TTC after recent mc - thread 3. Handholding, naff jokes and the infamous Laura Ashley skirt.

[JamesAndTheGiantBanana]

Happy new thread! Here's hoping for lots of Christmas and new year bfp's, and long healthy pregnancies for everyone.

Oh bump that was so soon. I'm really really sorry. Such a hard time for you and your family. Sending you a big hug.

bump I'm really sorry to hear about your mum. Thinking of you.

bump so sorry to hear abt your mum...really hope your getting thru it ok x

SO sorry to hear that bump. Can't imagine how you are feeling, and can't even come close to thinking of anything helpful to say right now. Just hope you have lots of support around you, and know we are here for ranting/listening if you need us.
Life is so not fair :(

Aw bump I'm so sorry to hear your news, I hope you have loads of people around you at this really tough time. Make the most of all your happy memories of your mum and take all the time you need. Big hugs xxx

hi girls, well AF has gone again after a 24 hour visit. really strange for me as AF always lasts about 6 days. anyone else experienced that? went a bit mad on the wine last night and suffering today. just bough more opks and a thermometer on ebay. never done the temping thing before so thought it might be worth a go this time.

OoH Janie, that's odd? 1 day? dare I say implantation bleed?!

So sorry to hear that bump hope you've got lots of support round you.

Janie I've no idea about the 1 day AF. Good idea on the temping - I can't recommend it enough in helping understand your cycle. Use fertility friend for charting.

ibip i can't lie - that did cross my mind but then i poas and BFN :(

and thanks yorkie for the charting advice :)

janie that's rubbish, hope it sorts itself out soon

Forgot to add before....as part of the 'rota' I sit with me legs in the air after DTD for abt 15/20 mins when TTC looking like a mad woman....anyone else?! Or anything else anyone does that they think helps, any tips greatly received

Oh Janie that sucks.
If it helps, I have now completely lost the plot. My quest for madness is complete. I have worked out that if you stare long enough at a blatantly negative pg test, it starts to look positive. Only if you really really stare though!

Shell- I don't exactly have legs in air, but pillow under bum for a good 20 to 30 mins. Even managed to go to sleep like that once!! I'm so classy.

Evening all

Have spent far too much time on this website tonight - wetting myself.

Finally got a peak too so really should peel self off sofa and get to it with DH (sorry TMI)

Tested this morning and finally got my BFN nearly 3 weeks after my ERPC, so now I can hopefully look forward to things being back to normal hormonally and AF in due course, I hope.

Good news Ark Rose. Hope that's the last BFN you see!

Janie I've had a day of weird bleeding each cycle at about CD 21-22. Thought it was start of AF, then it comes to nothing and get AF as expected a week later. Have stupidly allowed myself to think it might be implantation then been disappointed each time. It's happened for several cycles now.

Morning - Just read my last post back and realised that I spend far too much time on MN
I had found the Fail blog site and was PMSL til past 11pm reading the Parenting fails

Second Peak today on my CB fert monitor so should be OV-ing today/tomorrow. Which is good to know as even DH is starting to get sick of DTD (he claims )

Choc- i love those fail blogs. They make me laugh so much. I got caught on one at work as I was literally sat at my desk crying with laughter. Oops!

So, symptom spotting up a storm here, but still negative on Internet cheapies. Woowooo!

Good news arkadyrose hope things go to plan from here on in

choc we are defo following the same cycle pattern..I should ovulate today/tomorrow and me and DH are in the middle of a three day in a row DTD-athon...like your DH we are defo looking forward to the 2WW break

pink what day are you on now?

Af is due saturday. So testing 5 days early. I know, still time.
So, my list of symptoms is now as follows;
Stretchy cramps. Weird dream. Extra saliva in mouth. Occasional bouts of sicky ness. Achy boobs.

So I am either upduffed or just a minger. Uh oh....

Hi all, thanks for your messages - back at work today, not too bad so far.
ibip we are test day buddies, not sure how I feel, deffo sore boobs but had that last cycle andnot a huge amount of dtd. I've been spending a lot of time with my family since my mum died and my brother has 2 kids, with his 2 and my 1 there is usually chaos within 10 minutes, feeling a bit scared of a possible extra one!

Ooh when are you testing? Not that I am going to pretend I will manage to hold out, I have done 3 tests so far!!!!

Hello everyone!

I just feel a bit empty at the moment, I don't have anything to say. Glad you're all ok though, congrats on the bfn ark, and bump how's it going being back at work?

So testing time is almost upon us (you) again!

Hey girlies, well AF decided to pop by and say hello again, seems waaaaay heavier so prob just spotting before, thought I was going to have to give Laura Ashley a visit earlier ffs!! Good luck to all you early testers xxx

ibip not sure, DH asked me this earlier and I said I didn't want to test early as AF arrived one day after she was due last cycle so he said are you going to wait a couple of weeks then! Erm... probably Sunday?

Thunder sorry you are feeling crap, I'm sending you feel better vibes - you know you will get that BFP one day, I hope it's soon.
Work was ok, it was hard seeing people for the first time as no-one knew about my mum at all, they were all lovely but it's just hard to deal with. Tomorrow will be better (for both of us)

Janie glad you know where you're at :)

Morning all. janie yeah I meant to say I had a one-day visit from af followed by a little break and then a full flow. She likes to keep us on our toes!

bump, I remember now you saying about work not knowing about your mum. Sounds like they are a lovely bunch though, which is definitely a good thing. One day at a time chick.

God wouldn't it be lovely to have a few more bfps on this thread this weekend? Come on mother nature!

I'm hopeful for good news pink and bump

It's hard thunder when you're in the first half of cycle, just a waiting game till it can all start up again!

That's good janie...so strange congratulating someone on AF

Just realised we're away at BILs next weekend when it's POAS time, great
