Off you go ladies. Welcome () one and all.

Thanks bunny just noticed your post.....

WestYorkshireGirl · 22/03/2010 20:21

Goodluckbear Hello again. It's been a while. How odd that we seem to follow each other, but reassuring too! I have found periods really awful since - maybe it just reminds you of what you lost and it's odd that after 12 weeks I can still get quite affected by it all. I was fairly sure we had missed the window of opportunity in the first month of TTC, but you still get hopeful and I did do an early test at 30 days as before it took me 4 tests and until day 39 to get a BFP. It's crap having long cycles as it just seems to take ages. Anyway, have started this month well !

Mumsie123 Glad you have been able to get in touch with the Drs today - any more news? How are you feeling?

JulesAbs - Hello!

There was lots of talk of testing today - did everyone's resolve hold out?

WestYorkshireGirl · 22/03/2010 20:26

Allthe8s You can tell I am not an old pro at MN as it would appear I don't understand the stats thing and have given false stats !

Stats are
ttc# (trying to concieve number....) I got that right
UCL (Usual Cycle Length) This too
cycle (1 is from first day of your period) - I thought this was which cycle you are on in terms of TTC - how is this different to -
CD (Cycle Day)

Oh dear, I am all confused (but then it is a Monday)!

Hi all, just got back from a great weekend away with DH,DD and DS. Wow I have missed so much will catch up tomorrow. Welcome to any new people and hope all those that are suffering have a better day tomorrow.
My lovely brother bought us this weekend away together to cheer us up after the mc which was really kind of him. Anyway I thought go for it, new sexy undies etc, etc, make an effort look forward and not in the past.You know what I mean "if this vans a rocking, don't come a knocking" (well thats easier said than done with DS/DD in other room).
That was the plan- Well woke up Saturday morning and there it was RTD, exactly 4 weeks on from ERPC. Have had two days really heavy was everyone else like that? I must admit it does bring it all back to you like some people have said on here. I am pleased though because hopefully things might be returning to normal a bit. Poor DH he was looking forward to some caravan capers but he was also really pleased because he too said we can ttc again now.
So my stats are now
TTC#3 UCL28 CYCLE1 CD3

Brought back some lovely fudge, anyone fancy a bit?
TAKE CARE.X

Unbuffy · 22/03/2010 21:14

Experimenkul chocs still a-gogo - come on, they are really nice really. It's just that I haven't made them before and they're slightly funny shapes... not rude or anything, just a bit squidged. Chilli and chocolate are good together, promise!! Ah well, all the more for me then . Here's the wine for you instead [hands out vast bottle].

MrsG I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo that you are going to see Alice in Wonderland. Our local cinema is very, well, local (50 seats max) and won't be getting it for months. And the next closest is an hour's drive away. Last time I went to the cinema was to see The Dark Knight Returns or whatever the Batman film with the Joker in was called. [self-pitying emoticon] There are down sides to living in the middle of (very beautiful) nowhere... Welsh tv (we do not live in Wales!), no takeaways, closest hospital/big cinema/shopping centre/any supermarket that's not Tesco/train station (except steam) an hour away, etc. Ah well. There's some lovely walks, though. Oh, and lots of sheep when you need them.

[buffy returns head into bottle and backs out of the door waving groggily]

night night all x

Allthe8s · 22/03/2010 21:29

Sorry westyorks for confuzzing you.... I have fuzz head today, bad day....I meant as Jollster said...cycle number - how many cycles have you been trying

xx

Allthe8s · 22/03/2010 21:31

urd glad you had a good weekend away despite RTD and Unbuffy pass the chilli chocs!

Night night xx

ElmMum · 22/03/2010 23:10

It's just all ups and downs, isn't it. Hope you've all had a good evening.

I've been cheered up by a slab of cake from a friend and the final of America's Top Model. Small things...

Night night ladies

littlemiss72 · 23/03/2010 07:05

Morning Girls, Up early eagerly waiting to see the doctor today! Many thanks for your kind wishes. I will of course report back once I've been well and truly fondled

In floods of tears last night watching 'married, single, other' anyone been watching ? good god I don't know where the tears came from but it felt good to have a cry though.

I think we are all at the boobie squeezing, I'm not sure I even notice if I'm doing it now! unbuffy hang on hunni, hope it's good news for you.

Ooh Alice MrsG ya lucky duck, I keep mentioning seeing that film but the subject gets changed rather quickly. Bet it great in 3D enjoy!

Welcome to the newbies, sorry you have found yourselves here we do however offer the best support on the world wide web and often share virtual cakes, wine and tears.

Morning all, hope you are all well and wishing you a bright and sunny day.....good luck littlemiss....

AlbaDeTamble · 23/03/2010 10:00

you wanted some happy news girls... I have some, but only whispering it very quietly as the line was very feint.... (but just dark enough for DH to agree the skiing may be off)

please don't move me down to the grads just yet, it was only a 10miu internet cheapy stick, will confirm with an expensive clearblue at the weekend, if I get that far.....

Goodluckbear · 23/03/2010 10:13

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!! Alba yay!! OMG - BFP heaven.

Okay, okay, get another one and do it again at the weekend so we can start shouting the congrats. Woo hoo Alba!!

Happy days are here!!

xxxxxxxxxxx

thefatladyscreams · 23/03/2010 10:20

[TFLS whispers in a very excited voice] - Alba that is fantastic news. Get thee to a shop and get that clearblue. I got my BFP on an internet cheapie and spent half an appointment trying to convince my acupuncturist that it didn't count. She kept staring at me wisely and saying "a positive is a positive"..... It's very rare to get a false positive.......

Little bit of good news from me - I had my 12 week scan yesterday and it went well. Baby looked fine and my nuchal measurement was great. Reason for posting is that I remember being in floods of tears just before New Year that I was at the end of the road. I'm 41 and trying for #1 so maybe there is hope for us oldies!

Hope the sunshine is with you wherever you are.

Will be popping back in for Alba's update!

urd · 23/03/2010 10:31

Littlemiss 72 Thanks for updating my stats on list, good luck today.

AlbaDeTamble- thats fantastic news, brightened up my day.

Thefatladyscreams- great that your 12 week scan went well, there is always happy times round the corner after heartache, keep popping in with your updates.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Unbuffy · 23/03/2010 10:39

[whispers] Alba that's fabby news! Our twins at last perhaps?! Hope this is the start of another run like the huge one in Feb!

Allthe8s hope you're feeling a bit brighter today my deary. Was thinking of you last night (through madness and chocolate)

Congrats tfls - that's so positive and such good news. Hope the rest of it goes the same boringly well for you! (I do hope that makes sense. If not, I hope you work out what i'm blethering about).

Waves to everybody else, and fingers all crossed for littlemiss

xx

spottysox · 23/03/2010 10:43

Alba yayyyy BFP congrats to you and MrAlba

Hussy cat did have her kittens in the garage, I can hear them mewing but the Hussy won't share. Will have to find them at the weekend so they don't turn into feral devil cats. If MrG doesn't mind sharing the thread pet title Hussy cat and Kits are available for cyber cuddles, although Hussy is very partial to the odd sausage

spottysox · 23/03/2010 10:56

TFLS great to hear your scan went well. Reading positive outcomes from people of a similar age really helps, thankyou.

AlbaDeTamble · 23/03/2010 11:36

omg, unbuffy please don't wish twins for me! I am feeling bizarre zen-like calm this morning... if that's a symptom then I think you should be testing too -- and you can have the twins

thanks for lovely supportive whispers, will try to maintain zen-like calm and not worry too much as this is really really early days, but it's good news so far and I'm going to stay in the moment and enjoy it.

Unbuffy · 23/03/2010 11:43

[buffy passes the incense and rice bowl to Alba]

AlbaDeTamble · 23/03/2010 11:44

[who promptly throws up at pungent smell]

ElmMum · 23/03/2010 11:52

[whispers] congratulations, Alba. Got everything crossed for you!

TFLS - lovely! A happy 12 week scan. Gives me real hope.

xx

Unbuffy · 23/03/2010 12:06

Sickness is a good sign of stickiness, Grasshopper. [makes mystic sticky sign] (not that one. That's disgusting, put it away!)

HappyGirl1 · 23/03/2010 12:11

Alba huge big whispers of congratulations! Delighted to hear some positive news!

TFLS congrats too - great your scan went well!

I'm on Day 26 since MC, ov'd at day 14, cycle usually26-28.. did a test yesterday had a BFN.. desperate to test this afternoon but know I should wait until the morning. Have v v little hope as boobs keep going from huge to not huge, from sore to not sore so it makes no sense. Last time they were just sore the whole time. Weird taste in my mouth which frustrates me cos it makes me want to believe but then I get pains that feels like RTD is on the way. I just give up! I just want to know but just don't feel positive..

Would love if there was a big run though on the thread like February! Fingers and everything crossed though for us all close to testing!

Allthe8s · 23/03/2010 12:14

Well done Alba sending sticky bean vibes!
Lovely new TFLS

SO lovely to have some nice news today ladies!! x
