Huge hugs to Magic8. I wish I could come to the fundraiser, it's going to be a great success and sounds like loads of fun. It's wonderful of you to put this all together. I hope you have a very special day.

Also, another hug to Magic8 for enduring to antenatal blood unit for two hours. That just isn't right.

Thanks to everyone for the congrats. I'm very up and down, but hopeful. I'll feel more secure once I can get the betas checked and know they're better than last time. Fingers crossed for first draw on Monday.

dorcas111 · 22/05/2010 14:13

Hi everyone, hope you are enjoying the sunshine.
magic good luck today, hope it goes well and you raise lots of money.

batteryhen · 22/05/2010 15:37

A quick post as I thought I would let you ladies know that super drug have got a 'buy one get one free' offer on their ovulation kits.

Don't cause a stampeed now !

PrettyVacant1 · 22/05/2010 15:40

8's all the best for tonight and I'm sure it will be a massive success.
Hope you smash your target that you want to raise + more!

Congrats to Aly made up for you both, fingers and toes crossed for Mon x

Hairy good to hear you're being pampered.
Be kind to yourself. x

Hi to everyone, sorry not to namecheck, but thinking of you all.

I'm off to make myself pretty as MrG is up to something.
He said I need to be ready by 5

Toodles x

hairytriangle · 22/05/2010 16:54

have a great night PrettyVacant1 whatever you end up doing!

and good luck magic

LadyBee · 22/05/2010 21:06

oooh, my feet hurt, was wearing summery sandals today for the first time and I have blisters and rubbed souls...but it feels like the start of summer!

Magic8s - I hope you have a wonderful party tonight and raise tonnes of dosh! It's been a beautiful day, and I really hope it is an omen of beautiful things to come for you in the coming year.

Cheepz, absolutely do the barest minimum you can that won't make people not want to come to your leaving do .

northerngoldilocks - glad you got the 'sign off' to start trying again next cycle. And fingers crossed that the next one is more regular with a better chance of ovulation.

Julia congrats on your godparent status! I feel bad that we didn't ask any of our friends to do something similar - wouldn't have been god-anythings, but you know, mentor/look-out-for type people. I still think we should do it. You've put another thing on my list

Hairy - hang on in there chick, lots of tlc , chocolate and hugs for you. You are A+ all over, not just the blood {cheesy )

PrettyVacant - your DH sounds fab, I likey the sound of mystery date. The fact that he's actually organised something has made my jaw hit the ground and me turn green like this -->

I am beginning to suspect that my mystery aches and pains (sore arms, sore legs, sore neck) are actually, ahem, post-coital muscle aches . I guess it's been a while and we've been quite, er, enthusiastic.

Might need a hot bath tonight. And a night off tomorrow

LadyBee · 22/05/2010 21:08

I think that's actually a rubbed sole, not soul. Although that's still a bit tender too.

Freezingmyarseoff · 22/05/2010 23:25

Just popping on to say hi to everyone. Would like to offer everyone a glass of wine but we just finished it - sorry, but an evening of battling with house extension budget spreadsheets needed something to liven it up . Just hope we got the decimal places in the right places

Hope the evening went well today Magic8s

A whispered congratulations to Aly

LadyBee lucky you on the post coital aches.
Best scarper upstairs right now in the hope of qualifying for some myself.....

sorry not to name check everyone else.

hairytriangle · 23/05/2010 10:01

aw Ladybee you sweetie!

Just another 'me me me' post (update!)

Terrible pain from 5pm and into the night, stuck it until half two (I have a really high pain threshold) paracetamol was not touching it so ended up in out of hours at 3.20 - lovely man gave me an injection and some co-codamol.

Really, really didn't want to go back to hossie, I can't face the thought of more blood letting and so on!

I think my cyst is bleeding into my abdominal cavity - I'm really bleeding like I've never bled before - and without being too graphic, it's like fresh blood when you cut yourself (not my usual period), and is still going strong and heavy on day Four - unlike my periods which get lighter on day three .

Have even more bloods (yuk) tomorrow so will ask them there what they think.

Feel ok- actually managed a little Sunday morning jig to Toots and the Maytals this morning!

Muser · 23/05/2010 10:52

That sounds horrible hairy, glad you're a bit better today. Definitely get properly checked out.

I'm on my phone so can't update the list. But when someone else gets to it please can I be moved on to the main list? Yes, that's right. My three month wait is officially over. Period arrived today and I am all systems go for trying again. I am very excited and a little bit terrified at what might happen or not happen.

Stats are: TTC #1, Cycle 1, UCL 28, CD1

aly323 · 23/05/2010 14:17

Yay for Muser!!!

Hairy, can they just put in a port for the day for your bloods tomorrow instead of poking you each time. It might be annoying, but I know the needles get to be awful. I hope they get everything sorted very soon, you have been through so much lately. It's really time for a break.

batteryhen · 23/05/2010 14:56

Can I get some words of wisdom from someone??

I stopped bleeding last sat after 8 weeks of bleeding following a medical management for MMC. Over the past 2 days I have been getting cramps and a small amount of light brown spotting (sorry for TMI.) I am unsure if this is AF - seems too soon, - if not what the hell is going on now??? I was put on progesterone for a week to stop the bleeding - i got a period like bleed with some small clots, then stopped about 5 days later (last sat)

Also - I have been asked where abouts I am in my cycle. Do you count from the day you started bleeding for the miscarriage as day 1 or the day you stopped bleeding?- or in my case the day i started the period like bleed after the progesterone?? Sorry for so many questions on a lovely sunny day xx

WestYorkshireGirl · 23/05/2010 15:02

Hairy Take care - I hope things settle down soon.
MrsP where did you go on your date?
Magic well done on yesterday - hope you made lots of cash.
Hello everyone - I can't bring myself to go anywhere as I want to see if there any more BFPs so I think I'll keep dropping by!

PrettyVacant1 · 23/05/2010 20:32

Hello everybody peeps.

I'm a leetle tiddly as we've had a lovely day of BBQ-ings and cider-ings!
I made burgers, from scratch.
Jamie Oliver ones, with lots of garlic. Mmmmmmmm.
Will be sharing the love tomorrow doing make overs.

Had a lovely night last night too, MrG came up trumps with the restaurant.
We had a really good chat about possibilities about the problems we may face with having our bab and he was just so diplomatic,supportive and understanding about me being a little on the crazy side.
He keeps me grounded.
We've been together for 8 yrs and last night we also reminissed about how,why and when we got together.
He was and still is one of my closest friends.

We came home and had the best night we had for a while
We've been putting alot of pressure on each other with either trying too hard or trying not to when we are not supposed to iykwim.

Anyways nuff of the soppy mememes.
Off to catch up with DrWho and finish my cider.

Hope everyone is well and has had a fab weekend.

Toodles x

clareanna · 23/05/2010 21:19

Glad you had a lovely night prettymrsg you deserve good times

battery the first day of your mc bleeding is CD1. It sound like you may have had a period? It's quite common to have spotting and brown discharge I think, took 3 cycles for me to have a normal one. It's so frustrating waiting for your body and hormones to settle down. Other peeps on here have had good things to say about acupuncture, and I think Reflexology helped me get my cycle sorted. Take care x

ok ladies need help... Had written this month off a bit, because despite swi every other day, I hadn't got a peak on my cbfm, which I was expecting on fri. But today on cd25 it apoeared- argh! Am desperately trying to work out how to get some action!!! Ds folied us this morning, by waking at 5.30am and refusing to leave my side, and now I have the inlaws staying the night, and whilst very understanding I think dragging dh off to bed is a step too far... So, am currently sitting with them all watching telly and plotting my seduction plans ... Dh doesn't like to know specifics on dates - it makes him feel 'used' (!!) plus is usually a morning man iykwim and I don't think my slightly sunburnt forehead is particularly attractive...
wyg how are you feeling?
muser yaaaay!!!!

Big sunnyday waves to everyone else!

digitalgirl · 23/05/2010 22:33

Woohoo! Got a positive opk. Am well aware this does not guarantee ovulation but it still makes me feel better to see a what a proper positive on the opk looks like. It's six weeks today since the mc started so looks like an 8 week cycle. So more swi is in order for the next couple of nights.

clareanna good luck seducing your dh. Looks like we'll be poas buddies.

pv glad you had a nice time last night. Your dh sounds so wonderfully supportive. It's good to meet other long-termers too (dh and I will be celebrating 15 years since we dated this august).

batteryhen I've had a couple of weird mid-cycle spottings. Inexplicable brown cm. Last time I had it was last weekend 3/4 days after I thought I'd ovulated. Obviously I hadn't so must have just been my hormones re-balancing. I read somewhere that any bleeding that happens less than 21 days after the end of your mc bleeding is not a period it's your body continuing to get rid of whatever might still be there. Try and see it as a positive thing (although I'm one to talk I had a proper freak out when it happened to me, even took a pregnancy test, doh!).

hairy Bloody hell. Literally.

muser hooray for getting back on the ttc wagon. Understand how it can also be scary.

Right, and so off to end what has been a lovely sunny weekend. Last weekend's seeds have sprouted and we dusted off the BBQ for the first time this year. DS finally went to bed without a tantrum at just gone 8, things are looking positive.

LadyBee · 23/05/2010 22:53

Hey Clareanna - great news on getting that peak, remember it shows the LH surge that happens just before you ovulate, so don't panic, it's not too late. I think if you can wake up early tomorrow morning and surprise DH you'd have done ok. It's good though, isn't it, that the CBFM showed you you're going to ovulate late, I would have just assumed I already had or wasn't going to at all.

I'm with you with the burnt forehead, I've also got patchy burn on my shoulders where I missed with the suncream. I will be among the pink people at work tomorrow

hairytriangle · 23/05/2010 23:10

Muser Wahay

and ladybee wahay too!

Prettyvacant your OH sounds lovely what a nice night it sounds like you had

Clareanna good luck with your seduction plans!

Digital yup, bloody hell. I am now convinced that my ovarian cyst has burst, and that it is continuing to bleed, due to the nature of the pain and symptoms and the factthat I am literally running a constant trickle of bright red blood.

Have (yet another) HCG test tomorrow so I will tell them that I'm really concerned.

I've told OH that I absolutely do not want any of my reproductive parts removed unless I am in a life threatening position, (sorry don't mean to sound dramatic!) - I mean if they had to operate to remove the cyst, then I don't want to lose any other bits!!!

hairytriangle · 23/05/2010 23:11

Morning all x

Hope you all had lovely weekends.

hairy - I'm really worried about you, love. Am glad you've got another hcg test today, as I think the hospital should be seeing more of you if you're still bleeding so heavily.

Cheepz · 24/05/2010 10:52

Morning ladies

I am in the office - but I am not doing any work you lot are a bad influence on me. I am going to shop for DS 3rd birthday present (and presents for all his little friends), then do my blog, then do my accounts and maybe spend some time surfing the internet for some shorts that I can wear to work!!

hairy hope things are calming down for you hone

muser go you, am also quite excited when I start thinking about going back on the list, will be nervous too but don't put too much pressure on yourself and try and stay calm and zen like!!

Am wondering what news of slimyak dirtgirl Scotchontherocks and Gonna as they seem to be awol

prettygazebo! your DH sounds super wonderful - group hug for PV's DH for being a model man (even of for only one night!!)

littlemiss heres hoping 2ww goes fast for you and anyone else who is on it

viv morning, can't believe you been waterworks all morning over Lost! But then I lost interest after series 2... never quite got back into it

clare if you didn't manage to get one in the bag with DH last night hope you managed it this morning - I too love my CBFM for the reassurance it gives me, I haven't check lately because we are not trying but I even so I am tracking my cycle, know when I ovulated and will be able to see cycle length. RTD is due any day as I think I am roundabout CD26 or 27, I know though because I have a huge subcutaneous spot dweeling on my chin - a cm left from where I had one last month - why do hormones make spots come in the same place

Right - coffee machine then abit more non working for me

love to all you guys xxx
