Wondering if anyone wants a buddy?
I'm ttc #2 (DD 13m)
Just finishing AF and embarking on cycle 2

Come shove 2 fingers to the back of the witch and let's count down to O and POAS psychotically in a few weeks...

Evening ladies
Had a misery day,bp was way higher 180/120 and had to be observed for three hours after medication but am feeling better now. Headache almost gone. The funny thing is af also gone((my body is playing tricks on me)) Confused

I can only imagine what you went through drmum, sorry. Worse when the little one was feeling out of place. I've had bad experiences with teeth((not good)). Hope u better now hun.

Mimilicious013 · 21/04/2016 18:29

Hie minty, hope u have had a pleasant day. Have u started opks yet. Soon will be sexathon Grin.wanted so much to join u tmwr with a little boozing down our sorrows but with the medication I have, hmm suicide lol.

Ohno you made me lol, it's never possible to take it easy when ttc. With all those symptoms, everything crossed you get lucky this cycle.

iwillbemrsminty · 22/04/2016 09:46

Morning ladies

Hope you're feeling a bit better today Mimi. Did you poas? A very short unusual AF, that's what drmum and I had when we got bfps!

ohno I struggled with buying frers round here too and in the end got them off Amazon and they're a lot cheaper than in the shops!

I'm fine thank you for asking everyone, and mimi yes shag week is fast approaching Grin going to be on it! But.... I have just started playing netball again, first time since school. It was such fun! But knackering, god I am stiff in places I didn't know I had muscles!! So this will either help or hinder the sexathon.....

to drmum hope you are feeling a bit better.

ohnonotanother1 · 22/04/2016 10:05

Ooh mimi poas! We need some Friday excitement! How are you feeling now?

Minty I love netball! Being fit is def a positive for a healthy pregnancy and if you end up aching then you will need a nice massage. And my husbands idea of a massage doesn't usually involve candles and scented oils Blush. Never thought about Amazon for frers, will need to find a way or removing them from the "things you've recently purchased" because my husband often accidentally sees my account if I forget to log out and he has no idea about the poas addiction....lol

What about you drmum how are you doing?

I'm feeling a bit weird today - not sure if I'm imagining things or if I might have some actual tangible symptoms!? Woke up with a cold so I put all my recent aches and pains down to that but then went to the gym this morning and the bubbles in the jacuzzi hurt my boobs so I got out (and it was only later that I realised I prob shouldn't have been in there anyway...??) yesterday I felt a bit queasy after lunch and dinner, and after this mornings swim I also felt a bit off but hadn't had breakfast so maybe that was it. Ate something and got a coffee but still feel a bit queasy. Have had low mild cramping for a few days and severe exhaustion for a few days too and have been sleeping really well when I'm usually a crap sleeper - though this is prob because of the cold too. Poas (was so annoyed, was going to treat myself to a poas before the weekend and my husband decided to work from home! So had to pee in the pot we use to wash my sons hair with and hide it under his bath step Blush now need to try and scrub the pot without anyone noticing...) and negative obviously, think I'm 9dpo. Will stock up on frer ready for the obsession to grow next week when husband should be firmly behind his desk out of my way, leaving me to squint at non existent lines in peace Grin

ohnonotanother1 · 22/04/2016 10:09

Ooh there's two frer on eBay for less than £7.

iwillbemrsminty · 22/04/2016 10:16

Ohno actually lol-ing at your post!! Treat yourself to a nice poas Grin!! I can't keep a straight face when dp suggests a massage as I have this image of Ross from Friends with his wooden spoons Grin ha ha!

I usually use the plastic cup we have in the bathroom cabinet for my secret poas antics... not actually sure why it's there actually, but pleased it is! Oooh you can hide things in your Amazon orders, that's what I had to do with dp's Christmas pressie! and all of the frer's I have bought in the last month

Your symptoms do sound positive Smile give it til maybe 11 or 12 dpo, I think I got a faint bfp on an frer at 12dpo. And mimi we really need you to poas!

iwillbemrsminty · 22/04/2016 10:18

That sounds about right ohno, mine on Amazon were around £7.10 I think. Bargain considering they're like £12 or £13 in the shops!!

Mimilicious013 · 22/04/2016 10:42

Morning ladies
What would l do without you?.. I woke up in a not so good mood but ended up laughing my lungs out ((and I thought I was the only crazy one))

Poas on an ic and BFNAngry.anyways will treat myself to some drinks and junk food this weekend the big business from next week.

Glad you enjoyed netball minty. I'm such a lazy bum. Tried jogging but the best l can do is take walks around the neighborhood 😂

Fx for you ohno. Those symptoms sound exciting Grinhopefully by Sunday we will get a bfp from you.

Hie drmum

ohnonotanother1 · 22/04/2016 20:46

Def not the only crazy one mimi! I do this every time - tell myself I'm not that bothered then go wild a few days before af and spend my life (and all my money) hunting down sticks to pee on. What's the latest with you?

Anyone got any plans for the weekend? Who is next due to test and when??

We've had a bit of a breakthrough tonight - for the first time in LOTS of months my son settled himself in his cot. He was stood up chattering then the next thing I know he'd disappeared off the screen of the monitor and was curled up in a ball at the end of the cot. Which takes away some of the worry about a second!!

Does mean DH is snoring away next to me on the sofa (another positive, I don't have to share my family sized bag of crisps and can watch master chef instead of some shit with loads of effects and no plot.) this is turning into a good weekend! Bring on the fictional symptoms and the non existent lines Smile BlushGrin

DrMum83 · 22/04/2016 21:27

Evening!
Sorry- had a busy day at work... So stressful!!
Anyhow, guys, I've been a dick. Please don't shout at me but I've booked another scan for tomorrow. Me and DH have had a row about it as he says I'm crazy and need to try to overcome my anxiety without succumbing to scans all the time but I just can't help myself! I'm nauseous quite a lot but not vomiting like I was with DD. I'm sure things are fine but it's like an addiction. Anyhow, it's booked for first thing tomorrow. I had a good cry to DH earlier about feeling so anxious after previous missed miscarriage. Feel so stupid!!

ohno your piss pot story made me giggle!! I've peed in so many random things! Your symptoms do sound good though, esp your boob thing so hopefully on Monday there'll be two lines on that test!!

mimi - so what's going on? Have you stopped bleeding altogether? So bfn today but if that was implantation you may get a positive after at the weekend? Hope so chick!

minty - I used to love netball at school but the thought of any physical exercise makes me shudder! Well done though! But don't exhaust yourself too much - you need your energy over the next week!

ohnonotanother1 · 22/04/2016 21:50

Drmum you'll be pleased to hear that when I was preg my poas addiction rapidly became a scan addiction. Perfectly normal! I never really had symptoms so panicked all the time.

My boobs are really uncomfy and getting worse. I'm swaying between feeling utterly convinced it must be a symptom and then thinking it's probably just my body readjusting to coming off the pill sometime at the beginning of the year and not really remembering proper PMS symptoms. Annoying!

Mimilicious013 · 23/04/2016 07:26

Mornings ladies
Ohno, plan on poas today? Am getting so excited for you hun
.when is af due?

Drmum, drmum another scan. Grinenjoy watching your little bean dear and scan pics for us.

Minty, how was your Friday night.?did manage to go out? I was stuck at home and dh went drinking with his friends.today might spoil myself and have my nails done .

What are the weekends plans??

DrMum83 · 23/04/2016 10:13

Morning.

Just to let you know, my scan showed baby stopped growing around 8 weeks. We're devastated.
Not had any pain nor bleeding so gotta wait to speak to hospital on Monday about what to do next. Sorry to bring the mood down!
Just shit.

iwillbemrsminty · 23/04/2016 10:36

Oh my god drmum. Jesus. I'm so so so so sorry. Can't actually believe it. There aren't any words that will help but we are here if you need us. Shit hun. You must be absolutely devastated. Massive hugs. I'm so sorry. Xxx

ohnonotanother1 · 23/04/2016 10:48

Wtf!? Shit I'm so sorry to hear that. I don't really know what to say to be honest - my best friend had a mc this week too so I know how bloody horrific it can be. Lots of love to you xxx

Mimilicious013 · 23/04/2016 12:00

Ohh dear.,so sorry drmum. You must be devastated hun. Sending you and your family lots of hugs and love Flowers

DrMum83 · 23/04/2016 12:52

Thanks all. Just feel so disappointed and sad.
Just wanna get it sorted now, last time this happened I let nature take its course and I ended up having a sudden miscarriage at work which was horrendous.
I think this time I'll opt to have tablets to speed things along.
Xx

ohnonotanother1 · 23/04/2016 14:54

What a horrendous thing to have to think about.

This whole ttc thing is making me quite sad at the moment and I've barely even started. I've known of so many mcs this year in RL and obviously on here it seems pretty much everyone has been unfortunate enough to have a chemical, or a mc. I even read in a mums group on fb this week about a baby who was a few days old who died unexpectedly. I just can't even begin to imagine what any of you are going through. And I'm one of the lucky ones who hasn't had to experience this - yet. It makes what should be a joyous event immensely stressful.

Love and hugs all round x

iwillbemrsminty · 23/04/2016 18:05

Hope you're ok drmum, am thinking of you. Thanks I think I would be thinking the same especially after your previous experience. God so cruel. We are here if you need any support xxx

DrMum83 · 23/04/2016 18:39

Guys you're all so lovely, thankyou for being there.
I'm feeling ok and being as strong as I can! Just pissed off more than anything that I have to go through this again but thankful I have my lovely dd and that I have a lovely Dh to get me through (and you guys!)
Fuck you Mother Nature!!

DrMum83 · 23/04/2016 18:40

Hope you're all ok, any news to cheer me up?!

OP posts:
iwillbemrsminty · 23/04/2016 19:12

You will be ok drmum your precious DD and DH will make sure of it. And of course we crazy ladies will too Smile

I haven't got anything to report yet, shagathon hasn't started yet but I did jump on dp this morning before we got up, for a quick practice run Grin

We are having a very lazy Saturday night with a takeaway and a film. Oh and a sneaky Wine too obvs!

DrMum83 · 23/04/2016 19:55

Thanks dude. I'm drinking wine too!
Cheers to lots of New Year babies from you guys x

Hope you're getting suitably drunk!
