A new thread for all you lovely, crazy ladies. Here's to lots of BFPs!

I can't believe I logged off the other night and missed all the fun. Although I'm sorry to hear others are going through difficult times it is a real comfort to not feel alone in it.

over - I'm so sorry for what you've been through. Idiotic doctor. I hope you're spending the weekend being taken care of.

Sal - did you have a lovely wedding? Sorry if you've already said and I've missed it. Did you have the pregnant friend there in the end? Hope you had a lovely day.

I thought the same about never knowing whether someone from the thread is sitting next to you on the tube etc. I've also tried thinking the same about the graduates thread I.e, not glaring at pregnant women in case it's pink or diet coke or someone else from 'over there'..

CamomileHoneyVanilla · 22/06/2013 15:33

And CONGRATS Rockchick!!!

fedupofrainydays · 22/06/2013 16:10

I like the sound of being in the wine emki.

Our DVD collection is pretty shite. High up on the list is "sex lives of the potato men" and other such movie gold dust. I instead sky plus TV greats such as MIC and ANTM for watching when OH is out. Those programmes make him nauseas (if it was me i would be probably symptom spotting!!)

So we have just had an enthusiastic BD sesh. Decided absence of smiley face wasn't holding me back. DH has now pulled something in his neck through sheer exuberance. I have warned him that doesn't mean he is let off for the rest of this weekend, no, no, no!

Tried a more gentle shoulder stand than the usual head stand - don't want to damage my neck now do we?

I too wondered that in the tube. Particularly when one preggers lady was eating orange peel. Yes, not the orange itself, but the peel. She must have been a graduate!

Squigglypig · 22/06/2013 20:03

I was wondering that too! I'm also in Forest Hill, I was thinking maybe in a year or so we'll be eyeing up other women in the baby groups. Fingers crossed.

BirdsDoIt · 22/06/2013 21:44

fedup I'm not sure I'd ever leave the house if I had sky plus! Am bad enough with boxsets - totally addicted to game of thrones, or as one of my friends calls it, tits and swords. Can't wait for series 3 on DVD!

emki thanks so much for the message - I got it safely - brilliant. Will definitely give her a call. So funny, squiggly, that you're in forest hill too. Can't quite decide if it would be lovely or weird to meet someone from this thread in real life - you lot know more about what's going on in my sex life etc than anyone else bar DH, so from that perspective it's rather odd...but all the same it's very nice to know you're nearby Smile

BirdsDoIt · 22/06/2013 21:46

cam I agree about curbing pregnant woman rage - I try and remember it might not have been easy for them either. General rage levels are definitely decreasing though I reserve the right for it to come back at any moment.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 22/06/2013 23:14

I don't get the rage. I just get jealousy!

alyant79 · 22/06/2013 23:31

So funny, am in forest hill at friends place tonight!

dildoos · 23/06/2013 06:59

I feel I am miles away lol , rage? For sure we reserve right to get rage at any moment and jealousy all the time Angry
Today I have heartbreak hotel as the evil af arrived making me really poorly !!! Left friends last night as too ill to stay was feeling really sick and downstairs issues Sad
Any way enough about me I have everything crossed for the ladies poas Friday Smile

Rockchick1984 · 23/06/2013 08:58

Dildo so sorry the witch got you, hopefully some Wine will help a bit - normally does with me!

I feel like the lonely northerner on this thread! Mad how so many of you live so close to each other!

Fedup the occasional times I've tried tipping upside down after dtd I've had my legs supported against the wall, head going the wrong way down the bed if that makes sense and DH's pillow rather than mine under me in case of spillage Grin

Well, tests are getting stronger so just praying that this one is a sticky bean! Not even due AF until Tue so terrified that it will be a chemical pregnancy although I got an equally early result with my miscarried pregnancy and nothing went wrong until 8 weeks (discovered at 12 week scan) so no experience of chemical pregnancies, think I'm just paranoid after last time!

2beornot · 23/06/2013 09:40

Hi ladies, is there room for another one?

I feel guilty for even thinking about TTC - surely it's too soon?! I only had my ERPC on Friday. Plus I know it's bonkers but I can't help feeling like I'm betraying the one I lost.

The hospital advises waiting until you've had a period until you start TTC again - is this really necessary? Or is it just for dating?

GuffSmuggler · 23/06/2013 10:07

Hi 2beornot sorry you find yourself here. Starting to think about TTC as soon as possible helped me focus on something but everyone is different. General opinion is there is no medical reason to wait for 1st AF they just like you to for dating.

Well I've been feeling a bit rough all weekend, not sick just tired and woozy and 'strange'. I'm either getting a bug or am PG.... can't stop wondering what's going on inside my uterus.

Going to try and hold out until Tues. AF due Mon/Tues..... I'm actually really scared to test as I know I will be crushed if it's a BFN.

TeaAndANatter · 23/06/2013 11:29

Hi Rockchick, I'm a new Northerner - moved to Newcastle area last summer (hi!)

Currently kidding myself that I'll get knocked up again on 1st cycle after mc, and generally avoiding sad feelings via the Goddess of cake. Not great for thighs, fab for emotion avoidance Wink

Misspositivity · 23/06/2013 11:44

rockchick. Excellent news. Congratulations
*over" I am truly so sorry to hear your news. Gutted for you. I hope you are taking care of yourself, you have been through so much
2be. So sorry your here. No reason to wait apart from stressing over dates and heartbeats etc. I think we all know when we are ready. I have heard though that alot of people don't ovulate in that cycle (not sure how true this is ). Either way we will keep you company.

Tomkat79 · 23/06/2013 15:52

2be we didn't wait for first AF post MC before TTC, didn't fall pregnant and kind of glad as first AF was the heaviest I'd ever had, despite having an ERPC. Felt like my body was having a proper clear out ready to go again. Fingers crossed for this month :-)

BlackberryandNettle · 23/06/2013 16:50

Hi everyone, would also like to join you, in serious need of a dose of some posifrickintivity!

Bit of background, ttc no1, fell after 2 months last June but ended in mmc, bit of a nightmare, needed erpc 3 times in the 7 weeks afterwards (retained tissue). We had a break afterwards but now on our 6th cycle of trying again - no luck so far despite being at it like rabbits. Great to find this thread - came on to get some tips really, just started preseeding so shall see how that goes and going to check out DHEA.

Hello and lots of positive thought waves to all X

The old f*cking witch made an appearance today here. Had friends over for Sunday lunch which has distracted me, but the old 'I'm never going to be a mum/I'm barren/I've obviously pissed karma off' thoughts are never far from my mind today. Sad

Cold roasties and copious amounts of cheese plus polishing off the prosecco is now on the cards for supper (we never have supper but I thought it sounded posh).

Welcomed to newbies, hopefully your stay will be short and sweet! Xx

Sal1977 · 23/06/2013 18:14

PS. Kat this this the PERFECT excuse to suggest the syringe......

Penguinita · 23/06/2013 18:39

Oh poo sal, that evil witch Angry

I'm a northerner too rock, you're not alone!

Welcome 2be, I've been asking a similar question. The general consensus seems to be that you don't have to wait for any medical reason. But I would make sure you are getting a negative on a pregnancy test first or you will drive yourself mad, not knowing if a positive one is a new pregnancy or just the leftover hormones from the last one!

I managed a visit from a friend with a 3 month old baby yesterday without any jealousy. He was super cute but sicked up a lot, which helped Smile

2beornot · 23/06/2013 18:57

Oooooh prosecco!!! Just remembered we have some in the cupboard. Feels wrong as its normally a celebrating drink but sod it! Better get it chilling!!!

2beornot · 23/06/2013 18:59

Sorry - sal reminded me.

I think if I treat fri as day one then might be up to dtd at least once in the important range. And then try properly after AF.

I hope you get BFPs soon. Fingers crossed!

RainbowConnections · 23/06/2013 19:50

Hi all. Would like to come back to your thread please. MC earlier in the week. Couple of days of feeling like the world was falling apart but today feel a rationale-defying compelling need to be pregnant again.

May have to convince my DH that we don't need a break before TTC as this pregnancy was right after first MC 7 wks ago.

2be I'm prob not very inspiring on the TTC straight away front but I've been assured that MC1 did not contribute to 2nd MC.

over really sorry about your news, sounds like a very rough time.

Prosecco sounds great. I'm drinking semi-defrosted wine that was accidentally left chilling in freezer too long. Nice! Needs must.

alyant79 · 23/06/2013 19:56

Oh no rainbow Sad. What awful news. Big hugs.

Don't worry guys we're not all practically neighbours- I don't even live in London just happened to be there last night.

Welcome newbies. As has already been said, no need to wait for first af, although waiting for bfn is important. I also had retained products and needed an extra erpc and it was the continued bfp that tipped me off.

Thunder the dress I'm making is this one
www.sewlisette.com/patterns/portfolio
Dress length but short sleeves (not enough fabric!)

Like the sound of half-frozen wine. Haha. Needs must indeed.

alyant79 · 23/06/2013 19:57

sal pooh!!!!! Pooh to evil af. I'd had such high hopes for project syringe
