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 18)

Sorry Blue crossed post!

Congratulations

That is wonderful news!

And in answer to your question no it was afternoon rather than FMU so I am hoping the same thing (probably in vain though)

We'll see...

Absolutely over the moon for you

blue thinking of you, hope the scan went well today x

eve thinking of you too, hope the scan went well today and the NT measurement wasn't as bad as the other sonographer thought and you left with your questions answered x

poppy sorry about the BFN :( I know what you mean about wishing AF would hurry up! I find the worst bit is when the witch y arrives, when she's gone I can get optimistic about the cycle! It's not over till she's here though!

pebs I took my charts to my fertility clinic appt but they weren't really interested, only in what date my progesterone level was taken in relation to when the chart said I had ovulated. If you do ov tests now then when you do TTC they might come in useful in giving you a good window to aim for! When we started ttc I didn't realise I was ovulating on CD16 so were missing some of the window, post m/c my ovulation some months was CD19 then another month CD12!

Well, all was well with mini-crane in there wiggling and waving away they dated me as 12 weeks exactly today which is 2 days back from what they said at the early scan but fits exactly with what I expected as my last AF was 12 weeks ago today. Due date now back to 29th May. Sorry for late update but DH took me to Westfield for dinner to celebrate...I seem to have a thing for Wagamamas at the moment so he knew he wouldn't get to choose the restaurant!

poppy sorry to hear about your bfn, but did you use flu or was it this evening, if so it may still be too early for non flu results??

Right, I must sleep so will catch you all in the morning, still feeling very bunged up so about to read the Vicks pot to check if it's ok to use!!

Soooo I might have taken the test apart (Superdrug early test with the irritating plastic window that casts shadows everywhere)

And there may be a very faint line there....

I know I am torturing myself, I do it purely for your entertainment ladies

Needless to say if I have another high temp tomorrow I'll test again with fmu. Watch this space!

Psst... Still no spotting so whatever happens bvits have worked their magic LP already 2 days longer and counting

Well I tested and despite puzzling temp rise this morning BFN. Boo and hiss.

Hurry up AF this waiting around is extremely irritating!

Thinking of you Blue hope all is well.

i was ill for a few days but that is shown on the chart as my temp went high gor a couple of days early in the cycle.

it is driving me mad, i want to stop temping as it is just worrying me but then i feel like it's good info if i don't get pg and i can take the graphs to appointments.

i am still getting ewcm today and that is also confusing me. i don't do ov tests. i was going to get some but i thought it was a waste of money when i am not actually ttc.

Quickly jumping on to MN inbetween work chaos!

It's our 8 year anniversary this weekend (not married though, just how long we've been together!) so am hoping a nice reassurance scan will be well timed (if we can get an appt!)

DP also got his SA results back today. Am not sure of all the details but he said morphology was only 2% (this is very low). Mmmmm, hopefully a miracle normal sperm got through for this egg!! I don't know if it's possible to improve morphology? He was taking male fertility vitamins for about 6 months and he said that they advised his count was absolutely fine. I am now petrified even more so of m/c again and trying to conceive with lots more abnormal, than normal sperm?

poppy a second temp rise can indicate implatation ie/ triphasic chart :) :) :) :)

Good luck with the scan today blue :)

Happy Birthday manda - dare I ask how old?! I have a feeling you are a spring chicken compared to me! :)

misssc hopefully they will get the results to you soon. Have you spoken to them at all to see how much longer it will be?

pebs have you been ill/under the weather at all? My temps sometimes jumped about all over the place like that but I was erratic with the times I took my temps as had never had 3 hrs of consecutive sleep beforehand!

leedy hope acupuncture goes well! I am convinced mine had a part to play in conceiving.

Right, off to have some soup then cheese on crackers with beetroot chutney!

Oh good luck today blue

I also have no idea about charting at all but I am assuming its looking good poppy, fingers crossed for you!!!

pebs I am sorry about your chart, I have no advice, are you using ov sticks as well?

Every minute seems to be lasting nearly an hour...just want to get to 5.15pm to get this scan over with...head so full of cold it feels as though I'm stuffed full of cotton wool and really can't be bothered with any of my work today (shame most of it is urgent, oh dear). Will update asap this evening but not sure what our plans are, ie whether DH just wants to go home and eat/chill there for the evening or whether he fancies popping out somewhere to (hopefully) celebrate.

leedy hope the acupuncture goes well, I know several of the girls on here have found it v useful and relaxing.

pebs that all sounds ultra frustrating re. your temps and ov!!

Right, back to trying to 'look' busy

Happy birthday manda!

Off to acupuncture later today, booked appt with GP to a)ask why I have had a cold for three months and if it's bacterial, could he nuke it from orbit with powerful drugs before I get pg again, b)ask some of my mindfvcky questions, c)use one of his pregnancy tests to check preghormone status. I AM MOTIVATED.

happy birthday manda!!

will be crossing my fingers for you today blue!!

get testing poppy!!

chart

Filled in my temp today and it says my ov date changed from day 19 to day 21. i then undiscarded yesterdays temp and it doesn't think i ov'd at all now.

very confusing.

why did yesterday's temp have to be so low :(. haven't got a clue whats happening now. i would expect af to come at weekend but not sure if that will happen now.

Manda Happy Birthday!!! I know I know, feeling a bit about high temp today, have no idea what's going on! Still no spotting so that's good. I guess I will have to see what tomorrow's is like. I didn't test this morning (didn't think I would want to - I was expecting another lower temp) so am fresh out of FMU and I only have CB digis left...

13 dpo today...

Blue thinking of you today, do let us know how you get on. The reason manda is about my chart is that I got a big temp rise this morning after a few days of my temperature getting gradually lower and lower. Totally unexpected. Not sure it means a whole lot, I'll have to wait to see what tomorrow's is like I think and keep up the constant knicker checking in the meantime...

MsScarlett good news on the scan date

X-post msscarlett glad you've got the scan date through but sorry to hear the PM results taking so long

Morning all

poppy glad you're feeling a bit better and yeah for no spotting, manda is clearly excited about somehing on your chart but I must confess to not having a single clue about charts so I'll just stick to hoping for a bfp v soon for you rather than our not so favourite aunt making an appearance!

marathon so glad to hear all's well, hope the run up to Christmas isn't too too hectic and that energy levels are ok for everything you have to do!

I seem to have gotten a nice snuffly streaming nose and cold...yeah but after lots of retching and nearly throwing up again last night and this morning I am feeling strangely a bit more realxed about the scan this afternoon though pretty distracted and no idea how I'm going to get any work done today and do have some urgent stuff to get done...oh dear!

Thanking of your scan today BlueCrane.

For me, AF is done with, I've got a scan appt through to have a look at my ovarian cysts, which will be nice I did have a bit of a wobble when I picked up the hospital envelope thinking it might be our appointment for our baby's post mortem results, but no, it looks like they'll be true to their word on that taking a long time. I would really love to have a reason why.

POPPY!!

(s'my birthday today - have woken feeling extremely dizzy (room spinningly so, even laying down) seeing your chart has given me a boost!)

Great news from both manda and MissG, its very encouraging to read success stories on here!

poppy I know what you mean, I want AF to just get on with it now, I have some spotting and mild cramping but come on lady!!

good luck lovely - wishing you all the best Thank you for all of your splendid support and advice over the past few months.

Marathon so pleased to hear your scan went well - best of luck to you too

Thank you for your kind words earlier today ladies, still feeling a bit blue but I am encouraged by the earlier ovulation and longer LP, it is nice to think I have taken steps that have actually made a difference!

Still no spotting or AF for me but pretty certain I am out. Wish it would hurry up now so I can get on with the next go!

Hello ladies,

I have just gone on here and see that my post-scan update last week didn't post This bloomin' site is a right old pain sometimes. Anyway all was well, and it's another pink one

I'm really super busy at the moment so apologies for not get on here much. Glad to hear people are doing well.

I must say I'm very sorry to say goodbye to MissG as we were mc buddies (if there is such a thing?!), we miscarried and had our erpcs in the same week so just want to say a massive GOOD LUCK with everything. I'm SURE it'll all go well and you'll have your precious little bundle very soon. Will be thinking of you

I would also echo what MissG has said about the thread, it was a life-saver for me too. I hope all the newbies find it just as helpful.

Just wanted to let you know that the scan went well, I won't be around much for the next month or so as life is just so busy but will try to lurk occasionally!

'hop' off

Hello Ladies!

Have been lurking occasionally, it's so fab to hear that all the BFPs are becoming little people!! Amazing! I am 15 +1 now and heard the heartbeat again at my appointment this morning. Of course, I had convinced myself that they wouldn't find it and burst into tears as soon as she offered to listen! Am certifiable at the mo

I need to be honest. I haven't been on here much because being reminded of MCs, particularly late ones, had been freaking me out a bit. It's been so hard these last few weeks, the loss of symptoms probably contributing to my madness. The stories are so sad, and had me in tears (bloody hormones). But, this thread is for those who have recently MC and are ready to try again, so you absolutely MUST be here! This thread is a life saver , it certainly was for me. It is me who must hope off.

I wish all you ladies all the luck in the world and have everything crossed that you will be home with your babies in the not too distant future.
I just didn't want to disappear completely without explaining. I can't thank the ladies on here enough for getting me through the sad and scary times, when it felt that no-one RL knew a fraction of what, or how, I was feeling.

I will miss you ladies. Good luck and massive giraffe hugs to you all!

All I have left to say is..........

Chin up, (.)(.) out and PMA all the way!!!!!! x

Afternoon all

thank you for the replies - sorry to hog the thread today I will go away quietly I promise.

Ok have done some reading and the risks of mc are decreasing with new tecnology etc etc. Appearantly a high number of those that do mc are due to the poorly nature of the baby. Also most states are out of date significantly.

So questions to ask.

What is the NT measurement anything under 3.5 is ok.

what would the increase be if I had good blood results - would it be signifcantly higher?

Are there any other indications that lead to increase risk (soft markers, nasal bone measurments etc)

what is this hospitals risk/states when completing CVS/amnio

turn around time on results

Pie I am 39 too :-) risk at 40 is 1 in 100

Hope everyone else is ok

Blue I daren't get on the scales but know I am much more comfortable in a dress size bigger. Fortunatly I have lost 3.5 stone this year so people think I look better than I have done in a long time.

Blue you are a bit further along than we are scan measured us 11 plus 2 on saturday which is exactly what I thought.

Also ta for the tip on testing to see if I'm getting a BFN before anything else. I have some random pregnancy tests knocking around (my GP used to give them to me as a sort of "THEY ARE LUDICROUSLY OVERPRICED IN THE SHOPS! I KNOW HOW MUCH THEY COST REALLY!" gesture) so will be able to test without any capital investment...

Acupuncture booked! Now need to invest in unsuitable clothing. To the online shops!

bluecrane, GRRR on the people commenting on your weight. FFS.

I also definitely definitely wanted the NT test (came out v low risk with DS and, well, didn't get that far in last pregnancy) but I too am someone who Needs To Know (frankly if someone could install a window in my uterus so I could see what's going on AT ALL TIMES I might have gone for it). I would also have had the invasive testing if the risk had gone back down to my baseline for age. Also mrleedy and I are both on the same page re when we'd consider termination , I can totally see how other people might have different views and how it'd be tough if you didn't quite agree.

Anyway, best of luck with the scan eve and really hope it gives some reassuring results and you don't need to consider further testing.

BTW the site for the fetal medicine unit I went to says that it's possible to get CVS results sent to a special lab that can give some preliminary results in two or three days, don't know if that's something you can ask for where you are. Also lists the risk for CVS as between 1/200 and 1/100, so slightly better than 1/100 - midwife when I had my NT said the risk is going down all the time as scanning technology etc. improves.
