All about us ~ MC'ing or MC'ed or TTC after MC or just loves cakes!

there's a new thread - sorry, don't know how to post a link, but it's on the conception topic bit, and same sort of title, but starts October*

Welcome sky, sorry about your m/c's. Have had 3 so know it's tough. I'm not sure how to date from m/c bleed as have always waited til 1st period after m/c before ttc. Good luck and hope you don't have to stay on the thread for long

I'd like to join this thread. I'm trying to conceive no 2 and have had two early miscarriages. I'm really wanting to start trying again but feeling very worried about it all. Also, any idea when you are likely to ovulate after an early miscarriage? Is it generally about 2 weeks? I know I should wait another cycle but I'm keen to start trying as soon as possible

Hi Torres, I am doing ok on the whole. It's always uplifting when someone on the ttc thread gets pregnant so I am grateful to you, Ronshar, Scorpio1 etc........and hoping I'm not too far behind obviously

torres, ronshar, thinking of you x

ronshar- thinking of you and hoping you're ok xx

ladylush- thank you for your kind words- you've hit the nail on the head. I am exactly the same with my pregnacy book and although I know the date of my 12 week scan I haven't allowed myself to write it in my diary. Very irrational! I hope you're ok and managing to keep positive xx

nh- best of luck for the scan on monday xx

the waiting is awful isn't it

I was making it up, I think, when I said bleeding was slowing down!
No real pain but feel awful. I am also passing clots and tissue!!!

Never mind back to the drawing board!!

Don't feel bad for us! How is it today? Have you tested again to see how strong the hcg is?

How are you doing this morning ronshar?

Still bleeding but I am trying to tell myself it is slowing down. It is a bit like trying to see if it is a line or not on a pee stick!
I do not have any pain but breast definitely not as heavy as this time yesterday.

Thank you NH I feel a bad because you and Floss and others are around the same time as me and I dont want to add to your worries. Please dont think it will happen to you.

ronshar - am sorry. How is it now?

ronshar. Is it heavy bleeding? Any pain? Do you have epu near you? I bled with ds and all was fine, but I know how nerve wracking it is

Ronshar, after my reaction yesterday to a bit of pink I am totally feeling for you. But remember - bleeding happens in 20% of pregnancies and 75% result in successful pregnancy.

Have you got a scan?

Torres- yet to admit to DH that I did 12 tests. Have spares in case of emergency panic moment.

NH- hope you are feeling brighter. I must confess I seem to sit on the fringes of excitement but for the main part am afriad for every minute of every day. Good luck with Monday. I have to wait until 11 weeks. Only four weeks left [insert tick-tock emoticon along with impatient foot-tapping floss emoticon here]

Ronshar- keeping everything crossed and sending you big hugs.

I am bleeding properly. I am really pissed off.
I am telling everyone. It isnt making me feel better yet.
Sorry to drag everyone else down.

Hugs to nh xxx

Had a major wobble yesterday - saw the slightest of slight pink-tinged mucus and was convinced it was the end, sobbed for ages.

I was OK after my last MC, just saw it as one of those things, but I would not be able to cope if this one ends badly too. I took my temp though this mornign and it is still high so that is a good sign but I have been feeling less sick this week and feel "less pregnant" so that's why I thought it was bad news yesterday.

No more blood etc so am actually more confident now! Scan on Monday (shitting myself!)

frankielamb - so very sad to hear of your m/c and your friend's stillborn baby and previous m/c. The ability to have a child is seen as such an unquestionable thing, yet the science is so fuzzy.

Lovelylou - sorry you are down. TTC is getting to me now too

Goingfor3 - sorry to hear about your predicament. Why is consultant care so hit and miss

Torres I felt so bad for you when you said "I am still pregnant" as if you expect it to be taken away from you any minute. I can understand how you feel as I felt like this during my most recent m/c, and I know statistics are not comforting BUT you have an excellent chance of everything being perfectly ok. Just gotta do the 3 months, then on to the home stretch. Sounds so easy doesn't it, but bloody hard I know. I suppose I'm just saying try to relax and try to be positive as worrying makes the time drag even slower. I remember not allowing myself to look past the week I had reached in my baby book so as not to jinx myself. The things we do! Like to think I am pragmatic usually - but totally superstitious when it comes to pregnancy issues!

going for 3- i am so sorry to hear that, what a huge decision to make. The books all seem to make stitches sound like a routine thing. I wonder if anyone on MN has had the same experience? I'm glad he will scan you regularly and keep a good eye on you but I can imagine it must be very scary. Sending you a big hug xx

lovelylou- sorry to hear you are feeling so low. One way I coped with those dark times was to try and control as much of the ttc process as could be controlled- in the sense of trying to make sure I was as healthy and relaxed as I could be. Hopefully you will then be in peak condition for when you are allowed to try again.

Flosspot- 12 tests!!! DH hid ours once I reached 7!

Hey lovelylou - so sorry you're feeling crappy hon. Don't worry about coming on to have a moan, it's shitty when you're ttc and not getting where you want to be, and makes you feel so miserable. Am thinking of you and sending lots of love and hugs x

Goingfor3 thinking of you...

Hiya lovleylou, you pop into my mind so often, I am sorry you still feel down, I began to feel better about six months after my MC and hoped you were feeling the same. I didn't think I'd have a chance of falling PG cos my periods had gone AWOL so was resigned to waiting at least another six months to ttc, but doc put me on Clomid and voila! I am PG.

I am so so rooting for you to be PG in March. Hopefully it will happen quickly as you have given your body such a good break. Your LO must be giving you lots of pleasure at the mo at least!
