Hardly the most original title but I didn't want to loose anyone (well that's my excuse for the lack of originality!)

Yey Chamo, congratulations! I echo the others comments, we'll be excited for you

Just a flying visit as i'm at work, didn't want to leave without saying congrats to chamo. Hope everyone is well.

hello
busyish day at work but still finding it hard to get really imersed in it as spend time day dreaming about other stuff

made a few adjustments to list - tool Lee of grads xx and moved Chamo to bottom, also shall we stop updating days on MIA as both are at 60 days.

Am hoping with mrsr, tiger, lou and zayja at top of list we will have more BFP's soon, fingers crossed although I know zayja you are not thinking its going to be your month

2ww dragging already and its only been 2 days

applesaretheonlyfruit · 08/10/2009 19:38

Hi, I am on CD16 and do not appear to be ovulating... Some spotting yesterday and I STILL do not know what is going on.

Well done Chamois, your DH may have asked about dinner, but in his head he was actually saying "YES! Well done, lads".

thefatladyscreams · 09/10/2009 12:02

Love apples's comment about Mr Chamois - probably spot on!

Pain about not ovulating yet apples - sounds like your cycle is still on a go slow.

Glad you had a good day back at work boodle . Saw your other post - didn't realise you were a fellow step mother.

My temps and monitor results are a bit weird at the moment. Could be this cold but my gut instinct is that I've either ovulated early and missed it or will not ovulate this month....

OP posts:
boodleboot · 09/10/2009 14:52

TFLS - oh yes....the joys of step parenting are sometimes very unclear....i kinda got a bit slated on that thread, are you talking about the AIBU one?

been to GP again today as the thrush i have been suffering with since before the ectopic is still hideous so they have taken a swab today and testing me for other infections....TMI for sure but i have scratched myself red raw over the last month, really tried not to but hey ho, my ladybits are dry, chapped cracked and covered in goo....subsequently every pee and poo i have is AGONNNNNNYYYYYYY.....

aah, feel so much better for sharing......

thefatladyscreams · 09/10/2009 14:58

boodle - ohhhhh I'm cringing on your behalf! Hope you get some relief very, very quickly.

Yes it was the AIBU. To be honest, I've stopped posting on step parent issues on Mumsnet because of the often hostile reaction. But completely understand your frustration - DH's ex has changed schools, let children drop out half way through GCSEs etc all without even bothering to let him know, let alone consult. Sorry for slight thread detour everyone else - will stop now before I get on my soap box!

OP posts:
thefatladyscreams · 09/10/2009 15:00

PS forgot to add boodle, I thought you kept your cool pretty impressively (well for the bit I read. I stopped reading after a while as it raises my blood pressure too much)

OP posts:
boodleboot · 09/10/2009 15:04

next time i have a step parenting issue i will be straight over to your soap box to discuss....

thefatladyscreams · 09/10/2009 15:07

It's a date!

OP posts:
boodleboot · 09/10/2009 18:31

crossed posts there.....thanks tfls - i really tried to keep my cool and they really laid into me didn't they....well some did, i think one lady called me a silly cow....everytime i post in AIBU i realise wy its been so long since i last posted in AIBU.....Dem biyatches take no bloody prisoners there....

anyways.....back to the real topic, hijack over....

Cheepz · 09/10/2009 19:15

I rarely post on any AIBU as I find most of the people who respond are in fact quite unreasonable themselves!

I go and have a prod when I am in a stirring mood but otherwise steer clear especially when I am trying to maintain low stress levels!

Good day, lots done, 2ww dragging its heels - ages to go [impatientandpetulantgrimace]

Quiet weekend with ds and dh ... finally

mrsr spill, what news

MrsRigby · 09/10/2009 20:54

Evening

I was going to test today or tomorrow, but:

  1. I've already wasted over £100 in poas and
  2. Let's be honest, I'm not pregnant.

I'm angry and pissed off that it's not happened. Though not suprised as I do have PCOS. In the time it's taken me to not conceive, my sister-in-law, friend and most of the June bus have got pregnant. I'll bet you there's already someone on the July bus who's pregnant.

DH is due back from London in about an hour, looking forward to snuggling. How does he expect us to get pregnant, cuddling is not going to do it. That said we did have sex last night.

TotallyAndUtterlyPaninied · 09/10/2009 20:55

Hi guys just wanted to pop back in. Seems like this thread is very positive Good to see.

There's only a very small number of us left on the other thread now.

Hope you are all well.

xXx

applesaretheonlyfruit · 10/10/2009 12:16

MrsR, I read the website that Meita suggested, about miscarriage and the after effects, and ALL of it resonates with me. It is pregnancyloss.info.

My body has been giving out all sorts of false signals since the mmc. Twice, I would have sworn I was pregnant, absolutely, because of the physical symptoms, and the reality is that I probably hadn't even ovulated..

Totally, we haven't given up hope and really want to swell your numbers on the other thread by jumping over.. soon.

MrsRigby · 10/10/2009 21:51

Well it's CD33 and still no period.

You'll all be proud of me though, went shopping today and didn't buy a single stick to pee on.

I figure I'll either get a period at some point or when I get an ultrasound scan at the hospital, it'll show I'm pregnant.

In the meantime I'm still angry and pissed off and still having sex every other night. I don't even like sex.

I've decided I'm going to console myself with a Radley bag.

Meita · 11/10/2009 12:26

Ladies,

totally nice of you to check in. I've been following the grad thread and it does seem to be a bit unlucky! Well perhaps some of our more recent grads will come and join you to get things a bit more lively. Or if it gets overly quiet over there, you are always welcome to come and share some pg-vibes with us here!

boodle how is "back to work" working out, now that the special "first day back" feeling is wearing off and everyday routine is kicking back in?

zayja

chamo how are you feeling now? Do come and celebrate with us when you feel like it, ok? I have the feeling this thread could do with some upbeatness right now - or is that just me?

everyone it seems things are dragging a bit ... cheepz's 2ww seems to be going on forever, tiger and louise are stuck in the unpredictable wtf-cycle, apples ovulation got lost, MrsRigby appears to be stuck in a PCOS-rut, and Zayja got caught by AF ... I hope at least TFLS is seeing some action! Over here, we've started getting down to business, although I think it's a bit early still, and my temp curve is zigzagging its way into uninterpretability, so I've half convinced myself that this is going to be another anovulatory cycle - making it all the harder to stay motivated for BD, not to speak of coming up with the discipline to POAS at the right time of day, having not had anything to drink for two hours beforehand and not been to the toilet for four hours beforehand... arrgh (the downside of cheepy e-bay OPK - they require discipline)

Anyway, that's me for now - I have been more productive at work than I have been for a long time, and ergo found less time to obsess about TTC and MN, will try to keep that up!

boodleboot · 11/10/2009 13:23

hello - zayja boo for you. next month hun, next month...

went to my church this morning and one of the ladies had her beautiful newborn Charlotte in her arms, absolutely adorable only 5 days old. i had not one feeling of jealousy or envy towards her believe it or not.....it REALLY DID make me think that i would like one of my own tho which is the most positive i have felt about trying again so far. More of a WHEN i am ready to try rather than IF....

I have just ordered Toni Weschlers book and will read up and try and really get in tune with my body and diet {gone slightly to pot i am afraid and am a bit hefty at the min, just put my skinny jeans on and looked like i was squashed into a sausage skin....}
I reckon if i get a good sense of what my body is up to then i will feel more confident and positive about TTC with only one tube {and a dodgy looking tube at that...}. The doc said i would only have to try for 6 months or so before she would consider fertility drugs to assist this time so that is good... DH isn't getting any younger and i think he is also coming round to idea that we owe it to this baby that is trying to be born to give it another go....

work was suprisingly ok, i have lovely job and lovely colleagues who have been very tender with me.

MrsRigby · 11/10/2009 13:31

BFP

I said I wasn't going to poas again, but I found myself in THAT isle and thought what the hell - DH made sure it was only a ASDA cheepy though.

It's a faint line, so DH has gone to the local Co-op for a Clearblue. But, a line is a line.

He won't txt the family and friends yet until we get another positive (it wasn't like this with DS), but I'm dying to tell people to make it real. It just doesn't seem real. I can't believe it.

I'm in complete shock.
