Wasabi cross posted! I was wondering where you were i have everything croseed for you this month xx

Joolsiam · 21/04/2009 14:54

Wasabi - I am NOT going to slap you - I am going to cheer you on

I was probably 60% certain by 7DPO each time that my body was not doing the normal pre AF things and something was afoot - I am convinced that it is indeed possible to know that early.

Other early signs - insomnia / vivid dreams / creamy CM - any of those yet (oh that sounds a bit wierd, sorry )

Not feeling icky today apart from very vague nausea when walking to the GP. However, I'm working from home and have stuffed my face with fresh baked M&S cheese scones and the last of the Easter choc today, so I guess the constant eating and lack of stress / exercise helps that one ! Boobs are definitely sore though and feel fuller, although I'm still not yet filling a C cup

I surprised myself by bursting into a fairly violent fit of tears when talking to the GP about the MC - she made me talk her through what happened - it helped I think - hopefully I'll stop having nightmares about it

Hi wasabi - yes resisted ...eeeeeeeeeee
Fingers crossed for you!

Hi Iggy Whatsfortea[waves] jukes great news re the scan.

C1NDY · 21/04/2009 15:20

Jools Cool, I can't wait to start, I thought by July I will be refreshed and ready to start this TTC larky again. I am so so happy for you. Just relax and enjoy and the early scan will put your mind at ease. When I get pg again I will also insist on having an early scan done to ease my mind. I am going to miss you though, so don't disappear to GFJ thread forever you must pop in here and tell us all the gossip.

Iggy Looks like we are both in for the AF wait. I think its the first time I am looking forward to it arriving FF has kept all my data which is good. How are you feeling in general. I feel like I need to wait till July before ttc which really its just around the corner but you never know I may start earlier...

kittycatcat · 21/04/2009 15:24

oops typo sorry Jules

C1NDY · 21/04/2009 15:25

Wasabi (big hugs) goush, I can't believe what has happened it was my second MC... oh, well that's life. I was terriably upset and I really do get so upset at moments but its life... I can either mop about it or do something positive i.e. ttc. I am dreading doing the TTC again, but with you ladies on the journey makes it so much fun. WEll all my fingers and toes crossed for you, sounds promising!!!

iggypiggy · 21/04/2009 15:29

C1ndy I plan to wait at least a month...ie. after AF arrives - my head isn't ready to start trying again and I'll see how I feel after AF.

Joolsiam · 21/04/2009 15:30

C1ndy - doing that diet signalled my post MC recovery I think - before that, I was moping and had no focus. Doing something positive gave me back that focus and I suddenly felt really energised, with a goal in life that wasn't TTC Just make sure you drink at least the 2.25 litres of water they tell you to glug - it really makes a difference - to complexion and EWCM if nothing else . One day at the gym, I started having blurred vision and I'm told it was dehydration - you need to compensate for the water you don't get through food

Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere I seem to be a regular on 3 established threads and 2 antenatal ones (Dec09 and Knicker Checkers) but can't leave here - we only have 42 more posts before we all graduate anyway

yellowflowers · 21/04/2009 16:42

Hello all (especial big hello to cindy and iggy)

We're nearly at 999 messages - someone else's turn to start new one... sorry my optimistic thread title didn't work!

Good stuff jools and fab news smiley and everything crossed for wasabi.

We are still BDing - as not temping no idea where in cycle I am except I am day 16 (max cycle length is 38).

But... am not well. Hurts to swallow, am knackered, sinuses hurt...

Last night dh home late and I was home alone and I just sat on sofa and wailed - literally sobbing in little moans. Was fine as soon as he was home. was so odd. Please don;t worry - not having a breakdown. I may be tired and emotional...

Hi everyone,

Yellow - its funny isn't it! Even the strongest of people can be overtaken by emotions. I have found myself weepy over nothing including deal or no deal. One thing that I have learnt is that ttc play absolute havoc with your emotions. Sometimes giving in and having a good old sob can do wonders!
I hope you are feeling better now .

hope everyone else is having a nice day in this wonderful sunshine (may it please last the weekend - dh turning 30 and have organised an outside table at local pub..).

Quick question- What should ewcm consistency be?? It normally hangs around for two day but today very gluggy like giant jelly like blob . Hard to imagine anything being able to swim thou it!?!? Usually a lot thinner. any thoughts???

yellowflowers · 21/04/2009 17:56

Hi lovelymonster (I so love your username)

I've had the big jelly blob thing a couple of times before and also had it thinner for longer. Uh, that doesn't help I know, but think both are normal.

I think the times I've had the blob ewcm were times I ovulated later (some cycles are 30 days, some up to 38) so perhaps it as had more time to accumulate?

Hey yellowflowers (ditto with name!)
mmm its weird isn't it. have noticed it on a few occasions. probably linked to diet or something?? This month I am totally chilling. we are in the process of having some bloods done and dh sperm tested (much to his delight!). I have decided that this month will not be the month as really want to complete all the tests (last time had tests was actually pg but did not realise then mc a week later).

Taking it easy and living life to the fullest including lots of non baby focused bding. Today is our 2nd wedding anniversary and enjoying bubbles, choc and about to be taken out for an italian.my dh is about to get real lucky tonight!!!

one of my friends went to hells kitchen last night. im so !

yellowflowers · 21/04/2009 22:13

Happy anniversary lovelymonster.

We're a month behind you for tests. My first hospital appt is in may.

C1NDY · 22/04/2009 08:47

Yellowflowers I remember on my TTC pre MC, when I was on the two week wait I would sometime sob, its all the emotion of what you are trying to achieve and how exhausted you are in then waiting to see if you have achieved. Then I would get down when AF arrived but then some how pick myself up and go through the bd fest again!! It seems like it is a circle? I guess it is the cycle of our TTC life smile I think its good to cry its better out then in. I think we all block so much pent up frustration inside that sometimes our body needs to have a release. Have you tried doing some relaxation exercising i.e. slow breathing to relieve the stress? If you are exhausted take sometime ? take a long weekend break doing absolutely nothing. Let us know how the tests go?. And good luck

LovelyMonster I always had thick sticky EWCM and it did blob every now and again. Don?t worry about the blighters not getting through as they will. I saw a documentary on the conception thingy it was admazing to see how well the sperm swam when there was more EWCM. I would get bding if I was you as you are most fertile when you see that sign, if you are past the bding stage then sometimes it is a sign that either you may be pg or that your AF is due. Oh the weather is going to be glorious this weekend, just ready for the Marathon. I have a friend running and they have been told its gonna be hot!! Congratulations on the second anniversary? Cindy raises a glass of champers too!

I hope you all don?t mind but I started a new thread?.. can?t do the link but its called?. Come and find its called:-

TTC any which way DP CM BT OPK Grapefruit drinking .... If anyone can do the links then great...that would help everyone
