July/August baby threads, where are you now? Wishing, Sunnydale, Homeinthesun, Headfairy, Bubble, etc..

[Issy42]

Please don't be offended if you're not named, you're still welcome, I just have a rubbish memory. I can see a couple of you on November thread but there's a whole load of people not there. Just wondering if you wanted a little thread to keep in touch?

Headfairy - just replied to you on grapefruit thread. So sorry about your sad news. Was hoping a new thread might provide you with support from old friends.

And Sunnydale, I know you're wary of new threads, so though you might also like the company of old friends.

Wishing and Bubble having your weird long cycles and missing whole month's threads, thought this might be one for you too.

So what do you say? I'll start a list just in case:

Issy, ttc#1, cycle 14, ucl 28ish, cd 23/10dpo, mc Mar08, cp Sep08, IVF in April.

Headfairy - conjunctivitus is horrid - I have suffered with it in the past. Working from home sounds sensible to me!

Bubble - Have a lovely and naughty weekend

Well, like an idiot I tested this morning as still not got AF and got a BFN. Duh. I just wish AF would get a move on now.

Wasab when is af due? do you have any symptoms? could you be too early and a bfp b just round the corner?

Well I thought it was due yesterday based on the fact that last month I had a 12 day luteal phase - admittedly I don't know when I ov's last month as it was the post mc cycle and OPK's don't really work properly. I guessed based on ov pain and my night wakings from being too hot. So I'm not really late enough to test and know I was being silly but I woke last night boiling hot and have felt really full and bloaty the last 24 hours so thought just maybe I might have some hope.

But it must just have been PMT. I think my cycles must still be screwed up from my mc. This is my 1st full cycle after all.

What tests are you using? perhaps you ovd later and could still be pg. Im the same i always end up testing a few days early then everyday til af shows up . Do you chart your temp?

my last af was the first after my mc too. for some reason it was a short cycle. Only 26 days normally im a 30 day girl. Fingers crossed for you wasab. dont give up hope just yet.

Hi Bubble - it did occur that I might have ov'd later. I tried temping this month because I figured my cycle might be funny but gave up because after I thought I had ov'd my temp went down rather than up despite the fact I was doing the usual night waking because I was overheated. So wierd. I assumed I had been doing it wrong and just abandoned it.

I did use a cheapie internet test but it was meant to be a 10miu one. If only I had a short cycle I could at least be looking forwards now - currently on CD31 and counting.

Thanks for your optimism!

Hi wasabi i think your cycle is still settling down after the MC and its probably hard to predict when you ov'd etc. I would continue with the temping next month as it does make things a lot clearer. I wouldn't give up hope though, its not over until the fat witch visits!!

Well what a difference a day makes!

I'll recap. On Thursday morning I posted saying that I'd had a BFN. However, when I looked a little while later there was a definite second line. Hmm I thought. Evaporation line?

Did another test yesterday morning (same type, freebie one with the OPKs) and again, a second line appeared. Much fainter than the main line but definitely there. You didn't have to tilt to the light or anything. DH was unconvinced (basically didn't want us to get our hopes up!). Fast forward to last night. Bought a CB digital indicator thingy.

BFP!!

Am in shock. But cannot get too excited after last year's MC. But it's a year since that happened so I can't tell you how excited and happy I am to have a BFP and a chance. I beg you all to keep your fingers crossed, pray whatever that this is a sticky bean.

Anyway, I'm going to have a fantastic weekend. Hope you all do too.

x

Rip thats brilliant news!!!! im so pleased for you. congratulations.. lots of sticky thoughts coming your way xxxxxxx

oh Rip thats fantastic news!! wayhey!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! you must be so pleased, has it sunk in yet?!?!
The BFP are guna come rolling in now i can feel it in me waters!!

im being soooo lazy today came home from work early yesterday as manager had me doing a different job involving lifiting and stretching up! i was so upset and got so annoyed so he said i couldnt do anything else so i might as well go home, ive been a bit fed up since! Thought maybe i was overreacting but everytime i stretched i got a pulling feeling and a pin in my tummy so i didnt want to push it! EPAU unit said best to rest today so i didnt go back in today, DH rang work from me and was fuming!!

How has everyone elses weekend being? Sun all round i hope! xxxx

COngrats again RIP

Hi there, just a quickie from me cos I still can't see properly. My eye totally swelled up over the weekend, the actual eyeball was all puffed up with fluid and it's really distorting my vision. I've been signed off work for a couple of days as being able to see is a requisite for editing

Just wanted to say congratulations to RIP, that's great news, much stickyness and happiness to you

Oh wow congratulations Rip!!

That's such great news. I am hoping I have joined a lucky thread! Hope everyone has had a great weekend.

Oh guys - thanks so much.

This has been me all weekend - - except then I start thinking that I can't get too excited. Grr.

But mostly i've been .

I hope there are loads more BFPs on here. And that this one sticks.

Thanks again - you've all been so lovely.

Just popping on quickly- so much to catch up with- wish I had the internet at home!!

Rip CONGRATS!!! Really hoping this is a sticky lil bean

Wishing sorry your scan couldn't see that much yet but it still sounds v positive, just different dates to what you'd expect. I really hope the next 3 weeks flies until your next scan- keep growing lil bean!

Wasabi hello Hope you are feeling ok after everything- big un-mn-like hugs to you

Still no AF here, on CD26 which isn't that far on for most but AF appeared CD25 last cycle, with spotting from CD21. No spotting at all yet...so a tiny part of me is try desperately not to get excited. I will test on Tues if AF doesn't get me first. Keep feeling like she's on her way, it's just so confusing. Decided to wear white knickers just to tempt her!!

Hope you have all had a good weekend

Congrats Rip Sooo happy for you and sending the stickiest of sticky thoughts!!

Just back after being away all weekend (breaking in the new Volvo ). Poor you Head and your gunky eye - hope the anti-biotics are working by now (did have a wee chuckle at your Mad-eyed moody reference) Great to hear your being checked out too with the bloods etc. full MOT! I was offered tests after my 2nd mc but long story short I declined as the consultant just thought it was 'bad luck' and I personally think it was 'ageing eggs' - just hope there's a few sporty ones left in there .

Talking of which I'm rolling around in baby dust as its fertile week here in the blue household and as I've mentioned DH and me are off work all week - somebody stop me!

Well I'm off to catch up on sky + toodle pip x

x-posts jumping - loving the white knickers = tempting AF - fingers crossed for you!

Morning girls!

Head poor you! i hope your eye gets better soon.

Jumping fingers crossed that af stays away

Blue enjoy your fertile wk

Its my birthday today 27 going to spend it sat in the garden (if it stays sunny) while dh runs around after the kids

its also the end of my fertile window so im now in the 2ww. i wonder if i got the xmas baby i was so worried about

Morning all!
Congratulations rip lots of sticky thoughts coming over!
wishing your work sound utterly rubbish, well done for not putting up with it, your bean is far more important than some poxy job!
Jumping fingers crossed AF stays away and we get another BFP.
Bubble Happy Birthday, have a fab day being looked after, luck you!
Head hope the eye is feeling better... that doesn't souund like much fun
blue glad the volvo was all you hoped it would be, and that you had a great weekend... sending you some baby dust for your fertile week!
Izzy hope everything is going well for you? any more walks of shame?
Hello everyone else I missed!!

Happy birthday Bubble ! Hoping it stays nice where you are and that you get a BFP as a belated pressie!

Bluesatin - you sound like you're having a very nice time! Enjoy

Head - how is your eye today?

jellyfish - sounding good for you. Lol at white knickers for "sods law" sort of logic.

Well my AF finally showed up this morning which I am quite relieved about actualy - thought I was going to be stuck in spotting hell forever. Been quite painful actually - more than it used to be but I guess that is related to post mc stuff too.

Have just eaten a LOT of biscuits since ds went for his nap.

Hi everyone. Blimey it takes a day to load the bloomin pagem so annoying! I did a huge post on fri but lost it so will stay brief.

Currently in the doldrums that is the start of the 2ww. Dp reckons he's done what it takes but we shall see!

Congrats Rip are you getting scanned. Hi to everyone. Too tricky to post to everyone on this thing so will sign off. Missing you all tho. Feel like my mum came to pick me up from the party too soon!

wasabi sorry the witch got you.

Hi sif haven't you managed to get them to reinstate MN yet!?!

Thanks everyone ive had a lovely day.

Wasabi sorry about af. she is a cow.

Sif when is your af due?? are we cycle buddies? mine is due anytime between the 10 and 13 april.

hi girl how are you?

Hi guys and Happy Birthday bubble - 27 - jeeez your just a bairn Hope you were royally spoilt today! I'm going to try and put my knowledge of 80's pop music to the test here to see what was no. 1 when you were born.... let's see 1982, late March... I was in primary 6 I think Adam and the Ants or Bucks Fizz were number one? Damn it! it was "Seven Tears" by the Goombay Dance Band BUT Bucks Fizz took over on 17 April so I wasn't far out .

wasabi - sorry TEW got you but looks like your cycle is getting back to normal. My first couple of AF after (both )mc were v. heavy, lots of hormonal clearing out me thinks.

Hey sif - we need a campaign to reinstate your mn at work! We miss you!!!! Good luck on the 2ww and you too bubble. Head - I hope your gammy eye is healing.

Hey girl what's new with you?

Izzy - how are you doing on your IVF countdown?

DH, DS, my Mum and me went to Glasgow today to get my Mum's b'day present but she ended up buying mine instead and it isn't until May! Got me a lovely pair of 'fit flops' which are supposed to tone you legs and bum we will see!

Good morning ladies.

Bubble glad you had a wonderful b'day- wishing you a belated b'day from here!

Head how is your eye now? Sounds really awful. Hope you can manage to kind of enjoy your couple of days signed off work, if that's possible!

wasabi sorry AF got you, but hope your next cycle will be lucky xx

Wellllll, I still had no AF today, not even a spot, which officially makes me "late" (very lucky to have shortish cycles), so did a Tesco test this morning...and to my great shock it's BFP!!!
Obviously the moral of the story is to get hormone/thyroid etc. bloods done and start investigations for squiffy cycles = pregnant!

I am torn between great excitement and great aanxiety. As our DD has cystic fibrosis any child we have has a 1 in 4 chance of also having CF, so we're having a CVS test done at 11 weeks to find out- so now it's a waiting game for that and the consequences But we have been through all the genetic counselling so we did know this is how it would have to be before we started TTTC. And I guess anyhow it's always hard going for the first 12 weeks for everyone. So now the 2ww is the 8ww!

I won't be joining any antenatal threads, mainly because of the CVS etc., so if you guys don't mind can I still hang around here?

Hope it's sunny where you all are

Hey jumping congratulations!!!!! That's great news!!!! I hope the cvs goes well and you get a good result. Perhaps some of your good luck will rub off on me, as I'm having all my bloods done next week. Not sure about this month though, dh is on a stag do for cd12 and 13, I expect him to be really hung over on cd14 and his little swimmers will be pickled in alcohol by then too.

The eye is slowly healing, I'm still very blurred in one eye, so it makes my vision very odd. I had to come in to work today as they were really short handed, but I'm doing a short day, just the 8 hours instead of 12 hours, staring at a screen!

Happy birthday for yesterday bubble... I hope you had a good one. You are indeed a bairn, but I can outdo Blue as I was at secondary school when you were born, I was half way through my first year though, still only an 11 year old in bunches and white knee high socks

Hope you're enjoying the new volvo and your week off blue. I'm quite

Sorry I can't post much more, squinting at the screen gives me a pretty bad headache, and I've got to save my eyes for work, although it's pretty quiet here this morning, thank God the G20 doesn't start until tomorrow. My eyeballs will be bleeding by the end of the day tomorrow

TTFN xx

Hi everyone _ well they're flying in now aren't they! Very exciting. Congrats jelly - fingers all crossed for you and your 8 week wait x

bubble I'm a day or two ahead of you I think but pretty much a cycle buddy ,yes!

I am way too embarrassed to ask for access to the site again. Can't think of any good reason that isn't a bit cringe inducing frankly...when I think of the google searches I have done as wellm eek.
head poor you with yukky eye. I wouldn't worry about dh pickled sperm tho, already made by then innit! Frustrating tho I know when ohs are awol on the special days!
Hi girl and issy and rip and wishing - hope you are all well and happy x x
