4ever thank you xx I was never as obsessive before the MC - as had no idea what being PG might feel like... but now I've expereinced it once I am obsessing - and I just need to be PG again. I guess we all feel like that

Thing is am kind of feeling a bit nauseous... which was the one thing I really noticed back in feb... but the chance is so small... please give me a virtual slap

MrsKate · 08/06/2009 12:56

hi all

thinking of moon today hope you are ok lovely lady.

curly how is the spotting im thinking of you and hope you are ok and trying not to painc to mich i know thats very easy for me to say that

waves and love to everyone else xxxxxx

ohh neeko im glad you tried clusters great arent they lol

.barbie that was horrid what happen to you after you got married i should be gratful and shut up moaning i think. lol xxxx

cupcakefairy · 08/06/2009 13:19

Kate you never need to stop moaning here

Iggy don't you worry I'm right there with you!! I could have written your posts! I'm completely obsessed about every little thing and desperate to be pregnant again - I wasn't like this before the mc either. We can hold hands around testing/af time!

Curly glad you are feeling a little better. The hair-stroking thing is interesting - I noticed after the mc that whenever women hugged me to say sorry they would stroke my head. It made me want to cry but was so comforting too! So have as many comforting hair-strokes as you like

Gracie rubbish that your bowel had you up at 2 again! Hope it's that little bean just making its presence known in there! As Blue said, I'm sure anything is worth it for your lo...

MLS how are you doing? You must be 6/7 weeks now? Hope you have a good week this week.

You girls are a bad influence - I actually bought some tests from babymad yesterday! (dh couldn't believe how cheap they were, so I had his full encouragmement ) let's see how long I can keep away from them...

4everhopeful · 08/06/2009 13:51

No problemo Iggy and no virtual slap for you 'symptom spotting is normal' remember! Have some choc instead of that slap!

Mrskate hope your getting your front room back together - and cupcakes right, your very entitled to a moan and a rant, thats what we are here for!

Cupcake I spent loads on OPKs in superdrug, def gonna stock up from babymad now. When you testing? Must be any day now? I keep getting you confused with Cupoftea cos she is same cd as me!

I did my opk & nowt.. Hardly even see the faint line and the test line not too strong either I really need some advice please ladies like best time to do it, how long to avoid drink? Its confusing me & forgetting about when to bd as well? Under old method of adding 14 days to AF id be due to OV on fri, so would be bd from now...? Also, 3 days of POAS and seeing nothing is making me feel crap like 'I cant even do that right' and cos its constant 'negatives' and im used to POAS HPTs its making me feel a bit ... What a blummin palava eh?

MrsKate · 08/06/2009 13:57

i just feel i have no right to moan there are poeple in worst situations than me .i feel guilty for being selfish

i feel the same about becoming pg again girls im so obsessed its becoming worrying. i go in deep depression when af came i was a bit like it before mc as i was trying for a year and a half before mc . i really want to be pg agin xxxxxx but the more i stess the less likely it will happen bit of a crappy circle xxx

iggypiggy · 08/06/2009 14:48

4ever I have tried opks once before - and I got nothing... so that's why I gave up... you can also get more sensitive ones online I think? Mine where cheap ones I got via amazon... think company was home health or similar... The preg tests def work.. so am guessing the opks should too

maybe do old method as well as POAS - then you are covered - and if opks show a line you will know more accurately re: ov?

mrsKate It took me a little while to get PG too - I kind of know how you feel - I think we all understand what it's like to want a baby and be depressed when we get AF when what we all want is a positive preg test. xx

MrsKate · 08/06/2009 14:53

yeah we will all get a bfp together which i think is great and you can can be there for everyone on their great journey xx

cupcakefairy · 08/06/2009 15:52

4ever don't feel down...I think OPKs are a bit hit and miss; for some people they seem to work like a dream and not others... but I wouldn't expect you'd get a line on day 11? To be honest I should probably shut up as I've never used an OPK!! But I would say yes, start the bd action now! There's conflicting advice out there about whether every day or every other day is better, so why not try exactly every 1.5 days (haha, now I have visions of you timing it exactly and waking your dh in the middle of the night for bd!)
I'm gonna try really hard not to test til the weekend (see it's already changed from 'next Monday' to 'the weekend'!) but when my HPTs arrive it will be hard to resist! But the thought of getting a BFN will probably encourage me to wait a few more days...

Neeko · 08/06/2009 15:52

Hi. Only have time for a quick post to 4ever I used the Superdrug ones this time and found them ok. I used them at half past one and didn't drink anything from eleven or pee from 9 That seemed to work for me. Good luck!

Neeko · 08/06/2009 16:01

Also meant to say Moon I am thinking of you. really hope you are ok.

Cupcake I'm going to try to wait until a week on Wednesday but it's killing me. Been starving today - Symptom?

cupcakefairy · 08/06/2009 16:11

Dangerous to ask me- everything is a symptom to me!
I'm so going to tempt you to test before next Weds, purely for selfish reasons cos if you got a BFP I wouldn't know til I got back from France!

In all seriousness though, I am quite worried about crashing down to earth if I get a BFN/AF...I may need to calm down a little

BlueMoon1981 · 08/06/2009 16:16

hello and thank you all for thinking of me. i thought of you all as i sat in the waiting room. had another scan to confirm bean hasn't grown decided to go for the tablet option, mainly because i am a coward and don't fancy being put to sleep, but also because i feel i need to live through the blood and the pain if that makes any sense at all? i was fine til i took my 1st tablet, then i realised what i was doing and couldn't fight the tears. i will be in hospital all day on wednesday for the 2nd tablet and have to wait for it all to pass through

been a crap day and i just feel empty. the nurses were lovely though.

hope you all are ok xxx

4everhopeful · 08/06/2009 16:18

Thanks cupcake iggy & neeko!

I like your BD every 1.5 days concept cupcake! You're being v good re testing.. think I will be buying a 6 day early test this time round, im itching to test & havent even ov yet!

Neeko we have the same POAS rota then! I feel better now like I have actually done it right! Been doing 1.30pm as well, not drunk from 11am or wee'd since 10am! V similar pattern! Its true as well cupcake cd11 maybe a bit early to expect to see something! Thanks again girls...

Im off now, no doubt I'll miss the flurry of activity that occurs in the evening!

Hope Moon is ok?

Big excitable hugs to barbie too! xxx

4everhopeful · 08/06/2009 16:24

X post Moon - so sorry for what you are going through my lovely brave lady, you are certainly not a coward.. I hope that this helps you move forward and I totally know what you mean about experiencing it all, as I said, conquering the physical side helps to start dealing with the emotional side... Glad you had caring nurses, if you're not up for lurking tomorrow I'll say now that my thoughts will be with you on weds... Im sure you are quite numb and drained after today, put your feet up, get a takeaway and alot of chocolate and magazines and try & switch off if at all possible... Love ya loads xxxx

GracieGirl · 08/06/2009 16:31

Just a quick post to say hello to Moon I've been worrying about you. You do as 4ever tells you and put your feet up and eat lots of chocolate and other yummy things.

cupcakefairy · 08/06/2009 16:32

Oh Moon you poor girl. Well done for getting through today. I went with the tablet option back in April. It was quite painful (but they give you the good stuff to relieve it ) and of course sad...but it definitely makes sense you wanting to go through that. It made it all very real.

And (this part's a bit weird but bear with me!) I don't remember it horribly at all; I remember my dh being there beside me and both of us just pulling together. At the end of the day when I'd passed the sac but still had to stay for a few hours, he read to me while I dozed (high on pethidine!) and that is a lovely memory I have. I hope your dp is going with you Weds? If so, tell him to bring a funny book to read you - it was such a massive relief for dh and I to laugh at the end of that day. (Hope that doesn't sound cold)

iggypiggy · 08/06/2009 16:44

moon well done for getting through today - it must have been shite. agree with everyone who suggested chocolate - although I also had wine to help me through, which I can recommend. xx

VJaybigpants · 08/06/2009 16:52

Just a quick post to say hi to moon you are being really brave, take good care of yourself. Will be thinking of you on Friday xxx

barbie1 · 08/06/2009 16:58

moon thinking of you over the next few days, it wont be easy but look after yourself x

Curlywurlee · 08/06/2009 17:02

Hey Moon I'm so glad to see you. I think you are incredibly brave and strong - You have to chose the best option for you and it sounds like you have done exactly that. I agree with the girls on the chocolate and wine and whatever will help you through the next two days. And bringing books and nice music and maybe something to write down stuff in would help too on Wednesday.

I wish I could give you the most massive hug right now xxx

barbie1 · 08/06/2009 17:07

hey curly how are you???? im soooo tired, going to the doctors next thursday, using the same app that i booked to demand clomid but this time hopefully to confirm the pregnancy. Dh has said that if all is well next week he will write the letter to work for me im dreading the 9pm finish tomorrow

mermaidspurse · 08/06/2009 17:08

moon Its a little bit of the whole awful process that you are in control of. Thinking of you.xx

curly really glad the bleeding has stopped.x

barbie1 · 08/06/2009 17:10
