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!

Lee - yes please stay on here!

MrsGazebo - not sure a head in the fridge would aid conception!

Hopefully - love your theory but I started thread 2 so where is my BFP?? [stamps foot]

MrsR - how are you doing?

RunForTheHills · 21/01/2010 12:51

Blimey, 6 pages to catch up on, have I been gone that long?!

Boodle and Lee

Cheepz sorry to hear your news x

Sadly no SWI going on here, roll on next month

LucyT66 · 21/01/2010 12:55

Oh how exciting to be on that list.

TTC - number one.
This is my fourth cycle.
CD 1

Sorry for ignorance, what's UCL?? If it's longest cycle length then that would be 34.

Many thanks.

Hopefully · 21/01/2010 13:17

Somehow can't believe I'm already on CD 13. Seems like MC was about 4 days ago. Definitely better for time to be flying than sitting still though!

Lucy UCL is usual cycle length. I've altered the stats list to add the info you've given to your name, but feel free free to change your UCL if you want!

Lee!!! Your news has brightened up my day, fantastic, fantastic - sending sticky vibes your way. Please stay here and wait with us.

Welcome LucyT66 - I echo the others, reading this thread has really boosted me over the last few weeks, and sharing it all makes me feel more positive - particularly all these BFPs!!!

Happy Birthday Effilump, hope you get spoilt and have a relaxing evening, big hugs.

Lots of chat here today - can't keep up with you all - I may put a recurring meeting in my diary so I can keep up with the daily goss.

xxxxxxxxxx

thefatladyscreams · 21/01/2010 13:38

Shamelessly nicked this quote off another thread I'm on but it was too apt not to share!

"In the words of Black Adder, may you all be as sticky as a stick insect that has fallen in a jar of honey and been awarded an honorary degree in jam-making"

VivClicquot · 21/01/2010 14:24

Happy birthday Effilump - have a fab day x

I'm already REALLY bored with the 2ww - especially now it's even longer than I originally anticipated, given I probably ov'd on D18 rather than D13/14.

Sarahlou8 · 21/01/2010 14:38

Congratulations lee thats wonderful news! I'm really really pleased for you!

Lucy Welcome! I had a mmc on 17th Nov and have had 2 AF's since, and I haven't had the usual achy boobs or cramps either - not at all and I usually suffer for at least a week beforehand. Is it mother nature's way of saying 'you've been through enough'?

Feeling a bit happier today, day off anyway so have just come back from some well deserved retail therapy.

(And done the food shop)

It's boring in the first 2ww.

LucyT66 · 21/01/2010 15:04

Thanks for the clarification Hopefully.
Goodluckbear - thanks for the welcome. It really feels good to share all this.
Sarahlou8 - also thanks for the welcome. And sorry to hear about your mc. It's hellish really. It's very reassuring though to hear about your symptom-free AFs. I thought there was something wrong with me. Love the thought that it's mother nature's way of saying 'you've been through enough'. Lovely.

Cheepz · 21/01/2010 16:17

g'day all

lucyt welcome and glad you have found your way here

I am away overnight for work in a hotel - bliss, no bathtime, bedtime, tidyingup, laundry etc required of me just a swanky dinner and a movie maybe - or a bath and an early night - can't decide what I want more

Feeling very good all things considered - still have the odd teary moment, but I think its the hormones more than anything else and it seems like this cycle is progressing normally. It will be interesting to see whether the mc has had an impact on timing of ovulation or whether it just treats it like a long cycle and ovulation happens at the normal time. I am thinking ovulation will be earlier than last month and more around CD13 or 14 than 16 or 17 - at least thats what I would have expected if not for the mc so will have to see. Am glad of the monitor now though as CM is all over the place!

Won't be home until tomorrow night and very limited access to internet so probably offline until the - given our thriving community lord knows how manyy pages I will haev to catch up on and maybe some more BFP's

Still feeling so happy for you Lee

Oh and Meita never said, so sory to hear you have been feeling blue. xxx chin up lady, thinking of you

Hopefully · 21/01/2010 21:12

V envious of your blissful night away Cheepz. I have had one night away from DS, which was spent driving a camper van across the country from my parents to ours so we could borrow it for a holiday. DP is very good though and I get plenty of little bursts of me time on the weekend now.

Spoke to my SIL today, and her newborn is apparently sleeping like... a baby. She and I are both stunned by this, having both produced amazing non-sleeping hourly feeders prior to this. I fondly reminisced about seeing every single hour on the clock (i.e. woke at something past 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 etc etc) every single day for at least four days. It may have been longer...

Hopefully · 21/01/2010 21:12

Four days after DS was born, obviously...

Hopefully · 21/01/2010 21:13

And that was night and day.

Can you tell I'm a little traumatised by that?!

LeeWT · 21/01/2010 21:36

oh i hear ya hopefully. my little monkey still doesnt sleep that great and she's three in april. traumatic. bigtime..

well thanks so much for all your messages today.. kept me sane whilst sitting in work trying not to be shellshocked..

and word to the wise. internet cheapys are really not that great. ive been testing every day except yesterday and today i got the faintest whisper of a line. the first response and tesco test i did had undesputable lines and i knew for sure but had i only had the cheapys in the house i still wouldnt know! the cheapys are supposed to be 10miu where first response and boots are 25miu so that means they are prob not even 25 or 50?

just thought i'd warn!

Decided its time to end my bitterness towards the Virgin Mary and her donkey, Its just not worth getting stressed about and when the triplets arrive next Christmas (i ONLY want one, but hey ho, if 3 come along, who am i to complain!) i shall feel nothing but empathy with her having to hop onto a donkey at such a late stage of pregnancy when you have got hemarroids are all hanging out and you cant do your bikini line it must be a hell of an effort for the poor cow.
She should be shaking her fist heavenwards and calling him a bastard for getting her into such a state

Had bloods taken today for phospylipy something or other. Apparently if these are abnormal you then have to just pop a junior asprin.......i cant tell you how fucking angry i will be if thats all ive ever needed to do!!
5 fecking horific, horrendous, soul crushing, heart ripping out of your chest painful miscarriages...all for the want of a junior asprin.....

A work colleague took me to one side and told me that he was very sorry that my uterus had once again let me down today. Well, i laughed out loud at that, really cheered me up!
Every one else just doesnt mention it, and there is just an awful and very definite air of discomfort when i enter a room, strange becuase i am very cheerful about the whole thing and tell them what i told you lot...."ive had more arrivals and departures in my fucking uterus that virgin airways"! some snigger, others just looked shocked and horrored!
Its just my way.

Oha nd while i am complaining, what about all of this shagging palarva! I cant be bothered frankly, im too old for all that carry on. It messes up the lovely clean sheets and im reading a dead good book at the moment. I have to amke the decision every night, yet ANOTHER shag or a chapter of ma good book. Sigh

Will some one just give me a fucking baby please. Im not cut out for all of this, im far too fucking delicate me.

Love to all

tigger15 · 21/01/2010 22:33

Lee congratulations - I'm really pleased for you. Just take it at your own pace. My first pg (ds was the result) I was terrified it would go wrong and refused to buy any maternity closes until it really became necessary and tried not to get any baby things until he was actually born (we borrowed a car seat and moses basket from friends and I got a pack of babygros and vests and nappies to take to hospital).

The second one (in which I mcd) I was far more relaxed because I knew I could do the whole high risk pg thing. I bought some maternity clothes in anticipation, got a lovely pram going free on a freecycle type list and then mcd. Stay here as long as you like. I think the happy bouncy ante-natal threads would drive you crazy.

Sunburnt I love your last post. Had me chuckling throughout. Trust me the constant SWI gets hard whatever your age - I'm not quite 30. I'm thoroughly sick of it and keep on trying to come up with new ideas to stop it being such a chore. Should I ever get pg again (which I rather doubt at the moment) I'll probably try the line of sex can cause miscarriages so I think we should give it a break for at least 3 months. Poor dh. Then again maybe it'll be fun again when it's not SWI.

What does everyone think of including number of miscarriages you've had in the info? I never know when I'm writing to some people whether it's their first (like me) or an awful lot more. Too intrusive or helpful?

tigerbear · 21/01/2010 22:39

Yayyyy!!!! to LeeWT - that's fab news!!! I was beginning to despair of anymore BFP's this month!
Also excellent news re your scan Boodle - you must feel relieved now.

Hello to Lucy

hoops997 · 22/01/2010 00:10

just popped in to say fab news leeWT, so happy for you

LeeWT · 22/01/2010 00:15

Can't sleep & I'm nauseous. I think from nerves more than anything..

I did amuse myself by thinking that I'll be SWOI - shagging withOUT intent .. Hehe

I'm also amused by the number of posts we've had already - were nearly a fifth of the way thru it already!

zayja · 22/01/2010 02:06

Tell me about it lee! - I just posted yesterday and had another 4 pages to read!
Well WOOOOHOOO though, what wonderful news, you've got us all excited - I thought we might see a BFP from you, now what about you TFLS!??

Welcome lucy, sorry to hear of your mc.

Well, started clomid this week so now am hoping for some action - 'bout time!

cheepz, still thinking of you lovely and hoping things go smoothly and are right back to normal for you this month.

Good night all, hope to see another 5 pages and a BFP tomorrow!

Zayja hope the clomid does great things for you!

Tigger I was exactly the same - when I fell pg last time I wouldn't really talk about it, thought it was going to go wrong all the time. Was fine after about 25 weeks, but really paranoid till then, for no real reason. DS was, of coure, fine. This time I was totally blase (despite knowing that it could go wrong), talking about whether to change prams or not, discussing what we needed to buy. And then MC'd...

I'm not toooooo concerned by SWI - I find that the more often I do it, the more often I'm inclined to, which helps. DP is thrilled, which is nice

I've always kind of figured that ebay cheapies can't be that great. Otherwise they wouldn't be.. you know... cheap. Saying that I've not been trying for months and months either last time or this, so my CB bill hasn't added up to too much! Might be tempted if I don't get a sticky PG soon....

SarahMumtoAlex · 22/01/2010 10:11

What a fantastic set of BFP's

Goodluckbear · 22/01/2010 10:18

I've got a quick question - and I apologise in advance that this is gross, I just can't bear to go to my GP!! So....TMI....

So I had the ERPC exactly two weeks ago today, and ever since it I've had diarrhea. (Here you see what I mean about being gross). I've actually lost nearly 2kg in weight since the op, and although I've been eating healthily, I've never lost that much without being really dedicated to the cause (in a cabbage soup diet way). It's like everything I eat isn't really being digested and is just coming out the other end.....it really is!!

Have any of you guys had this after an ERPC? I assumed it was the antibiotics they put me on the first week (as a precaution?). I'd pop a post on the miscarriage forum, but you know, I don't want to be the lady who started the poo thread and all that.

Really want to feel fit and whatnot now, fed up of this!! Thank god it's Friday!

xxxxxxx

SarahMumtoAlex · 22/01/2010 10:30

Sorry bear I've never heard of this, if you're losing weight with it, I really think you should go to the GP. You shouldn't have to suffer this on top of the rest of it
