[Bucky2008]

Ahhh, look how nice and clean and new this thread is .

And there is a big ScaryHairy birthday cake for us all to share. I am not being good till after Thursday afterall...

AF turned up so no damage done (apart from to my liver of course ) I am not surprised so not overly sad this month.

Bucky sorry AF showed up but glad you're not overly sad. Here's to lots of well-timed BD-ing this month

Sorry TEW showed but definately no guilt now and you could do it all again at the weekend

bucky - grrrr, sorry about AF showing up for you, but I suppose the small consolation is that you raced a disabled buggy around Euston station blind drunk after a top night out and felt like old Bucky again

hellooooooo to everyone else. No internet at home so if I don;t post again, I probably won;t be around until Monday at this rate (unless I'm in the office at the weekend ). Have a lovely sunny weekend everyone

JGx

Sorry the evil one got you Bucky but at least it sounds like you had a great night

If I wanted to symptom spot I could probably half convince myself that I am pg but more than likely it is my imagination running wild lol

I have got mild period like pains going on but keep thinking that maybe its stretching lol

My boobs seem to be a bit bigger and although they are not sore I am "aware" of them at times and I also seem to be peeing more but its probably just that I am drinking plenty!!

Plus I keep feeling sick on and off, feels like a cross between nausea and hunger (even though I hav not long eaten)

If I was naive I could easily believe I was pg but I have believed myself to be pg many times in the past only for af to show up lol

No doubt I will feel stupid in a couple of days when af arrives and once again its my overactive imagination and wishful thinking to blame

hi readyfornum2 those sound like some pretty good symptoms to me - I hope AF stays away and that you are pregnant!

Hope everyone else is having a good weekend. It's very quiet on here so I'm assuming every one's off enjoying the great weather

just a quick one from me - hav just discovered hotel has wifi so checkin up on you all via mobile!

Bucky am sorry to hear bout period arriving. Its good to hear that you're not letting it get to you this month, and your night out sounds exactly what you needed. Take care x

How was the train journey home Caitni after your birthday drinks?? Hope you had a fab evening!

Wedding was fab yesterday - except we were on a table of 5 couples and guess how many were pregnant out of those 5? Yep, 4 of them (me being the odd one out obviously). Rubbish rubbish rubbish. I guess because the people getting married were in their thirties it was to be expected that the place would be overrun with babies and pregnancy. Even Dh commented on it.

Ah well.....

Just off out so quick hi and hope you're all well to everyone else!!

Enjoy the beautiful sunshine everyone xx

Well after having all those good symptoms on friday they have all disappeared!
I tested this morning through wishful thinking and got a BFN so I am out this month

I just want af to arrive now so that I can get on with cycle 2

hi ladies
bucky sorry AF got you but sounds like you did us proud on the night out front
RFN2 sorry about the BFN as we say its not over til the red lady sings
PnM did you flaunt your ability to drink lots of alcohol in front of the smug preggos at the wedding? i would have got steaming drunk and talked about soft cheese and shellfish all night (sorry to the lovely non smug preggos lurking)
judith hope you had a nice relaxing weekend and didnt have to work
MOB hi, hope you are ok
hi to everyone else lurking or otherwise
its my appointment today[bites nails] wish me luck
xx ei xx

Just a quick message to say GOOD LUCK to you Ei - I'll be thinking of you. Hope you get on well xxx

Also sorry to hear about the BFN readyfornum2 - but I agree with Ei, there's still hope while there's no AF!

PnM God, a table full of pregnant couples - I don't think I could have faced that. Well done you for getting through it!

to all the other lovely ladies
xx

Good morning everyone

Bucky Your night out sounds fantastic!! I think it's definitely important to go out and have a good time once in a while, and to feel "normal" - so do NOT feel bad about it. Infact, next time, you'd better take us all along!! Sorry about AF arriving.

JG Hope you had a nice weekend.

Caitni How were your birthday drinks on Friday? Hope you had a lovely time, and that you are feeling ok.

PnM Crumbs, that must have been really hard at the wedding. I think that if that had been me i would have either been a sobbing wreck or blind drunk by the end of the evening (actually, knowing me, i would have been both ) Well done on getting through it. It must have been so difficult for you and for DH. When are you back? if you are still there- hope you are getting out and about and having a good time.

readyfornum2 So sorry to hear about the BFN. But it's true, it's not over yet. Hope AF does not turn up.

unituber How are things with you? Hope you are feeling ok, and the crusty belly button is healing well. Are you off work this week too? (I hope you are)Have you booked that weekend away for your DH yet?

EI Lots of love and luck to you for your appt today. I hope it goes really well, and that you are offered help and support. I will be thinking of you, and look forward to hearing how it went. XX

We had a nice weekend, and enjoyed some of the sunshine. DH & I got a new duvet yesterday - one of the thickest you can get, in readiness for winter. We went to bed really early last night to enjoy it for the first time (sadly we had to have match of the day on and the golf) and it was SO difficult to get out of bed this morning! I am working at home today, so i quite tempted to go and get back under it right now

hi ladies
ok im back from my appointment. i have been told i have a strain of antiphospholipid syndrome called lupus erythemothrombosis. i had to have a repeat blood test to confirm it but that seems to be the cause for my MCs. im not sure whether i feel happy that i have an answer or upset that i have a blood disorder that will make it hard for me carry any babies the consultant was lovely and very sympathetic and answered all of my questions though which was a nice change so what happens next is i have to get up the duff and then start on baby asprin and heparin injection combo alongside 2weekly appointments and scans to keep an eye on the progress of my preg and he also said that i was doing well starting to lose weight and to keep it up as it will help with being able to conceive so i will be keeping that up so that seems to be about the gist of it im feelin a bit weird about it all now and i now have to go to work and act cheerful im off tomorrow on a rest day so i will try and bottle up my weirdness til then
xx ei xx

Just a quickie for Ei.
When I had my daughter there was a woman on my ward with this condition and she was having her third child. So do not fret. You can get pregnant, all the pieces are there and the drugs they've suggested will help your next bean to stick. Now you've got some answers it will be ok.

Take care.

Ei I'm so glad you've got a diagnosis. It's excellent, as you know you're capable of conceiving (the weight loss can only help with that too ), so the next steps are clearly laid out. If this is the same as Hughes Syndrome, then my sister-in-law has this too - her first pregnancy was trouble free but then she had three miscarriages in a row. She was so so disheartened, as was my brother, when she was diagnosed with Hughes Syndrome. When next pregnant she was treated as you mention and had a healthy pregnancy, and then another one (bringing a grand total of three lovely DCs ). I know you must be feeling quite overwhelmed, but this treatment really does work so here's hoping you get a BFP really soon so you can get cracking with the baby aspirin etc . Also, this is apparently really easily missed so 10 out of 10 to your consultant for spotting it right off the bat .

UniT hope you're doing OK and that the belly button's healed. Are you still sticking to taking a break from ttc til Nov? It must be annoying to have conflicting advice...

Bucky & JudithGin hope you gals both had a good weekend!

MOB new duvet sounds excellent. If I were you I'd be "working" from bed with a laptop (which is what my "working from home" usually descends into!).

Big hello to PnM & readyfornum2 and everyone else.

Things are good with me. My hypoconception CD arrived today, so am planning to listen to it tonight before DH gets home. I think I'm ovulating today, so more nooky planned for tonight and tomorrow morning. The CD's arrived at the perfect time! The drinks on Friday night were really fun. The pub we were in (the Easton which some of you ladies may remember ) became a bit loud later on, so I was kind of glad to leave at half ten to get our train. As we left girls started dancing on tables - I felt a bit long in the tooth for it all TBH!

EI glad the appt went well, but crumbs, you must be feeling a bit shell shocked. I hope you are managing ok at work (and don't worry, you can let all your weirdness out on here ) It does seem like a positive step forward though - at least they know what is wrong and how to put it right. The only trouble is, judging by the examples unituber & caitni have given - you are just going to have to go on and have 3 children . Seriously though, i hope you can come to terms with this initial shock, and then they can help you and make all your (and your DH's) dreams come true. Hugs to you.

Caitni Pleased you had a good night out. Hope your CD is ok - the ivf one i have has a woman with quite an annoying voice, but hopefully i'll get used to her. Sadly i can't work in bed - my company are too stingy to provide us with lap tops, only pcs.

unituber Am worried that a fleeting message from you means your working... i hope not... although if you are, i guess that means you are feeling better, which is a good thing.

EI- Its good that they have given you a diagnosis, I have read about the condition and it appears that aslong as you start the aspirin and injections straight after a bfp it is very succesful so fingers crossed for that bfp soon

PnM- I dont know how you managed it, I would definately have been very drunk by the end !!

Caitni- Enjoy the bding and hopefully the cd will help things along this month

MOB- That duvet sounds very cosy lol

Hello to everyone else aswell x

Well I feel very much like af will arrive in the next few hours so I guess the bfn was right
Oh well I guess this month was just a practice run lol (plus I think DP would have robbed if I had fallen in the first cycle lol

Hello ladies

I am sorry I haven't been around much but since I am not really ttc (but rather am recovering from ttc and considering my next move) I have not been spending so much time on the conception threads.

Although I did pop into the assisted conception thread today and from the number of WIMBEWAIFers over there I begin to think we should all just relocate...

Readyfornum2 I'm sorry you think your period is coming, but hey, that would have been miraculously fast otherwise and maybe next month you'll get lucky.

MOB I am of your duvet. Yes I am back at work. I was so bored at home and had to get back to normal. Really, my tum is hardly scabby at all now!

Caitni - get you and Bucky and your alcoholic benders! I am pretty of those too. Although that is also the colour I would be in the morning!! Enjoy the CD!

Bucky Good on you letting off steam and letting old Bucky out for a bit. I can have a vicarious social life through you [sigh]

Picknmix poor you dealing with the smug preggos. I hope you had lots of wine and went on and on about how delicious it was. That'll learn 'em.

Hope you're feeling a bit less shocked, ei.

Higs to everyone else (Judith, I hope you are not working too hard) .

Well its cd29 and although i thought it would arrive last night af is still awol.

I still dont think that i am pg though because since loosing all that weight my periods have changed a bit so could just be down to that.

If the evil one hasnt turned up by thursday i might test again but im sure she will

Hope everyone has a good day x

Do you know when you ovulated readyfornum2?

cant say for definate but I had the right signs around day 15, I know that I am not pg I can tell but I just wish af would arrive so could get on with cycle 2!!

Why is it that af shows up when we dont want it but as soon as we do it goes awol!!!

Hi all,

Am now back and about to have a cuppa and a catch up.

Be back in a mo (once I've convinced dh to put the kettle on and bring me said tea as still in plaster on crutches so still dependent on him to do everything!)

X

Bugger, I wrote a really long post and thought it was here but now I check and it isn't!??!!!

Haven't got time to rewrite it at the moment so will try again this afternoon

hello everyone,

sorry for going awol. I have been utterly swamped at work! They are also clamping down with internet usage here (I found out they were monitoring some people) so I am beign more careful. Broadband is playing up at home so I have been starved of Mumsnet!!!

Ei I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis with lupis. DH told me his ex had the condition and she was fit as a fiddle and she has two DC's now. They have found an issue and now they will treat it accordingly, so in some ways it is a plus that you know. You can put it right.

picknmix - please post your lovely long message again

hello to MOB ready unitube bucky and anyone else out there. I'll post more soon

Nothing to report here. I'm at CD17 and we BD-ed every day from 8-15, so no one can say we didn't give it a good shot. DH is away for a few nights from CD15, so that's probably the end of our TTC attempt this month.

Depressingly I have just seen something in a magazine articel about looking after your body for life 101 tips or something (reading my secretary's "Easy Living" while I scoffed down a sandwich) with Zita West saying "I always recommend that my cleints don't attempt IVF in the winter months" January anyone....?!

Judith Did she give a reason? Why on earth would winter make a difference I wonder?

Hi everyone,

hope everyone's well.

JudithG Hmmm, I personally find Zita West a bit iffy, in that she makes sweeping statements like that and doesn't back it up with anything. It's the reason I wasn't so impressed with the book of hers I picked up. Try not to let it get to you , as you're in such good shape mentally and physically that there's every reason to be positive about your treatment. Sorry to hear you're swamped at work - I live in fear of monitoring internet usage!

PnM oh hope you can remember the gist of your long post! And hope you got that tea!

UniT perfectly understandable that you're not spending too much time on the conception threads but do hope you pop in and say hello from time to time xx

Ei hope you're doing OK lady.

MOB I'm actually liking the hypnoconception CD! Having to lie down, relaxing - what's not to like? No melting like butter though...

07MTW hope you're doing well.

Ready any sign of AF?

Bucky also hope you're doing well my lovely. Any other trips to Leeds recently?

to everyone I may have forgotten.

Nothing interesting going on with me - our BD-ing bonanza stopped on Tuesday morning, as ov'd Monday. So now officially on the tww. Am promising myself to not go mad symptom spotting after last month's huge disappointment. Easy to say at 2 dpo, but imagine I'll be wondering at every twinge in a week or so...
