Time for a new thread, here`s to speedy conceptions and speedy labours

looking for experiences of both?

Message withdrawn

Thank you, Nomore for keeping us going! Definitely interested in the speedy labour bit and keeping everything crossed for both you and Gilly on the conception front.

Gilly Glad the countdown has started - roll on April (well, for you, at least - I have a few things to do before then!)

Scorpio If you're lurking or come back and find us, I saw your other thread by chance - so sorry about the mc.

breastmilk has gone too

Long conception very quick labour, I had my first in two hours, I went to hospital cos I had diarrhoea and apparently that is a sign, was told to get checked cos I was a risk of quick labour due to medical history, got to hospital 5cms, within 20mins pushing, the pushing took over 1hr and 1/2.
Hope that is what you wanted to hear.

Scorpio - big big hugs hope you're feeling a little bit better now.
I'm sorry for the confusion over the title for anyone who's offered advice, thanks
Gilly great news about starting your IVF cycle. If you think of each step as an achievement in itself the time goes by quicker.
I'm still waiting for an appointment for the L&D So fed up of waiting [bored]

Nomore - I really did want to meet up, as well . Feeling physically almost normal; mentally is a different story.

Hope Ready's bump is growing wonderfully, and that Sybil's Jamie is coming on.

Hi to everyone else

Don't worry about not meeting up - it'll be a good excuse for us to come on holiday to Cornwall again soon Glad you're physically better but remember to take it easy both physically and mentally. Remember we're all here for you. I know the EP wasn't the same, but I'm happy to listen/help you through the emotional side. Really sorry to hear the milk has gone though but remember you've done fantastically well to BF for so long

Your ep was worse than what i have gone through Thankyou so much, i think i am starting to sound like a broken record on MN, but i have to let it out.

I just feel like i want to ttc again ASAP - GP said ok, but i feel bad to the lost baby, but i do want a dc4. DH & I want to buy an ornament to mark it, we would get a tree but are crap at gardening.

Hope you're having/had a good break here anyway.

We're back home now, had a fab time. I would think your m/c would be harder than EP as I didn't know I was pg therefore hadn't had the chance to start dreaming/planning for a baby. Mind you I find other people's m/c so much harder. My Dsis has had 3 m/c and I get more upset at her bad news than she does, but when IVF didn't take/when I had EP she was more upset than me. I guess I'm just weird!! There's no reason not to ttc again soon, but only when you're ready. You can be more fertile after m/c (sorry if that's the wrong thing to say) I knitted this angel to remember my EP and put her under my bed.

nomore that angel is lovely, so fitting. I guess an angel ornament or a mother and baby sort of being ornament is what we are looking for. I just hate everybody's losses - yours was very upsetting for me, actually, too.

I know, lots of peopel have said to me i will be more fertile after mc, i think its to do with the hormones etc. Im going to ignore my fertile signs and just do what we want for a bit. I mourn the plans i had, the timing was perfect to what i wanted too.

maybe something from here

Just do what you feel like sounds like a really sensible plan. Looking after yourself (and your DH, cause he's grieving too) is the best thing you can do. Do you like these?

I like the mother and child necklace (the one in a heart shape)

they are beautiful

I like the ring and necklace on this link

hereI would get 3 stones - jan for conception, feb for loss and oct for EDD.

That stuff is beautiful, it brought a lump to my throat. I love the idea of the stones for the months, it means something really special to you without everyone asking what it means (which would be my only worry about the overtly baby theme of the first link)

mind you overtly baby themed might not be such a problem for you as you have dc - for me I think people would ask questions - especially those who don't know we're ttc or about the EP.

i think something that only you know is far more precious - the second link is it i think, though you can only get 2 stones, but all 3 dates are so special to me. it would have to be loss and EDD i think.

They also do keyrings, for DH.

I really like the idea of the keyring for your DH. Are you looking at the second necklace (the forget-me-not heart one)? or the ring? I really like the 'tiny footprints' hearts

the very first necklace - just the forget-me-not, you can only have 2 gems though. I will have Feb (loss) and Oct (due)

I really like the simplicity of that one, it's lovely

also right near to the end, the butterfly pendant?

I like the fact you can have 3 stones, but I think I prefer the simplicity of the fisrt one. I like the symbolism of a butterfly though...
