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!

MrsGazebo · 14/02/2010 12:32

Hello all, I've not disappeared totally.
It's been a hectic week.
I have popped in quickly on the train but my stoopid phone doesn't actually say the name of the posters and I also can't reply so that's a fun game!

This thread moves so fast!
Well done and massssiiiiive quiet jumping up and down cheerings in a very discreet corner for Cheepz Sarahlou and SamB. Muser I'm thinking of you.
Hope you get your answers today.

Malteaser So sorry about your loss, this is a good place to be for support and advice,take it easy.

Alma sorry you're feeling so pants, take your time and don't push yourself.
I'm feeling really down recently and I think it's because, at the time, I put on a brave face and just thought I'd be ok eventually.
It will catch up with you, if you don't give yourself time to get everything straight in your mind.

The amount of times I've been smug and said AF is bang on 27 days, even after ERPC's the most I've waited was 29-30 ?
Mother Nature you Caaaaaauuuuw!
Day 39 in The Gazebo Hoouuusse and Nada, Nowt,Rien,Zilch,Bupkiss!
Tmi-ish alert... Still with the EWCM though?
And boobs are stabby!?
What's the bleedin' deal?
I've poas (2)! Negetory!
Admittedly not recently but D29&30 I think?
I am a little worried that if I am indeed preggers,if only a little, I need drugs straight away for my pesky NK cells.
I'm also worried that I've somewhat over-indulged this week as it was my B'day and we've been out several times for drinks and meals.
Slightly even more worried that Fri night I really didn't feel like drinking that much, and people were lining them up for me.

To be fair I'm feeling a little loopy overall at the mo and got in a tizz when MrG wanted to discuss what colour to paint the kitchen walls.
I seem incapable of making any sort of decision. No matter how menial.
I offically do not like this game anymore and would like to start again please!

I'm just going to the corner for a quick rock.

Muser · 14/02/2010 12:55

I think, MrsG, that you need to go POAnotherS. At least to put your mind at rest.

AlbaDeTamble · 14/02/2010 15:02

MrsG, I echo Muser, probably time for another test, scary as it may be. Best to know. Good luck? And belatedly happy birthday!

Malteaser, sorry missed you earlier, this thread is, sadly, so busy just now. Taking it easy is, in my experience, absolutely the best thing to do. So sorry you found yourself here...

Muser, hope you don't have to wait long now for answers [where is that frustrated face emoticon???]

MrsGazebo · 14/02/2010 15:51

Cheers me dears... will do, tomorrow, maybe,
Alba Thanks for the Birthday wishes. Soooo sorry bout mis-spelling your name, just re-read and realised
I am a muppet!

Shirley POAS would have shown BFP on D30???
Just want to start AF and get my dates right.
ERPC was 8th Jan. etc,etc,etc

MrG is doing a lovely Chinese tonight for a few of us ,to celebrate Chinese New Year, we're not a slushy couple so we're not doing Valentines.
I prefer all the attention on Moi a few days before for Hefty befty
Although I did get Tea & bacon Barm in bed this am, and have had total control over Crap top whilst scoffing Thortons chocs so He's a sweetie deep down
We are supposed to be SWI over the next few days but that would be if I was normal and at the mo... I'm far from it!

31 and really thought I was gonna be pregnant for this one.
I have to stop measuring my life like this... it's not healthy when the date/occasion passes and I'm not
Bought a maaasssiiive box of washing powder a few weeks back and caught myself thinking "I'm gonna be pregnant by the time we finish this"
I need a little chat with men in white coats myself.

MrG is getting itchy now as he's not played Champ Manager today so I may have to relinquish the crap top now .......
after I've checked FB of course

Curlylox · 14/02/2010 16:31

Gosh struggling to keep up with this thread but determined to do so especially as I'm off from work this week, doesn't help that my head is all over the place. Sorry in advance for being a bit thick but please would someone explain the abbreviations - I know what TTC and EPU stands for and thats it. BFP? CD? WTF? ERPC? OPK? POA?

LeeWT · 14/02/2010 16:44

Mrs G you often obulate late after erpc and hence your cycle can be anything from 3-8 weeks, mine was 6 weeks.

So there's a chance u r pregnant but so as not to get your hopes up there's also a chance it's just a long cycle.

I wasn't post-mc this cycle and I didn't get a bfp til cd37 because I ov late..

Let us know how you get on and fingers crossed for u..

I too am concerned for mrsrigby pls let us know if u r ok xxx

OP posts:
liahgen66 · 14/02/2010 16:59

curly

BFP - big fat positive, (pg test)

CD - cycle day, (start day period begins and count from there)

WTF - What the fuck??!!

ERPC - Evacuation (of) remains (of) product (of) conception. Procedure similar to D&C

OPK - Ovulation predictor kit

POAS - Pee on a stick

tigerbear · 14/02/2010 18:52

Evening everyone!
Sorry in advance for the rant, but I am feeling very over emotional and irritable! Stupid body tricked me by making AF late (only by one day!), however my mind started to go into overdrive, thinking 'this is it!' - HAA! No such luck - I THINK AF has arrived - not entirely sure, as it's such a tiny amount, but I think it's fair to say that it's not going to happen for me this month.
Am in a foul mood with poor DH too

Unbuffy · 14/02/2010 19:12

DH working today. I'm visiting parents without him and doing rounds of Outlaws with DD. Lurking with intent as having to do the 'yes, yes, fine' thing. Moving up the List with no sign of ov yet, let alone owt else. I think. Oh well, happy valentines all, and good luck mrs g.

Curlylox · 14/02/2010 20:14

Thanks liahgen66 so WTF doesn't have a double meaning as have seen it our list/register i.e. Polyanna TTC#6 UCL27 WTF CD?

Pollyanna · 14/02/2010 21:54

I don't think there is a double meaning Curly - I am in the wtf cycle as I am 14 days now after a natural mc and have no idea where (if anywhere) I am in my cycle, so just waiting and seeing.

hello Malteser and welcome to the thread no one wants to be on! I am a few days in ahead of you as I had a mc on 1st Feb. Now just waiting for things to settle down - hormones and emotions have been all over the place, but I do feel alot better than I did a couple of weeks ago now.

Cheepz · 14/02/2010 22:57

there is wifi in scotland thank god, no AF haven't done more tests but am slowly accepting am pg, cd32 is the day i had mc last month so by tomorrow morning will be past that milestone, fingers crossed - if i get to that milestone might feel bold enough to move grads list

have read everything and seems like everyones having a crappish time - mrsg test again if you are in some doubt, tiger sorry hon - thats pants.

everyone who has said congrats - albeit quietly - thanks

to everyone having such a crap time, have been there, could be there again soon, feel your pain,

love to all

VivClicquot · 15/02/2010 09:19

Morning everyone,

Looks like it's been a busy weekend on here, so hope you're all doing okay.

tiger - sorry it's been shitty for you.

muser - I'm thinking of you lots and hope they get a bloody wriggle on and get to the bottom of it for you.

mrsgazebo - doll, you never fail to make me laugh - "negatory" - hahaha. I know how you feel though as I've always been such a smug cow with my perfect 27 day cycle, and even after my ERPC and after losing Gracie, I never went longer than a calendar month before having a period. Last month - 34 days. Brilliant. Just hang on in there x

As for discussing when to SWI with your other half, we do discuss it and work out what days we should have an early night. However, my DH currently seems terrified that he's going to use up all his precious sperm on the wrong day so vetoed any Valentine's Day action. Bastard

To be fair, I can see his point - got my first High on the Clearblue Monitor on Saturday and so had a nice Saturday morning lie-in... Then another High yesterday, so he said he didn't want to waste any in case I get my peak today or tomorrow. Brilliant. Sometimes I think science has a lot to answer for...

Actually - a question for all you monitor users if I may. Got another High this morning so that's three days running now. How many High days did you get on your first month of using the monitor? I know not everyone gets a peak as it's trying to get to know your cycle but am just curious...

Much love and kisses to all
xxx

Effilump · 15/02/2010 10:25

More good news on here, congrats cheepz
Hope everything has settled down for sam and sarah I have heard you can have a little breakthrough bleed around the time af would have been due. Hope your both ok, end everyone else too! Nothing much to report myself, still scared to death and hardly daring to believe im pregnant again, occasional symptoms, tingly boobs, nausea, comes and goes, dont usually have much before the 6wk mark anyway though. Counting the days until I have a scan, if I get that far of course. Havnt bothered to go to doctors yet, figured i'd make an apt for next week.
Hope everyone has a lovely day.

littlemiss72 · 15/02/2010 18:32

Hello girls, hope your all keeping well.

Valentines evening is still a bit of a blur.. I drank far too much and got all emotional, ruined the big surprise proposal I asked DP again this morning had he.. he had it wasn't me dreaming at all.

He said it was something when I was pregnant he thought of however still thought we should get married despite our little set back, bless him!

Had today off work as today would have been our 12 week scan emotions are all over the place. Happy to be engaged however sad because I'm not pregnant.. staying off the jolly juice as it's doing me absolutely no good.

SWI going well, every other day as some have also mentioned. Smashing fun

Goodluckbear · 16/02/2010 07:59

Congratulations on your engagement Littlemiss!! Wow, a Valentine's Day proposal, romantic. Your DP sounds lovely.

Hope yesterday went as well as it can....

Congrats again!!

xxxxxxx

Cheepz · 16/02/2010 08:31

Finally confident enough to move to grads list

Did test this morning and it was quick and unequivocal

I am determined to just try and be positive and not worry too much, I am past the point I mc'd last month so one more milestone to go on that front which will be next weekend

hope everyone is doing ok

viv on the first month I had 4 highs before the peak and normal months I have 2 - 3

effi thanks for congrats

littlemiss thats wonderful for you

just1moreplease · 16/02/2010 08:41

congrats littlemiss

well done for getting past that 1st milestone cheepz just take it one day at a time and im sure you will be fine.

cd 30 here, tested sat bfn. all previous pg's have shown + at least four days early so not holdong out much hope. will test again tomorrow if no af.

hope everyone else is well.

xx

VivClicquot · 16/02/2010 09:14

Ahhh congrats littlemiss - as a newlywed myself, I can tell you that being married rocks

And yay for cheepz - time to think positively now, hon

D14 for me, and another High on the Clearblue. Am quite pleased as we're out for DH's sis' birthday tonight and I don't know if we'd have been able to sneak anything in (as it were) if I'd got a Peak.

Love to all xx

SarahMumtoAlex · 16/02/2010 10:05

Congrats littlemiss I too am a big fan of marriage, being with my husband makes everything better. Sounds like your soon to be DH is a real sweetie

CONGRATS CHEEPZ now we can finally shout it. well done getting past the first milestone, hope the rest come as quickly as they can.

I've been spotting since yesterday, AF may arrive today or maybe tomorrow. Since my last mc I always spot now, never did before so it always feels like a repeat of the mc. 'just a bit of spotting' and the agony of hope.

I'm going to keep posting here, but I'm also going to look for or start a thread for those of us who are stopping ttc or thinking of stopping. I know I can't go on for much longer, but the thought of stopping also opens new areas of grief for the mc. Everyone here is very supportive but I think that's a different journey.

Muser · 16/02/2010 10:14

A proper big congrats to Cheepz, hoping for a nice smooth pregnancy for you.

Sorry to hear AF is coming Sarah and you're thinking of stopping. Wishing you strength to do whatever is right for you.

I am still waiting for my scan tomorrow to find out exactly where this mysterious pregnancy is. I am hoping we finally get answers so we can move on.

SarahMumtoAlex · 16/02/2010 10:35

Muser I'm so sorry this is draggin on for you. I do hope tomorrow's scan sorts out what's going on and you can move forward.

Also to confirm that I'm on CD1 again, so could someone update me when the list is posted next.

AlbaDeTamble · 16/02/2010 10:56

congratulations LittleMiss! Here's to you needing a lovely maternity style wedding dress (I had one, married when I was 7 months pg with DS...) and to repeat Viv and SarahMum -- marriage really is great, these past few weeks really have brought us even closer, isn't it strange the good stuff you can get from bad stuff happening? Oooh, that's just made me feel so much more positive (my scan was supposed to be today, so I've had a bad morning)

Cheepz can we shout congratulations now?

SarahMum so sorry for your situation now, that's

and Muser, I can't stand waiting for anything, really tightly crossed fingers that you'll get some answers at last
