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!!!

mel < only cause you asked for one. i hope it is a sign but it is very early. keeping fx for you.

meliesmummy · 21/03/2011 18:35

Someone slap me with a fish...NOW.

I'm feeling shaky and faint. When I was pg last I nearly fainted at work and felt the same way, around the same time in my cycle, about a week past ovulation. I don't normally have faint spells, I only normally feel like this if I miss a meal and I had lunch, and I've had a smoothie and biscuit this afternoon (cooking dinner ATM). So could it be an implantation thing or do I seriously need a fish slap??!!!

MumTumWanted · 21/03/2011 16:15

Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin GrinGrin Grin GrinGrin Grin Grin yay for cep im so pleased for you and yes quite rightly lock that scan pic in the safe!

secure nice to meet you though sorry you have to be here, a special reason we have to wait we get married in mexico next April so we need to be careful with dates, this is my last chance as bean if we get it right would still only be 4 months old if i conceive this cycle, so we decided this month or wait til after the wedding, but as i MC in december im now so wanting to fall again.... I wont harbour on though as ive more than bored amused the lovely ladies here with weding talk !

chloe and harassed just a little worn out the 2 of us !!!! though it was much fun , is it collie or cep with the suspenders ???? though im a bit worried we may have over done things Confused i really need to look at the smep and get a handle on that though i fear this month it is now too late !!!!

melies rl is a bit of a mess right now some lovely stuff ( wedding ttc etc) but others not so good (work family stuff etc) been a bit exhausting hence the reason OH locked our selves in friday night and hid from the world with lots of us time, takeaways and wine Blush was nice to just forget rl shame we had to re enter it actually [whimsical face emoticon]

hi bump sorry for your loss and that you find yourself here but everyone is lovely so get comfy Wink

Loup23 · 21/03/2011 14:54

Thanks for the warm welcome girls, the CBFM is back on and I'm just going to wait and see but in the meantime I am enjoying a couple of [wines]!

cep - brilliant news for you, hope all goes well from here.

bumpwanted nice to hear from you again, after that awful 2ww! I hope we both see BFPs soon (I hope we all do).

Good luck all x

meliesmummy · 21/03/2011 14:36

That's a shame Cep. I've got one from when they diagnosed my mc but it breaks my heart to look at it so it's hidden in a drawer. :(

Anyway, the window cleaners woke dd up so we're going to make some jammy dodgers, I'll come back later and hand them out! :)

cep · 21/03/2011 13:45

mel they gave me one last time, but it went missing about 2-3 weeks before i had my last scan, weird or what, still haven't found it.

meliesmummy · 21/03/2011 12:53

That's great you've got a pic Cep, they don't give them at our epu if everythings ok, the only scan pic I got of dd was my 20 week scan. It really p**d me off at the time because if I had gone on to mc I wouldn't have had an 'alive' photo iykwim.

Have you heard back from the clinic yet hopeful? I was told by the epu nurse that there's no risk of scarring, but I already had it in my head that I must have some scaring already because that pg took 8 months to achieve and we caught first time with dd so I didn't want to risk it. Could you give it a week and then decide?

Anyway...dd's asleep so i really need to get the iron out, good excuse to watch neighbours tho! Grin

Hi cep !!

Ah you aren't paranoid - I think what you are feeling is totally natural so don't worry I am sure you aren't driving people crazy. Sending you lots of good vibes as is everyone on here!

Its been a rough month but I am feeling a lot better this week and think I feel ready to try again..just waiting for one period now which I hope won't take forever!

Chloe55 · 21/03/2011 12:22

Apparantly it can take a couple of days either side of the date specified in the letter Hmm Am furious though as it should state that, then people won't rely on it!! Anyway, it all worked out fine as mum very kindly lent us some cash over the weekend so still got to have a nice meal and wine at home.

Lock that scan in a safe cep! Grin

cep · 21/03/2011 12:16

hi bump how are you doing? no i have to go via dr. Sad i'll see how i go over the days. i'm a bit paranoid driving people crazy so i may end up caving before the 12 weeks. i have an app already with the gp on monday i'll see how i feel and may ask for another nearer on the friday .

Thanks everyone. Grin i'll tell you now if i loose this scan pic i'll plant myself in epu cause it will be too much like last time. i've already had the bleed, the few day change of dates, if i loose the pic i'm done for. Grin

chloe like i said the other day please don't feel guilty for having low points we all do. Did you get yout acc stuff sorted today?

hopeful1 · 21/03/2011 12:09

oh cep what wonderful news...so happy for you

Thanks all for your responses.

Melies- I feel the same, have had a D&C and c section before and i dont want any more scarring in case it affects my fertility so unnless we are both irrational, I think thats a perfectly normal concern!!

I am feeling a bit crampy this morning (hope its not in my head, so may wait a day or two)

I have contacted the fertility clinic to get their advice as they are experts, just waiting for them to call me back

Bumpwanted · 21/03/2011 12:08

Hi girls

Have been lurking here for a couple of weeks after a miscarriage at 5 weeks a month ago. I have "chatted to a couple of you" over the last few months though so I wanted to say...

Congrats to everyone with BFPS - it makes me feel so much better to know that just because we have had MCs those BFP are possible again.

Cep huge congratulations to you on the scan. I don't know where you are based but some hospitals (like St Georges in London) will let you self refer and you just go and tick the sheet that says you are "concerned" or have had some pain or bleeding and they will scan you - might be worthwhile if you want another reassurance scan just to make you feel better in a few weeks

and Loup hun I am so so sorry to hear about your MC Sad. I am totally gutted for you but hope we'll both get our BFPs again soon.

I think my cycle is pretty much getting back to normal as I MC'd so early. I actually think I am ovulating now but we've decided to wait one period to make sure all is ok. Half of me wants to crack on, but if something went wrong again I think for me, I would worry that I didn't know if it was because we tried to soon or there really is some other reason why it didn't stick again. Its totally a personal choice though and I can also totally relate to those ladies who want to get going asap.

Anyway, here's hoping for lots of new BFPs that stick! Grin

xx

Rupsje · 21/03/2011 12:02

cep I am so pleased for you! Congratulations Smile

hopeful - very sorry for your loss. It is difficult having to take a decision about how to go on, and I agree with the others about doing research. I had an ERPC just over a week ago because I could not bear the waiting and wanted to move on. The procedure was fine, no pain and no issues afterwards either. I do have to wait now for the pregnancy hormones to leave my body.

collie so sorry about your nan. Hope you are ok and looking after yourself.

harassedinherpants · 21/03/2011 11:49

hopeful I had an erpc in Jan. I should have been 10+1, but the scan showed that the baby's heart had stopped beating at 7 weeks. I couldn't bear the waiting, and both my mw and my friend who's a mw and had mc's recommended I go for the erpc. I hadn't had any surgical procedures before so I felt that was going for me. The procedure itself was fine tbh and I recovered from it quickly. I was unlucky though and got a post op infection, and then a dose of thrush due to the ab's!! Just got a bfp though, despite everything. Thinking of you.

Chloe stop being daft Grin.

meliesmummy · 21/03/2011 11:44

Don't be silly Chloe, this is a place for downs as well as ups x

meliesmummy · 21/03/2011 11:42

Sorry meant to say hi to secure gal and hopeful, I would second what Chloe said and do some research before deciding. I didn't want an erpc because I've previously had a c section and I was (probably completely irrationally) terrified of more scaring affecting my future fertility but on the other had I wouldn't want to have no control over when it would start, have they offered you the medical option? That's what I chose. Have they offered you the chance to go through your options with a dr?

Chloe55 · 21/03/2011 11:37

Brilliant news cep have been lurking throughout the morning waiting for your update! Funny how we feel 'close' to people we don't even know isn't it??!

Oh, I forgot to put in my first post this morning - I wanted to apologise for my posts last week. It was aday of BFPs and that, ultimately, is the aim goal for everyone on here and I feel so selfish for being grumpy and not embracing everyone's BFPs. So, here I am now, in a better frame of mind and these are for collie, izzy,banana and harrassed

GrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrin

harassedinherpants · 21/03/2011 11:37

Cep glad you had a good scan and got to see a hb!! Have you thought about going private for a reassurance scan? That's what we'll do if I can't persuade doc/mw to do one.

Thanks for moving me down to BFP list.... omg it's feeling real now, have had nausea and tiredness hit over the weekend.

Chloe can I also recommed activated vit B6 P5P. I swear that's what got me my bfp's! I see a kinesiologist and use her version, but you can buy it online. Must be P5P though, not the normal stuff.

mumtum twice a day?? You must both be knackered lol. Fx for you.

Sorry to see more newbies

meliesmummy · 21/03/2011 11:36

Yippee Cep!!!! I've been hanging around here all morning waiting for news, im so so happy for you.

I've read mixed stuff about flax seed oil Chloe, I bought some and then decided not to take it because the epo messed up my cycle and I decided just to stick to brazil nuts and pregnacare conception for now.

lily06 · 21/03/2011 11:35

Hooray cep that's fab news, so relieved for you.

cep · 21/03/2011 11:25

morning all,

welcome hopeful and happy so sorry about your losses.

mumtum good to see you, you said you were having a bad time in rl i hope you're ok. and fx for this month.

chloe i took epo up to when i thought i'd ov'd (in fact accidentally 3 days past it) then brazil nuts.

collie i hope you're doing ok hon.

well good new from me, little bean with hb measuring 9 mm (6 weeks 6 days) so 3 days less than i thought but not too bad. i am relieved but (and i know stupid) also still worried, i can't help but compare to last time. they don't do reassurance scans so unless i have another bleed will have to wait until 12 week scan now. Confused they couldn't see a reason for bleed, so i'm assuming it was a uti. haven't had a bleed for 3 days now and finished anti b's this morning.

hope everyone is ok.
