The hot new TTC after MC thread - all welcome, bring a fish and all the posifrickentivity you can muster! Prepare to overshare.

[Seasides]

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?

Cracked and tested, 11dpo. BFFN - sure you can guess what the extra F is for. Now I know that I can imagine nausea for four days on the trot...on the downside, I'll have AF for our romantic Valentine's break later this week. On the upside, I can now drink romantic again, and get back to being sane rather than googling 'X imagined symptom early pregnancy?".

All this talk of kitchens is giving me the flashback shivers. Spent most of last year being ripped off by a cowboy joiner who delivered us a badly made piece of MDF shit when we'd ordered our dream solid wood kitchen. It got messy, and off the charts stressful - a bit of me wonders if all that is part of the reason why last year was a TTC-fail. Will have to replace when it falls apart in another year or so.

triple sorry to hear about your crappy day yesterday, that must have been so hard to handle so well done.

We had a nice night out, drank a few too many rums so now lying in bed waiting for MrP to deliver a bacon sarnie and some tea.
Funny thing; MrP spilt oily curry on his jeans on fri so I told him to put some cornflour on the mark and leave then out for me to wash today. He evidently used a LOT of cornflour and then left them on the kitchen table. When we got in last night the (normally black) cat came running to greet us, covered in flour from ears to tail! Cue me chasing her around the house at midnight with a wet towel. Finding little ghostly cat patches all over the floor and furniture!!

X post - sorry for the second bfn seasides, but in still secretly hoping you'll get a late sneaky BFP. You're not out yada yada yada.....

Morning Ladies,
Sorry for the bffn seasides.
And Triple, sorry you had a shit day yesterday. That would have put anyone in a foul mood! I'm so hoping that i'm upduffed by the time my due date comes, especially as my best friend is due two days after

After my hangover hell yesterday, I told dh I wasnt going to drink last night. MASSIVE fail!! He has some colleagues over from the states and jesus they're a bad influence! Got in at 2am! I sound like a massive drinker now....I'm not, I promise!

Grrr, sorry about bfFn Seasides. I used to hate seeing negative pregnancy tests, now I want to see one desperately!!

I seemed to have stopped bleeding now. I think the main part of my mc happened last Saturday (though I didn't know it at the time) so I have bled for 7 days and now its a tiny bit of spotting. HPT test still showing pos but i bought a stack of early ones so I guess they are going to be showing positive for a long time yet.

Awwww...crappy times lovely mummawannabees!

I actually felt I'd turned a corner once my due date had passed. It was the date that was looming that I felt awful about (especially as my friend had her baby on the exact date!)

This week last year was the best ever! I got my BFP, went to a family gathering with my mum and dad, sister, brother and grandad and told them. They were so excited! Then just as we finished our lunch, DH got down on one knee and popped the question producing the most perfect smallest diamond ring!!

Fast forward 12 months and we're 3 babies down but married and soo happy together.

The wierd thing is, I've always kinda thought in the back of my mind that i'd end up having IVF (tried for year with ex-husband who now has his own baby) BUT, I've also always thought I'd have twins as well. Who knows....

Thanks guys - I suppose DH and I did only manage one relevant serving of TITH this month as he was ill...it only takes one o~ though, so you always hope.

IVF and twins do often go hand-in-hand Sal...I'm sure you won't get there though. Although, Ikwym about feeling you will - I'm the same, for some reason. I just want to get all the investigations out the way asap so I know if that will be the case.

That's such a sweet day, I almost had a little well up! I know I'm a total stranger to you and your DH IRL, but from this thread you sound like a stonking couple. That's the most important thing I think. No matter how crap all this TTC shit is, the only time I feel really down is when DH isn't happy, or our relationship feels 'off'.

Hope all the hangovers are lifting - chips, water and a blustery walk! I'm distracting myself and procrastinating from the writing I need to do by fire-proof painting a door (SIX coats?!!!) for building warrant and selling clothes on Etsy.

Sorry for all the bffns. Really.

So, the 2ww has begun.

You know, sal, I also try to regularly count my blessings. Last night I was driving up to our new house (which is so far from finished, still) and it was all lit up and it looked so beautiful and loved that I thought ok, so we have a house big enough for twins. But I know it won't be cold without any little ones. Because DP is such a wonderful man.

Time to eat and sofa-surf.

Have a lovely Sunday, TTC'ers!

That's the spirit ladies!

seaside sorry about the bfn. Yes we always harbour hope, given so many get pg on one drunken night.

Just came back from a birthday party (DS friend) and

Sorry got cut off. And one mummy is pg for the third time. I wish I was that fertile. So now that is the third pg announcement since yesterday. Aah well chin up, tits out.

Seaside I hope you can get you investigations underway and like many maybe get your bfp just before the appointment.

Sal that is a good way of looking at it. We should always count our blessing.

Ewcm spotted but no smiley on opk yet which is good as dh is not around!

Lovely trip to the rugby - despite the result! A few days to go until time to POAS. Trying not to symptom spot - but there are several. Bought some more pregnancy tests today in Boots. Hope I actually get to use them. If I get to Friday that will be 4 days late on pre-MC cycle length but only the second month since I miscarried so who knows what my cycle length is now! Hope everyone's ok.

OH sorry to hear of the BFFN but remember it isnt over until the fat witch pays a visit. I am keeping all my fingers crossed for some BFFP on this page soon!

Feeling a bit down today. AF has trailed off, giving me about 2.5days of bleeding. I just feel my body is broken and If i cant even bleed properly how am I going to be able to grow a baby. Stupid old uterus.

Good luck with the last stretch doc - i actually find the 2ww more agonising than the BFNs. All that guessing, body-watching, anticipation...torture.

Sorry your body's not behaving baxter - not to diminish your worries, but is this your 1st af after mc? It's natural for it to be ballsed up for a couple of months I think, don't beat yourself up about it - you've been through the wringer.

Wine, bath and bathbomb. Then more painting...I'm so productive when DH isn't around!

Seasides - your plea sounds great!

Oh well, some cramping today so looks like AF is going to show up . I genuinely hate this.

Doctor, I know what you mean. I'm dpo 10, but I'm not feeling it. So over this. hope we're both wrong.

Only 4 days to wait though for me. Going to try and keep busy.

That's rubbish Baxter but don't lose hope. Seasides is right, your body has been through a lot and needs time to recover.

Feel like I'm on a rather disappointing ovulation stake-out. Day 15....still no sign of the suspect. Someone go and get some doughnuts.....Maybe it sneaked past while we were having TITH?

Hope you make it to the POAS party Donna and Just. Try to keep busy this week.

Sorry for the delay missp, busy weekend.
Still no af, but I've been getting loads of cramps in what feels like my left ovary area. I've just taken another test this morning as today makes it a 30 day cycle and normally I'm on about 23/24 so I really have no idea what is going on!

Worried as I had a few drinks on sat after getting negative pg test on Friday, also pissed off that if af is late, it's now likely to ruin my valentines plans!!!

So have scan this morning to see if miscarriage is complete.

Am going on my own and suspect I will cry. Least if there is nothing left in there (the bleeding has stopped) I can close this chapter and try again.

Hope it goes as well as it can.

Thinking of you sebs, be kind to yourself today.
donna and just distraction sounds like a good plan.

Just starting 2ww here and already symptom spotting like a complete idiot. Luckily I start jury service today so that should keep me distracted!

Hope you get through today ok sebs. Ain't nothing wrong with a good cry
