TTC any which way DP CM BT OPK Grapefruit drinking ....

[C1NDY]

Hi everyone I have started a new thread... hope you like the new home, this is where it will all happen. (Cindy opens a bottle of champagne) Here's a drink to all and to our month ofthe BFP... .... baby dust all around ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wasabi so sorry to hear your news, our thoughts are with you big hug hun (((hug)))

wasabi - i too am so so sorry to hear news. and I completely want to echo jools and say we're all hear during good and bad times so make sure you stick around honey. Lots of love to you. xxxx

Am becoming more and more convinced that AF will be here before morning

Thought I was OK with that - good news that cycle is proven back to normal, another month of losing weight etc - but I'm not got very very ANGRY earlier this evening, especially when confronted with someone in the pub who got pg by accident and is debating whether to keep "it" For some reason, I woke up this morning reliving in my head the conversation I had with the antenatal receptionist while I was miscarrying - woke up in tears

Oh jools I can totally understand your anger. It seems to bloody unfair doesn't it? When you are ttc or have had a mc the world seems to be filled with people who got pg at the drop of a hat and, in some cases, don't want to be. People like Karen Mathews get pg produce all these children and neglect them. It's bitterly unfair.

I hope you feel better as today goes on. I am feeling calmer today. The anger I had yesterday seems to be fading thank god. I'm still sad but don't feel quite as desolate as I felt yesterday. Dh and I hav decided to spend this evening ordering seeds and we got some nice lillies to plant this afternoon. Funtime is right, gardening is good for the soul. Knowing we have something to look forward to in the Spring and Summer feels nourishing somehow. I love the thought of ds tearing round the garden helping himself to cherry tomatoes and popping pea pods together.

Thanks for all your nice messages. It means so much to me. it's odd how at a time like this you can't face telling your real life friends but your virtual friends are so important.

Hi wasabi - wasn't online yesterday but checked today and so sorry for your news. Thinking of you. Enjoy gardening - it's a lovely clear day where I am.

Well, a bfn here as expected. I'm OK about it as I knew that I wasn't pg (been there just tooooooooooooo many times ) but dh is very disappointed and said "right, which days do I need to be here next month?", as he travels quite a bit with work .

Wasabi - popping peas make up some of my favourite times with ds last summer . He was just starting to talk and 'peeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaas' was often heard shouted in the garden. He thought that they were some kind of treat and I don't remember actually cooking any . Needless to say, I'm growing twice as many this year !

Hugs to Jools.

Sorry ladies - didn't mean to be quite so moany That is what one small glass of wine does to me these days !!

Commiserations Funtime

Well, no AF here yet - a little bit more brown stuff first thing but nothing since.

I am weepy (rather than PMT irritable), was nauseous this morning and am very very tired - skipped the gym and stayed in bed which is most unlike me. I've had 4 nights now of very vivid nasty dreams and severe insomnia coupled with hot flushes.

However, my boobs are still as flat as pancakes and my thick hair is still falling out when I brush it (not losing any hair when brushing was the symptom that persuaded me to test last time)

I'm resigned to a BFN tomorrow or Tuesday - this I am just exhausted from not sleeping ...

Hi ladies,

Jools it's good to moan, once it's out it's like a weight lifted from me when i moan so carry on!

I'm loving how green fingered everyone is! I'm rubbish with plants etc, i attempted to plant some last year and they either drowned coz i forgot to pierce the bottom of the tubs or i forgot to water them. Decided not to bother this year!

Well, i had a BFN yesterday morning too but not resigning to AF yet as only 11DPO today so could have been too early. Not feeling at all "periody" i.e. moody, low, dull aches down there. My boobs were sore friday into saturday but that has now subsided, i have had a few twinges and a nasty pain in lower abdomen this morning, only for a split second but wasn't nice. Still having white creamy discharge (lovely!) so it's a bit of a waiting game for me now. Bought a duo pack of the clearblue digital preg tests with conception indicator off ebay yesterday for £9!! bargain i thought.
Time will tell, and despite being a bit blue yesterday, i'm much more upbeat about it today. So my 2WW is up on Wednesday, watch this space!

ooh wannabe - v exciting!

Funtime - sorry to hear AF got you

Jools - until AF comes you can never be sure. remember AF symptoms are so similar to PG. It really could go either way.

And wannabe - sounding good. here's hoping.

Today is CD18 for me. I'm now pretty sure I surged on CD 13 and that I Ovd a few days after that (I did a bit of internet research and it said you could OV up to 3 days after the surge and I definitely had EWCM CD 16 and 17)...I'm still BDing in case but now assuming I'm on the 2ww.

Yellow and iggy - how are you getting on? I believe we're all due about same time...

wasabi - if you're out there, big hug. xxx

Hi queenie - I am working today .

Well think I ovulated yesterday or today though temp a bit allover the place as still bot completely well - today could barely keep thermometer in mouth as hurt to swallow, so not sure how accurate it was,and showed a slight dip whereas a rise would have confirmed ovulation, but I had ewcm on Fri and Sat. Going to carry on BD for a bit longer though just in case. Haven't stuck brilliantly to DP either - had sex on days 3/6/11/12/13/16/18(today). I was a bit annoyed we didn't manage days 13 or 14 though.

On the other hand I am exhausted, have sore breasts and keep being sick but the sickness I think is because I am not well, and the exhaustion too probably, though an outside chance I ovulated early as did have a sustained temp rise early in cycle though then it went back down again a few days later.

See, way too much information and basically I have no idea what is going on this month.

What about you?

Sorry to hear that AF arrived funtime but the thought of your ds shouting "peeeaaaaaas" is really cute and made me chuckle. We grew them a couple of years ago and I don't remember any actually making it indoors to a pan. Yum yum.

wannbe I have my fingers crossed for you.

Jools - hope you get some decent sleep tonight!

Still awaiting AF - don't wish her on me yet, sob !

sorry wasabi - think that was my error!! Definitely don't want to wish the witch on you!!! should have said...sorry about bfn but that still v early etc etc !

Sorry funtime

Wasabi I just logged in to check how you were going and I'm so sorry it's not good news. I even just had a little cry then. Ahhhh, the next couple of weeks won't be easy it all and don't do too much. When I had my MC it did help me to be at work and by attempting to act normal sometimes made me feel normal. The worst thing for me was seeing my DH cry so I'm sure today and yesterday have been a nightmare for you.
Broodzilla - MN has been great for me. Helping me feel less alone after my MC, in company during TTC and a place to share my good news when I wasn't ready to share it with real life.
Thanks girls!

Looks like AF is here and she is gearing up to be a bitch this time Oh well, at least I am now safe to take ibuprofen as I'm going to be in need of painkillers I think (unusual for me) !!

I think I am going to make a GP appt anyway though - the fatigue, dizziness and nausea is not imagined (I even had it soon after the MC), so maybe there is another cause ?

I had a some friends over for dinner Saturday night and one of them stayed over. On Sat night after everyone (but me - boo hoo) had had too much to drink my pal told me she was TTC and her period was due Friday. This morning she asked if I had any tests and could she do one - of course I did and asked her if she was sure she wanted to do one. She reassured me she did so we sat together while she did one - I so, so, so wanted it to be BFP. It would have been great to have shared that happy moment with her - although of course we never would have told her DH he wasn't the first. Anyway - it was BFP . I felt for her and almost wish I'd pretended I didn't have a test in the first place.

you mean bfn becky?

Wasabi oh darling, I am so sorry to hear of this news. Just logged on this morning. If you want to share any of your thoughts even those of anger, then we are all here for you. It is such a sad time. Look after yourself, big hugs to you and your DH.

Yellow Hi there, glad the sites are giving you something else to obsess about!

Jools sorry to hear that AF is coming! We must think a like; when AF arrives I also think - another couple of weeks were's I can lose some weight - I thought I was the only one who had those thoughts. Been watching The biggest loser, and its given me so mcuh hope to losing the weight... I have three stones to lose. My DH and I are competing against eachother to see who can lose the most weight. If I win the weigh-in he get to clean the whole house!! what an incentive. (DH only has a stone to lose and men do lose their weight quicker so I better make the most of it whilst it lasts!) Goush, I am ramberling on this morning!!

Funtime sorry to hear AF has arrived. How many cycles has it been now and what methods are you trying. I am never okay when AF shows her head, so if you want to yell and scream or even get annoyed on this thread then do it, it helps sometime.

I stopped testing myself on the OPK sticks as the test line was a little paler and I thought.. why am i doing this to myself when nature wants to give me a sign then I will get one. I am only 5DPO.

Smileycat okay, I am going to temping this month. I brought a gadget called First Response... but I don't like it and want to use an ordinary ear temperature gadget.. would this be okay? If I take my temperature every day from CD1, I plot the information on FF and then what do they do, do they tell me what the predictions are for my cycle? I may have ovulated later in the month.. but to get three strong positives on consecutive days is a little odd (okay, here's me hoping).

Just dug out the list as it was a few pages back - at least I can add myself now my cycle is behaving itself and I can actually predict what will happen when !

Any more news from Funtime and Wanabe ??

Wasabi - I wasn't sure what would be best, so have left you as you are for now .. Haven't you got another scan today ? Hope all goes as well as it can.

Hi Cindy - ear temps are not accurate enough. Need to be special digital bbt ones that you use orally or vaginally.
