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 sfxmum - hope you're feeling ok? Lots of people don't wait for a full cycle to start ttc again. As long as you feel physically well, there isn't a major problem with trying again asap- doctors generally advise you to wait so you can date your pregnancy accurately, I think. Personally, I have waited two cycles to start trying again (this is my first cycle of ttc since m/c) as I don't think I could have coped with the highs and possible lows of another pregnancy so soon afterwards. but each to their own. Good luck! xx

Hi all

Kasha sorry no wise words regarding chart

loveangel sorry about driving test, hope you feel better soon

this post mc AF has been heavy, dh is under strict instructions to be accountable for contraceptioneven if I try to persuade him otherwise in a couple of weeks.
I really feel, rationally speaking that we should wait at least another normal cycle

Hey ladies & ladettes. Been away from the conception boards for a while, but back in the swing of things and started ttc baby no.2 this month after October 07 m/c. Feeling despondent and down about it (trying to be positive, but it's hard...). Been so physically unwell since m/c, it's hard to be all smiley and energetic right now. Also feeling very sorry for myself as I failed my driving test this morning - totally unrelated, I know, but has added to general 'UnHappy New Year' feeling!
Ah well...onwards and upwards. Hope everyone else is ok and let's hope for lots of lovely BFPs and good news in 2008.

Happy New Year everyone! Welcome back lilypink, hope everyone else is OK.

Still no sign of my first post-ERPC AF here . I've been feeling very PMS-y for about 10 days (poor DH ) but nothing yet apart from some tiny spotting on NY day. I'm slightly concerned as Fertility Friend thinks I ovulated on Dec 16th, which was 19 days ago, although I haven't been charting my temperature every day so not sure how reliable that is. We certainly weren't planning to ttc until after at least one normal AF, but there was an occasion where DH and I became overwhelmed by Festive Spirit so I guess there's a small chance I could be up the duff. Not at all sure I'm ready to cope with that at the moment... especially as I'm still waiting for the results of my clotting blood tests.

Are there any charting gurus who'd like to take a look at my chart? Should I go and get a test?

Hello everyone, I have posted on various names of this thread before, but have been quiet for a while. I think a recognise some of the names from before. A quick plotted history 1dd who is 18 months and 2 m/c since July 2007. Now trying AGAIN. And although only first cycle I feel totally fed up. I am used to the whole obsessive knicker watch once I know I am pg. But now I have gone and learnt about checking CM as a way of determining fertility and when to BD. it just seems like my life is just totally revolving around what is in my pants??!!

Anyway enough about me. Happy NewYear to everyone, lets hope 2008 is a good one eh?!

hi everyone and happy new year!
hope you are all doing well.

just a quickie, as i am so knackered (still).

but just wanted to check in and say hey.

Happy New Year everybody - let's hope 2008 brings BFPs for all of us.
Sfxmum it's always good to know that your body is getting back to normal after your mc, although I was secretly hoping for a BFP that first month and was disappointed when it didn't happen. Still, got to stay positive as you say. Good luck with the OPKs this month.
I have my first acupuncture session booked for next Tuesday and I'm hoping it will help with ttc. I know a number of people on MN who have had BFPs after acupuncture so here's hoping.
Hope everybody else is OK. xx

hello ladies hope you are all well and optimistic for the New Year, it is the only way to go I guess

My first AF post mc arrived today, which I find reassuring in a way. got some Ovulation sticks and will be using them this month but only for charting I think.

tale care all

Happy new year all! Hoping that 2008 brings you good health and happiness x

hello ladies, just a quick one coz have no internet at home at the mo and am at my mums, just want to wish you all a happy new year!!

Happy New Year all.

Haven't been around for a while. Was just finding news of people having to join us too sad and also had to do xmas stuff. Literally had to ban myself from Internet entirely !

Looks like everyone has been busy as pretty quiet but glad to hear pg ladies are hanging on in there. The days keep going by.

Hello everybody.

I hope you all had a great Christmas. I hope Santa was very kind to you all.

Hi Ele, so sorry to hear about your mc and sorry you've had to find us IYSWIM. However, you'll find plenty of support on here so welcome.
As far as ov'ing etc is concerned after a mc, everybody is different. Some ladies on here ov'd very quickly, for others it took longer. Some had AF very quickly and for others it took longer too. I can understand you wanting to get back to ttc as quickly as possible (I was the same!) but make sure you also give yourself time to recover from the mc. There is a lot of useful info here I certainly found the site very helpful in the early days.
Hope everybody else is OK? It's been very quiet around here the past few days! Hopefully you all had a good Christmas - we certainly did and we're still eating left-overs!
Verso Great news about your appointment with the consultant.

Hi congrats to everyone whos pregnant

I had a D and c on the 16th Dec. I started bleeding on the 14th when i thought i was 13 weeks but after a scan the next day after i went to the hospital i found out the baby had stopped growing between 8 and 9 weeks. i was called 3rdontheway this is my new name. i know its only coming up to 2 weeks and i have no idea when im going to ovulate or when my next period is i want to be back on the boards.

hi all

good news Verso, hope it all goes well

just keeping this on my active convos.
not much to report looking forward to New Year, might even be awake at midnight but probably reading a book

Hello everyone - just to let you know I've got my appt through to see the consultant - the week after next!!! Am so relieved. I know he may not have any answers, but at least I'll get the results of the bloods and it feels as though it's positive progress. Happy Christmas, everyone!

Hello Everyone- hope you all have a lovely christmas and here's wishing that 2008 is a good year for all of us

Hi everyone

quick hello to wish you all a Merry Christmas

we are soon to hit the motorway (oh the joy) spending Christmas oop north

take care all

Hello everyone - my family are coming up this afternoon for a week so this will be my last post before Christmas.

So ..... HAPPY CHRISTMAS

I will be thinking of all you who are miscarrying at the mo, trying to get pregnant, trying to stay pregnant and the lucky ones who are just pregnant. I hope the 2008 is a good year for all of us!

Lcy xx

hi ladies I'm about 11+1 weeks today not had any bleeding for 7 whole days am hoping thats a good sign surely if anything was wrong I would have continued to bleed? Also have a bump and my pubic area has gone hard too, still feeling sick loads though. I read of mc association website that if you get a hb at 8 weeks you have a 98% chance of going to term at 10 weeks it is 99.something %, good odds ladies.

Got appointment through for first antenatal and it's 23rd January when I will be 16 weeks I am doesn't mention anything about a scan and I was hoping for one next week. I am going to phone MWs direct tomorrow and beg for a scan, I don't know if this baby is dead or alive and they are just leaving me to it. I am so bloody cutbacks, I get one sodding scan no nuchal fold test nothing. Sorry am a bit angry tonight.

jules - those days are ticking by for you, hang on in there, I am thinking of you every day x

Lcy - am for you too I am thinking about a private scan too if they won't scan me soon, it's bloody terrible the waiting and not knowing.

hello to everyone else hope you are all hanging on in there and all your Christmas preps are going well xxx

Lcy congratulations on hb and DH's thesis!

Welcome wannabamummy, you'll get lots of support here!

Tjuice hope you are now tucking into fish and chips!

And hello everyone else

I had my hospital appointment this morning - not really much to report. I had a full internal examination (what fun ) and a good chat, but with the registrar rather than the consultant. I've had bloods taken to test for clotting, but not for hormones as she said that they no longer recommend metformin against mc as the latest research shows it's ineffective. Has anyone else been told this? She didn't sound like she was fobbing me off but I'm going to check Medline anyway. So no great results but tbh I'm just pleased that I've been seen, quickly, on the NHS and that they've been reasonably helpful and supportive (unlike my GP grrr ).

Not the Purley Way! I live near there!!! lol what a small world, eh?

Not much else to report except enjoying the wind-down to Christmas at work and managing to stay relatively calm the past couple of days. No doubt it will hit me again at some point though...

I know what you mean about the medical advice from in laws! Mother in law is a nurse and thinks talking about whether we had sex before i started bleeding is an appropriate conversation at the dinner table
