Purdie also thought that if I got my ov within the normal range (CD12-18) then I would get pg. Well this month it was CD12 and I did Grin starting to suspect that Purdie is not entirely human!

purdiepie · 31/05/2015 14:55

True dat

Catching up as much as poss:

Pixa Fingers crossed for you! Hope you have a wonderful break with DH regardless of the outcome.

night again, big congrats

Queen How are you feeling this afternoon? Hugs to you.

Sammy Nightmare about the fridge! What a pain. And sorry about the temp drop Sad What day is AF due?

Fig Ugh, just seen your latest update that AF has arrived. Sorry Sad Will you carry on with temping? Whilst it is totally rubbish to have got a temp drop, at least it demonstrates that your temps are a good indicator of what is happening and I hope you'll get a chart with nice continuing high temps soon.

mummy So pleased to hear you are feeling brighter and your bleeding has stopped. Getting over that first (and second!) dtd is a great step forward

twinkle Welcome back. How crappy to get those results just before the weekend and a holiday. I hope the blood test gives you more answers and that it will be something that can be managed. How has your DH taken the news?

ibeka Brew & Cake & hugs for you.

Sparkly Nice to see you and hear you are having better days

eskimo How was camping? Good to have you back but sorry your cold has come back with you. Did the dogs have a good holiday with your mum? When does Alfie get to lose the bandage?

Rainy What CD are you now? When would you normally ov? Hope DH is gathering his energy for the upcoming onslaught!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I didn't feel much like celebrating anything, spent most of the day trying not to cry or hiding in the bathroom pretending I wasn't crying Started off badly when I opened all 6 of my birthday cards then the rest of the post from when I'd been away which included a letter from the hospital after my diabetic eye screening a few weeks ago which told me I now have some minor damage to the blood vessels. So that upset me, particularly as it says to stop it progressing you need to lose weight if you are overweight (I'm not), stop smoking if you do (I don't), lower your blood pressure if high (mine never has been) etc - just another case of life being totally unfair. Then DH tells me he hasn't actually got me a card or a present because I didn't tell him what I wanted (we often don't bother with cards as I generally think they are a waste of money but I would have thought after the last few weeks he could have written something nice in one, esp if no present) but that he thought we could go shopping so I could choose something. He didn't get that I didn't want something for the sake of buying something new and that it would have been nice if he could have put a tiny bit of thought into just getting something as a gesture. He'd then booked a restaurant for dinner where he'd taken me for my first birthday we were together which was sweet, although hadn't bothered considering the menu on which there was one veggie dish which was goats cheese which I don't like. I very nearly told him I didn't want to go, but in the end I pulled myself together and we did, and the restaurant did me something from their lunchtime menu that was nice. We then went to the cinema afterwards and watched Spooks ( we always used to watch the TV series) which was good. I was glad to get home, go to bed and for the day to be over though.

To keep this vaguely on topic, here's my chart as of today. The last four temps have been taken at 4am, 5.45am, 9.30am and 8.50am (normally 8am) so not sure they are of any relevance.

TwinkleStars15 · 31/05/2015 15:32

ibeka He doesn't like the thought of having a child without your own genes. I guess some people are okay with it, other not, and I wouldn't want to try and change his mind or persuade him as I'd then worry that he would resent him/her and that would be awful.

eskimo thank you Flowers I've been following your journey and I hope your body kicks itself into shape soon!

pug He's been a bit quiet, looked quite sad at times. I'm worried about him feeling 'less of a man' and how this will affect him. He told me that he thinks I will leave him which made me sad. I married him in sickness and in health and that way it shall stay.

night you must be feeling all giddy with excitement Smile

Sparkly123 · 31/05/2015 15:39

Eskimo lovely! Sorry to hear you have been choked up but glad you have had a nice week!

Rainy girl, how's yourself?! Waiting for OV then?

Purdita are you continuing with CB trial like a good girl?

Pug !!! I missed your birthday! Happy happy birthday lovely! Was this the big 3-0?! Sorry you haven't had the best time.. Glad restaurant sorted something for you though.. I hate goats cheese too!! Here's a special card from me! Your chart looks pretty?! Let's look at this birthday as a positive.. This IS your year darling. You are going to be a mummy. Sending so many positive thoughts to you!

night congrats!!!!! Very excited for you. X

sparkly his are you lovely? Nice to see you again :)

twinkle sorry you've had difficult news. Nice to have you here with us though.

Figroller · 31/05/2015 16:41

Thanks Pug yes I will continue with temping, I'm finding it quite interesting. Happy belated birthday and sorry you didn't have the best day. I think sometimes men can be a bit clueless, well mine can anyway!

Thank you for your kind words Sparkly. I'm glad to hear you are feeling a bit better and I hope it continues Flowers

Queenbee30 · 31/05/2015 17:09

squishes pug with a hug sorry your birthday was difficult love.

I'm ok, still feeling dizzy. Intrigued by what my blood test results might say.

Pixa · 31/05/2015 17:48

Wahoo. Arrived in Harrogate safely.

I decided to pee on an FRER because I am a complete addict. Both, DH and I think we see an extremely very faint line, in the right light. One of those squint and tilt jobs. Hmm

Will pee again tomorrow, but so far, I think it's looking positive, right? AF hasn't rocked up.

Very cautiously optimist but fully expecting AF to arrive tomorrow as well.

Hairstylisttoboris · 31/05/2015 18:02

pixa!!!!!!!! everything crossed for you.

Queenbee30 · 31/05/2015 18:14

Eeeeeeeeee pixa! Fingers and toes crossed for you!

Augusthomotherium · 31/05/2015 18:15

Wtf hold the bus! night? Omfg niii-iiight! And pixa*!
I will have to catch up properly tomorrow with everyone's news but saw this on the last page and waheee-eee on those two awesome bfps girls! Well done! GrinStar

Pixa · 31/05/2015 18:18

Thanks, I really do appreciate the support. It means so much to me. I feel like I am going crazy and I am just seeing things. It's awful. I have seen a couple of evap lines on the ICs too which drives me mad. I will test again tomorrow but if nothing after that I think I am going to try and wait a few days.

nightandthelight · 31/05/2015 18:36

Oh pixa it sounds like you are pg! Congrats Grin so awesome to have a buddy!

Thanks August Grin

megarobotdiscoparty · 31/05/2015 18:48

Eek pixa! When I got my BFP I tested at 14dpo and got a BFN on an Asda test first time I tested.

pug bah, boys stink! Hope he does a bit of legwork to make up for it. Don't let him relax til he does, you deserve spoiling, you've had a crap few months Flowers

twinkle sorry to hear your news. Any chance DH might reconsider once it's all sunk in? Sorry if I'm going over old ground here! Take care of yourself, imagine you're both feeling very fragile right now.

rainy when is ov due?

Hello everyone else- how have your Sundays been?

AF very stop start again here, still not sure where I am in my cycle (I am beginning to sound like a broken record!).Just been for a drink with a friend who had a similar experience post MC and ended up on HRT. They've pretty much given up on having another child now. She was feeling fairly positive about it but it's made me really anxious about the future...Having a bit of an up and down weekend anyway and it's knocked the wind out of my sails a bit! Think I would just feel better if I could DO something...gone from sitting around waiting to miscarry to sitting around waiting for everything to get back to normal. I'm not very good without something to plan or do! Driving myself and everyone crazy.

Sorry for the rant...feels good to get it out though!

TwinkleStars15 · 31/05/2015 19:23

pixa looking great lovely! I've got everything crossed for you! I'll be checking mn in the morning to see your news Flowers

mega no he won't consider it at all. I don't really know how I'm feeling, like there are a million tears that I'm trying to hold in. I'm worried that if I cry I don't know when I'll stop. This is my worst nightmare and it feels like its coming true. I'm going to try and stay positive until the GP appointment and see what he says about the next steps.

On a more positive note, Ardèche in France is beautiful. We were wanting a little May sunshine and it's been around 30c here all week! Leaving tomorrow and driving all the way home - 14 hours!

Woolly84 · 31/05/2015 19:48

Hi ladies! Hope you're all having a good Sunday. I've decided to take a bit of a break from MN/FB for a while, i love all you lovely ladies but I just need some time away from it all as TTC seems to be taking up all my headspace at the moment. Guess I just need to rebalance really.
I hope you all get those precious BFPs very soon! Will be checking in on you all in the not too distant future Smile Flowers
Xxx

Riceicle1 · 31/05/2015 19:56

night congratulations! I am so happy for you! we started the busses at the same time, so I feel personally invested in your BFP. I know I haven't posted lately, but I do still care about all of you Flowers
Thankyou to those of you who have asked about my dad. He is still very sick, and has been taken back into hospital.Sad it looks as though on top of the cancer and kidney failure he now has another complication that interferes with the nerves and causes gastro problem.... But I don't want to bring you all down with that.
Af is due on Thursday, I'm swinging wildly between thinking a baby would be a ray of hope to cling onto in such sad times, and thinking that I can not be supportive to my mom and dad and my other children if I am pregnant/have a newborn..... Answers on a postcard please!
Hi sparkly purdie

purdiepie · 31/05/2015 20:03

Pug!! You ov'd on CD32, right? 3dpo, yes? Grin

PIIIIIIIIIXAAAAAAAA!! GrinThanks

Rainy34 · 31/05/2015 20:04

mega Ov for me can be anytime for cd13 to 17 i am on cd 9 at the moment,!!
Sorry you are kind of in limbo with stop start af, and sorry about your MC, try not to compare yourself with your friend, everyone is different, how long have you been trying?? x

Wooly sorry to see you go but totally understand the reason for getting some head space from ttc!!!

Ricicle sorry your dad is still very poorly, i can imagine that your life at the moment must be very stressful, my father in law had cancer so i can relate to how you must be feeling at the moment , You must do what you feel is right for you in your journey of ttc xxx

nightandthelight · 31/05/2015 20:04

Oh rice I am so sorry about your dad :( please don't apologise for talking about it on here, we are all here for you!

Thank you so much for your kind words, I have everything crossed for you lovely :)
