TTC after recent mc - Thread 2

Hiya peanut I am still lurking in the background. How are you doing? I'm hoping to say I'm in the 2ww, this will be the first time I've been able to do this since mc.

Congrats bear on your bfp!!!

lol liking the name change. Do you remember when we all changed our names to have fruit in them for luck? Maybe the b will bring luck. (Although I can't think of any good b names)

To all who have recently miscarried sorry that its happened. I also agree with lol the on off bleeding spotting can go on for weeks, something I found torturous as it was a constant reminder of what happened.

From what I remember the bleeding came and went a couple of times with me. I would think it was over and it would start again. I've been told its pretty normal?

kitty you've taken some of the googled questions out of my mouth!

I've had very little bleeding since last Tues, but today much more with a short amount of quite sharp cramping. Lots of fresh blood too (sorry all).

Dr Google suggested cramping could be uterus shrinking down again...I dunno though.

I don't actually have port here but do fancy a drink. Might have baileys or cider - anyone fancy a glass?

Hi all - sounding good bear :) can't wait till we are all pg together! Till then - I'll have a port please

Right, now on to a question (sorry if I put anyone off their sushi!), since my ERPC last Friday I have had a bit of bleeding, perhaps around a 5p sized amount in a day so not very much. Yesterday I had hardly any, then today I have had full on period style cramps accompanied by brown bleeding. What's going on!? (Even more tmi - DH and I did get a bit amorous last night, didn't have sex but did have a bit of a fumble - could this be what has caused it? Tis our anniversary today so we were overcome with not having had sex for about 2 months emotion

james, that is so annoying! Can you turn it around without saying anything more?

Sorry bear, I grabbed the port without commenting on the cb result- that is great! Wish there was an face that was smiley rather than cross-looking

Christmas bfp/n- at least there will be loads of food and drink on hand to drown our sorrows....

I'm the same. If I don't get a bfp this month which I'm sure I will I'll also be due on Xmas day. Cruel!

Aaw good luck with the christmas bfp, pink, you deserve it!

Good news on the 2-3 weeks result bear, with this mc when I should have been 2-3 weeks the cbci said I was still 1-2, so it's a really good sign for you that everything is doubling and doing its thing!

So, I told dp (without mentioning ewcm) that I was "feeling fertile" yesterday, and he goes "aaw, not tonight" why do they always say that when you say it's time to go for it? is it the pressure, or just sod's law? Bumhead. I shall have to be more stealthy. Maybe if I say I can't even look at a penis tonight which is kinda true sod's law would mean he'd be nagging for sex?

Oo thanks bear!

Got any rare steak in there? (although perhaps more appropriate if you're rummaging in the fridge?!)

There will be a next time anda

I was one of those 'I'm not going to change my lifestyle because I'm pregnant' people (alcohol excepted). Next time (if there is a next time) I'm going to stick to the rules. I promise.

Actually just laughed out loud andadietcoke

Port handed over to thundercats

Pink a Christmas BFP would be amazing! Fx for you.

And Bombastic YorkshirePeanut I'm very impressed in your uber AF joy. Must be a good sign, right? Might be worth taking an iron supp though if it's that heavy...

I read that too....didnt eat it at the time though!

Oh, sushi... Although in one of the books I bought said that sushi was fine as it should be frozen first and so that kills all the bacteria. Knew it was too good to be true [facepalm]

Mmmmmmm sushi please.....

Oooh, what a nice few posts to come back to! Congratulations shhhhh to bear and brie!

belissima it's not superstition, it's positive mental attitude! Can I call you blol though

Can't think of anything b-based that goes with peanuts. BombasticPeanut? Hahaha

Been to see my acupuncturist today. She's proper thrilled with my AF because it's the heaviest period EVER (amazed I have any blood left in me tbh) - seems to think all the 'stale' lining has been flushed out and I'll get a nice new uterine lining for the next egg brave enough to show its face. I'm still not totally convinced by her woo but since I've been going to see her I've gone from no cycle to a 30-day cycle so I'll keep at it for now!

Anyhow, am in the rubbish week before there's any point dtd. So pink and thunder pass the cheese round, might as well have something to go with my pate and port. Or shall we all just go out for sushi?

Ibelieveinpink me too - waiting for AF after TTC is weird! I think, if AF turns up when I think it will, I could just about test on Christmas Day too. Although I'm going nowhere near the FRERs after last time. Going to the states on Boxing Day, and the 27th is our wedding anniversary, so there will be lots of things to distract me. If I'm getting a BFN I would really like one before I go. Although saying that, I can't cope with another mc in a foreign country - could be a bit too much déjà vu!!

bravelilbear don't you mean you splashed ON a CB test Sorry...

God I could drink some port right now, pass it over bear

What a Christmas present that would be eh pink!

Thunder and kitty, I am so with you on the wanting to be back to normal.

Unfortunately where my dates fall means that if everything goes perfectly to plan, I am expecting a nice BFP on Christmas day. Going to be hard when it doesn't go to plan, as it so obviously won't!

Now, if af would just hurry up and arrive......!

Nice namechange Lol I hope it's lucky for you! And BumpKitty has a nice ring too

Splashed out on the CBDCI and got a 2-3 this morning, which was a really good feeling. I know I'm not out of all the woods yet, but at least, hopefully, I've navigated through the chemical pregnancy one.

BTW does anyone want any port to go with your nice cheese fest? It's staring at me with an evil glint in its shiny bottled eye....

thundercats me too - regarding getting back to normal. I am trying to tell myself I won't be TTC till the new year to stop myself getting my hopes up - so far it's not working!

Well- you'd nicked the camembert and the Stilton so I figured a bit of dolcelatte would go nicely.

Thanks for the bfn info. Just feel so keen to get back to normal again. We'll see...

And also, how did you know? I am actually eating dolcelatte as I type. Spooky!!

thunder mine took longer than 10 days for a bfn. I tested at 16 days and still got a positive. I didn't do any in the meantime, but got a neg at 25 days. 16 days was a faint BFP though so I wasn't too concerned. If it was stronger I would have called the epu. Just for info.

Wow two BFPs, tentative congratulations to brie and bear
