We will try anything! The big fat posifrickintivity thread of TTC after MC

[GuffSmuggler]

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

that's 1 or 2 days late, not half a day

flohs and missP i'm sorry that your AFs turned up. Do we have anyone left for fertile friday or are we all out?

Oh alyant RUBBISH RUBBISH RUBBISH!

There is nothing worse than getting all excited to POAS and have that massive deflation when no line appears. I'm so sorry, it's all crap

{{hugs}} and a for Aly.I hate the end of the cycle.

Oh crap Aly I'm so sorry AF arrived! Really thought this would be your month! HUGE HUGS to you! Here's to April babies .... xxxxx

Fish slap coming your way xxx

Ive just told DP off. I was being mean. He rang me from work to tell me that one of the office girls had brought her baby in to show everyone. I really think that he was trying to be nice and affirm that he is onboard with TTC, and I bit his head off. I feel really shit now.

Hi everyone. Nice to see you all and I hope you're getting on well.
I thought I would just pop in because I was missing you all after having some time off MN

Not much news with me - I'm in the middle of AF now and feeling pretty crap. I did have a thyroid blood test the other day though, and my TSH levels are now a very healthy 1.52 so I should be pleased about that at least!

I will go and catch up on all the news now and see you later, take care all and Aly I'm sorry for that bfn x

I allowed myself for a tiny second think that it might be my month too. Foolish.
Have told myself that it's a good thing - I'm off to latitude festival next month and it will be much better if i'm not throwing up all over the place

hi thunder! that's great great great news about your thyroid levels.

saggy i'm sure your DH understands.

alyant. I am so sorry to hear this. What day after ovulation are you. With my DD I didn't get positive until day 32 of 28 day cycle. If AF still hasn't arrived by fri maybe time to test again. Although of you ate sure don't torture yourself. Big hugs its horrible. I am very Teary at the minute.

Ihave decided today that feb would have been a terrible time to have a new born. Dark mornings dark nights cold much better to have a spring summer baby, don't you think girls (apart from those whe r expecting obviously any time of year is great just trying to cheer myself up)

After a day being sad have just ordered some ovulation sticks (some very cheap preg tests due to my poas addiction) and a basal temp thermometer. I am good to go. sMep for me. Going to try it for a few more months.

Trip to hotel is in my 2ww so at least it will help pass the time.

Is anyone left to test on fri.

Aly so sorry.... It's SO disappointing when you dare to hope. I convinced myself of so many symptoms I even told DH I was sure I was pregnant.
Such a foooooool.

Missp, Feb would be a reallllly rubbish time to have a newborn. You are so right. Thank you for my silver lining. I was struggling to find one this month.

I am now told grapefruit juice is another helpful hint for increasing ewcm.

Sorry to those with AF and BFNs. Rubbish. March/April babies it is!

Nice to see you Thunder - I was missing you.

I'm in w1 of 2ww. Anyone with me? I have no symptoms. Not even something which could be cheerfully misinterpreted as a symptom.

Has anyone else found themselves coping reasonably well after mc but it kicks in a few months down the line? I'm now 4 1/2 months on and have deteriorated mood wise. Think I may have been in the denial stage and have entered grief. It was pos the honeymoon and having tooth time to think.

thunder so good to hear you - good news about your levels, but sorry you're feeling rubbish! Me too! Grrrr

Camomile I am also in wk1 of 2ww. No symptoms, though convinced by boobs are bigger can't help but have some hope arrghhg!

Eating pineapple at the moment, someone said the ate it for 5 days after OV, so i'm doing it - not sure how much though... think it was bunty if you're lurking let me know!! I do like it, but its getting a bit much now!

I agree missp a March / April baby would be prefect! February is far too grey and cloudy has to be March, can't keep this up much longer

camomile I feel that post mc emotions is something that doesn't get easier with time - its not as raw for me (one Mc last June at 20 wks, and another in February at 8 wks) but at least once week I sink into darkness - feel so sad, depressed - and there is constantly this cloud over me, even when I'm having a nice time with friends/family. I guess of us the only thing that will fix it is to have a viable pregnancy!!! So we know we can get pregnant and the next ones will be sticky beans they just have to be- xxxxx

Reassuring to know I'm not alone. Kat and Emki - your posts could've been written by me. Hugs. X

Love the concept of project desperate. Next thread title perhaps. Definitely where I am anyway. My understanding from too much obsessing is this: grapefruit juice and evening primrose oil helps with ewcm. Pineapple for five days after ov allegedly helps implantation (fresh I'm afraid Kat - I think it's the core in particular). I don't know of any of this has any basis in reality but it helps me feel more in control.

Hello my friends

I totally understand the desperation feelings too. I lost my only pg at 12 weeks and I think now, 7 months later it just doesn't seem like it will ever happen any more. Then at other times I'm full of positivity and imagining symptoms all over the place. This happened before af came last week, even DP said he thought I was pg. so crushing when you realise it's not true.

So are you guys still doing the Friday rules? Glancing back thread it seems they're still there but not always heeded?!

Camomile, totally. Im 5 months down the line, and I am still all over the place. I feel like there was this other me, who was happy all the time not true but that's how it feels and now there is miserable shitty me, who sinks to the depths of despair at the drop of a hat. And it doesn't help that TTC has become this horrible chore that I HAVE to do and pray that it happens and the outcome is positive.

How about "stop trying" apparently you always get PG when you stop trying!

ha ha! Yes, just what my mum says - and 'RELAX' it'll happen ... however it does seem to be true .. how can we fool ourselves into thinking that we're not trying ....??

Lol! Unless you are 14 and MNing from the sofa opposite, then definitely not!
Ive heard this A LOT! Id love to know how to actually stop thinking about it for one single minute of one day!

sat down at the computer all teary only to find that i'm not alone.
Like you guys i'm still finding it very horrible 4 months down the track. I was devastated immediately for a couple of months, then perked up a bit for a month or so (convinced that in no time at all i would be pg again) and now that i'm not i'm all miserable again.

thunder you've sprung me! I really really was going to wait until friday but i was weak-willed

right, i'm off to amazon to order my bbt and ov sticks and pineapple

Ha ha saggy, or maybe "just relax". Impossible.

camomile I am with you. Was pretty sure I would get pregnant soon after miscarriage - probably believing the 'you are really fertile after miscarriage' guff. Now 4 months down the line and am not, it's pretty hard to stay positive every month.

I too have told my DH on more than one occasion 'I'm pregnant' which is swiftly followed by the arrival of af. Feel a right idiot.

Has anyone tried reflexology? Was the latest I was thinking about?! Count me in on project desperate. Clearly need it. I would add talking to your mum about it. Somewhat embarrassing when you mum starts telling you when to have sex. Speaking from experience!

Plus - if I had joined this thread earlier I would STINK of fish.

None of us are alone. We have each other.
