Welcome Tallybear and Rachk32 So sorry you find yourselves here but make yourselves comfy there are some very knowledgeable ladies here who are very supportive.

Others will most probably be more informative but I think mixed up cycles is the norm for the first couple of af following a mmc. Fingers crossed it will change to a bfp but several others have had delayed ovs in the weeks after. Do you know when/whether you ov'd?

Rachk32 silly question but have you tested to see if you have had a bfp post mmc? Have you been scanned to make sure it has all cleared? I think things being a bit random is normal but always best to check, I suppose. I had my first af post ERPC about two weeks ago - so I am not sure what the next cycle will be like!?

hi there, im also a newbie, im 7 weeks on from my mmc, natural at 13 weeks. I got my first period 5 weeks after my mmc on the 27th of october and it lasted around 4 days, then last week i started to bleed again??? Very strange...
New a fresh period, quite old blood and a little clottie still (sorry) so think my body still isnt quite back to its normal self, im sure i will be able to tell if o get my af on the 27th of nov??
Sorry for your loss, and good luck with the ttc. X

Hello all,

New to this thread and I haven't read all 33 pages so apologies if this has been covered already (or if this is even the right thread!) but I have a question/query/worry and hoping someone can help...

Mmc in August: first period 7 1/2 weeks later, next one was due last Friday (i.e. 29 Oct - 9 days ago) but nothing yet! Before the mmc I was always 27-29 (most months was spot on 28 days). I've done two tests but both -. We are ttc again so I was really expecting a +. Could the mmc and erpc have messed up my cycle? I've never been this late before without being pg (well, once!). Argh. Where's that wine and choc..... (or should I not be drinking wine???!)

mouse I had a couple of days of spotting every couple of weeks after my erpc, until my proper period. Around 8 weeks after erpc WTF indeed..

Hello all. I am much more content today. Still no sign of AF, but am more positive, I went to a wedding last night, and just thought that, you know what, life goes on. I can't control this really, just gotta keep on doing what I'm doing, and my time will hopefully come. I think that I may have December off anyway, I've got so much planned, and could do with a bit of a month long blow out really!

We took ds skiing at 2.5, nix In retrospect it was perhaps a little young.. you forget how exhausting it is really. And he didn't love the french teachers, who were all a bit brusque. Plenty of boarding time for us though.

PFF hope you enjoy your meal and family visit.

chocky nice to have you back!

They do a blog connected to mumsnet don't they? Will find a link dachs and ladybee

Must change my name back too, not long til the christmassy one!

Love to all, hope all are well.

Hi again, just noticed blood streaked cm. Is that normal? Had a bit a couple of days ago but thought that was because we'd DTD. Aaagh! So confused! x

I wish :( Tamworth not great but only snowdome I've been to and of course nothing compares to real runs. Milton Keynes is meant to be better. If not pg (I wish) in Jan/Feb we might go somewhere

I looked at pics on FF and was a positive OPK

fondant chill factore in manchester is good so am told! bit far for you though!

orange I will reduce my down to just , I was preparing for you to tell me that you live in Austria and the runs had just opened..... :) I've never been in the uk, there's a snow dome at Hemel hempsted that I'm quite keen for but have never made it before so keen to hear what you think of tamworth! Hope you have a fab day!!!!

pink and goats I'm going to Tamworth, so not the same but better than nothing. Where do you normally go? I know someone who took their 1.5 yr old skiing, only a bit and held them all the time

urban thanks for the tip, I'll look for those on FF to compare :)

Hi mousebacon I don't blame you, I'd be trying now if DH would let me :)

Chill factore? or indoor somethibng like that? FAB! cant wait to take DS....sadly not til age 4 in the uk for lessons..... 3 abroad! Pennies allowing will be going to Stowe in winter :)

Hi ladies, have tried to catch us as best as poss but think it'll be an epic fail on my part!

Still on WTF cycle here it's 34 days since mc and 22 since erpc. I have had what I thought was ewcm but am no sign of a temp rise and now no cm at all (I guess that's why they call it WTF) am keeping my eyes peeled for any sign of an egg though and am going to go for it rather than wait. I have ridiculously long and unpredictable cycles so don't want to miss a single chance.

Here's hoping for an egg before xmas

sorry for not namechecking. Hope you all have a lovely Sunday xx

Hi everyone

Just a wee life-sign. Havent popped in since getting back home and have been extremely busy.
Havent had a chance to read whats happening around here but hope you´re all okay.

I´m trying to be mentally laid back this month and will concentrate on flab-fighting the until Christmas.

need to catch up on whats been going on...

Good morning lovely ladies hope you are all doing as well as can be expected xx
orange I'd never opked before so I lined them all up and put time & date on them!! Bit gross but I didn't really know what I was looking for & was doing at various times...prob would have missed ov as I was looking for that very dark line....which I didn't get....fertility friend also has a gallery of photos you can look at...All very diff lines for positive results....good luck! Enjoy snow boarding x

just wanted to send EXTRA BIG HUGS to mummya you are in my thoughts...xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hope you all have a lovely day and a great
week ahead nicks a&r dachs pretty Pff izzy betweener orange Wombat bee chocs velvet bat owl kat apples caribou digital knitter mummya and all lurkers & anyone I've forgotten sorry.....

LOVE TO ALL

Just a quickie, orange where are you going snowboarding today????

Thanks nix I'm fine thanks, have got SIL and BIL over for the weekend and we're off out for lunch with the inlaws for lunch so should really shower and go and look presentable! I have destroyed my detox this weekend..... Ho hum, reckon weekday detox has to be better than no detox at all, maybe??!?!

Who is in charge of fish-slapping in here today. Here's my chart - FF tells me I'm only 3 DPO but TBH there was absolutely no EWCM when it said I ov'ed and I think my cervix was much lower. So, my new way of getting my hopes up is that my chart looks suspiciously similar to the tri-phasic pregnancy one in TCOYF Gah I am so not allowed to start this ridiculous hope getting-up-ness this month, so I've decided that if AF hasn't rocked up and temperatures haven't plummeted, I'm going to resist testing until at least Friday 15th.

Hope you're all having a fab weekend, will check in properly tonight xx

Ooo. Orange that sounds like my perfect day :)

thanks goat sorry didn't mean to single you out

i've had nothing for 3 weeks, then a fairly dark line for the last 2 days along with ewcm. I'm assuming this will be a bit wtf, so not too concerned yet if I can't tell pos from neg! what I like about here is that people tell the truth not what i want to hear

inbetweener sorry it wasn't positive for you. I've told dh about OPK too, but not thermometer yet. I know what you mean, it's still a novelty for him, he's still looking forward to all the 'trying' but a few months down the line might be a different story.

YRMOTB sorry for the BFN, gym is good therapy

Bacon sandwiches then snowboarding for me today :)

hi all - hope you're all wrapped up warm if you're out enjoying fireworks tonight. We considered it but after a busy morning out for brunch with friends, we were both too knackered to consider heading out to our local fireworks display. Actually it wasn't getting out there that was daunting but the trip home again - with a tired and overexcited DS - ugh.
So we've been watching them out the window, it seems enough excitement for DS at this stage

mummyabroad I'm sorry I wasn't around to say goodbye for a bit, I really do hope you keep reading even if you don't feel like posting very often, I'd really hope you let us help you as you move through this journey, and pray that it's to a successful outcome.

Dachs sorry you've been finding this IVF cycle difficult. I'm not surprised - it's a huge undertaking, one I think that isn't really talked about in the media where IVF seems to be viewed almost as a lifestyle choice. I really hope that you get a good lots of eggs to retrieve and that several of them fertilise nicely. Do you read any blogs? I read an old one called A little pregnant, and find it both interesting and helpful, she links to lots of others. Maybe if you don't want to feel the obligation of posting (and believe me, no one expects posting, it's just nice to hear from people from time-to-time) then a one-way blog might work?

I've made a start on TCOYF - I'd borrowed a friend's Zita West book previously which covers quite a lot but with a lot of emphasis on diet as well (pah!), and had done the FF charting lessons. So far it seems pretty much most of what I already knew but good to remind of me the finer details.

Youremindme - that's such a pain about the -ve test. Any sign of AF?

inbetweener sorry. again. Glad you told your DH though. Now you can order some more

nicks get that GP appt sorted and go for the bloodwork, got nothing to lose right?

Right, we have a film on and it has John Cusack and he needs my full attention now.

orange no i dont usually ov at that time, hence the bizarre posts! I have UCL 35 ish, late ov and last month i ov (confirmed opk) CD2324 thats why i was purturbed. This month cd11 EWCM but neg opk! Bonkers - i think body still getting back to normal post mc - only 2 periods ago see!

I would say that if the opk is still feint and you are drinking lots, (i drink lots but on the day of pos the lines were VERY dark!) i would argue that they arent perhaps a positive?

waves - good bonfire, and kids party! DS very tired and is now developing feint spots,..... been fighting of something and chicken pox round his pre-school..... heres hoping :) bout time it wasnt 'just a virus' and we had one of the biggies!!

between do you have a UTI? sorry it was neg.... maybe early?

Babes sorry :( rubbish!!!!! must be a faulty stick! sending hugs xxxx

velvet bonkers arent they cycles! Will keep eyes peeled on your stats then :)

Izz DH was very obliging last night having said that it hurt! I think def wasnt ov. EWCM was there, cervix felt spongy but neg opks! EWCM was only there for one wipe too, but quite a lot. With my hairy chin, spots i am gonna speak to doc for a pcos test. Doc was sending me on one the month i conceived..then i never went! So there may be some truth in oracles prediction!

wombat sorry you cant keep up, me either and it popped my head earlier in the week. Hope you are ok xx

Any news on hairy and caribou?

fondant are you ok?

Yep I have managed to pee............on a stick..............BFN..........off to clean the house in a fury and wait for AF.

Oh by the way, I showed DH the OPK's I got from Amazon.
He thought it was highly amusing but at least he didnt call me a psycho so I guess I will try those. Glad I have told him, hate hiding things. Although I get the distinct impression that the longer this goes on, the less enthusiastic DH will get .

Anyway, fireworks and funfair tonight, followed by a chinese and a large vodke when they are in bed and x factor on catch up. BLISS

nix I'm cd 19 but my last cycle was 42 days. I have never temped before so have no idea how long my LP is or when I ov'd (if i did at all) in the 2 "normal" cycles I have had post-erpc. I has a temp dip yesterday but its back high again today. Am still sort of SWIing just in case something crazy is going on.

YRMOTB BFNs are soo crushing arent they :( hope you work off some annoyance at the gym.

inbetweener i too hope you have managed to pee!

inbetweener that's bizarre - hope you have managed a wee by now and are not about to pop!

YRMOTB . Will keep fingers crossed it's just too early.

What is going on with all our cycles at the minute?!

I cant pee is what I meant !!

Morning everyone!

Mummya I'm so sorry you're having such a shitty time. Big big hugs xxx

Dachs good to hear from you! Sorry it's tough but good luck for the egg collection. I've got everything crossed for you!

Everyone else - I'm stuggling to keep up with the thread and make personal comments back to you all, but I'm thinking of you all xxx
