I had a MMC in september and was told to wait 3 months before ttc. Looking to connect with other for ladies who are waiting for the new year ttc The waiting is so hard!!!
What do I do when I come off the pills apart from the obvious, I have one son a very happy accident - so have never ttc. Am I suposed to do cycle and termperature things -I notice a lot of MN are doing this? Any advice. Thanks for that mosschops30.
Well done sabs for starting this, not brave enough yet to ttc but starting to feel ready about moving from the mc section. Good to see the names from emmsys and a few extra already,
hi ladies, a tentative toe through the door and then I can quickly tiptoe off again. Serioulsy though a really positive step, thank you sabs I have a feeling that I will be babysitting for all of you though, I wont charge, just leave me chocs and baby cuddles
VillageMum, Vjay, mm1509, mermaidspurse hello! (waving frantically and blowing kisses) nice to see familiar faces from across the way! Vjay hope AF visits you real soon...
Warm welcome to mosschops, timmette* and bratnav. Like timmette I would appreciate any advice too!
Sorry to hear you had a mc too bratnav, yes it was awful was my first pregnancy too
thanks for letting me know about the other thread mosschops, will check it out...
Good luck to everyone, whenever you are ttc!
I'm due to go to india for 2 weeks on xmas day, and if my cycle goes back to normal, thats when im due my december period...So will be ttc to conceive straight after that. Hopefully the holiday will be successful in more ways than one!
Hi lovely ladies, quite a few who I know from Emmsy's and other threads over in the miscarriage section.
I feel like I should do a bit of an Alchoholics Annonymous introduction... (Not that I'm an alchoholic though! Just in the style of.)
So, my name is Sausage, and I had a missed miscarriage in October at 12 and a bit weeks. DH and I are tryng to conceive whilst trying not to make it into a BIG THING as I don't think I can cope with too much more upset at this point!
I feel ready at last to leave the miscarriage section though so we are making progress.
It's good to have this thread, and good luck to everyone on it.
Sabs Well done on setting up our new TTC thread and thank you I recognise quite a few from our Emmsy thread but for those that don't know me
I am trying for my first, had a mm/c in Jan 08 another in August 08 and a chemical pregnancy in Sept/Oct 08. We are taking a break until we have been to the consultant in December so will be actively TTC January onwards.
I am TTC at the moment.. the GP told us not to wait to try after our m/c 5 weeks ago this sunday.. So far only negative prgnancy tests... no period yet though!! Will keep trying every day! Although we've a holiday booked with my partners family to Malaysia on Christmas eve until 7th Jan...I dont know how I'll feel about travelling before the first trimester is over... Good luck to everyone.. hopefully we'll all be having healthy 2009 babies!
HI everyone. Again i m getting ready to move over from the miscarriage site!!! I had a medical management 0n 17th october following my 11wk scan and being told i hadn t been pregnant since 7-8 weeks.Just starting my AF and are ttc.
I too have booked a holiday to egypt in feb, {as u know as soon as you ve booked your holiday something happens>>>>} Off to Bruges next week with family , booked when pg, but really looking foreward to it. Hi *SAUSAGEMCGRAPH and SABS1981*
Hi louisesh, think i've "spoken" to you on some MC threads. Again sorry to hear about ur MC but feel proud of you for making the crossover . Good luck ttc and have fun on both of your hols
Thanks SABS1981 yes we have "spoken" before!!!! Best of luck to you too have fun you ttc oh don t worry i will have loads of fun think you need loads of stuff to look foreward to!!!
HI all a bit of good news at last!!! At last have a negative pregnancy test 8 weeks after "baby" stopping growing and 4 weeks 4 days post medical management
So does anyone have any tips on how to get thier partners in the sack without making them feel as if they are being used???? And how to minimise the talk of ovulating, etc???
ERH....No!!! I ve just decided not to keep going on about it. Back massages a;ways works i ve found!!!! Not even mentioning ovulating!!! GOOD LUCK !!!!
Hello sabs and all you other lovely ladies, right, I'm ready to ttc now! (After mmc in early September - waited last cycle out). AF arrived today so I guess this is it! Hope you are all doing OK.
Hi, I'm new to MN and am TTC from Dec onwards. DH knows I'm off the Pill and on the folic acid but trying not to make a big thing of it.
I don't want to do a massive baby conception chat with DH as he'll prob just stress me every month to find out if I'm pregnant. So, does feel like I'm manipulating him a bit. Still, he'll think his luck's in a few months IYKWIM - I guess we'll both be happy
Hoping for a Sept/Oct baby but no longer fussy, just want to be pregnant!
Wishing everyone TTC a snuggly Christmas & New Year!
Great to see you on the thread louishesh, and welcome to purplecrazyhorse - great name! (Don't suppose it's anything to do with Crazy Horse in South Dakota is it? Great place!)
Great to see villagemum on here too! Good luck to you VM. Good luck to all of us - we deserve it!
Villagemum I think waiting a cycle out was a very good idea by the way. we have just gone for it this month (I'm on day 19 now I think) and it's been hard so far - just wanting something so much. I really need to relax a bit but it's soooooo hard to do.
Hi SAUSAGEMCGRAH nice to hear from you!!! Hope all is well with you and you re plodding on.
This is a nice positive thread.I m getting on.Back at work now and it s fine nice to get back to the banter and laughter of my colleagues.{you ve got to have a sense of humour to work in the nhs!!}
Halfway through my AF still spotting but just accepting it now!!!Looking foreward to BD with DH
EndlessNameles, 'major excitement 'n fear' could be my new nickname...
sabs, thanks! Hope it's the last AF for 9 months too! (though see above - excitement AND fear!)
sausage, it was very, very hard for us to wait that cycle out, to be honest. In fact the inner tension was quite unbearable round the middle of the month. But I knew I had to do it to get my head and body back together and it's worked to that extent. Just do what feels right for you - some people don't wait, and I can appreciate why!
Hi all - I'll probably not be ttc again til the new year - am awaiting AF after natural m/c of EP. I see a lot of you are/will be ttc post m/c so do you mind if I ask you something? I am feeling desperate to fall pg again but I'm worried I'm setting myself up for a huge fall if I'm not. We've been ttc for 3yrs so I'm being extremely optimstic thinking this, but now I know we can do it I have new hope. Is that totally weird? I know it's heart over head at the moment as my head says it took 3yrs to get here but my heart says if we can do it once then we can do it again.
nomoremagnolia, it's not weird at all. It's so important to be optimistic and have hope - you're halfway there and you're right - you know you can do it! I hope it works out for you next time.
I am definitely shagzilla! Poor, poor DH! The romance has definitley gone for this month! I am on day 20 post period too, so you'd think the poor guy should be getting a break now, only it's my first period post MMC so I don't know how long my cycle is going to be. Therefore we are still BD'ing like mad just in case cycle is 34 days or something. Phew! I am rubbish at knowing when I've ov'd though. It was probably way back when we didn't do it so much!
Vjay I'm hoping AF visits me next week. I'm also going to to wait for the next cycle, so we'll be ttc around the same time. I know EXACTLY how you feel about how hard all the waiting with.
I know its so silly, but for the past couple of days, I keep on thinking that maybe i'm pregnant. I know I cant be (because we've been using protection) but i'm having these symptoms I had when I was pg before, like tiredness, heightened sense of smell, etc. I'm putting it down to my period being due and not anything else. But i'm doing all I can not to use a pregnancy test.
nomoremagnolia welcome to the thread. Sorry to hear about your mc. But good luck for next time and i'm wishing it wont take 3 years for your next BFP
missiemoomummy welcome to the thread too {smile]
sausagemcgrah its not a long boring post! You should see some of the posts I write! Any plans for the weekend (apart from BD! )
I m the same as you SAUSAGEMCGRAH just BD' ing at any time and hoping for the best!!! Hoping to convince DH to have a "normal" sexlife again!!!! Hi NOMOREMAGNOLIA i think what you re feeling is the same as me.
I had a MMC and medical management of the same 5 weeks ago just getting through first AF and feel like you we ve done it once before {concieved that is!!!} and so can do it again keep thinking it may be soon as you hear all these tales of pregnancy very quickly after a miscarriage but on the other hand still leading my life as fully as possible soo as not to put too much pressure on us. SABS1981 have a good weekend enjoy your BD
Both of you want the baby so you both doyourbit, with the added advantage to him that he gets lots and lots of sex!
Obviously if you are demanding that he stops whatever he is doing at any time of the day to get in a quick session that he has a right to get a little annoyed
IMVHO I think it's possibly more about managing how we initiate sex, i.e. attitute, tone of voice, being impatient then limiting the amount.
me I think - DH is very keen to crack on with no. 2 so we have sort of started already but not with any seriousness - I think he will get serious next month! (he is worried about my advanced age and also wants to have the 2nd quite close to DS, who is now almost 1yo )
Hi VJay, see how you feel when you get to the middle of the month - if it's too hard (and if you don't have a pressing medical reason for not ttc straight away - sorry, I can't remember if you did? can you remind me?) then just follow your instincts, I'd say... in my case the fear and just feeling physically run down told me very clearly to wait a bit, but you might feel differently!
nomoremagnolia, I think you should be optimistic - all the anecdotal evidence suggests that we are very fertile after a mc, even if you're someone who has been trying to get pg for years and years before that... It's as if the body has been kickstarted once you've had a pg. You can certainly do it again!
Hi sabs, thumbwitch, louisesh, sausage, endless and anyone I've missed!
By the way, ladies, talking about BDing to order, have you all heard of the Deanna Plan? Here it is for those who are very, very serious about getting pg (and have a totally biddable dh/dp!)
HI VILLAGEMUM Had a look at the DEANNA plan looks complicated!!!! Think i might just leave nature to take its course, of course with plenty of BD help!!!!
How are you all going to get through this last month of waiting before starting to ttc? Any ideas would be good, as I soooo want to be trying now, but have to wait!
LOL - DP keeps saying are you sure you want another when DD acts up! lol I've always said I wanted at least 2 - I'd love to be able to afford a house that will accomodate 5/6
VJay, when I was waiting last month out I decided to tackle all the jobs around the house that would involve physical effort (the sort of effort that you wouldn't want to make when pg!) So I cleaned out the cupboards and finally put stuff in the loft, we did the wall painting we've been putting off for years, etc. You could also treat this as a 'getting fit' month - in the early stages of pg you probably won't want to do much exercise. And being fit is supposed to boost fertility anyway.
Hi, can i join too? just been reading through the thread, nice to find there's quite a few mners also going to be ttc in January.
We'll be trying for dc2 as dd is 2.8 so don't want too huge an age gap. Hoping for Sept/Oct baby. dd was a very happy accident so all this ttc is going to be new to me...
I've been assuming it'll happen more or less when we want it to, but i'm now realising we could well be in for a long wait...
louisesh I didn't (still don't) know the ins and outs of the deanna plan but from what I know from others on here doesn't it simply mean lots of BD? I thought it was every other day upto +ive OPK then 3 days on the trot, one off and one more for luck? We actually managed every day on days 8-12 and 15-18 with +ive OPK on day 15. Missed 13&14 as I was away for the w/e. I got pg but it was ectopic, but I did get pg!
Hello ladies hope you're all well and had a good weekend. I went to see my nan as she's in hospital. It was quite serious at 1 point but we've been told that she may be able to come home this week, so that's good news for the family.
My other good news is AF came to see me today - 4 days early! Which means I now have a month to go b4 we can try again!
About my DH - he definately wants a baby, didnt mean to sound as if he didnt. Its just i become a "shagzilla" with talks of ovulation etc, which doesnt exactly turn him on! Also DH is so worried that we might go through mc again and he doesnt want see me go through all that physical pain again
We were both quite sad today as I would have been 20 weeks today - halfway thru. I was meant to visit the midwife tomorrow at 9.30am and I am so worried they wouldnt have gotten my message re the mc and call me to ask why I didnt make my appointment. Would have also had my 20-week scan today
VJay, know what you mean about all the clearing out being too much work: I'm falling at the last (understairs) cupboard! Everyone's smelly shoes - it's just a job too far...

Thanks VJAY for adding my details.My day ok , but long, at work for 12 hours tired but got tomorrow off so looking foreward to that!!! Hope you had a good day its soo cold!!!!
Well I don't think I need worry about being naughty - AF has arrived earlier than expected - 10 days after EP ??? I have NO IDEA what my body thinks it's doing!
louisesh enjoy your day off. Hope you have a lie-in. Its so difficult to wake up in the mornings when its so cold and dark outside...oh well, less than a month to go before we're off to India - that's if our visa issues get resolved!
nomoremagnolia sorry to hear AF arrived. Hopefully thats your last one for 9 months [winks]
Planned to be ttc in the New Year but currently toying with the idea of making this my last pill packet rather than starting a new one to take me through to January.
sabs, I really hope it works out for you - am sure it will once they see your parents' passports!
I am OK, trying to master natural panic at ttc again after mc... some days are better than others! Wish the fear would just go completely but I guess it never will.
VM I will come to you for advice then as by the time I ttc you will have mastered how to get over that fear!
But I think you are right, we will never get over that fear. DH plans to wrap me in bubble wrap AND cotton wool when (if) i do get pregnant again! Don't know how that's going to work out, especially when im at work I have strange visions now....maybe i'll get a seat on my packed commuter train if im dressed like that!
Oh sabs, I really hope it all goes well for us both next time! I find I'm stressing about being stressed, if you know what I mean - it's a vicious circle! And then on other days I feel quite OK about it all. Just wish the rollercoaster would end! A trip to India and a total break sounds like just the thing...
SABS Hope you re visa is sorted!!! Roll on India I m off to Bruges for a mini cruise on saturday for 4 days with family REALLY looking foreward to it!!! We need stuff to look foreward to and enjoy after what we ve been through.
Well at last first AF finished after the longest AF i ve ever had!!!! 12 days OMG!!!! NOMOREMAGNOLIA i ve learnt theres no point in analysing your body following a EP or MMC as there seems no logic or rationale to whats happening as you can see above!!!!
VM know exactly what you mean about the rollercoaster! I got my second AF mon afternoon, and i was estactic, over the moon, cos it meant that i only had to wait 1 more, but then when i went to bed, i was just sobbing to DH that I shouldnt have had AF at all, I was meant to be halfway through my pregnany, I should have been 20 week and looking forward to my next scan...But I pray that it goes well for all of us...
louisesh enjoy your cruise. What's the weather meant to be like?
I am looking forward to getting away, but a trip to India is not a proper holiday for me as it means spending a lot of time with DH's extended family, which can be hard work! Plus the time when I am over there is the time we'll be ttc again, not the ideal situation. But can't complain too much
12 days, wow, that is a long time! I'm on my second AF since my mc and both times have been so heavy...wonder why that is?
Hear hear about the good times..as I keep on sayin, New Year, new beginnings...
hi sabs I do hope your visas get sorted soon, it will be so nice to get away, and you too louisesh, the cruise sounds lovely. I know what you mean about the rollercoaster ride of emotions we all experience. Now we've decided to ttc now I'm excited and anxious at the same time. I'm trying to be all calm and relaxed about it, but it is hard.
SABS weather in Bruges is cold like here however i m not at work and never been on a cruise {all be it mini!!!} before soo dead excited!!! Yes , very pleased to have stopped bleeding!!!
I feel same as you SABS keep thinking now i should have been 17 weeks and having my next scan just before xmas BUT..... wasn t mean t to be..... Try not to concentrate on that too much just focussing on the future!!!
VJAY again i know exactly what you mean its scarey and exciting at the same time you can t help but think each time you have BD this could be the one!!!! Take care
I'm watching the news about the horrible shootings in mumbai in india...where i'm supposed to be in a months time! Really dont think I will get my visa now
It's been a few days since I posted. I have a hard time keeping up with mumsnet as much as I'd like.
I hope you're all having a lovely week. My week is going veeerrrrry veeerrrryyy slowly, as AF is due on Sun, and I don't take the 2 week wait well! I am the most impatient person on this planet and am going to explode soon I think. How will I ever make it until Sunday? Knowing my luck I'll have a 36 day cycle now instead of a 28 day one just to stretch out the agony a little longer! (It's only my second period after my missed miscarriage so I guess anything can happen. My periods were very eeratic after I stopped breastfeeding DD if that's anything to go by) Arrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Help me!
noooooo don't feel useless! I don't think there is any good advice other than probably wait until Sunday and see what happens. Probably a period as I'm sure we didn't BD at the right times anyway - and I have been that stressed and upset still following the MMC that it will be a miracle if anything if I am pregnant anyway!
ha ha found you all, so that where half of emmsysangels have disappeared too! well im joining you in two weeks as dh will be back and then we can get down to business
Hey i was missing you, thought about you earlier while in the hairdressers, not sure why? I cant wait for him to be home, have hospital tomorrow as cd72 on still no af not sure what is going on tbh x
Hi VJay, thanks for including me on your list, here's the rest to update on the next one:
PurpleCrazyHorse - Cardiff, TTC DC1 Dec onwards
Getting guite excited but time is going slowly whilst I wait for December to come around. Who knows, it could take ages so I'm trying to prepare myself for the TTC rollercoaster.
However, spending a long weekend with friends and their 6wk old DS! This could put me off slightly and am toying with the idea of buying earplugs
I'm so sorry to hear that things are still unresolved for you. It's such a hard time isn't it? I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for you to still be in limbo. I hope they're able to help at the hospital tomorrow. Will be thinking of you. Hopefully your missing AF will turn up before your DH comes home, then we'll definitely see you on here for good pretty soon!
PurpleCrazyHorse - greetings from another Cardiff girl
Barbie1 - hope you get some answers tomorrow, I can only imagine the frustration of being stuck in limbo. One of the few times where AF not arriving is a total b*gger
