Its CD2 for me today and rather heavy and painful again this time (pre miscarriage I had it so easy )

CD2 here for me too and feeling the same - having been on implanon for 3 years and the pill for the 8 years before that, I was lucky before. On implanon I didn't really get AF (sometimes 4-5 months apart). This is still a shock to the system!

Please tell me it's not just me that's completely obsessed with the pg threads on here. I can't stay away from them! Have to keep checking how everyone's getting on and who's in labour. Have no idea why though as it's just torture, but I can't stop myself.

I'm mad aren't I? I need to step away from the computer.

If you are mad, so am I... I have literally just been reading through the pregnancy threads (daily obsession...). Glad it's not just me...

Oh I REALLY don't want to come on here tomorrow and whinge about how we didn't manage to BD last night (tonight), but it always seems to happen and I'm really worried about it! Ridiculous, I know... Think positive thoughts, it WILL happen....!

If it makes you feel any better (although can't imagine why it would lol) we haven't BD'd for 10 days now.

It makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one! Things have been going quite well this month in that department, I think because things are more relaxed, but it's always around OV that things tend to go wrong (I was going to write tits up, but that just didn't seem appropriate... :rotfl:)

ETA - tealover, at 11DPO, I'd be exactly the same as you - I know it sounds awful, but after all the stress of OV sometimes we both just want a break from it! Aaaargh ttc sex is so annoying!!!

I'm my own worst enemy around ov time. I worry that we won't manage it, then I get arsey that OH isn't some sort of mind reader that can just tell when I'm ovulating. But then I never want to actually tell him in case that's too much pressure, so I just stress about it and spoil for a fight until he bites at something, we end up having an argument and then I blame him for us not doing it at the right time.

Tealover I did :rotfl::rotfl: at that comment about if it makes you feel better!! Its nice to have solidarity amongst us tho - am glad you all know what its like - and I have noone going through it in RL who I can discuss these kinds of things with.

COMP - Awww, sometimes friendships just run their course. I've had a couple like that, and sometimes they come back right if circumstances are right, but sometimes they don't

Just rang the molar nurse after your question earlier MrsJ, and she said I can start my folic acid. She said the 6 month advice (for waiting to TTC) goes back to the olden days when a rise could have been molar growth or a new pregnancy, but back then the scans weren't good enough to be able to determine the difference. So she said they kept the advice, to help people monitor the levels, and give us chance to recover emotionally and physically - but that waiting won't actually make any difference to the molar thing happening again. I didn't realise that before - so this is BRILLIANT news :j:j:j

I'm half and half as to whether to try this cycle or next. I could do to lose some weight (have comfort ate my way thru 1.5stone ) and get the folic acid thru my system again (I had to stop taking it as it may have effected hormone levels), but then I could try for a few months and still be waiting for my sticky bean.

I do sometimes wish there was a crystal ball that said you would get pregnant on 28th November 2012 or something - so you knew to plan around that date etc (maybe I should see a psychic like teaandcupcakes)

I can't see us going back to condoms tho, so maybe we'll just have a bash at NTNP and being all relaxed (haha, yeah right - like I'll be able to manage that ) this month, and start temping etc in a couple more months.

Lots to chat about with DH tonight :beer:

Might be looking after my 15 month old nephew overnight tonight tho - so maybe I will be put off babies as I think he gets up about 5.30am :eek:

abis - great news :j

tealover - are you sure you are not secretly me?

TeamLowe

thanks for the compliments, it's from the CK book, there's some good stuff in there, there's even a rug! which if i ever make would be nice for a baby's room cos it's nice and bright the piece of done will be a pin cushion once i get some velvet, but i might change that for a different kind of material so i can get it done quick lol

i'm nodding along to the friends episode comments and the stalking the pregnancy threads...i limit myself to the less than 12 weeks one though, the others just make me really really really really bitter, the less than 12 weeks only makes me really bitter lol

fustrated because i've been doing so well with my diet and exercise but not showing on the scales, even put on half a pound this morning! however, my pants fit better today than yesterday (ie the zip stays up!) and it looks like i've got the beginnings of EWCM so i'm happy with the thought that it's making my cycle shorter no matter what the weight does

That's great news Abis, hope DH will agree to whatever your plan is, i think i remember you saying he was reluctant to be trying again quickly out of concern for you, but hopefully if the molar nurse says there's no issues he'll aquiesce


Congratulations to Binky! ridiculously short stay! will also do nothing to my usual CD2 'well what if i'm wrong and this isn't a period' delusions lol x x

DH just referred to my fufu as an ice-rink because there was that much ewcm :O I don't know where it all came from! Yay. Hopefully means I will ov soon.

TeamLowe - I don't read any of the pregnancy threads and I avoid 99 of pregnant people I know and see. I HATE any maternity/baby/pregnancy program on the TV and you have hit the nail on the head with the word bitter. I am very bitter about other people having it so easy. Even people who don't have it easy still make me angry. It's not because they are pregnant, it's just because most of them will never have to go through what I did.
Don't get me wrong, I don't wish my experiences on anybody and I fully understand it is my problem not theirs! I guess most of us have a chip on our shoulder about something or other though and some days I am just rubbish at hiding it!
