Trying to conceive after mc? Pregnant after MC and seeking somewhere safe to hide? Recently graduated from the mosh pit? Come on down to the mosh pit for some serious metalling and cake part 4

Hope it comes soon mrshp Is your dp at home during OV next time? I'm excited about using CB digi ov sticks this month (sad I know!) but as it turns out, I'll probably be ov next Mon/Tues and my dp is having his sperm test next Weds and can't ahem, ejaculate, from 4 days before so looks like we'll miss it this month. I'm going to use the sticks anyway to check if they work or not, and we might catch a window over the weekend if I ov early...

jolly if your dp is like mine, he didn't like seeing me so upset, not just at time of mmc but the odd month when I react badly to another AF, and so doesn't talk about the situation much because he's trying to stop me being upset. This all came out in a heart to heart a few weeks ago. It's so important to talk isn't it otherwise you just assume all sorts!! Made us both feel better and agreed he needs to be a bit more chatty about it and I need to be bit less!! All good.

Slighty belated congrats to jolly and brave and beans! Hope I haven't missed anyone?

polka hope you are ok and tomorrow is ok.

cognito hope you can not worry too much between now and next week.

I am just waiting for AF to arrive due today/tomorrow and then we can back on with trying again!

polka I hope it all goes well tomorrow. Will be thinking of you and xf

Jolly I'd say keep away from the CBDs but I'd be an enormous hypocrite! But the other excellent advice you gave was 'today you are pregnant' and I'll repeat that :)
My DH was like that but has suddenly switched and is now very sweet and into it again which is good. He didn't really believe it until I'd been to GP even though i told him that they don't actually do anything (eg test!)

My boobs are not hurting as much which is naturally terrifying me! I'm going for an early scan next week... I've booked it at a time where if it's ok I'll be further along than I got last time (iyswim) but it's so tempting to get an earlier one as I'm officially over 7 weeks now

Jollyb everything crossed for you, waiting as long as possible is probably wise. I have resolved to not test again until Sunday at the earliest, maybe even Monday. Glad that work is being useful

Sorry your DP is playing things down. Like you say, he probably is being protective, but it just seems so harsh. Mine on the other hand is going in the opposite direction - we almost had a row last night bout the fact that I don't want to tell my family until after a scan. He implied that he'd be telling his family before Christmas, which freaks me out a bit. He's saying I should be more positive.

I think some OH's are simply better at handling this pregnancy lark than others. Bless em. Keep us posted Jolly

Thanks for the warm welcome, ladies. My longer and more personal thanks was just eaten by an ill-timed computer shutdown - grrrr!

Still thinking of you polka. The days waiting for a scan when worrying symptoms are there are really rotten and I hope you're being as gentle as you can be to yourself during the wait.

Thanks Yikes and Jolly - caved and bought some CBDigital last night, got a 2-3 weeks this morning. Plenty still to worry about, but that was a little reassuring. Fx you're line gets dark soon Jolly

Still thinking of you Polka - keep resting up. Sending positive thoughts...

Thinking of you today polka and good news later.

Congrats on BFPs ladies!

Great news bear and beans!!
Hope the bleeding stops soon polka - we're all rooting for you

Thinking of you polka xx

glad you have rested up. keep doing that. Hope the bleeding is easing off and will be thinking of you on friday

Yup I've just slept by the fire most of the day and DH has been amazing tho he's still very hopeful even when I'm sure it's curtains. S'pose only time/scan will tell

tas I am starting to wish everyone wasn't being so discreet Everyone is being all tight lipped and asking every so often on text if I am 'ok'. I just want them to chill now and be like, yeah whatevs is just Wilde being pg! How BANAL. so am the total opposite :) !

does seem a bit like you expected your friend to be more discreet but if you didn't SAY keep it a secret then... hmmm. hmm.

fingers crossed polka. how are you doing now? are you at home resting x

Polka don't give up hope completely, hope Friday's scan brings good news.

Brave, ooh! Congrats! This is proving a lucky thread for bfps.

Hi beans, hope this bean is a sticky one for you.

I know what you all mean about not investing in the pg, I'm in a weird place, half way between loving my bean bump and not being able to properly engage with the pg. the bump is getting v noticeable, when I turn up at work after a month off sick, I'm going to raise some eyebrows!

I just got a txt from a friend congratulating me on my pg. a mutual friend told her and I feel a bit weird about it. I didn't specifically tell the mutual friend not to tell anyone, but with the last 2 she knew quite early and I remember her being quite discreet. I suppose I am 16 wks now. I just feel a bit weird. I haven't even told work yet as I've been off for so long. Am I being silly? I just can't quite face telling people. I told this particular friend after the dating scan as she had asked if I was ok, as I had seemed a bit off lately. I had been off as I'd been so stressed and under the weather and I wanted to explain. Anyway, what do you all think?

wilde maybe

Didn't want to be whatever the opposite of a buzzkill is by glossing over bad news with something that is a bit happier... Thank you for the crossed fingers. Am slightly scared tbh. But will hope and be as positive as possible.

So glad you're finally bought in let's hope you can start to enjoy it a bit more now and the little urchin behaves

brave did you sneak in a BFP announcement?! congratulations! fingers crossed for you too :)

spade I wasn't bouldering I was clambering up a hill with, ahem, boulders. I know, I know but in my defense I am normally a very active person and had a burst of energy and love for being in the wild outdoors and a funny little 2 year old who needed a climb too! I won't do it again now I know it means trouble :)

welcome beans sorry for your loss, and good luck!

ah guys, I totally know what you mean about buying into your pgs. I am into mine hook, line and sinker now though. Bizarrely, after thinking I was going to lose my urchin the other day and starting that grieving process it made me realise how attached I was, really. I am openly smitten now.

thinking of you polka

Not cramping wilde but just a bit achy.

polka do you have any cramping chuck? if not it is a good sign, bleeding could be from a clot or cyst or something around the baby. fingers tightly crossed x

Oh Polka I'm so sorry to hear that you never know, there may still be hope. But I know it's going to be hard to cling on to that if things are getting worse.

Hi ladies thx for your kind thoughts, sadly bleeding got worse thru the night so am not very hopeful for a positive outcome, GP trying to arrange scan on fri when I'll be 6 wks life is a complete BIATCH not only does it take me nearly 5 yrs to conceive then i have a mmc and now this in 9 months, bloody body!

Welcome to bear and YEY for beans

Hey polka sorry I missed you yesterday afternoon - how are you doing today? Have you managed to get an appointment with EPU? Sending you every positive thought in the world.

Hi there HJ Beans sorry you join us but you're very welcome. And congratulations on your current pregnancy! Fx this one sticks.

I lost my last pg at 5 and a half weeks... And I just found out this morning that I'm pg again. Shocked and a little scared but the line was strong so I'm allowing myself the merest hint of excitement

And having read back a few paged now, sending best thoughts to you polka. Know several people this has happened to and had it turn out fine - hope it will for you, too.
