Just MC'd. Starting it all again.. Come and join me for the long haul, vol 2

Hi ladies, just popping in quickly to say hello. Welcome effilump, so sorry to hear about your mc Feel free to unload on us at any time, seriously! We've got a pretty good support group going here.

MrsR, good to hear such a positive outlook on ttc. (and ov straight away ! ) You too cheepz, it's nice to think of the new year as a new start.

Have to say (after reading your comments on overindulging lee and louise ) that I've been charting everthing under the sun this month, and have found that I'm drinking much more than I've let on to my doc (or even myself for that matter). I like to report a couple of drinks each night, but according to my chart, I need two hands to count my daily drinks ...so I've cut back yesterday and today. [mustlayoffthesauceemoticon]

Sooo...here's to a bit healthier 2ww

Hello everyone!
Waves to the newbies.

Sorry not been around for ages, I've been a bit rubbish for not posting.
DH and I have been trying to do the deed at the proper times this month, but I think we've missed the most important day!
DH put the I-period app on my I-phone - it's a bit girly and coy, and pink flowers pop up on the screen when it's the best time to conceive!

Congrats to Meita - fantastic news!!!

Hi All

Still lurking!

My cycle finally seems to be settling to 30 days now - about time, as 12 months since MC .

Congrats to Meita and hello to others new to group, sorry to hear your news.

Am hoping for BFP soon. Have just arranged big holiday in 9 months time for DHs 40th, so tempting fate big time

Morning

Welcome effilump I'm so sorry you miscarried. I miscarried on 17th November, I should have been 10 weeks but was told the baby stopped growing at around 5-6 weeks. DH and I started TTC straight away and I'm now in the 2WW. A BFP on Christmas Day would be the best Christmas present ever.

Trying not to wind myself up, but I'm already telling myself I'm pregnant .

Got a positive ovulation test on 11th December and have since had lots of cervical mucus - mainly sticky and clear/cloudy and aching to the lower abdomen.

Anyway gotta go, DS has woken up.

Can I join you? started to mc last week, thought I was 10wks, scan showed baby stopped growing at around 7.Gutted. So now we want to ttc as soon as possible. Im 40 on my next birthday so dont want to hang around!

... at least she had the decency not to keep me waiting this month, AF arrived as expected yesterday morning, can you believe i was not disappointed? I don't know what is going on with my emotions at the moment, it is almost like it has all got too much and I am switching off.... self protection perhaps

had been putting pressure on myself to be pregnant by christmas and now thats not going to happen I almost feel relief. lots of people i have been talking to said when they were trying it was only when they stopped trying so hard it all happened so i think thats what i need to do. Cycle 5 - it only took 3 to get pregnant before mc and none with ds so maybe its the pressure thats making it worse.

anyway have updated the list for Monday

hope everyone is doing well, especially meita - have everything crossed for you

Oh good iys not only me thats over indulged then LEE ha ha..

Hi to everyone else.. managed first BD since last weeks CP soo another hurdle out of the way.Got to fit another BD in tomorrow night in between getting in from work and going out for a meal!!!!!!

Should be fun.... Off back to x factor now .

helloo where are you all gone

i hear your pain louise i was at my xmas do on friday too i died a death yesterday.. was slightly in the doghouse with DH as was away last weekend and hungover this weekend!

i have stopped worrying about whether i havve conceived this month. i always get implantation cramps or bleeding and i am on cd28 of a 32 day cycle and nothing so think i'm ok for this month. to be honest im relieved as we hadnt planned to start trying again plus there's xmas and my 30th in a couple weeks so its all good. it'll be a different story in the new year when i'll be all anxious to conceive!

hope you are all well x

WOW congrats MEITA yeh.....fingers crossed

I m soo hungover works "do" last night was excellant but of course i had far too much to drink!!!!

Got pos on ovulation sticks today soo back to it.....

Hi to SUBURN its crap isn t it? In the last year i ve had 1 MC,1MMC and 1 chemical pregnancy and like you quite often feel like a major failure that my body is unable to perform the most simple of "womanly" roles.I hope you get the help you need wheter its counselling or some alternative....

Hi to everyone else hope all having a nice weekend just chilling now watching "x factor" go OLLY go!!!

Chamo great to hear you are into the second trimester congrats!!

glasgow I know nothing about temps but meita is your girl to ask about those, i never knew much about it til i heard her talking about it and it must be accurate because she knew this month way before she could test as a result of the temps!!

sunburn my heart breaks for you its so hard i cant imagine your pain. ive "only" had two mcs and that was awful enough so you must just feel like the world is against you. have you had any investigations? You are like me in that you have had a healthy child so it is eeven more confusing. the only thing i found which a lot of drs dont test for is that my B12 level is low and apparently that can cause mcs.

meita - oooh a clearblue!!! additional congrats.. i dont know what to make of all your symptoms i know that with all three of my pregnancies (including that of my little girl) i had all sorts of aches, pains, digestive discomfort etc and i also had times where i was perfectly fine. so fingers crossed this is just par for the course. will you be able to get an early scan? that would only be a couple weeks away..

mrsrigby hope you havent killed any in-laws!

Hello

glasgow85 I'm currently watching In The Night Garden!

Symptoms of something, today include:

• snotty/runny nose;
• dull aching to the lower left AND right abdomen;
• highly irritating DH and DS;
• smelly vagina - smells like when you have a period (I've washed and I can still smell it from 3 rooms away).

Right, I'll be back later. Got the grandparents coming around (really looking forward to that), have baked the gluten free cookies ready and tidyed up (aren't I a good little daughter-in-law). Now just need to take DS for a drive (well DH is driving because I can't - haven't learnt how to and don't want to) as he's refusing to sleep and we need him to otherwise he'll be in a foul mood when they come around and I'm already going to incur the rath of the mum-in-law as we brought a real tree.

DH's nagging, gotta go.

Hi everyone thanx for the welcome. Well today i feel really stupid ended up testing today with first response of course it was negative. I jus thought there might have been a chance ive had sore boobs all week and a few sharp crampy pains . I also had a metalic taste in my mouth a couple of days ago in work . Proably all in my mind. I just thought when i got a positive on my opk on the 28th nov 2 weeks after m/c my af should arrive 14 days later which is this sunday . I couldnt wait and tested early . Hopefully my af will arrive soon so i know what my body is up too. Reading through the threads i noticed a lot of you'z chart your temperture can anyone tell me more about this opk's are quite expensive. I feel so stupid and a bit down today need to tidy up the house and im sitting watching repeats of jermy kyle he's got me glued to the tv. Oh how i spend my day off .

quick one - am trying to not be quite so obsessed at the mo and being here a little less helps, am knackered alot having to work rathr than laze around on holiday

all normal here, ds has cough and fever so fully medicated but expect to be woken up at 3am, dh is at the pub with mates having a normal friday night, my cbfm says AF is due which is early, but ties in with late AF last month and early ovulation this month - i think it measures days post peak for estimating when AF due and I feel a little PMS ish so wouldn't be surprised to have a visitor before the end of the weekend

meita still so delighted for you and chamo nice to hear all is well

sunburn heart aches for you honey and can't imagine what you must be going through.

mrsr keep em coming ...'so full of semen he will have to get up in the night' lmao

Sorry, just updating my details.

Hello

meita it's funny you should mention that if we conceive today that we might get a BFP on Christmas Day - I've just taken one of those ovulation sticks and according to that I should ovulate within 24-36 hours. Slight problem though, DH is down in London tonight and not back until tomorrow afternoon. I take a little comfort in the fact that we had sex last night and supposedly sperm stay around for up to 5 days. That and the fact that I'm going to force DH to have sex with me again tomorrow.

• had a bit of breast tenderness today (admittedly DS was poking them at the time);
• lower left abdominal discomfort and a heavy feeling;
• runny nose (DS has also got a snotty nose)

DH has just telephoned, he left his return train ticket here and so will have to buy another tomorrow - first class

sunburntats I'm so, so sorry. It's so cruel what's happened to you and I've absolutely no idea what to say. I miscarried at home also at 10 weeks (heartbeat stopped at 6), I went to the toilet, wiped and on the tissue was a perfect oval shape slightly smaller than a golf ball. DH and I will never, ever forget that sight.

Yup am past the 12 week mark now! Haven't joined any other boards yet, am happiest loitering around here still. Am just beginning to believe this one might be a keeper and suppose I might have to start telling people in RL before they start asking me if I've had a boob job!
Still grinning on your behalf here!

Chamooooo good to hear from you! Is everything ok over in chamo-land? Hey, just did some sums, you must be past the scary 12-weeks mark by now!

Did you join any pregnancy board thread? Or are you just muddling through on your own?

Sunburntats, really sorry for you. 5 MCs, that sounds like pure hell. You must be such a strong woman to go through that. Please take care of yourself.

*Tetley, I noticed you are not on the list. Want on?

Runfor, tigerbear, you two still reading this? Any news?

My fingers are crossed in knots for all of you coming up to testing next week - Lee, cheepz, MrsR perhaps, Jollster, BB - lets get a pre-Christmas wave of BFPs. And then a Christmas-itself second wave (isn't there always a after-wave with tsunamis?) with TFLS, Zayja, Tigger and Cake. And everyone else will just have to conceive at christmas. Except for *Tetley who will be away from her DH. Maybe reconsider that re-booking the flight thing? ;)

Meita fabulous news! SO pleased for you! I know what you mean about not being ready for the pg boards though, it feels far safer here.
sunburn, I'm so sorry. It is terribly unfair. Look after yourself
MrsR I had that brown stuff a few weeks after I miscarried, treated it as ovulation bleeding just to be on the safe side (never had it before), and got pg! So get to work just in case

crossed posts with sunburn really sad for you, have you been able to get in touch with your consultant? I hope they are able to find out what's wrong, in the meantime please,please be kind to yourself, you have lots of support on here xx

meita so happy for you, sending loads of sticky, positive vibes, take each week/day as it comes...... xx

Hi im back.
Mc number 5 on Wednesday just gone. Got to 10 weeks this time with a heart beat at 7 weeks, so i have actually lost a baby this time . (blighted ovums previous mcs)

I am struggling to cope with it tbh. I am so desperately sad, and bereft. Just cant fathom the unfairness of it all.

Pain was unbelievable, they gave me morphine and gas and air, which didnt really help that much. had contractions every 5 minutes through out the night, eventually passed the baby which fell onto the floor of the toilet. I was distraught. It just came away onto the floor as i was trying to sit on the toilet. I had to pick it up and put it into the bedpan.

5 miscarriages. I am uterly incapable of doing this like every other normal woman in this world does with little or no effort it seems to me.

I do everything right, everything to make things right to grow a healthy baby. We are ready, we will be fantastic parents, ds will be a great brother. he will be 7 in the summer, the age gap will be huge if ever we are blessed with another child.
How much pain can one person have thrown at them?

Hi ladies!

I'm glad my news managed to put smiles on your faces! Sitting here at my desk, thinking that there are women out there all over the country & world, happy for me It's such a nice change from worrying about "when are we going to tell people?" and not allowing ourselves to be too excited for fear of it all going wrong again.

Did a CB digital this morning and it said "2-3 weeks" - according to my reckoning I'm between 4+1 and 4+3 so that sounds about right.

On the other hand, I've had some quite bad cramping and pains today and immediately afterwards the general background feeling of nausea that I have been starting to become used to, just vanished. Also, yesterday my fingers and tongue went all numb for about half an hour followed by a headache - am thinking it must have been a migraine - but aren't migraines supposed to stop when you are pg? So, am quite worried at the moment. In a way it feels as if we were still TTC - I'm still charting my temps for instance, as my last MC was (in hindsight) signalled by a drop in temps and that way at least I would have some warning. So in a way it is like, before the BFP we had about 20% chances of having a baby that cycle, now it's about 70% chances, so it is kind of like a gradual change, unlike the sudden, momentous and huge "wow, we are having a baby and the whole world has just changed"-feeling we had back in July.

I guess you have noticed by now that I am utterly failing at my attempt to remain calm...

DP acts as if he's also torn between excitement and reluctance to risk being hurt again. He had a big day on Tuesday - when we got the first faint second line - and had his picture taken to go on the front page of his university's homepage. On that pic there is a big smile all over his face. He said that when they were taking it, he was thinking "Meita is pregnant!"

So, it is two weeks to Christmas today. I'm just hoping that I'll still be pg by then. Oh, and I think this thread deserves LOTS more BFPs before then. There are quite a few of us who could still get this wonderful Christmas present - go go go everyone! If you conceive TODAY, you could get your BFP on Christmas day!

Evening

Firstly, boodleboot I'm sorry, I really thought you were going to tell us you got a BFP.

And, congratulations meita . So happy for you and a little .

Welcome glasgow85 I miscarried on 17th November and started TTC straight after the bleeding stopped on 25th November. I'm winding myself up at the moment, thinking I'm pregnant. Going to look VERY silly when AF comes for a visit.

Nothing much to report here, will be having sex in about 30 minutes. Can't really be bothered, too tired, but if I don't then I definately won't get pregnant. Besides once DH has seen to me, I'll be so full of semen that he'll have to get up to see to DS during the night - so worth the trauma.

John Lewis (the store) has pissed me off. Brought DH some whisky and glasses for Christmas. Had problems ordering online, so had to phone. Gave the woman all of MY details and 2 hours later they email DH with confirmation of the order. So DH know's 1 thing he's getting for Christmas. Instead of using the details I gave them, they chose to use previous details at this address - my DH. Really pissed off. DH is not easy to buy for, he's very ungrateful and basically a scrooge (though he likes Christmas).

Yey Meita! Chuffed to bloody bits for you! What top news. I have everything crossed for you that this is a sticky bean. What a fab Christmas present. You must stick around otherwise who is going to update the matrix and give us all sensible grounded advice!

Glasgow sorry to hear about your m/c. You've come to the right place.

bigmutha congrats! What lovely news for you too. Fingers crossed it's a sticky one. So exciting to hear all this positive news

We used preseed this month on the key days and now i've got big sore boobs and bouts of nausea. Not getting my hopes up though as this has happened before on the lead up to AF. 8 days and counting.

Hello to everyone else and sorry for those of you that the witch got.
