AF came this afternoon so maybe my cycle is 26. Who knows who cares, does it make a difference-no.

Sunburnt I read an inspiring but awful story in the evening standard yesterday about a 48 year old woman who had been trying for a baby for 14 years. Miscarriage, failed IVF attempts, failed surrogacy attempts and finally a completely natural pregnancy and healthy boy. www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23796434-mothers-miracle-boy-after-14-years-trying-to-give-b irth.do
I'm still not sure whether I am inspired or horrified that anyone could put up with that much. I couldn't.

Cheepz I also have bad veins and a hospital with a regular need for my blood. Recently they've been hitting either nerves or tendons I'm not sure which but it feels like an electric shock and your body convulses. One guy did it to me in the hand and I (reasonably) refused to let him touch me again. Since they really needed my blood as I was quite ill the registrar offered to do it but couldn't find a vein. To try and relax me he offered me a deal - 3 goes and if he didn't succeed on the 3rd I could have whatever I wanted. So I requested the right to leave the hospital (not in his power). It worried him enough to manage it on the 2nd go

Morning all xx

Well yesterday wasn't so bad. Had a lovely birthday dinner at Gaucho with DH involving buckets of steak and red wine. Although also had a few lump-in-the-throat moments, especially when a couple of my friends texted to say they were thinking of me, which was lovely of them as I hadn't expected them to remember.

However, the weird and wonderful world that is my cycle threw up something interesting yesterday. As you know, I'd worked myself up into a bit of a state at the end of last week when the Clearblue Digi was not smiling at me, and so convinced myself that I must have ov'd early. I last did a test on Sunday (D16) and that was negative too so decided there and then to stop testing.

While at work yesterday, I was getting twinges on my right hand side and lots of EWCM when I went to the loo so when we got home from dinner, I drunkenly decided to POAS. And the bloody thing only went and at me. DH looked horrified as we were both quite pissed and hadn't reckoned on being required to do any physical activity...

Anyway, hope you're all okay this morning. Love to all xx

viv hope you and DH overcame full bellys and SWI!! Love Gauchos, fantastic steaks but doesn't exactly leve you feeling up for a shag was that the one off Regent St - or wlsewhere - thought you were not London based...

can't believe I am halfway up the list already (although skewed by ??? people at bottom

Monitor asked me to POAS this morning and reading was low, as it should be so thats reassuring me that I am pretty much back to normal

Am on a real mission at the mo - sorting out stuff that has just been hanging for the longest time, odds and ends like packing up a parcel, sorting out some mending, organising a haircut and so on, but it feels good to clear the decks so to speak to focus on all the big stuff

DS was so lovely last night, when he went to bed he said 'Mummy went ospital in mornin' and I said yes honey to see the doctor, so he said 'as Mummy got sore tummy till' and I said no its much better, and he said 'Dats good, I love you Mummy' and gave me a big hug - bless him for remembering that I had told him about Mumys sore tummy and he wanted to check I was ok.

mrsr - think Poppyisapain, namechanged to Fedupandhateful on list for next time. You are coming up to test time yourself surely - how are you, any indications?

lee hope you ok in limbo this morning

tfls and sarahMTA what news

and where in the hell is barrenb

Morning all,

Glad to hear that yesterday wasn't too bad for you Viv and the possibility of a red wine baby maybe on the horizon
I'm led to believe they are laid back and have excellent circulation.

Thanks for adding me to the list MrsR who knows what'll happen this month but we can but try

Tigger Owwwchhh! Thought I was bad.
You win!
My 3rd ERCP the Anethesitist (sp?) really struggled to get the canula in for the GA and must've just got a small vein.
My last memory before I went under, was me screaming AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH that hurts!!!!!!
The pain from my finger tips to my shoulder was horendous.
Her face was a picture!

Update on me, I'm actually feeling quite shit!
Bit annoyed really as I thought I was doing well (bloody hormones!)
Still off work, so not got to contened with much apart from surfing the net and catching up with CBB (I know ,I'm sorry)
Even the poor cat (who I love dearly) is getting it both barrels.
Don't know if it's early(?) PMT , the fact that I "just had a feeling" last night and MrG zonked out before his head hit the pillow, or I'm just generally feeling pants overall.
To add to the pants feeling I got up early with MrG after not sleeping very well and whilst making a cuppa he came into the kitchen opened the bin and hovered a scan picture that we'd got a few weeks ago and said "You don't want this, do you?"
It was the one he'd asked the Consulatant for, (I had the one with the measurements in my file, which I've put away)It was the one he'd been carrying around with him in his wallet,the one he'd been showing to anyone who stood still for long enough.
It just sent me over the edge all of a sudden.
It was not even two weeks ago.
I know he cares and wanted this baby as much as me and I could never, ever fault him for anything as he's been nothing but wonderful and supportive as always and I know we will have another and be able to go through this journey together to the end but those words really hurt me.
Part of me knows it's a just a picture but we've never got a picture before as things normally go wrong at around 4-6 weeks.
He's desperately sorry and it was 5 mins before he had to leave for work but has called twice and sent me 3 texts since, as I was upset when he left.

Just wanted a little rant to get it off my chest and ask AIB(a wee bit)U?

Oh, fab! Just got a letter from Hospital that they also send to Docs.
Very matter of fact(suppose it has to be)
The bit that got me was the Consultant put that " I have tried to persuade her not to give up as I still think her next pregnancy could be successful."
This is our 6th MC.
Wasn't aware we gave the impression were "giving up"

Sorry for the self pittying rant, I'm going to eat some chocolate from MrG's selection box with a cup of tea and calm down.

hi girls

Boodlebean {just the one....} is in the right place and had a good strong heartbeat....

can't explain how relieved we were when the little peanut winking away on the screen....apparently ov'd off my right good side. SOOOOO RELIEEEEVED.

will have 12week scan on 1st march.

Any news lee?

YEEAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!
I'm so happy for you Boodle
Go Boodlebean!

Hello ladies,

just checking in briefly (I see you missed me ). TBH I have been reading along all the time but I have been feeling really low for a week or so and didn't want to come here all moany and whiney. Why is it that sometimes when we aren't well, we make it worse by feeling guilty about it?

Anyways, I'm really sorry for the difficult times everybody seems to be going through, and in awe of the strength you all seem to have.

Won't catch up with everyone - will just say "as cheepz said" .

Midwife appointment last week was ok, a bit boring actually, mainly paperwork. The only excitement ensuing when the student midwife failed to extract blood from me... they had to fetch the phlobotomist (sp?) who equally failed. I was lying down because I faint when I'm upright when blood is taken. They made me sit up in the hope that more blood would be forthcoming. So I fainted. What did they expect, I wonder?

Soooo.... I hope you all have great SWI (Viv - glad you finally got a smiley), and wish the best of luck to those approaching testing time. And may AF be so kind and appear rapidly for those who did not conceive this cycle.
And, of course, sticky thoughts to Jollster, Boodle and Cake!

boodle that is such good news!

Another one dashing in very quickly. Haven't had time to read properly so will pop back tonight. But just wanted to say yipeeeeeee doo dandy to boodle. Thats absolutely fantastic news my dear. Lovely to see you meita - you've been really missed!

Sorry to post and dash - catch up properly later.

Aw Boodle, that's ace news.

Cheepz - we're in Manchester so have a Gaucho here too. I'm hopeful that a rare fillet steak and a few glasses of Malbec mean that our iron and protein levels were high at the very least...

My only concern is that if I've ov'd on Day 18 and the SWI was successful, does this mean I'm going to have a shorter-than-normal luteal phase, or will my cycle be longer this month? (Bearing in mind I'm usually 27 / 28 days, regular as clockwork). Guess only time will tell....

boodle that's simply BRILLIANT and am also delighted it's just one bean... I would have been far too green to be civil if it was twins!

meita, so remember that being totally underwhelmed with my first midwife appointment... and snap on the blood thing! Although got a bit better through my pregnancy with DS as I am RhN and had to have anti-D and lots of other blood tests as borderline diabetic so sort of got used to the pricks... BUT at my first nuchal at Kings I stupidly didn't insist on lying down, and then agreed to move too quickly, hence fainting in the corridor - CLASSY!! Sorry you've been low - hope feeling sunnier in your world now.

Hope everyone else ok, SWI with bells on and not too "licking the windows" if in the 2ww.

Hope I haven't tempted fate; all my jeans were dirty or still wet this morning, so had to get a maternity pair out of the loft to take DS to music.... ooooo, had forgotten HOW comfy they are . Worrying how they fit so well already...

busy at work so not much time but just had to say so thrilled for you boods xxx go boodlebean go

Congrats Boodle, that's bloody brilliant!

We are SWI (without the bells on. No kinky business here ), but will actually soon be on 2WW, assuming I actually OV at a faintly normal time this month after MC.

Viv I randomly OV late very occasionally, and the result is normally AF being a day or two later than normal.

I have done nothing today. It's ridiculous. DS has had a whale of a time dismantling the place and I have gormlessly followed him round (he doesn't like me actually playing with him. I suspect I do it all wrong).

Fantastic news boodle it had me in tears reading. I hope these next few weeks pass quicker as a result, seeing the heartbeat is such a good sign.

Good luck viv I've heard the relaxation of a few drinks can actually help.

No news from me, been carrying my mooncup in my pocket just in case but really no change since yesterday.

I'm hosting a book club tonight for the first time and I just know I'll be all distracted, wish me luck

posted a big message on my iphone, then someone rang and i lost it!

mrsG hope you are ok.. its hard when youre not at work to get a grip on life but then you need the rest too.. hope things improve and as for your DH - MEN!! my dh is really the sweetest man on earth but GOD i could KILL him sometimes. they dont get it hon, but we do, so stick with us!

boodlebean you go go go! delighted! similarly i would have had to overcome twin envy but i'd have done it for you!

meita sorry you're feeling low. dont feel you cant talk to us though!

x

LeeWT thank you for your support, back to work Tue so I'll have to pull myself together soon and wean myself off MN
It was a wobble, took me by suprise really as I thought I was doing quite well!
Feeling better now, do you think IBU?

Good luck for tonight Sarah Hopefully your DS sounds like he's had a ball, wish he could come here and do the same, there's a few things in my house that need dismantling.
I could watch him whilst you're SWI

MrsG I'd be prepared to hire him out for a very reasonable rate

MrsG thanks for the win - I hope you never have the nerve experience. I used to be reasonably blase about blood tests thinking what's the worst that could happen a few hits and collapsed veins until the first guy got me.

I don't know what to say about your dh. If it was mine I'd probably freak too. Saying that everyone has different ways of coping with things and as mine told me my mc affected him too just differently and he felt he couldn't talk to me about it as I was too upset initially.

MrsR where's the hugs emoticon?

Boodle so glad to hear good news. Hope it continues.

BOODLE yeh wonderful news fingers crossed...{fsmile]

Hi to everyone else....

Hi to MRSG

Seriously. tomorrows cd38!! wtf?

on the upside i joined the gym tonight trying to lose weight so i'll be a leeetle bit smaller to start with when i do get that bfp! i lost four pounds since xmas and im onto my next target which is half a stone off by end march!

mrsG its hard going back to work but strangely the routine helps. after my second mc i took 6 weeks off and i got faaar too used to sleeping all the time and surfing the net. absolutely dreaded going back but actually it sorted me out!

mrsR you ok honey?

right pls cross your fingers for af arriving tomor (never thought i'd say that but in the absence of a bfp i'll take it!)

Blimey, so many posts to catch up on. I feel like a student as I've even written a crib sheet so I don't forget anyone (damn, bound to forget someone now so sorry in advance]!

Lee - I'm on day 29 here and still no AF or temp dip so POAS again (BFN of course). I really take my hat off to you - CD 38 is just really, really unfair. Stamping my foot in impatience for you!

Glad you had a nice holiday (and the house was safe) tigger.

Well done Sarahlou and goodluckbear for dealing with your friends' news. I found myself getting pissed off that even a character on the Archers is pregnant - but hadn't thought about the Virgin Mary Surnburntats - you did make me laugh with that one. On a more serious note, I do know someone who had 5 m/cs and now has a very healthy young toddler Sunburnt. There does seem to be no rhyme or reason....

Boodle - I've just bought some more preseed but maybe I should ditch that and use the Jedi mind trick instead! Now egg, now sperm, boodle has something to say to you!

VivC - hope you're doing OK today. Steak and red wine sound a winning ticket and the face eventually turned up! I'm another one who thinks you will probably have a slightly longer cycle to compensate.

Louisesh - re your appointment. Keep chasing - drives you mad doesn't it.

Hopefully - your SWI has been adopted! Must try it on DH - not sure he would interpret the "with intent" in the same way!

Cheepz - blimey the vampires. Hope you've got some blood left. Can you come round and sort out our house, pretty please, whilst you're in this organised mood???

SarahMumtoAlex - hope yesterday went OK?

Feeling very dim but can't work out who Fedupandhateful is.

Yes where is barrenb?

MrsGazebo - take it easy on yourself. I would have lost it at the scan picture comment - you are not BU, these bloody m/cs are. Sending you chocolates in case the selection box is empty. I misread your comment to hopefully and thought you were offering to come and watch her DH SWI - so was even more at hopefully's offer to hire him out at a reasonable rate

Meita - why are you feeling low my sweetie? Feel free to ignore but please don't feel that you can't come on here and moan and whine - we all do! Hope you're feeling better and not working too hard. at blood test description! I found my midwife quite scary. Boring sounds good!

Jollster - at your maternity jeans fitting so well!

Just hope this posts OK as I can't face retyping it!

As I lie in bed writing this, i am wearing a VERY uncomfortable nose plaster thing that's supposed to stop me snoring. Though I'd give it a go so I don't wake up finding DH muttering obscenities whilst moving to the spare room..

I KID U NOT - Dh is lying beside me snoring like a TRAIN! Maybe I'll slip one of the plaster things on him while he's asleep lol

Well, said goodbye to the women from the book club, went to the loo to see spotting. So tomorrow is CD1, at least my body is clear with the signs.

I must say this group is helping already, so thanks ladies
