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

laylasmummy i am in the same position as you in the WTF and in the end i just gave up to , my MC was 29th Dec and i still not sure ive had a defo af had 4 days of bleeding but old blood.... though i think i may be due AF soon

olismum23 · 06/03/2011 19:24

Hi all did not stay away long and I did lurk chloe not very good at this waiting I have took at test every morning BFN obviously so i bought tests I cant use till the day my AF is due, obviously I don't know this but 13th/14th of feb was when i stopped bleeding so I will wait till 13th.

I am formally asking all you ladies to help me stay strong and advoid my POAS addiction.

Hello my name is Olismum23 and I am addicted to poas.......

laylasmummy09 · 06/03/2011 13:55

thanx melies fx its af i havent been ttc as i wanted to wait til after the WTF cycle so if af is on its way at least i will know where i am, i am desperate to TTC ASAP and if i dont get af soon ill give up waiting and just DTD Smile

shorty100 · 06/03/2011 13:10

Thanks, I mentioned it to my doctor when saw him for my chest infection friday, all I got was a 'i'm not sure I don't really know anything about that' so was really helpful. Think I will ring the epu tomorrow.

hadrian · 06/03/2011 13:02

Hi shorty I MC'd on Christmas Eve and got my first AF on 16th Feb which if my maths is right is about 8 weeks. I was tearing my hair out too but fx everything seems to be working again now. Don't despair!

meliesmummy · 06/03/2011 13:00

Thanks cep wine was nice, only had 1 glass tho and still woke up with a headache! I guess I'm not back into the swing of things yet!

laylas here's some tmi - my cervix was really high yesterday, I'm bleeding now so could be af on the way? Or could you be pg? Have you tested?

shorty I know it xan take ages for everything to settle, but it might be worth chatting to your gp if you're worried.

Whoohoo hadrian time to get busy!

All I'm going to be getting busy with is the ironing, dh is painting the kitchen ceiling and dds in bed. I'm still bleeding, it's more mucousy now and lighter, I'm finding it strange that I've had no pain at all.

laylasmummy09 · 06/03/2011 12:48

thanx cep, ill be quite happy to take on your share of the Wine if that helps Grin

cep · 06/03/2011 12:41

hello again.

mel i meant to say i hope you enjoyed your wine. Grin

layla i know it moves throughout the cycle but don't know if it moves more after mc. sorry to not be of any help.

hadrian go and get bizzzay over next few days.

chloe glad you enjoyed your evening. (and glad you had too much Grin ) fx for you. It will get expensive if you test with cb all the time.

shorty i think someone else it took 9 weeks for it to come back but i can't remember who that was. if you are worried about it, speak to the dr.

i miss Wine Sad hope everyone is ok. Grin

shorty100 · 06/03/2011 11:05

Does anyone think I should be worried? I have been reading lots of things about first af after mc and getting myself a bit worried, everywhere has said that af might take a while to come as hormones my take 3 weeks to settle down, I did a pregnancy test the first day I started bleeding in a & e and it was negative, that would suggest my hpt levels were negative at that point but nearly 7 weeks later and no af, sorry for the crazy lady post just pulling my hair out with everything and just want my body to work :-(

laylasmummy09 · 06/03/2011 10:39

hi ladies sorry ive not posted for a while, ive been lurkiing struggling to catch up, so much happens too fast Smile ill just say hello to everyone and ill try to catch up, i just wondered if you could help as im a bit confused, its been 5 weeks today since my 2nd mc and i dont know where to count my cycle from as af hasnt arrived yet, also TMI WARNING i was checking my cervix and i couldnt really get to it it was quite high but qiute far back wich made it difficult but its usually easy to get to and i just wondered if mc can cause the cervix to move more than it usually does during a cycle? please help, im going to have a look at ff can someone explain what its all about? tia, i hope everyone is well and you are not too sore mouse sorry about the me me me post Confused

hadrian · 06/03/2011 10:26

Morning chloe this is for you my dear < < <

Although it does sound quite promising...! Keep us posted.

Glad you had a good night out. I've been trying not to drink too much but I've got no discipline at all. Ended up having a boozy meal out on Friday. I do feel a bit guilty but then I don't want ttc to totally dominate my life iykwim.

Speaking of which, good news here...I don't do temps but I did get a positive ov test this morning so we're going to be busy for the next couple of days!

shorty100 · 06/03/2011 10:20

Morning everyone, mouse glad your home and hope you start to feel better soon. X

LILI80 · 06/03/2011 10:20

thanks for fish cep & blackkat

chloe glad you had a good night. Have to say if I had that sort of discharge I would be getting excited Grin sorry I'm not helping!!!

I am now on CD27 oh god how am I going to stay strong this week!! Shouldn't really test until next sunday or possibly even next Monday! Arrgghh!

and anyone I've missed xx

Chloe55 · 06/03/2011 09:55

I really do need a slap, I'm doing my own head in now! Grin

meliesmummy · 06/03/2011 09:52

Chloe sounds like a good night! You need a fish slap tho (sorry can't draw one!)

I won't be enjoying any wine this morning cep, it's not even 10:00 Grin!

Chloe55 · 06/03/2011 09:35

Oh dear, I am a little hung over Sad Did really well at the beginning of the night, making drinks last for hours at a time but once I'd had a glass or two of bubbly I slipped a bit Blush Didn't get to bed til 3.30am either, after a painful session on Singstar Grin I didn't feel particularly drunk all night though but I know I consumed a fair amount.

However, on wiping this morning there was still a bit of pinky/brown discharge but have been crampy and sicky this morning (I am not usually a sicky person when drinking) so, still non the wiser and wasn't at home first thing so couldn't do a FMU test but no doubt will cave and do one later! I bet I end up spending money on a FR or CB or something at this rate even though I swore I wouldn't this month!

Mouse Glad you are home but Angry at your lack of after care, that's terrible.

cep · 06/03/2011 08:58

morning all, hope you're all ok.

lili you asked for fish sooo <

mel i think the others are correct, you had an all clear scan and a -ve test so sounds like af to me.

chloe not everyone has an ov or implantation dip. i certainly didn't have an implant one.

hadrian ov can be delayed if you've been stressed. hopefully it'll be here anyday now. remind me are you doing any checks? temps cm etc.

mouse hope you're feeling better today.

mumtum hi hon how is everything going? i'm ok at the moment thankyou, i haven't had anymore blood.

blackkat i was always told to cound cd1 as first day of fresh red flow, and that's what i have always done.

mel enjoy your wine.

collie hope you enjoyed London hon.

sorry if i've missed anyone there was loads of chatter yesterday. Grin

milkyway2007 · 05/03/2011 22:38

chloe55 That is terrible your mc'd away from home - you truely realise how important family is at times like that.

hadrian Hope that you ov soon x

meliesmummy I read your other post, and I too think it is AF - sometimes you ovulate earlier and I see it as a good sign that your body is in good working order.

Hi to everyone else - hope you're all having a lovely saturday night!

Blackkat · 05/03/2011 22:02

mouse glad you are home, hope you are feeling a bit better tomorrow, good on you for being persistent, but total bollox that you have to be. ((hugs)) x

Fish readily available for mumtum and lili Grin

Hadrian hoping that o/v turns up for you soon, lovely to hear you are ok Smile

mel sounds like a lovely evening, really does sound like AF, think lili is right, try to stop worrying - remember clear uterus on scan and -ve test....

Waves to iggly, cep, olis, lily, banana, Milkyway, chloe, collie, ninu, shorty, laylas, brooke, mumtum, zam and all you other lovely ladies, hope you're having a good evening, and clinks Wine Sorry cep!

Iggly · 05/03/2011 19:53

mouse look after yourself and rest up. How are your iron levels? Might be worth taking spatone to help boost you.
mel my af was and still is bright red post MC. very weird - it's longer and heavier too. I figure my body is sorting itself out. Also was on the pill for 8 years so can't remember what they were like before then!

meliesmummy · 05/03/2011 19:51

Thanks LILI. I was just thinking and realised that my af came back really quickly after my dd was born too, even the I bf, it just must be me! And I've thought that too when dd says there's a baby in my tummy, it's not just you!

:( to no follow up mouse

Now where is dh with that food? I'm starving!

LILI80 · 05/03/2011 19:46

melis sounds like your AF to me. When I mc is took 6 weeks for AF to arrive but when it did it was full on straight away and then just stopped after 3 days. A week later I had another bleed for 3 days which wasn't as heavy as the first. I went to my doctor who said that because of what my body's been through it's just sorting itself out so to begin with you can have a couple of bleeds.

See this as a good thing and that your body is getting back to normal ready to conceive again Smile

Now i def do need to be fish slapped as my DD was just sitting there having her tea when she said I want a baby brother, "where is my baby brother" I've been thinking maybe my DD is picking up on something and maybe i'm pg! God how crazy am I?

mousebacon · 05/03/2011 19:45

I've not been offered any follow up - I'll just do it myself again Sad

lily06 · 05/03/2011 19:26

Evening ladies,

Just a quickie as in the car and its too bumpy to type properly. On our way to a trade show that's on tomorrow, so having a night away Wink. Bit confused with FF as its not showing any crosshairs yet, but temp is all over the place. Had a rise past three days, which I thought might be ov? If anyone would care to take a look its at www.fertilityfriend.com/home/lily06. Not sure I'm quite managing the SMEG plan, but giving it my best shot!

OOh, just noticed FF have changed their layout and colours - very nice.

meliesmummy · 05/03/2011 19:23

Good evening ladies

mouse glad you are home and that it's done, hope you are feeling a bit better tomorrow, when are you next due bloods/a scan?

Hope you are all having a lovely Saturday evening. Dds tucked into bed, Dh has gone for a takeaway, the wines open and I'm looking forward to a bit of tv and an early night (I'm always wiped out the day after work). I'm still bleeding, still fresh blood but it's slowed right down, not sure what that means but it's doing my head in, mainly bcos I don't know if it's af or what! I'm assuming it is tho and going to count as if it is.
