TTC after MC. The ups, the downs, the never ending Toad in the Hole and the relentless onslaught from the Facebook faceslaps!

Hold on in there boozle, as already said it could be breakthrough bleeding x

If my stomach wasn't still churning, I would be joining you broody

Seb is right I did with DS

Oh boozle hang in there. I'm crossing absolutely everything for you.

Hang in in there Boozle, it's very common to breakthrough bleed around the time your period would be due.

Fuck, just started bleeding a bit and cramping. Fuck.

Just poas. A bffn. Going on my pre mc cycles, I'm due on today so I think I've got to just accept that I'm not pg right now and try not to dwell. The annoying thing is that I have all of these symptoms that are still lingering which just makes me think I'm pg. I need AFF to turn up now and prove it all. Feeling angry and down at the same time Wine tonight, eff it!

Thanks fox. Just have strong cramps at the moment.. I hope this is normal !

Thanks Boozle it's getting more frequent and heavier now so hope it's AF and doesn't continue for 2 weeks like this.

Reading some stories on here I'm glad we didn't ttc straight away as this would be torture, being late and then spotting. MC and the WTF cycle have a lot to answer for.

Hope - I really do hope everything is ok for you and you can get a scan soon xx

Hope you hear soon. I'm so glad it's not just me re holiday! I'm just hoping it distracts me enough to not POAS and think about it ALL the time

Haha that is cute!! Moment like these help you get through the day. Children are such blessings.

I think I will wait for my appointment in August and speak to the consultant and see if I can get referred for early scan.

This pregnancy I actually don't feel pregnant! Or maybe I don't want to get excited and then something terrible happens again. Not getting my hopes up. Even hubby is a lot more calm as when he first found out I was pg he went crazy with excitement. Does suck the fun out of pregnancy. But I hope it all goes well. Keep having thoughts of my 12 week scan, I am dreading it. If I do reach that stage - eyes closed ears closed I want to go in blindfolded and come out not seeing the scan or hearing the sonographher. Then hubby can tell me all about it when I get home? Am I being too dramatic!?

So sorry AF arrived monten but glad you're all cool with it. Cd1 hope etc

hope I think I'd go for a reassurance scan too if/when I get a bfp, even though I'd been a bit wary before. Btw, I thought of you the other day - was in the loo at ikea, boy with his mum/nanny in next cubicle. He asked her what the sign said (it was a "think of the environment and use short flush" message). She told him it was something to do with nature. To which he replied: "people always say pray for nature. I don't want to pray for ALL of nature because I don't like fish so I'm not praying for fish". How cute?! Must admit to having a little chuckle at that!

It's accurate if your cycle is regular and you ovulate when expected. I hope your hear from hospital soon, it will probably just be an appointment for your 12 weeks can though so if you can't wait till your mc follow up appointment then I would maybe ask your gp for a referral?

I didn't get a follow up appointment after either, is this normal? Still waiting for my karyotype results after Erpc, will be six weeks on Monday so hopefully will be soon.

marma I know what you mean! somehow I need to be somewhere new to truly consider it a hol!

It's saying I'm 6 weeks pregnant. Early days!! how accurate is this thing!

My last Af was 3rd of June.. I will check out the calculator now.

Monten your advice is always the best! You are a star. No midwife yet as I haven't received a letter from our local hospital yet. I hope the doctors surgery passed my details on to the hospital! They can be really incompetent at times. I have my follow up appointment on the 18th of Aug after mc so will ask a lot of questions then as well. I don't want to go to that follow up appointment -
Bad memories coming back but I might get some answers relating to what happened during previous pregnancy. Not sure I want to know now.. Might disturb me for his pregnancy!

Sorry AF came morten :(

Argh! Far from home and because I still have to cook and clean I feel it is somewhat debatable to being a holiday!
Same shit different place?
Wow I am so grumpy!

...

Oh oneday how confusing :(
Will open the coke!
I have irregular cycles but I think I'm 10dpo but the ovia app thinks I'm about a week late!
So I am probably too early to be testing if I'm right.
Who knows!
I'm sick of squinting to see a bloody line!

On holiday soon, not far from h

When was your last af? I just always put it into that online nhs calculator and then that will tell you. Not completely accurate tho of course but a good indicator.

For scan - does a hospital near you have an early pregnancy unit? Some of them have walk-in self refer clinics so you don't need an appointment. Are you registered with the midwife? They will be able to advise. Or else you can pay to go to one of those private reassurance scan places. I would be cautious if you are anything less than six weeks though, as they can't see that much and reassurance scans can turn out to have the opposite effect, often when things are completely fine. Seven weeks is the earliest you would be able to reliably see a heart beat, although they can sometimes see it earlier. Fx for you.

Sorry AF arrived Monten. Hopefully next month will be your month. It sucks but hang in there we are all here for you.

I don't even know how many weeks I am! The doctor was new and useless. How do I find out? Who do I call to find out and book a scan!?

Hi all - af arrived this morning. I'm alright actually, after bfn the other day I kind of knew. I may join the earlier testing club, it does make it easier if you've seen a bfn! Onwards and upwards.

tranquility hello! I'm sorry for your loss. Really glad you are feeling a bit stronger, have a lovely holiday, you really deserve it.

daisy so glad you have an appointment, I think£100 is well worth it. Good luck, I really hope it is good news. Keep us posted.

oneday I'm so sorry you're still getting confusing signals. Did you say you had a docs appointment? If it carries on they should be able to give you a blood test to know for definite.

marma sorry about your bfn. Boobs sound like a good sign tho, mine are a very unreliable indicator as I said above, they seem to go up and down like the wind! Do you have any holidays planned?

hope I had af cramping in both my pregnancies, for me it is a definite symptom and nothing to worry about. It wasn't ever more than slightly uncomfortable though. I'm sorry you are worried. How many weeks are you? Can you get a scan?

broody my first due date would have been next week. The heat would have been awful. Still I saw a woman with a huge bump the other day and I was just reeling with envy and sadness .

Happy Saturday everyone. I am going to bake and garden, two things guaranteed to calm me down!

BFP (although super faint) yesterday tea time and BFN this morning with FMU. I've read somewhere that if the faint Bfp's are later in the day it's likely to be left over hcg whereas FMU bfp's are more likely to be a new pregnancy. Still don't feel like first AF is approaching but I wish it bloody would so I know where I am!

marmalade sorry for your bfn. How many DPO are you/when are you expecting AF? And you poor thing with the d&v bug especially in this clammy weather. Hope you make a speedy recovery. When I had campylobacter, flat full fat coke was like nectar of the gods. Easy to stomach, sugary for energy but it also contains lots of salts to replenish those you've lost.

Grumpy camp here too today. I'm being so horrid to DH and can't shake it off. This close weather isn't helping.

Bfn here. Though have some obvious blue veins on boobs. That was definitely a sign for me. But who knows.
Have the D&V bug :( I assume this means I'm out for some reason.
I am most definitely in the mardy cow camp today. So grumpy stroppyness and woe is me is inclusive.

I also want a holiday :(

Hi hope I cramped in my pregnancy was DS. Didn't have browny discharge but did bleed a bit.
Sorry I'm not sure if that helps or not!

tranquility have a fantastic break! So sorry to hear of your loss.
