I just expected it to be like my first one which was a mc rather than mmc. I'm ok, a bit wobbly obviously, but I hadn't allowed myself to get excited tbh.

Sooooo where's that birtday cake, shift up Yellow!

at "I like to keep my wits about me when we go somewhere new"

Perhaps Yellow can offer up some travel survival tips. Methinks she is the new Ray Mears? But an urban version, about to hit our screens with pointers on how to survive on only croque monsieurs on the rabid streets of Marseilles, and how to disarm an assailant with a stale baguette. When can we catch you, Yellow?

Harassed, so sorry that's been confirmed, how absolutely gutting for you. A big hug from me

yellow!!!

Happy birthday to you
I went to the zoo
I saw a fat monkey
And I thought it was you!!

A very, very happy birthday full of wheelbarrow-loads of chocolate fudge cake and bucket-loads of bubbles - on the house tonight!

x-post harassed - so very sorry to hear that it's been confirmed. Be kind to yourself and take lots of support from wherever you need to xx

*sparkly - pmsl at Urban Ray Mears!

harassed sorry is all I can say xxxxxx

Afternoon ladies

harassed I really am so sorry to hear your news. I know that there is nothing I can say to make it better but I'm thinking of you and sending my hugs and most warmest thoughts your way.

I have had a good birthday shopping, I bought this and this and some lovely shoes from Reiss which are kind of like this but much sexier! shoes

I also had lunch with a friend, scallops with pea (I know I shouldn't) puree and panacetta, confit duck with potatoes dauphinoise and banoffe pie. And a lovely bottle of red! Not a diet day today....

sparkly love the idea of being an urban ray mears......not very near the mark though! You have a fabulous imagination, you must be in the creative industries.....advertising? if not, you should be.

DP is in Australia, haven't spoken to him today, maybe when he wakes up. Am going to have a quiet night tonight as acupuncture at 8am tomorrow and I start a 5 day training course. (not related to job)

And as far as continuing our chats.....you ladies don't think about going anywhere...as we know if my new role I will easily be able to track you down should you go off radar.....so don't even think about it!

And I'm going on a mad karaoke frenzy on Friday night. Love karaoke......not the type on stage but when you have a little room of your own. I usually just go with one friend as there are only 2 microphones in the room and we don't like to share I can't wait it really helps me to let off steam.

I don't know what's wrong with me this week, I haven't been sleeping at all well. I've been having trouble getting to sleep and being wide awake at 6am. And last night it was 3.30am, and 5 am. DP said I am having jet lag by proxy. I wonder whether although I am fine with him being away, on some level I am feeling stressed about being in the flat alone? dunno really.......

oooh just realised how long this is, sorry for the essay!

Really sorry harrassed - that's really awful news.

I am just waiting to see whether the SWI worked, but given we didn't manage to top-up and I may have missed the OV day.... I am not holding out much hope, I keep checking CM to see if it has changed (to what - I don't know - but check anyway!). Keep feeling sick but I think that is just eyestrain from work and not enough sleep :)

I am a bit late with your birthday Yellow Happy Birthday!

Yes worm I am on the 2ww - good memory.... although I am off on my hols over easter so would worry about everything when I'm away if I did get a +ve

Good night all
