Morning!!

Just a quick catch up from me as it's dh's birthday and I should tidying the garden before family descend.

hadrian lots of congratulations!!

mel so glad things seem to be getting back to normal

cep how is ds sleeping?? Was thinking of you at 4am when dd woke up!

collie was right, I have been a bit quiet since my bfp. I can't quite believe I'm preg again, plus the inevitable fear and worry have two mc's this year. I don't think I'm mentalling, more trying to persuade myself that a) I'm not preg and/or b) it's bound to go wrong. Seeing my kinesiologist again tomorrow am, and doc in the pm. I have lots of symptoms, but then I did with both mc's. It's soooo difficult!! I'm seriously thinking of phoning mw to see if they'll book me in early so I can get some support. Has anyone else done that??

hadrian · 25/04/2011 08:48

Great news mel, I love it when I get a Smile! Hope you're getting busy...

All OK here so far, POAS again this morning, got another, slightly darker, line. I'm going to Chicago tomorrow for a conference and normally I'd be really looking forward to it but this time I wish I could stay at home and take it easy. Guess I can't just lock myself away!

Is everyone on holiday? It's unusually quiet on this thread!

cep · 24/04/2011 08:04

mel so glad everything is going back to normal for you. [bugrin] [bubear]

Hadrian you are feeling totally normal and how everyone does, the really lucky ones have the feeling wear off but I think lots don't. Just have to focus and believe x x x

hadrian · 23/04/2011 22:39

Aah thanks ladies, it's nice to be back with you all. Don't think I'm quite ready for the freak out room...it's very early days and I don't really feel pg so am finding it hard to be optimistic. If it's ok with you I might just lurk here for a while and see how it goes [busmile]

Blackkat · 23/04/2011 19:45

ochaye · 23/04/2011 18:54

I remember you hadrian - I had an mc at Christmas last year and I think you had one around about the same time. Congratulations! Sorry I haven't been able to keep up with the thread everyone. I've been lurking ... but it just goes to fast for me ...

cep · 23/04/2011 17:18

hadrian oh congratulations hon. i'm so so pleased for you.

Collie2 · 23/04/2011 14:43

Hadrian I remember you of course, think you joined just before me! Soooo pleased for you, congratulations!! I hope you'll join us in the freak out room!!

mels enjoy your break at your parents. Have you had a Smile yet?

oils sorry your AF is so bad. Re weight, my SIL is a similar size/weight. She's had 1 mc and 2 very heathy pg. She's never struggled to much to ttc.

minnie cep had a UTI at the begining of her bfp and caused brown cm. As I recall the blood stopped quickly after treatment. Do you think the two could be related with you?

lily lovely to hear from you. I'm ok, I know 9+2 today, I can't believe it. It's the deaded date my bean stopped at last time though tomorrow (9+3) so a bit nervous! Hope your not working too hard this weekend.

Wishing everyone Happy Easter for tomorrow as heading to cottage in scotland and no idea what signal will be like xxxx

meliesmummy · 23/04/2011 14:26

Congratulations Hadrian!!! [bugrin] [bugrin] [bugrin]!!!! Here's to a sticky bean Wine!

I'm on my way to my parents for Easter, stream train trip to see postman pat tomorrow with an excited dd. No :) yet.

Happy Easter! [busmile]

wow awesome hadrian I remember you and am so pleased for you hunny :) dont be scared it will be good :)

hadrian · 23/04/2011 09:11

Hello ladies, not sure who still remembers me on this thread but I've been lurking for the last month or so. I was really fed up last time AF arrived and decided to try and stop obssessing for a while.

Anyway being a bit more relaxed about things seems to have helped because I got a BFP yesterday!!! Shock

I still can't quite believe it and am trying hard not to get carried away because I remember how excited I was last time and how it all went so awfully wrong. In fact this time I mostly feel very scared.

I hope you don't mind me dropping back in like this but I could really use some hands to hold...

Hope everyone's having a wonderful sunny holiday.

meliesmummy · 22/04/2011 22:04

olis that sounds like my last period, it was just awful, at one point I was soaking a tampon an hour and the clots were huge. At the scan I had 2 weeks post mc my lining was still a bit thick so I assumed it was of it coming away.

I'm glad your gp is being sympathetic Minnie.

Hope works ok this weekend lily, are you off next weekend?

How did the bloods go hopeful?

Hello to Edwards Cep Vegas and everyone else x

cep · 22/04/2011 20:27

welcome edward i'm sorry for your loss. As long as everything is ok, and you feel ready for it, it tends to be mainly for dating purposes they say to wait till after first af. i asked my gp outright and she said it was purel for dating. My dh however insisted on waiting. [busad]

oli i'm 5.4, i lost a st before i fell pg last year through slimming world. i fell pg then obviously lost it in dec, then gained about 1/2 st, i've lost a few lb since then but still about 16.5 i'm planning on trying to stick to slimming world diet as much as i can, but not doing well at the moment too much chocolate around. good luck for the gym.

olismum23 · 22/04/2011 18:53

Sorry if TMI but i am really clotty today and there was a bit that looked like tissue/blu/greyish do you think that will have been from MC in Feb or something this month?

Im 17st Cep and 5'7 need to lose weight but i have found it more difficult since MC I was 16st when i MC and put on a stone sharp after due to comfort eating, away to the gym tonight trying my best its all i can do wish i was not still in so much pain :(

edwardcullensotherwoman · 22/04/2011 18:20

wow this thread moves fast! you're all so lovely though, thanks for the welcome [busmile]

I mc'd naturally, was already under EPU before bleeding started as I'd had some brown blood about 2 weeks before; that stopped but had heavy red bleeding the day before the third scan with them. I was told bleeding could last anything up to 6 weeks Shock and that the longest they'd known was 10 weeks Shock Shock I just didn't expect it to last that long because I was only 5 weeks according to measurements (although my dates suggested 8 weeks).

I haven't had any bleeding yesterday or today, so hopefully it's coming to an end. DH says he definitely remembers her saying there's an increased risk if I get pg before my 1st post-mc miscarriage period (that's a mouthful!) but I can't seem to find anything online to back that up Confused I might just take your advice on here and test for BFN (the only one I've ever wanted!) then get on with it Smile

Hope everyone's well and enjoying the sunshine! [bugrin]

cep · 22/04/2011 07:43

morning ladies. hope you're all ok.

vegas good to see you.

lily days, hours, minutes. [bugrin]

oli sorry your af is making you feel so bad. i'm over 16 stone and i managed it, please don't worry too much about it, don't forget you are working to lose it as well.

chloe have a good month off hon.

olismum23 · 21/04/2011 23:27

Evening ladies lovely to hear from you vegas and chloe

lily yep i am all sunset blaze at the moment with the henna its awsome my hair feels so soft too, i got it from Lush it was called caca rouge but you get caca marroon/auburn red, caca brun/brown red and caca noir/black they are fab and the one block will last me three goes (i have short hair)

Period is awful making me sore and tired i am also feeling down as i just learned your chances of getting pregnant go down 4% for every unit of bmi over 29 so mine goes down 32% so fed up :(

....continued from earlier......

Cep 12 weeks already, eh? Are you counting down the days to your next scan?

Nina how are things with you? Hope all is well.

Blackkat how are you doing?

Olis Did you use the henna yet? I did mine with it years ago and loved the colour, might see if I can find some and do it again.

Nothing exciting here, not looking forward to working all weekend. Trying not to think too much about things this cycle, we'll see how that goes.....

Off to have a sit down now, tired from putting the delivery away - that's one thing that will be good when pg, not lifting any heavy bags!!

Minnie74 · 21/04/2011 18:22

Yipeee it's a long weekend!! [bugrin]

collie I'll wait before moving to the bfp list please. I'm so not positive this will stick. More pains today.

edward i think it's ok to try as soon as you have a bfn if it was a natural mc. i was told to definitely check that first. I did wait for another period but sometime wish I hadn't.

lily rubbish having to work all weekend

chloe have a lovely relaxing month x

I went to the docs today to ask a few things. I've got a urine infection apparently which i also had with the last mc (and never ever before). She said to see what happens before taking antibiotics as it's so early and i feel fine.
Have been lurking on the recurrent buns thread (positive thinking i know [bublush] and read about autoimmune problems. I had a semi-diagnosis of Bechets which is an autoimmune disease about 10 years ago. It was treated and I've had no problems for years but it got me thinking. My gp says it could be an issue as the mc (and now this bleeding) is early. If i do mc again she said she'd refer me to the fertility clinic straight away and not wait for a third one. So at least things could move a bit quicker in sorting it out I suppose. Feeling a bit philosophical today Hmm -must be the sun!

lily06 · 21/04/2011 17:01

Afternoon ladies,

Grin at all the leakage conversation, where else would you get to read that, eh? Not sure I'm up to doing a handstand though...

Chloe glad you are ok, think you are very sensible to have a month off and relax a bit.

Mellie if it makes you feel any better I'm working all weekend too. Are you enjoying the reflexology?

Collie how go the symptoms? Hope you are doing ok - over a month since your bfp already!

Eeek delivery just arriving, will catch up the rest tonight

meliesmummy · 21/04/2011 15:26

It's sunny so I just have to say

[bugrin]!!!!
