The Elderberry Pavlovas are pimping everyday – a lovely thread for 30+ ladies TTC #1 (Thread 7)

[CatsCantFlyFast]

Newbies very welcome provided they meet the entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months, must have a special pot, NO instadiffers) and bring a bouquet of sausages when they join!

oh merk I am so so sorry, I was so sure you were diffed. I would guess that it was a chemical, the silver lining is that you will be more fertile this month, everything crossed for you!

merk, from what I've read, it does sound like a chemical. As mother says, the stats suggest you'll be more fertile this cycle and you know that you can conceive too.

btw, sid, cousin's wife sounds even more bonkers that I had thought with the weight-loss shakes. Does she not care that it's not healthy, or is her figure more important?

Thanks everyone. Please elaborate on me being more fertile this cycle??

er, not sure merk. Maybe stuff I've picked up on other threads. Google not much help either. sorry.

Sausage slapping needed to prevent me convincing myself wondering if this is implantation bleeding 5 days after the first BFP

I'd also guess chemical pregnancy. If you Google chemical pregnancy increased fertility you get lots of hits.

Is Mr Merk being supportive?

Merk im very sorry about your shitty evening. On reading through this fab thread have now downloaded FF and put in my witch dates, also received free opks with the preeseed ordered from amazon but unsure about temping at the moment.

Unmmm gravy, ill take a seat here then.

Bunny - pud would probably be easier to type but I answer to pretty much most things

ILoveMyCats - helloooo!

Merks - . Pants and knickers and nuts to AF. (I'm a right potty mouth.)

Welcome Yorkshire / Pudd! (Have you decided which yet? We can't possibly call you by the actual name you have chosen...it's just not the done thing!)

Tally, as others have said, temperatures during /just after AF can be a bit wacky! (I know mine always are!) Trust the first temperature and wait until the end of the cycle - you will probably find a pattern emerges eventually!

I'm not sure where Connie has gone either, although (whispers) I was having a little snoop on the BESH thread last night and I swear there is someone on there who posts in a very similar style to our old friend. Unfortunately, this person was having a very bad time of things, so I hope it's not her, but y'know when you just get that spidey-sense / deja vu feeling? I was getting it, big time!

If you're still out there, send us a sign! We miss yooooou!

merk its something to do with your hormones, not too sure, mr google is prob more help but i'm sure the month after a CP you're more fertile.

Also you know everything is in full working order, if nothing else that is good to know. no consolation I know

I did have some browny/red blood on the morning before AF was due, a couple of wipes and then nothing, it was enough to panic me though! I'm afraid only time will tell....still got fx for you.

Oh merks

Just about to watch OBEM, haven't watched any this series, not sure if this is a good idea or not

Hang on, how are you watching OBeM? That's a Wednesday! Jealous and worried I am missing out

Oh, is that why it's quiet on here?! It's OBEM night! Right, that's my cue...

Oh...I'm one night premature. (

its not Obem night. I'm off for an early night. I am swinging between believing this is over and absolute disbelief this is AF (temps still up, only v light brown spotting at this stage). Therefore decided sleep will stop me stressing. Enjoy the onsie dancing and OBEM

Soz to excite, I've got 11 OBEMs taped that I haven't watched yet!

Night, Merks - I'm going for an early one too. Not had a good day (will not divulge as it's 'out' worthy) but it's nothing compared to the stress you must be feeling. I really hope it's gone in the morning - a bit of bleeding is so common in early pregnancy. I'm crossing fingers, toes, legs (no DTD tonight so it's ok) for you.

I wouldn't watch the episode aired last week. Woman in her 30's who had to be persuaded by on off partner not to have an abortion and admits to being selfish, chav with attitude who has decided that she might give this mum thing a go although she was tempted to carry on having fun instead when she found out she was pg, she won't be a single mum 'cos chav sister will be there to help. And teenage pregnancy whose uni plans have been scuppered by yet another accidental upduffment. Found it all a little more than depressing last week!!

Night all! Having tried to cast on and start some knitting while watching a film with DP I'm now on the 4th attempt and have yet again realised I've messed up the 7 stitch repeat pattern somewhere on the first round!!! Bollocks and bollocks again! Giving up and off to bed. Tomorrow's another school day....

Ugh maybe I will just watch the eps then with sensible old birds (like us) who are settled and sane!!!

So sorry Merks :(

Yes, last week's obem was instadiffer central. The other woman got pg after sex with friend on Xmas eve and didn't get morning after pill as it was Xmas day & chemist closed, but thought she'd be ok. She gave birth wearing false eyelashes and full make up.... barking, the chav sisters upset me mucho!

oh merkin I'm so sorry. join in with the depressed hugs over here.... I just got back from a girly night sewing and chatting to find out I should have been here with wine and chocolate (even if I can't have either because of my migraines) and a big snuggly quilt to throw over everyone so we can snuggle and comfort each other.
I really hope it means good news for you next month though, I'll be keeping my fingers (and unfortunately legs) crossed its your time.

Oh Merk so rubbish.
However, are you sure it's AF? You say it's just brown spotting.

Also, someone earlier said something about overnight trolls this morning. What did I miss?
