TTC after recurrent miscarriage

Hi Eastend. Sorry about your miscarriage. Unfortunately usually the NHS are reluctant to help unless you've had three pregnancy losses in a row (no live birth in between) so be prepared that they might not offer anything, but it's always worth asking.

Hi all can I join? Just recovering from natural MMC at 7 weeks (embryo stoped growing around 5), trying for DC2 after EP, MMC then DS. Will have to go back to EPU later in the week I guess to check everything has “passed” and I guess also need to have a chat with GP to see if the NHS can offer any help. Any advice?

PS congrats keepon stay hopeful!

Oh no! Hope it’s not too sore.

I stabbed myself yesterday in the finger with a fork. It made it bleed a lot. It's the same finger I only have half the nerves in as I cut the tendon earlier this year So I'll join you on the stupid injury bench. Luckily it's just the skin this time!

What a tit bertie, sorry she was so thick and insensitive.

The only mitigating factor is some women who’ve genuinely never poas stick before they get their bfp think the test line should be as dark as the control, and/or have a DP telling them so. But I completely agree. Smug fertile twats. And I’ve had the best sex of my life while pregnant, never known anything like it, so I don’t know where the practise thing comes in as there’s no automatic reason to stop post bfp if you both feel up for it!

I’m feeling a bit viral tonight and managed to hurt my wrist with a pumpkin related injury. Don’t ask. But it’s embarrassing and sore

Woohoo keepon, excellent news. Now stay put, do you hear? (Probably a good job it doesn't have ears yet because I'm rubbish at being stern!)

Loving the refurbished uterus

Grrr someone has annoyed the fuck out of me today. Was posting about our current apartment since it's often customary here to offer your apartment to friends/acquaintances in order to help the landlord have a smoother transition to the next renter. Was having a bit of back and forth with somebody about it and the person who we rented it after, who now lives in Canada butted in with all kinds of commentary about how the landlord is so nice and blah blah and she wants to find pictures because Bertie has such a lot on her plate .... and I was thinking WTF is she on about, I do have a lot going on, but not that she knows about? And then in a later comment she was all "Congratulations by the way, I don't think I said, when are you due?"

... so I just replied that I'm not pregnant, and I have no idea where she's got that idea from. With the crying-with-laughter face because hahahaha, isn't it just a jolly mistake, and I don't want to make her feel bad.

Then she replies with "Oh noo, LOL, I'm so sorry LOL, I swear somebody is pregnant in the group, I wonder who it was...?"

I feel like replying with "About a million people on this group are pregnant. #waitingforever" but I feel like it's too passive aggressive so I have stuck to being grumpy and ignoring her instead.

Lisa, I second that!

Thanks for all your kind words ladies. I'm just hoping this newly refurbished uterus does the trick. We shall see. One day at a time.

Anne, DH's reaction was pretty much what I expected to be honest! He likes to try and adopt the attitude that if you don't look forward to things you won't be disappointed if they don't live up to expectations. Clearly that approach does not work!

Great news keepon. Everything crossed for you.

Fab news keepon!

Woo fantastic news keepon. Time for your newly shaped uterus to look after your bean. So happy for you.

Hi everyone can I join? I had a D&C for a MMC at 11+4 last month. We have been TTC straight away and I'm 7dpo. Had spotting last night and thought AF was coming very early. Nothing today.

I've had spotting all month though since the D&C. No idea what my cycle is doing big I'm also switching between stupidly hopeful and totally despondent all the time!

Fingers crossed for everyone on this thread.

Congratulations KeepOn - see, you weren't being a hopeful twat, just justifiably hopeful! Crossing fingers, toes, everything that this is your well-deserved take-home baby xx

Oh my god, what amazing news!!!!!!!!! Oh bless you, are you okay about what DH said? With my last one I woke DH up by shaking his shoulder with the test in my other hand and he said something like "oh my god, no, not again, really?!!!!!" and we looked at each other in blind terror! so I know it doesn't always feel like the movie cliche We were both happy but also shocked and terrified. It's all so complicates sometimes.

I'm over the bloody moon for you You're pregnant! New sperm, new egg, totally unique pregnancy, no reason at all you won't be a Mum to a gorgeous podgy newborn in 9 months.

Urgh yes, I agree ladies. How they think random people on the internet can tell them if they're pregnant or not I do not know. And when they say they don't want to waste money on a test. You can get them for a pound in Asda!

Anyway, in other news, looks like I'm pregnant, oh my jeffing days. Pissed on one of those fancy pants FRERs this morning and it was only a bloody BFP. It has always taken several months of TTC before so I was expecting a negative but after spending an hour and a half awake in the night pondering it I decided I needed to do one to try and manage my expectations. Showed DH and he said oh no, followed by errrr, congratulations followed by it'll only go wrong anyway and then pointed out that I'm going to have another dry Christmas probably for nothing!!!!!! The natural pessimist in him fully emerged!

My other absolute fav. 'My period hasn't arrived, could I be pregnant' and then get all arsey when literally the whole of mn tells you to take a test. Ooooooh I'm to nervous etc etc. Actually makes we want to do harm. Just take the fecking test, we all know you are pregnant, you now have 200 people telling you you are, just TEST. Silly people.

Never saw that one miami but holy fuck, people are idiots.

And couldn’t agree more bertie. Likewise “could I be pregnant? Yes I’ve had sex but only a bit and now my tea tastes funny”. I mostly just envy their blissful naivety, lucky cows. I’m so cynical and jaded these days you can take all the vitamins, eat all the right things, do all the shagging on exactly the right days and it still doesn’t fucking happen. God I miss being optimistic.

Does anyone else really peeing on sticks these days? I’ve never really liked it but I’ve user up all my ICs and might have some frers in a drawer somewhere but can’t be arsed to check and don’t want to buy anymore.

Big love to all. Fingers crossed for a bunch of lovely a bunch of bfps soon!

Interesting fact Bertie. Not there for another week but af finally buggered off and we had a snow day so much shagging for practise

Manic week ahead. Thanks for kind thoughts on the family dying and illness stuff. Feeling a bit battered in the head but looking forward to a long break over Xmas and hopefully only the one funeral beforehand.

Got acu on Saturday which will be nice.

Sorry people are having awful times. No bunch of lovable nutters has ever been more deserving of happiness and babies than you lot.

Sorry, it's not very charitable I know, but I find the most bonkers posts on here to be the ones where someone comes on and asks us all to tell her who is the father of her baby based on some TMI and overly detailed description involving dates, times, positions and number of orgasms.

And yet there is at least one a month!

Yep, any month will do!

There was some crazy ass post a while ago basically asking people to think of the poor midwives when they are doing all their Christmas shagging and then having September babies!! Made me laugh. Like I love midwives but I don't give a crap when their busiest time is, i just want a baby. Any month will do.
Rooting for you keepon and schnitzel.
