We will try anything! The big fat posifrickintivity thread of TTC after MC

wow saggy good effort. Actually, AMAZING effort.

sundance i'm sorry you're feeling crap. I went through the same last week (mc in feb, extra erpc in march)..... This week i'm less upset but feeling like giving up instead. I ordered a bbt thermometer last week and it has just arrived with a whole bunch of ov sticks too. But I could hardly even be bothered to open the packet: I just don't know if I feel like trying.
I'm sure this is a passing phase and by the end of the week I'll be back to manic "we must have sex NOW because i'm ovulating" mode.

missmakes I like the Not Trying approach. Seems sensible. I really hope your DH gets a new job pronto.

guff i've got fingers and toes crossed for you!!!!!! Try and hold out until the day after AF due Friday. I was pretty pissed off when AF started the day after I POASed. Feeling a bit sick is a good sign.

Sundance its crap when people say things like that! I go for the shaming them into submission approach. "No. I'm still devestated from the miscarriage" or something equally blunt. I like to embarrass or shock them. Maybe they will think twice next time!
My mum caught it a while back. She keeps on about the menopause and how she hopes I won't be one of those women for whom it is the end of the world! I lost the plot and told her "no, but I'm only 38 and trying to have a baby so PLEASE just shut the hell up"!
I'm not the type of person to keep quiet and suck it up,and the direct approach definitely works! There is nothing more satisfying than seeing someone mortified!

Really really keeping everything crossed for you then Guff - hopefully the next few days will fly by with no show from the old witch, though I don't think I could wait out until Friday to POAS if it were me. You're so patient! :)

So moving onwards and upwards....has anyone had any experience with the thermometer thingummybob? Think that may have to be my next port of call...project deperate is well and truly on the cards.

My DH has just taken accupuncture for an old knee injury and had some great success with it, has anyone tried it for fertility issues yet? Where do they put the needles??

Thanks for understanding - I knew you would.

Doesn't help when people come out with comments like "are you pregnant again yet?" - quite possibly the most awkward question to answer.

Keeping fingers crossed for you Guff - are you going to POAS today?

And Penguin and Sal, fear not, I'm also heading up the number of northerners on here! :)

Me either Sun! I keep working out how many weeks PG I would have been and getting depressed. It will be awful if my due date arrives and Im still not PG.

Morning all.
Seems we've had a mixed bag of results over the last few days, congrats to rockchick- it really does help when we get a bfp on here, think it gives the rest of us some hope that it could be us next time!

Welcome but 'sorry you are here' to newbies.

Feeling really low today, after crying most of the night in a pathetic sort of mini-breakdown that I'm getting pains ahead of af which is due Friday! I guess it's not going to be my turn this time around, which st least means I can drink on my hollibobs but still makes me really sad. Had my mc in march and didn't think it would take this long to be pg again!! Grrrr.

Can I nominate myself for a medal?
Ive just done 4 12 hour market days have a bad back, am exhausted and have still managed to DTD 3 times! I think that's pretty dedicated!

Now, if I can just work out a way to end up NOT sleeping on the squishy patch, I'd be totally content!

Pah!! I did have a temp of over 102 degrees though, so hardly surprising but very bloody annoying....

Hi all, been lurking a bit but due to DHs job situation (or no job as the case may be) we are Not Trying this month. Or at least we are continuing to DTD as usual but are telling ourselves we are Not Trying.
Had loads of EWC today but negative OPK so not sure whats going on, due to ovulate tuesday/wednesday. Not sure if we will avoid DTD for a few days or not.

So sorry to hear the sad news from Rainbow and Over, life is truly shitty. Hope you are both feeling well and taking care of yourselves.

I keep thinking I am fine but then get a bit drunk and get tearful. Situation is shit cause I desperately want to keep TTC but the work situation and worry over money is a problem. Have seen no less than 2 pregnant women in the last weekend and two newborns, plus a load on FB. Also seen people we hadn't seen in ages who are asking if we are having another etc etc. In my head I am going 'aargh' and outwardly it's well, yes, hopefully, blah, blah...

Hope everyone else is well. I am off to drink Prosecco too. In the bath, with DH. Still Not Trying though..!

Rainbow That is really sad news. Once is bad enough.........

I think I'll need to order in a job lot of preg tests!

Oh Rainbow that is really shit! Sending you lots of {{ hugs}}

Oh and kata I hope your dh is up to the job poor thing. Although maybe he should nick a syringe from the hospital just in case

sal pooh!!!!! Pooh to evil af. I'd had such high hopes for project syringe

Oh no rainbow . What awful news. Big hugs.

Don't worry guys we're not all practically neighbours- I don't even live in London just happened to be there last night.

Welcome newbies. As has already been said, no need to wait for first af, although waiting for bfn is important. I also had retained products and needed an extra erpc and it was the continued bfp that tipped me off.

Thunder the dress I'm making is this one

Dress length but short sleeves (not enough fabric!)

Like the sound of half-frozen wine. Haha. Needs must indeed.

Hi all. Would like to come back to your thread please. MC earlier in the week. Couple of days of feeling like the world was falling apart but today feel a rationale-defying compelling need to be pregnant again.

May have to convince my DH that we don't need a break before TTC as this pregnancy was right after first MC 7 wks ago.

2be I'm prob not very inspiring on the TTC straight away front but I've been assured that MC1 did not contribute to 2nd MC.

over really sorry about your news, sounds like a very rough time.

Prosecco sounds great. I'm drinking semi-defrosted wine that was accidentally left chilling in freezer too long. Nice! Needs must.

Sorry - sal reminded me.

I think if I treat fri as day one then might be up to dtd at least once in the important range. And then try properly after AF.

I hope you get BFPs soon. Fingers crossed!

Oooooh prosecco!!! Just remembered we have some in the cupboard. Feels wrong as its normally a celebrating drink but sod it! Better get it chilling!!!

Oh poo sal, that evil witch

I'm a northerner too rock, you're not alone!

Welcome 2be, I've been asking a similar question. The general consensus seems to be that you don't have to wait for any medical reason. But I would make sure you are getting a negative on a pregnancy test first or you will drive yourself mad, not knowing if a positive one is a new pregnancy or just the leftover hormones from the last one!

I managed a visit from a friend with a 3 month old baby yesterday without any jealousy. He was super cute but sicked up a lot, which helped

PS. Kat this this the PERFECT excuse to suggest the syringe......

The old f*cking witch made an appearance today here. Had friends over for Sunday lunch which has distracted me, but the old 'I'm never going to be a mum/I'm barren/I've obviously pissed karma off' thoughts are never far from my mind today.

Cold roasties and copious amounts of cheese plus polishing off the prosecco is now on the cards for supper (we never have supper but I thought it sounded posh).

Welcomed to newbies, hopefully your stay will be short and sweet! Xx

Hi everyone, would also like to join you, in serious need of a dose of some posifrickintivity!

Bit of background, ttc no1, fell after 2 months last June but ended in mmc, bit of a nightmare, needed erpc 3 times in the 7 weeks afterwards (retained tissue). We had a break afterwards but now on our 6th cycle of trying again - no luck so far despite being at it like rabbits. Great to find this thread - came on to get some tips really, just started preseeding so shall see how that goes and going to check out DHEA.

Hello and lots of positive thought waves to all X
