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

you came out to work pebs! am so happy for you, what a milestone :)

whispering congrats to jolly as line is a line!

i have told my collegues today and am quite excited. i feel a bit bad as i know someone in my office is struggling with fertility issues. will try to stop talking about it but people are getting me excited.

i might be back to stressed out soon anyway and not want to talk about it. just feel a bit guilty even though it's not like i haven't had more than my fair share of problems.

welcome lady and so sorry to hear about your mc. look after yourself won't you.

jolly tentative woo for you! 11dpo is really early so don't be surprised it is faint! Don't do a digi test yet noooooo, i never actually brought myself to do one as seeing 'not pg' would have floored me (even tho clearly am). Hang on in there and try not to test again at lunchtime and later today as I would most certainly would have with my IC cheapies fingers crossed for you! oooh!

cheese I've just bought 2 more double packs of CBD

jolly that's how my current (succesful, currently 14 weeks)pregnancy started...

I'd still be testing tomorrow even if Sunday or Monday is more sensible!! I used CBD once a week till 5 weeks then saw GP.

Good luck - have everything crossed for you!! Xx

Congrats on bfp jolly crossing fingers for you that it sticks

Hi all, thank you all for making me feel so welcome! I've just got to get through next Wednesday, the date that was booked for my 12 week scan - then I'll be fine.

Tis lovely to (virtually) meet you all.

Hi lady sorry you find yourself here and yes there is no correct answer - we mc at 6 weeks in April and fell again straight after that unfortunately ended in a mmc at 10 weeks but we have our age against us. Ou ate n the right place for great advice and virtual love and hugs though x

jolly we are a band of five over the next two months - the run up to Christmas should be steamy lol x

Hi ladyflump I don't think there's a right answer to this one. I waited a cycle and kind of wish I'd not because I'm still not pg and wonder if I would've been more fertile straight away, however, I passed some tissue 2 months later that was left over. My friend got pg weeks after an ectopic and is ticking along nicely. I wouldn't worry about the dating, they sort that out eventually, my friend was dated okay. It's entirely up to you and how you feel. Good luck and take care xx

Hi ladyflump sorry to hear about your miscarriage, it's so unfair. :( So sorry for your loss. My own midwife told us to start trying straight away if it was what we wanted, but the hospital midwives suggested waiting for a period. We did try in the first cycle, but didn't conceive, then second cycle we caught again. All seems to be going well this time. Good luck xx

Forgot to say I was told to wait a cycle too, to allow any remaining miscarriage tissues to be passed during AF.

I don't think it's the end of the world if you try, though, to say the least.

My cycles were completely up the creek for a few months after my mmc at 11.5 weeks but were normal straight away after my m/c at 7 weeks.

Good luck! Xx

lady sorry to hear this

I started trying as soon as the bleeding stopped. They tell you to wait for one period but that's just so they can date it.

Welcome ladyflump - so sorry for your loss, it's such a horrible time. But you've come to the right place - lots of support here from ladies who understand.

pebs how lovely a boy!! There's some beautiful baby boy clothes in M&S just now.....

pixie AF is a bitch! Sorry she got you.

It looks like there could be a few of you TTC over Xmas - a nice time to be trying!! Xx

Hullo, I miscarried literally on Monday, I was at 10 weeks.

May I join your thread?

When is it ok to start trying again? Do I need to wait for a natural period then try after that, or can I just ahem dive right in once this bleeding stops?

Oh pixie, good u have supporting, trustworthy OH though.

Sorry pixie that's shit. Enjoy your bath and drink xxx

Congrats pebs! And also to Wilde you've both had good news today

Sorry jolly but as you say, not over yet. I also caved in today but just used a Home Bargains cheapy test in my lunch hour. BFN. I caved because I had a slight bleed yesterday mid morning that I thought was start of AF but I've had nothing since so had kind of convinced myself it was an implantation bleed (which although only 30% of women get, I managed to have a mc that only 25% have so why not?). It was a pinky red bleed that came away when I was giving myself a little 'sweep with toilet roll in my finger' - TMI but if I can't say it here where can ?! Anyway, I'm still waiting for AF and even though I have absolutely no pg symptoms, my usual AF symptoms aren't really happening either. I'm due tomorrow if 'normal' cycle is back but could be up to 4 days later going by last few months cycles.

MrsHP and Bear we may be the 4 musketeers next month

Evening ladies ...... AF was due 13th I didn't have any stocks at home so lunchtime today ran to Boots ...... Back in the works loo (which is a cubicle near the office) I am trying to silently open the box so I can poas and ........AF beat me to it bitch crept up on me with none of the usual signs :( so had a little cry and a big hug from DH when we got home - fx for those still on the 2ww xx

DH cooking so I'm in a hot bath with a strong drink

Will see the bitch off for another month and try again

Big hugs to you all x

everything was good at the scan. its a boy!

I am having scans every three weeks now to check growth so that is good.

I treated myself to a couple of pregnancy magazines so I am chilling out with those!
