Just MC and ready to try again? Pregnant after MC and seeking somewhere safe to hide? Come on down to the mosh pit for some serious metalling and cake

Hi Tits you can always go for a private scan if you dont want to wait. I had a scan every week from wk 5. Was so much easier to cope with just one wk at a time rather than 3. And my boobs have barely been sore with this pregnancy. My prevoius 3 the boobs were really sore but this one (which is the only one where I have got to 12 wks) not much. So each pregnancy is different.

Welcome mrsnesbitt. Are you getting any support with this pregnancy? This is number 4 for me, after 3 MCs and this one I had lots of intervention, blood thinners, progesterone supplements etc etc. After 6 MCs I really hope they are giving you something.

shiny new thread and luxurious new mosh pit...lovely. Apoogies for the lack of name check, but trying to MN with toddler lurking is not conducive to thoroughness.

Lays out breakfast goodies: crumpets with so much butter it leaks through, croissants with dinky pots of conserves (save the big jars with the crumbs in for DHs and DPs), and some left over carrot and banana cake with lemon cream cheese icing in the hope that it gets eaten before I scoff the lot or the cat gets it.

moomin hoping your DS perks up and you all get some sleep sometime soon.

So thinking in terms of silver linings for those who found AF caught them. Each month during AF I get a bit pissed each night, drink lots of coffee and go horseriding with abandon. Fitting into wedding dress and not getting eaten alive by mozzies has to be a bonus I guess mumtum.

Great sympathy for people waiting for scans. I have mixed feelings about them, as they could provide a moment's reassurance, and I'm sure if I get pt again I will be asking for an early one. But I also know that they don't actually change anything or stop the worst happening, I guess the NT / 12 week one and anomaly /20 week ones are different. And even the growth scans later on if required. I had lots of those, and they didn't really pick up DS's lack of growth or my low fluids. But of course one goes, because you'd metal even more if you didn't IYSWIM. For me the worst thing about the scans is the wait before discovering my mmc and confirming it. If you have been TTC for any length of time you are going to be pretty certain about your dates, I mean you might be a few days out, but not weeks and weeks, to the point where they think you could have ovulated up to 6 weeks later than you really did, which is what happened with me and resulted in me waiting over 2 weeks for the ERPC. Rant over.....for now.

2WW here. FF says I ovulated saturday and says AF due next wednesday, which is 10 DPO. LP was always 14 days before mc, so not that pleased it's now 10 days, but hoping the B6 will improve that. OTOH it guess a 10DW is better than 14 days sitting around poking my boobs! FF gives us a High score for our SWI this month. I'd give it a high score too .

Hi all, sorry for not name checking

Ds3 is ill with a virus, so no sleep for nearly a week. Af is due weds but feeling soooo tired I've hardly thought about it

Hope everyone is ok

Not quite tas coffee bean was before DD. Not sure I could fit them all into nine months actually that'd be 14+17+15 which would have made me 46 weeks pregnant if you roll them all into one package No no space for even a WTF cycle in there either! But you are half right - I conceived DD in coffee bean's WTF cycle meaning that time I was pregnant for 58 weeks with a 2 week break - and it's mini-toe's due date next week meaning I've done 32 weeks of pregnancy in the last 9 months....yikes :( No wonder my pregnancies always seem so long!

Glad your work are being nice. Well done on breaking your duck though. Do you feel better about going back tomorrow?

Ahhh hello martha nice to see you. Your DS is a proper cutie. And I see no wrinkles! Fingers crossed for this month xxx

midget HOW to knicker check in public? I've done some mighty personal things in public but that one will need some explaining

Hope you feel better soon blue - early night?

Evening all...just marking my place on this shiny new thread...think I may be coming down with a cold which is not good timing for all the work I have to get through this week! Will catch up properly tomorrow...

mumtum have a lovely metalling free wedding

tas you really don't want to know....

oh and mumtum have a very lovely wedding!

missc am I right in thinking that if your original due date is approaching, you have been through all this with coffee bean and mini toe in 9 months???? Sorry I joined this thread and immediately got the ectopic which means I'm not really on the ball. If I've got it right, then you are properly allowed to metal, have weekly scans, Personal Midwife, whatever you want!

jaffa well remembered! yes my first day back at work, was absolutely shattered after 5 hrs and went home. Glad my work are very understanding. And my laptop went beserk and shut me out. The only other person in the office said it was a sign that I should pack up and go home for the day!

tits glad scan was good, though waiting around for 3 wks is hard

midget am very curious to know how you check knickers in public!!

pebs thinking of you x

martha hope you're feeling better, well pregnant and not ill anyway! I'm pulling at the ropes of the VIP lounge too, then freaking out and running away!

grandpoo did you already tell us about the appt last week? Sorry if I've missed it, what was underwhelming?

marking my place and hi to mrsnesbit, I also love that bit in Toy Story

Evening, thanks for the kind messages, 3 weeks is excessive isn't it?! I have the consultant OBGYNE on Wed. She said today that in 3 weeks I should be 8 weeks and we can tell for sure of this little bean is viable, in other words if I get there and there is no yolk sac or heartbeat then that's me done, of course I have to get into another 3 weeks without anything happening first.
Tiredness is less now which is a worry and apart from the very first weeks I have had no sickness, boobs are slightly sore on and off and that's about it, I am praying for some morning sickness! (aware I may regret that I'm a week or so)

DP's mum told me about how he was after the mc he was brave and strong here but apparently he went home and sobbed, he said all he's ever wanted is to hold a baby of ours in his arms. I want this so badly!!

I am feeling a bit safer over here so have backed off the due in Nov group a little, I hope that's ok. It's busy there and I am feeling a bit fragile.

Got you! bookmarking

Marking my place,hello all. Thanks martha for new thread. I think I'm just a day ahead of you, being at cd 25 today. Apart from feeling a bit pukey,I have absolutely no symptoms and my boobs were unbearable last time so not feeling overly positive. I am desperately trying to wait it out. Fingers crossed for you.
Sorry to mumtum, congrats about the wedding,you must be really excited about that,I bet it's going to be a beautiful day.

grand thinking of you in this never ending 2ww too!
iq thank you so much for keeping us updated,it's so lovely to hear your good news,I'm not surprised that your little one wants to stay there! It's really great to hear your progress. Hope you're not feeling too uncomfortable.
tits sorry about the wait,that is rubbish, watch Pointless for distraction? It's not working too well for me now...

Hope everyone is well, I am just about to make crispy fried chicken (buttermilk deep south style),so the diet is going really well. You guys are more than welcome to join me,I cook enough for a reasonable army usually.

marking spot on new thread (thanks marff!) as DS2's tailing off cold/flu thing ramped back up to 'poor little buggar couldn't breath through his nose last night' so we got very little sleep and I'm barely compos mentis.

But! I do so love that bit in Toy Story when 'drunk on tea' Buzz rants 'I'm MrsNesbit!' So. Kudos on the name and congrats on the absence of AF!

Marks place

Fingers crossed for my cycle buddy Martha but sadly I shall bs retiring to club class for the next two weeks sadly af arrived today so my v sore boobies must have only been Made so sore by my constant prodding

Well actually I will only be round for the next week 6 sleeps and counting till we fly out for my wedding. Thankfully with this to look forward to I did not dissolve into a crumbling heap on the toilet floor when I realised af was here but instead thought of the positives -all inc hotel for wedding can wear deet filled midgy spray won't be bloated with water retention in wedding dress etc etc

Welcome mrs n sorry u are here but metal all u like these ladies are fab!!

Missc following gushgate I'm not surprised at the paranoia I too would want not to move at all!!

Yay for the scan as normal though j agree a 3 week wait is harsh

Hi to everyone else can't scroll back on the I phone free so sorry if I missed u And hope u are all ok

Jealous of your hospitable womb IQ. I've been informed mine is rather inhospitable place to be (has its positives, never had to wait for D day)

mrs c - I don't think gushgate counts as metalling, think that would have concerned even my freaky positive alter ego.

I have knicker checked so many times I've lost count. I am
Also ashamed to say I've found a way to do it in public. tmi? Hell yeah!

tits 3 weeks seems a bit harsh, I thought best practice is 2 weeks. The swines.

mrsn you have come to the right place for some support and people who will totally understand why you have to slip of the rose tinted spectacles and see them through the eyes of recurrent losses. Saying that my alter ego is a chirpy positive little thing but you never know which one of me you will get.

Waves at everyone else and has some of that left over full English breakfast....

Like the new thread, martha, thanks for setting it up.

Tits, hurrah for normal. Hold on for the next 3 weeks.

Tas, were you back at work today? Hope it went well as can be expected.

Pebs, thinking about you. When is your next scan?

Hello mrsnesbit, welcome to our mosh pit.

Iq, thinking of you too. Wondering how you are getting along now. Hope you are able to get some rest.

MsC, many sympathies with the knicker checking. I have this and that is without the stress of gushgate.

Well, I am in a strange place. My morning sickness keeps coming and going. Some days it is hardly there, other days I am gagging, and the nausea is a backdrop to everything I do. I had a few days at the weekend where I wasn't feeling very sick and it scared me. It has come back a bit. I keep worrying about what I am doing, eating, sleeping etc. I am counting down to my first scan, a week on Wednesday. I have such a long way to go before I am out of my own mental danger zone, but at least if this scan goes ok, I know that the baby is still alive.

Hello ladies - welcome to mrsnesbit!!!

grand I think you have pretty much summed up the post MC pg experience there!!

So to catch everyone up with the saga of mini IQ and her refusal to be removed - we went in for the 40 week check and she is low down and giving all the signs that she is ready so the MW had another rummage around. It wasn't a stretch and sweep because the cervix hasn't come down enough to do that. After the rummage the MW checked the HB again to see if it had any effect on her.......no effect at all. The words she used were "mmmmmm she does seem very comfortable in there". To be honest if I had a choice to stay in or come out I would stay in - it's warm, you get carried everywhere you go, you have your own water to float around in and food on tap.......what's not to like .

She went through everything with us in terms of the next appointment and what to do in between if I think I've gone into labour - I had to explain that I'd already had 8 episodes of false labour so wasn't really holding out any hope. I genuinely think that this LO is gonna have to be dragged out of there which is slightly ironic considering her 2 episodes of pre-term labour. Oh well at least I'm not at work!!!

Afternoon

I had my scan, they say all looks normal for 5weeks they could see the sac but nothing else, back in 3 weeks time for another. Also started anticoagulant injections. So 3 more weeks of mettaling for me it would seem until I get to 8 weeks and take another peek in.

Also marking my place (and sympathising with the constant knicker checking/loo trips)

Also just marking place and gives a big wave Hope everybody is doing ok. Am sooo excited about IQ (I wonder what happened to marathon and baby who were on this thread for ages?! has anybody seen them posting elsewhere??)
