Looking to connect with other for ladies who are waiting for the new year ttc
The waiting is so hard!!!

Any news on your visa yet sabs?

sausagemcgrah · 28/11/2008 19:19

Hi everyone,

It's been a quiet day on here!

Glad you had a nice day louisesh villagemum, I'm going to have a look at thread now to see what hardcore TTC is all about! I am a bit scared by the idea of temping etc. I'm a nightmare as it is without more to obsess about! On second thoughts I'd better stay away.

How's everyone else doing? Big Wave!!

louisesh · 28/11/2008 19:27

Thanks SAUSAGEMCGRAH yes had a much better day.Hope everyone has a good friday night!!!!

VJay · 29/11/2008 12:20

I have a problem. Dh is away this weekend, which is fine because I'm only on CD 10-11, but when he gets back he's going straight onto night shift for a couple of nights, so for the crucuial ov days he'll be soooo tired. What should I do?, could I siphon in anyway?. So much for me being relaxed about the whole thing.

sausagemcgrah · 29/11/2008 18:19

Hi everyone,

Hmmmmmmmmmmm vjay -that's a tricky one. If it was me i'd just pin him down whenever possible within those days, tired or not! And I was reading lately how it's the 4 or so days leading up to ov that are really important so I'd make sure you're doing it lots then too.

So.... I have a bit of news.....

I tested yesterday and a lovely, shiny, happy, healthy (I hope!) BFP!!!!!!!!!

I tested again today and yippee! Another BFP!

I couldn't be happier! It's been 7 weeks 6 days since my miscarriage and I feel like the luckiest eprson alive to be pregnant again already.

I am going to treasure every minute of it this time, and take nothing for granted. I'm so happy I might pop!

Vjay - I thought we'd missed the important day for doing the deed, but seems it didn't matter anyway! We just randomly did it lots throughout the month and it seemed to work!

VJay · 29/11/2008 18:51

sausagemcgrah · 29/11/2008 19:08

Thanks vjay, I am so excited to see it on the list - thank you! I can't really believe it!

Ha ha about you doing things to DH when he's asleep. It's been hard TTC after the mmc as I've been feeling so down, and it's caused arguments quite a few times, but then after arguing and feeling sad all day I'm like 'come on DH, we've got to get busy!' Very romantic indeed! But it worked! Yippee yippee.

There's nothing romantic about serious baby making, a job needs doing and I WILL get it done . No I'm not that bad, after 2 mc's I'm at the point where what will be will be (after my little panic about tired DH that is).

VJay · 30/11/2008 18:02

Hello, it's very quiet in here today

sausagemcgrah I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!

When I read it I was shouting sausagemcgrah got a BFP!! Poor DH had to ask what a BFP meant! lol

Hope everyone is having a good sunday. I've got the inlaws over (including SIL with her 5 week old daughter) so will catch up properly later on...

well done sausage fingers crossed for a sticker.
I'm not sure what's going on here (nothing newthere then) I have just stopped bleeding (started tues eve) but it's too early to be a period isn't it? Is it the m/c or was that over with the bleeding at the time of the EP diagnosis? I don't expect you guys to know, I'm just so confused!!

VJay · 01/12/2008 19:31

hinomoremag my periods were a lot shorter after 1st mc, i had an erpc that time, but they were normal length after 2nd mc.

welcome mrsdisorganised of course you are welcome here the more the merrier!

Good luck for ttc too

What are you up to this evening? I'm cheering myself up by listening to Take That's new album which came out today!

sausagemcgrah · 01/12/2008 21:15

Hi everyone,

Thanks to you all for your lovely messages. I still can't believe it. More than that though, I think I don't want to get too excited following my miscarriage. It all seems a bit unreal as it happened so soon. I think I'll just try and relax a bit now, and try and enjoy being pregnant without thinking about it too much. At least until I'm a good few weeks in and it seems more real. I'll stick around on this thread too if that's okay with everyone. I don't really want to join the August antenatal thread as I'm being a bit superstitious and don't want to count my chickens so to speak.

barbie - any sign of your period yet? All the other signs sound like it's coming, and perfect timing with DH coming home soon too. Fingers crossed for you.

sabs, great you got your visa sorted, and also not long till you can TTC. It will be time before you know it, and you've given your body a good chance to recover. How long are you going on holiday for? Sorry to hear your day was a bit rubbish too. Was it something in particular or were you just feeling a bit down?

Nomoremagnolia, sorry - I'm no help either. I do know that everything and anything seems to happen after a miscarriage though. I hope it settles down.

welcome and good luck mrsdisorganised.

sausagemcgrah of course you can stick around, you're not allowed to leave us, you're our 1st BFP! You give us all hope. Totally understand your anxiety about not wanting to get too excited, I would be the same.

Will be back from India on 10th Jan. Don't think I'll get much time to go on MN when im there...will miss you guys!

Works getting me down, i havent had a proper break this year and I had a really horrible nightmare about losing another angel which has plagued my thoughts all day but trying not to make anyone sad with my morbid thoughts...we have to keep this thread upbeat!

mrsdisorganised · 01/12/2008 21:41
