TTC after recent mc - Thread 2

Almond I like pukka teas too, and they're in brizzle so shoppin' local like [frgin] (to my parents in my case!)

Am now feeling amused at the idea of a laura ashley skirt trophy!

I'm off to bed girls but just wanted to say hi.
Yey James fx for a stronger line next poas.
I haven't made midwife app yet as it was tough cancelling it last time.
Might but a cb digi tomorrow but they're so expensive!

Aug 16th sounds good, doesn't it Posy

Yey to Afs for those of you who wanted them but boo to LAs!

Night x

Hi girlies
Can't open this thread on the app. It keeps crashing!
Wow loving the name changes. B and festive things have got to be winners!
And wow wow wow James!!! I know the feeling of not wanting to get too excited. Take it one poas day at a time!
I'm feeling as thirsty as a camel, all the time. And tired. Been napping after work and going to bed straight after eating.
Re caffeine. I drink a can of coke zero almost everyday but no coffee or tea. I also sometimes take paracetamol with caffeine if I have a headache as its below the 200 mg. luckily though I have not had headaches and I generally do!

Posy I just switched to decaf tea (got to be Twinnings though otherwise it tastes rough) and I drink decaf Costa anyhow. Also dabbling at some herbal teas and found some nice ones from Pukka (although v expensive but I am thinking I am saving on the wine bill!).

James I am having the same symptoms as you. Insatiable thirst which I just cant quench! I think I must have drunk 3l today! Also very tired and emotional. My boobs arent that sore though and I definitely had that last time trying not to compare too much. Cramps seem to be subsiding a bit. My DH also thinks he is gods gift. His self-nominated nickname is 'Sperminator' !

Brave I think I am going to get past my 'milestone' too as I had a similar problem with the hospital ringing me up and saying I had missed an appointment .

Well blunder you are most restrained, must be a week and a half since you last poas (yes, I'm aware I sound like a very odd stalker with a HPT fetish) can't hurt to do another.
I can't wait till I get the travelling skirt, at £55 it would be one of the most expensive items of clothing that I'd own must get more clothes!
AF still going strong, DH casually dropped into conversation 'so remind me how long your period will last?' its either cos he is desperate for some sex or he's hoping the PMT will stop possibly both. He'll be sorry when I'm back to making him perform every other night! I had to say I had no clue how long AF will be visiting - if she keeps up this level of enthusiasm I may keel over
james was it you that suggested spatone? I've been taking it for a while and I'm definitely warmer and I have red cheeks so must be working, ta x

Ahh love the name booze!

Yeah once we get our bfps we set the skirt in silver and make a trophy of it.

Oh good lord. The sisterhood of the travelling laura ashley skirt blunder. Niiiice.

Thought I'd get with the btimes!

Thanks for the advice ref coffee/tea. I had a decaf at soft play, and, er, couldn't tell the difference but know I would have been furious with it first thing

I also blame my mc on many and varied non-reasons, I think it's natural. Glad coffee doesn't have to go!

Would jst like to say thankyou to peeps for th advice, its jst so nice to have people to talk to about it.xxxxxxxx

have you poas tins?

No idea blunder maybe the force of the B is with me! More likely that it's just hormones a bit doolally still though, have had a bit of on and off spotting for a few days before period since MC. Not v hopeful.

Ps knicker cam here reports spotting. Must be the other twin implanting

bump, hi there. No I haven't poas since last faint one. Haven't had the urge to do it and stupidly saving hpt for when I'm going for bfp?! reckon its worth me checking?

How's the af? Calming yet? Maybe anda should post you the skirt- it could be our talisman.

I'm good thanks booze - I don't work Thurs or Friday so luckily at home today, DD may be traumatised though, she is potty training at the moment and likes to check whether I've done a wee or a poo when I go to the loo, I've been trying to keep her out of the bathroom as much as possible!
I had implantation bleeding with the mc pg, it was red. I can't remember if I had it with the DD pg as I probably didn't know what it was back then :)
Have you had a BFN yet thunder ?

tins, does that mean it was implantation spotting before then?

Well - all AF signs (hopefully not a Laura Ashley esque one on the way) have disappeared again. Could really do without it being late (unless for a good reason but not hopeful) or I will be ovulating next month at Christmas whilst staying with MIL though DH does like furtive shagging

james subdued yay! fx the line gets nice and dark soon.

Caffeine - I went straight to decaf unless really desperate. Probably overdoing it and I don't think I'd bother cutting out completely again (I know damn well it had nothing to do with the mc...)

Loving the Laura Ashley! I'd take it back too.

6dpo, definitely not doing any symptom spotting... tra la la...

anda, I didn't know it could be brown too. I didn't get imp bleed last time and I don't want to clutch at straws here so I'll try not to think about that and wait for af or sore boobs.

Yeah peanut, I read that too re caffeine. Ridiculous the things we try to blame isn't it. Either way I enjoy it too much can't give it up completely.
Yes I am freezing. I'm sat next to a radiator and am contorting myself trying to get as much of my body as possible in direct contact with it. Not a good work posture. If it gets any colder I'm just going to have to either make a coat out of a duvet or work from a steaming hot bath.

Wooop James congrats and am having a right belly-wobbler of a chuckle at DP's response. Standard! Hope your line is screaming and shouting in a few days :-)

Booze love the name change and can't help giggling at 'doing a LA'. I'd take it back, if it's not damaged where's the harm - they can resell it!

Re caffeine, it's 200mg or less a day. Equates to 2 mugs filter coffee approx. No blaming of coffee required blundercats, the research relating to miscarriage ACTUALLY said it's considered safe below 400mg/day and even over that it's only a slight increased risk. Is just something else for us all to kick ourselves over. I still haven't forgiven myself for the mass consumption of pate two days before I found out

Anyone else chuffing FREEZING?

1 a day for me too, and I savoured it!!

blunder I think it's supposed be brown or pink if implantation - I did extensive research when I was clutching at straws trying to work out if it was a mc or not!!

bumpkitty hope you're okay. Mine seems to have calmed down a lot after 24 hours. I prescribe wine and sushi, and maternity pads x

Great name change Boozeanda!

Glad you're feeling better.

Posy I think it's one cup filter coffee or two cups instant, and two cups of tea.

I am sticking to one cup/half cup of proper coffee then decaff or water/ribena.

Clairey I was heading for a 36 day cycle (four days longer than usual) but I caught straight away. Mine was only at 5+2 though, so not a great indicator, sorry.

It did cross my mind about implantation but as dtd was less than a week before I figured it unlikely. Also (tmi alert), this was basically brown cm, isn't implantation supposed to be fresh blood? I think it was actually still the mc bleed continuing unfortunately.

Bad luck on the LA though bump - lucky you didn't get caught out like poor anda though?!

posy, I was having one cup of coffee (or sometimes tea) a day. I definitely am totally addicted need the caffeine, otherwise get a headache. I know it would be better to give up altogether though and of course am trying not to blame mc on that, along with every other thing I may have done wrong

blunder you could have had an implantation bleed then we could be happy for and jealous of you :) and it does look like I may be having a bit of a Laura Ashley!
posy I'm not sure about the coffee, I do remember something about 2 small cups - but I just went straight to decaf as I wasn't that bothered about missing the caffeine as I don't think it works on me!

I think it was karma for wishing for it to arrive! Better today.

James congratulations! Fx for you.

Blunder not running away yet - my cramps started on about Thursday and there were no trips to Laura Ashley until yesterday.

I managed to post my little story yesterday on my TTC board instead of this one. Poor things, think they'll be a bit traumatised now. Oops.

Clairey mine was 32 days, against a normal cycle of 28 days, but probably about 28 days from when my hcg went down to zero.

Can't decided about taking that sodding skirt back. The tags were on ribbon so I could, but I would feel bad, and it's a bit creased from sitting in the car on the way home - ie it looks worn...

I mean xx
