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

gilda your bullets cannot harm me .... used to watch it before brownies!?!?!?

now had another convo about job and it sounds awesome, much more problematic as more travelling which will cause childcare complications and am sure I will miss out on maternity bens but can negotiate certain amount into package because old boss knows about miscarriage and knows I will carry on trying - its the most positive I have felt about life other than trying for baby for a while and I think might be just what I need - they need to move quickly though and our house is on the market and I am wondering how much change I can handle, if I change jobs and we move house and I get pregnant all in one go that could be quite full on! DH is a star though I ran through it all and he just said 'we will manage, we always do!' he's such a rock.

all8s its crapola when you are having a low spell but happens to us all from time to time, cycle 3, 4 and especially5 after 1st mc when nothing seemed to be happening for me was the worst I have been! Hope things seem brighter for you soon

viv and jolls all this talk about acupuncture is making me think about whether might help ... keep posted on how it goes

hippy i read that too about womb lining (we are clearly stalking same websites!!) except it said 2 cycles on the site i read as erpc can take too much away and not leave enough lining to support a pregnancy if you get pg right away. I am defo leabving it until after first RTD - if I change jobs might leave it 2 just to be sure

righto - must be about time for Austrlias biggest loser!! bless Sky Real Lives

Barren just wanted to wish you good luck. You give me hope as the one ahead on the list.

Flippin heck, turn my back for one day and there's Littlemiss with some excellent news and WYG with some promising signs. Great news lassies - WYG it would be nothing short of criminal for your outstanding efforts to have gone to waste.

Your job offer sounds like just the thing Cheepz, amazing being headhunted as well! The sods law is bound to work towards getting you pregnant so go for it!

I was actually told at the hosptial about the ERPC scraping away lining but I didn't really have confidence in the doc's explanations. However, we did decide to wait to be on the safe side. Then after that stupidly long cycle not resulting in a BFP I've missed out on that other urban myth - the uber fertile 3 months post MC. Although that seems to be true for lots of ladies on here so there might be something in that one.

Clareanna how exciting about your CBFM. You and I are cycle twins using CBFM for the first time. Mine is still saying low - although my CM has been looking promising so hope I will get a shot soon, instead of at day fecking 52! Action stations for you!

Hello to everyone else and a big cuddle for Urd x

moo on the post mc fertility, after first mc it took 7 cycles, after second mc it took no cycles - got pregnant on the next one, so it can go either way, on the CBFM I got pregnant on two out of the four months I used mine so cycle 3 and cycle 4 on the monitor got pg, also discovered my peak EWCM actually seemed to be a few days before my peak ovulation on the monitor - which might have accounted for the 7 cycles where I was using EWCM as an indicator - turns out it was 3 or 4 days too early! just how mine seemed to work but did confuse me as I was sure you were just sposed to go at it like a rabbit first sign of ewcm - but that didn't work for me!

am now back on the monitor just to see if i ovulate this cycle and to avoid any peak days while have no womb lining!

Hmm dh not in a rumpy pumpy state of mind- something to do with a job interview tomorrow morning and needing to prepare - think I can let him off this time...(!) He seems to think it's a bit like footballers before a big game. This swi business is tricky sometimes!

Moo isn'. All the poas action great?!!!

I'll have faith in my monitor and see where it gets me then

Clare dammit! Pesky menfolks. Hope its not a peak you are missing out on.

ooooo clare hate that, dh and i had a row one peak swi night and I had to apologise even though i was right and make peace just to swi when i was busy thinking he was being a total plank ... not easy this whole ttc biz - and getting dh to swi on schedule one of the most tensest things, esp if you have one like mine who wants to know nothing about dates, times and peaks and so on ...

Morning girlies, looks like it's been busy!

littlemiss how exciting! I'm going to splash out on a CB digi later even though I've done two Boots cheapies. I think I need to see it in writing. I had a feeling you might be upduffed.

cheepz how are you chicken? Top news on the job offer, combined with moving you are most certainly going to fall pg with all the distractions. I say go for it and good on your DH for being so positive. Mine had a bit of a panic over money last night and childcare, then downloaded ipregnancy on the iPhone and started picking names !! Men do puzzle me sometimes!

viv and jolls enjoy the accupuncture, it's deffo the way forward (well I think so anyway) let us know how you get on.

scotch welcome to the madhouse. Sorry you are here but glad you have found us.

tigger thanks honey

train arriving now so will see you all later, have a good day x

Littlemiss thought I'd give you a moment before we out you on the list with a BFP. You are duffed though!
Will Modom be cracking open the Clear Blue Digi this morning?

Wishing you all a beautiful day! x

Someone mentioned cadbury creme eggs

Feeling sick at the very thought (but that might just be a constant sicky thing... bleurgh...)

VERY excited at all these spring positives, it be the time o' year, ladies! I would jump up and down, but feel too knackered and poorly Oh for a large g&t

Morning lovelies x

So the acupuncture went well, I think - at the very least, I got a nice lie down for an hour before work so am feeling very calm and chilled out!

The acupuncturist lady was lovely - half way through the treatment, she manipulated a couple of the needles and I definitely felt a massive headrush. It felt like I had stood up too quickly, when in fact I was lieing down with my eyes closed.

Next session booked in for next Wednesday (which will be CD10) as she's then off to Australia for two weeks, so will be interesting to see if anything changes cycle-wise by the time I get back.

In other news, stepped on the scales this morning and was frankly horrified so I'm passing round a box of exotic fruit. Mango, anyone?

Hi all
My acupuncture session was interesting... Mostly consultation before the pricks as was my first one.

On the plus side, she was very positive about the fact that I am able to get pregnant quickly at 42 and that it should mean I am not on my last eggs just yet.

On the slightly negative side (though I have to believe she is right) I should abstain from TTC for a few months to try to get pg. Darn. She wants to teach me charting (oh bugger) and then pinpoint when good mucus might equal good egg. Her view is that I should allow my uterus a while to even itself out.

Ultimately it's a view, and I see no reason why it should be less correct than another. So for now I am putting faith in her and her experience (have had several recommendations for her).

Am going to the docs though to get progesterone levels checked and also definitive blood checks (my MW was less than convincing when I quizzed her on my last booking in bloods).

I have a slight headache after the session (maybe unrelated)..... so off to enjoy the sunshine and work out how I'm going to pay for the sessions.... (mind you I have given up booze, that should do it).

Sorry all me me me... Tarra for now x

How many acupuncture sessions do you need? do they have to be on specific days of the cycle?

Oooh jollster, I've developed a bit of a headache since around midday.

pollyanna - my acupuncturist didn't say how many I'd need as I suppose it depends on how long it takes to regulate my cycle / fall pg etc. However, she did specifcally ask me to come in again next week (before she goes away) so I could get a session in around the time of ovulation.

Just seen the post re. acupuncture. I am having treatment following an ectopic. It seems to be working, in that after an EP it can take a while to have a first period. Mine arrived, as promised by the practitioner, 24 hours after my treatment. Coincidence?? Maybe! I need to have another AF before I can start TTC again so my body has time to recover post-op. Booked in for my next acupuncture session next Friday, which should be just before next AF (Prior to EP I was regular as clockwork for 15 years!). I will report back on that but I guess the pressing Q is will the session 2 weeks later when I am (All fingers crossed) able to TTC again work its magic?

Re. Pollanna's Q, my acupunturist will be seeing me every 2 weeks, just before AF and when ovulating...

X

Gaaah my best friend at work has just told me she's 3 months pg - she found out she was duffed the day after I had my mc. Really am genuinely pleased for her but I so want to catch up!

I see my acupuncturist once a month. He always asks where I am in my cycle but we don't schedule sessions around it.

Where's Littlemiss today?

Cheepz, that job offer sounds just perfect, and your DH is a brick!

Oh its such as nice day outside and I'm stuck in the office, what a drag! ..

Girls, glad to hear accupuncture went well, the lady I go to recommended 3 sessions (one a week) to start to cover ovulation and RTD. She then said twice monthly to coincide as closely as poss with ovulation and then impending RTD. I guess it depends on the length of your cycles aswell but as long as it coincides with the important times in your cycle is the impression I got. And it worked!

Hi girls, another test this morning..still faint! Been spotting a little today so i think it's bad news from me

Hey ho, had a feeling it wasn't going to plan.

Sound like the acupuncturist might be the way forward for me to, I have friend who's been going for a while and she's swears by it. Never had a normal cycle until she started her sessions. Good on you girls for taking the big step forward!

Love to all x

Hug for Littlemiss. It's all so bloody confusing. Sorry things aren't clear for you. If, and I say if, it hasn't worked this month, it darn well will soon x

Thanks Gi1da hugs always welcome

Your right, if not this month soon it will happen and be right. x

Oh littlemiss what utter balls- it's not over to it's over though- sending you big hugs and leftover Easter eggs x

think we will be responsible for huge rush in business for acupuncturists across the uk!

I've been doing accupunture too but it's not working yet. The first time I had an initial treatment, then one on ovulation then another a week later. The second month I had one about a week before ovulation and one on ovulating. He's offered me a more intensive one this month as a last shot but I'm going to give it all a break for the moment as I don't feel up to much more. It does leave me feeling very tired and relaxed which is fine in the evening but not so good at 8am.

Ps forgot to say. I planted a little magnolia stellata for Little Bean and I came home today to see two of its first buds have blossomed into beautiful white starry flowers. I am taking this to mean that the soul that is Bean is quite happy to be a tree. Hippy I know but I just felt that everything was as it should be.

Then I poured celebratory gin which made things even better. Cheers to you one and all Ladies.
