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!

Agree when Wilde. Need some good news
I've nothing to report. Cd7 so only thing in the horizon is start of shag fest!

Yep..good news please!

Happy b'day & fx for 2moro hayle

wilde - i only do a wee bit of teaching, one adult literacy group and a v small music class once a week. Rest of the time its research, dvelopment and funding apps for me - i used to be terrified of the teens, they are def the kind of kids who would have beaten.me up when i was 15 (well some of them) but now they just give me a good laugh!

I nipped into superdrug earlier - u can get 4 x own brand tests for £8 at the min btw - and im.around 8 or 9 dpo(ish) sp even tho i know its a bit stupid to test before 12 dpo i did. BFN booooo! Oh well af not due for another 4 or 5 days so just have to hang on in.there til.the weekend and test again then if witch is a no show...

happy birthday for tomorrow hayle! have you any plans apart from pissing on a stick?!

superdrug tests are meant to be good aren't they little. Still a bit too pricey for me with my poas addiction!

Peed on an ov stick today and was blank, blank, blank which is marvellous, because after I had the positive opk at cd22 it was still showing a significant line. This means I most probably did ov on Friday instead and my body is now chilling out on the 2ww. Which means I am 4dpo and definitely not 9... ho hum. Longest 2ww in the world eva. we stopped the sex just before i ov'ed so my chances, desite the marathon, are actually pretty low this month.

Just checking in quickly as have to be round the corner in 5 minutes to eat a burger (and visit with a friend) but really to eat a great big burger!!!!

Wild, great your ov stick is clear, and will your description of travel plans in more depth later.

Wow, 3 of us awating "news"! AF not arrived here yet. I too use the 10 ml from home health, will heed your advice Wild. I did find a cheapie from pound shop that I bought ages ago, used it this morning and still bfn. Still hormonal as hell.

Right, sorry to post and run just wanted to see if there was any news, off ot find my burger!!!

Enjoy your burger one, I'm about to tuck into pizza Mmm!
Dh us working 14 hour shift tomoz do im fonna go round and annoy my mum! PossIble tea out on thurs as dhs day off!
The tests I've got are 20mlU so not hopeful they will be sensitive... Say 99% accurate anyway!

good luck for tomorrow peeps :) I might test too, in solidarity. I will be 5dpo you know, high time for testing... no?! oh.

am working tonight booooooooooooooooo.

very envious of burgers and pizza!

Thanks wilde but you never know!!
I caved in and tested few hours ago... BFN! Still no sign of AF but no sign of anything else either... Hmph!!

Right, will have to have a burger tomorrow night now!!

The burger was wonderful, it was a fancy one with chorizo in the mix and with an onion marmalade rather than just onions, mmm. And I met up with one of my best friends and got to be in bed by 9, perfect!

Mmm, Pizza Hayle, good call! And may I wish you a very happy birthday! (it was the only thing in the shop - hope it fits).

What film did you see Chuckle?

Wilde I think I started testing at 7dpo just so I could get a good run at it, you certainly don't want to waste those poas opportunities! Sorry about your cold and childminder falling through. Can you take some time off and look after your lo and your cold? "Jollydaying" My favourite new word! And I love your plans and wish I would ever decide to do something like that.

Fx Littlemiss and sorry about the tinnitus, my OH has that all the time and it sounds very unpleasant to say the least.

Cheese and Lol, I scrolled up and couldn't figure out where you are in your cycles, hope things are going ok, Lol, it's still early post mc days for you???

I am up. I am starting to get (more) anxious. Felt tearful/anxious at work again yesterday after feeling fine in my little cocoon all weekend. I woke up this morning at 2am and couldn't stop thinking "what if what if what if what if". I'm now officially in one of the longest cycles of the last 18 - that doesn't count the months of pg/mc, and I'm frightened. I've moved through obsessive, desperate hoping to get pg, to thinking it won't happen, and yet it remains what I want, and it's associated now with the worst thing that's ever happened to me. That's too complex, I think if I do get pg I will fall apart.

Luckily I have the day off tomorrow. I've got luxurious plans to meet one friend for cake and another for an early dinner, in that order, I wouldn't want to spoil myself for the cake! On the way, if af still hasn't arrived I'll stop by boots for those rediculously expensive frer tests. And to host af's arrival if/when she does come I've got an especially nice bottle of wine cooling in the fridge. (apologies for self indulgent post)

wilde, I am sure we all promised not to let you test early again!! However I think I did mention that while I want to tell you not to test I just love poas so I can't bring myself to shout 'noooooooooo' at you!! Hope your childminder doesn't cancel and you feel better so you can get lots of lovely work done ( and have poas time if you want it!!)

one your burger sounds amazing. I hope you find out what's happening with tjus cycle soon. Its been a long one. Its understandable that you are going through every emotion under the sum, especially with the timing of this long-un. I hope your cake makes you feel good (cake always works for me,,)

happy birthday hayle and fingers still crossed!!

Dd having nice long lie in this morning so im still in bed, not lookng forward to this time next week when I'll be in work

Ps we saw the new Bourne film. It was ok. I got Ben and jerrys so I ws happy!!

Morning guys! a BFN over here this morning but still no AF.
An now 2 days late so only two explanations. Cycles are longer or I am pg and the sticks aren't picking it up. Last pg I got a BFP the day before period due but using more expensive stiks so may pop and get some with the lower number on.
Hope there's some good news to follow!!

Thanks Chuckle, middle of the night ramblings are never good, although it was helpful to understand how anxious I am about this and how complex it is, that I don't just think pg "Yay!" and not pg "Boo", that I'm also scared of pg and AF brings some tiny bit of relief with her. I was talking to a really good friend at work yesterday about other non-work stuff and just felt like I was going to explode and couldn't think why, you can't help what you can't understand so I feel a little less worried this morning.

Sorry to use you all as my middle of the night therapist though, there must be a rule against posting at that hour of the day, like the one against texting while drunk!

We saw the new Bourne film a week back, OH thought it was great, I thought it was lesser than its predecessors and the begining had us both confused for a little bit! But I like going to the cinema and having ice cream so will wathc most things!

Hayle, remember that helpful website you pointed me to about dpo and positive pg tests. Each pg is different so just because you got it early before doesn't mean you will again, there's hope until af arrives, hope you have a lovely birthday.

chuckle I won't test at 5dpo never fear I will wait.

one how are you today? Busy out and about and buying a frer?! Am not taking the day off! I would be a nightmare if I couldn't work today. I am only happy working. Poor you and being all anxious. I know how you feel. Sometimes the pg thoughts can get so claustrophobic until you are just dying to think about something else!

good luck hayle. Messed up cycles are a bugger (which is why I do opks or would be thinking AF due any day now when actually isn't due till next week! I hate not knowing) and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

I haven't been to the cinema since DS was born :( We don't have any family nearby and hardly any friends (boo hoo) so no one to babysit. I LOVE the cinema.

hello all!

wilde - does your local cinema do baby screenings? our local odeon does one on a tues morning and it's only £3 a ticket and you can bring kids up to the age of 2 for free, and they show...adult movies! (well not adult like XXX, adult like rom coms and stuff lol) used to love that when DS was younger, he would hate going to the cinema at the min tho, just loves to run and climb and shout and stuff!!

happy birthday hayle

one - so sorry you're feeling anxious, completely sympathise. After spending a lot of June and July feeling very under the weather with pregnancy, and then having to have erpc i'm now feeling pretty good again and i'm both excited about / dreading being pg again, dreading feeling disappointed if AF shows up at the weekend, also very nervous about if AF doesn't show... rollercoaster emotions! hiding from them all baking buns and marinating barbecue stuff for DS's birthday tomorrow

our house saga continues - we managed to get chimney fixed up at not huge expense and we're getting it cleaned at the weekend and hopefully that will solve damp problem. now something has gone wrong with electrics! ready to scream!!! no probs really with house apart from the odd thing over last four years and in last 4 weeks it has started falling to bits around tenants ears! argh! electrician going out to take a look this afternoon, fx it's nothing serious, the money and general organisational stress can't be conducive to ttc

being v good with folic acid / no wine/ healthy eating / lots of exercise this week tho... no more poas til saturday tho! i can be strong! right??

Hi hope everyone is feeling ok!
One- I am on cd8 today. First cycle after mc which happened on 20th July. Feeling positive and getting ready for shag fest lol!

Went to Boots, bought tests, went in and out of other shops setting of their alarms with my pg tests, kind of funny, got home, went to loo, have started spotting. AF on way, poured glass of wine.

just popping in - one you sure is AF? how many dpo are you again? big hugs and - or hopefully ...

yay for shag fest lol

little DS is 2.7 so no go there, but thanks. would probably scare him anyway! good luck with house saga :)

I'm 14 dpo, getting cramping now as well. V mild, but cramping nonetheless. And I've got all these expesive f'king pg tests now. I haven't had any sense of being pg. I've had a bit of hightened sense of smell and taste and I had all that seemingly good ov'spotting, but none of that knee ache, you know, proper stuff! I've had a new sensation of twinges, but it also feels reminiscent of the cervix snip so never seemed to be a positive sign to me. Anyway, OH came home and cuddled me while I cried. I haven't cried over an AF since the mc finished. I wish I could just crawl into a hole somewhere for the next ten years. On the upside, I bought a steam mop today.

Oh One that is really rubbish - enjoy your wine (and glad to know you can console yourself with a steam mop!)

I'm still waiting for AF after MMC (CD 35) am making DH DTD every 3-4 days anyway just in case ovulation sneaks up on us (gave up POAS for ovulation after about a weeks worth as who knows when it will be).

one! Hugs for you. It is so hard :( I totally empathise, I am dreading next week. Am sorry it made you cry. But...

you CAN get pg! You can - you did. And you will again. It is hard to get pg but most people do and so will WE.

x

good luck fidget that sounds nice and relaxed. My dtd eod experience this month was my first and last. Is very hard work and makes it hard to sort of think about anything else! we were just so sex mad

what's a steam mop? (want one)

am being a total twat and reading the may AN board. what a twat. this is what working all day and night does to one. I think I'll have a june baby anyways, although get this for an ironic pg - I don't really talk to my dad therefore not my half bro or sis on his side either any more, sadly. DS was born early - on my half bro's b'day! what are the chances. And if I got preggo this month FF has told me that baby would be due on my half sister's b'day. I don't let my Dad see us so he has never met DS but obvs can't forget about him cause of the b'day. weird!

one can I joking your club? :-(
AF arrived in the night 3 days late, hmph!!!
How is everyone today?

aw hayle I'm sorry. are you ok?

on the veeery little upside, 3 days late isn't too wtf. bodes well for timing the shagging next month?

Thanks wilde
Currently sitting at work with a hot choc!
I'm fine about it as to be honest I knew it was coming just got a little hopeful when I was late!
Dh has agreed that eod HAS to be done this cycle now whether we like it or not!!! I'm not too keen on a late summer baby as when they start school they will still be a baby!
I also went on the may AN board just in case, maybe I'll stay away from
June until the BFP arrives!!
Hope your feeling better today one

I did see you on the May thread. I nearly introduced myself back on the march one, I was so convinced I was pg.

ho hum.

Hot choc! Oh. Em. Gee. gottadetmesome.

My filter coffee has made me jittery!

oof eod - will you do it all cycle (for like, two weeks like we did this cycle) or just over fertile time? Do you get fertile signs to help you know when to time it?
