Moon hopefully an hour from now you will have your answer. I am so praying for a sticky bean for you. I know everyone will be thinking of you at 1:30 and sending you the biggest hug in the world xxx

Sorry I crossposted with you MLS. planting flowers sounds lovely. I'm glad it is finally your turn and those pregnant mums aren't bothering you anymore

I did an opk but it didn't work so I'm off to do another one now. Wish me luck

yay MLS, glad about the pg ladies! Now hopefully in 6 months time some other poor lady will be all jealous of you

Hi curly how come you're doing opks on day 27? Shouldn't you be trying to keep away from the First Response by now?

lol... yes I should be staying away from the opks cupcake but I'm home on study leave and taking full advantage to engage in some obsessive behaviour

my opk gave me the same faint line as yesterday and the day before which means... nothing!!!

My symptoms seem to have disappeared now so I suppose I shall have to prepare myself for AF on Thursday. I'm not ready to give up on symptom spotting completely though

hi girls
hope everyone is ok im just enjoyung the sun and trying not to do much house work lol.

well af gone to the race is def onxxx yeah

i really need to stop being so obsessed with having a lo its really making me depressed and down im not really enjoyung married life as i should. i dont know what to do . keep crying all time

moon i hope you ok im thinking of you lots xxxxx

kate lovely lady you too have been through loads of stress, albeit it happy stress getting hitched is still way up there in the stress stakes. your mc was not that long ago in the scale of things and it does take a long time to recover. To be totally honest I think it usually takes me a full year to 'get over' a mc. Which I guess when you think about it covers the 9months and the edd and I suppose looking at it that way its quite a natural process of controlling, accepting and slotting grief and loss into our lives.
Just see it as every month that goes by your body and your head are getting stronger - ha! it may not feel like it but I am sure it must help..

Its just gone 1.30 I hate this bit of waiting for people to come back and let us know. moon sending out positive thoughts now

Mrskate would you like a hug? You shouldn't feel guilty for crying, it's only natural after what you have been through. It is easy to be hopeful for the future until AF arrives, and after that everything you have been through crashes down to earth with you.

I got married last year, it was the most amazing happy day but I found that after the two MCs I kept getting sad about it and focussing on things that hadn't gone perfectly. DH reckoned that my view was coloured by everything that happened after. For you, it must be so raw still, and especially as you had your MC beforehand

It will get better, and soon you will be pregnant. But in the meantime life is too short so have some very large glasses of wine, organise a girls night out, sort out those cupboards and try to concentrate on all those things you can do before you get pregnant. And whatever you do, don't feel bad. You are strong and you will get through this honey

hi kate what you are feeling is totally normal. This month I have an edd for 2nd lost angel and it's a year since I lost first angel, and I know that if I wasn't pg now I would be going through such a hard time right now. That doesn't mean I haven't forgoten them, it's just that being where I am now softens the blow. Don't be too hard on yourself hun xxx

as im writting this im crying(again) beacause you are all so great and i love you lots i knew i could rely on you lots to cheer me up and make me feel better xxxx i dont think i could of gone on without you all . if i hadnt got mn i think i would have been sectioned for depression lol

You are making me cry now kate. Don't worry, they'll have to section all of us because we'll be hanging on so tight to your hand

Let's hope we get some good news today. I'm so nervous for Moon

kate it's good to know you're not alone at times like this isn't it, and even though most of us don't know each other in rl we all have quite a strong bond on here which is nice. It is so hard at the moment for you, but take comfort in the fact that it WILL get better for you

Look at us all, desperate to hear moon's news! Bet she won't be on for hours yet!

...Kate big hugs to you lovely xxx I had a mini wobble last night too. I had just been congratulating myself on having not cried about the mc for a couple of weeks and hey presto, started crying last night. It was because DH & I were discussing if we really should bd again or should we leave it be...and suddenly it just got to me. When we first decided to ttc last year it was soooo lovely and joyful and exciting to think about a LO...and now everything has to be discussed to death and as curly said, everything is coloured by what we have been through. It's so sad
So what I'm trying to say is... it's perfectly normal! I agree MN is great to give us all the support we need. Keep smiling girl and go drink a colourful drink with an umbrella in it or something

thank you so so much xxxxxxxxx

bigs hugs to moon

OMG I have a line on a opk woohoooo yes yes yes! i think I have oved twice.... can that really happen twice? surely not. My tummy really really hurts.
so is that all systems go at mermaid headquarters then? I am going to have to use my devious femme fatal approach this time how stupid that a silly little line on an opk has made me in such a good mood.

kate you know it does sometimes help to go and see a coucillor just to go aaaagggghhghghh. might be worth thinking about.
right off to do my legs and things and find best undies, iron sheets, maybe not, wine, candles.
am liking the idea of something with an umbrella in too.

oh yes I forgot you wouldn't need my services unless you had a yacht and did mad things like go across oceans.. I don't really want to out myself

ha ha you make me laugh mermaid i love it . that sounds a great plan .

i might have to speak to my mum shes a counsellor she really helps me . i have been depressed before thats why im a bit worried i dont want to go there again it wasnt a nice place . it was before i met dh xxxx

Woohoooooo mermaid! Yes it is possible to ov twice... go get yourself all shiny and lovely for your dh

kate dear of you we won't let you get all moribund.xx
It may take me some time to get both shiny and lovely all at the same time and by this evening....

Whooopeeee mermaid has double ov!!! You go get him tiger! Liking you in the white coat again, perhaps you could work that into your femme fatal approach! Bless you being as well sweetie! Oooh excited for you! Optimim prime is the phrase that always comes to mind!

Mrskate and Cupcake too, so sorry you are feeling crap about this whole thing, but as everyone has said, this is very normal, to overanalyze and organise, the thing Im most about is other womens ability to enjoy being PG, something we'll all never truly know now and that is . My 1st mc was 9 weeks after our wedding, it did feel like the fairytale ended, but I decided not to let it, I know I gush about my DH in a pass the bucket kinda way but it made me more determined not to let it affect what we have, & just make us stronger... There are positives in everything if you look hard enough. Mind you if someone said that to me last week I may have ripped their tongue out their mouth & stuck it where the sun dont shine! . Go with the flow girlys and when you wanna shout, shout, when you wanna hug, albeit virtual, we are here for you! xxx

Vjay let us know your edd for handholding wont you?

Curly I got excited for you when I see you wrote you are testing, then confused at OPK? If you wanna wee on a stick get the early PG test out lady!

BTW thanks for advice on babymad mls & girlys, will def sneak a peek.. Looks like AF is nearly finished 4 day flow, wow havent had that for a looong time.

Just lurked to see if anything from Moon, had to post to you ladies when read about OPKs & downers tho! Really got baited breath here for moon tho!

Just checking up on moon Been on my mind all afternoon.

Go Mermaid! Think I might be in the same boat as you as AF turned out not to be AF and had a +ive yeaterday and today, but not pinning hopes on it as clearly a VERY LONG cycle. All will be revealed in 2 weeks.

Kate sending you a hug. The hormones are crappy but you're stronger than you think.

Curley Go on - test. You know you want to!

Hi to everyone else. I survived the 1st day of the new timetable. My S3 class look challenging so need to have a maternity leave pronto!

Neeko - an AF when AF is due but doesn't behave like AF could well be an implantation bleed - have you tested ???

Mermaid - double ov could = twins

Still pretty blue here for various reasons, but not going to go into it whilst at work, otherwise I'll be crying in the middle of an open plan office filled with men

Busily planning operation BD fest and taking notes from Mermaid's posts as I think I will be entering my fertile "window" by Wed and will ov on Saturday.

Still thinking of you Moon

This is me - of course I've tested! My temp chart would indicate that I maybe didn't ovulate earlier so that would make it breakthrough bleeding. Time will tell.
Hope you're ok Jools. Take care!

Right - had chance to catch up a bit now!

Sabs hope southend was fun

Vjay the heat doesn't stop me - the opposite actually

cupcake am am like you, trying not to put any pressure on DH - but also wanting to make sure we BD lots - luckily he up for it now he over man flu although might have missed the right time think opk's for next month...

Curly not the garden for me - was at my parents house and have my fingers crossed for you xx

lbm hope you managed to get some action

gracie what excuse did you come up with?

Neeko 3 weeks to hols - am

MrsKate hope you feeling bit better?

mermaid double ovulation sounds good hope your seduction sucesfull

jools hope you are ok? xx

4ever purple cast glad you sounding bit happier tho

Waves to barbie annie MLS and to any one else that knows me

Just logged back in to check up on moon, hope you're ok hun.
iggy good for you, this heat just stops me from doing anything!

mermaid, I think Dr jools is right!! Wasn't there twins born recently that were conceived 1 week apart!!! Are you all shiny yet?

4ever I'm cheating with the opks DH is away so I promised not to test till Thurs eve. Neeko do a proper test, it sounds like an implantation bleed and a positive OPK when AF is due is a sign of pregnancy!! That's why I'm doing them this week

cupcake I reckon we should all have drinks with umbrellas tonight Let's not make it grapefruit juice though, I've had enough this month for a lifetime.

Kate You are still in the early stage of grieving and unfortunately this encompassing sadness is all too common It doesn't necessarily mean you will go back to that dark place. It WILL get better. Speaking to your mum sounds like a great idea xx

Hope Moon is okay
