TTC after MC - nice people in crap times, full of posifrickingtivity

Mummy - I am impressed - I have chickened out on DS's cake so far and outsourced the making both times (lots of peopl seem to be setting up as cake makers/decorators round near me)
But I have been looking at the Lakeland cake pop maker and thinking that it surely can't be that hard.... I have til November and could have a big bubble cake perfected by then..... (look out for barely used cake pop make on eBay)

Spanish - wow congratulations

Fod - great news (but hope you are too busy with your sex festival to read this any time soon)

Hope you guys don't mind if I stick around on here a while longer? I have popped a toe in on our graduates thread, but still feel that posting much on there is tempting fate. Will keep quiet at the back though.

Spanish - amazing news!!!!
Fod - congrats on the positive opk!!

Sorry for the short post - taking a break from making DS birthday cake - every year I stress myself out with it - this years creation - an angry bird cake and I am no Mary Berry so goodness knows how its going to turn out!! Xx

Bakingtins i know just how crappy it is to go through the due date, last november I cried the whole weekend, and going back to work on the Monday was terrible, I basically stayed in a foul mood all week.
I'm thinking of you and thank you for introducing me to this thread xxx

Congratulations to you with BFP - well done! Gives me hope!

I'm new to this thread, invited over by Bakingtins.

I have had 2 mmc in the last year, one at 20 weeks and one just recently at 9 weeks. Its now been just over 7 weeks since the ERPC and I'm waiting for AF to arrive..... very frustrated as want to start ttc. We were going to ttc after the ERPC but after a couple of weeks I just became too stressed and so decided to wait - however now Im REALLY stressed as AF not here. I know i'm not pg too as did a test.

I have really found reading this thread helpful - everyone saying stuff I have been feeling - it's really hard what we're going through and so many people just cant understand what we're going through - but hoping its just a matter of time until we all get what we want.

I have one DD who is three, so I know I can do it - unless she was just a fluke!

Like some of you many of my friends were all pregnant when I was last year and now have 5 month old babies - that was very hard when they were all being born. Now my neighbour has just said she is expecting and the EDD is the same as my last pg - 18th September - I'm happy for her, but it's hard to not think - why can't it be me!

So i've had a rubbish few days, as my patience not that i ever had any has gone! So i'm going to be put lots of effort into being amazingly positive and hope that we can all leave these thread soon!

Anyone out there had to wait over 7 weeks for AF to arrive after ERPC? xx

Oh gosh baking- it must be awful to be hitting your due date xx

Spanish double congratulations!

Fod good news - make the most of it

Lucky I hope this time you live up to your name and are not coming back. FX.

Everyone else step away from the antenatal threads they will only make you bitter.

Thanks to whoever was asking about my scan (can't look back sorry) I'm pleased that was all ok as was worried they'd either find some horrendous scarring from post-partum surgery after DS2 or that my ovaries had shrivelled to the size of raisins. Think she was right about me not ovulating this month though - seem to have missed out ov signs completely, unless it's going to be a really long cycle. Sigh. I just hope they find something that gives us a reason why this has happened and preferably they can do something about. Will be a bit gutted to go through all the tests and end up "unexplained" though I know that's quite a likely outcome.

I had a crappy day at work today and spent most of it thinking "I should be on maternity leave anyway, I should be having a baby tomorrow (both mine appeared on their due dates)" it's really hard not to torture yourself.

fod- fab news! Hope you're frickin' babymaking at the moment!!

My thoughts exactly yoni ;) was beginning to think they were broken, on holiday, or just resigned all together

Yay! For Fods ovaries!

Spanish that's fabulous news!!!!! So so pleased to see that your making good progress.....you really deserve some good news!

I'm back full of posifrickintivity! Just been to the travel agents to discuss our wedding abroad! Getting all excited, popped into mother in laws after purchasing some more ov kits and guess what?...., I'm frickin ovulating!

So all you ladies that are panicking it took 7 weeks but it's happened! Hope it brings some faith your way

I really hope so.

Thanks saggy - you are going to make a great mum to another lucky lo

Spanish IMO you shouldn't feel uncomfortable. You've been in our shoes. I bet you've wept more than a few years at other people's baby announcements. It's your turn now. Try and enjoy every minute. Our turns will come. Twins is amazing, DP is a non identical twin, he and BIL share that strange twin link, it's really sweet.

Lovely news Spanish

Thanks and appreciate your goodwill at a time that is so difficult for many here - it's been horrible telling some people (eg friend who has gone just through 2nd round of IVF ) .

We don't think they are identical but will find out more next week when we have the nhs scan.....the one the other night was private as had abit of meltdown when booking in MW kept trying to convince me I hadn't miscarried she seemed to prefer that explanation to my getting preg soon after as she thought my dates were odd - I left quite upset so my dear mum decided enough was enough and booked me a scan - knowing what is going on and seeing heart beats has really relaxed me - I knw it can still go wrong but you can't keep up the anxiety forever I was getting horrible migraines and was really lethargic now feel much better.

Saggy I absolutely understand As i feel uncomfortable with it somehow - I appreciate your honesty cos I'd feel exactly the same way if the shoe was on the other foot. I've banned dh from mentioning a word on bloody FB. I know I caused grief to a friend at work not intentionally of course but she's had some struggles and we comforted each other after our respective loses- feel abit of a traitor to the cause though rationally we both want to move on but you know, after telling the team she disappeared and I could tell she'd been crying when she got back - I just hope I'm being sensitive. ANYWAY we have BFPs to get ladies I know it!

Oh bit late to the party on this thread. Mum was visiting and DP was working overtime all over derive week this month, so unless we got lucky a few days earlier than FF predicted, il be here a while yet. Lucky13, in the nicest way possible I hope to never see you again unless your updating us on your healthy pregnancy! Xx

Hi all. Am really worried that I may have to return to this thread. Had some spotting last night :( as nice as you all are I really don't want to come back a 3rd time within 9months :(

Hey ladies. Yes, I'm still here hovering in the background!

Thunder - lovely - im sorry you feeling crap but you really are making progress. Getting those levels down is most important right now do next pregnancy is lovely and sticky and healthy. Hope you are okay.

Spanish, wow twins! That's so exciting! So pleased for you.

Sorry and hello to the new ladies who have joined. I hope you get as much out of this thread as I have, has really helped me through some tough times. :)

Wow Spanish! Twins! That's awesome news!

Everyone on my May thread are getting ready to start maternity leave

Oh CRIKEY Spanish! That is brilliant! I am so pleased for you!
and secretly fighting down the bitter envy that we were on the September thread together and you are already 10 weeks!

Wow twins spanish!! Congratulations! Are they identical?
