I couldn't bring myself to call her a bitch, we still need her help! Come on ladies, let's do this thing....

Hello my lovely ladies. I apologise for a late appearance normally I've been asleep for hours by now but I've been mostly spending my evening in the pub. Yep. Hic.

fod there are no adequate words- I'm do sorry to hear about your brother. He can still beat it though. It is such a shitter how life kicks you when you're down.

pink, yeah why not. I know you can handle an early bfn if you need to, so pee away if you like!

janie yeah next thurs if you like. Anyone else for a next Thursday poas-athon? fri obv better but we can work around that

cam, we're talking normal sneeze coinciding with a 'pants sneeze'? I'd say maybe the official term for that would be a gush? Not had it before but everything goes post mc. Hope you both feel better.

Thanks

Just caught up over the last couple of days - you ladies have been busy (and chatty - which I love!).

Fod - I am so so sorry to hear about your brother - it's truly awful especially after the time you have had recently. Sending lots of hugs and positive thoughts my lovely xx

SaggyOldClothCatpuss · 08/03/2013 00:47

Fod Im sending you all my love. Just remember, 20% is 1 in 5. Statistically speaking thats fabulous odds! Stay positive my lovely. We are all here if you need us!

GardenWorm · 08/03/2013 06:37

Janie In theory i.e. if i can hold out that long I can join you poas next Thurs (not literally of course - that would be odd!) Grin
Fod sorry to hear life is throwing crap in your face at the moment, thinking of you x
Shell Fingers crossed!
IBIP Toes crossed!
....can't remember who's 'gushing' EWCM but legs are crossed for you! (Some months I have had a ridiculous amount too ;o)

IBelieveInPink · 08/03/2013 07:16

Fuck. Faint pink line. I'm scared.

Bodicea · 08/03/2013 07:25

Good luck to everyone peeing on a stick today xxx

pink that's fantastic news why you scared?

IBelieveInPink · 08/03/2013 07:29

Because the last 2 have ended in mc. This is everything I want and I am so scared I am going to lose it again.

Thunderbuns · 08/03/2013 07:29

Waaaa!! pink yay!!
Scared is very understandable. Stay positive though.

Am thrilled!

Where's shell?

Bodicea · 08/03/2013 07:31

fod so sorry to hear you news. Nothing any of us can say will make it any better right now but I would hold on to that 20% but I would hold on to that 20%

Bodicea · 08/03/2013 07:34

pink I know what you mean. I keep thinking I will be more surprised if this one is ok than if it isn't. Gotta keep thinking the odds are in our favour. The law of averages is in our favour. Third time lucky etc

IBelieveInPink · 08/03/2013 07:42

Btw I apologise for my language. 7.30 is Waaay to early for the f word.

Lucky13ForBaby · 08/03/2013 08:06

Firstly really sorry for the sad news fod as others have said do hold onto the fact that he still has every chance of a recovery. Big hug. Sorry to all those who have found themselves here since my last post, Mother Nature does truely suck sometimes. Congratulations to ibelieve and any others with bfp. I've had recurrent Mc so know how scary it is. I liked the Moro on here a while back 'today I am pregnant'. Stats show that this time you are most likely to have a sticky bean. Onto me! Well I lurk here but find it difficult to get chance to post. My last mc was in October last year. I am in the 2 week wait and now slowly going insane so thought I'd drop by for some support from you lovely ladies. I'm due on on Tuesday but caved today and tested, bfn of course! Silly silly silly! Please help save my sanity!

JanieLovesCake · 08/03/2013 08:14

Eeep pink I understand your fear but think posifrickintivily!! Exciting!!

garden yay I'm glad you'll be my poas buddy! When are you secretly thinking of poas before that?! Just because I like systems, of course I poas this morning, ya know Friday poas day an all. Obv bfn! Waste. Of. Sticks.

Happy Friday everyone, any nice plans? I'm going to a friends album launch tonight which is exciting Smile still not sure what to do about drinking....

shellshock7 · 08/03/2013 08:18

pink yay! And I'm joining you...fuck pink line here too with a FR too so it's defo...cramps have gone so that was just implantation right?

Not confident at all tho...but this has to be an omen: I remembered this is cycle 3 post MC, not 2 (MC was in Dec so I've had Jan, Feb and now Mar right?!) and I got PG with DS 3m post MMC and the MW then told me to wait 3m as the body takes that long to settle down...it's gotta be a positive sign Grin

4+1 oh my god

JanieLovesCake · 08/03/2013 08:25

Oh shell this is fabulissimo!!! Congrats to you too!!!! We're in a roll here girls!!!

And hi lucky my mc was in October as well, and I'm due to poas next Thursday along with garden so we're here for hand holding Smile

Floweroct · 08/03/2013 08:29

fod so sorry to hear about your brother

liesl yay for af!

pink shell woohoo! Fingers crossed for you both

Cd12 today so off for my scan following my first round if clomid really scared it won't be working and worried how ill cope if its not. Why is this all so bloody hard why can't we all just have the babies we want :(

Thunderbuns · 08/03/2013 09:20

This is a brilliant day- 2 bfps and one earlier in the week. It almost cheers me out of my hangover funk!

pink, not to take anything away from your understandable fears, but I have to say that you are very good at getting pg. What's your secret? (says the woman who can't seem to have sex at the right time, as if she didn't know what was going wrong).

Lucky, sorry for the bfn but well done for sticking to the system I don't need to tell you it's too early so there's plenty of hope!

Hey flower, good luck today. Come back and tell us how you get on? x

IBelieveInPink · 08/03/2013 09:31

Thunder, no idea. Mr pink is feeling very proud of his super sperm!
I have an app - what to expect fertility - which tells me the most fertile days, and we do it every day in that period. I also am a fan of sticking legs in the air for 20 mins after. That's it though

To be fair, the second one probably didnt stick properly. So not out of the woods yet with this one. Will wait and see.

Thunderbuns · 08/03/2013 09:37

See doing it every day is a problem for the thunders, but I am impressed with both you and mr blue's super swimmers. Everything crossed for you that this is the one!

WillSantaComeAgain · 08/03/2013 09:53

Ooooh, happy and sad news today. fod fuck fuck fuck. You poor sausage - life really has got it in for you. However, as someone else said, 1 in 5 are good odds, so keep on going hoping for the best.

shell and pink - fabulous news. But also yes, totally understand you on the fuck fuck fuck thoughts. But I like lucky13's motto, of "today I am pregnant".

leisl - glad AF has shown up... but you've scared me on the dates which I was well aware of already Terrified that the 2013 bus has its engine on and is about to pull away from the bus stop. Which is why we're DTD every other night until I get my AF... want to catch the first ovulation post mc. I'm running down the road shouting at that bus to wait for me.

BumpKitty · 08/03/2013 10:22

hey all long time no see I have been keeping up though...

hi fod i'm so sorry life is throwing every manner of crap at you at the moment, I haven't been around for a while as my mum died in January - (sorry this is meant to be making you feel better, she had no chance of cure though). Anyway what I wanted to say was I came on here and chatted about that too and it does help to have somewhere to vent about everything so please feel free to talk about whatever you want. and i really really hope he comes through it xx

right now, huge congrats to ibip and shell and can I join in Grin BFP today! I waited till Friday to test mainly as I was scared, but I'm 4 or 5 days late so I was getting my hopes up despite having no symptoms this month (and LOADS last month!). I am scared but also very happy, will not be telling family for a while so will mainly be stressing on here :)

JanieLovesCake · 08/03/2013 10:32

Hey bump!!! And HUGE congrats!!!!! What lovely news after going through such a tough time. Really delighted for you Smile

And Santa I've fit my fx that you can make your seat in the bus :) just make sure you've got a ticket (ie plenty of dtd!) xx

IBelieveInPink · 08/03/2013 10:33

BUMP! That is fan-fricken-tastic! Yay you! Oh my goodness, does Friday poas club work?! Yaaaaaaaay!
I also not telling anyone until I get past a couple of dates. Last time my hormones didn't go up at all, so if they do, I will go to docs, cry for a scan (or pay if they won't) then I will tell people. Going to be hard as I an useless at lying and everyone keeps asking me!

Thunderbuns · 08/03/2013 10:40

SQUEEEEEEE!!!! Bump!! Yay!

Now then next Thursday poas-ers...are you sure you don't want to stick to the system and wait for Friday?

This is just what we all need, some good bloody news!

JanieLovesCake · 08/03/2013 10:49

Oh crikey I'll try but I can't promise. I'll do what garden does eek! I don't have any tests left so ill not buy one til next week so I'm not tempted SmileSmileSmileSmile
