Morning all

@Pegase I really am thinking about you, I'm sending you positive vibes!

@rather any sign of the witch??

Re the high OPKs have you thought of getting some internet cheapies to test on night too??
Last cycle I had no peak on cbfm but cheapies showed clear surge one night.

I'm currently 7dpo
Desperately trying not to symptom spot!!
I'm convinced that blooming lady comp thing doesn't take an accurate temperature either. I might go back to the cheapy bbt from Amazon next month. X

tigsyboo · 13/02/2019 09:31

Also @Frazzlerock I have thrush on occasion and find a week of yakult sorts it out x

@tigsy Hopefully I won't get it again. Yakult is vileness!

I agree it is hard not to symptom spot. However, I am finding this time easier as I've made peace with not being preg. Anything I do get, I put down to progesterone or coincidence/made up in my head.
Like I have been having mild leg cramps in the evening when I finally get to crash on the sofa. I wonder if I am making it up or it is just that I have leg cramps from sitting badly or something. Or the major deep sleeps I've gone into lately where DP doesn't even wake me (highly unusual as I'm a very light sleeper).
Cycles before this, I'd have gone "OMG..." Not this time, I have wised up to my joker of a body!

@tigsyboo nope nothing, just sat here cramping away. I did another test this morning on the off chance, BFN, which I've made peace with so didn't cry (gold star for me) just wish it would hurry up.

Yakult is awful 🤢

tigsyboo · 13/02/2019 09:56

I don't mind Yakult... it's not a gin and tonic, but not evil either lol! X

BettySwoll0cks · 13/02/2019 10:42

Ok so @frazzle is 9dpo, I'm 8dpo, @tigsy is 7dpo. Anyone else coming close to D-Day?!

I have to admit I'm not really feeling pg, I think I'd normally be feeling a bit woosy by now - although I can't really remember with DS how I felt at this stage, too long and too many mc's ago! My lower tummy is still a bit tender and fluttery but honestly that could be anything.

Rose68 · 13/02/2019 10:52

Actimels are yummy and are similar to yakult, I have problems with thrush, but not for the last year as I’ve been having actimels every day, also I suspect the amount of supplements I have been taking has helped in keeping it at bay. When I get it, it’s bloody horrendous, I can’t imagine thrush just being a little tingle.

edidxb · 13/02/2019 13:06

I'm having a very quiet day at work today and I am here for a performance tonight which doesn't start until 6pm.......urrrghhhh.

I have grown very attached to everyone on this board. I have looked at the antenatal club for October on the talk boards but it is super quiet - only 140 posts or so so far. There is one on the Pregnancy board for October too which is busier at 690 but I'm just not sure I have the energy to invest!!

I almost don't feel like joining one in case I have a miscarriage again so I don't really want to talk about being pregnant as it makes it more real and then I get more invested and then potentially more upset if it all goes wrong. But it's nice to be with a group so you can compare symptoms etc.

And I like everyone here so much! I appreciate that at some point we will all give up the thread but hopefully once we all have BFPs and successful full term pregnancies.

I think I am feeling super emotional today hence such a weird post by me! I never even used Mumsnet until I started TTC after my first mc last year and then I joined the 35+ 1st child thread which was good, then the July 19 board where I met all you lovely people and now this thread which has helped me out SO much from December onwards. I genuinely care about everything that happens to you all, and I hope we all have positive endings in the near future.

So I don't know where I am going with this!! Other than to say I am still here, I think I'll read the October boards and maybe join in a few weeks, but probably not.....

Right, one hour to go until the performance starts!

@edidxb that is so lovely. I hope we don't give up the thread.
I am still friends with my TTC MN group from 11/12 years ago. We all got our BFP in the end so all have very similar aged children (9/10 years old). We all went over to FB and stayed in contact there. We only had one meet up as we all live so far apart but it was so lovely to meet all the babies we were all so desperate for. I have met up with one of them lots of times and we are still really close.

I like to think the same thing will happen with our group Smile

TwittleBee · 13/02/2019 13:30

edidxb yeah I feel like we were all the chatty ones in the July board and the Sep threads for me are only really just picking up pace now...

Strangely, only 2 people have left due to MC so far from the Sep board.... really surprised at how low that has been. Swear it was like 1/3 of the July board got wiped out?

Good luck with the performance btw!

Aww I do totally feel attached to everyone on here too! Just really hope we all stay in contact for a little while longer, would be lovely too if we actually all did live close by to meet up for a proper chin wag

TwittleBee · 13/02/2019 13:30

oh that is lovely Frazzle ! I hope we all get to be like that too with our BFPs and a lovely FB group together

Frazzlerock · 13/02/2019 13:39

It is harder for this group as some of us live abroad. With my old MN group, we all live in the UK, except one who lives in France but often comes back home.
But I do hope we can organise a meet up one day when and if the far away ones can't get over here, we will have to Skype them in!

I agree with you @Twittle re our July AN group, there was an absurd amount of people who were wiped out. Did we all get onto this group?
Do you still look at that group? I remember there was one with twins, I was thinking of her the other day

OP posts:
TwittleBee · 13/02/2019 13:47

I really struggle to look at that group, I have popped in now and then but it just stings so much. It is the same when I see the 4 friends/family that are due same time as we were, especially on IG where they post their weekly bump updates! I don't think we did all make it here though, I think there were quite a few more wasnt there? Just remember it being like almost daily we were discovering MCs Sad

ratherbeshowjumping · 13/02/2019 13:47

Aww @edidxb that's so lovely.
I completely agree. This group has been my lifeline & I truly have grown to truly care for all of you. I'd love to meet up, I know it's harder for @edidxb & @kin who are lucky enough to live in sunnier parts of the world, but it would be fab. Perhaps we should try & organise a meet up, before babies/bfps & once again when all the babies are finally here.
So many of the July group were wiped out, I hope they are all OK. It does strike me as strange that we were all the chattier ones on that thread, then we all ended up here together.
I do glance at the July thread occasionally, but I still feel so resentful, which I hate because that's not my personality at all.

Good luck for the performance @edidxb xxx

I wouldn't dare look at that thread now. I haven't looked at it since I announced our loss. I would lose my shit if I read it now.

@rather, yes I think a meet up before and after would be awesome!

OP posts:
BettySwoll0cks · 13/02/2019 14:39

I just ordered FRERs from boots.com (the 3 for 2 is still on). Should be arriving in my birthday (Saturday which is also CD27). Living dangerously...

TwittleBee · 13/02/2019 14:43

Rather I agree! Would be lovely!

Betty oh so so many FX

BettySwoll0cks · 13/02/2019 14:46

I agree with you all, I've become very attached to this group! I didn't have time to check into the thread until 10am this morning and felt a bit weird!!

Rose68 · 13/02/2019 15:03

I haven’t got time to properly reply now, but I just wanted to say that was such a lovely message @edidxb! I will hopefully reply properly later x

Kinsters · 13/02/2019 15:30

I'm still here! Having fun skiing. I'm really beginner so mostly greens but managed a few blues today! Just waiting for DH to make it down from the harder run he was doing.

I really hope everything is OK with your little bean Pegase.

Meet ups would be nice but yeah not easy for me as we're back so rarely.

tigsyboo · 13/02/2019 15:36

Ah I've just caught up whilst having a wee!!
That would be nice!! I vote we all meet up where it's hot though!!! 😂

I have just been to a job where an 8 year old is killing her pets, her friends pets.... basically any hamster/ guinea pigs etc get it.
Usually I'd be thinking bad parenting, serious abuse etc.... but this kid has made my blood run cold!! She is 100% the next rose west. She honestly chilled me!!! I need a gin ......

tigsyboo · 13/02/2019 15:38

I should add.... there clearly isn't any abuse... she's just a psychotic little cunt!! Now, I understand calling children cunts isn't PC .... but Jesus Christ this girl was a sociopath!!

Oh blimey @Tigsy.

She'll be doing this next Shock

I'm glad you're enjoying your skiing @Kinsters. Do you have set times of the year that you come back to UK, or just one offs?

OP posts:
BettySwoll0cks · 13/02/2019 15:46

OMG @tigsy I think I'd be physically sick if I had to deal with a child like that - it's deeply frightening. It's classic early stage psychopathy isn't it? Or maybe actually doing it is quite far down that road now i think about it. My DS has a little wooden saw from his play toolset and he went through a phase of telling me he was going to cut me. He's only 2, didn't have a clue what he was saying, but it still made my stomach turn!!

TwittleBee · 13/02/2019 15:48

oh blimey tigsy that really is terrifying! What do you do in that situation?

Btw agree, we should go where its hot to meet hahaha! Who is having us over then? haha
