Home on the amazing and determined TTC after mc-ers. We know all about the ups and downs, trails and tribulations,, how it feels to live in the cruel world of Facebook baby bombs. Solidarity, sisters!

sal I'm following Boosh - www.boosh.com or co.uk - it's like the Cambridge diet but loads tastier and way more options. I lost a stone in two weeks and haven't put it back on yet. Worth a shot?

None at all! I did the fast diet (5:2) last year and lost about that to get into my wedding dress and I'm not fessing up how quickly I put it back on again but it's worth shopping around to find what works for you...

I was lucky when I was weighed/measured that the nurse couldn't work the machine out and it calculated my bmi to be 21! You've never seen anyone put their shoes on so quickly before so they wouldn't want to try again.

Still, good to be on the road, eh? Keep us posted x

NEW THREAD ALERT!!! Here we go Ladybugs, before we run out!!

NEW THREAD HERE

Nice (and shit) to see some of the old gang still lurking!

So we're defo going to have ICSI as the 4 MCs could be ugly sperm related and there isn't a massive wait either.....except for MY weight! I have to lose 1st 5lbs before treatment begins and I have 3 months or we have to start referrals again. No pressure for this fat little fucker then!!?!

Sal good luck today chick! Still here, mostly lurking and fretting...
Let us know how you get on x

Welcome newbies, sorry you found yourself on this thread, ladies here are amazing and their advice is invaluable.

Monten I hope you postivity in the future xx

Bfn again today , I don't think July is my month.

Welc

Oh zebra I feel for you I really do. All I can say is that I guess some cramping is normal as is the extra mucus.

7 BFP's us going in the right direction so praying for you

I know the feeling - I'm on 2ww now and I am terrified of getting a BFP and the same thing happening again.

Massive hugs and lots of love xxx

Also bloated and feeling that base of throat/ dry mouth dizzy sick feeling. And also very thirsty. So trying to see those as good signs.

Morning all. Sorry been a bit quiet - was DP's birthday yesterday and we've been celebrating all weekend with family and friends. So been out having fun which is good.

Only problem is the performance issues again. My clear blue ovulation sticks showed me as peak fertility on Friday and Saturday. We DTD on Thursday night and Saturday morning. But Saturday. We really struggled and DP just couldn't climax. I admit I was getting quite stressed. Eventually he managed to on attempt 3. And I think he got quite upset about it and even said the words " I'm not a machine - the pressure is getting to me"

How bad did I feel!!! We also DTD yesterday and he couldn't do it either but I didn't say anything.

I hate that DP feels like this. Hopefully we've done enough to get a BFP this month but if we haven't - then this is going to stress us both out. I know that I am obsessed by it, and I hate that I am, but I know everything comes down on DP - if he can't come then we have a problem....

boozle I cannot believe your friend did that you. How insensitive.

monten and smiling and everyone else ( sorry have had loads to catch up on) massive hugs to you all.

Rainbow so sorry to see you here, but pull up a pew, make yourself comfy. These ladies are truly fantastic and a huge support. Hopefully you won't be here for long

Oh I'm so scared. More cramping this morning and feel like there's loads of mucus - sorry tmi. But also another BFP. That's seven in total. Not really any darker but it's so early anyway. AF due Thursday. I'm so scared of it happening again. I can't face the disappointment and I haven't told anyone in real life. Please please please.

Hi dulcet im so sorry youve had to join us but glad you decided to say hello, this is a safe place to talk to lovely ladies that understand how your feeling.

I've been reading this thread the past few days thinking I might jump on once the next version starts (as you are so close to 1000) but I'm home alone today and that's always a risk so I thought I might show my virtual face on here a bit early.

MMC confirmed last Thursday. Booked in for ERPC yesterday but begun to pass naturally on Friday in a horror movie style manner at around 2am. Scan yesterday confirmed the majority has already gone so no ERPC. Still bleeding and waiting for it to stop but no real idea how long that will take.

This was our first child conceived after nearly two years TTC. We were under care of fertility clinic but got the BFP before any treatment begun. We are now able to resume at the clinic and have appointment booked for next Tuesday. Not really telling people that bit in case they judge me for doing it so soon but, as I am sure a number of you understand, I am pretty desperate to get pregnant again. It's been stressful enough this far - now I want answers!

Hopefully you can make a little space for me here - sorry that any of us end up here but hopefully there will be a happy ending for us soon!

Good luck sal Let us know hiw you get on.

You have reminded me I should phone the fertility clinic and tell them I don't need an apt. Bit scared too in case it jinxes anything -ridiculous really! On the other hand I would rathet somone who needs it gets an apt

Hi rainbow sorry youve had to join us but this is a great thread full of lovely brave ladies.

Good luck today daisy

I have no idea what I was dreaming about last night but woke up convinced im pregnant of course its way to early to tell so its purely my subconscious playing tricks but its left me feeling really positive.

I hate how much my emotions change on a daily basis, ive always been a fairly laid back person but now I never know how im going to feel when I wake up in the morning, im either sad or happy theres no inbetween at the moment. And I go from feeling happy to crying within seconds.

I was thinking about the comments people make, you know the "it gets easier" or "give it time" type comments. I can't see it ever getting easier I just think im learning to hide it better and each day its easier to hide the pain but the pain isnt any less.

Good luck Sal! Hope you get some answers and a plan of action in place. Let us know how you get on.

Hugs to you Monten. I generally dread July, my DH mum past away 10 days before her birthday in July, so it's always a little tinged with sadness. It must be so hard.

Welcome Rainbow. Hope you're not with us too long, but make yourself at home. The ladies here are amazing

Daisy I'm keeping everything crossed for you today - remember to take lots of deep breathes and that it's more likely to be good news then anything else. Let us know how you get on and you are a super brave and lovely lady.

Monten that really sucks, here's to making happy July memories with a BFP and an exciting future. Bless you though, it's so hard.

Sal super good luck for today! Let us know how you get on.

Have a tip top day everyone!

Welcome rainbow (love the name). Sorry for your loss. You're welcome to hang out here, this bunch of ladies have helped me no end - laughs and love despite our heartaches over losing our littlies x

Hi all,

I just had a good read through your thread and would like to perch here for a while. Another thread I never thought I'd be on - first, it was the Antenatal group thread (unexpected pregnancy), then it was the Miscarriage boards (MMC around 5 weeks, confirmed around 8 weeks), now it's the TTC boards (opted for natural management, bleeding finally stopped after 6 weeks). But the more I read on MN, the less alone I feel.

We haven't actually decided to TTC, given that it was accidental and not in the plan, but now I've been through this, of course I really want it, I want to be a mum. OH isn't against it, but would rather wait, however he also isn't too bothered about contraception, which puts me in a weird position...

I look forward to getting to know you all

Good luck today sal x

Hugs monten. It's crap when you have memories of a certain month. July is a mixed bag for me - in 2011, July 2 we went to hamburg for the boxing and got upduffed; July 20 2012, my horse died shortly followed by my friend committing suicide. Nothing of note last July but this July we are hoping to move house. Oh and maybe get a BFP?

Morning ladybugs!

Have my first appointment at the fertility clinic today! I feel sick with nerves!! It's in the same place as the recurrent miscarriage unit but a different consultant. Here's hoping they don't say anything horrible !!!

Hello to all the originals, any of you lovely lot still here? Xxx

Really hope it goes well for you today daisy will be thinking of you.

It's July. My dad died on the 3rd July and my first baby was due on the 25th. When I first got my due date I was so happy that July would be known again for a good thing. This month is going to suck.

Morning ladies,

Boozle I'm so shocked at your friends complete lack of empathy although not entirely surprised. People who haven't been through it just don't get it. They'll try the right words but it just doesn't click. Because outwardly you look fine they forget that inside you desperately trying to keep afloat. I'd have a word with her though if I were you.

Oneday - in a week post erpc tomorrow and have already poas! Stupid I know. I just want my hcg back to zero so I can TTC again. I'm paranoid I might potentially miss the egg this cycle. When in reality I know it's very likely I won't even ovulate! Take as long as you need off, do what feels right for you. I personally have to be busy, so I was back at work the day after!! Yes I'm mad! But I felt fine and if I is sat at home id have been a crying mess.
Downside is that in my job I do pregnancy massage. Hadn't thought to ask bosses not to book any in (don't want all the staff knowing), and had a client yesterday who was very heavily pregnant with twins!! Made me sad but I had to keep telling mysel 'I don't know her story'. It kind of helps.

Hope July brings more BFPs, normal cycles and settling hormones. Big hugs ladies, you're all amazing and strong.

Just worked out dates if we get upduffed this month..... Baby would be due within three days of dd. Not sure I'd like that! Lol. Still, better than a Christmas baby - I have my birthday on dec 28 and I'd never put anyone through the crappyness of having a birthday at that time of year!!

Morning all

Oneday - how are you feeling today? Please take more time if you need it - a week is nothing! Any reason as gp would sign you off for longer. Your feelings chimed with me though - i could cope after my mcs so long as I didn't have any pressure put on me. Any pressure and I just disintegrated.

Zebra - wow, fx for you.

Belt - when I was first one these boards it was called the wtf cycle, with good reason I think

Boozle - I am Stunned, that is awful! How can people even think of asking you to do that! Sadly it seems that some people, even those who are supposedly close to us, and should know better DONT FUCKING GET IT

Smiling you sound fab with your charges and so sorry you're having those frustrations, it's all consuming isn't it?

Thank you for the scan good wishes. Convinced there's nothing there and am a complete fraud. Although an emotional wreck - I teared up yesterday when I realised Mark Cavendish was going to have to cycle over the Buttertubs Pass (cycling fan but even so )

But I totally agree with whoever was talking about the power of these boards - i am currently tucked up in the spare bed of a lass who I met on the same group over 3 years ago. She's been through hell herself but now has 2 little ones and is coming with me for hand holding today. The flip side of all the sadness is that I've made some really great friends.
