November 2007- going through, been through or ttc after mc, still positive and still eating cakes

[grinningbee]

Here we are then, if it worked!

A nice new shiney thread to fill up with gorgeous cakes.

I'll start with a gooey sticky pecan pie at got at the W.I market yesterday morning

i think if you are pg then your first temp of the day should remain high, you get a dip right before your period iirc

The temps I use are all taken at the same time its just that I don't think my first is always that accurate - maybe my thermometer is a bit dodgy.

25m must be very difficult hopefully what you said about a longer LP this month is right

your first is the most accurate, after youve got up/had a cuppa/spoken your temp starts rising.

tbh, i think i couldve coped with 25m but ive had 5mc's and 1 ep in that time and am starting to lose heart. my lp has only been rubbish since my last mc (in june)

Morning girls, ILTS did you say you had a BFP?? I haven't had time to read last month's thread. I can't stay long (as usual)but will make more of an effort when my new laptop comes.
I am on to Cd24 and will be expecting AF on Friday or Saturday. I can't believe it's November already, one of my due dates(before I m/c)would have been next month on the 29th December and although I am well and truly over that m/c I can't help thinking what it would have been like having a little one born over the christmas period and what the baby would have looked like I still get a pang of sadness every now and then when I dwell on it, still, you can't live in the past, must pull my self together and think about what my next baby will be like when I get preggers again

It's very quiet on here today - hope that means you are all having nice weekends.

I am going back to work tomorrow for first time since mmc. I am really nervous but kind of eager to get back. Worried that I will end up in the loo in floods as soon as anything stressful happens ! Can't help thinking last time I was there I was pg ! I guess that's why I need to get back - get it over with.

Hope it will be OK - deep breaths and fingers crossed.

Loveangel You are a very thoughtful friend, going thru such emotion yourself and keeping it from your friend is a very very kind thing to do.

teeheelaydee It is quiet isn't it? I've not been on since Friday night and was worried it would take me all night to catch up! I just wanted to wish you all the very best for tomorrow and I hope it goes well for you...deep breaths.

GB Are you out there? Any news?

Hi all

Hope everyone is ok today.

Thanks mumstheword - I guess I just remember that when I was pregnant I was terrified whenever I heard about m/c or stillbirth. It's such a happy time when it's going well, I wouldn't want to spoil that for anyone, especially not someone who has had a rough time in the past.

teeheelady - Good luck back at work. Go easy on yourself, eh. Hope it all goes well xx

(Not ignoring you guys lissie & Clare, but I'm no way near as up on the wholoe tempoing thing as you so won't crash your conversation!)

meant to say whole temping thing

I'm being dim and not making myself clear. I lie in bed, take my temp, then stay there, take it again, if its consistent with 1st measurement I record 1st measurement. If they are vastly different I take it again and if attempts 2 & 3 re consistent record temp 2. I don't get up and move around, I just think I have a crap thermometer and sometimes first temp is wrong - I guess as it gets itself up to body temp it can not give enough time before it beeps. All this happens in a few mins.

Do you think I'm doing it wrong and I should just record the first temp. Like I say I've never tried this before so I don't really know.

ah, now i understand. that sounds about right.

well, i think i am officially 1dpo, got in there by the skin of my teeth, just hope that a) it comes from the tubed side and b) weve done enough. i hate this part of the month. it drives me loopy!

raaaaaah. just fed up today.
cd8. remember being at cd8 last month and feeling hopeful. Not this month
Just feeling down. If my 1st m/c hadn't happened I'd be due in about 2 weeks, and as for my second one, well i have a friend who is due around the time i would have been for that one, and she's got a lovely bump now

And I'm still having all my fears and worries about dd being an only child. )and bearing in mind I'm an only, i should be mnore sorted with those thoughts)

don't mind me..... Just feeling sad, irrational and pissed off (I'll stop there else you'll all think i'm crazy)

Hi all, just back from a lovely weekend away in Northumbria visiting friends. Ds loved going to the beach and playing with their kittens, not to mention the train journey. So pleased that he travels well CD5 and feeling a bit brighter in mood.

Spishsplosh - you sound very torn. It must be very difficult when you desperately want another child but your relationship is failing What do you think you will do? You talk sense about the summer baby thing but I just really want one. I would love to be on maternity leave when ds starts school so that I can take him there/pick him up every day. Plus I loved having ds in the summer - walks in the park, sitting in the garden etc. I have a winter birthday and hate it.

Jules - fantastic news. Congratulations on your engagement Your df sounds lovely Hope all the nice things he did on your birthday helped distract you from your edd.

Grinningbee - hope your faint line is a bfp. Fingers crossed x

Sigh, I miss Northumberland and the beautiful beaches, where did you go ladylush?

Littlebit, sorry to here you are down, hope you can perk up a bit. The time leading up to EDD is awful

Teeheelaydee hope your first day back at work is not too bad. I remember liking the distraction but it made me really tired so make sure you take it easy.

Grinningbee, how are things?

BTW is there still a cakefest this Friday?

Hi all

Hello gilly I went to berwick upon tweed. My friend lives in Scremeston - think that is how it's spelt. We went to Spittal Beach. It is lovely there. We were lucky with the weather as it wasn't too cold. Some wonderful sunsets

hey ladies
its been rather quiet on here recently.
hope you are all doing well and had nice weekends.

teehee - hope today went well at work. i went straight back after my d&c and it actually helped to have some normalcy in a way. i did get down sometimes but i probably would have been worse if i stayed home, i think. anyway, hope you are doing well and are on the up.

alittlebit - your definitely not crazy and i think its important to ride the ups and downs. hope you are feeling a bit better today.

lissie and claire - that stuff is way over my head! it amazing how much more i know now though, since this time last year. we are such mad scientists when it comes to ttc! good luck, hope you get the jackpot this month.

loveangel - that was a really nice thing to do . . . i spent time with an overdue friend on sat and felt like it was okay to mention my mc briefly(since all her fear is now focussed on the birth experience!). its weird because i do envy those innocent pregnant mums (actually all of my friends with kids) who have had totally unproblematic pregnancies but at the same time, i felt so humbled by my own mc experience and grateful to have conceived again - i could never take any of this for granted and i feel really blessed.

anyway, have to run as a wave of nausea is about to hit.

hope you are all doing well. i am still pooing myself about my scan on wednesday. hope its all okay - still having intense pains at night, but no bleeding - just want to see a heartbeat.

sticky babydust to all

Hello- is there still something going on on 9th????

Have you changed your name from Flosspot?

I think we are still on for Friday. Since you are travelling from Jersey we thought it best if you chose a place in London and we would all meet you there. I think Torres would like to come along too. I don't know about times though as I can only make it after 5:30pm.

Please tell me you are Flosspot otherwise all this is not going to make much sense!!!!

Sorry- yes, I'm flosspot, although not flying in from Jersey- thought that was Ellie.....

OOPS! sorry got that wrong In that case we hope Ellie picks a place and we all meet there.

...apologies, I'll go and hide now!

loveangel - I meant to say yesterday how strong I thought you had been and how thoughtful. I'm not sure I could have done it.

Also am the same as some of you in that I have not graduated to the temp thing. I find peeing on sticks complicated enough and in fact we didn't bother on the month that I fell ! Bet I'll be back to all that by Christmas.

1st day back was OK and I did like or normality and it felt I hadn't been away which was a relief. Although the first thing I saw was the delivered maternity uniform of my friend who is 3 weeks ahead of where I would have been but I was fine.

Boss phoned me this morning and was lovely - said I should go home early if I'd had enough this afternoon - so I did !! Hence why able to post at 5 !

alittlebit Just go with how you feel - it will pass and you will feel positive again I am sure.

Grinningbee Have you tested again yet - any news ?

Cake update - I actually made cakes yesterday. Lemon drizzle muffins (they look like yorkshire puds ! Boo) and pink iced cupcakes - highlighter pink v/luminous.

jules! how are you my love? agree, this is our month!

fabbly! he did a poo on the toilet today, so thats the next stage started. he's soooo clever!

jules and lissie: can this be my month too? can we all hold hands together????

(where are you guys in the month? Jules do i remember that you;re a couple of days ahead of me? I'm cd 9 atm)

Tjuice - thinking of you for weds.

grinningbee - oooh I want to know your news!!

ILTS - hows things?
