LOL at Bunnys take on thread starting!! If it guarantees a BFP there will be blood and tears when it comes to beginning the one after her new one! Fight!

[claireinthecommunity]

Great to see you back Kaloki

Just to remind everyone bunny started a new thread for us here, see you over there

[addie81]

thanks for the reply bunnygirl. i think my temp might have started a very slow rise now.

[Lipstie]

Aargh!! Please can someone tell me I am not going mad??!!! I am on day 26 of a normal 28 day cycle, have had spotting for the last couple of days (same as last month) have felt that any time soon AF is going to show but has not reared her ugly head yet. I have got sore boobs (have not had that for years!!) and they are getting rather large, DH is loving this! I put this down to gaining some weight as I have stopped the silly amount of work and exercise I was doing.

I was silly enough to do a FR test day before yesterday and of course it was a bfn, but since then I have got choked at the slightest thing! Have I got really bad pmt or could it be something better? Really not sure what to think as don't want to get hopes up! Sorry for the rant x

[WhiteRoses]

Kaloki - great to see you back!

[Kaloki]

Hey everyone, long time no chat. Will read trough all the missed posts as soon as I can, it's been a bit of a nightmare here recently. (That's an serious understatement)

So we haven't been actively trying this month, no time, energy, or a home to do it in! Hopefully back to normal as soon as this cycle finishes, and on that note, anyone want to take bets on the length of this one? Last month was 36 days, the month before was 19, tomorrow is day 28, what are my chances? lol

[kkas]

just updating the list and counting down the hours til work's done. TGIF!

[WhiteRoses]

ceebs - you're on lucky Cycle 3 so fingers crossed!

So what exactly WAS the message Worrisome?! I'm intrigued!

mumnerves - lol! I'm sorry! Never thought I'd cause all that trouble!

Great to hear you think the timing was good this month. Now the dreaded 2WW...

Bunny - I was only missing for an hour or two so wouldn't worry about it!

I didn't realise you worked for the NHS... Am I allowed to ask what you do?

Lol! Loving all your theories! Off to check out the new thread!

[bunnygirl80]

I'm using yet another theory to get me a BFP. As everyone knows it's mumsnet folklore that if you start a thread in conception you will have a BFP by the time it's full.

It worked for pixie this time so as this threads nearly full I'm putting the theory to the test. So here's the link to the shiney
new thread

[bunnygirl80]

I feel very uncaring at the moment as hadn't even noticed whiteroses had gone missing! Glad you're ok though. Sorry your midwife was so horrible. It really annoys me when healthcare professionals are like that - I surely can't be the only person the NHS made sit through hours and hours of communication skills courses telling me to talk to my patients and not about them!

Addie I think others have already said this but if your temp hasn't gone up then keep bding. You could ov late, or your temp can rise really slowly. Last cycle, I had all my usualy ov signs around cd19, but no temp shift, then another ton of ewcm on cd23 and a slow temp rise over around 4 days after that. Seems like my body tried to ov then changed it's mind and then actually managed it a few days later.

AF seems to have gone away so time to get going with pre-season friendlies Hopefully I won't ov quite so late this month - it's tiring keeping going with bd every other day for so long. DH doesn't seem to mind though

[mumnerves]

oops, just saw that whiteroses is ok, must have thought I was at the end of the thread

Glad you're ok, sorry to hear your midwife was so awful! But at least you got to see another one!

[mumnerves]

I hope whiteroses is ok too, if you're reading this hun, please let us know you're ok!!

yorkshire Hope your DH doesn't feel like that for too long, maybe the dr just said it was slightly under and it was taken as really bad? Keeping fingers crossed for him!
Fudge sorry to hear about AF

drew : PMSL at your take on EWCM!

Well, my temp went up this morning so hopefully last nights BD was a successful one

[WorrisomeHeart]

whiteroses I think I'm probably just jumping to conclusions on a mega-scale.. and she didn't say she was pg, just a kind of cryptic message you know? It is almost that I can imagine posting something similar if I suspected I was going to get a bfp... insane I know! I think the term 'crazy baby lady' definitely applies to me tonight!

Great about avoiding the mw!

[ceebs05]

Pidgin - symptom spotting is so frustrating isn't it - I'm sure I am picking up on so many things that were always there i just didn't notice before!

whiteroses - wow can't believe how rude your midwife was - you'd think communication skills would be a basic requirement?!

I'm on day 31 now and having a few cramps so think AF is on her way although I still feel occasionally queasy and v.sore boobs. Wish she would just hurry up now so I can get started on cycle 4!

[WhiteRoses]

Worrisome - sorry - cross posted!

So is your twin pregnant? Surely she'd have told you before posting on Facebook?

Thankfully no chance of meeting the bitch again... Am going to have consultant-led care so will be at a hospital that she doesn't work at.

[WorrisomeHeart]

Oh whiteroses I meant to say what a horror your midwife is! I can't believe how callous she was about possible m/c and scans! Here's hoping your next one is better.. Would you run the risk of having the nasty one at the birth - do they alternate shifts, or can you choose your own?

[WhiteRoses]

Pidgin - you deserve a hug! Lol! Totally know where you're coming from - ttc is so ridiculously all-consuming, isn't it?! Bet you'd never have believed it was going to be this way, would you?!

[WorrisomeHeart]

Hi all

I can't believe how fast this thread moves - I've been out for the last couple of nights so not had a chance to read/post and I can't believe it's gone up by so many posts! Cant possibly respond to all of them as we'd be here all night, but glad to see you're ok whiteroses! pixie I can't remember if I've said congrats, but brilliant news about the BFP, I am really pleased for you!

Well I'm having a loony moment - my twin sister (who lives on the other side of the world from me - she's nearer to you bunny than she is to me ) posted something on Facebook and I immediately jumped to the 'oh she must be preggers' conclusion and immediately felt very blue. So daft as I would be so happy for her if that is the case but not being able to be with her while she went through all that would be so hard. Plus the whole 'why not me' insania rears it's head and then I feel guilty!!

Anyway, thats my unloading on to you all for tonight. Otherwise things continue as normal in WH-land - on Day 22 and have sore boobs and twingy tum but they are all normal for the betwee OV and AF for me so as much as I would like to go to the clinic next week with a BFP I don't think it's going to happen!

Sorry to go on and on... it's so therapeutic writing to you all though

[Pidgin]

Hi all, just catching up on everyone's posts - WhiteRoses your midwife sounds like a real delight. You'd think there'd be some basic training on talking to the patient, not about them... grr!

Hermya it's nice your DH is so lovely and supportive. It does really help to have someone looks after you a bit at times, especially cooking lots!

I am already driving myself mad symptom spotting and I'm only 6DPO. Yesterday I was really tired although I'd slept fine the night before - exhausted today too although I had a rubbish night's sleep last night so that might be why. I've had quite a bit of creamy CM which seems to be a pg symptom for some people - and then today I got very light pinky spotting.

Could be early implantation bleeding I guess - but then I do sometimes spot midcycle and before AF - aarrrgghhh! I feel like I can't think about anything else and chances are this is just the first month of many.... I know it's way too early to test but at this rate I will be a gibbering wreck by next Wednesday, which is probably the earliest I could expect AF. And I can't even have a nice big glass of wine to cheer myself up!

Right, rant over, thanks for listening...

[WhiteRoses]

Hi Hermya - cross posted!

Glad to hear you sounding so much more positive! Yeh, my midwife was terrible but luckily I'll not see her again now, so it'll all be fine in the end! And it's bound to make me appreciate my "real" midwife, if nothing else!

[WhiteRoses]

Claire - I'd usually be more conscious than I am about revealing too much, but I know that nobody would be able to figure out who I am, bar my mum, and I never dreamt that she'd be an MN member! I am very open with all of you though... Pretty weird, when you think we've never met...

That's rubbish that your meds make you tired... But you're probably wise, holding off and not getting your hopes up, just in case. I shouldn't be encouraging you!

Thanks Kkas - apologies again!

Pixie - the one thing my doctor advised me to do was to listen to my body and if I'm tired, sleep. If I'm hungry, eat. Aside from looking after yourself in that way, there's not a lot else you can do, so you're as well to relax and just try and keep your mind off nasty things. (Easier said than done!) I had hoped to get an early scan on the NHS cause of my irregular periods and my health condition, but the mdwife dismissed me. (Maybe the next one will be different.) My dad wanted to pay for me to go private, so I could reassure myself, but to be honest, I think I'd only feel better for about ten minutes... Then I'd start thinking about all that could have happened since I'd had the scan! Anyway, if I was getting one, I wouldn't be taking his money! But it was so nice of him, all the same.

Turned that right around there so it was all "me, me, me"!

So anyway, if the worst were to happen (which I'm sure won't), would you not want to tell your mum? Do you think you'd ever tell her? I hope I'm right in thinking that she'll surprise you in the end and will just be really happy for you and very supportive.

[Hermya321]

Evening all! Well AF has left the building, I'm now OV testing every day at the moment as I have NO idea as to when I'll ovulate. Also checking CM as well as BBT. Gosh sorry it's a bit TMI, but where else am I going to talk about this stuff. Work was a lot better today, the end is in sight for this course and I won't have to see the group again for a good long while. Although I'm now worrying about my next course. Oh well at least I can greet this one with a smile on my face and a skip in my step .

DH has been so lovely this week, I've been getting home late and he has cooked nearly every night this week. I feel very lucky to have him at times like this. Anyway sappy moment over, I hope you're all having good evenings.

Bunny Snap, I felt a bit more like myself today as well. It was lovely to be able to smile at people at work without thinking muderous thoughts.

Drewsgirl EWCM is disgusting but at least it's a clue as to whats going on down there in my nether regions. But you did make me giggle.

Zippys I did look good, my new blusher is fab and someone told me I was looking well today. Although it kind of made me wonder if I was looking unwell before . LOL. Had a much better day today though.

Whiteroses I am actually quite shocked at the level of care you received from the midwife today. Their behaviour sounds plain ignorant and makes me feel really angry and shocked. To talk about you like that is horrid! I'm glad you're ok though!!

Pixie I'm sorry that you had a bad day the other day and I hope you're feeling better.

Fudge Sorry about AF as well!!

Feb will be a good month for this thread, so lets arm ourselves with folic acid and BD until the cows come home!

[pixiestix]

WhiteRoses - I haven't told anyone but DH as yet. I'm only 4+1 today, so the (tentative) plan is that I will call the doctor in about a week, when AF is really late, and then I might book an early scan at about 8 weeks. I've been really encouraged by Curly and Spiraels experiences with those and think it would be a big weight off my mind to see the little bean in action! If that goes ok, I will then [take a deep breath] attempt to tell my mother!! [shitting self emoticon!!!!!] I don't really want to go down that road if its all going to end in tears very early on . But am trying to think positive thoughts - i.e soft little fuzzy headed baby thoughts!!!

[kkas]

glad you're alright whiteroses
