TTC after recent mc - Thread 2

I'm sniggering at image of YorksPeanut practising and then being complimented on, her saying 'vagina'. awesome skills!

Congrats Brie Fx it sticks! Yep, 1-2 weeks may not always be the greatest sight but, every pg starts off with that at some stage, right?

Yay Brie congrats! FX for a sticky one! xxx

All the guys laughing at the med student...I'd laugh too, but I've been that student, fainted in the first C-section I scrubbed for. I've been in theatre loads of times but scrubbed in with all the gear on and under the lights, having missed breakfast and lunch....nearly landed on the poor woman. Mortified does not begin to cover it! Luckily hasn't happened again . On the bright side, I'm amazing at saying 'vagina'!

Sally guess you're pretty much synced with me then, I'm also not sure if I want to give it my full effort this month. Timing wise it'd be awful, not only with Christmas boozing but I graduate in Sept next year so if I fell on now I'd be a month shy of graduating when I went on mat leave - gutted! So I'm probably going to try and leave the sticks alone and go for a que sera sera attitude this month will probably break and wee on a stick by the end of next week

lol did you see the lights again? So jealous, would LOVE to see them x

oooooo! Brie keeping it low key though of course

Well my resolve lastest all of a day.. Just got a wee BFP. Delighted of course but all too aware of the ways a "1-2 week" positive can go.

Positive peeing vibes out to you now lol... Sorry I got too impatient.

Heehee. My friend had a c-section last week and the medical student fainted. She was apologising to him for being so disgusting!! Poor thing. He was horrified at fainting.

Talk about being in the wrong profession!

Lol at the shy nurse... Reminds me of the time I was having some dental work done (reluctantly, I have a huge dentist phobia and finally manned up enough to even get that far) - I think I was having a tooth out.

Half way through, the dental nurse just walked, very quckly, out of the room. Didn't say anything, but the dentist muttered something as she went and she nodded and I was like WTF, is something wrong?!?!

Turns out she felt faint at the sight of blood. For real.

at medical professionals ( and those who work with pregnant women ) not being able to say sex or vagina out loud

I'm also a wine sulker post a BFN/AF arrival Sally. Fx for next month.

Hey all!

AF got me on Thursday, so after a few days of sulking (and wine) I'm back to it. Half hoping for a BFP for Christmas and half thinking that I'd have to let on to my family at six weeks if it worked (if I show up for Christmas and turn down the alcohol and other non-preg safe stuff it'd give the game away immediately...) which would be less than ideal. Plus, you know, no alcohol.

Good luck to everybody getting ready to poas.

I read a very moving article in Red magazine by a woman who has had five MC and has now set up an organisation which arranges memorial services for anyone who has lost a baby in pregnancy or early infancy. They will be held in cathedrals but are for people of any faith or none. Thought some of you might be interested. Details here www.sayinggoodbye.org

Kittybump you made me laugh - makes me think of Miranda's mum on the sitcom. It was probably me who freaked looked a bit after several doctors had said I had to "take" the tablets and then the nurse approached wielding a tampon!

Good morning everyone. AF is still stalking me, but hasn't shown yet. Pains getting stronger every day but really very bizarre tbh.

Similar to usual AF pains, but werid in that normally I only get them a bit day before arrival, fairly strong on actual day of arrival and then moderate on day 2. This time, been having mild pains since Thursday, getting stronger and stronger, but nowt to report just yet.

Anyone else had this the cycle after a chemical pg? It's just weird. It's like it's forgotten how to get rid of stuff or is having very half-hearted attempt then giving up. But pains totally different to when I was pg, so am sure it's not that.

Great that everything went as well as possible KittyBump is the 4 weeks due to risk of infection? Maybe you could phone and check for clarification as it is very random.

Sorry about the constant reminders GBT that's terrible. Must be very upsetting. I had a moment the other day, someone in RL was talking about Christmas and it hit em that if everything had gone right, we had been planning tell the family at Christmas as I would be about 14 weeks. Bah.

Exciting dream Lol - and hope you get a clearer view of the lights too!

Hi to everyone else

Hiya, thundercats I have no idea why she said 4 weeks, though she couldn't bring herself to say the word sex, she had to mouth it to me like this so perhaps she was being a little over cautious :)
Also one of the nurses mouthed to me when explaining about the insertion of the first lot of tablets - seriously I have heard the word before and we are in a private room?! I lost count of the amount of medical staff who felt the need to tell me the first lot of tablets were inserted in the vagaina. There must have been a situation were someone freaked out when they came in to 'administer' the first lot of tablets and started heading for the bottom of the bed!
lol and brie I'll be testing around then too but hoping for a BFN :)

Morning all!!

Fingers crossed for everyone poas this week.

I'm not going to test this cycle (although it does all seem to be back to normal). so hopefully I'll be in for a surprise in 9 months
Making a checklist of all the pregnancy unsafe food I'll be eating over Christmas; pate three times a day you say? challenge accepted!

echo, well done on joining the protest, the photos looked like there were loads of people there!

Hope everyone has a good week.

Hi everyone. This not trying is a nightmare. Got very excited to find some 'lovely' EWCM yesterday and it's just wasted. However, it does mean that things are back on track, and I should see AF at the beginning of December. It does mean another holiday during a 2ww (after swearing blind next time I'll be incredibly virtuous) but we'll see. Maybe a nice new year present...

Ok lol I'll let you go first! Fingers crossed for you.

Hi Brie
Af due 24th for me but I'm planning to hold on until 26th at least before I poas.

Despite reading all of the above, I can't remember if anyone might be testing about the same time as me? Bout the 25th-ish.. Not very good on my dates.
I say might because I will try not to until a week later, but at least here I can make my confession when I do waste a couple of clear blue digitals long before then.

The stockings thing make me laugh too! Hope everyone's doing ok despite what's being thrown at them. Shoes, pants, stools!

Yeah, maybe it'll be my pants flying out the door next....hmm nice thought

I hope to join you not literally in not knowing in the next few weeks. Must try to switch brain off and not think too much. At least Cheistmas and new year is a good distraction!

We'll have to rename you thunderpantsarego hope you feel better soon!

Yeah, won't have any idea where we stand for a few weeks but that's ok, it's just nice having a break from worrying about it all.

Well it's good either way then by the sounds of it. Enjoy the shagging and if you get no af (or you see some more shoes flying out of your hand through the front door) for a good few more weeks, test then. And if af does come, that's no bad thing as you'll know where you are then?

I have a new friend. He's called mr deflateze. .

er, I don't think anything will come of all the early shagging. Bit of an unfortunate post too soon there!

what a mental image! Poor will.

To be honest I didn't get many strong symptoms with this last pregnancy as it was a blighted ovum, so I never got any ms or anything. My earliest symptom was feeling a pulse around the womb area when I was lying down on my back quietly. I don't normally get that so I attributed it to increased blood flow and therefore activity down there! Then I had a feeling of fullness/pressure there, and bloody loads of trapped wind, which was nice. I eventually got the occasional stabby pain in my boobs after a few weeks, then they got a bit tender, but then that all wore off again when I got the mc. I did get very tearful and smell sensitive early on, I actually ripped my dp's smelly trainers off and threw them out the front door as the smell was knocking me sick

I did an opk earlier just to know where I stand as we have dtd every day for past 3 days (to be fair we hadn't done it for two months! Not normally this prolific!) the opk had no line at all so I doubt anything will come

Oh ok

Did you get any tell tale symptoms last time you got bfp, james? Mine was sore boobs so I reckon that would be my clue. Otherwise I'd probably just give it a good few weeks since ERPC.

Poor Will indeed. Nobody really deserves to be shagged at. By so many people as well...
