So the last thread disappeared so here's the deal: I realised it's really annoying to drive yourself mad wondering if you're pg during the 2ww. Newbies welcome!

havealittlefaithbaby · 03/07/2011 22:10

Was your luring successful pg?!

PatientGriselda · 03/07/2011 22:35

Nope. We both ate too much and ended up too fat and queasy to do anything at all energetic! How about you?

havealittlefaithbaby · 04/07/2011 06:14

Yup :) 6 in 7 days! DH is officially a stud (think that is the most since honeymoon!).

PatientGriselda · 04/07/2011 07:41

Wow, well done! We're in holiday next week, so i am pinning my hopes on that.

NinjaChipmunk · 04/07/2011 09:12

that's impressive faith! Bet you need to relax in your hammock after that!

what a lovely day, shame I'm at work. AF due tomorrow or weds. Waiting with baited breath. Or not.

pg are you off abroad or staying in he uk?

princessamz · 04/07/2011 09:13

hello everyone!
im back!had absolutely no signal on my phone or dongle while i was away so couldnt communicate with the outside world.good thing i suppose as im completely relaxed now after a week of lazing about :)
according to the ovulation calculator im ovulating this week so been very busy since i got back ;) trying to stay as relaxed as possible as i dont want to jinx anything.
sounds like its been a productive week for some of you with appointments and normal sperm :) hopefully one of us will get a bfp soon x

NinjaChipmunk · 04/07/2011 09:27

hey princess good to hear you had a nice time. I think its nice when you go somewhere with no reception sometimes as then no-one can bother you. I think it does make a difference to how relaxed you get.
Enjoy your jiggy jiggy!

DizzyKipper · 04/07/2011 10:41

Thanks girls

I'm not back at work until next week, so unpacking duties fall to me. And emotionally, don't know really Griselda. I've noticed since my dad passed away I've become a lot more fragile emotionally - getting upset and teary a lot more easily, and feeling very unhappy/bad most days. I know that often I'm not coping that well and I do need to do better. This may sound hard but compared to losing my dad the MC was nothing really
I'm considering trying out tryptophan supplements but need to look into it regarding ttc and pregnancy, I know antidepressants is absolutely off the table for me whilst I'm ttc - regardless of how safe they may say they are.

6 times in 7 days is impressive faithbaby

Glad to hear the holiday was nice and relaxing princess. It is good to cut yourself off from everyday life and all the stresses that come with it from time to time.

NinjaChipmunk · 04/07/2011 18:48

Well I'm out for another month. Again.

havealittlefaithbaby · 04/07/2011 19:14

Oh no ninja that's rubbish!
Welcome back princess! I'm go

havealittlefaithbaby · 04/07/2011 19:15

dizzy I completely understand what you mean. Loss of a parent is indescribable, you just have a mass

havealittlefaithbaby · 04/07/2011 19:24

Oh for goodness sake!
....you have a massive void is what I meant to say. The good news is it does gradually get easier. It's four years since my Mum had cancer and the anniversary of her death in October. I miss her like crazy but not as often and not as intensely as I did at your point in the grieving process.
If I may suggest, maybe the difference with your mc was you hasn't really had chance to get to know your baby and bond with it? Whereas you'd had a lifetime with your Dad. How you feel is how you feel, its not right or wrong, or cold even, its just feeling however you feel in that moment. Hang in there honey, one day you'll look back and realise how far you've come.

NinjaChipmunk · 04/07/2011 20:49

oh dizzy losing a parent is a huge thing to go through as is a mc, my thoughts are with you and I'm a firm believer that it takes as long as it takes to grieve, each person is an individual with their own feelings and grieving is very important. I can only begin to imagine how it must feel.

queenrollo · 05/07/2011 13:37

hello all. AF got me while on holiday - knew she would...

Had an awful weekend, DS so lonely with no playmates and has compunded my feelings of failure at not providing a sibling for him. I never intended for him to be an only

Not heard from hospital and she didn't give me any indication of how long it would be before my ultrasound/hsg appt came. Need to ring GP and see if i can have blood tests done there rather than at hosp. It'll cost me a fortune in parking fees if i have to go there every time i need blood taken.

havealittlefaithbaby · 05/07/2011 17:55

Sorry to hear that queenrollo. Weird with NHS isn't it? Like we've had to wait months for DH's SA but I've got a letter to call about my Hsg as soon as af arrives.
I agree you GP practice should be able to do your bloods.
I feel rubbish at the moment. Easy for my impending holiday. I'm tired and feel so low! It can't be pms surely its too early?! Only cd18...

NinjaChipmunk · 05/07/2011 21:55

sorry about af queenrollo, how was your hol apart from that? how was glasto?
don't blame yourself for not being able to give ds a brother or sister. I totally get what you mean and its such a horrible feeling, I want to give ds a sibling almost as much as I want it myself if that makes sense. It really rips me up inside with feeling like I've failed him in some way but it is not our fault and blaming ourselves will get us nowhere.

faithbaby could you be feeling tired and irritable because you have fallen with child....

i've decied to have a break from the dreaded facebook as yet another of my friends has posted pics of her newborn and another keeps posting pregnancy updates. I can't cope with it and its not good for me so I'm staying away. I've got enough other crap on my plate at home within my family at the moment. I'm even going to delete it from my favorites list on my laptop so I'm not tempted. And I have decided that tomorrow is a new day and I will be happy and positive but today I'm miserable. I've been to the dentist and it was horrid. I've had a haircut I don't like. My parents haven't even put their house on the market yet and already I've had my mum round as her and my dad aren't speaking due to the move. And af arrived yesterday. Hurumph.

havealittlefaithbaby · 05/07/2011 21:58

Aw ninja its very understandable that you feel rotten under the circumstances! Bit of tlc, early night, positive attitude in the morning! Early night for me, am shattered!

NinjaChipmunk · 05/07/2011 22:08

yes i think an early night here to. On the plus side I have started taking my conception multivits again so that a good thing. I'd been a bit slack in that department recently.

queenrollo · 06/07/2011 11:23

holiday was good thanks. Got soaked and muddy at Glasto and then the Sunday was baking hot so we've had it all.
Well we dtd last night, even though we were both tired because DH has to overnight in that London tonight because of work. Mind you its better than his old job where he'd occassionally have to do a whole week away.
Have booked appt with practice nurse to have day 21 bloods done.

I am almost convinced now that it was taking agnus castus last time that got me pregnant, but can't start taking it now as i could affect my blood tests and i don't want to screw up with the NHS now i'm in the system.
You're right Ninja I shouldn't blame myself. I said i never wanted a big gap, but my relationship with DS dad fell apart right at the 'time' when i would have ttc for another so it was out of my hands. And of course being in a new relationship meant doing the sensible thing and ignoring my broody urges.

I have been naughty and started smoking again while away. And i need to start taking my multi vit again too.

Did anyone else see that article on the news yesterday about dental hygiene affecting fertility? It depressed me mightily as I have gum disease and it is recurrent and I can't keep it away (there is evidence for it being genetic/hereditary and I have a family history, though my gran who lost all her teeth to it had 13 children so maybe it's rubbish after all). It made me wonder as it can be a factor in prem birth and Ds was 4 weeks early. I have to stop dwelling on this stuff.....

NinjaChipmunk · 06/07/2011 11:40

thats really odd you say that as I went to the dentist yesterday (having to go every 3 months at the moment as have gum disease that won't go away). She was cleaning my teeth and she asked whether I was either pregnant or anaemic as they were bleeding so much when she cleaned them. If you can find a link to the article I'd be really interested. I'd never thought about the two affecting each other before. The dentist told me to use corsadyl mouthwash for a week (yuckety yuck), use interdental brushes every day and interestingly to eat much more fruit and veg to get more vitamin c as she didn't think I was having enough and it was affecting my gums.

can you talk to the nhs/ nurse/ gp/ anyone about taking agnus castus again? I have no idea how it would affect bloods.
and slap on the wrist for smoking and not taking your vits. Naughty girl. In all honesty I think thats quite mild if you've been at Glastonbury!

there it is ninja.

I'm not the party animal I once was! I only managed to drink about three pints over the whole weekend too!

Agnus Castus can have quite a strong effect on your hormones, so I think i need to see what's happening with them naturally before I start taking it. I do have a medical herbalist though so if i do go for more natural medicine to help me along it will be prescribed by a professional.

LisaJayneS · 06/07/2011 16:09

Hi everyone - room for a newbie? We are TTC No 2 (our son is 2 and three quarters).

We've been referred to the fertility clinic and are currently still TTC after 18 mths. Have had the day 5 and day 21 blood tests many months ago (seemed fine) and a HSG (seemed fine). Hubbie has done 2 SA - 1st showed low motility but second we think was ok - although follow up with consultant next friday.

Weird reading your posts as it SOOOOOO true what you say about the time after ovuation - I'm a nervous wreck and if I so much as blink too much I find myself wondering if that is a sign one way or the other. And as for the days AF is due - I must go to the toilet every 15 minutes or so! Ridiculous!

I do have a question - what does 2ww stand for? 2 wondering weeks? No idea!

Anyway - would be good to chat with others in the same boat - what stages are you guys at?

Thanks
Lisa xx

LisaJayneS · 06/07/2011 16:13

Ninja just rereeading some of the old posts - and we, like you, had no real trouble conceiving No 1. We first got pg 2nd mth of trying (although then I miscarried) and then second time around it was mth 3 (which was our son). so WHY SO LONG THIS TIME??? HUH? Doesn't make sense :(

Lisa xx

queenrollo · 06/07/2011 16:23

Hi lisa - yes 2ww is the 2 week wait.
18 months for me too, though with different partner this time. Wasn't straightforward conceiving my DS but no-where near as bad as this.
I find the last few days before AF arrives are my worst in the whole month. The rest of the time I'm generally rational
