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.

I have done a bit of knitting but I'm petrified of knitting patterns- I have no idea! Would like to knit myself a tank top- think I'm being too ambitious!

[icklemssunshine1]

There are websites that will de-code the patterns. I'm starting off small. I found a site that just said to knit the hat all I have to do is knit 60 rows of basic stitch & then sew it into shape. We'll see how it looks at then end! Still when I'm doing it I think about the little bean so it's made with love and that's all that matters. Soppy I know!

[alyant79]

Ickle that is a really lovely idea.
I can't knit for shit but can crochet,

So far nothing more had materialised from af/implantation bleed so still going to poas tomoz. Bought the sticks afterall

[icklemssunshine1]

Fx & lots of positifrickinivity :)

[WillSantaComeAgain]

I have thought about taking it easy for a bit, but we did that before and I now regret the time "wasted" (all three of my pg have been as a result of a concerted effort). So I will just keep my eye on the endgame (the baby) and not the shit it takes to get there.

Anyway, in another rant, the f*ers at NHS Blood donation wouldn't take my blood because of the two mcs- and dint want me back till I've finished having kids. It's my go damn body and I want to choose what I do with it

[Bakingtins]

Wow this thread moves fast. I've been up to Birmingham for a couple of days at a work meeting. Nice to think about something else for a few days, though there were plenty of bumps and a few babies around even there.
Welcome to any newbies, good luck to anyone who is POAS tomorrow.

Evening all,

I recommend joining ravelry if you knit or crochet (or want to start) as you can find free patterns ( and ones to buy) that others have then knitted and posted pics so you can see if you like them. I have started a cardigan as my first knitting project as I saw lots of Others had knitted it this one
Loved the Sewing Bee - great inspiration and lovely beardy judge to ogle but did find Winkleman's commentary a bit patronising at times (cos I am that good already )

Waves at blackholes - but sorry you are here as well

Well I shall be POAS-ing tomorrow, have no idea if/ when I ov'd and have had some brown gunk last night so AF is likely on her way, but I have "felt" pg today - twingey tummy and funny feeling that I can't finger on.

[Thundercatsarego]

choc that cardigan is BEAUTIFUL! Its my perfect piece of knitwear. Are you serious that's your first project?

Ooo another fx for tomorrow!

[icklemssunshine1]

Thanks for the tip chocolate. Checked out the cardi, not sure I'm brave enough for that! Fx for you tomorrow, I'm a big believer in "funny feelings" :)

[IBelieveInPink]

Fingers crossed for all poas-ers for tomorrow. Choc- funny feelings was what told me I was 2nd and 3rd times! (1st time not the foggiest!)

And thanks for the reminder about the sewing bee- I meant to etch tht and forgot!

[JanieLovesCake]

hello chatterboxes, had to come searching for you guys! hope you are all doing well. wanted to say good luck for all the posers tomorrow. set your alarms early girls :)

i also LOVE that cardigan chocolate. i can't knit so no attempt trying just now, but MIL is a whizz at every type of needle craft so i might show her it and maybe she'll help me :)

[ChocolateCremeEggBag]

I had my mum help me get the wool and right needles, then ravelry has helped with the tricky new accronyms, but it's basically ALOT of knitting and purling. I have only done hats and random scarves up to now, but wanted to make something I'll actually wear (possibly) if I was going to put all the effort into making it up. Have managed the collar and about 2 inches down so will be ready for autumn I should guess!

I have my eye on a tank top for DS - but need to save up for the wool (hobby craft 3 for 2 offer seems to be the best I can find)

Have been constructing a tractor for DS to wear to fancy dress birthday party on Sat . The theme is "favourite character from a book" - DS is in to the sale ads at the end of the Farming Times and his tractor ted/Tom books, so is a no brainer. I bet he will refuse to wear it though

[Mummytothearkbuilder]

Evening chatty ladies!!

Weasel - sorry to hear your mc was confirmed Hun - be kind to yourself and give yourself as much time as you need.

Blackholes - welcome, sorry you are here - it's so sad that there are so many of us but its a fantastic thread for support.

Saggy - thanks for the vitamin b info - did you start taking it on cd1 - I'm cd10 at the moment so wondering if its worth starting it this cycle - I don't ovulate until cd25-28.

Good luck for anyone POAS tomorrow - fingers crossed!! X

[alyant79]

Yup that's a great cardi.
choc funny feeling sounds good. Fx.
Little bit more brownish gunk for me. But if it is af it's 3 days early. Hmm.

Thanks for the fx janie and pink, nice to see you! and thanks everyone else too

[shellshock7]

Good luck for POAS Friday - hope we get some BFPs

santa they don't want my blood either till I've finished having kids, was a bit put out at the time but the reasoning makes sense...we take vitamins to aid any PG so why would we give it away, but was upset when I had just MCd again and was trying to do a good thing!

[jmf294]

Hope there is hCG all around for those POAS tomorrow.
Thinking of you all xx

[GardenWorm]

weasel so sorry to hear your mc was confirmed, hope you are being looked after in real life X

Hello everyone else, less than an hour to poas and I'm on a quick change over shift so will be back checking at 6am on the commute, for any early birds! Good Luck Ladies x

POSIFRICKINTIVITY coming your way

[Weaselicious]

Thank you lovely people. Being v well looked after by DH, and though I can't knit for toffee, I do stitch, and the wonderful Emily Peacock does some fab designs. Hugely therapeutic. Will keep my fingers crossed for those POASing tomorrow, hopefully I'll be joining you soon. X

[ChocolateCremeEggBag]

BFN for me this morning - Just using cheapy hpts from eBay until I think it's worth a better one.
As I didn't get a peak on CBFM I have no idea if/when I ov'd and DH was away last week so didn't have much chance
Will see if AF shows up and maybe test again on Sunday if not.

Fx for everyone else Poasing

[alyant79]

Well. I think that I can see a v v v v v faint line. BUT more clear evidence of af: actually a bit of red gunk, not just a brown tinge.
So I'm either going crazy and imaging the line, or there was something there, but it's not going to stick.
If that's the case I'm ok with it. It's hard to make a proper human and I want perfect. And would it prove that super sperm do work, just not quite right this time.
still could be implantation bleed but unlikely

Boo choc, but with no AF could still be too early

[ChocolateCremeEggBag]

aly fx on your faint line!! I have been peering at my stick and think I'm now convincing myself I can see a line where there clearly isn't one.
Let's see what the day brings - hopefully not bloody AF!

[Zeuxippe]

Well the poas update here is I think there's a faint line!! But not going to cal it a bfp yet, will poas again next week...

[IBelieveInPink]

3 for 3! Meep! I will cross fingers and toes and legs and hope they are all sticky ones for you.... X

[Zeuxippe]

Fx choc and aly too. Faint lines all round!!

Can we have a second poas session eg on Sunday??

[Bakingtins]

Fx for all these faint lines becoming stronger ones!
