Well ladies, its about time we had a new thread, the old one is getting very long. Plus I think we need another fresh start, with lots of positive babydust:

.,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'- .,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,' .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,' .,'-.,'-.,'-',.

Get a big handful girls, i think we all need it.
I was trying to think of something great and positive to put, but this TTC lark is getting us all down, i'm fed up of trying, but we will all succeed eventually, our times will come.

It will be much better for our little ones to have a good start when our bodies are truly ready to carry them.

night night humphreys, hope the "evil withc" either shows her face right now, or she stays away for a good nine months.

Mojomummy, I never spoke to anyone from the miscarriage assoc, but now wonder if i should have. sounds like they were a great help. mumsnet was my therapy, just being able to write down all my feelings really, really helped.

Maddyd - Very sensible of you, you should have a holiday too, maybe you should start a holiday fund, and even if its just a weekend away to a cottage in the middle of nowhere, at least you can relax.

Have decided to something postive as I am (probably) not pregnant. I have joined Wight Watchers. When I was pregnant I some how managed to put on almost a stone ( in just four and half months) I was hungry all the time. Hopefully I wont have to be a member for very long. ( I may get BFP+ yet). It will give me something else to obsess about abd take my mind of TTC. Of course it cant help getting pregnant as well.

HC Hope your AF stays away xxxx

Lunarsea Glad thinks are looking more hopeful on GP front.About time eh?!

Evening to all other ladies.Hope all is well.

I am still feeling off.Got a headache that wont go away.On CD 21 and been ov testing since CD 15 and no result yet.Got a faint line tonight and although I know thats not a positive its the most I have got this week and feeling twitchy pains so hopefully could come yet...

Thing is cycle was 28 days since I was listening to Duran Duran (1st time round) and reading Jackie.But since I lost Philippa it has gone to 31 days and and then 33.If getting longer could mean thats why no ov yet or if reverts back to 28 days then tested too late and missed it.But no clear and stretchy cm this month so WHO knows.....

Anyhow got plenty of chocolate in so at least I should be able to refrain from murdering anyone..as feel pmt too!!!

Mojo - I'm sure I can guess the question you kept asking! Unfortunately it seems there is really no answer for any of us but at least that means we can keep trying and hoping!

I'm like you but with lovely DH and DS instead of DD.

Lunarsea - So glad that you've met someone in the know who's been able to reassure you that you're absolutely in the right to keep trying for referral. You go girl! Best of luck tomorro I'll be thinking of you.

Cori - good on you for joining what I lovingly call 'fat birds club!' I lost a lot of weight with them a few years ago but fell off the wagon when became ill and lost too much. It seems I worked too hard at putting a bit back on! I'm off there for ritual humiliation tomorrow. I love it really. I hope you'll not be a mamber for long and that baby dust sticks to every bit of you!

Diddle · 23/08/2005 07:17

Lunarsea - Good luck for today!!!!!!

morning all

Lottielou · 23/08/2005 09:14

Morning All!
Xena - I'm not doing too bad thanks, things have been quite up and down for me lately but am trying to get back on track so fingers crossed i'll get back into this whole saga of TTC. Hope the weight loss is going ok? Are you eating healthily? Silly question, i presume you are! Where are you at at the mo then, CD days, testing etc! xxx
Diddle - Morning hun, glad i made you grin yesterday. Yeah this whole AF messing me around was really getting me down, i dont know where i am from one day to the next. I do feel quite bloated at the mom so i'm guessing she'll be rearing her ugly head any day now. One thing i haven't been getting is any pains with my AF so thats a good thing.
So what CD are you on now?
I do need a holiday, i'm in desperate need on one, we are hoping to get away for a week next month so fingers crossed nothing comes up so i cant go, i will be more than annoyed.
I have my brother staying with DP nad i for a few weeks, he's in between places to live so we offerd him our spare room - the kind sister that i am! Tis stressful tho but a helping hand and all that.
Hows your DH and family, yours your grandad hun?
Ooohhh it's good to be back! xxxx
Need to inject some loopy lottieness into this thread! xx xx

Diddle · 23/08/2005 09:23

Dh is ok, Grandad has just come out of hospital again, had a chest infection, but is much better now, saw him yesterday.

You'll never get rid of me.

Fantastic day here too. Isn't everything nicer when the sun shines....god I sound like my nan!

Have you given in yet Diddle? Try and hold of till the morning as you'll have more hc thingy in your system (technical term)

Just come back from the gym, as I to am try to shift a few pounds before all the baby weight goes on (Please this month!!)

Any news from your doctors "interview" lunarsea?

LunarSea · 23/08/2005 13:30

hi strike - "interview" about sums it up. It wasn't actually with a doctor just one of their healthcare assistants, and was basic stuff about medical history, and checking BP and urine etc. But she did tell me which of the doctors she reckoned would be the most sympathetic to us, so at least I know who to try to see - just need to wait for the records from the old place to come through now. Actually the new practice has 5 youngish female doctors out of 8, so I'm almost spoilt for choice.

Am seeing a consultant tomorrow though (have to pay for it, but after all this time I'm just glad to be getting somewhere at last), so who knows, perhaps we'll start seeing some progress even before I actually get to see the new GP.

strike1 · 23/08/2005 13:45

Excellent news! All the doctors at my surgery are female which is good. 2 are excellent and have been great about the ttc and m/c thing, so I just avoid the other one. It makes such a difference when you feel someone is listening and hearing you. You'll probably find your pg this month now, after all that Lets hope so!

Diddle · 23/08/2005 13:47

strike1 - i'm resisting!!

Lunarsea - sounds like you've got off to a good start, lets hope the consultant is excellent and you get somewhere really soon.

Lottielou · 23/08/2005 14:14

Diddle - Dont test, have some will powere hun! Yeah will be great to be online on the evening we can chat on MSN then, will be fun! N anyway i dont wanna get rid of you!
Dont worry bout not having any free weekends till Oct i'm pretty tied up too, maybe if we leave it till Oct we may get our BFP's
Wedding plans aren't really anything at the mo, we wanted to get married next yr but we have too much on and the dates were all booked up anyway. So we have booked it for 07/07/07 in a lovely church with the reception being at the Ardencote Manor in Clavedon - very nice!
We will be starting the prepping for it in the new year, we figured it will be 18 months then so i will have loadsa time to change my mind on a thousand n one things! Hee Hee
Ark at you getting all organised for xmas already - i haven't even thought that far ahead but then again it will be here before we know it so it may be worth thinking bout! Espesh with hoping that i will have a bumb to slow me down by then!
Tis lovely weather here in the Midlands, just had lunch with my mom, bless! Back to the grind stone now tho!
Loves Ya xxxx

Lottielou · 23/08/2005 14:14

OP posts:
LunarSea · 23/08/2005 14:56

Lottielou - am seeing consultant tomorrow. And have registered with new GP. So hopefully things moving in the right direction at last. Why don't you come to one of the Solihull meetups sometime (there's one tomorrow if that's not too soon).

Diddle - we'll have to do a West Midlands ttc meetup sometime. I don't often get over to Merry Hill, but will need to go to Decathlon once the winter things are in to get ski stuff for ds.
