All that she wants is A baby! The Berries searching for the 'sign' but never symptom spotting (honest), possibly using a vagina jack and trying to get a FUFC before boarding the IVF train (thread 18)

[Bunnygirlie]

The smallprint –
Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 12+months, NO instadiffers, must have a special pot and def no mention of baby dust or baby dancing UGH !!! Ooooh aren’t we strict!

Win how are you today?

I have my first blood test prior to full FC referral tomorrow - eeek....

Thinking of you win

I feel worse. Throat feels like razor blades, swallowing so painful it kept waking me up all night. Called in sick again today. DP is ill as well now, he's also called in sick (pretty unheard of for him and he's got gcse projects due in this week). He is trying to sleep in the spare room! I'm in bed watching the women's curling on the ipad...

Oh no barking! You must be well for the wedding. Rest as much as possible over the next couple of days. Yikes, the wedding is close!

Win. Glad you are coping ok so far. It's a horrible experience to go through. Sounds like you're doing marvellous though.

Sorry to disturb your honeymoon with the giant sausage projection because! Yes, do you normally get to 18dpo?

Sid hope you're doing ok?

Feather I feel for you with your pregnant colleague. Jealousy is to be expected. Baby number 1 due date would be 9th march for me. As its approaching, the more bitter and twisted I become.

Oh. Cycle day 2 here. Grrr

Thanks guys, doing ok today I think. I'm amazed how well I feel physically. Barely any bleeding, no cramps. Contemplating a walk later. DH has been amazing. He cooked me steak and chips last night to try and replace some of the blood lost, bless him. He's also doing very well at putting up with my childish petulance and general whining. Emotionally I feel okay. I'm kind of waiting for a crash.

My overriding emotion at present is frustration at having to start again. Just before we got the bfp we'd been told that it was unlikely we'd ever get pregnant. This pregnancy felt like our only shot. I'm trying to rationalise, and telling myself that it happened once, so can happen again. I'm hoping for the mystical high fertility for 3 months after miscarriage. Also I'm hoping the erpc will act like some kind of endo scratch (clutching at straws?!!). While I'm hopeful it can happen again I think I'll be okay, I think the crash will come when that doesn't happen. :(

I get the bitter and twisted thing funky, my due date was 22nd April. I really was optimistic that as the clomid worked first time, we would at least be pg again by the due date. Never crossed my mind that I might not even have a normal cycle back by then!

Shag week fortnight as I have no idea when/if to expect Ov starts tomorrow. Not looking good!!

Because, any sign of af yet? (poas???)

Barking, sorry you're still feeling shitty. You should definitely try and take the week off.

No AF but lots of cramping. Should I POAS or is that a waste of a stick?

Aquarius yes, I tend to have really long cycles. 40 days when I was younger, then anything from 30 to 37. My awesome acupuncturist regulated me so that the last six months I've been on 31 days, but now I'm, let me think, CD35 and nothing but a bit of spotting and a lot of cramping.

xpost win. Keep the faith! It happened once so it is possible. I still have the faith, I just don't have the patience for my cycles messing me around while I wait!
Glad it's not bad physically, it sounds like you definitely made the right decision. I found the emotion came in waves after I'd got over the physical bit, but I found the process of natural mc incredibly difficult and until I stopped bleeding and cramping I was just a mess .

because why haven't you poas?

Eh, I was going to, but forgot when I got home (just arrived from a brutal 13.5 hours flight) and now I've run out of wee . Also because I'm cramping so it feels like AF is imminent.

Because, POAS!!! I'm crap though. I poas at the drop of a hat.

Yep, I think the erpc was the right decision for me. I'm so glad it's over. I hope I'll never be in that position again, butif I was, I do it again.

I get the bitter and twisted thing also. God knows what ill be like now since the mmc. I'm so desperate to get pg again before my due date. Tbh, I tried not to find out when my due date was incase something went wrong so i wouldn't fixate on it, but they put it on the top of the report when I had my first scan so it's now etched into my mind!

Morning all, had a busy couple of days finishing jury service. It proved to be an excellent distraction although ended at the wrong time - CD30 and fairly certain AF is lurking in the wings. Going by last two cycles since MC she'll be here on Friday...

win glad everything went ok. Be prepared for a proper rollercoaster of emotions, and don't be afraid of or feel guilty about any of them. Anything and everything is allowed.

barking what shitty timing! I always get ill before important things, I swear by MrP's homemade cold remedy - limoncello, honey, soluble aspirin and hot water. Totally not what the doctor would recommend, but it always makes me feel better! Hope you're both feeling better for the wedding

because have a nice big glass of water and get down the chemist! Hope your honeymoon was amazing, where did you go?

Glass of water guzzled. Now waiting for the cleaners to leave before I POAS. We went to Bali. It was beautiful, and very relaxing! (of course there's part of me that wants a honeymoon baby really badly!)

. Wee faster Because!

Ha ha! BFN I am afraid.

Oh no!! Probably diluted wee though, and not fmu. It's not over till af is here!

What winohhh said

I love your optimism, ladies, but frankly all the symptoms are in favour of AF. And at this point, I want it to happen NOW. My boobs are killing me

Yep definitely doesn't count if its not FMU!

2nd pg announcement in work today. Suspect there will be many more to come seen as we're due for Inspection in just under a year. Will need to brace myself for being surrounded by bumps

Because Bali must have been wonderful, lucky you!! Hope the not-knowing with AF doesn't stretch out for much longer.

HB where're you at? POAS?

Barking yikes - hope you and your DP feel better soon!!!

Tiger maybe your dog was just giving it's opinion on the rude lady on the phone!

Happy I remember you saying about how the other ladies were saying that they'll get pg to coincide with Inspection!! How irritating, esp that they have no idea how lucky they are!!

because we went to Bali a couple of years ago, it was beautiful. Did you do Lombok as well? I preferred Lombok to Bali, and Gilli Air topped both.

happy grr .

I'm not feeling any better. I'm not in class tomorrow so if I'm not in they won't need a supply. On that basis I thought I'd wait a bit longer to see if I felt better before contacting school. Cue text from the head informing me that according to the sickness and absence regulations I was supposed to have informed her by 3pm whether or not I was in tomorrow . No 'how are you feeling?' just a telling off for not following regulations. I texted back saying that if I had to make a decision right now I would have to say no as I was feeling worse than I did yesterday. She responded by reminding me that I needed to tell her by 3pm tomorrow if I wasn't going to be in for inset day on friday. So lovely to have a caring boss....

Barking that's awful. Do not go back to work even if you feel up for it! You'd have thought they'd have given you Friday off anyway what with the wedding coming up, especially as its INSET!

Trouble is happy I'm helping the deputy lead the inset. We were supposed to be going over it tomorrow so I do feel bad. Not about the head though, she's a prick .
