Just MC and ready to try again? Pack your leathers, black nail polish, air guitar and jump in the mosh pit for some serious metalling. All welcome! (Part 17)

Thank you for the warm welcome everybody! Will respond properly once I have got myself a large glass of wine...

No not to make them sore - scratching cos their itchy!!!!

I'm glad my bowel problems are putting a on everyone's faces!!!

Just marking my place! Will be back soon xx

Oh yeah forgot to report - as everyone seems to be quite comfortable with it - that my problem seems to be moving......yay to prunes!!!!

And hi to everyone I have missed - there are probably loads of you but my brain post nap is like a big watery sponge!!! Xxx

Just woken up from a nap ( lying on the sofa in a vest top and my pants) DH came in and said "oh dear"......felt very upset and said "don't you find me attractive" his reply was "of course I do, especially when you scratch your boobs like that"........found that quite entertaining so let him get away with the original comment!!

marathon hope this is the start of your symptoms so you can settle down into being/feeling pg!!

blue and whatso damn that witch!!! Hopefully she will take her leave soon and you can get down to lots of SWI, 2 ww symptom spotting and full on metalling!!

Manda read you post and was laughing so much DH asked what was so funny - I told him - he replied "god not your bowels again"....obviously I have been too open with my problem!!!

babysauraus sorry to have to welcome you but glad that you can join us (iyswim). Well my story is an odd one which even the Dr gave me a strange look when explained. I had an mc at 5 weeks, it was complete with no complications which was confirmed by scan and blood test. We came home (were on holiday at the time) were told to wait a month, for dating purposes, and go again. I said fine no problem, didn't really think much about TTC and we carried on our normal lives, I didn't want to wait either but really didn't think it was possible to get pg straight after an mc. I had assumed I had not ovulated as I didn't get my regular pinch on cd 19.....sat waiting for AF to turn up so I could update my chart and see how the mc had affected things and it didn't arrive. After 3 days late took a test and almost fell off the toilet - got a BFP and now have a dating scan on Wednesday. I fully understand the need to try again straight away and as the Dr has told me repeatedly - medically there isn't any reason to wait except for dating. In terms of convincing the OH I would say take it gently with him - as we discussed on the other thread mc affects men differently but it does affect them and like us they have to come to terms with the loss, deal with the fear which surrounded the mc and then look forward before they can begin thinking about TTC again. Wishing you all the best xxxx

Hi babysaurus sorry to hear of your MC, but welcome to the thread. Was this your first pg? or first MC? I suspect your DH might feel different in a couple of weeks. Best to talk to him though, let him know how you feel. Not always that easy, I know. A MC sometimes affects your confidence/ability to be open about how you feel. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

I am 35, had an ERPC on 16th June, and an ectopic in April 2010. Have one DD, just turned 15 and my DH and I are desperate to have a baby (DD is from previous relationship, although my DH is every bit like a Dad to her, probably even more so than her real Dad).
Took 7 weeks 2 days to get an AF after ERPC - very annoying and much metalling (btw, metalling is our new term for mentalling, borne out of a funny typo by Marathon ) - but now in the 2ww, so the metalling is commencing all over again!

Fabulous ladies on this thread btw.

Can I mark my place? I have only just MC'd but am trying to look forward rather than back and want to get back onto the TTC Wagon asap. However, DH, freaked out by the drama's of ten days ago (very heavy blood loss, hospital stay etc) doesn't seem so keen. He thinks 'perhaps we think about it in 6 months or so' which is not music to my ears, as I am sure you can imagine.
Personally, I'd rather start sooner instead of later (and 37 soon so not an endless amount of time.)
What are everyone else's circumstances?

Oooh! New thread....let the metalling continue!!

Right...must get some study done whilst cramps have eased off...oh the joys of AF! Having said that, some of the last posts on the last thread rather put life in perspective and a few stomach cramps are very minor in comparison to what many people are going through at the moment!

Catch up properly later on...

Thanks for setting up Marathon - all aboard, ding ding!

This tour bus... RAWWWWWWKS! Nice job marathon (as opposed to the big jobs we're wishing for IQ Too much? I went too far there, didn't I?! )

missG Evidence seems to point to several of us being strange even when NOT ttc/newly pregnant.

Whoohoo, (or should that be GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR - raspy, angry heavy metal growl-like noise) air guitars at the ready!

Nice one Marathon. and yeah to the feeling yucky (we are a strange lot, us TTC and newly pg women )

New thread for metalling......awesome!!!
