Ooh thanks mel!
really I'm just mc'ing too, so back to ttc soon. I am not cutting my hair off! I did that in January after my mmc though and am now trying to grow it again . Sodding hormones!!
Oops have forgotten all the posts from t'other thread now.....
mel how are getting on?? Any more symptoms?
collie I've been thinking of you today lovely x
I stupidly went to work today, it was a nightmare! No one knew about last mc never mind this one, so have spent the day with a Joker stylee grin slapped on my face. Dh has been an angel and done the housework after an early finish.

lucky lucky new thread.
Hi Brasso, welcome to the thread. 
to see you here but it's a great thread and very supportive.
melies Please could you move me up on the list, CD2 today. Not brave enough to do the stats myself . Yesterday's AF was def AF. It's been so long I forgot how uncomfortable it is.

really just marking my spot ont he new thread fx its a lucky one.....
welcome to the newbies that you have to be here but everyone very welcoming.
freelance As for should you / shouldnt you wait the obvious reason for waiting is that it makes dating the next one easier if you fall straight away and GPs seem to prefer this. i think the biggest reason to wait realistically though is until you feel mentally ready x hope that helps a little..... fwiw i said i was going to wait til after my 1st af after my mc in dec, thought i had af in jan but realised in feb i actually hadnt, however we did start ttc after my jan one, not lucky enough yet to have had bfp but im 3 days into my 2ww of possible 2nd cycle post mc so fx > i think this bit is bad looking out and phantom symptom spotting !!!!
shares around lots of 
for those alos not out partying on this friday night

Marking my place on new thread though I haven't been posting for a while - sorry
Welcome to the newbies - nice to meet you but sorry you have to be here
freelance we waited for one AF (which took almost 7 weeks to come after ERPC, the waiting killed me) - although I have no idea what my cycles are doing now, I'm on cycle 2, last cycle went to 33 days, which is unheard of and got my hopes up.
Totally know what you mean about mc giving you the "need" to get pg, whereas you were pretty laid back before, dh thinks I've turned into a nutter! One of my work colleagues wife had the same thing on her third pg - had only ever planned on two, had a "little surprise" 3rd pg, mc'd, and then informed him that they must try for no.3 - all worked out well but I did think it was v interesting...
(((collie))) big hug for a tough day
waves to everyone else and promises to hang out here more often...

Hi Meliesmummy I did night shifts for over a year and although on paper it was a great job, the night shifts were so hard on my body! Cortisol holding on to fat etc, sleep becomes so important. I hope you manage well with it. I started on pregnacare and went on to Santagon just as the doc gave me it for free and I started taking selenium this morning. I had already been told to take it by an endo last year, kicking myself for not doing it even though it wasn't tcc related at the time. Or yes I could just eat brazil nuts too. I can't yet work out what does of selenium - some say 100mcg some say 200.
Thanks Wellie (totally agree about the mc creating a need that wasn't previously there) and Collie too. Sorry you are spotting Collie, it must be so worrying. But it DOES seem totally normal for a lot of people to have that so it's important that you stay positive about it. I realise it must be very scary.
I imagine it will also be a long wait until I get AF (can I confess I don't know what this stands for 
but I have deduced its meaning!). Especially as have always had rubbish long cycles.
From what I have read on here I am thinking I need to:
Get some tests in so I can get a BFN and or first AF post MC first (after bleeding stopped/check up)
Work out when am ovulating (just guessed before, rarely any outward signs picked up on)
Invest in some ovulation sticks?
Keep taking Selenium, pre-preg vits (inc Folic Acid)
But not wait until referrals for tests come through. I figure if these do arrive and am already pg they can test/help support me through that?
