Just MC and ready to try again? Pack your cake, wine and tightie whities and join us for more ranting, weeping and most of all laughing! All welcome! (Part 14)

Thanks to everyone who said hi. Been away for a couple of days and this thread is moving fast! I have had my most fertile days that I worked out on the online calculator so heres hoping it will work!

Oh! And I just realised the only shoes I brought with me are my heels....should be interesting tomorrow, my parents live on a smallholding! Wellies and whatever old trainers I can dig out here I come!

Hi littlemiss, welcome. When it comes to trying again I would recommend doing weekly pg tests and only starting when you get a bfn. This is for 2 reasons - you won't ovulate whilst there's still hcg in your system and it can take a few weeks to clear, and if you did one in a few weeks you wouldn't know if it was a bfp whether it was the pg you mc or a new one. When you get a bfn start using ovulation tests (cheap ones are fine, try amazon, tesco or wilkinsons) and they will give you an idea when to try, and when your body is getting back to normal. Meanwhile, hang around here to moan/ laugh as applicable!

Glad you are still getting bfps banana!

Well, dd's asleep, the sun is shining and we are only half an hour away!

And meant to say big congrats for those who have found bfp result (had to check acronyms again!) :) xx

Hi all, it's just over a week since my MC, we've started trying again - it's the only thing I can think about and that I think will make me feel better! How do you know when your 'fertile' period is? Do you treat the MC bleeding as your last period? Want to make sure we're giving ourselves the best chance, but as much as I love my DH, don't think we can keep up the pace for a whole month!!!

Two of my friends at work are pregnant, one has just announced to the rest of the staff, and as happy as I am for her, I can't help thinking that it should be me too :( Makes me sound so selfish and self absorbed, but it's so hard when people who don't know about me are saying "Isn't it fantastic news...I wonder who will be next?" Don't think I could cope if I didn't get PG again soon...

Is this what most other ppl think or am I being obsessive?! We both feel ready, so I guess that's the important thing...just want to feel happy again! It's affected me more than I could have anticipated.

Good luck to everyone else who is TTC - I'm sending lots of positive vibes!

banana yay for confirmation bfp.

dh will be with them anyway so i'll just watch from the side as dss want to show us some stuff he learnt at lessons. i'll take a book.

Meant to say after my period is due...duh!

Hi Ladies,

cep :) for no bleeding

Collie :) for BFP on digital!!

Chloe Thinking of you.

A BFP this morning. No mistaking. I am not going to move myself until after my period is due though. Does anyone know if I should start baby aspirin now or wait until after my period? Calling consultant Monday for progesterone...OMG I am so scared.

Collie brilliant news about your stronger BFPs! at your DH. Mine got home very late and drunk last night and at first I was a bit at him being out partying... Turns out his friend told him they'd just been through a similar loss and the two of them spent the evening drinking and talking. Bit like a male MN I guess!

cep best of luck for Monday's scan. FX for you. I would be careful about swimming as well... Had a minor freak out earlier this week when I read I am not supposed to have a bath while bleeding.... having just come out of the bath when I read it. Oh well!

Hello everybody else. Chloe, very annoying situation with those shares. Hope it gets resolved soon.

Have a good day everyone! Sun is shining here... finally Spring perhaps.

collie believe me when I say that my dd is far from light footed! She sounds like an elephant coming down the stairs! She loves it though. Shes 3 and started at 2 1/2. Cb digis only measure from first day of missed af, they need a lot of hormone because they need to give such a clear answer.

Hi Rupsje, welcome. I got a bfn about 2 1/2 weeks after my mc but it was a mmc so hormones might have been slowly dropping for a few weeks, then af a few days later (I am very unusual though!)

How annoying Chloe! I hope you tell them exactly what you think of them! Fx your luck changes soon x

Yay collie! You are probably pretty safe from a chemical pg if there's enough hcg to show up on a digi, they aren't very sensitive after all. Get an early night! I think your brain needs one !

I'm not sure about swimming Cep but to be honest I wouldn't, its not worth the stress you'll inevitably feel, could you take them to the beach or something instead? It's a lovely day!

I'm sitting in my finery outside dds ballet class, then we've got a 2 hour drive to the wedding. I hope she sleeps because she'll be missing her nap later and I don't want a grump on my hands!

Hi Vegas and everyone else

vegas have a fab day.

chloe i think you'd have every right to ask for the shares people to pay for any overdrawn charges, if cause by their error.

want your opinions, do you think it's safe to go swimming. ds and dss really want to go, i couldn't go last time cause was full of bad cold, but i'm just not sure if it's safe, until i know what the bleeding is from. what do you think?

collie ah bless. sound like he had a good night.

chloe how annoying. was this today? so you haven't been able to speak to them. Are you going to be ok? you do seem to be having bad luck at the moment don't you.

Good news about the lack of blood today cep It would appear that it is mandatory for us ladies to have blood in the first trimester.

collie at all your POAS, I wonder how many you will use up in the next 8 weeks??!!

Welcome rupsje It normally takes between 4-8 weeks for your AF to return, I know some poor ladies are still waiting though. I would make sure you get a BFN before TTC just so you know that your next BFP is for your next baby.

Still feeling a bit today, more so as we were meant to have some shares cashed into our bank yesterday and have been relying on them for food/petrol and it never went in for some reason so now we have to get through the weekend with no money or food and can't do anything we had planned Don't get me wrong, we won't starve or anything, there's plenty of meat on us and I do have mum round the corner but won't go to her to ask to borrow any money as you know her opinion on me not working It is annoying though as it's the share people's fault not ours! We have the money, just not in our bank!!

morning all.

welcome rupsje sorry for your loss.

collie yay for it's nice seeing it in plain words. and what the heck was with you last night. if it wasn't for the i'd say you'd been drinking. it's been a long week.

mel try and enjoy your time away. we're only on 766 (or probably 767 now) i doubt we'll use all that over night.

hope everyone is ok. no blood for me today, it seems to have gone from everyday to every other day. hope tomorrow isn't as red as yesterdays. not sure what i'll be like if mondays scan is bad news. ok positive thinking again. >

Haha! Don't worry, I knew what you meant. Thanks for your message and sleep well
