Hi all.

Needing some extra support this time round as have just had a MC. We are trying again straight away. But I've a feeling it's going to take ages. Got pregnant first month trying last 2 times. I have 1 DC- 11 months.

I want some people to join this thread who are ready to hold hands and help each other through the TTC.

Good luck to all.

Will post properly when I've more time (sory in a rush for the last few days) but just seen Lee's news.

Lee I'm gutted for you. That's so shit. It's just so unfair and sad. Sending you loads of love sweetie.

tigerbear - I've read your posts really quickly so apologies if I've missed something. But I'd be tempted (naughty I know given you've seen your GP) to contact your nearest EPAU over the phone and pretend I hadn't seen my doctor and ask them for advice. Fingers crossed for you.

tigerbear · 03/09/2009 15:32

Thanks littleonemum and Fatlady.
I REALLY wish I hadn't done the test now. I was just saying to my Mum that if I hadn't done them, I would have just thought this was my normal period, as it's due now anyway.
But still the temptation to go and buy more tests is huge!

Cheepz · 03/09/2009 19:52

tiger it is a tough one as more tests right now would be a waste of money!! If they came up as BFP you would still be none the wiser.

Try and hang in there until next week.

Was going to seduce dh tonight but he has gone to the pub. Great.and its not like I can say but honey come home - I fancied a shag as he would wrongly assume it is because I am ovulating and that's the only reason!!

Never used to be this hard to get laid!

tigerbear · 03/09/2009 20:01

Too late Cheepz, I bought two more earlier, and did one of them! Exactly the same result as yesterday of course!!! I'm looking for magical answers from the test stick!

that your DH is out - can't you send him an, ahem, racy text?

Cheepz · 03/09/2009 20:30

i had thought of 'sexting' which i heard about on the radio last month, seems like it might be an option - unless he left his phone on the table and a firend pics it up ....

MrsRigby · 03/09/2009 20:30

Evening.

tigerbear stop beating yourself up. I know I'm not pregnant and yet I still waste money on Clearblue pregnancy tests (with conception indicator). I mean seriously, what is going through my head. If I was in your position I'd probably be doing a test every hour on the hour .

tigerbear · 03/09/2009 20:36

These tests are evil! They're just there to tempt us!!

MrsRigby · 03/09/2009 21:05

That's it, I've decided I'm going to buy some shares in Clearblue.

DH is looking into it as we speak, he loves a good investment.

We already have shares in Cadbury's, sometimes I think that it's me alone keeping them in business!

applesaretheonlyfruit · 03/09/2009 22:35

Hi everyone,

I have updated stats for Thursday. I am going a bits nuts wondering where period could be post 45 after ERPC.

Meita thanks for the info on the website. It made me realise that the crazy beingpregnantstraightawayorIwoulddiefeeling was normal and that, actually, my first BFN after mmc was only, now, 27 days ago, so first period should be this weekend. Obviously, if that doesn't happen I will go off the deep end.

I have been thinking about Lee and I wish I could brush off some of the sadness for her, even just a couple of flakes. But she should know, when she lies in bed at night thinking she is alone with the loss, that actually, last night, I was thinking about her and hoping she was, not okay, because she will be, but wishing her strength.

Have been occupying myself trying to clear up my son's room and toy mess. Went slightly over the top and got clear boxes and labels and now every toy has a DESIGNATED box and place. Bit OTT, but needs must.

LittleOneMum · 04/09/2009 13:19

Any news, Tiger? Have been thinking of you a lot. It must be awful not knowing. I knew from the first day really and that kept me sane.

zayja · 04/09/2009 14:39

leewt, I just read your news and I am so sorry. Big hugs to you, and as meita said, we're here for you to moan to if needed.

Welcome littleonemum

Just looked at the list, about half are due or past due for AF - could be a potential landslide of BFPs!

thefatladyscreams · 04/09/2009 16:12

Hi everybody

Well I won't be one of the BFPs as I'm having another WTF is going on cycle (cheepz you should have trademarked that phrase!)

AF arrived Wednesday (not due til Monday) so very strange. I was always a very regular 28 day girl. meita - maybe we should do a cycle share and even each over out! My temps have been all over the place (clinically dead in places I suspect they went so low ). I don't think I ovulated yet again this month. But the Clearblue Monitor gave me 18 days of Highs in a row until I gave up testing (including when AF had arrived). DH and I were getting knackered.

Went to hairdressers to cheer myself up and hairdresser announced her pregnancy (exactly the same week as I would have been). Hence 2 hours sitting there listening to pregnancy talk. Was surprised how upset I was later. Almost burst into tears in the shopping centre but felt if I started to cry I would never stop. I guess the grief comes back and bites you on the bum at times.

Anyway sorry for the self indulgent rant. Lovely to be back here and catching up with you all. And welcome barrenbrook. zayja - yippeee re the ovulation. That's great news.

Becky - was it 4 magpies or 4 pairs of magpies? I'm thinking of that old song.... 3 for a girl, 4 for a boy. Maybe it means twin boys

lee if you're reading this, you've been in my thoughts. I hope you are as OK as you possibly can be. Just take really good care of yourself and take one day at a time. The grey will ease.

Have a good weekend everyone. We've got friends coming to stay and the house is a pigsty. Must finish work and then muster a massive clean-up/shopping mission. Then have PILs arriving on Wednesday for a month. Yikes.

tigerbear · 04/09/2009 16:38

Afternoon everyone.
Oh fatlady sorry you had to listen to pg talk when you really didn't want to. It's true that when you really want to get pg, EVERYONE else seems to be!

LittleoneMum - I'm feeling much more positive about things this afternoon, thanks. Nothing much has changed - still bleeding (but no cramps). Had an argument with DH this morning, where I pretty much accused him of not being interested / not caring what was happening. He went out last night, and I was upset he hadn't come home earlier or called me throughout the day yesterday to ask how I was. I had called him, and he had asked how my day was going, but imo not the same thing as asking 'how are you feeling', ifyswim? When he came in last night I was in bed but still awake and didn't really speak to him, and he knew this morning I was really upset. When I explained why, he said he wasn't a mind reader, and that I'd seemed fine when he went to work yesterday morning (to be fair, I was ok then, but as you ladies know, one minute you can be fine, and the next in tears). Anyway, we made up, he came home at lunch time to see how I was, and we're ok now!

How is everyone else's DH coping with it all?
It must be quite odd for them, as although they want it to happen too and are disappointed if it doesn't, it's not quite the same is it? Especially as we are all on a hormone roller coaster!

becky78 · 04/09/2009 19:09

OK, am 3 days late, I'm never late, even since mc have had two full 28 day cycles, but have no pg symptoms at all so have held off testing but cannot wait any more. But how typical, haven't had much to drink today so normally need the loo as soon as I get in the door from work but today nothing. Am drinking glasses of squash and I will test in half an hour, I will keep you informed...

MrsRigby · 04/09/2009 19:43

DH and I have just had sex .

A little early I know, but DH really wanted it - that and the fact that he wants to stuff his face with pizza and will be too tired and full later. He tells me he is a very considerate lover, he warmed the bed (I should point out that he washed the bedding and put clean on), started himself off whilst I was getting a bath so to quicken the whole process and then we had sex on his side of the bed so that I didn't have to lie in the wet patch tonight .

Unfortunately, due to his making me laugh (I forgot how funny he used to be) I had the hiccups the whole way through. Funnily enough though, 4 minutes later after he had finished, they had gone.

And then he told me a joke...and it all dribbled out .

In case your wondering.

What's brown and sticky. A stick.

Anyway.

thefatladyscreams you are not alone, I'm also having a WTF cycle .

becky78 tell, tell - are you? I've got my fingers crossed.

becky78 · 04/09/2009 20:01

OMG BFP!!! Was really not expecting it as seriously no symptoms at all and last time I knew straight away (but as DH keeps pointing out, look how that one ended up ) so maybe lack of symptoms is good. Really strong line though on a clear blue (not digital though). OMG OMG!! TFLS has freaked me out a bit with the whole magpies = twins thing though

Fingers crossed for everyone else this month.

Now I start the worrying about what might go wwrong this time bit but at least we have cleared the first hurdle!

Have a great weekend all )

MrsRigby · 04/09/2009 20:19

becky78 congratulations. I'm so happy for you .

Hopefully your BFP will be the first of many.

tigerbear · 04/09/2009 21:02

Well done becky78 that is great news!!

MrsRigby (and Mr Rigby) - you just gave me my first laugh out loud moment of the week - thanks!

Cheepz · 04/09/2009 21:36

woooooo woooo bravo becky78 thats another for the grads list. So pleased for you (only a little - not like mrsr!!)

thats brilliant news - its so good to have at least one person grad each month and this month looking at the list there could be more

mrsr look on the bright side - at least your not sleeping in the wet patch tonight! and you managed to get your dh to do the decent thing and perform - which is more than can be said for my dh at the moment - hes not home often enough for us to have a quickie before dinner - and after as you say were just too full and lazy - so far this month no bd for cheepz - i am going to have to jump hiim this weekend as its cd 12 so maybe tonight and sunday?

tigerbear i don't think dh's get it, mine didn't, they are not invested as much at this stage, haven't thought through all the things that are going to happen - its not their body that changes, its not them thinking about the pregnancy, due date, labour, maternity leave, timing for work, etc etc so they don't really understand why its such a big deal - like they say 'its ok we can try again' its that classic male need to always have a solution, can't just be supportive and sad, have to find a way to make it alright - or ignore it and hope it goes away

anyway big woot woots to becky78

LeeWT · 04/09/2009 23:19

Congrats Becky!! Whoop whoop over the totallys grads for you

well as for me I'm home and alive and although I'm scared of the whole molar preg thing I'm taking one day at a time. Thanks to everyone who has been thinking of me and not forgetting me. Apples and cheepz (and so many others) I know you truly understand and that's such an important thing. It's upsetting knowing I can't ttc for so long as I really enjoyed the comradery here and of course mrs rigbys TMIs which I LOVE reading..

Loads of babydust to you all xxxxxx

becky78 · 05/09/2009 07:46

Thanks lee, I was so sorry to hear your news tho. Take care of yourself and as the others have said I am genuinely thinking of you all the time. Make sure you keep dropping in to let us know how you are doing x

boodleboot · 05/09/2009 16:28

congrats becky that is awesome news....looking forward to hearing all about your knicker checking on totally's grads...

i really hope that is the start of a landslide of BFP's

MrsRigby · 05/09/2009 21:24

Not a whole lot to say this evening - CD36 .

I keep thinking of trying those ovulation tests, but they say on the packet that they're not suitable for women with PCOS.

Working my way through yet another box of chocolates whilst feeling sorry for myself .

Cheepz · 05/09/2009 21:50

evenin' ladies, ewll its cd 13 so i really have to try and get some bd done tonight, dh is at least home but sometimes it seems so contrived to initiate it even though its mostly me that does, sometimes wish he would be badgering me more for it then i could make it less obvious when we need to do the do, but sometimes i wonder if he actually wants to do it at all?! i think the whole baby making factor is abit of a turn off for him! makes it very awkward, but he was out the last two nights and ideally i would like to go for today AND tomorrow.... but minimum today and monday - have some cramps so likely ovulating - although had more ewcm on 9th and 10th days and since then less so am wondering if i ovulated very early and missed it! baffling.

Anyway have done the list and moved becky78 to grads (still smiling about that) and wondering what the other ladies at the top end of the table are doing (not those in the wtf cycle obviously because none has a clue whats going on there!)

anyway, loose ends to tie up then lingerie time - to make it abundantly clear what the deal is!
