TTC after MC April 07 - Return to the Mother Ship

[popsy76]

Hi Ladies, thought I would just grab the bull by the proverbial horns and get this going. Hope the name is okay. MrsMc I am afraid we will all be thinking of you and your DH (and his light saber) everytime we post

Too many individual posts to go back and answer so I thought I'd start with a positive message for all of us from the March thread and for any MC newbies...

Today is my 1 month MN anniversary and I do not know what I would have done without you all. It is the ability to get on here and "let it all out" that keeps me going. I have been blessed to have found you all and whatever lies in my future - your kindness and advice will stay with me forever.

Big Love and Hip hip hooray for a fabulous new positive thread POPSY xxxx

p.s. Gilly get your arse down to london - we can drink the bars dry of Rose (purely medicinal of course )

Hello all

I?m sorry that you are going through this Harveysaunt EPU up here refuse to test HCG, they say that it can be too erratic, they like to go on scans alone. Either way, there is a horrible limbo to go through. I?ll be thinking of you hon x

alittlebitshy that?s lovely hon, congratulations! just take each day as it comes and take deep breaths you?ll soon be further than you got before I won?t lie to you, it is scary and hard and sometimes you think it will drive you insane but it?ll hopefully all be worth while in the end and Gilly is right, all the ladies on the Pg after MC thread are lovely and you know a lot of them already

hey littlebit can you give us your history now? I like seeing that for the people who have got PG again so I can have something to compare my progress against? xxxx

i'll do my history bit later.... have been tired all day (prob cos not sleep well last night cos of thought of testing), so vegging with dd before i cookeasy dinner (too tired for anything complex!)

Congratulations, Littlebit!

Hope everyone is well today!

Are you going to test yet, Popsy? God luck if you do. x

Hi everyone. It's amazing how nervous I am saying hello here! I feel like a stalker who's just crept out from behind the bushes as I've been watching this thread since I m/c in April. Felt I had to finally take the plunge today for two reasons -

1. Winky - I cried reading your message! I know you don't know me but huge huge hugs.
2. Half the group seem to be 33 and living in NE London so I had to stick my hand up and say 'me too!' I'm in Hackney and previously Holloway so all very very familiar

I'm also about to hit the hideous 2 week wait having taken a positive OV test today, 2nd full cycle after m/c (mmc at 8wks) and last month turned me into a complete basket case so am hoping to cope better this month!

Big congrats to Littlebit as well :-)))

hi siameez, nice to see youve taken the plunge. how long have you been ttc for? any LO's already?

Hey siameez! Well done on taking the plunge into official obsession rather than lurking on the edge.

Winky - if you're reading - how are you?

Evening girls. Winky I am really sorry. It just doesnt get any easier does it! Lbshy and Harveysaunt, I am thinking lots of positive thoughts for you both. Welcome Siameez, I also felt a bit like a stalker but everyone was and is so fantastic I am really glad I joined in. It is brilliant that we can all come on here and share things that we probably wouldnt share with our human friends. Not that i think you are all non huuman but you know what I mean. I am jealous of your tea party thing. I used to live in Hampstead (student) so it is familiar reading of your descriptions.

So, so sorry winky. Thinking of you and sending hugs.

Morning ladies
another BFN this morning
feeling really fcked off as this means I just have really long cycles (6 weeks last month and at least 6 this month) - should have had three cycles by now but am not at end of second grrrrrrrrrrrrr
I want to punch something
Anyway is my party tomorrow so am just gonna get totally wnkered with my friends and try to forget PG and MC ever happened as it has taken over the last 6 months of my life - I want to howl LIFE IS SO UNFAIR but you all know that anyway
can I say GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR again?
p.s. welcome simeez xxxx
p.s. had a dream last night that I met up wityh a MNer called beccie (?) at a slimming club (this is prob cos weighed myself at gym last night and am 1/2 stone heavier)...was really weird cos I just sat accross other side of room to her and was scared to talk ha ha...must have been a dream cos am not usually the silent type
off to get a coffee and muffin - in for a penny....

oh popsy, im sorry!

Hi Everyone. Thanks for your lovely virtual hugs - they helped (and welcome Siameez!!)

Am very pleased for you alittlebitshy and wish you a very uneventful and easy pregnancy!

I have booked an appt with my dr in a couple of weeks to discuss my weird and wonderful history of procreation.

Just wanted to check when/where the London meet up is? Am in Winchester so could go up. But will it be like Gus in Drop The Dead Donkey when he meets up with virtual girlfriend and they end up having to chat via laptops at the dinner table because they cannot cope with talking in RL?

Hi winky good to have you back with us - hope you are okay - you sound very sane! Or is that just cos I am totally insane ?

V. excited about our RL cake scoffing meetup - August is ages away - you mean I have to wait that long

Actually I don't think I have a free weekend until then anyway and gives time for winky and anyone else that wants to join us to plan a trip to the big smoke...i warn you though ladies...I have been known to be a bad (rose-flavoured) influence on ladies and ... you know you want to enter the MAAS world of Mrs Popsy!

Thanks for the welcome Lissie - I think I'm quite lucky really as have only been ttc since January. Sometimes I think I'm actually in a better frame of mind having m/c than if I just hadn't conceived at all for 6 months, which could quite easily have been the case. At least something happened! And I do have a LO though he's actually quite big now (14 in November!) so all being well I'll be a second-time-round mum with built in babysitter ;)

Lucky woman! My DSD is only 8 so we have a few years to go before she can make herself useful!
Sorry you got anoter BFN Popsy - enjoy your birthday party though, at least you can indulge in the vino guilt-free.
Am off to eat food and have a fag now. (Am getting as many in as I can before have to give up after my hols and start being sensible).

Incidentally - popsy and nh101 in particular but also anyone else who knows her - lovelylou had some good news about her recent tests - she only has to be monitored for about 6 months. Might be worth popping over to the MC thread to say hurrah if you get a chance

thansk ellie will do
enjoy your break!!

for you popsy. Another month same story. WHY WHY WHY.

Well, waited all week for af to come. Wasn't too optomistic as bding sessions were all over the place. Unfortuantely for me, the clearblue ov pack came with an early preganacy test, and it has been staring at me all week long. Have resisted urge to test...until a couple of hours ago. Just braced myself for the inevitable bfn and peeed on the stick. Almost immediately.....BFP!!! Much stronger line than at the same time with mc, and am feeling more off food than last time. One can only hope that those are good signs. Refuse to tell anyone this time until I get a heartbeat. Made the mistake of telling people early last time, only to deal with uncomfortable conversations when I mc'ed. Really had when I want to tell everyone.

YIPEEEEEEEEEEEE. I am so so happy for you. Go and find a park or seaside and shout out to the world. Then go home feeling ever so slightly silly but happy.

bloody hell
This is now officially a PG thread
I just want to be one of you!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulmalations morning glory!!!!!!!!

congrats morning glory!!!! Bet you feel as weird as i do!

Ladies, I'm too scared to officially leave you yet. I'm not going over to antenatal or even pg following m/c threads yet./ Way too scared of jinxing it. Esp as tomorrow is when it went wrong last time. so scared, knicker checking obsession has gone to extremes now - i need to remind myself that we have lodgers !

Is that ok?!

Congratulations MG. Great to see that the thread is proving so lucky for so many. Wonderful news. Popsy: keep meaning to say sorry about the BFN: it's so unfair that your cycle is torturing you like this. Mine post-mc have been the same and I hate it.

ha ha glad to see you still have your sense of humour
god wish i would just get bloody AF so i can start again IYKWIM
still am keeping tiny secret hope that cheapo tesco tests were wrong - if cycle same length as last month then wouldn't be able to detect for a few days anyway (oh the crazyness of ttc)
Off home to chill and prepare self for mega booze up
PG ladies I wish you a very blooming/queasy/beanie keeping weekend
ttcers I wish you lots of sticky beanies - to be fair this is the thread to be on if you wanna up your chances of a BFP!!!!
