Boo to af loup

Welcome back tomboy how was it?

Right no more procrastinating - midday deadline to hit ..

Hope everything is still looking ok for you littlebitdiffedagainDachs, and good to know that your Dr will do a stitch for this one, I was wondering that in the shower this morning
Busy day here, it's my DH's birthday..it seems to have come around incredibly quickly which I suppose is a symptom of exactly how much has happened in the last year. This time last year I was about 3 weeks out from a 2nd mc that year, and having to buck up as it was DH's 40th and I'd planned to take him to lunch in Paris for the day. Hey ho. Today it was fish & chips on a super sunny end-of-winter day at the beach, with our little boy making sandcastles and climbing on rocks, in Auckland.
I've been feeling much more at peace, at home, and, amazingly,Lucky these last few days. I don't know what it was exactly but I seem to have let go of the feelings of anger and unfairness that were clouding my vision and stopping me from properly acknowledging that what I have, Right Now, is actually fine. Better than fine. Pretty Damn Good. A lot of people would look at my life and think, "lucky bugger" (>

Temp 36.97

Still in bed, will be back later to catch up x

Morning! My temp is up again too tina

lady Im super impressed with your catch up skills and it's lovely to hear you sound much more at peace than in recent weeks. Keep enjoying NZ

dachs what happens now? Are you back with the docs this week?

Thanks for the input mummya How's things with you at the mo?

I took your advice and didn't retest this morning digi I am very aware that Ive convinced myself I was pg on these 'symptoms' before and been wrong so I really need to just wait and see I think. I can't test tomorrow because we're away overnight so, if my chart stays positive, I'll try again on Monday at the earliest.

Waves to velvet blackkat loup aandr lily collie yrmotb and all the lurkers

mouse I'm going to wait until I'm sure it's not a chem pg and then call my obstetrician and the clinic - the clinic give me a freebie scan at 7 weeks and I think my obs will want to see me at about 6 weeks, so I've got another couple of weeks just sitting around waiting as I'm only 3+5 today so still way too early for any doc visits to be at all meaningful.

I'm glad your chart is looking good. And FX for you too Tina :)

bee Good to hear that you're feeling a bit more positive, and I don't think it's impossible that some of DH's supersperm may have survived for long enough. FX for you too :)

Wow lady great catch up, life in NZ sounds pretty nice and it's great to hear you being positive

Looking good for Tina and mouse fx for more bfps next week

I'm having a funny af here and where better to go with my mentalling queries than here sorry if tmi but here we go

I'm either 10 or 13 dpo today I had spotting on Thursday then what I thought was af yesterday very dark and enough to fill half a tampon (sorry) yesterday evening through the night and this morning nothing so far and my temp has gone up again to 37.05 (usual coverline being 36.6 ish. I know it doesn't sound like imp but could it be or is it just my wtf body taking a while for af to properly start....? Anyone got any thoughts? Thanks ladies xx

dachs sorry meant to say hi and good luck for next couple of anxious weeks, I hope they pass quickly and are uneventful, great great news on the bfp

Thanks for the charts ladybee. Last month my temps didn't really shoot up until a few days post ov, so fx this month is the same and I did actually ovulate! Happy birthday to ManBee, and glad you are feeling a bit more positive, I sometimes do the same and try and think of all the positives about having an only child - mainly the lack of sleep deprivation!

That all sounds good mouse, I'm hoping for more bfps this week!

That all sounds strange loup, have you tested today?

I think that collie meant that her cat had had to sacrifice fish to throw them at dachs...but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!

Still waiting for news from yrmotb, is everything ok?

Welcome home Tomboy

Waves to everyone else x

Forget my mentalling took a test bfn so went for a run to shift 2ww comfort eating weight and getting cramps and af so finally I can get on and enjoy a few wines before getting back to swi again! Holiday next week hope everyone has a good wknd xx

Loup was this your WTF cycle? I had a very similar experience on mine. AF arrived, sort of, spent two days acting like she was just going to bugger off again having done almost nothing, then on day 3 decided to stick around and got going properly. (Then days 4 and 5 were about 50% heavier than normal, which caught me out and was nearly very embarrassing.)

Lady glad you're feeling like you're coming through the worst of everything. Without wishing to be all Thought for the Day, counting one's blessings is very therapeutic.

Well, I'm in a bit of an odd spot. One of my work colleagues recently left for a new job and is trying to convince many of us to come with him. The person who sits next to me, who's easily my favourite colleague of the ones I work with daily, has been convinced and handed in his notice. I've more or less decided I want to go too, which means we need to stop TTC for 2 or 3 months. I would feel terrible if I started a new job knowing I was up the duff. DH thinks I'm worrying too much and we should just carry on (and we've already DTD once this month during what might be a fertile time), but I'm holding my ground for now.

I think this cycle is shaping up to be another odd one (I started getting AF cramps on day 12), so I don't think getting updiffed is on the cards at this exact moment anyway, but I'm in the odd position of hoping I don't get pg this cycle.

Oh yes that would make sense Tina - rather overactive imagination over this way!!

loup enjoy the drinking - I am with LadyB and am happily drinking coffee and alcohol on the basis that it most probably not happening any time soon and I certainly didn't worry about any of this for my first two.

LadyB lovely to hear you sounding so at peace - I know what you mean - the mental shift comes as a bit of a relief doesn't it? Being someone who narrates their own life - I am tending to see this chapter in my life as the gritty, sad bit in what is generally a rather sickenly wonderful life - I have even caught myself wondering whether I now have some of that slightly weathered look that makes older people's faces so interesting!!!

Waves to all - deadline met - having a quiet afternoon loll with the family ..

tomboy that all sounds rather exciting - what sort of work do you do? With regard to upduffedness go with your gut - I get wanting to settle in before announcing a bfp. Just remember that in the general scheme of things mat leave is a small blip and the loyalty companies get from looking after returning mums more than makes up for it ...

Hello everyone - I hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine :)

Sorry not to do a name chaeck but I am just after asking a quick question. I have been having AF cramps for a few days but no AF yet. All of you who had erpc's -can you remember what your first af was like? I amdriving myself insane with worry that I have ashermans and will never have any children :(

I am feeling quite low about it all xxx

Hello all in need of a fish here! 7dpo and having cramps, nausea & dizziness.....
Meanwhile DH has come back from Freetown and immediately gone away again, but only back to Zambia this time, and only till Weds. FF tells me not to test till Thurs
No further news on whether we will go to Sierra Leone, I may be going to have a look for myself in a week's time - BFP and Clexane jabs permitting as it's almost a 24hr journey via Joburg, Nairobi & Accra
Still looking hopeful for you, mouse and keeping everything crossed for dachs and the burrowing.
AandR nice to hear from you and glad about the zen attitude. Send some over here please! Are you still updating your blog?

X-posts battery sorry you're worried I had an erpc in 2007 so can't remember the details other than that erpc was Feb 11th and af came on Mar 18th, my birthday.... After bleeding for AGES. All I remember was that my cycle and af's were totally WTF for 3 months, v painful, and seem to remember alot of brown/black gunk. Which is nice.
Hopefully someone with more recent experience will be along soon x

Thank you lovely ladies. I just want my crap body to get back to normal.

mummya I have been reading the ashermans thread on the MC board which of course is freaking me out. I have never wanted AF so much.I realise that it is rare, but I know that my luck is so crap that i would be then one. I emailed Dr Lower the last time after my erpc but it turned out I was ok then. I am worried about costs if I end up seeing him (jumping the gun here) but I have just forked out to see Mr Shehata too. Shite crapness that is my body.

zam My dp was offered a job in sierra leonne recently but turned it down as I couldn't go with him . Good luck when you go for a look. Oh and here is a big wet haddock to slap yourself with :)

battery remember that if you think you are actually having your period and the blood is trapped you can get a scan and ask if they can see pooled liquid in the uterus - you could do this anywhere, wouldnt have to be Dr Lower. I would write down all your symptoms in a diary (of FF or something) and hold off a bit longer though, because it really could be on its way. 9 weeks post ERPC would be about right. In the unlikely event that it doesnt come though you could plan to have a scan for next month when you are cramping (hence diary dates) you could also ask your GP for a progesterone test in the second half of your cycle to "prove" that your are ovulating and cycles have resumed. Are you temping? If not, I would start now as it will also help detect if you are having regular cycles again or not. I really hope all that is uneccesary though.xxx

Hello ladies been thinking about you

I've had 3 erpcs in the last few months and AF has been different each time. Most recently it did feel like it was taking ages to arrive. I'm sure, like mummya (who is a fount of all knowledge) says, you'll be fine. I hope it gets sorted for you soon pet.

Nothing to report today. Didn't take my temp (camped in a v cold field least night!) Did feel like I had some pre-af cramps but that's died down now.

Can I start our new thread or is someone else ahead of me?

We got to 996 already? . Go for it mouse, and may it bring you luck

Sorry battery I can't help except to say that sometimes I get random mid cycle crampy pains so maybe it's just that? (I'm terrified of AS too...see my posts a few weeks ago - mummya helped me loads)

Temp still up this afternoon , day 21 today so progesterone must be peaking, perhaps I'm having a normal cycle after all.

(hopes the new thread brings me luck too...)

new thread!

May our new home bring us lots of luck! x
