December 07- MC Avengers in big pants, going through, been through or pg after a mc, still here, still eating cakes. We will not be beaten!

Hi Coolkat,

I know everyone is different, but I would say take a few days if you can. No-one with any sense would think you are being silly!

I always say, people can see a cast if you break something, but they can't see something on the inside. It doesn't mean you still don't need time to heal iykwim.

Looks like we are in the same part of the country! Yes I was there holding onto my hat for dear life

Sweetkitty I'm so glad your scan went well. DH is doing well thank you. We have a blood test coming up this week, so as long as his count is the same as before... I don't want to jinx it... but (whispers) I think we're out of the woods!!

I bought a second hand CBFM and got the sticks from boots, so I have it ready and waiting to tell me when to pounce on seduce DH.

I will be interested to see when I ov as to be honest, I really don't have a clue!

I am keeping a book with all my info so if I need to see a dr I have it all to hand.

Me, a trainee obsessive mner?? Nah...

hope those of you with worries and uncertainties get some answers soon.

odd day today, as I had to chase hospital for follow up scan and cancel the private scan I would be having this weekand must contact GP
also need to cancel booking in appointment but haven't quite managed that yet

coolkat - sorry to hear about your test results take some time out for yourself and rest up x

aquababe - what a nightmare of a doctor hope things get resolved for you too

jules - hope the bleeding has tailed off, when are you having another scan?

Georgie - hello there, I think sometimes a good cry is in order sometimes it sneaks up on you but you feel the better for getting it over with.

grinningbee - glad the EW finally turned up now you can get down to some serious ttc -ing in a few days. I used CBD opks first cycle after mc just to see if I actually was ovulating and where my cycle was. I was lucky mine clicked straight back into a 27 day cycle with ov on CD15 can recommend them as it's better to know (well I think anyway) How is your DH?

Hello to everyone else hope Monday is being kind to you all xxx

Hi Ladies
Thanks for all your messgaes of support, the hospital have phoned and it is as I thought my pregnancy hormone was really low. I have to go to hospital tomorrow for another blood test - something about checking the levels are still going down?

Griningbee I think we may be in the same neck of the woods if you did a victorian fair in the town of MM on sunday!!

Just chilling, still getting bad cramps and bleeding and clots coming quite heavy - sorry tmi.
Does all this sound normal?
I am off work today when do I return / whats normal I do not want them to think I am stupid IYSWIM.

I am lucky I have 1 DD who is 5 and this has kinda put me off trying but we will see.

Sorry for me post I am familiarising myself wih you all, don't want to put my foot in it!

Hi there one and all.

Aqua and Coolkat - loads of hugs to you. Am so sorry for all that you're going through. Just so damn unfair.

I for one will be very pleased to see the back of 2007. it hasn't been the happiest of years for a number of reasons.

But Kitty, am so pleased for you that the scan went ok. Hope that you're feeling better today. You just sound absolutely knackered if you slept for 13 hours.

Splish and TJuice- we might be in same part of the country? Am hoping to get DD1 into Surbiton High when she's 11. Think Sutton High might be a little too far to send her....or not if she turns out to be a hellish teenager

JustJules - great news about your figures. Have to admit to not really being up to scratch... but am assuming that the higher the better?

Had a HUGE cry this weekend. Needed to really grieve for lost baby, which is hard to do when you have 2 other kids, a house and husband to look after. Admited to DH that I felt like complete failure because of m/c. He was v supportive and said that whenever I felt ready we could try again. Am still very scared though so we'll see how I feel after Christmas.

Christmas decs go up in our house this w/e because DD1 at her dad's last w/e. I'm also taking her to see The Snowman in central London on Saturday (just the 2 of us) and then we're all off to Hyde Park's Winter Wonderland on Sunday with both of them. Just LOVE LOVE LOVE christmas.

hi
Jules and Aqua thinking of you, it is horrid indeed.
just been calling the hospital to arrange for second scan and being given the run around, well they already have a written complaint going in from last week, useless people.

I do so enjoy channelling anger

Hey jules - hmmm don't you ever look back longingly to the days when you didn't know what a cycle was and you didn't check your pants every time you visit the loo - there are no taboo subjects chez pops anymore - brown stuff is good news though as is old blood so means the bleeding has stopped

ooh didn't get to see these posts - is a weird system now where you have to move through pages and my brain just isn't getting it

Hi ronny so fab to hear from you - aother MC F*CK! poor you - I haven't tested since June when I had that weird one and feel very proud of myself (and saving shit loads of money too ) - still having 40 day cycles so think that is just normal for me.
Anyhoo I'm hoping that not trying is going to be more successful than trying IYSWIM - we got ourselves into such a state that we were all shagged out by the time it was really time to do it

Hi ALBS and EllieG so fab to hear about you ladies - and nh having TWINS bloody hell i turn my back for a few months and you're all dropping like flies!!

Hi everyone else - coolkat sorry you have to be here but you are amongst friends at least and no one is going to say these things happen for a reason

How are you today Jules?

Hi all,

Not been here since Wednesday due to lunatic working schedule.

Felt very grand dresssed up as a victorian lady... wish the weather had played along though!!!

So sorry to see new faces, but welcome to you and you will get loads of support here.

My only news is that my waiting for AF post mc is finally over. 53 days!!! I am now on CD3 and wearing my huge bridget jones knickers.

Emotionally I feel all over the place at the moment. Scared that I left it too late to start ttc etc etc. Hey ho. I'll get over it!

Just eaten half a bar of dairy milk, so hopefully it'll kick in soon.

Cheers Ellie, we had a great first anniversary. We were child free for the night, which is heavenly.
Before you all lynch me I love both DDs with all my heart and desparately want another. But sometimes it is beautiful to have time where you are not rushing children to bed while arguing about brushing teeth. The very best thing was waking up and not listening to screaming from DD2 because DD1 hasnt given her the right spoon to eat her breakfast with!
I am eating sweets now so Im sure TEW is coming. At least my cycle is the same 27days as last month. Feels a bit more normal, since MC in March I was having 24 day cycles.

It comes to something when all you can think about it how much you want to get some wee sticks. We've all been there though hon...
Hope you had a nice anniversary x

POPSY Welcome back. We have missed you. It has been a very long 5 months. How are you honey. Is life treating you better? I had another mc in Oct. I was pregnant for a very grand 4 days!!

JULES That is blimin brilliant. I am doing a little dance around my kitchen for you. Make sure you take it very easy and dont over do it young lady! (Nurse head on then).

Coolkat You need to watch how much you are bleeding & the level of pain you are in. If it gets bad then get back to doctors as you may need ERPC. It takes a long time to emotionally get over a MC as you can see from the lunatics on this thread. Always say what you feel and never worry about offending anyone because we have all been there at some point.

ALBS Pleased you had a great time at the child free wedding. It is good to get away and be just an adult sometimes.

Sorry to dissapoint you ladies but there will be no live testing from me this month.
I still havent bought any wee sticks (yipeeee), which for me is a massive step in the right direction, away from the insane asylum . However I also think that TEW is on her way. I have had the usual cramps down my leg and also a bit of post BD bleeding at the weekend. It was our anniversary so I gave DH a treat. No actual bleeding yet so we shall see!

Ha look at me pretending to be all grownup and positive. I really want to buy wee sticks. Some body help me I am crazy.

Hi coolkat - so sorry to hear about what happened.
I stopped bleeding quite quickly after my MC, but was missed on and had D&C so don't know if that makes a difference. Took it easy physically for a couple of weeks and then body was pretty much back to normal. Was a complete loon for much longer, but that takes more time.

Sorry to hear you are going through this. Was it your first pregnancy?

Hi Ladies

Thanks twilight for directing me here. My god how horrible is this, the waiting, the knowing but having nothing confirmed.

I was in hospital yest with bad stomach cramps and blood loss, lots of clot like things sorry - tmi

Doctor not scanned me as waiting blood results although its quite obvious its over.

Anyway I have never experienced this before. I was about 8 weeks and had really thickned around my middle and I certainly had not been over eating, if anything the opposite. How long til I stop bleeding and my body returns to normal?

Thanks Ladies, sorry to read about all your hard times although it seems there are a few happy ones as well.

Aquababe - (((((hugs))))) to you.

Thinking of you jules, great about your hcg levels - hope it keeps up xxx

HELLO to popsy! Have posted on the other thread too, but is SOOOO nice to hear from you. We've missed you lady x Congrats on new job, clever person.

Aquababe Fingers crossed for you.

aquababe thinking of you, it all sounds so unfair, hope you get answers soon.

TS - shopping IS my hobby, since I have been grounded the past week all the Christmas plans have gone to pot so I now have a long catch up list to do was going to visit my friend and her newborn on Saturday but wasn't up to it so hopefully will squeeze a visit in before Christmas (she's over an hour away) got decorations up, need to finish cards and buying presents, got nearly everyones apart from DPs always leave him to last

sfxmum - glad you had a restful weekend it's what you need right now, I think physically thres some stages (there was for me) there was the end of the mc bleeding, then first AF after the mc, then it's back to ttc. Emotionally things don't quite go like that but although I still think of things every day it is getting easier now I'm pregnant again but I always think this baby is only here because it's brother or sister didn't make it, sorry am getting a bit depressing now, better go x

justjules I really hope everything works out for you. When I started bleeding the dr prescribed me cyclogest as it keeps the uterus relaxed, it sounds as if it would be ideal for you and worth asking about. When is your next scan?
