So near, yet so far! Holiday villa for those waiting TTC#1 having suffered mc

Hi all,

I need to take a holiday with some lovely peeps in the same position; I'm TTC#1 but had 2 mc's this year and now discovered my luteal phase is only 9 days (anything under 10 considered a defect) and probably the reason that I cannot retain a pregnancy.

If you have yet to be blessed with motherhood because mc has cruelly taken away your chance so far, then this is the place to retreat for some R & R whilst your body recovers.

Pull up a sun lounger, and lie back for some lighthearted banter and support whilst monitoring cycles or undergoing investigation and wash down the Vit B6, Agnus Castus, Progesterone and Clomid with a lovely vodka glass of sparkling spring water!!

ha ha! Hope you'll be wearing a lovely pointy shoe for the arse kicking!!
Also, and I know that the people that say this, say it with all good intention and mean well but I'm kinda over hearing ''at least you know you can get pregnant''!! I am so glad that this is brought to my attention...lucky me!!!!

ah, look at all the lovely gal's by the pool! aren't we a pretty bunch!

I'm thinking that since this is all about R&R we just chill out and support one another and don't keep a stat's list here? whata ya reckon my bikini clad beauties?

choccy can I carry your bags to greece for you? I won't complain about my lack of holiday this year so far as we are off to Oz for three weeks in Oct/Nov (not all it's cracked up to be, that's where the in-laws are!!).

x yeah lets hope this lounging in the sun brings lots of beans x
Going to Greece next week so hope above mentioned works.

DachshundsRule · 09/09/2010 19:02

I'm going to join too.

7 years TTC, 1 pg (discovered in June, mc end July)

I'm just going to lie here in the sun for a bit and hope that the IUI produces a sticky bean...

Velvetcu · 09/09/2010 18:39

Hello I'll join you guys too.

I'm TTC #1, my bean was due 3 weeks after our 10yr wedding anniversary :(

I'm glad you started this thread. I'm finding it hard with no DCs to distract me from my thoughts and people are soooo bloody nosey about your plans to start a family!

kat2504 · 09/09/2010 18:38

Hi there I've come with cocktails and suntan lotion and a large pack of multivitamins!

I am now TTC #1 after a mc which was discovered six weeks ago. Ironically we weren't actually trying when we conceived.

Cycle all over the place, first period came only 9 days after positive opk. Will be monitoring this when things have calmed down as quite worried by reading about luteal phase stuff. Just hope it happens without me having to get too mental with the poas and the opk and the bbt and the ewcm and all the lovely details. Am already doubting my sanity.

Hi Owl, so glad to see a friendly face by our pool :) That's so sad to lose a honeymoon bean! fx this is a lucky thread!

Having done all the reading it looks like I could try Agnus Castus although there is lots of conflicting info about this, so I am just going to go see the GP next week to discuss the possibility of taking progesterone that I understand from all my research is the medically recommended solution...watch this space!

Aw, hello there :)

Mind if I pull up a sun lounger? I am TTC#1 and conceived on honeymoon (whoop!) but had a mc (boo). Not the best way to start married life.

That is a right pain with the 9 day luteal phase; is there anything you can take to elongate it?
