So, I thought I'd take it upon myself to kickstart the new thread. As the title suggests, this is a wonderful home full of the bravest, funniest and most inspirational women on Mumsnet, who are always ready to lend an ear and a virtual glass of wine.

The new thread is kicked off with 3 bfps in 3 days, so here's to more love and luck along the way

Happy come and keep me company on the grads thread - we can hold hands and I can stop lurking on this thread and stalking keeping an eye! It would be good to have another early preggers bod, they all seem much more biggerer and past all that. Very nice though!

Slightly scared look at gollum dancing round a wooden spoon and pretending it's my tummy... eek

I'm off to buy a test.. at home (working of course) again today as I'm still feeling very crampy and have no idea what my body is doing! At least if I test I will know either way, never was late before erpc however who knows what all this have done to my cycle. MUST NOT GOOGLE.. is my tip of the day.

barrenbrook · 07/04/2010 12:21

littlemiss have you tested yet??????

littlemiss72 · 07/04/2010 14:29

Hiya barren not yet.. got one for the morning. I don't hold out much hope really as I don't feel pregnant iyswim. Last time I didn't need to test I just knew. Just feel that because I'm late I should at least find out.. a little apprehensive as I be in a pickle whatever

HappyGirl1 · 07/04/2010 14:44

Best of luck Littlemiss hope you get good news .

Cheepz · 07/04/2010 15:22

welcome scotch 36!!!! wow although we count from most recent mc so 4 for you or it gets too demoralising! I'll have a gin and slim if your buying!

slimy what a load of arse - I have had 3 and have DS but still entitled to tests on NHS - go yell at someone! The guy who did my ERPC said to take baby asprin the minute I am pg again as it can't hurt and I have had the sticky blood tests after 2nd mc (friendly doctor who had 7mcs and understood need to do something) which came back negative - he just said do it anyway!

littlemiss did you try straight after erpc? i have been advised to wait but would be interesting to know! hope your test is a goodun either way

hola - hope all going well over there and give my love to the laydees

managed treadmill last night and some bench dips to try and counter bingo wingage... will be doing again tonight even though am not apparently suposed to excercise after eprc for a few weeks!

having a good day, thinking about changing jobs as old boss called me to say sorry about bad news and did i want to go work for him - guarentees I would get pg and have sucesful outcome if I give up my job and maternity benefits and go someplace new where I am entitled to nothing, but fuck it seems like its worth a punt and the change would do me good ... time to invoke sods law perhaps

littlemiss72 · 07/04/2010 15:34

Hi Cheepz good new to offered a job, go for it woman!

This is my second cycle after erpc, I didn't see no point waiting the suggested three months however I was advised of nothing so that's just what others have been told.

I'm thinking of hitting the gym again today but aching a little from yesterday, worse case it will loosen up me limbs a bit Good for you giving it a whirl.!

Cheepz · 07/04/2010 15:52

thats what I am going to do littlemisss - he told me just to wait one cycle until next RTD and then try again if I feel ready which I am sure I will!

littlemiss72 · 07/04/2010 16:25

feck feck feck I have a very very faint fecking line!! Why oh why did I POS in the afternoon!!!!!

Sorry for the rant, as you were ladies

Cheepz · 07/04/2010 16:27

small whoop for littlemiss thats how they always start - faintest of faint lines small quiet congratualtions might be in order for you missus

littlemiss72 · 07/04/2010 16:50

I've been in every room under every light and by every window.... faint line, have to do it all again tomorrow or hold off another day if I can

zayja · 07/04/2010 16:50

Yea littlemiss, was just gonna post that I've been feeling the same, still do! Crampy, backache etc. Now you've got that little sign, isn't it exciting!

Big wooooot to barrenb too! So thrilled for you as it's been a looong time coming!

Cheepz, the job offer sounds tempting, always nice to work for someone who cares - benefits can weigh on your mind, but I'm sure you'll come to the right conclusion!

welcome freezing and scotch, sorry you've got to be here but glad you found the best place for support after mc! playing, ss far as I know ewcm is always a good fertile sign. scotch, I know you've got a lot of time invested in ttc, and it's easier said than done, but I highly recommend un-obsessing about it. This month was the first time I let go of it and started to concentrate on being happy and healthy and got a bfp. If it happened for you recently, it can happen again!

Sorry to hear af got you viv chin up and gear up for next month - it's all you can do. Well that, and have a few drinks

Slimyak, I would check with doc before taking baby aspirin. I was taking it last year and it made me spot for 3-4 days before my period. Just asked nurse if I should go on it now with bfp and history of mc, she said no (but they have prescribed progesterone).

Well, I'm not gone for good, but feeling as I should mosey on to grads thread soon - will be checking in on you gals! XXOO

randomimposter · 07/04/2010 16:50

welcome scotch
whooop whooooooop very quietly littlemiss

must go and peel some spuds - will pop back later

VivClicquot · 07/04/2010 17:40

Awwww littlemiss - a line is a line is a line honey. A very quiet whoop whoop from me too.

And zayja - while we'll miss you on here, I'm pleased you're feeling optimistic about everything. Make sure you do pop back in from time to time.

As for me - I'm quite excited about tomorrow morning's acupuncture appointment. I'm going to be the epitome of zen when I log on here afterwards...

Hi Ladies

I am just back from my surprise spa break and am very relaxed! DH even booked us superior rooms and booked me a facial so he has lots of brownie points! Am away again tomorrow till the weekend, but thought I would drop in and see what's been happening in my absence (and there's been a lot of action!)

Welcome to the newbies.
Barrenbrook congrats on your BFP!
Happygirl glad you are through your latest milestone.
Littlemiss possible exciting news, will hope tomorrow brings more news!
jollister misread your post and thought you said 'pee on some spuds!'

Something interesting happened to me today - I felt cwet queasy in the car and I was so tired on the way home I couldn't stay awake. These are not normal things for me... DH remarked first that this might be the sign of something, but I am too nervous to write anything down in case I've got it all wrong.... The reason I think this may be significant is that when I was PG before, I experienced extreme tiredness about 8/9 days after SWI which was just after a bad car accident. I did a test which was negative and put it down to the trauma of the accident. I did another test 5 days later which was negative. 7 days later when I was on day 39 & I had sore boobs, I tested again and it was positive. So, I may have reason to be hopeful, but it could all end in tears! We'll just have to see - I have cooked brown rice with my chili tonight just in case to be healthy!

Will be back soon!

WestYorkshireGirl · 07/04/2010 19:00

clearly I am so relaxed and tired I can't spell - I should have written 'I felt quite queasy in the car"!

hippychick66 · 07/04/2010 19:16

westyorkshiregirl Thats it girl - you be positive., I'm definitely going for that approach and I'll deal with the disappointment when/if it comes. Come join me in being positive .

Cheepz I was told to wait one cycle after my EPRC. We weren't sure if it was simply for dating purposes but decided to go with it. I also had an idea that the lining of the womb can be a bit thin after an EPRC and I didn't want to get preg and then lose it cos the lining wasn't right, we felt that would be too awful. I must say though that I cannot remember where i heard/read that bit about the lining - so don't quote me! Good luck when you are ready to ttc again. You are one brave and strong woman .

Scotchontherocks · 07/04/2010 19:28

Thanks for the welcomes, ladies.

Tentative congratulations littlemiss.

Gins are definitely on me!

Gi1da · 07/04/2010 19:41

Gosh! A sotto voce whoop whoop for LittleMiss! Love the image of you going round the house checking the test in different lights . A line is a line is a line!

Waves to Scotchontherocks & Freezingmyarseoff - ahoy!

WestYorks ooooooooooooooooohh exciting! Can't say you didn't put the effort in! And top marks to your DH for pampering you.

Viv enjoy your treatment. Big OM to you!

Cheepz how lovely to be offered a job without asking - top compliment. And sod's law of course to ensure imminent duffation.

Waves at Unbuffy - howya doin Dufferoo?

Hello to everybody else Ooo that's quite tiring. Don't want to exhaust my gin lifting wrist..

randomimposter · 07/04/2010 19:50

WYG dontcha know POAStick is SO last year... now it's more reliable to POASpud.... glad you had a lovely spa break. Would LOVE one of those myself. DREAMY!

Gilda, loving the relaxed state... tres chilled. And get you with your linguistic prowess... all flash on us!

Hi to all

clareanna · 07/04/2010 19:58

littlemiss !!! eeek!!!! ,said in quiet mouse way> I knew it!!!! those pesky cramps - exactly what I had last time - fingers (and toes) crossed for tomorrow's test - crack open the CB Digital I say

Viv and Joll i'll be v interested to hear how your treatment goes - I've been looking for an acupunturist for a while for a shoulder problem plus fertility.. in fact my list is so long I think I'll look like that pinhead bloke from hellraiser during the treatmet (livin' in the 80s...)

urd hope you are OK - thinking of you.

WestYorkshiregirl spa and a facial?! That man is obviously after one thing!!! just as well it's on the cards only joking - what a treasure - could he run training sessions for other DHs?!

gi1da the sun is coming back this weekend - have been reliably informed by DH.

Scotch welcome to the thread - just seeing your name has started me having unclean thoughts about a bottle of wine - must resist schoolnight temptation....

As for me, CBFM says go go go which is earlier than I would have predicted by my usual cycle - it could just be being ultra cautious, but coupled with my new appreciation of all things egg white related I think it could have a point so we'd better get cracking - woo hoo!

Allthe8s · 07/04/2010 19:59

Ladies ladies ladies new (welcome) and old (waves like crazy).....hope you are all well this evening : )

Forgive me for not name checking and apologies for my lack of attendance I haven't been on much had a little bit of a crappy week/fortnight so have been laying low not wanting to drag you all down!

In my low-ness, I decided to go against my consultants advice rightly or wrongly and am now in 2ww territory and I am hoping it goes by quickly. Forgive me if I stay away and lurk but I need to keep the pressure cooker lid on!

I am pleased to see some more BFPs!!!!!!!! A LINE IS A LINE!!!! Chuffed for you ladies and it's nice to see you still around Unbuffy : ) Keep us posted!

Cadburys creme egg anyone???????

Gi1da · 07/04/2010 20:23

Hey Allthe8s

Sorry your having a packoshite time. I'll join you on the twoweekcrazytrain, and in the mean time wishing you a Batfink wings (shields-of-steel)* against any crap life tries to chuck at you.
