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

Woohoo chocolate and blackholes!! That's fab fertile Friday!!

Fab news choc and blackholes!

fod - fx for your brother tomorrow. I totally get the "why is this happening to me" feeling. Hope the lump is just a random cyst, but better to get it checked for certain.

Congratulations blackholes - a line is a line no matter how faint as I've been told. It must be true as my super faint line is now a slightly stronger line on the FR test and "pg 1-2 weeks " on the CBDigi - finally!
Feel relieved and shit scared at the same time - cue even more knicker watching and symptom spotting..

Liesl - here's hoping you have a shy bean and you get yours on Sunday (just don't tell Thunder)

Congrats blackholes!

Bfn for me :-(
Let's see if af comes on Sunday. If not could just be a wtf cycle but I'll test again if no sign.

Fx for you Chocolate

Gosh fod- that's tough I hope upon hope that your lump is nothing nasty. You poor thing.

Martha- oh yes! Seen them a few times. Best was when at wembley we managed to get wristbands to go in the backstage area- I could've thrown a stone at matt Bellamy (not that I'd want to!) plus we were out of the moshpit (which I haven't been in since I was about 18, so don't blame you for standing back!)

In other news....... I have a faint line on a FR today! Trying not to get hopes up as a) might not be a BFP and b) if it is... Eek. Last two of these ended in blood and tears.

Anyway I have my fingers tightly crossed for more. Will keep checking in xx

Hi guys, thanks for the supportive comments... I was soooo frustrated earlier, I've always tried to be a good person and would give anyone the shirt off my back breasts flirted about so I find it really hard to take in or understand why this ia happening to me,

My brother has just finished his chemo and is due for a MRI tomorrow at Birmingham hospital so we should know more then...fx. Part of me thinks sod it and focus on baby making but then the other side of me thinks that's selfish if there is something's wrong with me etc

On the upside tho I've just done a ov calculation online and I have another four possible days of ovulating left

Evening all.

I popped into Boots on way home tonight to stock up on sticks. Teenage girl walked past while I was perusing the choices(FR or CBDigi) picked one and toddled off, then thought fuck it I'll get both. Go back to the aisle and girl is there looking at the tests. I make a stupid comment about how there are too many to decide on and she said "I think you are wanting a different result than me". Turns out that she's 3 days late and terrified she's pg. felt vv for her, told her not to bother with the expensive ones if she is already late as they are for mad women like me who are testing super early. Really hope she gets the right result for her.

Just jumping on to say see you all in a week, we are off to the Lake District this weekend to see the ILs then off to Center Parcs for a few days. So i shall be off line - but will check in for some BFPs tomorrow hopefully

blackholes have you seen them live? me and DH saw them at Glastonbury in 2004, DH was right at the front, i was a wuss and went to the back!

fod holding your hand, and old friend on the other MC board coined the phrase for me 'Cancer is a Cunt'. I am certain that you just have a cyst, but i am sorry that the C has hit you with a shitty stick. It took my best friend from me and i will never forgive it. But yes, i really do think what you have sounds like some kind of nasty water retention/cystic kind of thing. Perfectly natural for you to be freaking out (in the style of King Julian from Madagascar!)

Big love to you all, i see you all polished off the chocolate buttons

Hello lovelies!!

Hello to the newbies - so sorry you are hear - so sad that some many people find themselves in this situation but there is lots of support on this thread xx

Fod - sorry to hear about your lump - I'm keeping everything crossed for you Hun. How is your brother doing at the mo? I completely know what you mean about the doctors - I am planning to see the doctor at the end of May (unless i get a BFP) and have to make sure I get the right Dr - I find the younger ones more open to listening to my worries and fears.

Saggy - sorry you are having a bad day - they can come out of no-where can't they. I too think my cycles are messed up since the miscarriage - my LP is shorter now which is concerning me - big hugs for you lovely x

I have a busy weekend coming up as its DS 4th birthday - we are off to London tomorrow and party at the weekend - he is SO excited!! Xx

Hi thunder how are you doing?

We're not not TTC IYSWIM? I don't think I ovulated after the MC and from the scan today doesn't look like this will be a normal cycle either though it could just be a longer one. Not preventing anyway, if I did happen to get pregnant before the tests are complete then I'll get precautionary aspirin, high dose folic acid and extra TLC. I'm relieved about the scan as I did have a nagging worry that the surgery I had after DS2 might have caused damage, or that my ovaries would be sad shrivelled little raisins with no eggs left, neither of which appear to be the case. She said not to worry about the slight increase in TSH, her cut off is 3.5 for pregnancy.

How long until you get your TSH result back?

On a happier note, I am now oficially an employee rather than self employed, so WHEN I get PG again I will be eligible for SMP and SSP if i need time off due to PG related issues.

for saggy too. Hope venting and getting it out of your system has helped. Lots of pressure and hormones at the moment- don't forget that! And give yourself a bit of a break if you can. Or kick the teens so they do!

Hi everyone.

Have actually got a bit of time to write a real message for once!

fod what shitty news- you poor thing. I really hope you get some good results from this.

hi mini and well done for getting through such a hard time. Onwards and upwards now. Look after yourself.

tins great news about the scan today- that must be a relief?! Although I imagine you want to come out of this with some answers about the mcs in terms of there being something that can be done about it? It's really good that things are moving along and you can tuck them off the list as you go. Are you ttc as well at the mo?

marthas lucky you having a DH who looks forward to the shagging! I think mine just feels the ttc pressure too much sometimes and I understand that. especially when I'm a hysterical cow

weasel that's good they didn't find any big problems. Like tins says I'm surprised they're so on the case? I just got sent home and told to ring up if I was still bleeding after 3 weeks. It's good that you're getting support though.

Hi rock, and welcome.

blackholes arse. (the announcements). But fx for poas tomorrow.

I am having a BAD day today.
Its the first one for ages. Everything was so lovely round here when we were PG, teens were thoughtful, DP was supportive and I was just so happy. Everyone was motivated to get the house tidied and sorted out, and we weer all full of plans.
Everything is back to normal now.
Add to this that I dont appear to be working properly, if Im ovulating, its late, and my LP was short last month. DTD has totally lost its appeal, I appear to have lost my erm... orgasm... and DP is lukewarm about DTD at best!
So today, he had taken the afternoon off, for sexual purposes and instead I spent the afternoon blubbering on his chest!
But, on the posifrickintive side, I have vented, DP knows that I am struggling, and he can help me get it together and m going to look into Agnus Castus, and B6 if LP is short this month.

Sorry to hear that fod it must be the last thing you need right now. Hope it turns out to be something innocuous. I think your past life theory is pants though. Crap stuff happens to lovely people all the time, otherwise none of us would be on the thread. It's very unfair that yet more is being heaped on your plate though. I hope you get reassuring results quickly.

Hi newbies....so sorry you find yourselves here.... MC sucks!!! It's horrid and no one has a clue what we are going through ;(

I'm still testing....still no ovulation! Went to the drs and he just said well you've only been testing since mid march so wait and see...( so good to see tax payers money being so well spent!)

On another upbeat note I found a lump in my thigh so I've got to go for blood tests as my brother currently has myeloma cancer, mother had breast cancer and my estranged father (using the term loosely) died of bowel cancer..... Wow I must have been a complete bitch in a previous life! Cancer should be a form of natural selection and only develop in rapists, murderers and peadophiles!!!

Sorry rant over just so fucked off at life!

Hello! Just wanted to pop back to say thank you for all your lovely welcome messages. alyant it really is horrible to get all the way to 12 weeks to be told bad news - very cruel. Although horrible to hear you've experienced it to, it helps to hear that others have survived it IYKWIM.

Last 24hours were grim beyond description, but think I'm over the worst of it now. Thinking about ttc as soon as poss is getting me through at the moment.

Absolutely love the POAS rules on this thread! Good luck to everyone POAS tomorrow, keeping my fingers crossed for you all! X

baking- good working order sounds posifrickingtive xxx

Aw thanks Martha! me too! They're awesome live

Best not pass me round those buttons... If you want any left, that is!!

Cadbury's buttons - yum! thinks about raiding the kids' Easter egg stash
Good luck to anyone POAS tomorrow, hope we have the same successes as last week.
I've been to see consultant for a scan today and happy to report all bits in good working order. She thinks I either won't ovulate this cycle or it will be a long one as follicles not v big for dates, but not a surprise if it's a WTF, only 2nd cycle and don't have ov signs yet on day 14.
More bloods..... and a wait until June to get all results.

Oh FFS on your behalf blackholes - loving your name BTW - i sing the song in my head whenever i see you i looooove Muse

Nothing new here today, told DH i POAS last night and he looked like this as it was a few days too early. i am convinced i am not PG this month as we only DTD twice (busy month!). Anyway i promised him lots of shagging this month so that cheered him up!

I got some cadburys buttons on offer in Waitrose help yourself!

Good luck to all the POAS tomorrow - i shall check in for updates

Rockchick- hugs and . make sure you take as much time out/off work as you need xxx

I'm testing tomorrow still- though don't feel pg, and now have beginnings of AF cramps.

martha loving the positivity, and v sorry to hear about your very sad late loss and subsequent useless work colleagues!

rock sorry to see you here, but welcome.

weasel I agree with baking, 260 only a week after mc doesn't sound very high. Very sorry that you are being put through all this confusion, and hopefully everything will hav sorted itself out by monday.

Nothing new here except that we should be having sex-fest over the next few days: ov due tuesday according to phone app (but i think it'll be a bit earlier than that) and hubby has just announced that he's super busy at work and might be too tired. he'd better perform or else

Hi rock, nice to see you and some others from the miscarriage board. Seems a nicer place to be

Morning and welcome to all future bpf buddies.

Nowt doing here really just thought I'd pop in and say hi. Something's going on with my hormones so obviously a surprise pregnancy probably either stress or thyroid related.

Who's poas tomorrow?
