Greedy my friend, I'm sorry I crossed posts with you and missed your AF news. I hope your wine, waggon wheels and online chats helped you out - you sounded better by the end of it. I'll miss you if you go. Don't! x

RudolphsREADY · 09/12/2006 10:32

Hi ladies. I just popped in to say farewell. AF has arrived so I no longer belong on this sleigh! Good luck to all of you, my fingers and toes are crossed for each and every one of you.

Hi everyone just to let you know that AF arrived (early!!) on Weds afternoon, while I was at work which was horrid. I think I too will take a break from the TTC boards at least for a few weeks. TBH I think I need to step back a bit from MN as a whole. I know it seems like I am thowing my toys out of the pram/pressies off the sleigh but I'm getting overly obsessed and with one lovely DS already I can't let this take over to the extent it has been. I will probably be lurking and having my fingers crossed for all those who are hoping for a BFP in December. Good luck! Thank you all so much for your lovely messages and support and take care. I know I will relent and see you all soon! xx

YuleTideways · 09/12/2006 13:58

Everybody is going!

Ready and Floss - sorry about af, come back soon!

to all those taking a break, have a fab Christmas and hope to see you back soon (well, hope you don't have to come back at all but you know what I mean )

decorativeD2Bmum · 09/12/2006 14:07

im sorry to see 2 of you are leaving the thread....i hope you can come back soon and tell us your good news of BFPS all round.

i have tested today too and no suprise it was a bfn but needed to know before i went out tonight. i am going to be drinking though - does this make me a bad person? i am sit of holding back on things thinking - what if?

Snowyowlet · 09/12/2006 17:23

Hi, Im back - took a rest cos you guys exhausted me - I needed saturday to catch up on all the news Sorry to hear of wicked AF arriving for so many - plenty of babydust to sprinkle on you for next month * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Im still waiting - due on Wed but not holding out too much luck - had cramps today and temps this month have stayed just above the coverline - fingers crossed for some more BFP on this thread

MrsMcClaus · 09/12/2006 19:36

Just popped in to catch up and am so sad to hear all this bad news; AFs and worse still, people leaving us so sorry and sending huge hugs out to Floss, Ready, Beansprout, Snowydays and Greedy. I had such high hopes for those of you I?ve got to know well this cycle. TTC is so tough. I actually feel the same why as I do when my AF arrives but this time it isn?t even my AF .

Snowyowlet ? Don?t leave us again! wishing you luck and Babydust for Wednesday Snowy

Decorative ? Can totally understand how you feel and even if you get your BFP in the next few days, well, you won?t have been the first Mum to have a few drinks before they knew. We can?t keep our lives on hold; it would drive us all insane. Hope you have a good night .

Yuletideways ? I?m not going anywhere . Do you think, well all of you really that MN makes you more TTC obsessed? I honestly don?t, when I am pottering around in RL thinking about TTC, I get panicky and sad that it hasn?t happened and then I come on here and know that we are doing all we can and that it?s just a question of time and that you all know exactly how it feels, it makes me feel miles better.

Floss ? oh, I?m sorry about AF . Will miss you but hope the break does you good and you come back to tell us about your BFP. Babydust my friend!

Ready ? I?m sorry chick, hope you are ok and not too low, sending hugs.

ImpatientElf ? Hello! My message did get sent to Geek so hope she responds. How are you? Know you are busy tonight but hope you are feeling upbeat.

theChristjmassyone ? Neither set of our parents know that we are TTC but I am sure they suspect we are. My best friend knows, she is pregnant now and the gap is getting bigger by the day we thought we?d have our babies at the same time . If we are not successful this cycle, I am going to have a heart to heart with my sis. She is two years younger than me and has 2 little boys and PCOS and I know for a fact that the second one was conceived the first month of trying and the first can?t have been more than 3 cycles. Maybe she knows what the secret is! Hope your next move goes well.

Greedy ? I feel so bad because I was constantly telling you that I thought you were pregnant because your temps were so fine, just shows how little I know. Sorry, I really am plus I was having my hair cut when I should have been here for you . Thing is, why shouldn?t it have been your cycle, it so easily could have been. I REALLY want to know what makes the difference don?t you? I?m on my second glass of wine and quite enjoying it I must say I?m only cd7 so reckon it?s ok just now. Kidding myself again! I have no life at the mo as DH is laid up and we are staying in but I am really enjoying it! Please don?t leave, I?d miss you so much, you are one of the ladies who have really kept me going over the last few weeks which have been harder than I have let myself admit.

MerryKitKatmas ? Hello!

Snowydays ? I?ll miss you but I do understand, wishing you all the very best for a BFP soon.

Tinselledtryer ? Glad you got your flowers

Beansprout ? hello and welcome. So Sorry about AF. I know how that feels, too, 6 months and 7 cycles of trying for me and AF was 3 days late 2 cycles ago, how excited was I followed by total misery. Hang in there, sending you huge hugs.

decorativeD2Bmum · 10/12/2006 02:31

ok just come on here to let a bit of tension out.

had an okish night until i went to the cash point and realised my money and cash point card had been stolen so broke down in tears (dueto drink and hormones~) came home sobbing and dp has no sympathy sai i "asked for it" have had to cancel my card and type on mumsnet PISSED!!

sorry girls i can only turn to you

minxpie · 10/12/2006 09:11

You can't put your life on hold -with my DS, tested and it was bfn and thought there was a sign when i went to the loo anyway went out and got completely paraletic and forogt all about it - a week later thought oh period never arrived and was bfp, he was fine and he's 3.5 now!! I think you should just enjoy life and what will be will be....although have been doing that for 2 years now and still no sign of it happening again, maybe I should change tactics!

ImpatientElf · 10/12/2006 09:59

Morning ladies. So sorry some of you are backing away for a bit, especially Greedy: Who am I going to be rude to now?

I'm OK MrsMc, although ds has had a week of horrendous sleep - I had 4 nights this week of less than 4 hrs sleep, and that in bits. Friday night was even worse, and then found the car had been graffitti'd Like I have spare hours to figure out how to clean that! Am so cross, and have horrible victim feelings too. Then, to cap it off, I thought I'd treat myself to a sausage sarnie, but I burned the sausages, and that was the final straw and I was sobbing my heart out about how this just summed up how crap I was. Sometimes everything just gets too much.

But feel better today. Sleep was much better last night. Am still getting ewcm. Temps high already but don't know whether that's cause I ov'd or because I'm poorly, so really have no idea what's going on! Shall carry on insem'ing every few days until I know. I have a sneaking suspicion this might be annovulatory: the other month I know was annov I just had loads of cm for days and days and nothing else happened. Never mind if it is: We were going to be away during ov anyway (if month hadn't been weird) so this month would have been missed anyway. Wow, hear me being positive! Now I'd better go and fix that car...

(Greedy, if you're lurking, give yourself a hug from me. Go on, no-one's looking. A nice big tight one.)

MrsMcClaus · 10/12/2006 15:50

Hello ladies! I now have 4 trees decorated around my house. DH is going mad with me but I love it .

Decorative - you poor thing, how horrible and you really deserved a great night out too. Hope you feel better today and that the card was cancelled in time

Minxpie - lovely story!

Hi ImpatientElf - you can be rude to me if you like . Sorry to hear about your lack of sleep, that is the most scary thought for me about having a baby, I really need my sleep and without it I am totally irrational and cannot concentrate on anything, no wonder you are feeling tearful. Sending you huge hugs. How annoying about the car, what was that all about then? opportinism? Personally, I prefer burnt sausages so my mouth was watering reading that! . I've just made a cake (I am rubbish at baking, they always sink in the middle ) because we have friends coming for tea with their two little girls aged 1 1/2 and 9 months, looking forward to cuddling them! .

Sorry to hear that you don't feel well either . It is odd about the EWCM and high temps so early, maybe you have OVd? Good plan to carry on just in case though. It would be very odd if it were another annovulatory cycle so close to the last though. I have never read anything about a connection between Cm and annovulatiry cycles.

I do admire you being able to even imagine writing the cycle off, I know I really should be having that attitude with DH laid up but I just cannot, so hope we manage a few BD next week to give us a chance, he seemed ok this morning

pesme · 10/12/2006 16:13

hi, everyone sorry i am not v. good at keeping up with everyone. thanks for all your kind messages. i did lose it on friday - i suppose disapointment and af hormones are a pretty potent mix. feeling alot more chilled now. i am going to follow greedy's lead and perhaps stay away from these threads for a while and try and forget about the whole thing. if you are looking in greedy - sorry about your af it is such a thump in the stomach.

ticklemepinkwithtinsel · 10/12/2006 16:46

sorry to se so many leaving please come back when you are ready xx and hope to see your BFPs xxx

So sad about everyones AF

Mrsclause - are you there? have a EWCM queston you may know the answer to??

sparklytreeangel · 10/12/2006 17:35

Wow where the hell did everyone go? Greedy, Ready and everyone else no more mates
Am I the only one left on December already!? Is there no Jan thread yet?

D2B former cycle buddy don't leave me. Hugs for being robbed I recommend hiding dp's card in retribution

BoJingles current cycle buddy how are you getting on? 2ww?

ImpatientElf hope you feel better soon the temps can be confusing so give it a go anyway if you're feeling better.

Minxpie try sherry

MrsMC we had little ones about this weekend too. It's quite a novelty for us but fun! Practising bed time stories was fun
