For all of us who have shared so much, tears, hopes, laughter and dreams. May our friendships stay strong and as healthy as we all our.
Here is to our happy ending...we deserve it
Love Barbie x

Good morning, I hope you all had great Saturday evenings. We had a pizza, dorito and DVD night, except I fell asleep during the DVD, it was a nice evening though.
Well the sickness is finally leaving me, and the bump is starting to show, but I haven't felt the baby yet, at least I don't think I have, I can't tell if it's baby tickles or wind down there, probably the latter
So who's on the 2ww or even the 1ww?

I'm kind of waiting as just started the bd literally yesterday after mc 11 days ago. Very soon I know but I'm desperate to try again!

MLS I did the same last night BD 11 days post ERPC. Yes a bit soon but it kind of just happened, better than planning it too much I think. Was a bit emotional afterwards but I think DH is used to that after the last few weeks!
So I guess I made it onto this thread . I'm off to look on EBAY for ovulation testing kits. Can anyone recommend a brand or seller on EBAY?

it sure is hot here today

vjay your post make me smile, it proves that there is hope !

Im going mad, my af has gone already for sure but i have two huge spots on my chin, they are so sore...i never get spots!

mm are you still in bed my lovely??? how was last night, i hope you had dh had a lovely time together

mollie are you enjoying your week off? any plans?

mummylovessadie thats good that you had a positive on the stick thingys, i hope you madde the most of it

Hi gracie I got some opk's from babymad.com, they were really cheap but worked for me and very quick delivery too.

barbie I'm glad I made you smile It sounds to me like your hormones are kicking in, so keep taking that primrose oil.

Good luck to all you babydancers

First of all thanks for the lovely comments following my appt, I did feel a little low and disappointed hence my absence, but much more positive now.
Barbie What is it with your AF? So bizarre! Has the info your waiting for come through yet so you can book an appt with GP? LMAO at your interview, just have such wonderful visions of your knees on show! Good luck for the next interview. Not much planned for my week off, I've applied for promotion at work externally and internally and have got through to the next stage externally, have to take a literacy and numeracy test tomorrow, the example looked bloody hard, will be v embarrassing if I fail Haircut Tuesday and not much else planned the rest of the week, but will probably be on here and FB lots so be warned
MM Gutted you are in limbo like us, it would be so good to get a tiny fixable thing wrong to give us the confidence for another go
4ever it's a bit late now, but I'm glad you acknowledged your anniversary, it is important and unfortunately it seems to stay in our heads without much effort. Hope you are doing OK?
Hello and welcome to Doozerhead Zen & MummylovesSadie Graciegirl Get some pre-seed too, a friend of mine has just got pg first timne of trying with pre-seed, I've ordered mine!
Vjay Glad to hear the sickness has subsided now, you will have to post bump pics soon!

OK so this is it first month of officially being back on the wagon! Should be OVing in next couple of days so pre-seed and OPK's at the ready, DH is on standby and we're trying the Deanna Plan (BD every other day from CD8) so will be on 2WW soon and will need lots of hands to hold!

Thanks for your advice Scorpio Vjay and MM. I've bought my ovulation kits and some pregnancy testing kits just in case .
So when am I supposed to start using the ovulation tests? I've no idea where I am in my cycle or when my cycle might start again. I was 11 weeks pregnant and my ERPC was 12 days ago. My guess is that I've bought 50 tests so just use one every day till I get an AF, then stick to rough ovulating times after that. Also my pregnancy test was still positive a few days ago, I imagine that complicates things a bit.

GG my mc was 11 days ago & I just had a bpf on opk so I'd start testing now. I'd also do another hpt now as I did mine yesterday & it has just gone to negative.

I tried pre-seed last night for the first time (bought from good old Ebay!)..... its very runny!

I'm very excited about starting again but I have a scan on Thursday to check that everything from the mc has gone. What if a new little bean has started to grow & they say I need an ERPC? Surely if there was anything left inside me I'd have some sort of pain or would be passing clots?

Hey All,

Not been on for ages, its been a mad week at work and I'm just knackered come evening so chilling on couch wins over mn!

Welcome everyone over from 'other side' baby dust and hand holding all round...

MM - hope you and your DH had a lovely night last night - is that a wee hangover I see?... I'm out in Glasgow next Sat with girlies, just want to kick up my heels a bit..

Mollie - great to hear from you and (whipsers) yay! for being back in the saddle. Enjoy your week off and your new hair do!

Vjay - lovely to hear your bump's starting to show and your sickness is subsiding

barbie - loved that mental image of you and your legs turning up at interview in a sheer blouse no less - oh la la. Good luck for tomorrow and really hope your AF sorts herself out... As for your spots - toothpaste - works every time x

4ever - was thinking of you on Wed x

MLS I would bring up your +ve from OPK and the fact you're bd at your scan appointment and see what they say. If you had a natural mc there may be residual 'product' left to come away but I doubt there is any if you had an ERPC (going on my experiences anyway...)

AF due today and she is on her way as I have all my usual symptoms (crabbit as hell and face like thunder) - DH is tiptoeing around me ). Relieved actually as I didn't 'miss' a cycle out but still get to enjoy my 3 girlie 'bring on the white wine' nights out arranged for March.

Later ladies x

Barbie hope all goes well with your job interview tomorrow, keep us posted!

Hello ladies,

Sorry I've not been on earlier but been catching up on lots around the house and garden today. Had a lovely time with DH last night and amazingly not hungover...........although more from luck than abstinence.

Sorry I don't have time to speak to everyone but wanted to check in and wish barbie luck for tomorrow. Back at work tomorrow but will try and catch up with everyone then if I get the chance.............shows how busy I am at work these days.

Big waves to blue, mollie, vjay, 4ever, sabs, curly, lionstar, jools and everyone who has joined but I haven't spoke to properly yet, something I will hopefully rectify in the very near future. Speak soon xxx

Just checking in quickly as this had dropped off "threads I'm on"

v v busy at work and trying not to think too much about TTC so have tried to limit MN time for the sake of my sanity and I think my mood is better for getting on with stuff rather than sitting in front of the computer for too long, brooding on life - still thinking of you all though.

Ordered a pricey new mattress for our bed at the weekend as our 11 year old one feels like I am clinging on to one side of a slope, so looking forward to "christening" it when it arrives on Friday - potentially my most fertile day

Started the Cambridge diet in full today, after a week of gradually phasing out proper food. My counsellor lost a stone in the first 2 weeks, so I'm hoping for a similar level of success. I have 3 weeks before any potential PG test date, so will just go for it and stick strictly to the diet for that long and hopefully start a pregnancy at a healthier weight.

I've kind of lost all real desire to BD at the moment and I'm sure that it is the weight increase post MC, as last time I lost weight, my libido increased dramatically

re OPK's - I've read lots that say they are very very unreliable in the first few weeks after a miscarriage, so treat any positive lines on them with a degree of scepticism.

Happy Monday to everyone and good luck to Barbie Am off to write a presentation but will be back later

well thanks for all my interview good lucks! i have to go back again tomorrow they sure are giving me the run around! There more they are making me do the more determined i am to get the bloody job just so i dont feel like i have wasted my time!

mollie good luck with your promotion hun, its hard work all this job stuff isnt it i need my hair done too, cant seem to find a salon i would trust enough to cut my hair yet though or one that wont charge over 150 to colour it

jools im glad you found your way back here, this thread does seem so much less stressful, ie you can leave and come back as you wish and not feel guilty about letting people down! i like that......good luck with the diet!

mm no hangover? im proud, must be a true scot

blue hope your af comes but the pmt stays away, poor hubby!

Hello to everyone else, im off to find yet another interview outfit fr tomorrow grrrrrrrr i could do without it!

Hey barbie sounds like you're getting the run around with this job, I do hope you get it.
Hope everyone else is ok, and nobody has the Monday blues.....just remember it's pancake day tomorrow

Phew, found you all! Have been so busy in RL and no access to computer as dh revising for exams. No time to talk as am at work (evening class to teach) but will try to catch up tomorrow. Hope all ok, am counting down this week- af due sunday.

i got ittttttttttttttttttttt!

After another interview this morning (while you were all in bed!) i got offered the job, better money than i thought it would be, 6 days a week though but its tax free and i get bonus etc and a flight home, so its not all bad. I have to wait for 4 weeks to start training etc etc so in the mean time if anything else comes up from the cv's i have already sent ill go along and see if there is anything better...
Oh and a get £1000 of free makeup! heaven

Forgot it was pancake day today, what do you need to make them again i think i might walk to the shop and surpise dh when he gets back

gingermumi glad you found us, what is it that you teach?

moll i hope your interview went well too x

Wow barbie, thats fab! sounds like a long week though. Congrats.

I teach English at a college, what do you do? Sounds like it's quite exciting what ever it is!

Mollie how did it go?

hi ginger its not that exciting...im going to be store manager for M.A.C cosmetics, the good thing is that my store is the biggest in the u.a.e and therefore we get to do the dubai film festival...(uae version of the oscars!) a few tv shows and other exciting things...there is also dubai fashion week and we do the makeup for the catwalk shows.
I was a beauty therapist before but the money over here isnt as good as retail...so thats it really.

Wow, well done Barbie

Barbie Congratulations my lovely!!! Welcome back to the world of slavery What is the job exactly? Is it something nice and exotic Can't believe how much they want to rob charge you for your hair
MLS I too used pre-seed for the first time last night, not sure about that squidgy feeling But if it does the trick
Blue I like the sound of your girlie nights out in March, what a shame we're not closer I'd have joined in
MM Glad to hear you are distracting yourself with RL, any more news from work?
Jools I am sure that must be a sign, your, mattress arriving on your most fertile day, get at it girl
Vjay Thanks for the reminder about pancake day I'd completely forgotten! Yum
Ginger I had wondered where you had got too! Good luck on your 2WW

Well I passed the literacy and numeracy test, really surprised at how many didn't! Interview next on Friday 13th (fortunately it's lucky in our family) I applied internally and externally and should hear this week if I've got through the sift internally, let's hope I have 2 interviews to panic about

Mollie congrats on passing tests, what are you going for? Those kind of skills tests are what our students do when they start courses.

Sounds like a pretty wow job Barbie...'not that exciting really'... for goodness sake it's amazing and in an amazing place!

got stuff for planckaes yesterday, so will burn cook some later! Yummy but no good for the waisteline!

BTW whats pre-seed?

pancakes
