Oh angela, so sorry to read your sad news Sad totally understandable to want to take a break from ttc, you need to grieve and look after yourself, first and foremost. Sending you many sympathies and understanding hugs xxx

allatonce99 · 24/09/2014 21:55

Hello lovelies
Angela sorry for your loss and Flowers to you
Welcome to all the new passengers, there are loads of us now so fx for a bumper month of bfps.
mrse I love your wedding story, mine is in a few months and would be great if we had a bfp to share with everyone on the day but think that's very unlikely!
chandlers hopefully a relaxing holiday will encourage an egg to grow so your still on for an October bfp.
Baby dust to all and hope all your dp/dh behave! Mine is driving me nuts! Maybe there is something in the air?! Hmm

Sorry to hear about your loss angela.

I'm just having my weekly wine. Lost 1.5lb at weight watchers, and so am celebrating. Got exactly 1 stone to go before I reach my ideal weight, so aiming for Christmas and hoping to fall foul of Sod's law with a bfp ruining my weight loss plans. I'm also trying to relax and not focus on symptom spotting.

Hey everyone,

Spinning peanut m&ms make everything right in the world, but none to be found in the house so minstrels had to do.

Angela, I'm so sorry to hear about your gran. Sending lots of virtual hugs your way.

So nothing much to report CD9 still have blumming AF it's getting silly now 9 days!! 9 bloody days.. I'm going to be bleeding forever we shall not even get a chance to DTD this month at the rate it's going. I hate AF!!! screams into pillow and homonally stomps off into kitchen in search of elusive peanut m&ms

Hope you ladies have had a better day

Dozygirl · 25/09/2014 03:24

Angela sorry for your loss Thanks

Blueberry hope you managed to catch the egg despite missing dtd.

I missed dtd the 1st positive so I'm hoping I've caught it the other 2 try's after. Now into the tww. I think I'll find this one the most disappointing if it doesn't work as its the first attempt at opks and I should have done it at the right time unlike last two where I was completely wrong.
Hate the waiting! Just want to know if it's worked already haha.

Fx we all get bfps in time for Christmas announcements :)

CurlyJay19 · 25/09/2014 03:58

Can't sleep ??. Been up since 3am and sitting on the sofa trying to ignore the fact that I am feeling physically sick ??. Had a few dizzy spells at work too.

I went to see my gynae and he has confirmed that the abnormal bleeding has been because I've had a anovolutary cycle this month and because I have 2 cysts in my right ovary; 3cm and 1.5cm. The lack of ovulation has caused a hormonal imbalance and no progesterone has been produced therefore the cervix lining carries on growing and when the estrogen level begins to fall the lining collapses and that is what produces the abnormal bleeding. He said that the cysts will disappear on their own and to monitor my next cycle, and to come back if I feel unwell.

It's 5am and in 1.5 hours I start my usual day of getting ready for work. I need sleep ??????

MrsGingerbread · 25/09/2014 06:20

Temperature increase here - so we are in the tww now :) I have a scary hospital appointment (results of the biopsy on my suspicious mole) - going that goes well and then I can start my favorite hobby of symptom spotting. :) (Although I have really already started ;)

Angela so sorry about your loss. I was so close to my Grandma, completely understand how you feel. Take care of yourself and know that we are thinking about you x

Chandlers sorry no egg around, have a great holiday and hope one comes along then!

curly glad you have some answers now - hope that you feel better soon. If you don't feel well enough for work then don't go.

Itsfunnier I am doing a trial for clearblue at the moment and am using them for the first time. They haven't shown me a window any different to the one I get from ics and temping. So I guess it is up to you! :)

mrse I can't believe they just send him home. That's shocking!

spinning hope you feel much better soon! That sounds really miserable.

Welcome to all the new joiners! :)

MrsExtraOrdinary · 25/09/2014 07:15

MrsG hope today goes well.
Angela we all need to take a back seat ttc sometimes, I'm sorry you've had a loss.
ENglish acupuncture sounds fab. Only had it once myself for something un ttc related. Be great to hear how that goes.
Blueberry, MEN!!! Need I say more!
Allat definitely something in the air!
Chandlers what a buggerSad
Jessica well done, I officially start my diet Monday Confused
Curly glad the cysts are likely to go by themselves. My dsis had one the size of a grapefruit removed from one side and an orange sized one the other. So that really is good news. Sorry you've been in pain though and hopefully get a normal cycle next time.

Welcome to everyone new and hope I haven't scared you with my wedding story.

Can I just say today is the day. Have made it up with dh. He always gets round me even when I'm flaming angry with him. I suppose that's why we are a good match. He played me a song about finally getting to our goal. It's been such a long road but today ends one battle at least. A home no one can take away from us and a refuge for our children and undoubtedly grandchildren that follow. Such a land mark day. Grin

xBlueberry88x · 25/09/2014 07:17

Nope no dtd for us because hes fed up so pretty sure im out for this month really pissed off with him and he knows it!

Have my gynae appointment today see if they've found anything wrong im so nervous.

angela sorry for your loss

spinning hope you feel better today

Sorry i havent read back properly im on my phone

lucieloos · 25/09/2014 07:21

Angela really sorry to hear about your grandma Thanks

Hope you managed to get some sleep curly and at least you have some answers so you know what's going on.

Well it's 1dpo here and the 2ww begins. Temp spike this morning confirms I ovulated yesterday on cd 12 and we dtd on cd 7, 8, 9,11,12 and probably tonight or tomorrow just to make sure. Hoping that will be enough!

EnglishGirlsReturned · 25/09/2014 07:22

Morning Smile

Hope you're appointment goes well BLueberry, will be thinking of you.

And good luck with the move MrsE! What a long time that's been in the pipeline! Hope all goes smoothly and it's the home you've dreamed of Smile

spinningirl10 · 25/09/2014 07:30

Morning Grin

MrsG, good luck with your results, must be scary for you.

Curly, don't go to work if you're not feeling wellThanks

Frog, 9 days af, that's rubbish, hope it buggers off today for you.

English, acupuncture sounds like a fab idea, let us know how you get on.

MrsE, they should definately send him home with work but surely they shouldn't be sending him home at all! If you didn't work from home they wouldn't have that option would they.

7dpo here, sickness seems to have passed thank goodness, just feel a little delicate, hopefully feel better when I've eaten something.

spinningirl10 · 25/09/2014 07:35

Oops took me so like long to post I missed the latest!

Woohoo MrsE, move day. Hope it all goes smoothly and wishing you all much happiness in your new home and of course a bfp.

Blueberry, good luck today with your appointment.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 25/09/2014 07:54

Spinning I think at 15 as he gets a bus to and from school they can send him home. When he was younger they used to just put him in isolation. But that doesn't make things any easier as he doesn't understand why he's there. And refuses to stay. I completely get his behaviour is so difficult they can't cope. 2 weeks into term and he's already dropped history. Not sure what he's going to do instead. It's not good news. I can't see how it will end well. If he was my son it wouldn't have got to this stage. Problem being im dealing with it one removed.

broodylicious · 25/09/2014 08:25

Woohoo mrse!! Good luck with the move today Smile we did it nearly five weeks ago and already know it was the best move we made - even though it's exhausting and we are still in boxes! What's the house like? All rooms need christening, lol!

curly, so sorry to hear about your cysts and the pain and worry it's causing. And you were up in the middle of the night Hmm On the positive, at least the doc has discovered what it was and you can be assured they'll go of their own accord. Hugs in the mean time though x

spinningirl10 · 25/09/2014 08:51

It does sound tough MrsE and at 15 I see that they would just send him home. I hope he soon settles into your new home, how does he feel about the move?

Aprilray · 25/09/2014 09:07

Morning!
CD17 and based on +OPK yesterday and no temp rise yet could ov at any time.
English I love acupuncture. Has given me lighter less painful AF. It is really relaxing too.
MrsE happy moving day! I hope it goes as smoothly as possible.
MrsG and Blueberry I hope your appointments go well.

Any other Shopaholic fans on board (book by Sophie Kinsella) new book is out today! Was so excited!

spinningirl10 · 25/09/2014 09:34

April, I love the shopaholic booksGrin I shall have to take a look. Fx you ov soon.

Congratulations blueberry! Thankfully we have an army of people to help us at the weekend, unpack and assemble furniture to get the show on the road by Monday morning. With my tribe, there's 8 beds to be made up! Lol

Spinning I really hope the move helps but I've thought that before. At least he will have his own room so won't be such a distraction to my ds. My ds is a star and very patient. Not sure how he's coped sharing with ds's for 5 years. But he's doing gcses this year so needs a bit of peace.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 25/09/2014 09:35

Bugger link fail!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 25/09/2014 09:39

2nd attempt

ohlordyplordy · 25/09/2014 09:43

Hello October ladies!
Well today is my birthday and my auntie flo gave me an unwanted gift, so I'd like to hop on the October bus please.
Mt stats are: ohlordyplordy 34, ttc#1, cycle 4, bfp due 23rd October.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 25/09/2014 09:44

How sad is it that I get very excited by managing to post a link! Was going to post you all a penis dragon, but they seem to have gone off the boil on Google images! Just lots of weird old men plonking their bits about, not very inspiring! Blush
