emmsy's onwards and upwards part 2, more good new please!

[barbie1]

Right here we go again!

So far we have been lucky on this thread so lets stick together for all you oldies! until we all get our precious babies.

Here's to the next chapter in our special journey, onwards and upwards

Neeko I'm as confused as you are. I guess some extra BD'ing can't hurt. When are you expecting your AF?

Jools is right, pregnancy hormones do mess with results of opks. I think some extra BD'ing just in case, then try to stay calm and sane for the next week before doing a pregnancy test, easily said than done, I know!

Thanks girls. It serves me right or being too addicted to peeing on sticks! Had planned to test a week tomorrow (14 DPO) so I guess I'll just have to wait until ten - and now you'll all have to wait with me!
How's the headache now Jools?

Headache pretty much went in the early hours I think, but is still hovering and may come back I think, so am going to try and have lots of breaks from the PC

Nausea still coming and going though

Ok I'm ordering you to go and rest. Even sticky beans need TLC! You can catch up here later.

By the way my earlier message shoul have said then not ten. Going to really try to curb my addiction for a week!

morning I'm just sneaking in cos I really really have to get some work done - to add even more confusion in if you were to use the lunar calendar you would apparantly have two fertile times in the month - obviously I am going too far down the alternative spectrum and will soon be wearing sandals all year round and actually using the very old bag of lentils in my cupboard
jools you did a lot yesterday, take it easy and that goes for all you clever bfp ladies.
mollie a day at a time you poor worried lady.
neeko I will keep my fingers crossed.
right I'm off cant hide from my emails any longer. I'm going in.

Morning girls!

Hope you're not feeling too rough Jools? All good signs tho! Your sofa is calling you!

Neeko Im confused too re your OPK? Have you tried using barbies guide?! Only joking! After my stress about OV, this morning I was reminded by the sharp pain in my ovary & bloating, that I suffer from really bad OV pain & thats how I know I am! Hopefully looks like im back to 28 days too!

Gracie I must confess I havent been on MC thread for ages, was finding it a bit hard reliving it through poor other girls. Much credit to barbie and the other couple of girls (sorry cant remember now) who came up with idea to move on! We are like mentors tho, maybe we should do shifts to offer some help & support still!

Kate im up for your vitual hen! I'll organise the silly hats/t-shirts/boas etc!

Right - >> to all you other beauties! I must WORK! xxxxxxxxx

hi all - sorry I couldn't post last night, I have a friend staying with me at the moment.(that's not a euphamism for AF!)

Anyway, I have had a chance to catch up this morning.

Bakingqueen - Hope you are feeling better today - you could always tell dh that he needs to keep his strength up for next months bd'ing if af makes an unwelcome appearance this month.

Joolsiam - Hope you are also feeling better and the headache has gone.

Anniecam - You must be relieved to be getting the symptoms even if they are making you feel rough

Littlebellsmum - Hurrah to cycle buddies I'm cd2 today, how about you and what is your strategy for this month?

mermaidspurse - was that your first acupuncture session and does it hurt?

Kate - sorry to hear about the bfn - chocolate is the only way forward - fingers crossed that af doesn't arrive on your wedding day.

4everhopeful - Glad you have an appt sorted - it must be a relief to know what's been causing the mc's and hopefully now it can be sorted out.

hello to bluesatinsash,barbie,neeko,monkeybumsmum,sabsbigpants,
vjay,gracie girl and anyone else i have forgotten.

well i'm on cd2 so not much to report except that af seems worse than before the mc -more painful and heavier - is this normal do you think?

Bit of background - I'm 31, live near Bristol and have one ds who will be 2 in july

ps - that post took me forever to write so sorry if im a bit behind!

Ok glad I've managed to cause so much confusion. I guess my DH is getting lucky tonight and all weekend Hope you all have a good day ad I promise to do no more testing.

List updated for today

aaahhh - a friend of mine has just sent me pics of her 8.5 month old DD I last saw her when she was 2 months old and had just got my BFP - we were at a wedding and I cuddled her and my boobs started tingling

Little girlie looks huge now but so, so adorable with a huge smile and beautiful eyes - my broodiness has just kicked up several notches It felt good to tell her my news - the first person I've told in real life, other than DP

Hi neeko just for you I have just peed on an opk and the line came back very dark and I know I'm not about to ovulate in the next 24-36 hours , so are you pg??????

Jools well done for telling someone in real life about your news.

Vjay - just looked at your list - I'm on CD 14 - aaarrrggghhh the pressure!! I'd better go and shave my legs ready for tomorrow when DH gets back!!

Jes gg you'd better get yourself ready, and good luck

I don't KNOOOOOW! The next week is going to be the longest of my life. I really should have waited for AF before TTC!!! Thanks for the experimenting on my behalf though -were you feeling nostalgic for peeing on sticks?
Jools Well done, brave lady!

Happy shaving Gracie although I'm sure he's missed you so much that he wouldn't notice your hairy legs.

oooh - getting excited for Neeko

I am losing track I'm afraid - you say you haven't had AF yet ? Have you been doing weekly PG tests so you don't confuse a new PG with an old one ???? Don't want to bring things down, but it would be awful to build up hopes and it be that

I was still getting an incredibly faint positive 6.5 weeks after my MC

fingers tightly crossed for you

oh I was neeko I knew I had some left over somewhere so I went for a rummage and found them, I than had to wait for a wee, which didn't take too long, then I peed away and got a result for you xxx You do have to be so mad to be on here

Hi Jools Thanks for concern but it's been more than 3 weeks since I had a +ive hpt so I know it's definitely not that. Had -ive OPKs too and had decided to wait for AF but EWCM made me test last week and got a +ive OPK. BDed like mad and then had fizzy nipples etc, etc, etc. It's just because I have no idea where I am on my cycle. I'm not usually this neurotic honestly!

neeko it just does your head in the not knowing what the heck is going on with your body doesn't it. After my 2nd mc I did all the temping and opk's to help me work it out, I think it helped take my mind off things more though xx

Morning ladies, im off work today so at least i,ll have chance to keep up on news

BakingQueen-hope the Lemsip worked and you're not feeling too ill today.
Blue-ive gone from a DD to an E in only 3 weeks, hope they dont grow at that rate for the following weeks, i,ll need scaffolding to keep them up
Gracie=Make sure you try and get some sleep in so you can fit a bit of BD in, i find 'spoons' nice if you feel like a bit of sleepy type bd.
Neeko-Hmm, symptoms sound interesting, when i was pg with DS, id gone on a night out before i knew i was pg, id only had 3 glasses of wine (drop in the ocean for me!) but felt so hungover next day, i got BFP 3 days later. Ive browsed peeonastick.com before and it says there you can use ov sticks to detect hcg, it says line will be much darker than control line, sorry i cant do link to the site, im not clever with things like that. Did you definately ov 6 days ago? Any chance could have been sooner than that?
jools-Glad the headache as gone, ive been getting 2 or 3 a week, pain in the bum. At least you are working from home and can go and lie down if you feel rough.
Vjay- at you doing your own experimenting for neeko.

Good morning to mermaid 4ever Baby and all you other lovely ladies.

Morning all!

Neeko Gosh, it does sound very confusing , but I really hope that you are pg! Did you do any bd'ing before last week?

Baby Is this your first AF since your mc? I've heard that sometimes the AF immediately after having a mc can be heavy and painful. Maybe it's your body trying to get itself sorted out Hope you're okay.

Jools Your headache sounds like it was a bad one, poor you. Glad to hear it's better though. Are you drinking enough? Was it you who said that you put your BFP down to drinking more? I read that and have been trying to increase uptake since then

Can't be long as gardener about to come round to talk about a path, and it's raining so must go and wrap up... I do have a question for you all though - think am in the middle of my cycle at the mo, but not sure due to CP last month. Have noticed a bit of spotting today -don't normally get it so am bit worried. Has anyone else had this around time of OV? Idea's on a postcard please

Hi to all xxx

ps anniecam thanks re ds He turned two in Feb, but is a tall boy for his age. Your little one is three is he? Like Blue I love that name too! Is gorgeous!

Hello lovely ladies! I've been lurking & reading every day but tbh have been totally wiped out & too tired to try & keep up what is being said by who! I don't know if its Easter catching up with me or what but this last couple of days I've barely been able to keep my eyes open, I've been going to bed at 9.30 & even had a sleep when dd had her nap yesterday.

Neeko an opk does detect the same hormone as a hpt, some people even use opk's instead of hpt's. Once you have had a positive opk you can continue to get a positive result for up to 5 days afterwards. However when you get your first positive STOP TESTING!!!! It will fk with your head otherwise! I'm with GG & think you should bd just in case.

Jools one of my pg symptoms I had with both pg's was chronic headaches in the first few weeks. I don't usually suffer from them but these ones were so debilitating all I could do was lie down & sleep until they went away. I used to use Neurofen cool head strips which helped.

Monkey since having dd I always get several days of spotting from around day 20, even when I was pg in Jan I had that.

Bakingqueen are you feeling any better today?

GG good luck for tomorrow. Are you going to greet dh at the door in a neglegee with a pair of those black high-heeled fluffy slippers?!

Babyinacorner acupuncture doesn't hurt at all, in fact its so relaxing I fell half asleep & had a weird out of body experience & thought I was in a hole in the ground & could see lots of long grass & flowers blowing in the breeze! If I get a bfn this month I'm going back for more.

Big waves to everyone else I've not mentioned, sorry I'm not on the ball today. I'm off to find some match-sticks for my eyes!
