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!

Oh and the "well it wasn't meant to be this time"

Thanks for that.

monten I agree, next thread might be "if you've got a baby bomb, unhelpful comments or anything else remotely insensitive then JTFO, keep moving, nothing to see here"

To add to the JTFO list:

People who say 'you've got plenty of time, you're still young' or like brummie said 'well at least you know you can get pregnant'

My pregnancy apps that despite me deleting an dun subscribing from, still manage to send me a daily update of the new developments of my baby and which piece of fruit it's similar in size to

The 'at least you know you can get pregnant' line is a real shocker. I've had it in variations from friends, family... It's well meant of course but pretty absurd. I feel like saying - thanks but I was kind of looking to have a baby rather than test my fertility for fun. Gah.

Totally agree on the " at least you can get pg comment" - argh!!!!

Have not told my mum re bfp but have lined her up for a visit during week 8. That's when my mcs have been diagnosed so thought it best to get some backup lined up...

Please can we call the next thread the jog the fuck on thread??! Please!

We are at 700 messages so are going to need a new one soon.

WHAT is it with people saying 'at least you know you can get pregnant' ?? Even my own mum said it. Yes I know thank you, and I was indeed pregnant and now I'm not! I'd rather be one of those who just gets to stay pregnant thanks.

Who else can jog the fuck on?

Ocado for sending me baby moisturiser because I ordered pregnancy vitamins from them once
Most pregnant ladies, but not all
Dickhead GPs
Colleagues who drop baby bombs

I've started using cb dual sticks hope

Hope they work!!!!

Hey all - waiting for colleague number 3 to drop the baby bomb tomorrow. And I watched location location location. Put. Those. Scan pictures away!!!!

Sorry boozle about AF - big hugs for next time.

Good luck daisy please keep s updated!

Welcome marmalade please don't be nervous. I had my mc 4 weeks ago and these ladies are just fantastic and have kept me sane and been incredibly comforting.

We all do daft things - we all need a fish slap every now and again - every single one of us- but no one judges and everyone just comforts.

We all range in ages, some already have dc's - some not quite yet - but we all bond and know how shit it feels.

Oh and we swear. A lot.

And sometimes a bit of ranty swearing helps :-)

But I had a week off too, I needed it, I still cry every now and again. I try and ignore all insensitive comments. "Oh at least you know you can get pregnant, it's not as though you waited months and months" oh so that makes it ok then?

Why don't you jog the fuck on. JTFO is my mantra and I'm sticking to it.

Sorry you're here marmalade - all the ladies here are awesome so pour your heart out!

How does the clear blue monitor work? I use the clear blue ovulation sticks with dual hormone indicator. What's the difference between the two?

Pregnant women are everywhere on tv- can't get away. I watch greys anatomy and someone is always giving birth- so painful to see.

Is daisy pg? I think I'm lost on this thread now.. Need to go back and read! You ladies can talk haha xxx

I had 8 weeks off and then worked reduced hours for 2 weeks, this is my first proper week back.

Marmalade I had a similar experience with my gp, the first mc I went in to get my blood results and they signed me off for a week. We ttc before having a full cycle and caught again but sadly lost that one at the same point I rang up for my test results that time but was only offered another blood test to check my levels had dropped right down. No how are you do you need time off from work, nothing.

I already knew we had lost that one too as I'd been bleeding for 6 days by that point I worked through it and just took a long weekend off. GP's are rubbish they actually rang my home first thinking id be there. I wasn't about to take time off work to lounge about at home thinking about it all. Id done that the first time.

Welcome marmalade and sorry you have found yourself here.

Ladies I've lost the plot... I was reading something on twitter and it said 6 month's til Xmas eve which was my due date and now I'm upset again.

Gah.

marmalade that's truly an awful thing to say. Especially from a healthcare professional. Absolutely disgraceful.

That's really bad Marmalade I took nine weeks off in total after my mc and I needed the majority of that time to get my head straightish. Sending you massive hugs and a large rotting fish (with maggots growing out of it) to hit your doctor with xx

Thanks everyone

monten I goggle that a lot!

I wish I could just chill out, see how it goes etc but it's not going to happen.

Had a crappy day at work and feeling very woe is me.

I should get signed off but when I called the GP about my miscarriage, the triage didn't know what to say and the doctor said 'well you were only just pregnant'. Because that makes ok then yes?

When I went for my EPRC I downloaded loads of episodes of Great British Bake Off and Masterchef as we thought they'd be safe territory to watch before the op. How wrong can you get - one contestant was pregnant, one had just had a baby and one was a chuffing midwife, cue long films showing incite into their lives - we had to laugh. Argh!!!

Keep us posted Daisy, you're about the only person in the world I don't seem to get the kick in the face feeling when I think of others being pregnant!

monten laughing so much about location!!!!!
Soooooo funny!! We are looking out for each
I use the cbfm in the pic. They advice 2 x af's post mc b4 you start but I have started with it again 1st cycle. I conceived with it on cycle 2 last time so I say wait for AF then start it x

Thanks for the heads up, was just about to switch over to location!

I saw it start Monten and went charging in to OH in the other room and grabbed the remote, I couldn't cope with seeing that

marmalade welcome and sorry you find yourself here.
monten I practically convinced myself I'd get preggas without AF poking her nose in my business. I went GOOGLE CRAZY for three weeks. I have calmed down now, I just bombard this forum instead! I hope no one is watching location location location currently. Preggas woman showing off her scans! Seriously women, you are EVERYWHERE!

I'm watching location location location really must get a life and one of the couples is expecting and they have shown them cooing over scan pictures 3 times already!!

Massive fingers crossed for you Daisy

Good luck tomorrow english

I was seriously considering getting a CBFM but was going to wait until first af as doubt it will make sense of my cycles before then? Has anyone else used one straight away?

So sorry Boozle, tis crapity crap.

And sorry you're here marmalade - please go to the gp and be signed off. I was signed off for a month after my last one, and took 3 weeks of that to get my head (relatively) straight.

Sorry you are surrounded by everyone Brummie, I really hope they shut up soon!

Thanks for asking Monten, St Marys do 6 week scan and bloods which is booked for next week, and then 8 and 10 week scans if I want. Problem is I live bloody miles away and it cost a fortune on the train so will try and ask my local hospital to do the 8 week one.

Sorry if I haven't caught up with everyone, this thread moves so fast!

Hopefully it's already blessed with luck!!
