Hey Ellie - just read your news!!!! FANTASTIC!!! I am so so happy for you and I am embarrassed to say that you are the first pregnant person I have been happy for since my m/c, even on this thread with all that we have all been through, I usually want to die inside when someone else gets a BFP but not with you - I am so happy for you (I think as well it's cos we went through our m/c's together whereas I didn't really know the other people who got BFPs). Take care, try not to be too scared (easy said)

Sorry AF came Wheely, I am pretty resigned to it taking a year for us too. It is five months next week since my mc and and my periods are on holiday (CD69 today). I am seeing a gyno on Thursday (GP referred me today) so I am just focussing on getting my periods sorted now, trying not to think of ttc.

Popsy, I know - I must admit I thought it would be me or you who got PG again first! I didn't want to be the first cos I didn't want to upset everyone else but I am so happy for Ellie I realise now that you guys would have been happy for me if it had been me. Fingers crossed for us now eh?

EllieG · 13/08/2007 14:16

Thank you nh - you don't know how much it means to me that you and popsy and ronshar et al have all been so lovely about it. Had a little cry at your post and had to pretend had hayfever

WinkyGirl · 13/08/2007 14:55

Hi everyone! I've been keeping up with all your news (congrats EllieG) and wishing you a very yummy cake fest later this month.

Just thought I would pop back and let you know I had a viability scan today.
We saw the hearbeat and the beanie is measuring spot on for dates (8.5 weeks) For those who dont know me I was on here from March this year.

Wishing you all the best Winky xx

torres · 13/08/2007 15:38

hi winky- I remember you! thats fab news, you must be thrilled.

ellie- there'll be lots more tears with those pg hormones

nh101 · 13/08/2007 15:44

Ellie you big softie!! That'll be the PG hormones kicking in you lucky thing!

Hi Winky, great to hear everything is going well. I had my m/c in March too but am not even having periods never mind conceiving!

CD69 now...

I have acccepted now that I probably won't be PG in the next six months. If I get PG in the meantime then great but I am not expecting it so maybe I can stop being so dissapointed all the time.

I have bought a basal thermometer though to try to pinpoint ovulation next cycle because taking tests every week for six weeks and getting BFNs is no fun at all! At least if I know when I ovulate I know when to expect AF.

Hey nh Oh how i wish we could be there with Ellie too but it will be our turn one day soon I am sure of it (inane desperate grin winging its way to you now baby ! I think Ellie's "not trying" sounds very successful - unfortunately when we weren't tryng we really weren't cos I'd already explained to dh that can happen anytime of the month

I also worry how it will feel telling people on here when I finally get that BFP ...hah I should be so lucky!

Hi winky fab to hear from you - of course we remeber you - can't believe so much has happened and now you are 8.5 - BLOODY HELL where has the time gone???

Off to think about how to do less but earn the same...

OP posts:
EllieG · 13/08/2007 16:32

Yep I'm trying to think about that now. Jobs I can do that involve lots of sitting, eating and leaving about 3.00. Answers on a postcard please....

nh101 · 13/08/2007 17:07

Let me know when you find one

Sprogstersmum · 13/08/2007 20:14

Just wanted to say hello again - try to keep up with thread but don't always have time - congrats Ellie!

AF due next Monday so am on that last week of waiting which I always find stressful what with all the symptom spotting and now doubly hard as first month of proper ttcing since MC couple of months ago. Swear I am actually making myself feel pg symptoms through will power alone. A week seems such a long time to wait!

ronshar · 13/08/2007 20:42

Popsy, yes Im afraid I was but I joined you late as too sad to look for help. Had mc March didnt post till May!
I also have to admit to only really pretending to be happy when really I was very of those lucky ladies with their BFPs.
All that has changed and now I am a nice person again all because of Ellie BFP.
It means that we could be preggers again. Soon!

ronshar · 13/08/2007 20:59

Ive packed me bags and Im off on me holidays! I am singing and dancing but count yourselves lucky you cant hear me, singing not my best skill!! Or get pregnant so it would appear.
Oh well I shall try and catch up with the gossip at MILs house.
Fingers crossed for all those waiting for AF to show her face.
See you all soon.

EllieG · 14/08/2007 08:16

Have a lovely time!

Morning sprogster good to have you back - good luck for the 2WW - hopefully Ellies magic has caught on!

Bye ronny have a fab time - loads of relaxation is the key i think (is that poss with MIL? ). I think this is the first month i have felt OV happening so that must be a good sign. Didn't BD at right time though so am relaxing til next month - fingers crossed for us all eh?

Morning Ellie hope you are feeling good today - lots of morning sickness and starvingness hooray

Hi everyoneelse hope you are managing to stay positive in spite of the rain! I had a lovley swim on the way to work - does wonders for my general zen-ness

p.s. ellie are you an hour ahead of us or just super-professional early starter?

OP posts:
EllieG · 14/08/2007 10:27

Super-professional I'm afraid (mostly due to there being not much traffic as school holidays though)
Yes am alternating between feeling sick and eating loads - so far have had a banana, yoghurt, sandwich and packet of crisps, all before 10.15. Am going to be size of house by end of week. Must not eat for a few more minutes.

herbaceous · 14/08/2007 11:13

Ellie - I KNEW it. Just KNEW. Hearty congrats. Though don't leave us - there's hardly any of the original thread left, and you give us hope!

nh101 · 14/08/2007 11:14

Morning everyone - glad to hear you are feeling more positive Ronshar. I am feeling a bit down today, not sure why, maybe it is the weather. If I am feeling down now I always link it to the mc (like I never felt down before??) when sometimes you just feel down and it has nothing to do with that. I am tired too..

Still waiting for AF (I feel very envious of you Sprogstersmum knowing yours/BFP is due next week!)

CD70 today....

BFN yesterday

See consultant Thursday (anyone know what he is likely to do to me? I have had blood tests which came back normal)

nh101 · 14/08/2007 11:41

I feel a bit sick though... dare I hope it is what i want it to be????

EllieG · 14/08/2007 11:56

Thanks herby x means a lot x

Fingers crossed nh!

nh101 · 14/08/2007 12:06

Hi there Herby - when was the original thread started? Good to know all these ladies have moved on now.

I have just eaten a banana which has made me feel less sickly... I am getting my hopes up a bit now which I should know by now is pointless!

herbaceous · 14/08/2007 12:15

I quite often feel sick these days. It seems to be a new symptom of PMS, but of course raises my hopes each time. Great.

Not sure when the original thread started - I would have joined late March or early April. Seems donkeys years ago now.

I'm thinking I might have some reflexology. Or, for cheapness, do it myself. Does anyone know the bits to press for instant ovulation of healthy egg?

Rachel1963 · 14/08/2007 12:16

Hello, I popped in a couple of weeks ago, waved and snuck off again, but I think I'm ready now to come on board properly. I had an ERPC last Friday so I'm just beginning to think about the future - I've been very lucky and not really had any after effects from the ERPC, no pain or anything, so I'm hoping that means my body is super fit (if only....)and raring to go.

Ellie - congratulations!! I think my DH will have exactly the same reaction as your DP if I get pregnant again - nothing to do with not wanting a baby, just concern for me.

nh101 · 14/08/2007 12:22

Hi Rachel - welcome! So sorry you lost your baby. It's shit isn't it? I had ERPC on March 22 and am still ttc but I am feeling OK. You get there in the end. Good luck!

Wheelybug · 14/08/2007 13:20

Hi Rachel - welcome back, sorry you're here.

Have just looked at when I came onto this thread (or set of threads) and there's no one left other than me from when I joined cos it was so long ago (). Think I may slink off for a bit as feeling a bit sorry for myself and its not fair on those feeling (or trying to stay) upbeat.

Will keep an eye on you all though and wishing you all lots of luck (esp. EllieG at the moment, look forward to reading the birth announcement) - will miss you all.

nh101 · 14/08/2007 13:29

Wheely, try not to get too down - it will happen for you. I reckon the longer you have been waiting the nearer you are to getting PG! I had a break from MN a bit ago and it made me feel much better.

Come back in four weeks when you have your BFP.
