If you are TTC after Miscarriage (or waiting to start trying again), this is the place to be. This thread is full of lots of lovely ladies on the post MC rollercoster and is full of support and advice from people who have been through it, and know what you are going through.
Jump on board and join in the for some laughter, crying or even the odd ranting (whatever you need). There?s lots of Wine, Brew (caffeine free of course Smile ) and chocolate, and more importantly, friendly ?ears?.

The thread moves fast so bob in and out as you please. Don?t be afraid to ask anything ? nothing is ever TMI!!!

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

WTTC = waiting to TTC
UCL = usual cycle length
WFT cycle = what the f*uck cycle (cycle after mc but before first AF)
For more accronyms see here

Good luck to all ? The last one was a lucky thread for lots of people so here's hoping for lots more healthy, sticky BFPs by the end of the thread Grin

This is the previous thread

Stats to follow.

Mumtum, i did enjoy it, thank you. In a daze for a lot of it but great not to have to cook and clean. DH was great and let me rest loads.

Cep, thank you so much for sending me that link - it's brilliant. Absolutely answered all my questions.

Is it too early to add me to the stats list? Do I have to wait for my 1st cycle? Am being very dim, apologies in advance xxx

meliesmummy · 25/03/2011 16:58

thanks in advance melies for doing the new thread

Reallyusefulengine · 25/03/2011 16:51

Chloe Nice to know I'm not alone in my reaction. I think I'll try to stop again erm, maybe next weekend..? Not sure, or do what you're doing and just have a few.

Cep Hello! How are you doing? Thank you for the links, am about to read through them. I do actually like my hair, it has grown on me (ha ha) over the last week. And oh good god, it takes half the time to wash etc. Am just thinking I shouldn't have chopped 8 inches off without thinking about it first - a total impulse, on the high street, next thing I was sitting in the chair shouting 'cut it off!'.

Youremindmeofthebabe · 25/03/2011 16:49

Go for it meliesSmile

meliesmummy · 25/03/2011 16:35

I'll start the new thread then, it means I don't have to worry about it tomorrow when I'm tired, plus I've got a few mins whilst dd is occupied in the garden with dh, just give me time to get the laptop on!

cep · 25/03/2011 16:18

mel we've taken them out now, will see tonight if makes any difference. i'm exhausted in everyway i can think of. It's up to you, i can't imagine them doing 70 posts tonight though.

really if you haven't already seen them have a read of the links below. Do you like your shorter hair??

really I was reading your post with a Sad face but have finished it with a Grin I started smoking again the day I found out about the MC and did smoke heavily (and drink) for a good few weeks then stopped. Then started....then stopped...then started, I am crap Sad Am prob having about 10 a week at the moment which is a great improvement for me but considering I have stopped caffeine, cut down the wine, taking supplements etc etc you'd have thought I could cut out the cigs completely! I am kinda feeling like it is my only sneaky vice at the moment though and those few I have with a glass of wine just about keep me sane Wink I am very good at stopping completely when pg though, I find it much easier to consider the life inside me than my own Blush

melies your cycle is sounding so similar to mine last month, I hope it ends a bit more successfully for you though.

collie How has today gone? Did your nan get a good send off? Don't get me wrong I hate hate hate funerals but one good thing I find about them is the opportunity to see friends and family you rarely see and having a good catch up, I find it therapeutic. Hope you are ok.

Reallyusefulengine · 25/03/2011 15:52

Hello magpie watchers,

I hope everyone is well, I have been thinking of you. I have been away, so am trying to catch up on the last 2 weeks of messages. I miscarried on holiday which obviously made bikini wearing out of the question, and had to spend an inordinate amount of time running to the bathroom. Luckily no lone magpies jumping into my path. So, have now been bleeding for 2 weeks, had one day when it all seemed to happen so am pretty sure it is complete... just pretty light bleeding now. No idea what to expect next.. when I'll get AF or can try again etc. I stupidly started smoking again on hols so will need to knock that on the head again if I want to start trying. Which on one hand I do, so much but on the other hand am too scared and would rather smoke and drink ALOT of wine. I also cut all my hair off. I am glad I am having such a mature reaction! Luckily I don't live near a tattooist. Grin.

meliesmummy · 25/03/2011 14:48

Shall I start the new thread before I leave for work? I'll need to use the laptop. I wouldn't want you all to run out of chat room!

meliesmummy · 25/03/2011 14:45

Cep I take it ds still isn't sleeping then? Sounds exhausting! Did you take the drawers out?

How did it go collie?

Hi Vegas, good luck with swi!

Well, I'm still none the wiser. I'm still having blood stained/brown cm on wiping but nothing on a sanitary towel. I'm still obsessively knicker checking! I'm meant to be napping but can't sleep.

collie Big hugs for today and I hope you feel a sense of peace amongst all the heartache today.

meliesmummy · 25/03/2011 07:20

Just a quick one, dh is sorting dd out so I can have a lie in, I've been awake since 5 and working tonight so need a rest. I just wanted to say to collie that I'll be thinking of you today, I hope that it all goes well and that you are able to say goodbye x

Hi to everyone else

Hope it's all ok at home blackkat

Minnie74 · 24/03/2011 21:07

Hi all

mel hope you're feeling a bit more cheery now- i know how you feel though all everyone seems to talk about at work is babies at the moment, and my friend is due in a couple of weeks. Plus a friend's sister is due on my due date with twins which were 'an accident!' All she seems to do is moan about it from what I can tell. I know it must be hard work but I'd love to be able to moan about that!

Just seen I'm added to the list but I don't know how to update my CD etc.

Thanks for adding me in though cep (I think).
I'm ttc 1 UCL 28 and CD 11. I'll add it if a kind lady tells me how!

Got peak day on the monitor this morning so DP had a nice wake up surprise!- had to do my mascara laid on my back afterwards mind you. Not as easy as you'd think! Don't know whether we should dtd again later to be sure. Any thoughts?

Really really hoping this is a lucky month xx

Hi Melies, she is still coughing like a heavy smoker at night but otherwise seems much better. I think she's on the mend. Fingers crossed it'll last this time.

meliesmummy · 24/03/2011 19:45

Hi Tokyo how's your dd?

meliesmummy · 24/03/2011 19:44

Oh collie, of course you are sad, I hope that tomorrow gives you some peace. As for the lack of cramps, I don't remember having any with dd but I did during my last pg (which were weeks earlier than my mc and nothing at all to do with it given that my body held onto the baby for 3 weeks after the heart stopped) so every pg is different so please try not to worry x

I'm fairly sure this spotting is from my cervix, it's too thin and mucousy to be af. So I'm trying my best not to worry too but I can't help wondering if everything will ever get back to normal, I convince myself af is about to get me and feel sad but sort of expect it. Then I have nothing for a few hours and think maybe not, and get round to thinking maybe it's a pg sign only to have a bit more and the circle starts again!!! I'm neurotic I know!

Hi Brooke, sounds exhausting but hope it's worked for you!

Tokyotwist · 24/03/2011 19:41

Hi everyone,

I've just got home after a wonderful week with family. It's been wonderful being looked after by my Mum and then coming home to the lovely sunshine. And today my AF finally came. Well I think it is anyway. It's very very light but it can't be anything else as its over 5 weeks since I had any bleeding from the MC.

I'm off to catch up with the thread. But Yay AF (hopefully).

Collie2 · 24/03/2011 18:43

harassed glad you've had the day off, how are you? Don't rush back into anything too quickly. ((hugs)) can't believe they won't count your prev mc bcs with another partner. What a stupid policy.

brooke wow 5 times! Fx it did the job.

cep your poor little ds. Bless him. Give him a cuddle for me.

chloe great news re the job.

Grin @ mels poking around not taking own advice. Just try and tell yourself for every moment that AF is not here, it's a good thing. There's noone worse than me for stressing about not knowing what's going on, but it doesn't help, and in a few days you'll know (if only I could take own advice)

I'm feeling quite Sad and weepy. Had lovely lunch and nice day at work, but as soon as left office just felt so sad. Had lump in my throat all the way home. I know it must be the thought of the funeral tomorrow. I'm dreading it. I just don't want to say goodbye. Still not feeling pg, and no real cramps to speak of for couple of days, but just lacking energy to worry.

cep · 24/03/2011 18:05
