TTC after MC - nice people in crap times, full of posifrickingtivity

[WillSantaComeAgain]

Welcome aboard ladies (though obviously sorry you have to be here). We're a friendly bunch so come in and plump up a cushion for POAS Fridays and lots of posifrickingtivity. With a few (gentle) fish slaps thrown in for good measure.

santa there's nothing wrong with seeing the positives of our situation. I'm trying to do the same but not succeeding as well as you. Actually the first half of my cycle I'm pretty good, the second half all I can think about is whether I might be pregnant again . Would be far better to get on with life properly, need to make that a goal I think.

Hi all, hope you don't mind me joining? Ttc again after two miscarriages, one straight after the other with one AF in-between.

Welcome.

Sorry for the brief intro! I'm pretty sure I oved at the weekend and dtd. I'm really quite scared about being pregnant again but feel a need to have another baby! Nice to meet you all and hope everyone is doing ok today. Here's to many bfps tomorrow! X

Thanks for the invite and welcome, Saggy!

Shit! I'd forgotten its friday tomorrow!
Right! Who is POAS tomorrow? ROLL CALL...

I will! Provided af doesn't show her face first...

DAMN!!!! was due to poas tomorrow but pretty sure AF is starting.
tiny tiny amount of brownish on wiping (sorry, tmi).

Of course it could be implantation bleeding or some such (had that with DD1 and mistook for AF so didn't actually realise that I was pg for AGES), but since this is cycle 0 after ERPC I really don't think it is.

Maybe I'll poas anyway if it doesn't get any stronger just for the reassurance that drinking wine (medicinally, of course) is OK

Hi blackholes

santa this might be a controversial thought, but since you're feeling ambivalent about getting pg again, why don't you take it easy for a couple of cycles?? Don't poaopk, don't smep etc - just dtd when you feel like it? If you're anything like a lot of us, you'll "feel like" it at around about the appropriate time anyway. And then everything will be all fun and games, no pressure, and then maybe you'll want to be pg again.

I'm so bad at following posts

Good luck for scan today weasel and good luck to all the ladies who are POAS tomorrow!!!

I still have 2 weeks to wait
I went on the intenet to check my most fertile days babycentre. It said I should ovulate on the 1st, is theira chance I will ovulate later? Never concentrated on when I ovulate before

Oooh, new thread! Haven't been on for a while as been away enjoying my Easter break but not DTD (DH and I sharing a room with DD & she is easily disturbed!). How are we ladies? 5 weeks since ERPC & no AF so may POAS tomorrow. Have had a couple if days light spotting so not sure if implantation bleeding or ovulation bleeding but at least I'll know this time tomorrow & even if its a BFN I'll still be happy as my body must be getting back to normal. Got my positifrickinivity back!! :)

hello all waves just popping in mark place. am with diy - I've been ok during first 2 weeks - can do other stuff, it's the second (or make that 3 for me grr) weeks that I go bonkers.
Am plunging into new crafty hobby. Am buying a sewing machine yey me.
Good luck to all poas tomorrow.

Did you watch The Great British Sewing Bee Katerina?

Angel I havent been on BabyCentre, but i think that most cycle calculators work on a generic average. In order to understand your own cycle you need to use some kind of ovulation detector like a CBFM or the internet pee sticks, or do CM monitoring or temping. The app on my phone was nearly a week out last cycle.

btw does anyone know if it's ok for cycles to be 36 days in length - is that ever a factor to cause problems?
Am also after some amazing cures to decrease stress. Am feeling quite stressy from work apart from the other obvious reason, but know it's not a good thing to be if ttc. Sometimes feel like my heart hammers in my chest around poas time too. Am going to try and find a cheap yoga class, any other advice for chilling the f*ck out?

saggy yes i did. loved loved loved it! Did you?

MC confirmed today. Am going to hole up now for a while and then get cracking again - DH and I didn't think we could even get pregnant so I guess this is at least a step in the right direction. If that doesn't sound too barking.

Wine for me later.

I saw it. It made my mouth water for the smell of a warm sewing machine!
Maybe you should just trow the pee sticks away. hide them. Forget about peeing altogether until you are totally sure anyway.

So sorry weasel, look after yourself, it takes time to heal. alyant fingers crossed for implantation bleeding then. I am still determined not to poas tomorrow, af due at the weekend and I'm sure she will arrive, don't want to waste another stick!

Even though I know I'm not pg this month, still feel sick, just like I did last month and the month before that, before af arrives... Is it purely psychosomatic, am I going crazy? Never felt like that when we were ttc before.

katerina, what are you going to make? I need to make some curtains and am thinking about making a little playmat for best friend's baby due later this year.

Hi blackholes so sorry it's happened twice, that sucks. Welcome and fingers crossed for you this month.

oooh ickle got fx for bfp for you. Sounds v promising! and others of course.

santa i forgot to say before that's excellent news of being back to skinny. yay!

katerina how exciting to buy a sewing machine. What will you make?
I am making these shorts:

for my DD at the moment and they are turning out super cute.

In the interests of getting my life back on track and trying to forget ttc (and at the same time jinx it into happening) have ordered some fabric and the pattern to make this for myself:

DIY I like the sound of your projects. A little playmat sounds adorable.

Evening all!

Welcome newbies, sorry you are here. weasel, hope you are looking after yourself after a horrible day.

All this sewing talk is inspiring me! Anyone got a cool but very simple beginners project I could try?

Thanks alyant, as I said I have no clue what tomorrow brings. BFP is obviously what I'm hoping for but if not I hope AF comes soon so can start tracking my cycles properly. I was always so regular before that I'm hoping that'll continue. Don't get home til lunch so it'll be a case of drinking a load after breakfast & crossing my legs til I get home!!

Thunder the creative bug of others has also bitten me. I taught mysel to knit last week & half way to creating a baby hat, going to put it away & have it as "present" for the little bean I didn't get to meet :)

Ahhh ickle that's so cute . I definitely want to make something!

Fx to you and aly for tomorrow (sticking with implantation, aly)

I'd def give knitting a whirl, finding it so relaxing & stops me reaching for the biscuits (kind of!). My friend told me crocheting would be easier but I found some really good tutorials on YouTube. The talk of sewing makes me want to try that, there's only so much knitted stuff you can wear! DH jokes that he'll be kitted out in a knitted vest, shirt and trousers next winter. Well that's his Xmas present sorted!! Oh he'll rue the day he called me "Grandma" and asked me to show my birth certificate
