Ok, girls, our last thread did get crazy long so I am starting this one. If you don't like the name - well... too bad You'll get used to it over time .

ILTC, hi there sista! I feel like we're SO alike. Can you believe that my bleeding started again today? I was quite . And out of all places it started in a zoo when we were watching little sheep at the "petting zoo" section with DS and DH. Grrreat!~ Hope you're feeling better and this mess if over soon for all of us .

Rosybelle, hi there~ [sends a wave] Com'on over - sorry you're here but it's easier to get through things together. If you read my previous posts you know what I have to say - ERPC (or D&C) all the way. Good luck!

Scully, hi... you sound like me... actually my DH who is very much doubting TCC'ing again. And that's just after one MC! Well... we did have a stillborn DD1 but went on to have a beautiful DS. What would have happened if we got scared back then and didn't do it. Ooops, promised not to talk about it until mid-Oct. That's when my MC blood/ tissue results are back from the lab to tell us what was wrong with the baby. We agreed we wouldn't make any decisions until we find out.

Cricri, I know you won't be chechking this thread until later but hope your weekend in Holland is fab!

Hugs and smooches to all!

OK ladies, this is a tmi post but I'd really like your thoughts and advice if you have any!

I have been getting pains in my right side whee I assume my ovaries are for a few days, yesterday I also had some pains that were more central and lower down. This morning we were bd'ing and DP was quite deep and with every thrust the pain in my right side was back. So we stopped.

I had my m/c confirmed on 12 Sept and bled for a further two weeks from then. An OPK detected an LH surge I think on Thursday 27th but then I'm not sure because at first I thought these pains sounded like ov pain but then they lasted a few days?

I googled 'pain in side during sex' and it suggested an ovarian cyst. But surely if I had one it would have been spotted on my scans? I had several, Germany (internal), gynie (external), then the scanning unit both external and internal. Or maybe they were just concentrating on the m/c so didn't look anywhere else?

Any thoughts?

TJuice - eeeks!!! Chili cheese fries!!! I haven't had that in AGES!!! yummmmm!

God, you know all this food talk is really dangerous. I'm reading these posts, watching a Saturday Kitchen on BBC1, and thinking "what can I bake today?"

haha! its all so romantic isn't it?

my cunning trick is the morning one - have been setting my alarm a little bit earlier. why waste good morning wood? (sorry, v. crude)

i had a really lazy friday evening, sadly without cakes but with this amazing junk food dish my american dp concocts: fries (or chips)covered with chilli con carne(very tasty one available from cafe round the corner), covered in cheese. It was so piggin good.

Oh and one quick note ? if you?re trying to understand your DH/ DP - stop You will never be able to?

after all the conversations we?ve been having with my DH? and how we decided to wait until blood results, blah, blah? we haven?t done the ?it? for a couple of days? just didn?t feel like it? but it gave me time to get used to the idea that we?re on hold. So all good, right? Well last night our DS actually slept through the whole night!!! YIPEE! My bumble bee! BUT we?re so used to be up like a 10000 times a night ? we of course woke up at like 4:30 in the morning? so after some tossing and turning? well you know

Do you know where I am going with this? YES My DH totally did you know what! Totally TTC?ed? so WHO can understand these men?!?!?! I rest my case.

I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I HAVE WHAT LOOKS LIKE AN ONLINE DIARY OF MY BEDROOM LIFE ON MN!!!

ronshar I don?t have any pearls of wisdom to offer? we all know too well that ?relax? ?don?t worry? ?everything will be fine? might not work at times? so I am just wishing that you find out the truth really-really soon!

aquababe, hun, it is a very, very emotional time? for both of you. Your DH might not be showing his emotions? for guys it is easier to bottle everything inside. ?If I don?t talk about it, if I don?t show ? it is not happening, it is not real.? Just try to remember that your DD, and your lost lo and your next baby (if you decide for that) are all results of your love with DH. Don?t shut down. He might not be doing what you want him to? but he might just not know how. ~keeping you in my thoughts~

Rosy how are you holding on before Monday? Thinking of your baby girl and you ? everything will go heavenly well. Let us know right away, ok?

GF3 you must think I?m hormonal but I cried when I read your post. I am SO happy for you, honestly, from the bottom of my heart!!! YEAH. I am also very glad that you?ve gotten progesterone. If you read my posts from the last couple of days ? you?d see that my doc is a big believer in that.

positive {{{huge teddy bear hugs}}} Hurrah to our little womb dancer~ Keep it up, girl, keep it up!

Hello

Really quick post because i am at a friends having dinner. I have begged to use the internet because mine is broken and i feel so cut off!!! I hope you are all ok. I am on CD 9 so obsessive baby making will start again soon.

I am waiting for the internet company to send me a new modem but with the postal strike it will probably be another week - arrrggghhh - i am actually having to speak to real life people

Hi to TJuice and cricri - thanks for thinking of me xxxxx

aquababe · 05/10/2007 19:50

Feeling pretty broken tonight
It's a week since I started bleeding.
I can't believe this time last week I still had my baby inside me and hope.
It doesn't help that I feel my dh has moved on already. I'm so jealous I still have the physical reminders, but he can go to work and shut it all out.

I tried to find a photo album for my little angel but none seem right.

T juice
I can't begin to understand how painful this must be for those without children but for my dd I'd just curl up.

iliketosleep · 05/10/2007 19:49

can i just take the time to say.....and i think im speaking for all of us, most of us, and just us in general when i say..........

I WANT A BABY!!!!!!!! and i want it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

phew feel better now

FlossieF · 05/10/2007 17:48

Fantastic news Positive, and Goingfor3! Delighted all is well.

Speaking personally, hearing good news like this is one of the reasons I keep coming back to MN. Glimmers of hope for all of us.

Nice one.

goingfor3 · 05/10/2007 17:20

ladies I'm so sorry to hear how down some of you are. Ronshar I've very sorry to hear your due date is now, it's such a hard time.

I had a scan today and saw the little baby with a heartbeat! I've also been prescribed Progesterone for the next six weeks which suprised me as I've never miscarried in early pregnancy but I am willing to take anything to give my little lump a good chance!

positive · 05/10/2007 16:34

Hi everyone

sorry to hear some of you are sad today but can I just add a few words to give you a ray of hope.

I had my 12wk scan today - have been told i'm acutally 13 +3, saw little one jumping and I mean jumping about on the screen. I never thought I'd get this far again after my mc, its taken 18 mths ttc and as an older mum to be (im 38) we werent sure whether it would acutally happen again.

Please all hang in there.

chocolate fudge cake and ice cream sounds sooo good right now, anyone want share.

good vibes and positive thoughts

TJuice · 05/10/2007 16:26

herb - its totally a pandora's box . . .
five mcs though, must be so painful for you. i really hope it works out for you.

ronshar getting away is a great idea. maybe you should just wait a while anyway. testing is certainly doing my head in right now. i have my fingies crossed fo you xx

ladylush · 05/10/2007 16:16

Thinking of you ronshar. It's torture when you are due/late isn't it.

nh101 · 05/10/2007 15:45

Hi Ronshar, thinking of you. I know it's tough but hang in there - you will be just fine. Could you maybe arrange a weekend away or something to give you something else to focus on?

EllieG · 05/10/2007 13:51

Hey ronshar - am keeping all things crossed for you. I would say try and relax but I know how hard that is xxx

ronshar · 05/10/2007 12:53

No AF yet, could be 1 day late or it could be my crap cycle since MC!
I am aware of my BFN on Tuesday.
I am feeling very strange but not sure if that is because I am hanging on by the last small thread of sanity.
I feel that if I am not pregnant this time I am going to find it really hard to cope. I know I will but this feeling of helplessness and failure is begining to feel like an unwelcome house guest who just doesnt want to leave.
I dont want to test either because if it is BFN then what will I do?

herbaceous · 05/10/2007 12:47

Oh god, I know exactly how you feel. I'd got to 39 without feeling remotely broody, then thought 'better have a go'. Got pregnant easily, then lost it at six weeks. Then lost three more, all after 10 weeks, so had got excited about all of them. And the only cure for the grief was to get pregnant. Only to lose it again. This last one, in March, was particularly hard, and life seemed utterly pointless for a long time. I even wondered about ending it all.

Now there are good days, and bad. Though I was totally knocked back into suicide mode by my sister getting pregnant. With her third, perfect, child. I just have to remember that I have a fantastic partner, a full life and that I was perfectly happy for 38 years of it before this baby business came along. it's a bit like pandora's box, though, isn't it. Once it's been opened, it can't be closed again. Very hard to go back to pre-pregnancy ways of thinking...

TJuice · 05/10/2007 12:30

thanks, ladies.
its so nice to know that i'm not the only one who has felt like this. appreciate the support.

our first-af-post-mc experiences are so different! mine was so light. maybe because they scraped the hell out of it before . . .
anyway, i guess it counts so i am on CD18 -where is everyone else in their cycle?
