[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!

Morning all, how are we today? How you doing merk ?

merk just dropping in to say that sorry, but yes, apparently you're supposed to be more fertile just after a cp. Both me and Brave on the graduate thread got pregnant immediately after a cp.

and as you have said Merk a CP means that everything can meet up, which is half the battle won.

Interesting that you are more fertile after a CP. I'm not entirely convinced that I didn't have one last cycle. AF was several days later than has ever been before & although I did POAS & got a BFN it wasn't one of the more sensitive ones so quite feasibly could just not have detected it. I was so emotional for days before AF, had a really sore lower back & a v weird lower abdomen pain. There is some statistic that up to 70% of actual conception can end in a CP & a lot of people jsut don't realise it so pls believe that I'm not completely nutty for being so convinced that I was pg when i wasn't.

frog I wonder the same about January, I had a crazy metalic taste for a few days and a real wtf cycle with lots of odd things (dare I say symptoms). I never got a bfp though so disregarded it.

And you updiffed the next month right Mother? Fingers crossed for Merk then!

indeed I did frog I have everything crossed for her and for the rest of you ladies.

good luck for next month merky moo

Really sorry about AF Merkin. I've been watching your updates the last couple of days with fingers crossed. I agree with Pipbin that a CP shows you're half way there. Frog I had the same sort of thing the last two cycles - nausea, burping (!), emotional, big boobs, but AF arrived on time. Thought I was going mental.

Tally I'm sorry; my moaning about having mixed feelings over the ultrasound is extraordinarily stupid in light of what you have been through. It probably sounded very insensitive and for that I am sorry

Cats my cousin's wife is an attention whore; from the look of it, the internet exists to give her a platform to tell the universe her every movement. She's always had an issue with her shape, and I guess was finally seeing some progress after getting on meal replacement shakes, so when she discovered she was accidentally updiffed hell who am i kidding , she kept on with the shakes 'for added nutrition'. Basically, she is thick.

oh sidney don't worry, I'm just feeling sorry for myself. you are perfectly entitled to be worried about them, and I probably was in a crappy one-upmanship type of mood anyway. of course my problems are worse than anyone else's and you should all sympathise with me right now!

SidI really hate how the Internet gives people the opportunity to over share in this way. It's the main reason that I've stopped using FB. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be without it for so many other reasons, but I do think people who are already self-centred play to the audience, as they wouldn't have one in any other context.
Bit of good news today. Insurance will cover consult with gynae re the amenorrhea. Wrote the GP a note to ask him not to mention ttc in the letter and he didn't. That must have helped. Got an appointment tomorrow evening. Hurrah! cherry - made me think of you, as you have been going through this for longer than me. Could you get a referral by saying that you are not ttc? It could get you through a door and some clomid or something to kick-start the cycle. Any word about the vitex?
sargasso my friend did the most amazing burps throughout her pregnancy. It was hysterical! Not for her, I know.....
merks how are you?

Hi sargosso are you joining the gang?

Evening all, good days all round?

TMI alert currently on my back as DHs mojo has def returned, too bad it's a week and half too late

Just to make sure there's no remaining doubt about my crazy level of optimism, I decided that as the last two days have been pathetic amounts of spotting which is all I ever get since post pill I obviously wasn't having a proper period and was probably pg therefore didn't need to shove anything up there, as it were. Cue me being proved wrong in the middle of a literacy lesson and having to leave the teaching assistant to it while I ran to the toilet. I really am a sensible person, honest, but this ttc thing has started driving me a little crazy.

How are you doing merk? Sounds like it's got to be your month!!

bunny fx the mojo sticks around a while

Thanks barking so have you not had a 'healthy' period since you came off pill then?

Oh no, barking. In the middle of literacy too! Do you think it's a good thing that you're having a heavier period? That is, that your periods are less like withdrawal bleeds? Im getting a bit obsessed by periods....

OBEM has started.

It wasn't actually any heavier when I got to the toilet, just a spot in my knickers (sorry, sorry, TMI.....)
No cats every period since stopping pill 16 months ago has been crazy light. I usually get one 'decent' day, but that's still light compared to previously, and never anything requiring more than a 'mini' tampon, regular ones are now too much.
Maybe I should add my light periods to my list of ttc concerns!!

Hey pot, how are you doing newbie? Not good eh?

Did you find the thyroid thread useful?

Good work on the mojo bunny! And sorry to hear about the af disaster barking

Would love to join you on the sofa boodle but DP is home so OBEM is being recorded for me to watch later this week on my own!!

barking mine were just like that, one day, or sometimes half a day of normal flow then it tappered off and I'd have another couple of days of spotting. Never enough for a tampon I had to just use pads. Try not to be too disheartened. I was used to heavy periods but when I said that to my doc he said I hadnt had 'periods' for 10 years as I'd been on the pill and shouldn't class my 7 day break withdrawal bleed as a normal period as it wasn't. Didn't really put my mind at ease but I'm diffed so I guess he must have been right?

My two periods were also v light.....

barking mine were like that until I had reflexology, now I have 2/3/4 days of proper period which my reflexologist says is healthy periods! But if it worked for mother who knows!
