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 16)

stich good luck for a terrific trip, with plenty of swi!

Sorry googie just read on the other thread that you've got to wait until friday - what a pain!!

Morning all. googie hope all goes well with erpc today...thinking of you!

Still no sign of anything happenning here so am just trying to be patient! Read a website about tilted uteruses (I have one) and misdiagnosis of MC because they can't see/measure properly due to the angle yesterday which has probably given me a small sense of false hope, though think it's just mainly confirmed that i want to be absolutely sure there's no chance of there being anything there before I opt for medical intervention, erpc or management. I spoke to the EPU this morning and asked when I could have erpc if scan on tues shows no change from last week and they said they could book me in then for the wed or thurs next week so thast's good - I didn't want to discover there was a week wait at that point if we wanted to go that way! Guess I need to contact work to say that it's likely I won't be in again next week though...my friends have been fab and I seem to have a visitor lined up most days this week which is good as DH has had to go back to work and I'm getting slowly v bored at home and don't really want to go out in case that's the moment my body decides is the right moment to start bleeding etc!!

Sorry for long post! Hope everyone's doing ok?

Hope everyone had nice long weekends. Did lots of baking myself (passes around pretty little cupcakes and victoria sponge cake). Was a lovely relaxing one with a bit of gardening when the weather allowed and otherwise just general pottering.

Very confused with all the new names but think they are a great idea :)

Waves to blue, pie, falcon, misstina, loup, laylas, googie, ciwi and lily.

Started on the OPKs today, probably a bit premature as normally don't ov until CD 21 but don't want to miss it and as cycles a bit all over the place would be just my luck to ov early this month. Also feeling a bit naughty as missed one of my injections on the weekend, oops.

Off to a wedding in poland this weekend (dh relatives), not really looking forward to it as no-one will speak english and I will also have to try to avoid the vodka without drawing attention to myself . At least not staring with relatives -conviced dh to book hotel as will be prime dtd time over the weekend :o

pie I wouldnt worry about that bleed I have bled a bit post dtd after stilbirth and mc it will clear up. I have been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid (well its borderline) I have been started on thyroxine which basically replaces the hormone you dont make enough of. Need to wait till my levels are normal again which hopefully will be in a couple of weeks when i get my bloods done and then i can start to ttc
googie sorry you have to have an erpc but I suppose its for the best. roll on next month - it might not be the worst thing to give yourself a bit of time anyway. I had to wait because of my thyroid and all though i didnt like it i now feel like i needed the time to recover emotionally and physically x

Hi to everyone else x

googie hopefully you will get a date soon for the ERPC - is that the procedure that you have under a local rather than general anaesthetic? Hope you recover well and soon x

misstina we off to a place called Kirkcudbright which is in Dumfries & Galloway. It's right by the beach so am hoping for some lovely weather :-) I've heard it's going to get really hot by the end of this week!

My skin problems are still hanging around too - nice dry, red and scaly skin round my nostrils - oh what joy!!

ciwi what have they said about your thyroid?

ciwi :) to positive opk! Good sign that your cycles are getting back to normal.

pie hopefully your bfn is around the corner then! I had quite a large post coital bleed a few weeks after my mc, the gp said that it was cervical erosion from all the hormone changes. (if you haven't heard of it it's basically cells that sound be inside your cervix migrating out, because they aren't used to that environment they bleed easily. I had it when I was pg with dd. It's cleared up now and it's not dangerous and it's common). Where are you off to on your hols?

I'm sorry to hear that googie. when are you having the surgery? Wishing you a quick recovery x

Waves to falcon, stitch, loup, laylas and lily and everyone else x

Hi all, I've got to have an Erpc as scan today showed i didnt yet pass the sac, which is a massive blow. So I'll be waiting another month before I join the ttc stats.I hope there are plenty of bfps from you all before then. Xxx

Hi, hope everybody is well after the weekend!

googie the positive OPK thing threw me as well! I tested one week after my m/c and got a shock (as was also still bleeding) but read on the POAS website that OPKs will show positive if you are pregnant (but not the other way around with pregnacy tests IYSWIM).

Well, i'm STILL showing a BFP 3 weeks after m/c - i'm so gutted. The bleeding has stopped though (phew) so we DTD last night as I just wanted to get the first time post m/c over with. However there was a very small amount of bright red blood this morning which i'm guessing is perhaps from my cervix? What a palava! I just wish it would go back to normal :(

We are going on holiday in a fortnight with another couple and their DD (who is same age as our DS) and she had a m/c a month before me. Can't believe the co-incidence. Am sure there will be a few tears shed over some nice wine (although at the moment i'm trying to maintain my lifestyle as if I were pregnant ie/ no alcohol (well very little) and low caffeine coffee!).

Hi ladies - am loving the new names! Glad to hear you are feeling more positive falcon
Well, I had some spotting a few days ago, its now settled and I have a positive opk! Really hope that means my cycles will be settling down now. Am really frustrated though because we can't ttc this month because of my thyroid problem. Am really hoping to join you all properly next month when I have been for more blood tests x

Yey! go MissTinaTeaspoon lol love it :)

falcon ive left you there because i wasnt sure what you wanted to do i hope thats ok,
i had lost a few days so im not sure if anyone else has too x

hi everyone i hope you are all having a relaxing sunday
melies ill put my scan date on the stats, its on 9th june,

googie ov sticks also pick up hcg because lh and hcg are very similar. Also after a mc your hormones are all over the place so it's possible (and common I believe) to have lh surges without ovulating. As hard as it is I would retest in a few days and hold off dtd till then.

Hi falcon. I've thought about name changing but I think I'd get confused and I can never think of anything good that's not taken!

Waves to all x

Thanks falcon I think you're right. I just really don't want to go through a MMC again so I think waiting a couple of weeks isn't too much of a hardship. I just didn't know you could be positive on a pregnancy test and an ovulation test at the same time!

I dint know what to say googie only that if it were me as tempting as it is to jump to dtd i would wait until i had bfn. but it is an utterly personal decision.

Hello there all, a sad welcome to newbies too.

Can anyone give me some advice on my BFN? I know I have to wait till I get a BFN before starting to try again (MMC two weeks ago) so I just did a test but it's still positive, which is pretty hard to see.

The question is, I also did an ovulation test as my tummy felt like it was, and that's positive too. So how does that work?!?! Has this happened to anyone else and when did you start TTCing again?

Hi all hope you had a great weekend!

Its olismum23 thought i would change my name new start and all that :)

welcome pie this is a wonderfully supportive thread

I take 1 capsule a day, I think it's 1000mg pie. I tried evening primrose oil but i think it aggrevated my cervical erosion so I stopped. I know what you mean about the skin thing...I was so spotty in the weeks after my mc and have no idea why I am now! I had 6 sessions of reflexology to get my cycles back to normal, it's great you can do it at work.

Hi laylas, glad the weekend went well, remind me again when your scan is?

Thanks for the warm welcome! Spotting has dwindled to brown mucus which I'm hoping means it's nearly gone - fingers crossed! Have stopped taking my Zita West 'Vitafem' as i'm not sure if it might have delayed my body completing the m/c or not with all the B Vitamins (or I could be totally guessing) so am back on just folic acid, Vitamin D & Vitamin C for the time being.

melies how and what quantities are you taking your flaxseed oil? Am interested in that it really increased your CM. The 'Vitafem' supplements also did that and co-incidentally I got a BFP the first month I'd been taking them.

My face is still quite spotty too and i've got red dry skin around either side of my nose! It looks awful, maybe pregnancy hormones still :(

I had reflexology at work yesterday too as i'm trying to stress less. The MW at the EPU said it was really important that I try and be as chilled out as possible when TTC (!!) I'm such a control freak in my daily life so that's going to take some doing!

Hope everybody is well, blue have seen your posts on the m/c board - I am thinking of you, take care x

hi everyone, welcome new people, sorry you are going through this but glad you found us,
ollis so sorry your body has tricked you so cruelly i was so happy when you got your bfp and am gutted for you now
melies thanks for asking after me things seem ok here, been away for a wedding and nothing went wrong and didnt even feel sick on the way there of course at the time i was worrying about the lack of nausia and today travelling back i felt sick as a dog (still do) cramps not so bad but boobs feel like they are being stabbed a few times at random points throughout the day and dont get me started on the mixture of tiredness and insomnia!!! feeling more positive today,
i hope everyone has a weekend as stress free as possible x

Has anyone heard any news of Cep recently? I'm a little worried, haven't seen her for ages?

And lily and laylas, everything ok?
