ttc after mc July/August 2007 - shiny new thread as the other was full

Hi,

I hope nobody minds me adding a new thread, but the other wouldn't let me reply.

LadyLush - Sorry to hear about your loss . In answer to your question, I thought I was around 11-12 weeks pg, but the scan said the baby was around 8-9 weeks. When I'd had the ERPC, the gynae reg said the uterus was around 14weeks and the baby was still 8-9 weeks.
I'm sure things do get better with time, but things are still pretty raw and new for me. I'm glad things are getting back to normal for you (and hopefully for others too).

ah ha but if you pissed in a pot you could do it from the comfort of your own computer desk then all you gotta do is dip and wait!!

Hi everybody, i havent read the thread properly but would like to say good luck to all of you ttc, mumsnet was a godsend when i had my ectopic in 2005 and i wish you all the best.

I mean how would that work??
Would you have to show the whole wee thing or just a picture of the wee stick changing colour or the words coming up (delete as applicable). would you include the emotional response of the woman?
I dont think many people would want to see me screaming and throwing the aforementioned wee stick through the air. And possibly me throwing myself on the floor wailing its not fair why am I not pregnant again!
I mean who would want to see that!!!!

goingfor3 · 16/09/2007 16:55

LOL at the thought of live webcam testing, you can count me out of that one!

ronshar · 16/09/2007 16:42

Afternoon ladies. Can I just say I hope it isnt a live web cam testing. That really would be TMI! No offence Im sure you are beautiful.

Lissie. Are you still TTC. I am using you as my benchmark. When you started TTC again I was going to. A bit of moral support for us both or just a way to beat myself up a bit more, I hadnt worked it out yet!!

Ellie I am sooooooo happy for your little bean. I cried again. Little arms waving I love it. I remember with both my dds they were picking their noses at the 20week scans. Gross.

Nh101, I am thinking of you and sending lots of baby luck your way. Will you have a normal cycle now with the Clomid?

I have forgotten everyone elses names and news but I have read all the posts and want to say how sorry I am for all those who have had to join us. And the girls who are currently mid MC, hang on in there it will end and soon. Your body is a miracle and fixes itself very quickly. You need to look after yourselves and not try and rush things back to "normal".
Th sunshine has gone and the clouds are back!
Bugger, summer is over again!

Lcy · 16/09/2007 12:52

Big hugs ILTS - August will be a very expensive but happy month for you xx

EEEK - i cant believe it is time for one of us to test Goingfor3.

goingfor3 · 16/09/2007 12:50

iliketosleep - sounds like you will be busy next summer!!! I had written on my calender how many weeks I would be up to 20 weeks and I remember when I had to see if I was free one day and it was the day I would have been 20 weeks and it was so heartbreaking. I've stopped counting how many week I would be now, just to sad to think about.

goingfor3 · 16/09/2007 12:47

Lcy - Good to here you had a great day yesterday!

I'm relaxing today. Yesterday I feel asleep on the train on the way home, I must have been exhausted. DP has taken DD1 out today and I'm just looking asfter the little one so we made apple pie together. According to fertility friend which used my temps and opk results I'm 9 days dpo which means I could test tommorow but I have so far resisted buying any tests. I will try and hold out as long as I can and hopefully af won't turn up in the mean time!

iliketosleep · 16/09/2007 12:44

and ive just realised that i would have been 12 weeks today

And ive also just realised that by the time i do concieve again i will be due in august YET AGAIN!!

So far it goes dd1 27th july dp 7th august dd2 18th august ds 26th august. Yeah thats great, really fantastic

Whoops crossed posts kensgirl - i hope you are ok xx

Lcy · 16/09/2007 11:31

Hi everyone,

Me and DH had a fabulous day yesterday - i cant believe we have been married for a year! I hope you are all ok and enjoying your weekends x

Emmsy i hope you will always feel welcome to post on here - if and when i get pregnant i am staying with you guys if you like it or not. You are after all my virtual support system

Rosybelle - welcome, sorry about your miscarriage i hope everything starts naturally but if not ERPC is a very simple procedure.

Scully - welcome back. I am at about the same stage as you. I ovulated 5 days ago so i am expecting my period in 9 days. That will make it about 5 week gap between erpc and period.

Lcy xx

kensgirl · 16/09/2007 11:22

Morning all!

there are so many of us here at the moment that I think I'm going to find it tricky to keep upto dat with everything, so if I miss anything huge, please nudge me!

Ladylush, if you remember my GP said the latest advice is to to take the 5mg of folic acid, particuarly if you have miscarried.I think the esoning was that most mc's happen at the time tat neural development is taking place, and that while the wiring as it were went wronh at the time of conception, it only makes itself eveident at that crucial time between 8 -12 weeks (Ithink..), and so anything that helps promote good neural tube development like folic acid, is a must. How are you, anyway? I don'tthink it is recommended that steam rooms are used when pg, not sure if anyone has answered yet for you!

Hi Lissie, nice to see you!

Rosybelle, I am sorry to see you here, sweetheart. I posted on the other thread for you, my heart does go out to you. I had a ERPC, and in my experience, it wasn't too bad. Thinking of you xx

Your anniversary sounds lovely, Lcy, a very special way to spend the day ,

I know this thread has been going a while now, and wil have to be renewed soon, I'm not too bothered about what its called though. I do think it is helpful to have ttc after mc in there though, as thats what most of us are trying to do, and I think it helps those in need to find us, knowing they will find likeminded people. Also, a lot of those who have graduated from here to the Pregancy after miscarriage thread do pop in to see us. I would like to think we'll all be there anyway soon... Just my thoughts on it though, I'll just go with the flow....

WMMC - are you back from Dublin yet?

Emmsy, Scully, ILTS, TJuice, Sweetkitty, Gfor3 and everyone, hope you are all making the most of the September sunshine!

Emmsy · 16/09/2007 10:50

I have just joined the "Bring on the October BFP's) I am not deserting you I will be posting on here as wellxxx

Emmsy · 16/09/2007 08:01

ILTS No Idea why Dr Ellard prescribes a much higher dose for his recurrent M/C ladies, I was told it second hand by a nurse at the EPU.(she just said he had done a lot of research into it!) My own Doc had no worries about prescribing me it. so definately going to carry on with it!
Tjuice thanks for your kind words, I only discuss it with you girls, most people "even mum" have the attitude that if you already have children then you have no right to feel upset! so I keep my feeling's well and truly away from "fleshy people" and let the moans come out to the "virtual people" on here!
Rosybelle welcome to this thread I have only been here since Thursday, I was posting on two other threads but when I m/c's I felt that I didn't "qualify" to stay with them any more! I wonder if and when I get my next BFP will I feel the same about this thread??
scully welcome back after your little break! good luck with your TTCx

scully · 16/09/2007 05:59

Hi everyone, I haven't made it on here in a little while. m/c was 4.5wks ago, still no sign of af as yet, but we are still sitting on the fence as to when/if to start trying again. Have been kept busy with going back to work part time (same week as m/c but good timing to now keep me busy 15hrs a week), and we've found a house to buy, so hopefully should be able to move in, late October. We just had a 3 day break away as well, which was very relaxing for all of us.
I haven't read all the posts on here, but hope everyone is doing ok.

iliketosleep · 15/09/2007 23:02

yay, rosybelle you made it

I wish someone would have told me that before dammit

I would highly suggest ERPC hun!

RosyBelle · 15/09/2007 22:42

Hi Ladies. May I join you?? i know a couple of you already - ILTS & Kat...

I was told last monday that we had a missed miscarriage - no growth or heartbeat @ 7wks and I have been referred to a recurrent miscarriage consultant as this was our 2nd in a row... however the 1st was 2 yrs ago & we have had 2 cycles of failed IVF in the last year... got pregnant 2nd time 2 weeks after IVF failed.

ILTS - how are you honey?? I read your post on the other thread about your experience and am so sorry it was like that . I hope you are feeling better. I can tell you now that when I asked my doctor for the pill that you took he refused & said it was the most painful way to miscarry - more women end up in A&E than don't... a large % need transfusions... and he feels it is unnecessary for anyone to go through it.

Unfortunatley I am showing NO sign of this baby coming out & may have to call on Monday & book an erpc after all (even though I don't want 1).

Kat - hello!! When you say beautiful weather... how beautiful?? Go on...make us jealous ...

Hello to everyone else...

Rose
xxxx

TJuice · 15/09/2007 21:27

emmsy - i'm so sorry about your m/c. its just so raw and horrible so soon afterwards. i hope you have good people around you to buoy you up right now.

iliketosleep · 15/09/2007 21:04

oh and i agree with whoever mentioned not mentioning ttc m/c etc, I dont feel its completely necessary iyswim, but im easy doesnt really matter about the title so long as everyone makes it there
