Ok ok I succumbed to peer pressure to create the thread. This is a place for some of us (and anyone else who wants to join) who have been through the downs of mc and are ready for brighter days and a place to chat nonsense away from the How Are You Feeling Post MC thread. The How Are You Feeling thread should still survive, especially for those newly going through the process, but here we can move on to hopefully brighter days.
Really (newly minted with a BFP and therefore the first of the group to be properly ttc) can kick us off with her no doubt filthy dalliance with a Geology student (was it?) in Crete and we can all pretend we are in a girls' holiday in Ibiza. Grab a glass of sparkly and plonk your (this is virtual so we can look exactly as we want to) toned bikini bodied bum on a bar stool! xx

just off to pack my holiday stuff - turquoise bikini, flip flops and a good cheesy novel. see you later x x (In work but will post how it all went on the other thread later!)
Hello all!
Nice new thread free, thanks for starting it!
It's great to hear from you all.
I can't remember who said what, so will offer some random replies to previous posts....
I think it's natural and (in most cases) inevitable that a post mc pg will be viewed somewhat more nervously than otherwise. OK, most of us will probably be totally paranoid about it. I think the best we can do in that situation is try and relax about it as much as possible while accepting that we now have the sad knowledge that not all pgs work out. Yup, Travel Hopefully...
free, if you're not sure about whether to have children, that's totally fair enough! There's no doubt your life will change completely and irrevocably and if you don't think children will add value to your existence in any way, there's no need to go ahead and have them if you're feeling dubious about it! I certainly wouldn't think any the less of you!
I would still recommend the book I recommended on your "not sure about all this" thread - Naomi Stadlen "What Mothers Do..." - it may help you decide one way or another. It's an interesting read, in any case.
There are a few interesting threads here and there in the Feminist/Women's Rights section of MN that look at the situation wrt SAHMs etc. It can get pretty feisty on there, but I for one have learned LOADS since I started lurking then posting there.
Welcome home, pixie!
How's it going so far Really?
Great to hear from everyone else - sorry not to do copious name-checking.
Just one more, though - michy, how are you doing?
thnx PNJ - that's comforting - I don't want to hijack this thread this that - just wanted to let people know x
pixie x
ps. just in case anyone was wondering - we're v. happy (smiley face)
x x x x
I'm astounded anyone would stop talking to you for that reason, pixie!
Of course you're welcome here!
I have a number of friends who have a child or children and are in a same sex relationship. Including at least one who I know for a fact had a mc with her first pregnancy. After that she went on to have two lovely boys. They're very lucky to have two mums if you ask me (and their dad too - it was an arrangement, but he's on the scene as well).
Oh and I'm also 40, so fellow feeling there too.
Anywhere around there is good for me (assuming I get my brain into gear and can make it). trying to think of somewhere a bit quieter for a drink.....
I am sorry Free you have also had such horrible predudice - I am really not sure why people are the way they are - I like to think it is just naivity and for some reason they think that sexual orientation or skin colour makes them different.
How will we recognise each other.......i think i am fairly non-descript and won't be wearing a turquoise bikini unless the weather improves dramatically
