Very nervous to TTC after a miscarriage but am going for it

okay i'm so confused between two threads...i keep answering the wrong one on the wrong one!!!
george, well as soon as the bleeding stops your risk of infection drops dramatically, os if you feel like it, go ahead and have sex. we did, and i'm fine. one word of warning tho - any sex may well cause slight bleeding/spotting, Dont panic, its normal and not a sign you did it too early or anything, its usually only the first time afterwards. my leaflets from the hospital says sex is okay 'as soon as the bleeding stops' so there you go! i am also not taking any precautions, so we shall see, next cycle i will shift things up a gear and start opks more seriously, checking cm etc etc. infact next cycle i will begin to stress and dedicate my daily life to ttc!! so brace yourselves ladies
Girl - i answered the kitchen thing on the other thread, its mad here but apparently will be 'done' by the weekend. i seriously hope so, forgot how awful it is to have no space and everything stacked up in another room!!! eek! driving me crackers!
i ordered some 'extra early' pg tests today online. they measure HCG at 10, instead of the usual 20...so it tells you super early. apparently anyhow. will tell you when they arrive if they look any good or not. exciting tho. pg tests make me feel i'm one step closer you know? can we time it so we all 'graduate' together???

Think I've arrived in that limbo land too so is it OK if I join you? Bit early to actively TTC but we have decided to let nature take it's own course & see what happens.

One question though (and this is pretty critical to me being on the TTC thread!!)when can we re-start our love life? Info from hospital says when bleeding stops which it did yesterday but looks like others have been told to wait longer so I wondered what the general opinion is.

Quick hello to all ttcers from the other side! I am still in a limbo between both sites or sort of on a bridge between them alone with my stinking cold!
DQ how are you? Hope all the kitchen action is going quickly.
Bella, I totally understand the sauce, I think we all need a bit of a break after all the pressure of m/c. My first drink was delicious.

morning all
bella i wouldnt woryr about it how many people stil get pg despite being on drugs/ alcohol etc....u never know it might have made for a lucky night

Still no AF am getting fed up but i think when the tests turn up hopefully today i might test as its now 5 wks post op..i know it can take a while but i havent even got a sign...thought i did 2 weeks ago as had a little spotting but nothing since..u know what its like then part of u gets optimistic about implantaion etc i know i shouldnt and its very unlikely but....sigh i dont know
take care all i am taking DS to a indoor play thing this morning so hopefully will get really tired andbe zonked for rest of day as dh is on long day

why are we soooo quiet today? i'm kinda sad without you all posting lots

Bella - that is a real bargain! I will certainly take a look once I have used up my current stash!!! I sound like a druggie! And of course part of me hopes I won't need to buy anymore!

cheers dqueen and bella

i wonder whether anyone else is using persona, AND using OV kits, AND charting, not to mention checking EWCM too???!! for the record, i didnt do anything before m/c, not even count days of cycle!
i've gone N-U-T-S

oh and i have ten sticks in my kit.

Romilly- my kit says to test on four or five days around O. just so you dont miss it!! gosh i'd be impatient too, what a great time of the cycle youre at... fingers crossed for you

welcome back mishi - hope AF hurries up for you

yolauralee - your BBT (temp) rises dramatically after you have ovulated so you can pinpoint 0 time as approx 24-36 hours previous to rise on your chart. obviously you have to chart for about 3 cycles before you start getting the true picture - but its v. simple to do and you also then know when you are preggers because the temp will stay high for 18 days if you are. check out the boots book that comes with the thermometer.

bella - LOL body is a pub!!! drink free-zone until friday for me now!!

quick OV test question; how many sticks do you buy and do you do more than two days around peak OV time? was gonna pick up some tonight because my persona hasnt got me sussed yet and i'm feeling impatient as on CD6, first cycle post m/c.

sellers name is tk-diagnostics

usually get items within 2 days

LOL, yes have tried body is a pub too!

Am interested in that ebay seller too, anything to save a bit of money! i do like a bargain.

chuckle.body is now a pub... v funny B.
my body is now hungry.......i think af must be soonish as i usually crve carbs and snacky stuff just before it. or maybe i'm just being greedy! (my body is now a chocolate shop......)
i drink lots of water lately...have you tried hot water? yes i'm not totally mad, mug of hot water is very cleansing and good for you. hot as in boiled first!!.
mishi, yes please on the sellers name
glad its not just me filling voids, as i write, the kitchen is bedlam...... and workmen everywhere........takeaways for dinner then!

DQ
I have bought some pg tests from ebay just wating for them to come but it was 5 for £3.50 and no p+P have used the seller before so usually good quality stuff..it was their tests i had with pip....if u want seller name i will look it up

Understand the whole filling voids thing, since M/c have volunteered to help a charity, started doing a yogalates dvd, and given up drinking anything but water. Oh and also keep making plans to redecorate every room and move house, much to the annoyance of my dh!

hey ladies good evening spent at college (photography course), no pains this week from standing up all night
mishi, hope youre feeling better. just so we can save you some energy(!) an average lady (and hey whos average....but still..) ovulates around day 14(day 1 is first day of af) if their cycle is about 28days. so you need to aim to take your o tests from around day 11 9ish) and see if you can discover when you O. i personally O late in my cycle, usually anyhow! so theres no need to Bd everyday!(sounds tiring......)
every other day is a good thing tho...if you and dh can cope! i think my dh will fade away if its not success in the next few months...hes not used to so much bd-ing!!! no sign of my af either, but i'm sure i am either O-ing or due to. not taking opks this month. 'saving them' to spur me on next month you will definately O before af shows for the first time.
Had good chat with dh tonight, about all the success stories (on the other thread i started) hes definately up for not waiting, af or not, its nice to have him so keen and in as much of a 'hurry' as me.
Girl, i'm not amazing, i'm actually abit stupid. i tend to 'fill voids' by tackling projects. sometimes i take on too much, and often i over do it and collaspe in heap. this is why dh sighed when i started making great spring clean after m/c plans, and hired someone to do kitchen. or he knew he'd come home to me wrestling a cupboard from the wall. its not a great kitchen anyways...., and i'm not 'allowed' a new kitchen as we dont intend staying here many years, so he is happy to let me move about and re-hash whats there already. my inlaws take the mickey that my house is never painted the same colours when they call round one week to the next ...
glad vats of lemsip are starting to work on terrible cold. and impressed with your tai chi skills. collecting your good karma for womb, thankyou
Yolauralee, i dont chart so not much help, go to the fertility friend website tho, they have good advice and you can run a free online chart to help you with your temps. hopefully the temping girlies will fill you in more. i think it peeks, i know whatever it does it stays there if good news...
so anyone found cheap pg tests online yet? Intend to buy masses of them..........
bella, dh is taurus, and so is my Dad. sheesh, you guys drive me crackers
night night all

DQ, you're amazing, I almost had to lie down and close my eyes in a darkened room when I read about your kitchen transformation, you know no fear!
went to tai chi tonight and had a good session absolutely exhausted now but it does make me feel much better. Thanks for asking - cold still terrible but I am beating it into submission with Great Vats of Lemsip and attacking it with the ancient oriental martial art of tai chi........ !
good karma be upon all our wombs....
