After m/c - the wine and shagging thread: no 2!

[wilderumpus]

Hello ladies!

So we have had our mc's... and are moving on and thinking about making new babies :) Hurray, hurray!

Where are you in your cycle Cheese? fx

And I put on a massive bit of weight when pg (mc at 11 weeks), and ate through the months following it. I'm still ok looking if I don't try to wear trousers and fitted tops... i.e. normal clothes. But I recently gave in and bought 5 dresses in the sales for work and now feel quite glamorous and have decided that dresses are totally the way to go - and saves me loads of hassle as I'm someone who is incapable of putting an outfit together and often would go through most of my wardrobe of a morning trying to find an outfit I thought was ok!

What time was Sheldonella's apppt?

Just popping in to see if there is any news from sheldonella

I knew what you meant ice, thanks!!

We have just stuffed our faces with a celebratory chinese takeaway and DH is having a bottle glass of wine (and then we have promised that tomorrow we will go back to being cautiously optomistic)

I am assuming you havent POAS yet cheese but will be able to v soon, well done - you are a stronger woman than I have ever been!!!

I am a dress girl too one, especially for work, so much easier getting dressed when you just need to grab one thing. I especially like dresses that dont need to be ironed....

All is well, little dancing baby measuring 9+6, 1 day ahead of what I thought it would be :)

So so relieved.

Chuckle so happy for you too!
one Yay for the pos opk! Fx fx fx. I've also taken to wearing dresses, always feel good in them.
cheese fx fx fx for you too

I also put on weight with the last pregnancy, didn't lose it and now have put on more with this. I think it is time to buy new clothes for me.

Fab news sheldonella, I'm so pleased.

Yay! So pleased for you!! :-)

sheldon that is fab news too! Nearly 10 wks - How wonderful.

Gosh, am so relieved.

yay chuckle and sheldon that is brilliant news, am so happy for you both. oth so wonderfully preggo

ice lovely to see you chuck.

I put on weight with my 'pg' too and then after the mc. About half a stone and i can't shift it tho shredding at least makes me more toned and less flobbeley (?!). I am not a dress person usually but this year have a few and I love them! Will wear on holibobs too and feel all ladylike hiding thunder thighs

yay for your pos opk one! get thee shagging! Mine was soooo nearly pos again today but no cigar :( and my other fertile signs aren't there yet. boo. Yesterday and today got a sooo near pos in the am, then negatives in the pm! Bizarre. Am oving late this month then... thank goodness for opks or I might have stopped dtd tonight thinking I always ov by cd20! Will carry on dtd eod. I guess my body must be gearing up to ov but for some reason just not quite popping that eggy. i don't know why, am not super stressy i don't think... hmm. has anyone else had this?

Great news chuckle and sheldon. Brilliant to see healthy, wriggly little babies.

Yay for Shedonella!! Will go back to work tomorrow and do another celebratory jig in the hallway!

And my but aren't we a bunch of ladylike dress wearers?! It also hides my thunder thighs Wild, and thunder ass, and thunder belly. My shoulders look dainty - must find ways of emphasisisng my shoulders. I think I also have thunder calves. Basically I'm a sturdy girl. (GOd am I also a tpisy girl after one glass?).

Now, Wilde what other fertile signs do you get, do you mean cm or is there something else? And here's to you getting your positive opk soon. Thursdays are good days for opks.

I listened to a tune on my ipod on way to work this morning and I decided to adopt as a bit of a fight tune against any further mc's, it was a strange idea but I decided I quite liked it. Um... that's it really, just wanted to share. Anyone else done anything silly like that? (giggles off back to bed with topped up VERY nice glass of vino, ommmmmmmmmmmmmm)

yoyo got another crazily close to positive opk this morning! (morning always the clearest time for me to to test for some reason) arf. Could be positive but.. hmm don't think it is. will test again later when am sure it will be neg like the past two days! I feel my body is gearing up... sore boobs, achy womb, spotty, very bloated and have some fertile CM but just isn't quite getting there. :( Maybe work and DS are stressing me out more than I think.

Am really on edge today. DS is doing my box in. time to get out of the house I think! or send HIM out into the garden while I nurse a cup of tea and ponder fertility!

I'm a really bad friend! Friend went for her 20 wk scan today. We were due just days apart. They really wanted a girl but it's a boy and a little part of me is pleased they didnt get what they want! I feel awful now :-(

Oh dear ladies in very sorry for my outburst. Emotional wreck today.
Was totally uncalled for
(holds head in Shame)

Cd25, cycle length usually 23-26 days, no preg symptoms at all.

Girls,

Am heading off on holiday tonight (driving down to near Bergerac in deepest French France...with the OH and 3 kids in tow....)

Just popping in to say hi, and good luck on the 2ww. Also keeping fx for sheldon and chuckle

Enjoy your hol Ice :-) hopefully some more good news on this thread for your return!

Hayle, I've had the odd unkind thought, don't beat yourself up, it just shows that you've been through the wringer.

Hope you get your pos opk soon if not already had it Wild?

Ooh, Ice, I'm jealous jealous jealous! Hope you have a great time.

Cheese, you might not get symptoms for a while, have you poas'd?

Hayle, i just realised I assumed your emotional wreck was because of mc so didn't ask what's the matter, how are you today?

Yay sheldon, fab news! Woo hoo!

And really interesting info about the 7+3 - 7+6 being a really crucial stage in pregnancy - I had a scan at around the 7 weeks mark and everything was ok, a few days later the spotting started and then at 10 weeks they picked up a mmc. I'd been so sick with both DS and with this last one too that I just assumed everything (apart from my poor stomach) was ok, so it's interesting to know that for the next time and hold my breath til after 8 weeks...

Have a great time on hols ice! We're going away tomorrow just overnight because I have a voucher for a b&b to use. Supposed to be 20 degrees here tomorrow and b&b is right beside a big forest park - perfect for duck feeding, picnic and gruffalo-hunting with DS lol

Just went on Fertility Friend again - took me ages to figure out how to re-set my cycle, since it was insisting I was on CD100 or something. Hard to say what to count as CD1 after erpc but I just picked the day after the op. I guess it won't be a proper cycle til AF has been and gone but I'm kind of hooked on recording when we dtd on my phone app. Very romantic. "How was it for you?" "Quiet, I'm updating my fertility app" lol

That gave me a giggle Littlemiss! For me it's "hand me that pillow please".

lol lol yep, i'm all about yoga-style shoulder stands! Even though we said we wouldn't be actively ttc until after AF has been and gone me and DH just decided to give it a go this month anyway, even though the chances of getting a BFP immediately following erpc aren't great. Keep calm and carry on shagging!

I get the odd fat where i dislike everyone whose pg and gas no idea what an mc Is like. This particular friend I've known for 14 years and was due 3 days after me. I am pleased for her just sometimes it hits home that I should have been finding out the sex this week too and gets me down.
Fine today and counting down till I can POAS! 10 days!
Will check back in later as on my phone ATM!

day has
Oh and because she was going in how much they wanted a girl I was just thinking be grateful you still got yours :-(
Ill be pg soon :-)

It's hard stuff Hayle. When I was pg I'd never mc'd before and had not struggled to get pg, so I was clueless and insensitive about other people's experiences with this. I can see that same unexperienced eye looking back at me when people at work tell me they're pg. They're just thinking about their amazing own world. And what I wouldn't give to be in their shoes.

DPO 2 here. Had a massive wave of nausea this morning so of course I must be massively pg now and it had nothing to do with the dodgy dinner I had last night. Oh, and I had more spotting, just a little this morning, so am back to thinking it's my cervix snip that's not quite healed and worrying that I've missed a great opportunity this month fertility-wise.

Dpo? Have a feeling I might known what it means but someone enlighten me just in case!
I'm getting better at seeing othe people who are pg or announcing their news but because my friend was so close in dates she's experiencing what I should be, then Begin to question what did I do wrong! Life sucks sometimes!!

DPO = days post ovulation
