Getting us started on a new thread; this one is gonna be a lucky one!

hi just poking head around door, am now definitely in holiday mode and the connection here is unreliable. Am pretty sure AF is about to make her appearance, a bit of spotting the last few days. Found yesterday v tough, couldn't help but mourn the lost 'me's - the one that just be cuddling a newborn, the one that would be sighing and enjoying the last stretch of pg, or the one that would be starting to show and starting to feel human again - instead I'm the one who is drinking wine and feeling a little bitter that it's possible, sort of relieved it looks like the sff was just for fun and I don't need to worry about squeezing in tests, but also a little wistful that this means I'm back into the ttc game AGAIN (how ver ver boring). Am back to London on Friday - catch you all later!

mousebacon · 04/04/2011 20:12

I'm so bored of waiting!

I just want AF to come so I can have my scan and move on [hopeful]

I'm still leakaing brown goo - does anyone know if that's normal? I know my complications are unusual but surely I should be returning to normal by now? It's like brown CM, not really blood IYKWIM.

I've been using OPKs for a few days now but they're definately negative. I'm going to go for more reflexology next week I think. I'm still taking AC, EPO, starflower oil and folic acid but once this world's longest WTF cycle is done with I'm going to invest in the prenatal vits digi's doc recommended.

Any other tips for forcing my body back onto the right tracks?

I'm now gearing up for 'lambing live' and OBEM with a nice cup of tea. Brew

Anyone out there?

mousebacon · 04/04/2011 20:13

Dur! any news AandR ?

Blackkat · 04/04/2011 20:42

mouse you've a nice evening planned Smile

Sounds like you're doing all you can to get your system back to normal, the brown goo lasted for abt 2 weeks for me. Take care x

mousebacon · 04/04/2011 20:56

Thanks love, how are you? Any pukey-ness yet? Grin

Blackkat · 04/04/2011 20:58

Hello, not pukey, but can't feed the cat anymore bcs of the smell, and the brie in the fridge had to go in the bin, eeugh, so don't suppose it's far off! Eating like a pig now to make up for future chundering (at least that's my excuse!) Grin

mousebacon · 04/04/2011 21:14

Sounds good to me - I always eat like a horse when I'm pg - literally can't go for more than a couple of hours without feeling like I might pass out from hunger!

Pleased you're ok Smile

Freezingmyarseoff · 04/04/2011 22:22

Sorry going to be really cheeky and ask a question with no name checking? Blush

I've decided to try some OPKs, can anyone recommend a good internet site for buying them?
Have done a google and lots have come up. Too many in fact. Anyone got a favourite?
Big waves to everyone

MummyAbroad · 04/04/2011 22:35

cheeky answer with no name checking BlushGrin

freezing I got mine off Amazon

www.amazon.co.uk/Highly-Sensitive-Ovulation-Fertility-Strips/dp/B001G7P62S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1301952876&sr=8-1

mousebacon · 04/04/2011 23:42

I use amazon too - I ordered a batch of 50 for about a fiver after the mmc in jan. I got the pg tests from there too Smile

Youremindmeofthebabe · 05/04/2011 08:45

I love Amazon. [saddo]

randomimposter · 05/04/2011 09:12

Can I join!! I heart Amazon too... Not for HPT/OPK though Grin. Waste enough money on other stuff Hmm.

CD24 for me today. No unusual gusset activity. But some ominously familiar tummy twinges. Suspect it's cycle 7 here we come Angry. Yeah I know before anyone says it, it could be implantation. But compooter says no.

Wave to all. Off to grumble at clearing out cupboards.

mousebacon · 05/04/2011 09:50

Can't remember the last time I bought anything sensible from amazon - my 'things you may also like' list is just plain embarrasing!

Enjoy your cupboard sorting jolls I've just washed the mountain of dished DH had lovingly left for me post mither's day. I resisted the urge to wash them yesterday but I really can't stand the mess!

Off to see a friend for coffee this morning, unfortunately also have DS in tow as there's an outbreak of the pox at the CM and I don't want our weekend away ruined!

what is wrong with me?!!

Freezingmyarseoff · 05/04/2011 11:07

I have taken your lovely recommendations on board and made a purchase from Amazon. Plus bought a very exciting red washing line too. See battery I told you my life was exciting. We still haven't decided on a paint colour yet for outside of our house, so more painting/drying to be done

Thinking of you MummyA it's very nerve-wracking approaching the same dates as previous pregnancies. I hope the MS settles down ASAP too.

Jolls I'll swap you your cupboard for my filing cabinet. I just keep shoving all my paperwork into the misc folder and now it won't shut properly Hmm

Zam any news on the thyroid results yet?

Mouse I don't have any more suggestions for getting body back to normal except some retail therapy. That always helps me (until the credit card bill arrives)

LadyBee Enjoy your holiday as best you can esp the wine. It's so hard not to think what might have happened. Take care

And hi to Freelance, I don't think I've said that yet.

Freezingmyarseoff · 05/04/2011 11:10

I don't know what happened there, managed to post before I had finished. Probably a sign I better go and do some work but hope everyone else is okay today BBB, YRMOTB, Velvet, A&R, Wiggle, Izzy, Blackkat and digi

AandRMum · 05/04/2011 12:40

Hi All, A red washing line is exciting freezing as it means summer is almost here and drying things in a cupboard (the wierdest concept for an Aussie to grasp) is over for another season.

DD1 managed to get into our local school - phew!

Zam I too am waiting on your thyroid news ...
LadyB know the feeling - our due date just passed - dh of course had no idea. I was fine but a little sentimental and then I went to a friend's house who has just had number 3 and I have to say I felt rather guilty at how relieved I felt leaving with my two toilet trained, reasonably independent dds!!

I wouldn't mind the list of vits I should be taking to get my body in tip top condition as well mouse I am a bit rubbish and only really manage the folic acid with a dash of Floredex when I remember.

Off to talk to the surgeons tomorrow about having my thyroid cyst cut out.

Waves to all

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 05/04/2011 15:59

aandr yay for the school places and best of luck with the surgeon tomorrow. I'm starting to wonder where zam is - she's keeping us all in suspense.

freezing I also had amazon cheapy opks and some cb digis cheap off eBay. No expense spared Grin

jolls hopefully it's all good signs - I know how frustrating it is every month though thinking it just might be implantation and then getting knocked down again...however sometimes it really is implantation so I'm afraid you'll have to let me quietly keep hoping Smile

yrmotb how're the wedding plans going?

ladybee are you on holiday now? Hope you're able to chill out a bit...

bee and aandr It is horrid thinking of where you should be now, aandr - I hope the dd wasn't too bad - I know I'm lucky having got my bfp for now, but I have to admit when I opened my mother's day card I read "from ds and dd" and thought "but there ought to be one more!"

ZamMummyInGabs · 05/04/2011 17:37

Just a quick update to say - no update :)
Will chase up GP tomorrow and explain the full extent of our family thyroid history (mother, sister, great-aunt, aunt & cousin Shock)

brokenbarrenbrook · 05/04/2011 17:53

Hello all, just a quickie as I am pooped!

A&R the vits that digi has recommended to her by Dr Shehata were pregnacare plus (the ones with the omega 3 capsules) and vitamin d3. Good luck with the appointment tomorrow.

Am another amazon saddo here and my recommended list is embarrassing aswell mouse, your comment about yours made me giggle (and pleased that I'm not the only one with an embarrassing things we think you'll like list!) I too also don't have any suggestions re getting your body back to normal, I've been extremely lucky (?) in that mine has always got back to normal straight away. The only thing I would say that I swear by is exercise as it always sorts me out Hmm

freezing a red washing line! How very posh! Grin

jollipops I'm still hoping for you...... x

Well, fishes at the ready ladies; in the house of bb, there are strange goings on and much mentalling. Yesterday at just 6DPO I felt rather pooped for the majority of the afternoon, spent most of the day peeing and developed sore boobs. Last night on the way home from work I felt sick. Today I almost threw up in the gym and now I have a very grumbly tummy. Hmm

OP posts:
mousebacon · 05/04/2011 17:58

Sorry for the delay zam I loathe waiting for anything but test results are even worse - hope it gets sorted soon.

Congrats on the school place AandR Grin The vits I'm taking are agnus castus, starflower oil and oil of evening primrose. Once I'm back on the ttc wagon I'm going to take digi's advice of pregnacare plus, vit D3 and (on the event of a bfp) low dose asprin.

Right, off to sodding tesco [grumpy face]

batteryhen · 05/04/2011 18:25

Will post properly later but need to have a quick rant. You ladies might remember a few weeks ago when I said my friend had announced she is trying for a baby - been out and brought loads of baby stuff, changing tables etc. Guess what? Yes - she stopped me today to say she has just found out she is pregnant - in fact she thrust her clear blue digi stick under my nose. Great. Great. Arse.

I don't mean to be mean. But I am feeling mean. Off to acupucnture will post later xx

ps - bb sounds good to me xxx :)

mousebacon · 05/04/2011 19:34

I'm back! Just realised I missed your post bb pleased I'm not the only one amozon is 'recommending' things to! I purchased a large haddock in tesco and will happily fling it in your direction (while secretly hoping on your behalf!)

Battery words cannot describe the way I feel about people like your friend. I think Sad Envy Shock sums it up. It's just not fair is it?

batteryhen · 05/04/2011 21:07

Hi mouse I know, I don't think she is trying to upset me me, but is obviously just excited and a bit thoughtless, but I hope things go well with her.

It does help that I just told my acupucnturist about it and she said - and I quote 'did you tell your friend to piss off with her wee stick?' Grin
I am glad also that your gp has seen fit to sign you off - it is all about self preservation you know!

jolls and bb - I am keeping my beady eye on you pair - I have a good feeling about you both :)

freezing I am impressed about the red washing line - quite frankly I don't think life gets more exciting in the washing line world!!

izzy always nice to hear from you - I hope you have reserved some bean bags for all of us over there!

Big wave to zam MummyA AandR Freelance and holidaying ladybee xxx

I have just got back from the acupuncturist - I find it really relaxing. I am off to germany on thursday - due to ov on friday so I want to hold off ovulation till then so she gave me a session to enrich my blood and give my eggy a nice drink. I feel very positive this cycle xxx
