The hot new TTC after MC thread - all welcome, bring a fish and all the posifrickentivity you can muster! Prepare to overshare.

Yay handsfull!! Keep cool and calm, make sure your gp knows and then day each day at a time - today you are pregnant!! Whoooooop! Xx

Ooh err indeed handsful! Woohoo, BFP Friday again! I hope it's a good sticky one for you this time!

Well, I have had a fun evening. My sister, who lives abroad, is visiting with niece and nephew (6 & 10), staying with my parents for my Dad's 70th.

Went round tonight for dinner firstly to find out that my Dad has invited SIL, BIL & niece to his 'party' on Sunday. All the other guests are aunts, uncles etc. from my side of the family, and none know about the MC. SIL has 'my' 5 mth bump, and no doubt all my family will be cooing over it and asking when she's due etc. I am not sure what to do, it's going to be bloody torture. Anyone got any coping strategies? (And don't say get drunk cos that makes me even more weepy!)

THEN during dinner, we were talking about doing up the utility room and nephew (who obviously knows nothing about the MC or pg) chimes in "is it for your baby?" . My mum then says "what baby?" (while I am silently frozen thinking the exact same thing but in a much glummer way).
I had to leave the room, crying in front of kids is not a good idea!

Anyway, my family have generally been great and I am not complaining, just feeling a bit woe is me. Chin up, tits out, on with the toad in the hole with lashings of gravy. :::sob:::

Congrats handsfull so we do have a bfp this Friday after all.

Thanks parsley and otters. Yes I will definitely ask my lining to be checked as part of hycosy. seaside you should definitely ask for one. It's good to at least clear up any doubts and as the girls say, in fact may even improve bfp chances. The consultant did tell me that if there are minor blockages, the hycosy actually clears those up.

Mini whoop whoop!

Get down the quacks on Moanday! Xx

Congratulations hands. Wishing you a lovely calm, uneventful pregnancy.

Got some serious ov pain maybe wind this evening. Tbh, all my ov signs seem to be more intense this month. Weird. And ouchy.

Congratulations, Hands, may your pregnancy be dull and uneventful.

Eeeeeeek! Oh, handsful let's hope the brown spotting is a good sign! Congratulations!

deus, sorry about your shitty WTF cycle. It's crap isn't it? Hopefully AF will be just around the corner though.

Congratulations Handsful!!

Don't panic, think calm thoughts, the posifrickinity girls are right here with you

Ooh er. BFP. Faint, but a definite line. Ooh er. I'm all wibbly. Just in time to not ring the gp and panic at them. As I said, ooh er. Have a lovely Friday night everybody. I'm going to be rocking silently in a corner somewhere.

PMSL at the extra gravy!! (Whilst bum is on pillow after TITH)

Handsful I didn't think that what is in effect a Chrmical pregnancy would count but it does apparantly, as long as you tell your GP. I exaggerated a few days and pushed mine out to 5 weeks when talking to the RMC consultant and I even said "it probably doesn't count does it?" And she said yes it does! Straight from the horses mouth!!

short AFs, I mean.

Sorry for the pessimistic post earlier, would just hate for anyone to miss out on treatment they need and are entitled to.
Short AF ladies, mine is, too. I was scanned to see if ashermans (I advise you to stay away from Dr Google... that was not a happy morning!) Ask for a mid cycle scan and maybe they will do a hysteroscopy if they want a closer look. St Marys did that for me and it wasn't scar tissue, it was a septum! Prof Regan wasn't worried about short cycles going forward, but I do go for acupuncture and I think its helping... maybe!

Ditto what fedup says handsful. There's a recurrent MC thread on the pregnancy loss board, one of the lovely ladies on there might be able to confirm what should happen and arm you with some q's to ask - NOT that you're going to need them.

And the doc at EPU told me next time if get bfp to phone the immediately... So I think that's her way of telling me to get in there!!! And then she would scan me at six weeks if I got that far...

I think so. I would phone up EPU and that way they have you on the system or also call doctor and say you had bfp and worried re bleeding. BUT am sure that won't happen but that's what I would do to get it 'on the record'

20 dpo is pretty late.....

Sorry Handsful I'm really not sure. One of the others might know though...

But I've everything crossed for you that this has a happy outcome

(I'm only 20 days past ovulation)

So a question. If I did get a bfp today and then start bleeding properly, would that be counted by the NHS as a loss? I'd then reach the magic 3 required for investigations.

Sorry for the BFN's today, fx it's just a bit too early to pick up.

I've only just started the 2ww so my sticks will have to reside in the cupboard for a while . I'm not optimistic as we didn't optimise on the whole shagathon week!.

Re: smears...it's actually pretty safe to have one when pregnant, though it depends on whether the nurse/doctor wants to have a try, they should ask you before you have one and they might refuse to do it.

just how sensible you are. I hadn't thought of that. How bloody depressing. In other news, I have some brown spotting. I had that with the two good pregnancies but with neither of the lost ones. Eek.

All this talk of sausages is making me hungry. I wonder how many of us will actually cook TITH next week? It would make clan Handsfull rejoice!
