Well my erpc was 10weeks ago today, and most recent mc started 6 days ago, but before I mc'd last week I really felt things were starting to come together. So 8-9 weeks really. I still got upset and down sometimes, but I was starting to feel more like the normal happy go lucky me. I'd started new exercise routine, got back into things I like doing - general things that just made a bit of a difference.

Set right back now unfortunately.......

Reallyusefulengine · 29/03/2011 16:29

Thanks Harassed Thank you for that, am relieved I am not alone in feeling these things. Am so sorry you have had 2 miscarriages, that must be so tough for you. Do you think it takes long to start relating to people afterwards? This whole ordeal seems endless.

harassedinherpants · 29/03/2011 15:56

really it's normal lovely!!! My best friend got prg at the same time as me in Dec. We were delighted to be doing it all together as our dd's are the same age and do everything together too. Unfortunately I had a mmc in Jan, and she's been the most supportive of everyone tbh. It has hurt a bit when she's had scans, found out they're having a ds (dh would love a ds Sad) and things like that. Now I'm mc'ing again and it's hard not to think "why me?!", but she's my friend and I wouldn't wish this on anybody!! I'm hiding from lots of people in RL, actually only a couple of people know about 2nd mc, too. Take your time, you'll get there!

Oh and I swear by kinesiology. Been using it off and on for 20ish years. I credit it with both my bfp's, and hopefully another one. Just need to find out why they're not sticky.

Reallyusefulengine · 29/03/2011 15:46

Dear Ladies,

Can I ask you something? Have just spoken to a pregnant friend on the phone who had her 12 week scan last week (all good). I could barely say anything else other than a quick congratulations before kind of changing the subject. Now I feel awful and think I might be turning into a cow. I avoided asking another friend who called the other day whether she found out if it was a boy or girl at her 20 wk scan. Am too jealous and sad to know. I really care for these friends and now feel really confused and selfish. Do you think this is normal and will it pass? Am hiding alot right now in RL because I feel unable to relate to anything.

Reallyusefulengine · 29/03/2011 15:40

Hi ladies

Gimme, I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you aren't in too much physical pain from this morning. Everyone is really nice here and will help you through it.

Cep I do hope you get a proper, proper nights sleep tonight.

Harrassed Ooh, the kenesiology thing looks interesting. How do you find it works for you? Am sorry you have had some hard days.

Chloe, I hope you get more success from your GP. I am in a bubble too, and am finding it really hard to relate to anything in RL.

Mel Are you going to wait until tomorrow to test? FX for you too. I wouldn't worry about the itchy patch on your toe - I bet he's seen it all! It must be really odd staring at different pairs of feet all day. Anyway, I hope you are okay, must be a bit of a tortuous wait for you.

harassedinherpants · 29/03/2011 15:15

Hi ladies,

Have had a rotten couple of days so have been mainly on Mc board. Trying to get into a more positive frame of mind, but it's bloody hard!! Went for some blood tests and right palava that was. I have small veins, so she struggled to find one, not much was coming out and then it collapsed, so she had to do other arm as well. You should see the colour of first arm today!! Bruises are 15cm ish long, and very sore. We'll see what they say, I think it's more a fob me off kind of thing tbh Hmm.

Saw my lovely kinesiologist yesterday, have some prenatal vits from her to go with my b6 and she's seeing me again on cd28. If you've never tried or heard of kinesiology, I recommed a google!

Chloe how are you feeling?? I totally understand the bubble thing, me too.

cep sorry dh kept you awake last night, must have been in the water. Mine was same.

mel I think they say fmu as that's generally the one that's been in your body the longest without weeing. So if you're sleeping during the day, then prob best to test when you get up I would have thought.

Waves @ gimme recognise your name from mc board. So sorry you have to find yourself here.

Chloe55 · 29/03/2011 14:52

Hello ladies,

gimme sorry for what you are going through, take lots of time to rest up and hope you start feeling better soon.

cep I remember the first trimester absolutely zonking me so can't be good with your lack of sleep either Sad Leave the washing, let your oh do it! Wink

I am considering reflexology too, and acupuncture it's just finding the cash for them first. Still couldn't get through to the the consultant so I am sacking them off and seeing my GP on monday in the hope that he might refer me to another hospital, I can not spend another minute trying to get through to the right people at my hospital, it's tiring and time consuming Angry

Not sure if I may have misse dthe boat this month, or even if I ovulated. Never did get a positive on the OPKs but had EWCM yesterday however didn't dtd Sad I did on Sunday at about 3am (sat night) but we were both drunk as I had convinced myself AF had arrived but we got jiggy anyway Grin Won't be doing it tonight either as my db is over to take ds to school in the morning for me but CM has turned creamy now anyway so don't think it really matters too much.

How are all the other new ladies? I am sorry to have not done much name checking recently, either have been in my own little bubble or had to sneak on for 5mins at a time as dh is beginning to think MN and Dr Google is not helping my stressing, he has a pioint to an extent but have found this thread so helpful over the time.

cep · 29/03/2011 14:38

Afternoon ladies,

gimme welcome and sorry for your loss.

collie mel he slept through last night but am sure it's only cause he'd been up since 3:30. instead i woke at 5:15 and it was dh's snoring kept me awake. typical Grin

collie i'm ok honestly hon, just so so tired. sorted a load of washing and it knackered me.

mel still a little early yet try tomorrow with fmu. fx for you.

meliesmummy · 29/03/2011 14:17

Hi and welcome gimmegimmegimme

OP posts:
meliesmummy · 29/03/2011 14:06

Hi everyone.

Still confused here! Had a tiny amount of pink mucous overnight, but also LOADS of clear cm????!!!! And I felt really sick this morning. Did a test, bfn, but im not sure it counts as fmu because I had been up all night and drank a carton of apple juice on the way home. And work was v busy so I didn't get a rest break in the early hours so I was really tired (actually I still am!) so maybe I felt sick because of that?

collie I hope that you and your mum are able to enjoy mothers day. Any symptoms today?

Any luck with the hospital Chloe?

How's your ds Cep?

I've booked my reflexology for Thursday morning RUE. although I'm bait worried because since booking it says that he doesn't treat during pg so I'm worried because my cycle is so messed up he won't do me? Plus I've got a horrible itchy patch on one of my toes (I think it's an insect bite that I scratched too much and the skins gone all flaky) it looks gross tbh and he might recoil in horror!

Hi cep How are you today? Did ds sleep any better? I hope its not taking it out of you too much, you've been really quite (totally understanable) just worried about you. x

Good luck for today x

chloe did you speak to anyone yesterday?

cep · 29/03/2011 11:39

collie hope you manage to have a nice day with her.

mel how are you doing hon?

chloe have you managed to get through to anyone yet?

Said if she came over i'd make her a nice breakfast. Think she wants to do her own thing in the day but i'll she what she says closer to the time. If i don't have the day with her i'll probably pop in on her in the evening for a Brew too and shes only 10 mins away.

Sorry you haven't got through to the hv you need. hope you get some help on weds.x

cep · 28/03/2011 18:47

collie sorry about your mum, are you going to spend mother's day with her even if not going out?

Got through to hv's but typically the one i need to speak to isn't in till wednesday, so she's going to have a chat with her and get her to call me then.

Reallyusefulengine · 28/03/2011 18:39

Hello all,

Sorry all, have been gone for another day and have lost the thread a bit. Started bleeding again even heavier than a week ago Confused

CEP You poor thing, as Collie2 said, you must be shattered. Am hoping it is just a phase and will be ironed out over the next couple of nights. Sleep deprivation is utter shit.

Chloe Am sorry to hear of your bleeding, you poor thing. It sounds like alot to endure.

Mels I had one reflexology session and got pregnant that month after 14 months of trying for a 2nd baby. I had had it years before because I used to puff up like a balloon before my period (when I was single and found looking 6 months pregnant wasn't attracting the boys). 1 session then and again, found the bloating went and never came back (these days its good old fat which loyally stays all month long) Grin. Absolutely wholeheartedly think it helps. I'd do it again but it has given me such happy results that I couldn't bear it if it didn't help this time Sad.

Did have acupuncture today though which was kind of good but I was told to categorically not try for a baby for another 2-3 cycles as I was running on empty - not enough blood to sustain anything. I have managed to talk the acupuncturist into monitoring me and maybe changing her mind in a month if I've made progress.

Collie2 · 28/03/2011 16:09

Hi eveyone, welcome to the newbies that joined over the weekend. Sorry you find yourself here, tis a lovely thread full of support though.

cep poor you with ds, you must be shattered. I'm sorry I don't have any advice, I think just keep persevering and he'll settle down again. Do you think he could be attention seeking at all? Good news on the scan, nice of gp. Tuesday will come around and it gives you a focus.

chloe omg I am so sorry about the bleeding. That is really odd!! Glad it stopped and is not af, but hope it's nothing to worry about. Have you managed to speak to anyone yet? Your consultant sounds like a nightmare. Mels suggestion of PALS is a good one, the hospital should have one. They'll do the running around for you.

mels I'm sorry your body is still giving you the run around. Glad your gp was understanding enough about an early scan if you get a bfp, but sorry he wasn't much help on the bleed. Fx for you on Saturday.

yrmotb gutted for you that af arrived. Saw on t'other fred that your planning your summer hol to detract from cd1. Good plan, how's that going? I love holiday talk!

Waves to everyone else on thread. Sorry for not shouting out to everyone, I've been gone a few days do too much to catch up on.

Who asked about selenium? I took 1 tablet (selenium mixed with vit a, c and e) daily. Good for dh too. From holland and Barrett

Back from the lakes today. was nice to be away from home and with mum. Worried about her now though. She's still there with her dp, but he's not the most sentive of blokes and I worry she's bottling it all up. I had a lovely meal booked for the 2 of us on mothers day and I asked if she was still happy to go but she's asked me to cancel it, says she doesn't want a fuss Sad I'm a little flat as well today. Beautiful sunny day, and have been to the garden centre for plants to pot but just can't muster the motivation to do it.

Still no sypmtoms. Also have some really quite painful back/pelvic (cant tell which) pain over the weekend. Got me stressing all over again!

Anyone heard anything from Blackkat? If you are lurking, hope all's ok x

Don't think of it as tempting fate laylas think of it as being reassured, I will (hopefully) do the same. The GP said I could go to him and ask at 6 weeks but I would rather wait until 8+ as thats where the last baby got to.

Anyway, back to the playdoh!

OP posts:
laylasmummy09 · 28/03/2011 15:33

not too long to wait cep though it will feel like ages away to you, im going to consider a little white lie when i get pregnant to get a scan at 8 weeks if i get that far as both my mc's were missed by three weeks but at the same time i really dont want to tempt fate Hmm

cep · 28/03/2011 15:11

epu have called scan next tuesday as they don't scan within 2 weeks of another scan.

laylasmummy09 · 28/03/2011 14:14

thanx cep and mel i hope you both get some answers soon, instinct is usually right IME so i have my fingers crossed for you and i hope if it is af like you said you will know where you are and you can get cracking again, i agree with cep re opk tests though just to make sure you dont miss an oppertunity.

cep · 28/03/2011 13:31

mel just to be on the safe sie, i'd do the opk's. i would probably try to not do a hpt until the sat though if that when af is/was due. Ds has flaked. He was getting down from the table his eyes were closing. i'm going to let him have an hour and then try to wake him up. Hmm normally wouldn't let him but he was awake from 3:30 so felt a bit mean not letting him today. I don't think so, they haven't said anything anyway. I think i may just be grasping at straws. Blush will do, is a bit frustrating they haven't called yet. The dr kept calling them last time and then called me, this one isn't. she also didn't tell me to collect the form (i asked she said no) the last one did, and they took it from me when i got there. so unsure as to what's happening.

meliesmummy · 28/03/2011 12:59

Hi laylas, sad news about your sister. She must be gutted :(. I'm symptom spotting too, and for all I know I'm at the end of af, but my instinct says not. Cep he said to come back if I'm still concerned. I'm feeling more positive now though, every cloud and all that! I figure that if it was af at least my 2ww was short so we can get trying again! I'll just have to see what happens at the end of the week. Whats confusing me though is that if it was af I need to start opks again on Friday, as well as take a pg test because I'm day 27 on fri if it wasn't af, and then potentially come on on Saturday! My dd says what all the time, I think she just doesn't listen though, I think it's just a toddler thing in her case, have his nursery got any concerns? Enjoy your rest, let us know when your scan is x

I'm off for my nap. After tonight I'm off for 2 weeks (using up holiday I was meant to have when I was off sick)

OP posts:
cep · 28/03/2011 12:24

sorry laylas i got carried away whinging talking about ds. I'm sorry to hear about your sister, it must be so difficult. fx for this month.
