Sorry if I missed anyone :-)

rache - ta for agreeing with the sensible approach to the 2ww - especially at this time of year it is impossible to not drink without people jumping to the wrong (well, right, possibly, fx!) conclusions - I'm sure it can't do any harm that early on anyway - millions of people get upduffed while pissed

bunny - don't feel silly - I was crying about it all to a couple of friends the other day too - it turns us all into mentallists

TMI
Looks like AF when I wipe. Ie mildly brown.

There goes any secret hope I had. Might as well POAS and be done with it. What's the point.

Zombies could it be implantation or is AF due now? I think implantation is more likely to be browner rather then red?

AF is due in four days but I would have expected some v mild brown by now in the normal course of events.
Thank goodness for MN, I couldn't have had this detailed a discussion with DH well I could have, but he would have run a mile after

run a mile not "run a mile after". That makes him sound a lot more athletic

Don't give up Bunny, it is hard but you know it will be worth it.
There's nothing wrong with letting your anger/upset out though and we're always happy to hear it x

..... well not exactly happy but I hope you know what I mean!

Zombies well if AF still isn't here properly then you're still in the game and I have everything crossed for you. The early PG symptoms are so similar to AF it's enough to drive the sanest person mad!

Thanks rache stepping away from the pee stick and keeping fx.

Nod nod to Rache, Zombies. I had totally written off my bfp thinking it was af. Now I'm 8 weeks tomo :)

Fx you feel better soon Bunny.

oh and yay for exciting scan news Blol and Rache! And what a way to break the news Hazle, so pleased for you :)

I now have proper ms, combined with huge infected hair follicle in unmentionables. In total agony, sobbing with despair every 15 minutes, but still strangely glad to be vomiting. If only I could sit down, I'm sure I'd feel much better.

Happy weekend people x

Zombies, fx for you
Bunny, massive hugs

Agree on symptoms being similar to af! Don't give up hope until its over.
Today my DH did the dance exams I had to give up due to being pg. He came home with a bronze AND a silver medal in Latin dancing! I'm so proud!! Just had to share x

Thank you lovely ladies x

Had another meltdown this morning, tried to DTD but hubbys heart started racing (and not in a good way), not sure if it's coz we are both unfit or if he has a bad ticker
Had a quiet sob in the shower, don't want to cry in front of him anymore as it just makes him feel worse and then i had to get out of the house and go shopping.
So all we managed was day 13 this month, now day 17 so don't see the point in trying anymore even if hubby wants to.

hugs bunny. sound like you need it xx

Bunny what I am going to say may sound very insensitive or crass but I assure you I don't mean it that way. (And i would not hesitate to go down this road if i had issues re DTD for whatever reason in the future- I suspect it's not for everyone and most people's DPs if not they themselves would have a problem with it).
If health issues are creating a problem as far as DTD is concerned, is it possible to use the sterile syringe route on a day when DTD is a problem? I don't think it's for everyone though and you may have very strong feelings about it.
Please don't flame me, I mean it only in the spirit of trying to get pregnant (which is the holy grail at this point for me really).

Oh no I've killed the thread :(
bunny please come back, I mean it in the most constructive way and nothing I wouldn't do myself if I needed to :(
Please ignore my post if the concept is abhorrent to you.

I'm still here
Feeling knackered after Xmas party but actually enjoyed not getting pissed and am loving not having a hangover. Silver lining and all that!

And I'm still here too! Albeit from a very remote island in Thailand...

Am sure bunny understands you meant it in the nicest possible way.

Bunny - sorry to hear you're down You WILL get there in the end, it's just a shitty time in the meantime...x

Zombie I have definitely considered that approach. I'd be OK but not sure OH would be OK with it.

Anyways.... I'm back after a week of radio silence. Really busy and lots of Xmas parties buuuuuuuuutttttt this morning with a bit of a hangover POAS and BFFP!!!!!

Big relief to get pg again but the mc worry has already kicked in. Have started my baby asprin which I'm really hoping makes the difference this time but not getting excited until I get another couple of weeks under my belt.... Worst case scenario, we have a third mc and then I'll get a referral for investigations.

Just to add my tuppence-worth to the conversations I've read on here about when to DTD - this month was only twice! Once on first day CBFM gave the egg symbol and day after! We've had months when we have been a lot more prolific and got absolutely nothing so for all the planning and timing of DTD, it seems to be down to nothing but luck.

Don't want to ginx anything but Est DDate 25th Aug.

Now I'm off to check my knickers for the 100th time today!!

Of bottle red that's amazing news. Mahoosive congrats to you both. Right maybe this is the start of the festive flurry of BFP's we've all been waiting for... Fingers crossed...

Congrats bottlered hope its the start of a few more BFPs!!!

Yay Bottlered! That is fantastic news!

Massive congrats BottleRed!!! FX for a Santa sticky one!

For what it's worth on the turkey baster front, personally I would absolutely be up for giving it a go. I want my DH to be the father of my offspring but I wouldn't care if that happened by shagging, from the end of a self-administered syringe or in a petri dish in an IVF clinic. It's the end result that I want and I wouldn't care how I got it.

Congrats bottlered!! Great news!

bottlered - massive congrats!!

I've just been out for lunch with a bunch of old school acquaintances who seem to have a zillion kids between them - properly depressing [sigh]
