This is the place to be for all those wanting to TTC after miscarriage, or have plans on TTC in the relatively near future. This thread is full of support from people who have been there and no how you are feeling so jump on board and share the Wine and chocolate (or water and celery for those of you off alcohol and caffeine Wink)

The thread moves fast so bob in and out as you please. Ask any questions that have been niggling you or that you are concerned about, perhaps someone here has experienced the same in the past.

If you want to join the stats, just add yourself to the list:

WTTC = waiting to TTC
UCL = usual cycle length

Good luck to all - here's hoping for lots of healthy, sticky BFPs by the end of the thread

Hi mumtum thanks for asking. I'm ok. Feeling much improved than this time last week, last Monday was a real low for me but I've been feeling much better since the back end of last week. Hoping I've turned a corner in my grieving.

Just stuffed myself with jamies fish and mashy peas (broccoli peas and potatoes) yummm!!!

On the ttc front I am bored sh*tless of waiting! We have been swi since weds every other day but still no ov. It's actually due this weds so fx it arrives. So far I have stuck to the SMEP!!! DH is loving it! Thought he'd be sick of it by now!

DH in the kitchen working. He's in IT and his company is rolling out a new system in America next month so he's working US hours for the next 2 weeks. But I'm just so greatful he's here. He had to go over the the states 3 weeks after the mc which was hard and also meant we couldn't ttc during my wtf cycle. Hoping for a bfp this month as it's likely he'll be gone again next time I ovulate! Sad

hey collie i guess i deserve that haddock Blush pass it over .... Hows you? you shouted out to everyone but nothing bout you ????

yrmotb sorry for the af i have a feeling that this month i will be joining you to Sad

Ninunina · 28/02/2011 19:18

Congratulations Hils! That's wonderful news. It feels like only yesterday that we were both on the October pregnancy thread and I saw your bad news. I though to myself...I hope that won't happen to me. Now the tables have turned, and I've seen your post and thought...I hope that happens to me :)

Here's to sticky beans for Hils, Cep, A&R MummyA & Velvet WineWineWine

Youremindmeofthebabe · 28/02/2011 19:08

Thanks collieSmile

Collie2 · 28/02/2011 18:39

LILI really sorry you didn't get a scan pic, and you lost yours cep it took me nearly 2 weeks after our scan for me to look at it again, but I'm glad I have it. I love having the necklace already. I've worn it everyday and it's nice to have something close, but that's private. blackkat stop pondering, do you really need encouraging?

LILI I'm back to creamy today, but less of it. cep I'm using 2 fingers, but I think I need to sit down for it to work. I had also thought I had mastered the art of checking my cervix but I think not, I just don't know if I'm checking the right thing!! Lol I've got some pre seed on order but not sure it will arrive on time. Someone did suggest boots own but I couldn't find it and boots doesn't sell pre seed either.

melies yay to your all clear. It's horrid going back isn't it. I don't think that place will ever be somewhere I'll enjoy visiting ever again.

yrmotb if you're still lurking sorry to hear AF got you. It sucks. I hope your cycle day 1 wasn't to hard, and that you managed to enjoy your birthday

cep · 28/02/2011 18:31

i'm not too worried about the pains to be honest as long as they're not accompanied by any blood.
blackkat it wasn't too bad, just felt sorry for ds that i couldn't go in as much as he wanted me to. and the other little brat of course. Anyway need to bath ds. (and then have one myself) speak to you all later.

chloe are you home yet hon? did you have a good weekend?

MumTumWanted · 28/02/2011 18:22

cep sounds like implantation to me too i have evrything crossed for you ... i hate the running to the loo thing to dosent it just seem like your walking the green mile every time you do, i felt like that over xmas .... half term was full over quality time with my 11 year old dd, she has a horse so we were at horse shows fun days and dressage tests so very busy, but tiring certainly no break for me ! i hate doing the house work to !

blackkat im still covert in fact he has just arrived home so i will be off until later when he goes for a shower.... back to lurking ...

Blackkat · 28/02/2011 18:11

Cep Xposts sorry, funny ache sounds like implantation/first stretching

cep · 28/02/2011 18:10

mumtum did you have a good half term? Mine just thinks it stops me from doing the housework, but i just tell him i never did it before anyway Grin. He also seems to think i put everything on here including what i eat Confused i think he thinks it's some sort of blog or something. I'm ok i've had a funny ache in my stomach all day today so naturally went to loo about a billion times. I just wish i remembered what it was like with ds at this stage. Grin

Blackkat · 28/02/2011 18:09

Hils Congratulations - sounds like a +ve after the -ve means you've won on the WTF cycle, brilliant news.

Melies exciting news about the nice clean womb, happy for you that you are now on the TTC trail again!

Mumtum welcome back - we were worrying about your lack of closet posting

Collie was wondering where you were - hoping you were ok, LOL at your window cleaning emergency and the necklace sounds lovely, what a nice idea

Banana Lili you must be knackered!

Cep sounds like a rotten morning

Hoping Clomid cycle is going ok for Chloe and Lily

MumTumWanted · 28/02/2011 17:58

hi iggly welcome to the thread my dates for mc etc are similar to yours so fingers crossed this is a lucky thread for all of us

right im slowly catching up ....

melliesmum i agree with your thoughts on the 2nd pregnancy thing, i seemed to sail through my first even though i was young and naive, now it just seems such a hard struggle....

blackkat im so pleased you felt some peace after the service, and the DH decided to go with you and such a lovely gesture with the hotel to... but that poor man on his own i welled up thinking about him ...getting through this month x

mouse my hcg levels stayed high for 5 weeks, i had to keep going back to the epu for blood tests to confirm they were droppinbg, in those 5 weeks they fell from over 2000 to last one of 46 it was only when i got to 46 that i got a negative PG test oddly though i did appear to have an af whilst my levels were in the 20's which i was told couldnt happen but did...

hey cep i had to take some time out and as it was half term spent the week with my DD trying not to obsess about ttc, as id begun the 2ww it seemed to make sense, but now i feel like ive left all my new made friends behind, still having to be secret squirrel about logging in though as OH not keen on it think it makes the obsessing worse... and i truely know that 1 week is more than to early but i just coulndt help myself Blush Grin Wink How is everything with you im so genuinely pleased for you but can empathise entirely about how you may be over analysing every twinge if im lucky enough to get a bfp i know im going to be a nutter about it all !

cep · 28/02/2011 17:39

hey mumtum good to see you. glad to see you're ok. 1 week in rather early. Grin i didn't get a pos until 13 dpo, and fr didn't catch anything at 11 dpo so so much for their 6 days before af.
Fx for you hon. hope ff is correct.

MumTumWanted · 28/02/2011 17:29

oh have only read back a few posts and already had to post again Yay Hils a line is indeed a line so fingers crossed for you hun x x x x x x

Also waves out to blackkat, ninu, chloe and collie

and no doubt i will get all excited about something i read as i double back on the posts Oooooooo so exciting ...

more celebration cake for all help selves.....

MumTumWanted · 28/02/2011 17:26

Just poppin opn quick after what seems like being away forever !!! and look whats happened... I will be honest i need to back track and catch up as ive only picked up the BFPs from the list so give me time and hi to all ive not mentioned...

mummya cep vevet and A&R wooooooooooooooooooooooohhoooooooooooooooooooooo congrats ladies i am so so pleased for you all and fx everything goes smoothly for you all... lots of celebratory Wine Wine Wine for those that can and a plate full of craving food for those recently updiffed

As for me ... im 1 week into the dreaded 2ww..... FF tells me my chances are high but i just dont feel positive about it ( needless to say i have POAS and it was a BFN. af is due around 8th Mar so way to early to have POAS this morning but as you all know, i am miss covert and trying to keep rational and the only way i can keep sane with out all your support is by buying a bulk stock of sticks OPK and PG and peeing on them all the time....

hope everyone is all good... im now off to catch up before He arrives home....

cep · 28/02/2011 17:01

wahoooo congratulations hils a line is a line. If you had a -ve since mc then this is definately a new pg. Grin so happy for you.

When you're ready to join a pg group there's a nov 11 antenatal group, which i've started writing on as well. so so pleased for you.

well i've spent the morning at an indoor play area, ds wanted me to go on with him went on the big straight slide a couple of times and a curly wurly one. all these little speedballs running round. There's me a grown woman scared of everything Grin. and i shouted at a little thug who either shuved or hit my ds in the face (i think shuved ds said hit). poor ds crying his head off. I shouted oi and don't you do that. and the kid ran off. Shock

I got what looked like creamy almost lumpy cm during my 2ww.

mel glad everything went well at the epu, i'm afraid i wasn't checking cm after mc so i don't know what mine was like. hope your day got better.

olismum23 · 28/02/2011 15:43

Hills im a week behind you and i am really hoping i will be expecting again soon You have given me such a boost.
As you had a neg before you are pregnant on the WTF cycle!! yey GO hills
As for my previous post i looked up creamy CM after OV and its one potential sign of pregnancy!! FX

maybebabyR · 28/02/2011 15:21

Haha, amazing!

You could always try lying on the floor with your legs crossed AND in the air. Might be a bit tricky if DP isn't there to cater to your every need Grin

Hils74 · 28/02/2011 15:16

Thank you all so much, if I could use fanjo celotape I would! :)

MC was at 5 weeks and was a natural so I think my body just cleared out asap

maybebabyR · 28/02/2011 15:14

Ah, such gopod news hils will be keeping everything crossed for you Smile

meliesmummy · 28/02/2011 15:11

If you lost your baby early last time maybe the pg hormones got cleared out quickly, if you had a bfn a few weeks ago you are up the duff!!!! Sending lots of positive vibes your way, let's hope this lucky streak continues, we all deserve it! Please stick around and keep us posted! x

Collie2 · 28/02/2011 15:04

Sounds to me that you are pg hills WHOOOO!!! If you've had a -ive already then this should def be a new pg. Shouldn't matter if it's faint, a line is a line! Soooo thrilled for you! I really hope it sticks!!!

Wow, maybe this thread really is lucky??!!! I hope so!!!!

Hils74 · 28/02/2011 15:02

It was a medium line, IYKWIM? There was a definate line, but not as dark as the control line...

Got a txt back saying great news, Fx etc, try and call me later :)

meliesmummy · 28/02/2011 14:59

Congrats hills, I really hope this is a new pg, and a sticky one! Was it a faint line or a big fat dark line? Have you got hold of your dp yet?

Hils74 · 28/02/2011 14:56

Yes I did have a -ive 2 weeks ago, so fx crossed this is a new +ive!!!!

Collie2 · 28/02/2011 14:53

Hills have you poas since your mc and had a -ive? If so I think this is definately a new BFP for you, in which case big, huge congrats. If not, it could still be a new bfp and you pg again, or could still be testing +ive from mc. I REALLY hope your going to post back and say that you have had -ive test b4 this. If not, I'll be sitting tight hoping you are indeed pg! It's certainly not unheard of to get pg in your wtf cycle, my friend did!!!
