romilly · 29/06/2005 20:12

WELCOME BACK BELLA WE MISSED YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is great to have you and nemo and dqueen and wendy and george all around again

what a fab thread this is turning out to be, first wendy, then munzie's BFPs, and now bella's back

cadmum - i am being a chicken too (11 dpo ) and I AM NOT TESTING until friday, absolutely definitely no way

milosmum - so sorry you are blue, cheer up honey, choccie is being handed out in your direction too

thanks so much for special dust frizbe, wendy and munz - i would like to share it with bella and cadmum so get under girls

charlee - glad you and dp have made up now, and yes of course you want to be pg.

Cadmum · 29/06/2005 20:19

There you are Rom! Looks like you are my testing partner this month. Please, please get a BFP with me. I would love to be on the same ante-natal thread as you.

My head is splitting and I am trying to decide if I should reach for the paracetemol or not... Will surely get a BFP if I do...

wendy11 · 29/06/2005 20:22

Cadmum - Yes 6 loooong years of trying. We wil be married 8 years in August and in our naivete we thought a couple of years of enjoying ourselves and then he ho I would fall pg immediately and our life would be perfect. Oh boy were we in for a shock. I know how blessed we are now and I pray that everything will be OK. We had 2 embryos put back so now just have to wait and see if 1 or 2 have decided to stick around. I don't really care so long as everything is OK

Munz - first scan is on the 8th July by which time I should be 7+1 if I take conception as the day of egg collection. Found a pg calculator for IVF people which gives me a due date of 22nd February, but don't want to think that far ahead until after the scan

Rom - stick it out as long as you can. I was afraid to test and I think only for the fact we had to let the hospital know I would still want to be in happy denial

Hope everyone is OK and enjoying themselves tonigh. Off to watch some more hopeless TV. Thank goodness for Wimbleton at the moment - I'm not even that big a tennis fan but better than nothing

romilly · 29/06/2005 20:23

hi cadmum - lets test on friday (i already caved in and got a BFN but if was way too early so i've conveniently forgotton about that one)

would be great if we could be on the same thread. sorry to hear about the headache, shouldnt be on the computer sweetie! (glad you are though)

wendy11 · 29/06/2005 20:24

Really will have to preview before posting. My fingers type before my brain thinks

romilly · 29/06/2005 20:25

romilly · 29/06/2005 20:31

but time is a great healer.
Well me ... feel so so down cant stop crying on cd24 15 days past ov been on hols all relaxed did loadsa bd all bloody mth and just know afs round the corner i really cant take this much more fell out with one of my bf as this ttc lark as already driven a wedge she then said today its not my fault you cant get pg which absolutely devastated me as thats true.. 14mths ovulation checking since jan still nothing why oh why do i feel like this i hate myself for feeling like this and wish i could shut it off but i cant it consumes my every thought and this may sound really silly you know when in coronation st not too long ago when Tracy Barlow was calling Karen barren thst thought goes through my mind every day i hate hate hate this time of the mth playing the waiting game and then your body plays tricks is horrible so so sorry for rant.

romilly · 29/06/2005 21:36

thanks for lovely message debbsy and (((((((hugs))))))))) for you as well hon. so sorry that you are going through that tough stage at the moment, it is hard, hard, hard - and thats why we are all here. friends in real life usually cant relate, either they havent been through the agony of miscarriage or the torment of ttc for a long time - so dont lose heart, please, we are all here to see we all get there and dont give up!

Debbsy · 29/06/2005 21:48

Rom its so bloody hard to cope sometimes though isnt it cos i have no control over this at all. i can honestly say this is the toughest thing ive been through in my entire life and i know dh which may i add is fantastic and really doesnt know what to say to me when i feel like this and mum fears for my sanity..Sometimes when i feel like this i just want the world to go away when i feel like this.

munz · 30/06/2005 07:45

debs (((((hugs))))) please don't give up honney we've been TTC since end of last may so we're now 13 months down the line please don't give up. i'm sure things will come right in the end with your friend I suspect she just doesn't understand what all this TTC lark does to you. are you sure AF's coming? that's how i've felt for the past week.

rom/cad mum - well if wend's due in feb and i'm not till march then u two just have to come over with me - u do, and i'm gonna sit here. on this v spot until u to do!

wend - good luck hon i'll be thinking of u as well, 8th is only next friday so put ur feet up and rest some more, hopefully both beanies stuck.

temps today have gone from 37.0 to 36.6 so am slightly worried, but tested - I know aagin! lol, with the CB digital this time and was + agian, the two lines were the same in darkness so I guess that's it then it must be right after 6 tests all saying the same? just gotta hope now, althou feeling sick as a dog and not really sleeping ocs of it (I guess it's just nerves) roll on the 15th when I can get everything confirmed.

cp - we all have times like that honney - weds I was shouting at DH that he didn't care about me and I was sick of coping and doing everything my by self, then about 2 hours later I was jumping up and down next to him more or less blocking his wind pipe hugging him! blame hormones girl! lol. and iwiw, I don't think men understand this TTC lark as women do, as DH proved to me on wednesday - he said how am I ment to know what it's like and when u need me about if u don't tell me - moral of the story keep talking to DP I know it's hard with everything that goes on daily and we all do it, but remember to talk things thru.

anyhow best rush off to the shower as i'm a bit smelly!

ooh also last night was happily lying in bed quite nicely dreaming (actually managed to get off in the end) then all of a sudden we here crash bang llights on etc.. dogs jumping all over the bed scared, I turned on my lamp to look as everything was OK with the eletric in the room and DH's phone (on the charger still) had litterally flung across the room from his side to mine it was dead weird and scarey - manybe we should get most haunted out?

fresco · 30/06/2005 08:32

oh, munn. At bloody last.you see, once is enough and the sperms and eggs will meet, hehe.
Youpee!!!!!!!!!!!if someone deserves it, you do.how long have you been ttc now? your hubby must be over the moon.Do take care and relax now

fresco · 30/06/2005 08:33

good luck to everyone else. how is hulababy doing?

munz · 30/06/2005 08:37

fresco - hula's off on her jolly 'olidays (without us I might add - how rude!) DH keeps grinning like a cheshire cat whilst saying 10 million spare's is what it is! lol - he's got 33 million apparently instead of the average 22 million - I don't know as long as it reaches who cares! what happened with your temps the month u got PG? can I have a look at your chart/ do a swopsies cos my temps are down today and slightly worried. ta

Nemo1977 · 30/06/2005 08:52

pmsl munzie bless ya..must admit that even tho im 16wks tommorow i still always wanna test..thats with having a doppler

rom n bella hugs to u ladies

wendy hope ur scan is fab

LunarSea · 30/06/2005 09:30

Debbsy - friends, eh? I've got one a bit like that too, who got pg 1st month with both of hers, and just doesn't see the problem.

I'm not a violent person, but I could happily have throttled her when after my m/c (which was hard enough to have to tell her about as it was) she just said, "Never mind, you'll be able to have a spring baby now instead of a winter one, so you'll get the summer off which will be better".

As we'd been trying for 32 months this time, 30 months for ds, and 18 months for the previous m/c, and I'm 39 now, immediately post m/c I really felt that this was the end of the line for us, so her attitude really upset me at what was a bad time anyway. But then I suppose as she's never had even a single month of disappointment, perhaps she really can't start to understand.

Re the ov checking - when are you doing it? After years of it, and doing it in conjunction with other things like charting, and the little saliva telescope thing, I've found that I'd often get a positive on it a day earlier if I tested early evening instead of first thing in the morning. It might help to try that perhaps? And on a similar theme if you usually do your bd'ing at a certain time of day, do you ever get the chance to try a different time? I've seen some figures somewhere that ov kits get it right only 60% of the time, so you could be missing the boat if you're waiting for the positive.

The little telescope/microscope things are quite good for highlighting that things are beginning to change so you can pinpoint the few days before ovulation too - and once you've bought it you can test as often as you like even if that means several times a day. But if you try that make sure that you haven't had anything to eat/drink for a while before using it - drinking wine and then testing gives me a +ve (fern pattern) at any time of the month!

munz · 30/06/2005 10:16

deb - have u thought of trying persona for the OV checking - I completely recommend it as it take the stress out of thinking when do I OV asn after a few months you'll know roughly when u OV anyways.

(((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))

Bella23 · 30/06/2005 10:55

Morning all ladies.
Debbsy {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}. I soooo understand how you are feeling, its so very hard this TTC lark. I think you need to allow youself to have a bit of insanity, I think its when you try and bottle it all up that it gets worse and makes you feel so alone.
Keep sharing with us how you feel as getting it off your chest is a good thing.
Hang in there honey.......xxxx

Thanks for the welome back ladies.

Rom - I am going to be sending out positive vibes into the universe for your testing tomorrow. Got everything crossed for you....and you Cadmum! Come on girls, I am willing it for you both.

CD 2..........arh!!!!!!

Frizbe · 30/06/2005 11:06

Hi all just popping by to keep you updated I've not had chance to read all your news yet, so give me a few mins, but here's mine

Well I went to the quacks today and they have me dated at either 28th feb 2nd March or 4th March, depending on what my cycle was doing for that month!!! tee heee....
I have my booking in apptmt on 20th July, with MW and I was very and nicely surprised to find out they've introduced a dating scan at our local hospital (that of desperate midwives fame) so I get to see my beanie twice! this time (with dd it was just the 20 wk scan) so feeling all excited now....

Frizbe · 30/06/2005 11:13

Righty read the thread now!

Munz, that's really spookey, has anything like that happened before? ooooh....(shivers)

Rom, CP and Debsey hope your feeling ok today, try not to let it get you all down {{{{Hugs}}}}

wendy11 · 30/06/2005 11:49

Debbsy - (((Hugs))) Sorry you are feeling so down about the whole thing. Don't bottle up your feelings - keep talking about how you are feeling. I know in the past I have had some wonderful conversations with the dogs mainly because I can say whatever I like about whatever/whoever I like and noone is offended but I feel better about getting it off my chest.

Munz - that sound really weird!! Were you not really spooked by it? I think it says somewhere on Fertility Friend that you should stop temping once you get a BFP as temps can fluctuate in pg and you can get concerned for no reason.

Bella - good to see you this morining. Keep chatting

Rom/Cadmum - sending all the positive vibes I can for you both tomorrow. Keeping everything crossed for you!!! Our electric is off all day tomorrow so it will be tomorrow night before I can get on to check on you both.......typical electricity board and their repairs. Do they not know how important Mumsnet is???

Chat later

munz · 30/06/2005 11:50

no not at this house.

at my mums I would see my grandad walking past the window (he died b4 I was born but would always come when I was stressed out so I knew it would work out) or he'd visit in my dreams, apart from that it's all happened in p'mouth were i'm from. not sure if it's cos i'm so worried about this PG that it's ppl upstairs tellingme not to stress?

had a text from MIL today - it says - go steady take care of our baby - since when was this our baby it's mine and DH's. he told her on tues as he was soo excited. (and I think after support after the M/C which he didn't tell them about)

munz · 30/06/2005 11:51

wend - at 2.30 am all I wanted to do was sleep! but yes it did spoke me out a little. will stop temping then (and testing!) still staying with u lot thou!

wendy11 · 30/06/2005 12:05

Munz - Don't worry about doing tests I am still doing a test every week
