TTC after MC, ERPC anyone want to join me??

omg...I also have a tilted uterus...surely just a coincidence?

sparkly I realised that I'd NEVER use the expression Aunt Flo for period in real life so goodness knows why I said AF on here, I think I might stop using acronyms! However it did lead me to thinking up a competition for us (yes I do have too much time on my hands!). The winner receives an imaginary bag of percy pigs. I was thinking how funny the conversations on here may have been if we'd all had our different interpretations of what AF stood for. May I get the ball rolling at ....annoying flatulance

Thanks anyway for sharing period updates. Seeing as my body apparently still thinks I'm pregnant I can't see mine arriving any time soon . I want to get wheeling!!

Nurse good question re my hcg, and one I wish I'd asked my OB! Having said that, he's rather conservative and tends to tell me things on a need to know basis. He just said the hcg is 'highish' and that he wants to start monitoring my bloods weekly. Sparkly the only reason I knew anything about my hcg is because my OB did my bloods a week after my mc. Perhaps it was because I (annoyingly) went natural? I'm not sure really!

Beesok I've been wondering the same about sex. I'd think that as long as the bleeding has stopped you'd be ok? I'm no expert tho....it has been a looooong time for me

Happy Wednesday all(I'm not posting in the middle of the night, I'm just a few hours ahead of the UK)!

seems like ive also missed an interesting thread... Dam!!
Well ladies AF arrived swiftly on time this month, 9 weeks after my mmc, thats now my 2nd cycle and it all seems to be back to normal!! Whoop whoop, only bit of good luck i seem to have been given by mother nature over the last few months!!
So im boarding that ttc plane as of next weekend, fingers crossed it all works..
P.s i also have a tilted uterus, hhhmmm any connection there??

Just a quick one to say i love love love reversy percies :).
I have a tilted uterus too so maybe in a few weeks there will be a mass air cycling of legs going off!!!
Sorry Sparkly, haha, if i can't share my yellow-tinged discharge with you guys than who can i??? Hehe!! :o

Hi everyone! I think I missed an interesting discussion - wheeling in the air ha ha ha ha
Well, I have to confess I did the whole bum and legs up too but I am so going to wheel this time!!!!!!!
Not sure if it really helps or not but I have a tilted uterus so I heard it helps ;)

Tomorrow will be one week post op! It's weird, feels like it was a long time ago....I have stopped bleeding/spotting do you guys think it's OK to have sex? My hubby is going on a business trip for 10 days and I am suddenly really horny

Re going out, we have been out a few times - low key stuff and mostly with people who don't know which was actually better! and thankfully no one pregnant in my circle of friends ;)

I have been going to the gym though and am trying to motivate myself to go for a quick run later tonight ;)

sparkly - just saw your v funny post about pouncing on DH and then bicycle wheeling - pouncing I know and understand but am v curious about the wheeling - can you enlighten me?!

nurse| - it was a bit of a struggle to go to a party last Fri night but actually had a v good time (resulting in first hangover for about 10 weeks which was hard to take!)

I don't feel like going out at all nurse! At least my cold has got me out of snubbing congratulating the pregnant wife of DH's friend, who will be all glowy and bumpy at the Christmas markets tomorrow. How have people got their hcg levels, this is all very high tech! I feel like I've just been left to get on with things, and muddle through

sparkly I think AF stand for 'Aunt Flow' but not sure. i don't mind talking about periods either. I only stopped bleeding/spotting about 3 days ago and i'm not quite 2 weeks from ERPC so it may be a while yet for me. But I'll keep you updated about any signs/discharge if you are interested?

nurse I haven't been out with anyone except DP since the bad news but I'm on a rampage tonight. I am expecting tears....but I think that will also do me good.

I think going to the gym did me good, really should have done a bit more work though. Oh well there is always tomorrow!

Happy to share! Is an AF a period? Couldn't find it on the acronym list and don't want to get the wrong end of the stick, it could lead to all sorts of misunderstanding! My period arrived last Sunday after more stomach cramps than usual but nothing to panic about. So that's 5 weeks after my erpc, and didn't have any spotting in between so take it to be the real deal. It lasted nearly a week but was no heavier than usual.

I think I may be ovulating towards the end of next week or thereabouts, so will see how things transpire in terms of frantically casually working out when it is actually happening, using the dual indicators of general horniness and the presence of EWCM. I will then pounce on DH casually suggest intercourse, and remember to bicycle my legs in the air afterwards (once he is out of the room, clearly), as I'm sure that swayed things first time round

Welcome lemon but of course, sorry that you're here.

Thanks brought for the info - yep it sounds like you're all clear if your poas was -ve. Feeling envious of your bedroom action....I think I've forgotten how!!!

Erm...will we be sharing when our AFs start again? I know mine will prob be a long way off as my hcg is still high but I really want to get back to normal asap.

Thanks sparkly I feel a bit silly now - it certainly caused a reaction didn't it. I'm glad I said something though. Yup, I've tried reversy percys, these are actually phizzy percy pig tails, yum! Not many left in fact....
I look forward to you dropping us like hot potatoes, in the very nicest possible way - your message really made me laugh!

Aw, sorry Meltobe. Resist the lure! I popped onto the Jue thread to check for you and all is well, your words have not been misconstrued and you have been sent hugs. I was feeling quite defensive for you actually! Seems that whomever did it felt awful about adding themselves and just deleting people who they knew had sadly had to drop off, they all seemed lovely and it's a bit of a minefield really isn't it? I've gone from dithering, to conceiving, to miscarrying, to trying again, and you'll be dropped like hot potatoes when I conceive again
Easier said than done to not post when upset/annoyed as that's partly the purpose of being on here. That and to discuss our discharge
Big hugs to you, the jelly sweets will give you a lovely boost. Have you tried the Percy Reverseys? Hom x

doh, I seem to have lost the ability to cross out words....

Thanks wonnay you're very sweet. I didn't look for anyone else but I wouldn't look if I were you, it's not good! I think that has been my final sign that I need to stop looking. On the plus side I just received a little package of percy pigs from my sister, yum yum. Off to eat the whole bag one or two now

And now I'm tempted to go and see if I'm still there.... agh! have to run so no time now....

Ah meltobe - this is the place to vent and be upset. It's a horrible thing to see and it is NOT your fault for looking - we've all been doing it. Sorry that it has upset you, especially after having had such a good day. Sending lots of warm thoughts x

May I vent? I'd just got back from a really lovely day, in fact my happiest yet since mc, logged on to mn and STUPIDLY read Jue in June - I knew it'd come back to bite me - someone has started up the orginal stats again and I'm still on there. It has really upset me. I couldn't help myself but I posted a message asking them not to use the original stats - I know no one would wanted to have caused any upset but it struck me as a little insensitive. Did I do bad? I tried to word it nicely but I think perhaps I should have just not still been looking in the first place, my fault I guess..... I probably managed to come across as a horrible bitter person which wasn't my intention, eek

Hi everyone and welcome to lemonsherbert - sorry that you are in a position to be on this particular thread, but it's a great support and everyone is lovely. What were you out celebrating?

LOL at Shreddie incident sparkly!

yellowtomato - sounds like a great day ahead of you - enjoy!

I'm getting v frustrated with the bleeding - it seems to be v stop / start (ERPC now 10 days ago) and we are off for our lovely romantic weekend to the Banyan Tree resort here tomorrow. I probably only have myself to blame for not managing my expectations properly - silly wombat....

Talking of silly wombats, has anyone seen those "Walk on the Wild Side" Talking Animal BBC clips on youtube? Here's a to one of them - there are lots. Excellent tonic if you're feeling a bit down x

Morning ladies

Sorry to have been a bit despondent lately, I think it is all just catching up with me. Am feeling soooooo tired today and still quite emotional. I was teary whilst reading something about the royal wedding (!) that is so not normal.

But in an effort to get a grip and pull myself together I am off to the gym now for a run, will then have an afternoon nap and am going out with a good friend tonight to drink a lot of wine........so I'll be able to tell you all about my hangover tomorrow!

Sparkly yup, ET gets me every time too!

Welcome lemon

I would also love to be pg asap but I guess I'm just trying to keep hopes down and be realistic as is took a year both previous times.....well I guess you never know, may be third time lucky?

How is everyone else doing today?

Just tucking into brekkie at work and catching up with you ladies when got to 'yellow-tinged discharge' and choked on a shreddie I must time things better, I always seemed to be eating my toast during the headlice and brown toe-nails ads at home. Also snickered at wonnay almost shoulder-barging the pregnant lady, love these evil thoughts, so cathartic!
I'm still full of cold and back to being broody today, got a bit sad on the way to work as fluey tears were streaming down my face anyway and I felt terribly sorry for myself, which culminated in me picturing a snuggly baby in a babygro, and going 'waaaaaaah' inside. Managed to hold it together bar my now mascara-less visage. Looking good! Don't mind anyone mentioning weight by the way, I always devour people's weight versus height, same as I now check how old celebrities are/were when they have their children, to give me hope (am 36, tickety tock).
Star, does ET make you cry? I practically hyper-ventilate with grief! I'm a 36FF by the way, so goodness knows what will happen during pregnancy/breast feeding, they'll be like two veiny blimps! I can't wait until Jan/Feb to be pregnant, I have decided it must be now, this minute, and sod the Chirstmas champers. Echo everyone else in that there is no way I could skip along to the 12 week mark without constant testing/knicker checks/boob squeezing/made-up cravings and general panic though.
Welcome lemon and snuffly pathetic waves to everyone else x

Hi ladies , lemon sorry for you having to be on here but welcome all the same.
meltobe My natural lasted 10 days but I only bled for 2 days after I passed "it" and have now been completely clear for a week. I POAS and was negative so I guess that is saying all mine has gone ?
We have resumed our bedroom activity... But not properly trying until the new year when hopefully my AF will have been.
DH and I have a "date" on friday, My parents are having our DC's and we are off to watch Peter Kay then staying over, am really looking forward to it.
Sending virtual hot toddies to you guys with colds xxxx

Hi Lemon. Seeing as you mentioned bleeding and spotting for a month after the ERPC, did they considering scanning you to make sure everything was out? Have you not had any bleeding then the past week.
I had mine 9 days ago and have just had my first day without wearing a pad. A wee bit of yellow-tinged discharge but that's been it. Hoping that that's my bleeding finished. I have heard about 7 weeks is what it could take post op to have a period but you need 3 weeks of no bleeding/spotting apparently before getting your period to officially call it a period. Not sure how true this is but it's just soething i have seen either on here or other miscarriage info sites on the net. Maybe then, yours will show up in the next week to ten days hopefully.
Glad you enjoyed your night :)

Never mind...thanks anyway :) x

Can I also join. I am sorry am a little bit tippsy since been celebrating and did not make it through the past posts. Will try to read it when can focus a bit better. My condolences to all the other ladies that are on her post-erpc.

My story had an early scan at about 8 weeks, which showed no heartbeat. Then had to wait till the 15th october for an ERPC. Then bleed and spotted for about the next month, so till last week. Still no sign of AF. Feel like I have no idea what my body is doing. Am waiting for the next AF and then I would like to start TTC.
