Hi everyone - I've started the new thread as our original one is nearly full.

I really hope that this is the one where we all get our BFPs and don't have to experience any more heartache.

Oh dear, blol and anda, not good days for you.
blol your dance sounds very impressive. Shame you can't do that exam, but I know you'll want all the best for this bean eh? Can you keep up doing the dancing otherwise? And do you dance with a partner. I see what you're saying about the af- got fingers and toes crossed that it is af now.

almond, good that you feel relieved re netball decision. Good to look after yourself too. Funny that you were in a similar situation with jobs. Maybe fate will step in and decide for me- ill leave it up to her as long as I can!

anda, could it be like a mini bleed? Are you going to get back on ttc now or still waiting? You were doing opks before- perhaps you could try again if you feel ready for it...?

IBelieveInPink · 04/12/2012 20:36

Janie I had the erpc on 25th october, and got af on 1st dec. maybe just go to docs and ask the question, just to put your mind at rest?

Blunder, yay! Woohoo to last af for a long time!

Coke, fingers crossing it is af. I had that on the day before mine 'properly' started iyswim, and appeared with avengance the next day. Along with some impressive cramps! Here's hoping for you, then you me and blunder can all be poas at roughly the same time at the end of the month! Wooo!

andadietcoke · 04/12/2012 20:40

Blunder yay for you! Are you on a 28 day cycle? I worked out that if today was CD1 my next AF would be due 1/1/13. New year, new start Grin

BumpKitty · 04/12/2012 20:41

hey i want an AF too :( finally stopped bleeding a few days ago now I'm wanting it to start again! (janie my ERPC was 16th Nov - still waiting for AF)

blunders i agree with the others see where fate takes you, you may not even want the job and it would be a shame to waste a month of dtd

andadietcoke · 04/12/2012 20:44

IBelieve ooh, hope so, in the weirdest possible way! I can't think that I've ever wished for AF and cramps before!! I've already felt pretty uncomfortable today so maybe it's a bit of spotting before it starts properly tomorrow. Fx. (I'm so weird)

IBelieveInPink · 04/12/2012 20:50

Coke not weird at all, I felt exactly the same. I actually did a little celebration dance when it appeared! shh, shouldn't tell people this

Kitty, sending super strong af vibes your way!

blundercatsHO · 04/12/2012 20:58

anda, cycles weren't massively regular- 28-32 days really (never was that in tune with myself!

I would LOVE it if we all could poas at a similar time.

Having said that, I still don't know it was af, could have been a relapse (had cramps for last two days though so hope that's a sign). kitty I think I know exactly how you feel, sounds like we all do!

janiewoozle · 04/12/2012 21:16

just looking up some reflexologists in belfast - the acupuncture seems really expensive and i just can't afford it at the minute :(

my old 50 day cycles seem to have turned into 60+ day cycles but i guess it's always odd after a mc. sorry i seem to be feeling awfully sorry for myself today, normally much more positive!!! chin up!

Bumpkinmunchkin · 04/12/2012 21:39

Ok ladies I decided to join the b gang and see does it bring me any luck!!! Thanks to all for encouragement but poas again this evening and bfn. Cd 29 today so I guess another wtf cycle for me. Going out on Xmas party on thurs so think I will drown my sorrows.

Huge congrats to Betty on bfp!!

Blunder hope that its af starting and as for ttc versus new job, I'd throw caution to wind and what will be will be. You'll always find a way to manage.

Janie I feel your pain on the long cycles. I had erpc and first cycle lasted 103 days. I nearly went around the twist. I too have piled on weight but a lot down to comfort eating. Fx af shows up soon.

Anda could it be implantation bleed? Were you ttc?

Blol and almond glad all is going well.

Peanut here's hoping that it is implantation pains.

Waves to everyone else I have missed.

BlingJingleJanie · 04/12/2012 21:56

ok i've now got a lucky 'B' name to bring on AF (janiewoozle)!! bring it on! x x x

blundercatsHO · 04/12/2012 22:10

Chin up bling (nice name btw). There must be cheaper alternatives you can look at. Like homeopathic things perhaps? like this?

I don't really know about alternative stuff but I'm sure there are things you can do so at least you're doing something.

bump 103 days?!! oh. my. god as they say. I'm not surprised you nearly went mad! Do you opk?

posyplum · 04/12/2012 22:13

Hello everyone, just wanted to update you all that I got a very faint positive today on a cheapo Asda test. Sorry I've not been on much lately. I have been getting a bit fed up of ttc after five months since mc and have been trying to trick my body into forgetting that I am!

Don't really know what to feel either - I don't feel like I can really get excited about it til at least 8 weeks, which is after I mc'd last time. That's it really. Hope everyone is OK and that the chain of B-BFPs continues (think I had a very belated lucky fruity one!) xxxxxx

BlingJingleJanie · 04/12/2012 22:23

blunder thanks so much for that. I remember chatting on here before avoid the Angus Cactus (sp) stuff so might take a trip to holland and Barrett. Oh boys have it so easy!

BlingJingleJanie · 04/12/2012 22:26

And yay for your line posyplum ! Fx for you xx

posyplum · 05/12/2012 05:09

Thanks Janie. Have just read back through the posts, what a horrible ordeal you've had Xmas Sad. So glad it's not what they thought it was and that you can ttc again. Fwiw, my cycles were definitely messed up for several months after mc, and it's now 6 months since mc that I have got a bfp. I honestly think that for some people it must just take a bit longer to kick back into place but a big fingers crossed it will all sort itself out for you soon.

Blundercats just read your job posts. Have been in a similar dilemma - I say go for the job and carry on ttc. You only live once. I wondered whether to hold off ttc this month as I have applied for a few jobs, and have now got a BFP. Still not sure whether to still go for t'interviews, but at the same time, there is no reason why pregnant people shouldn't get new jobs, in my biased opinion!

Blol glad to hear your scan news - how exciting. How many weeks are you then?

Almond how are you feeling? Worked out your leaving date yet? Grin

xx

posyplum · 05/12/2012 05:09

I mean Xmas Grin !

messtins · 05/12/2012 07:40

congratulations Posy what a fantastic roll this thread is on! May all your beans be sticky ones, ladies.

Bakingtins · 05/12/2012 07:44

So I'm going to climb on the B bandwagon - do you think it will bring me a New Year BFP?

blundercatsHO · 05/12/2012 08:22

posy congratulations! Xmas Grin. Totally understand you not letting yourself get too excited but it's lovely positive news for now, especially after all those months. I agree with you about jobs for pregnant people, life doesn't totally stop once you have children right?

janie, good idea about holland and Barrett. Are they good at giving advice there as well?

tins, nice B! Let's hope it does work!

BelissimaLol · 05/12/2012 08:24

Morning.
Posy I'll be 6 weeks on sun.
Did my cb digi just now and got 3+. So happy!

blundercatsHO · 05/12/2012 08:28

Xmas Grin lol x

blundercatsHO · 05/12/2012 08:38

I think I may have spoken too soon re af. Oh well.

BelissimaLol · 05/12/2012 08:53

What do you mean blunder? Is it not af???

blundercatsHO · 05/12/2012 09:08

I don't think so, it seems to have been a bit of a false start as it were. All the normal symptoms, but now they've all gone. Maybe it's the same as pink experienced and it'll come back again. Confusing times!

BombasticPeanut · 05/12/2012 09:33

blundercats, janie, hope af stops being such a tease soon x

bakingtins love it, can sense your bfp on the way Grin

posy congratulations! Chuffed for you, gives me hope that even us longterm Fred-dwellers can can knocked up eventually!

I couldn't sleep last night, I kept having to wee and then was so hungry my tummy was grumbling. Could it be...? I'm going to be SO disappointed if everything is imagination and false alarms Confused

Off to take an insane springer and two very pissed-off cats to have their photos taken for dh's Christmas pressie now...should be fun! At least it'll take my mind off symptom spotting for a bit!
