Just MC'd .. Come and join us for the long haul (newbies always welcome!) - Vol 3

[LeeWT]

Hi all, old and new, this is the thread where all moaning, pieces of tmi, discussions and virtual cups of tea and biscuits come together to keep us sane .. or at the least insane together!

Brilliant news MrsRigby!!

Congratulations, and good on for you for supporting the post mc higher fertility thing! Gives us all hope.

lots of lots of sticky best wishes to you and Mr R.

cheepz - i can imagine hun, you are very gracious with it tho which is why you are my very very favourite... YOu know how to get me if you need me chick.

lee My Poppa is 95 and kind of at the same place as your Nanna. We lost my Nana 5yrs ago and pops hasn't really been the same since but my Dad decided to tell him the other day, he sort of whispered it into his ear and a really big smile came across his face...he isn't really understanding much or communicating too well at the moment and this was a really lovely moment for my Dad...gave him some hope that his Dad was still in there somewhere....God bless you and your little Nanna hunny. xxx

Gotta go, bawling again now....seriously, hormones should come with a government health warning.....

Thanks thefatladyscreams, cheepz, sarahmumtoalex, barrenbrook and tetleytea.

DH came home at lunch and picked me up, drove me to the local ASDA and brought me a Clearblue digital . So now I'm stairing at the word pregnant 1-2, so 4 weeks pregnant.

meita as long as you've no intention of becoming a medical doctor I guess that's okay. Very impressive going for a PhD, a friend of mine is thinking of doing one after she's finished her masters. Gives me a headache just thinking about it .

leewt I agree with what meita says, tell your gran. I believe that until we actually die, we can still hear at the very least. And she could go with a smile/joy in her heart.

barrenbrook I like the Police . I was a secretary in a CJU in a previous life and I have a brother and sister-in-law who are sergents, oh and a step sister-in-law who's a forensics person (forget the actual title).

oh MrsR I read your news this morning on my phone, but couldn't reply until now I'm back on t'laptop. I am SO SO SO pleased for you. Have been really happy for everyone and their BFPs but you're a extra special case...!!

lia some doctors are shocking; it's not as though you're unfamiliar with the whole birthing game ...

lee am so sorry about your nan... agree with the telling her though. My dad died 4 months before DS was born and I hadn't told him before he got ill as hadn't wanted to worry him (I was working too hard, driving too many miles etc etc) - wish I had told him.

I'm now a SAHM, used to be a senior manager in retail, and got 2 lucrative redundancy pay-offs in the 2 years before DS which have given me this career break; I've been very lucky. Although am having the sort of day so far today when for once I wouldn't mind being back at work..... very trying...

such a great feeling to see PREGANT on a CB Digi....you must be thrilled MrsR

hmm PREGANT? or even PREGNANT...

Thanks boo love you too. Keep getting abit choked today, think its a combination of the obvious and the fact I have no meetings so listening to music while doing my e-mail and document stuff at work and nice tunes keep making me come over all emotional. Trying to be grown up about it though.

lee tell your Nan hon, like MrsR says just whisper it to her. Will mean the world. xxx

Oh cheepz - thinking of you sweetie. Sending you a huge bar of calorie free chocolate. Remember I did offer that you could sort out my fleepit house if you needed keeping busy Seriously, I always think these things have a nasty habit of biting you on the bum every now and then. Bit of a bugg*r isn't it.

Lee - would you feel better if you've told your gran? I'd go with your gut instinct?

VivC - hoping you don't feel pressured really?

Arr jollster a lot of people tell me I'm a special case .

boodleboot I don't know which I like looking at more the 2 (technically 4) pink lines or the word PREGNANT.

cheepz I was thinking about you last night. It was because of you that I took the test this morning. I wasn't going to do it, but then I remembered how you were in the same position not so long ago and how I was practically trying to push you in the bathroom and make you pee on the stick. I'm sorry again. I wish there was something I could do right now to help you/make you feel better.

I'm going to take cheepz lead and go listen to some music whilst cooking tonights dinner.

Ladies,

After my erpc tomorrow how does that work in ttc numbers? What i mean is, dO i count that as day 1? Or do I wait for a period to arrive?

Last time I had ERPC I conceived straight away and didn't ever get a period, just the post op bleed then bingo.

For my conception vits, am counting as day 1 so will see i guess. What does everyone else do?

Also which cycle will it be. Post MMC cycle 1 or back to when we started trying, (for stats)

thank you,

lee agree with everyone about your gran. What a loevly gift to take with her on her final journey.

mrsR i actually have the internet cheapie that gave me my first positive but very faint line...on the 1st Jan....stuck into my diary on that date.....so sad.

liahgen66 I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. I am so lucky that I never had to go down that route .

I'd guess you'd be on the WTF cycle and CD?

Liah - based on my experience post-ERPC, I'd put you down as a WTF cycle, and would start CD1 as the day after the op. Obviously, you might not ovulate on your 'usual' day so worth keeping an eye out for things like EWCM as signs that things might be moving in the right direction.

TheFatLadyScreams - no, not too much pressure. Honest.

Am desperately trying NOT to symptom spot given I think I'm only 8 dpo, but I've definitely had some 'things' which are unusual for me: right-sided twinges yesterday, really itchy nipples today and the fact that for the last two nights running, I've burst into tears at bedtime (both for differing reasons). Oh and frantic yawning at my desk all afternoon, but then that may just be work!

As I said, there's no way I'm counting chickens because it will only lead to disappointment, but it's frustrating to know that on my normal 27 day cyle, AF would be due on Friday. However, as I think I ov'd late, I don't think I'm due until Tuesday...

hi all, thanks for all the kind and thoughtful messages - i have told nanna tho she's not really awake and asked her to look out for this baby and to look out for my two angelbabies up there already..

cheepz sweetheart sorry to hear you finding it difficult. you have been very strong so remember you're fully entitled to a moan here and there and as many wobbles as you need.. we're all here

mrsR how goes those multiple bfps?! i still take mine out of the drawer before bed and have a goo, particularly the one i did more recently which has two smackers of lines!

everyone else thanks for all the support.. whilst i am DEFINATELY hanging on this thread, i've dipped my toe onto the grads thread mainly to spread the moaning about equitably

I also called my epu and accidentally got talking to the surgeon who dealt with me with the last mmc. he was lovely and booked me in for next thurs by which stage i'll be 6+1 by my dates and 7+3 by lmp so hopefully hopefully hopefully i'll see something i want. he did say it would be better to wait longer but i explained my anxiety and he kindly agreed but put a caveat that we might not be able to see a lot.

What does cycle WTF mean?

MrsR congratulations! I'm really pleased for you.

I think I'm going to disappear for a while since after Barrenbrook I appear to be the 2nd longest trying on this thread with no success. May pop in again some point and good luck to all the rest but I'm getting more depressed by seeing how useless my body is at conceiving again every time there's another new bfp on the thread (not that I'd take it away from anyone I just want one too).

For the info I'm a solicitor in the city with a very specialist area.

Good luck to the rest of you.

Liah - it literally means "what the fuck?" Pretty much sums it up really

(Actually, it could well mean something else. Waiting 'til First cycle perhaps? But for me, it will always be what the...!)

Hi ladies

Can I join? I have had 2 MCs , first in September and the second on Christmas Day.

But good news is, I'm on the first day of the WTF cycle!

tigger15 I know what you mean about finding BFP's hard sometimes, I have found this month hard because every BFP reminds me that after 6 months of trying after last mc and some very dark days I finally get pregnant again and mc immediately, and its only been 2 weeks and there have been 4 more BFPs, but although today was hard I know that tomorrow will be better and this thread is all about that.

Of the people who were here since the end of the first thread more are now pregnant than not, and thats good right?? Thats shows it should happen for us all eventually..and Boodle, Lee and MrsR have both been off and back, so its not ben an easy ride. Hope you decide to stick around, after Boodles ectopic she was off for a little while but I'm so glad she came back and I hope you do too.

viv since you, zayja, barrenbrook and tigerbear are all thats left of the original bunch I will kill you if you calmly announce a BFP in the next few days, of course shortly after I will be slapping you on the back and saying whooooo hooo and many congrats.

runfor r u around - you've been quiet this 2ww

zayja and barrenb so we might be the run of Febs?! Or do you reckon these greedy Jan grads have pinched our Feb BFP's too?!

For me - we still haven't managed to put a notch on the bedpost this month. The sumptuous romantic dinner I planned as part of my seduction was unfortunately binned last night because DH is an IT Director and there was a major power failure at his office. He got home at 1, I was asleep in the spare room as had early start for London meeting today! Maybe tonight - although we are both knackered

hopefully don't fret - we are in similar place and I have had mega EWCM but still only high on the CBFM, I only have 2 more of the 10 stickds for this cycle to go, so it may need more if I haven't ovulated by CD16. On my first mc WTF cycle where mc was at 5/3 I had no idea whenI was ovulating as no monitor and the EWCM was in and out all month, and cramps. Fingers crossed for you hon, got to say am loving my monitor this cycle - almost worth the investment just to not be thinking WTF on the WTF cycle.

Liah thank you - when I was feeling sorry for myself earlier I read about the ordeal you are going to have to endure tomorrow and it humbled me. I hope it all goes well and that you are able to find some closure once it is over. Will be thinking of you.

Lee glad you got the early appointment hon, and glad you told your nan, am sure your angelbabies will be well looked after xx

tfls xx

northlondon crossed posts, welcome and sorry to hear that - Christmas Day what a total bummer. If you put your stats we can put you on the list got your cycle and day so just need what number child you are ttc and cycle length

oh, btw mrsr thanks for words, and I am head of department in an IT division at a big healthcare company - dull dull dull, but the pay is good!

Haha Cheepz. I promise that if and when I have any good news to tell, I will whisper it quietly. Besides, I'm resolutely not testing until February, on point of principle. January can't have all of the luck...

I know what you mean though - as another who has been on this thread, then graduated and then sadly come back again, I often wonder when life's going to give me a bloody break.

And welcome NorthLondonChocLover - I'm really sorry you're here, but extremely glad you've found us as we're a lovely bunch. Have you brought some chocolate for us?

xxx

oooh viv hoow could I forget - you had BFP right back at very beginning - even before Boodles I even read about that when reminiscing today

Loving that you are waiting for Feb - kudos to you, besides waiting is good, although waiting as long as I did not so much!

Our time will come, looking at the grads list and looking at all the ladies the majority have not come back, and all have been exactly where we are now.

and Totally is due in a month or so!! Then there will be a Totallys babies thread!! Its for life!!

Can I join? Had my second fairly traumatic miscarriage 2 weeks ago. TTC #1 at the grand old age of 36.
And it sucks at the moment?.

Hi Cheepz and VivClicquot

[takes out a HUGE box of belgian chocs and shares them]

Thanks for the welcome!

Stats : no children, 2 MCs. Day1 of cycle (around 28 days I think)

What a brilliant thread - good luck to all those TTC, hope they will stick.

This thread has made it into the "most active" list today .

Viv, cheepz, BB, Zayja... and everyone else... I wish I could magically conjure BFPs for the lot of you. One reason why this pregnancy is not just happy is that I am so strongly aware of how many others are out there who 'deserve' some good news. You are brave ladies, you are.
