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 overindulgence

Hi there, can anyone help me with this? www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/1474805-4-weeks-post-m-c-today

Manda thinking of you and will be eagerly awaiting updates when you are able Good luck

marff I know that you know that I know what you mean, if you see what I mean? :P Hehehe.

This will be my last update this morning, I promise...

I just called delivery suite as I think I'm losing fluid too (and I'm group b strep pos) so instead of going to see my consultant, I'm going to them. If it is my waters, then I will most likely have to stay and have antibiotics. I'm getting niggly 'braxtons' every 20 mins or so, so in all honesty, I can be indenial all I like but I think Things Are Happening.

I have packed a bag.

Also have a runny tummy... which is how it started with DS2.

Ladies, may you all be here in my shoes very soon! I'm not actually wearing shoes at the moment, but you know what I mean. THis thread is very special and I just wanna thank you all for...y'know. Everything.

I don't have smart phone although DF is trying to force me into the current times and get an iphone so won't be able to update at the hospital, I don't think. Well, maybe from his phone, I will.

(Oh, in other news, DD has emerged from her bedroom, and although still clearly ill has improved lots - she even smiled briefly!)

Good luck Manda :o

Boris - when I was using those tests, they didn't show a positive for me until I was already 5-6 weeks when CB had been picking up the hormone from 3 weeks so if you're getting them you must have the right hormones going on in there! :)

Good luck Manda!

oh you know i didnt mean that you should 'pack DS2 off' but i know you know that IYSWIM

my DS was in a right huff with me when i spent a night in hospital during my MC last year, he wouldnt come to me for about 2 days as he thought i had abandoned him so i do know what you mean.

its all hands to the pump then i guess!

Get packing Manda!! Good luck!

Back at work and bored already. Nice to see a different 4 walls for a change though. Got 29 stroppy 14 year olds about to walk through the door in 10 mins though so the boredom will soon go...

It's only the one person going on about the timing - eh, it kinda niggled a little but some people get caught up in details and...well, that's their perogative and mine to show them how they're not correct in their assumptions

As for packing DS2 off, it's not a good idea as although he had his MMR on monday afternoon it's not a guarantee that he won't still get measles. Same goes for DS1. So, we really need to get through early next week (although I was told symptoms could appear up to 18 days after DD's rash started, which takes us in to the following week). Although they don't need to be quarantined unless they start showing symptoms, similarly they need to be kept away from high risk groups 'just in case'... I just had a cry at DF that 'what if I end up having to stay in hospital for a few days? DS2 is gonna think I've vanished off the face of the earth (as he won't be allowed to visit me)' DS2 and I spend 99.99% of our time, day and night, together. The only night he's spent away from me was when I was in hospital last year and he didn't cope too well. Ugh.

But maybe I'll not deliver today. I mean, the braxtons I've been getting for the whole damn pregnancy, it seems seem a little... dunno, periody painy now. But that doesn't mean this is it. Anyway. I have the consultant at 11.30am today so maybe if I mention stuff they'll put me on the monitor/check it out and... ah, shoot. This could so be it. I need to pack a bag. So why am I MNing?

(watch me return later still totally pregnant and nothing doing )

thats true actually pebs about the IC's - i did about three last week and they all came back completely negative, then the CB digi did its magic.

good luck manda - it if happens today!!

boris, the ic's are always faint i think.

i was having a panic last time i was pg as they weren't getting any darker but it's just the way they are. I was pg with twins and they were still faint.

oh oh boris a faint line is a faint line. you can join me, we can be term buddies!

seriously though, this sounds, well, positive. Get yourself a CB digi (wilkinsons do them for about £7 i think) and fingers crossed!

and as if my nerves couldnt take any more manda

Wow Boris that sounds promising to me, do what manda says and test again in the morning, but a positive is usually a positive, so 4 positives.........

boris my love, a positive is a positive.

Now, I can't remember everyone's info lately (kinda distracted and all that... ) but how many cycles are you from your loss? It seems quite common (so for that, read normal) for ov to be later in the cycles following a loss. Obviously some women ping right back on track with their cycles but most won't.

Get a good test and do it in the morning with your first wee of the day if you're wanting a result that is less ambiguous because this afternoon with may be too dilute/not held long enough (alternatively, if you must test later, hold your wee for four hours... and don't drink a crap load beforehand!)

Good luck, but it sounds good to me!

Morning all.

Good luck today Backward I returned to work on Tuesday. Everyone was so understanding. I'm doing shortened hours this week as I've been exhausted by the end of the day. Is this something you can do too? I tested yesterday and got a negative too, I know what you mean about it being odd to be happy about it. I thought I'd misread the test and got so cross that it said positive.

Well the sex strike is still in force. I'm only allowed to cross the picket line for hugs. I'm expecting placards in our room tonight! "what don't we want? Sex" "when don't we want it? When you are ovulating!"

Anyway, I think my fertility friend iPhone app is wrong. It has set my cycle length to 31 days by calculating the time I was pg as one v long cycle. So by my calculations (with no scientific basis whatsoever as I haven't had a period yet) DH and I did manage to DTD when I think I was ovulating (although I may have totally invented symptoms etc). So, I am consider the TWW to begin and am officially metalling. Yikes!

Thanks marff and blue for the kind words re: DD over on t'other thread.

Well, I could NOT sleep last night. BAck ache, shooting pains down from groin/inner thighs... I got up at 5 in the end which is VERY unlike me! Just feel so blah and uncomfortable that I got in a bath a 7am... and I think I've lost some of my plug whilst in there.

Please, please, please don't let today be the day! I need more time to make sure the lurgy hasn't spread around the rest of my offspring and... just NO! I haven't even packed my hospital bag! I don't even know if I've got everything I need!

Right, I'm going back to work tomorrow after my mmc. I think it's time. I feel fine physically and emotionally I think I'm as good as I'll get. So, I think being at work will be good for me - give me something else to think about. I'm not looking forward to all the sympathy though... My boss sent me some flowers today, bless her.

So trying again... I did a pg test this morning and it was negative (yay - I've never done a pg test and wanted it to be negative before!), so am now looking out for ovulation symptoms. Poor DH wont know what's hit him.

tits hope you're ok x
Boris what a fecking cheek. Grrr!
Martha how are you doing?
Yikes hope the bleeding stops for you soon. I'm on day 7 since I 'properly' miscarried and I thought things had stopped yesterday, but today I am getting some spotting when I wipe. I'm hoping it's almost finished...
Hugs to everyone I've forgotten x

tits sorry you're feeling so down, it's understandable - this is a very nervewracking time - I agree with maybe speaking to your midwife. Good news on the heartbeat :)

Boris asking for a referral somewhere else sounds like a good plan to me, they sound rubbish.

x posted

tits you sound a little better, pick yourself up - dust yourself off and start all over again xxxx (its my mantra)

manda just sent you a hand holding message on your other thread, FX you are all ok x

so sorry you are feeling down tits, 13 weeks is a really emotional time and lets face it - it is a significant time. Honestly you are going to be fine, but i would urge you to speak to your MW or GP for some support

in the meantime we are all here

tits, do you mean ... KNICKERWATCHWATCH?

Thanks for all the kind messages. I had something to eat and drink and dragged myself out of bed and had a potter around and a shower.
I am feeling a bit better now, I think the key is sometimes to just keep going otherwise I get stuck in a gloomy place and it's hard to get out of it.
I will talk to the midwife though, she seems lovely. I never went back to the GP, the sickness has eased off a bit since the weekend so I'm ok without the meds.
Just waiting on NT results now

All your messages really helped though and I did find HB later after a cup of sweet tea, it was a bit fainter so I assume he/she is hanging out at the back.

Public knicker checking has kept me quite amused today, not something I have personally done but I am going to be watching like a hawk for other people doing it, just so I can give a knowing nod.

Thank you ladies for cheering me up no end with you PKC!!!!
Never tried it though ad I would be too chicken, I'd be the one running to the loo.

mumtum thinking of you for Friday.

yikes totally know how you feel. Is am at day 21 and still bleeding although it definitely seems to be getting less. Also finally got -hpt. Never though I'd be delighted to see one of those.

boris I can't believe the cheek of that receptionist. You were dead right to ask for your results.

Wishing all pg ladies well.

lol Boris!
