Posifrickentivity all round, with a good healthy dash of project desperate. New thread, new luck, new BFPs and Summer 2014 babies all round please! TTC after MC

[Sal1977]

Our brand spanking new thread full of luck, baby dust, BFPs and a few choice swear words.

The Rules...

(1) A lady may only POAS on a Friday.
(2) Friday means the day that everyone calls Friday in the time zone where you spent the night.
(3) Rule (1) does not apply to POA-OPK-S, UNLESS they are being illegitimately used as surrogate HCG detectors, in which case Rule (1) most definitely does apply
(4) Rule (1) does not apply following a BFP because if you want to waste £25 a day POADigiS that's your prerogative
(5) Rule (1) does not apply if a lady is POAS in an attempt to get a BFN to prove she can start DTD with intent
(6) Rule (1) does not apply if a lady wants for unknown reason to pee on an actual stick, like a twig or some such, if that lady is unexpectedly caught short whilst tramping in the forest looking for bears.
(7) These rules (including Rule (1)) are subject to the change at any time if the ladies of the Posifrickentivity thread decide on a whim come up with empirical evidence to prove that it is luckier to POAS on any other day of the week
(8) Violators of Rule (1) shall be subject to fish throwing.

And as a grand finale, why not pledge to NEVER POAS before 14DPO?

That's awful cam, poor couple. Ikwym about IVF too, shows they've had a really tough time of it thus far.

Sorry to hear about injections, but at least there's an answer.

AF has killer timing parsley, sorry about that. I hope you still have a lovely break, and enjoy that beer.

parsley so sorry af rocked up now ok your weekend away. That sucks, even if it is getting 'the one after mc' out the way. Def enjoy the food and drinks.

cam that's sad for that couple, really sad. But good news re a plan from the rm doctor, even if its injections.

Hoping for a sept / oct baby here too but dreading months and months of ttc after mc again. Not the effort, more the heartbreak each month. I know it will hit me in the NY.

Hello,

Sorry your mainly feeling a little down ladies...loved Sal's lessons- as I was reading that DH was reading the paper and piped up with a random fact about David Attenborough, started me off giggling lol

Well nothing going on with me, 11dpo today so af due 26th -ish.....will not be poas as I find that disappointment much harder than AF showing up. If there is nothing by NYE I will cuz of the drinks! Not hopeful at all, only dtd on day of ov and have no symptoms of anything,

I'm with you all on the 2013 in the bin.....here is to 2014 which WILL be our year ladies!!!!!

Xx

Fingers crossed Chosen. I feel this thread should have at least a couple of 2013 BFPs left in it.

Hopefully you'll be one of those 'super fertile after mc' people Fedup. This thread has seen such things before.

Thanks Seaside. I know its fab there's a treatment etc but am still a little nervy about it. I'm sure after the first 10 or so it'll be fine.

In the spirit of no such thing as tmi on the thread... Anyone else got a phobia of using the toilet at their work for a #2. I have. And I have a dodgy tummy and am panicking slightly.

cam ha ha! Yep, I've been known to go home when caught short! Good luck!

Glad it's not just me. Had to go in the end. T'was every bit as mortifying as I imagined. I came out and I'm sure everyone knew!

Haha..yeah me too! I take loads of cleaning products in, run the tap, have a quick one then clean the loo!! Haha

I'm paranoid about leaving an aroma behind especially as we share it with clients! I pooed in the garden once 5 minutes before showing someone round out house when we were selling it!! Haha!!

In the garden?! Sal - you never fail. I took in perfume and had a little spritz around post poo.

My friend is the worst for it. Can't go anywhere bar her own home, quietly, when no one around. We spent a week in a caravan with her once only to learn later she didn't poo for an entire week.

I can go on holidays and not 'go' for at least 3 or 4 days. It's makes for one bloated stomach!

This is a whole new thread! Love it! DH thinks I'm weird cos I only like pooing in my own loo. Camping is a nightmare, I've been known to get up at 4 to ensure an uninterrupted poo... 3 or 4 days when I'm somewhere new is normal for me.

Wow, what freaks we are

After DS birth I had a a third degree tear (ie the one that goes into your bottom!) and they had to give me a cocktail of laxatives and 'softeners' to make me go. I was petrified!! I the olden days they would let you leave hospital until you had poo'd. I'd still be there now....!!!

I used to get really jealous when away travelling with friends if they could just 'go' whenever and wherever. It took me to get dysentery before I was the same... Haha!!

Anyway. Enough of poo. Went to see doctor at the hospital yesterday and she was so empathetic. Totally got my situation. She said by no means wait another 10 months to get up duffed but come and see her when stressed and / or get a scan with her at 6 weeks if pregnant. She said in the science world they are debating investigating more after 2 mc rather than waiting for 3 - I so hope they change it. Never met a doctor who understood the emotional pain of mc and when all friends are getting pregnant at drop of a hat and overall concerns / panic. In short, I feel more supported than the silly GP who said she wouldn't help me for 2 years!!!

Hi there. Can I join you ladies? Not technically ttc again just yet as I'm waiting for my BFN after an ERPC on the 27th of Nov. I had a MMC discovered at what should have been 13 weeks and had the procedure shortly after. We're going to ttc again just as soon as we get that negative.

Started spotting here, so I'll be unwrapping a gift from AF tomorrow. Ah well, fuck it, I'll get hammered on Prosecco and face plant into some Brie!! Haha

I am going into battle with this bastid TTC bullshit next cycle. All guns blazing, all tricks, old wives tales and I might even go and sit on that giant chalk cock on that hillside in that place!

Welcome Penguin sorry you are here and I apologise for the swearing....it's normally a lot worse!

Go away for a couple of days and return to all your #2 escapades! Sal, garden?!?!? Hahah!
Cam, there's a book on Amazon called 'how to poo at work', perhaps a copy of that might assist?
I am an expert in the art of speed pooing when at work. In and out before anyone realises, but helps we have multiple loos in separate cubicles with windows and air freshener!

Rest of hol was great, ruddy enormous storm and all. Power cut last night, we were huddled in bed with a bottle of vino in pitch black with rain & wind howling through the balcony doors that didn't close properly!
Sal, we were actually at the giant chalk cock ourselves on Sunday. Apparently if you go at night you sometimes see people DTD actually ON it!

Booze, soft cheese and pate/exotic ears galore for me this week, then it's ttc HARD.
Back on the agnus castus and chucked in some evening primrose too along with the usual vitamins. I cannot wait another 18 months for a BFP, I will die.

Penguin, so sorry to hear your story but glad you found this thread! It's a good place to be.

Happy Xmas and POSIFRICKINTIVITY to all!!!

Sorry about impending AF sal No worries about swearing. You should have heard me this morning when I got another false positive.

I am with all those indulging over Christmas. Looking forward to cuddles with baby nephew number 10 but hoping my sis with 2 kids doesn't come out with any more clangers like saying after ds puked on her shoulder 'see, you thought what happened was a bad thing' It's not just me who finds that shocking, right?

It's soo annoying isn't it!!! I feel like saying something hideous like "better to have a puking baby than 4 dead ones" or "want me to call social services if you're not keen on having your kids, I'm sure there are people out there who would love to have them". That's my dark side that I try my hardest to keep under wraps!

Penguin, errr, no. That is staggeringly insensitive and frankly shows a real lack of understanding. Loss of pregnancy = better than being puked on by a baby?!?!
I know family/friends don't wish to upset but to be honest if any of mine said something as flippant as that I'd be telling them what I thought!

Hope you enjoy your baby cuddles without any silly comments Penguin :-)

I think if I've had no bfp by April I'm going to the fertility cock. Not sure I'd have the courage to actually dtd on it though, but perhaps could take a couple of Sal's syringes and a blanket up there.

penguin - uh, no, that is ridiculously insensitive and awful. Sorry you have to be here, hopefully your stay will be brief.

Thanks ladies. Sometimes I find it hard to tell what is reasonable to be upset at and what is me being over-sensitive. In this case I'll put it down to my family being exceptionally awkward at doing emotions and lack of sleep because of new baby but if she says anything again I may say something.

It's so good to be able to talk on here to people who actually understand. I know as mc goes I am actually one of the lucky ones as we hadn't been trying for long and although diagnosed at 13 weeks was actually a very early loss (around 6 weeks) which is so common but it's still a loss to us.

Here's to awkward families!!

I am about to go out to our traditional Xmas eve drinks at the worst pub ever (but we can't go anywhere else cos it's tradition, obviously!)

Was actually looking forward to it but have just learnt tactless Facebook friend is going. I am fully expecting her to make some grand announcement of her pg - I may have to hide in the toilets!

I'm awaiting wanky step-sister to say something twatish on Boxing Day. The first Xmas after I split from ex-husband, just weeks before, she told me I should think about freezing my eggs....errrr......

Hello all

Just popping in to say hello and to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, but more importantly a happy new year...a fresh start and tonnes of good luck for 2014. I still lurk on here everyday, and still fully understand the absolute shit that you are all going through every month.

I had a private scan yesterday at 8 weeks and all appears okay still, now got to wait for my 12 week scan.

2013 was by far the worst year of my life, I will be glad to welcome in 2014 and to put behind me some of the awful times I have been through. I am by no means out of the woods, and it's taken me a long time to get to this point, but I never thought I would even see a BFP again and I did. I really hope you all get some good luck soon, you certainly deserve it.

Here's to 2014 being a better year for us all.

Xxx

Thanks for the ray of light overanxious, it really does help.

Some families are sooo shit. My dsis was so apologetic she was running late 2 days after my mc and felt the need to explain it was her really heavy period DH had words!

I'm trying to be more positive here despite ov being due whilst sharing a room with dd's after 3 days with dsis in the room next door. Well, it's the season of virgin births so I'll hope anyway.
Wishing you all merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas everyone! Wishing all of you a special gift in 2014. Have fun today. Thanks for popping in overanxious positive stories are good to hear hope everything continues to go well.
