    Sorry to see you go whattodonow/Gemma - good luck with TTC. I hope you come back to "visit". Have a lovely Christmas and take care of yourself, and if it's cos someone has upset you on another thread, try to ignore them and maybe just take a little break and come back. There are a lot of posters out there who seem to like to gang up on people as a hobby, so hope this isn't what has happened to you.

    Hugs,

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Well. After going to superdrug and spending £18, and peeing on EVERY stick I could lay my hands on this morning...

    I think it's fairly conclusive :D

    great news Sa-ra-ra-ra! How exciting, and fabulous to be so definitive - what a fantastic christmas present.

    After what felt like a lot of nothing going on, I think today might be ov day. ewcm (first time I have noticed it), and bloating. Stupidly (STUPIDLY!) I managed to miss the OPK, so am currently waiting around to prepare another sample. How silly is that! :rotfl:

    OH is in a right mood due to football results, so I will have to get him in a better mood. :D

    Hello ladies. I'm going to leave the forum. Can you please take me off the list QQ. No offence to any of you but it seems to have changed since when I first joined. In addition, I just don't feel part of it any more.
    Good luck on your journeys all.

    Sorry to hear that. I have been through times on MSE when it hasn;t felt like home any more, so I hope you feel able to come back one day. If you mean this thread then sorry for that, we do natter on a bit I know, but you are always very welcome, everyone is.

    Good luck with your TTC and do let us know when you get your BFP even if it's only the one post.

    See this is why I don't like "I'm leaving" posts. I don't think its fair to make people feel bad about posting their own experiences on a support thread, just because you haven't shared those experiences. And threads ebb and flow depending on who is posting at the time, and the character changes from day to day depending on how the regulars are feeling and where people are in their cycles.

    I have no idea why whattodonow is leaving the thread, and she obviously doesn't want to upset anyone by making this explicit, so I think its best for everyone not to speculate, and make each other feel bad.

    The fact is though that there are a number of groups of people with similar issues who are posting on this thread at the moment, and personally I think we all have something to offer to each other. We have quite a large group sadly of us who are trying to conceive again after a fairly recent loss, we also, sadly, have a smaller group of regulars who know they have either male or female fertility issues which will make things harder, or ladies who have been trying for a long time, we have some ladies with other health issues which impacts and we have some brand newbies who are just getting to grips with temperatures and OPKS and are probably scared silly by the talk of loss or reduced fertility but also hopefully can find something to learn here.

    I just think noone needs to feel ashamed or sorry for anything that they want to post on this thread, and that if for some reason it isnt what some people want to read when they are ttc, then they are at liberty to find a thread elsewhere (maybe on another forum completely) which is more in tune at that time with what they want to read. That being said, I hope this thread isn't offputting to the vast majority of those who read and post on it, and that there are more helpful than non helpful ones.

    Very wise post as always Nicki

    Whattodonow I will be sad to see you go but I hope you can find somewhere you feel more comfortable with.

    Only if you are feeling optimistic sweetie. This is a hard time of year for you, and a number of us on this thread, and if you need any support or a place to vent, I'd hope you'd make this one of your first ports of call.

    I'm just about to PM you by the way, if you are around for a bit.
