Hi ladies, what a beautiful day, well it is in Berkshire....

Jools I have everything crossed for you, sounds like you are getting good treatment.

I have still not tested, have feeling AF will be here tomorrow as expected, temp dropped a bit today so I guess that is not a great sign

On positive side had fab day out in the sunshine with DD

kittycatcat · 23/04/2009 16:43

Glad you have had a lovely day pinkyblue. I am off to sit in a friends garden. Loving the sunshine! Damn witch, hope she doesnt get you!

yellowflowers · 23/04/2009 17:52

sounds okay kitty - I hate bosses though. How do you have to show improvements?

I often work in Soho too ladies but I think I might stay just a computer presence - I think I am only comfortable talking about my secretions etc because you don't know me and I don't know you. Though I am sure you are all as lovely in real life as you are in person.

LovelyMonster · 23/04/2009 19:34

Hi everyone,

Jools - what a fab gp you have. my thoughts are with you and sending lots of positive vibes your way. good luck for tomorrow im sure everything will be fine.

af returned for me about 6 weeks post mc however i continued to have light bleeding for 9 weeks. was also having pos pg tests too which nearly drove me insane! good news that you are not cindy.

Yes another lovely day. I live and work in SW. (from nz jools, not living there...at the moment...).

hope everyone has had a nice day..

funtimewincies · 23/04/2009 19:43

Jools - keeping everything hopeful for you for tomorrow.

jardins · 23/04/2009 20:10

Night, night Jools. I'm sending you loads of positive vibes from across the Channel. Keep us posted tomorrow.

kittycatcat · 24/04/2009 08:45

thinking of you today Jools!

I know what you mean yellow i find it difficult in real life. One of my real life friends is trying and we use MN speak! hehe.
Boss wants me to speed up, i am progressing, but not as fast as they would like. And i listen, note but dont always action, she says i am over complicating things which is probably true tbh. The course in May will help me become organised and learn systems and processes. It's frustrating becasue ordinarily i am one of the most organised people i know. But i know do 2 and a half jobs and i cant find a balance. I am on reception in the morning, and i go to another desk in the afternoons where i put my Office manager hat on, with a bit of admin thrown in!

How is everyone today. Nice to see the sun still shining.

C1NDY · 24/04/2009 08:57

Hi Kittycat Its a lovely day be-coz its Friday!! yippppppppppeeeee! can't wait for the weekend to roll on by. Have a meeting at 10 then I can enjoy the day

I guess, the reason we are all here is to get advice and talk about our most inner thoughts... so I guess we will stay only on the computer. But it is intriging to know that most of you are close .

Pinkyblue123 · 24/04/2009 10:04

Hi ladies, yes it is another lovely day.

AF arrived as expected today

Oh well just need to get back on with it.

Fingers crossed for Jools I guess she will be having her scan about now.

kittycatcat · 24/04/2009 10:07

Sorry Pinky

Yes i hope she is ok.

wasabipeanut · 24/04/2009 10:13

Jools thinking of you lovely.

P1nky sorry to read that. At least the sun is shining!

I know what you guys mean about wanting to remain virtual rather than real! We have shared a LOT of information. I just find it amusing to think that we were all tapping away and chatting within half a mile of eachother

Now I am in self imposed freelance exile in Reading!

Well it appears that my hopes were a false alarm. Last night I felt hideously bloated and "draggy" down there and this morning my temp has dropped again. It seems AF is on her evil way.

Tits is all I can say to that quite frankly.

wasabipeanut · 24/04/2009 10:15

BTW Kitty if you are in Floral St and you fancy a change from Wings try Kastner & Ovens for lunch just down the road from you. You should be able to identify it from the queue out the door.

Too expensive for regular use in my opinion but my god its good. I used to get the Thai Green curry and a slice of one of their sumptuous cakes or tray bakes for dessert.

Pinkyblue123 · 24/04/2009 10:30

Sorry to hear that Wasabi It is so funny that we are near in real life (I am just down the road from you it seems), but best to stay virtual...bearing in mind the info we share. lol

kittycatcat · 24/04/2009 10:31

Bum re AF Wasabi....grrr. You wont believe this, i am right next door to Kaster and Ovens! hehe. We get our lunch paid for in there and with Wings! Small world eh.... i had a piece of bakewell tart in there yest to treat myself. lol.

iggypiggy · 24/04/2009 11:38

Hello all!

pinky arse that AF got you

wasabi Tits is good word... I plan to use that for the rest of the day - but also arse re: AF on way - but fingers crossed she doesn't come!

Kitty & wasabi - please stop with your talk of nice places for lunch we have a choice of sainburys, iceland or local cafe... My favourite place for lunch used to be on lambs conduit street (when I worked near there..) can't remember where I went in Cov garden - I left my job there in 2003....

Jools hope you are ok & scan is ok. xx

I have no news... boringly!

yellowflowers · 24/04/2009 11:42

you get your lunch paid for kitty? Wow - good job!

Sorry AF here pinky

Joolsiam · 24/04/2009 11:47

Ok, so now I am the first person to graduate from a GFJ thread twice AND return to (hopefully) graduate a 3rd time

Complete MC, so I'm guessing CD2 for me now. Hopefully such an early one won't screw up my cycle - will be "trying" on hols next week.

Don't feel too bad considering - relieved it was an early MC, glad the pain has stopped and feel ready to try again asap.

Oh Jules i am so sorry [BIG HUGS] you sound very positive....
Where are you going on holiday? Sorry if you mentioned already.

iggypiggy · 24/04/2009 11:54

Jool am so sorry to read this - would support the getting v. drunk idea - was what I did

Is good you looking at it in a positive way - but I also know how horrible it is - so look after yourself. (large glass of Oyster bay?) xx

Pinkyblue123 · 24/04/2009 12:43

wasabipeanut · 24/04/2009 13:01

Oh Jools I am sorry. It's just so shit. I'm sorry I didn't express that in a slightly more eloquent maner but I think that says it all really.

Fair do's on the desire to get drunk. It was sure as hell what I wanted to do when I had my mc.

Where are you going on holiday?

C1NDY · 24/04/2009 13:20

Jools goush, so sorry to hear. Are you sure you are okay? you don't need to sound composed to us. Its hard I know. Tits ... Tits .. Tits!!! that is what I say. Can you start straightaway or are you going to wait for one cycle?

OP posts:
C1NDY · 24/04/2009 13:23

Pinky sorry to hear AF has arrived

Wasbi sorry your temp dipped

I went to Boots at lunchtime, why is it I spend so much money in there everytime I go!!

Weather is super here... can't wait to leave at 3pm...

C1NDY · 24/04/2009 13:24

Joolsiam · 24/04/2009 13:34

Thanks everyone This feels so different to last time - I hadn't made plans, told many people in RL at all, or really accepted the pregnancy and I think it helped. I don't even see this one as a baby because it has happened so early on - with hindsight, I suspect it didn't even implant properly. Implantation involved 2 days of lower back pain (as has the MC) - doesn't sound normal.

I think that Clearblue conception indicator thingie was right and my hormone levels just never rose properly Ironically, my sense of smell had reached bloodhound levels this morning and I could smell the cat food being served in the kitchen whilst lying in bed upstairs !!

We are actually off to the Isle of Man on Monday for 5 nights - walking, seafood, scenery etc. I had booked it to take my mind off the wait for an 8wk scan With any luck though, a bit of relaxation and post MC fertility and ....

I'm not going to wait - am assuming that yesterday was CD1 and also assuming that my cycle will pop back into place fairly rapidly.

Am booking a GP appt today for when I get back - to get referred to the recurrent mc clinic. She did say that you are normally asked not to TTC until they've done their investigations, but I don't feel like I want to wait, only to find the waiting list is a mile long.

Popping out later to get some PG tests and see when I get back to BFN ....
