Oh bluesky that's awful news. So sorry to hear it. I hope you can give yourself a long break from thinking about ttc and while I hope I won't be here to greet you in March, I'm sure you'll be surrounded by lots of support. Good luck.

oh Bluesky im so sorry to read your news I hope that you have a speedy recovery and another bfp very soon xxx

MrsGingerbread · 19/12/2014 03:29

Hello ladies,

I'm sorry, I don't really feel like an active passenger on this bus. After so many months I am trying to step back from obsessing over ttc a bit - mainly for my own sanity! I still look on with interest at how you are getting on though,
but I haven't read back too far.

bluesky - I am so sorry to hear your news. If you don't mind me asking, what were the symptoms that you had for an ectopic pregnancy.

spinning - beautiful tree, how are you getting on?

Fingers crossed everyone!

Pikz · 19/12/2014 03:49

Bluesky I am so very sorry xxx

JessieMcJessie · 19/12/2014 04:02

bluesky sorry to hear about the ectopic, but it sounds like they've caught it before it has done any damage, which is good.

Sparkly I am Scottish, but I now live "outwith" the UK. Xmas Wink

ninjabeer · 19/12/2014 06:18

I'm out AF arrived with her usual unpleasant style. I'm off to book my ticket on the January bus. Good luck for your BFP's ladies and have a cracking Christmas. Someone pass me the brie!

Flowers bluesky

Wishing everyone else loads of luck. I'm waving my Pom poms from the sidelines, in between working, sleeping and vomitting.

spinningirl10 · 19/12/2014 07:11

Morning Grin

MrsG, thank you and lovely to see you. I'm good thanks, just into another 2ww and looking forward to ChristmasSmile how are you?

Blue500, sorry about your dh's results. I hope the vitamins and healthier diet help improve the quality.

Ff confirmed ov this morning and puts me at 4dpo which means bfp is due on Dec 30th, my birthdaySmile

Hope all the teachers here enjoy your last day before Christmas holsGrin

spinningirl10 · 19/12/2014 07:12

Ah frolic sorry to hear you're having bad sickness, hope it eases off for you soon.

Frolicacid · 19/12/2014 07:19

Thanks spinning. I'm not too bad really. I'm having bouts of bone aching tiredness, but no nausea thank god. I'm just randomly vomitting without much warning! I just hope I manage not to do it on anyone!!

Good news about your ovulation. Your cycles went back fine after the soy, didn't they. I keep wandering if it helped me. I will have everything crossed for a special birthday present for you.

Happy Friday Xmas Grin

RoseBud2015 · 19/12/2014 07:28

blue sky that's awful, so sorry. I cant even begin to imagine what you are going through. ((hugs))

ninja sorry AF arrived... I imagine I'll be seeing you on the Jan bus shortly.....

Poas this morn, first an ic. Bfn. Then a frer Bfn. However ov was never fully confirmed by ic opk. I just went by my nearly pos one on 7th Dec and assumed I'd missed the surge, but who knows!

Anyhow I get my blood tests back today, then go to my work Christmas do and then fly off on my hols! Its the last day of term, I'm exhausted and I couldn't be more relieved........Now looking forward to lots of prosecco cocktails and cheese! Jan bus I'm ready for you!!!

Good much to my other poas buddies. Have a fab Christmas everyone See you in 10 days! Xmas Smile

MrsGingerbread · 19/12/2014 07:40

spinning what a lovely present that would be. :) Fingers crossed really tightly for you.

I'm fine thanks, except my anaemia is back which is a pain.

8dpo in the gingerbread house today. Which means if my lp stays nice and long af would probably arrive Christmas Eve. Hopefully just in time for me to hit the wine. ;)

That's why I'm not really on the bus this month - I don't want af's arrival spoiling Christmas- and I won't let it! Xmas Smile

Boobear1983 · 19/12/2014 07:51

Gingerbread, thats a good plan. Woke up today with AF symptoms which i can only describe as feeling nauseous but in my lower abdomen, which is my sign AF is on her way! Just in time for xmas!

Blueskygirl30 · 19/12/2014 09:00

Thank you all for your kind words! I really appreciate it.

MrsGingerbread, right at the beginning of my pregnancy I got a faint positive pregnancy test and then had what I thought was my period but something made me do another test a couple of days later and the test was a lot stronger so because of that bleeding I was sent to the EPU for a scan and blood tests which showed nothing unusual but they always book you in for another scan a couple of weeks later. I had no other signs after that except a couple of episodes of spotting and the only real pregnancy symptoms I had were peeing a lot and sore boobs and occasional real fatigue. So the only reason I went for another scan was because of that initial bleeding I'd had right at the start. The only other thing is that I felt all along that it wasn't going to all work out. I'm just lucky it was caught by them so early but it does mean that my chances of another ectopic are 10-20% depending on what study you look at. Won't stop trying again though come March!

Sorry for such a long reply to that question!!

AutumnMagic · 19/12/2014 09:05

Morning all, well thats me out this month AGAIN!! The evil witch finally arrived, at least now i can crack open the wine over Christmas and numb the pain!! Xmas Wink I knew if it was going to come it would be today as i have to go out inmy pjs tonight with the niece as going on the Polar Express, AF has impeccable timing! ! Xmas Angry can someone please send me the link for the January bus here we go again! ! Xmas Sad

AutumnMagic · 19/12/2014 09:07

Nice to see you again MrsG ive been lying low too!! Mulled wine here we come ehh!! Xmas Wink

Cariad2014 · 19/12/2014 09:23

So sorry Bluesky. Sending you enormous un-mumsnetty hugs Flowers

Rather irritatingly our cycle of not ttc has turned out to be my longest cycle of the year - 29 days and counting. Come on AF, get a move on - at this rate, I might not ov until the Christmas holidays are over.

spinningirl10 · 19/12/2014 09:56

Ninja and autumn, sorry af arrived. Enjoy the Christmas festivities and good luck on the New Year bus.

MrsG, will keep my fx for a Christmas Eve bfp for you.

Cariad, hope af arrives for you soon so it can be gone before Christmas.

Victoria and Genni, hoping af is staying away for you both.

TerrysNo3 · 19/12/2014 10:18

just delurking to send hugs to bluesky I'm really really sorry about your ectopic. I hope the methotrexate is ok and that you have a smooth recovery both physically and emotionally. There is an ectopic support thread over in miscarriage / pregnancy loss board if you want to talk.

Thanks Thanks

victoria401 · 19/12/2014 10:33

Morning ladies, sorry af got you autumn and ninja.

Nothing for me yet, just a bit of coloured cm when I wipe. Could come any time. When I was on the pill it was here first thing in the morning bang on time. Since being au naturel it's all over the shop. Most of the time when I wake but just to tease me sometimes 2pm or 4 in the morning etc etc! Not going to get excited until tomorrow morning comes!

Feel like death warmed up this morning, had one glass of wine at this party and not too late a night (11.15). No reason to feel like this! Look as white as a sheet, got slitty dry eyes and a thumping head! Had vivid dreams last night, isn't that a good sign that my temps are still up? I think trixieray said this last month. stop getting hopes up woman!

nutelladipper · 19/12/2014 10:50

Hey all, sorry to hear that blue. I hope you recover quickly and good luck for March.

Sorry for all those whose AF has arrived. Good luck for those testing.

When poas can you save pee in a pot? Or does it have to be fresh?

X

victoria401 · 19/12/2014 11:00

Are you still in too nutella? Grin I heard some ladies keeping pots of pee in the bathroom cupboards! Hahahaha! Good luck if you're testing x
