Hello all,

still not tested. I am doing really well considering where I work - I am surrounded by tests so it would be really easy. I plan to test on Thursday if my temp is still up and I have no AF signs. I really want to test but as we all know it is awful staring at a negative test - and I want DP to be home before I do that! Also I am off on thursday so I can do it at home and if it is negative then I have the day to myself to wallow in self pity.

Will catch up later xx

loola2shus · 22/03/2011 17:13

Hi all,

Thanks for the thoughts re cd1 crapness Sad I have to admit getting my hopes up a tad! that chart was starting to look promising Angry ...at least the metformin seems to have vastly reduced my cycle, so thats a plus point, however it also means that I am now going to totally miss this cycle as cannot ttc before my lap in 2 weeks time which will possibly be right on ov time Angry blardy typical!

Izz how you feeling chica, any symtoms yet? x

FX Battery - it's sounding good your end!

congrats Zam heres to a stronger line!

chloe so sorry to hear about your friend

mummya sorry you aren't feeling too well, at least its for a good reason IYSWIM

YRM yep, early Hmm however I am certain that FF got my ov date wrong and it was actually a few days before so lp actually 14days not 11 Confused I think that early ov was due to metformin , as I have only just started taking it again.

Hairy hello my lovely, glad you've found us x

wiggle hugs for our shared dd, and the awful week you had to add insult to injury x

loola2shus · 22/03/2011 17:29

Yuck, I have just done list and seen that this is cycle 8! Shock I feel like I am never going to get there Sad especially as I know that this cycle is a write off Sad

MummyAbroad · 22/03/2011 17:51

loola big HUG. I conceived on cycle 12 after MC, but only cycle 2 after hysteroscopy. There is every chance that after a quick MOT on your insides you will conceive really quickly afterwards, it does happen to many women that way.

digitalgirl · 22/03/2011 23:17

Lurking...

randomimposter · 23/03/2011 07:33

Hi all - welcome back Hairy, good to see you.

Had acu yesterday with some more Moxa (sp?), and am CD11 today, so midst SWI (I mean not at this precise moment of course).

Surrounded by bumps of all feckin' sizes and new arrivals galore. Smiling til my cheeks ache.

Gotta dash, but hope everyone's as chipper as poss x

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 23/03/2011 07:35

loola I know how disheartening it is but try not to feel too down - I conceived this time on cycle 8 and both ds and dd were conceived on cycle 9 of ttc so I think it's a lucky phase personally - fx it is for you too!

No real symptoms here, that's fairly normal for me so I'm trying not to mental too much Hmm

battery are you still resisting?!

yrmotb how's it going? Would be lovely to hear some good news from you too this weekend, your beanbag's ready x

zam have you poas again? Is the line getting any stronger?

Chloe55 · 23/03/2011 09:01

loola It is disheartening, like you last month all the signs were there for me def being lucky, ovulated when I should've, temp rise and then dip with a little bleed which indicated implantation, symptoms, you name it and I actually thought the hpts must have been wrong Blush I was so so gutted when AF arrived, I am on cycle 7 now but had been ttc for nearly 3 years before my last MMC, I have def been worse for mentalling about it these past few months though. I have decided not to temp this month and am just dtd as often as possible as I think I sent myself crazy seeing how bloody brilliant that chart looked last month but then produced nothing Sad

izzy glad everything is still running along smoothly for you.

jollster Grin at you swi midst MN, you are very good at multitasking Wink

batteryhen Have you still managed to hold out on testing? If so, you are doing extremely well! I look forward to hearing a good result tomorrow.

MummyA Is it the MS that is getting you down? Do you have anyone else around you that could help out for a little while? I found sucking on polos and icecream helped with mine when I had ds.

hairylights How are you feeling today? When is it that you get the results from your blood tests then? If they were done Friday then surely it should be soon?

LadyBee How is it with your mother there at the moment? I hope she is giving you lots of support and helping you out a bit. Hope dh is not being an arse too Wink

Waves to everyone else!!!

Easy day for me today, just waiting in for the shopping then off for coffee with a friend. Have been getting a few stabby twinges in my ovaries so hoping that the Clomid is doing it's job again this month.

brokenbarrenbrook · 23/03/2011 09:04

Hey digi squishes from me too, hope you're doing ok

jolls know that face ache feeling. Had to congratulate another friend yesterday as her husband told me she was expecting their second having only just come back to work after maternity leave for a year. Another colleague is due a fortnight today and finishes work Thurs and another also in the same office as me has been knocked up by her boyfriend of 6 months (she's a reputation of being a serial shagger) is 16 weeks and doesn't stop going on about it. Frankly the whole thing pisses me off and I'm turning into a bitter twisted old bitch. If I don't get my baybee soon.....grrr! Of course this is all internal while externally I wear my painted on smile. Feeling your pain honey, massive squishes xxx

Rant over!

Sorry for shortness of personals, not in the best frame of mind to name check so may lie low for a while as quite frankly I don't think I can take much more!

Love to all xxx

Hello all.

All good in camp. Work keeping me busy, beautiful weather and a new gym keeping me occupied, and on the whole, my mind off things. I have been googling wedding venues instead of staring incessantly at my chart, and I couldn't tell you how many DPO I am this month! I've got an inkling, but not exactly sure. Am enjoying it. The only thing I do know is that I've no symptoms whatsoever. Hmm

digi you ok my love? ( i know it's a foolish question really- hugs)

loola CD1 never good. The laws of probability are now however on your side- it's the only thing I try to take faith in. 92% of us will be pg within 12 cycles. That's a good statistic. I'm staring cycle 8 in the eye though, so feel your pain. They do say a lot of people conceive in the 3 months after a HSG.

ladybee I didn't realise it was so soon! How exciting, and probably a little stressful as the time approaches.

ma how are you- sickness still full on? anti-nausea drucks not helping?

battery well done for still not testing! I admire your resolve. When does DP arrive?

jolls sorry for impending arrivals and babies following you around. My sil is due to give birth soon, she had a natural mc at the same time as me last year, and I know it'll be lovely, and ace, and all, but a little sad.

mouse good luck for thursday, thinking of you.

Waves to all.

Chloe55 · 23/03/2011 09:09

A big squishy hug for you too BBB Sad Try and avoid those smug pregnant bitches.

Chloe55 · 23/03/2011 09:11

Really yrmotb 92%? Wow that is a good statistic. I will hold onto that one too.

nickstermum · 23/03/2011 09:23

aaah jolls and bbb, huge big squishes from me....you arent a bitter twisted old bitch lovely xxx and its always the serial office shaggers that get caught out [damn them emoticon] Grin

Good for you re the distraction babes, sounds like its just what you need xx

Youremindmeofthebabe · 23/03/2011 11:55

Xposted with bbb and loola there. I know there's nothing I can say to make it better bbb, but hugs for you x

Velvetcu · 23/03/2011 12:33

bbb big hugs from me too - I'm still a twisted old bitch re: the pregnant 14 yr old in my class so I know how you feel about the unfairness of it all. Why do they get to sail through??

Glad you are distracted yrmotb - have you made any wedding decisions yet or still just looking at everything?

hello hairy how are things with you?

hi digi hope you are as ok as you can be, AandR too if you're lurking.

battery fx for your testing tomorrow and i admire your will power.

Hope everyone else is enjoying the sunshine even if you are stuck at work.

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 23/03/2011 12:43

(((hugs))) to bb and jolls. Sometimes it all seems so unfair Sad

Distractions sound good yrmotb that's basically the attitude I had last month and it definitely took the stress out of things!

MummyAbroad · 23/03/2011 14:29

Hi chloe Sadly its just me and DS. DH is out at work all day and goes to Uni three nights a week so he is not around to help much. My family are all in England and DH's family live a 45min drive away. I know that they will help in a "real" emergency, but we havent even told them I am pregnant yet. I think missing my counselling appointment this week hasnt helped either, and I havent made it out of the house since my scan over a week ago. Sad I have tried sucking sweets and ice cream (and a million other things) but lying down and keeping really still is about the only thing that eases it a bit.

Chloe55 · 23/03/2011 14:43

Urggh that sounds horrid mummya were you like this with ds? If so, did it start easing at any point? I hope for your sake it does. Could you afford to get a nanny/cleaner in temporarily? I appreciate you may still be paying your other lady though, not sure what the 'rules' are over there re employment. I hope you start feeling better soon.

MummyAbroad · 23/03/2011 15:10

chloe no, I just had normal queasiness with DS that went away when I ate and didnt last beyond twelve weeks. I had full on HG and hospitalisation with the mmc though, which is why I went straight for the meds this time. I just couldnt bear going through that again especially knowing that you dont always get a baby at the end of it. I probably could get a temp cleaner, but there is always the risk that they nick off with all your stuff! (have been fleeced several times!) I think I will wait it out for the other one to come back, I dont care if the house is a tip, and have cancelled all my work this week, so I just have to manage cooking (bleurgghh, need a nose peg!) and washing clothes, everything else can wait. Yesterday I managed to fill up the slow cooker and put it on in the garage so I didnt have to smell it! need a few more slow cooker recipes though as I only know how to do two things...

MummyAbroad · 23/03/2011 15:44

oh fucking hell, now I am bleeding Sad

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 23/03/2011 15:58

Have posted on t'other thread mummya but in case you're lurking here, remember a bit of bleeding doesn't necessarily mean anything so try not to panic. Sending you big (((hugs))) and keeping my fx for good news at your scan x

Youremindmeofthebabe · 23/03/2011 16:23

Ditto-ing izzy's comments- don't panic! Sending love and strength, presumably you will be scanned, as per izz's comments? Good luck xx

mousebacon · 23/03/2011 19:29

Thanks YRMOTB I feel ok about it. I keep swinging between thinking 'tomorrow I'll be a normal, non pregnant woman again' and 'tomorrow I'll be sitting in the bad news room waiting for more people to fanny on with my fanjo...' Either way I'm hoping to ttc again in May. Hopefully that will give me a good enough rest and, if the worst happens again there's a chance it'll happen in the summer hols and not interfere with sodding work Angry

Sending hugs and squeezes to mummya digi bbb jolls loola battery izzy hairy and everyone else xx

nickstermum · 23/03/2011 19:37

(((mummy))) a bleed doesnt necessarily mean anything at all, i really really hope for you that its not xxx

nickstermum · 23/03/2011 19:38

Now that sounds flippant, and its not mean to! Hopefully you know what i mean.... seems to be a common occurrance after an MC, hopefully it will all be ok xx
