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

Hi all

I have also read that Mrs R and seen so many examples of it among friends and friends of friends that I think there is either lots of truth in it or everyone who has an mc keeps trying straight away as they are desparate to get pg and we only hear of those who fall pg immediately? All sounds good to me though. Well done on the win, are you keeping it from the press?!?

Good luck TFLS - fingers crossed for you!

Tetley am with you on the whole quandry thing......WOOHOO some good news for me today which makes the quandry more real - AF restarted post mc. Been feeling v odd and v sore boobs but felt too early for AF as only 3 weeks since major loss but must be the case as scan completely clear. Got more pain unlike usual AF but kind of expected it given what I've read. Did you all have that with first one?

I am now thinking, given other recent health issues and strong antibiotics, do I completely recover, relax, have a few Xmas drinks and get well for a detox in Jan when we can start again or do I go for it, not waste any eggs or time and have a potential August baby (similar issues Tetley)????

Am currently pondering this over a glass of vino. Anyone else in the same boat?? I am v happy to be back in this boat though and feel lucky that AF arrived so soon.

Meita I will update my stats later, thanks for that.

Hi All,

I keep reading that too Mrs R, about fertility being higher straight after mc and i really can't decide whether to go for it again straight away ie as soon as my body decides it's not pregnant anymore! I'm on day 16 post mc and i just got back my hcg level of 182 from the hospital. I think you're pregnant if you're over 25?

I'm in a quandary because on one hand i really don't want an august baby (family reasons, v long story), on the other I'm 42!! And waiting a full month without doing anything seems like madness and really tempting fate!! What to do?

TFLS is being very quiet....let's hope no news is good news

Hmmm it seems the list is a bit difficult to fix! I've tried the intuitive approach and added some days to some people and less to others - over all I suppose everyone will just have to check theirs and correct it if necessary (or wait until the next AF and it will correct itself)

boodle i hope your DS is well recovered and you are not coming down with it too! Though they do say it is highly infectious, so it is quite likely you will get it too. However, it treats different people very differently, with some suffering terribly and others hardly noticing that they have it. So here's me hoping that you are of the latter group!

TFLS any news re AF? A little drop in temperature doesn't really mean anything. On the other hand, a steep drop almost always means that AF is imminent. Hoping you're warm!

Yaaaay MrsR on winning the Euromillions!

There has been so much happening here recently, I don't think I can catch up - though I HAVE been faithfully reading. I will talk to everyone later on and just hope that you are all doing well.

Thursday

Evening

Just found out that we've won the EuroMillions ... £18.00!

DH is on his best behaviour tonight, he's not eating as much as normal (sex isn't going to happen on a full stomach), no alcohol (he doesn't really drink that much anyway) and he's being nice to me. So tonight is the night .

I've been doing a lot of surfing on the internet re miscarrage and it seems that following a miscarrage, your more fertile than usual - for about 3 months. There are loads of women posting on various sites that they've got pregnant again 2-3 weeks following a miscarrage.

Has anyone heard about this or even better experienced it for themselves?

Yes, I'll get pregnant, it's just a case of when - and thats the killer isn't it.

Regarding the swine flu jab, theres no way I'm getting it. It's not been tested (only similar vaccines have been tested) and not enough is known about it. That said, it's been routinely given to all my colleagues at the hospital so I don't know.

boodleboot you really go through it all don't you, poor you and your son. Poor thing. Hope he's doing better and you get a break. I've got my fingers crossed that your the next BFP, you deserve it.

We all do.

i think i may be a witch - i ask a question about swine flu jab and my son comes down with it the next day....its been very worrying....he is only five and has been soooo poorly. His temp last night rose to nearly 105 degrees....NHS direct said that we just had to ride it out and after getting tamiflu into him it has come right down but man, what a frightening situation to be in....knowing that no ambulance will come and take your child as hospitals are not admitting swine flu victims, hideous...

still, he is much cooler today and not delirious anymore....infact other than bright red cheeks and candlestick snot you wouldn't really know there was much wrong with him

really hoping not to go down with it myself after my continuous exposure for the last 48 hours....fingers crossed it passes me by...don't want to get bloody pig flu on my first 2ww now do i.....especially as i am feeling ultra excited and ultra confident this month {give it another week and i'll be cacking my pants as usual }

good new re the scan tetley fingers i had one session of acupuncture and fell pregnant that cycle last time with my EP...that and Preseed....first cycle i had used that too...have been using preseed this month as so far for me it has had 100percent success rate hee hee...

meita - clearly your administration skills are badly needed on this thread....our list seems to have gone to pot since your parents came, never have we been so disorganised

Hi all,

TFLS, sorry to hear you think AFs on it's way, let's hope you're wrong. All i can say is the month i did pregnant (briefly!)i had classic usual cramps for about 3 days before and 4 days after AF was due

Fingers glad you're feeling better.

Well I had another scan this morning and just as i hoped all seems to be well - the scan looked like a very foggy field...weirdly empty...but in a positive way i hasten to add! So now just waiting for the hcg result which i'll get back on thursday.

Oh and congrats to Apples.

I had the swine flu jab last night. I got offered it for the underlying medical condition reason. I was asked if I was pg and told them I was ttc and she went ahead. Probably seeing the run of luck I'm having at the moment I will turn out to be pg and then it will all go horribly wrong as a consequence. Then again I made the decision based on risk to me and the rest of my family and as a seasoned refuser of normal flu jabs.

Is my cd right in the list? I thought AF came on 29/10 and that puts me a bit further along. I got a positive on the OPK on CD13 and we BD on CD12 and 13 and DH was away on business for next 2 nights. It all looks right but I have a feeling in my gut that it's just not going to happen. Or maybe it's a desire for that nice chilled peroni in the fridge.....

Back to childminder problems which I keep on thinking could have been resolved if only I hadn't mmcd as I would have been close to maternity leave. Must find a good list of jokes to uplift spirits.

Hi

Thanks for asking TFLS, lots better although v odd side effects from antibiotics! Will book her again but not til 100% fit as don't want to risk that again!! On the point though, a v good friend of mine tried for 6 months TTC #2 at 39 - no joy. 1 session with this acupuncturist and next month BFP! Just reached her 12 week scan all ok! Gives me hope

Re swine flu I agree Meita and I asked for it now for that very reason (plus asthmatic and had pneumonia earlier this year) - however I am apparently not on the at risk list so will have to wait for the next wave and see what they say. It's a really tough one for us all I think.

Louise enjoy Bruges and Happy Birthday!!

Hey all, just a quick note as have little time.

Great to hear about your BFP apples! Sending you lots of sticky vibes.

So sorry MrsR, and cheepz. Lee, good to hear from you, though that is one very sad story.

Regarding Swine Flu, I thought you can't have the jab in the first trimester of pregnancy. I know it's like that in Switzerland, but maybe it's different in the UK? I for one have been thinking it would be good to get the jab now when it can't hurt the foetus, rather than risk getting the flu during the first three months of pregnancy, or if I don't, potentially risk harming the baby by getting the jab in the second trimester.

But so far pregnancy is looking faaaar off anyway. Little is happening in the way of ovulation, and I've started to feel a bit blasé about it all. Was away in Switzerland for some work and had my parents over just after, that's why I have been so silent... busy times!

Got to run, will check in later, hope everyone is reasonably well!

updated for me as i seemed to have lost a day somewhere along the line....

Hi all

Tetley good luck tomorrow, glad you are feeling more chilled. I really feel like I finally turned a corner today getting a BFN but it took almost 3 weeks (sorry can't remember your time line) following a natural loss. Never thought I could be so happy for having a BFN!! So onwards and upwards waiting for AF now....

LeeWT so sorry to hear about yhour tragic news, you're right about being grateful for what we have.

On the subject of swine flu, I was also very sceptical re the effect on the foetus and, when previously pg didn't want it. However, my BIL is a Doc and has seen 2 pg women in intensive care being ventilated - they have managed to deliver the babies but the women sadly died. Given I have asthma too I have now decided that the benefits outweigh the risks in light of those tragic stories (of course hoping for a BFP first though!!).

As for caffeine, I do love a cuppa too! With my ds I didnt know I was pg for 5 weeks and had LOADS of red wine on hols in Italy for 5 days in a row plus strong coffees - no ill effects on DS. Needlees to say I was v worried though. I then cut out all caffeine til the 3rd trimester when I had weak tea and the odd glass of wine. With the last pg I was like a saint, virtually no caffeine at all since ov, and no alcohol at all - then I mc'd!

Despite this and my love of both, I think I will try my best to stop both from ov when I restart TTC just to be on the safe side. If I manage to get to 12 weeks I think I will take the same approach as last time, in moderation etc.. Apparently the best decaf coffee you can have when pg is the Taylors of Harrogate one where the caffeine is extracted with water not chemicals (I promise I am not on commission!!) ;)

ha tetley another POAS addict....how wonderful....i hope you don't have to have an ERPC altho i must say when i had one in apr i recovered really quickly...

lee, hello hunny, i saw the FB stuff but didn't like to ask....gutted for her family, that is so awful. I'll pray for them

on the topic of swine flu, who of you are going to have the jab? i have been thinking yes as the last thing i want is to get PG then miscarry due to swine flu....your thoughts?

also in another vein, what do you lot reckon about caffeine? if yes, how much do you personally think is ok....if not why not?

i am officially on a 2ww wait now and it feels GOOOOOOOOOD.

Congratulations apples! That's great news

TFLS Got appointment at hospital tomorrow lunchtime for another scan and hcg test. Feeling a bit more chilled out now so even if my level's still highish I'm hopefully not going to be talked into an ERPC...We'll see!

It's odd, this feeling of hanging around waiting for time to pass, was so used to the whole build up to ov and then 2ww. Thank god they haven't invented any sticks i can PO cos i would be just to pass the time !

Really tragic story LeeWT... It must have been an absolutely heartbreaking funeral. I have to say I'm not a great worrier about dd, but meningitis really scares me to bits.

Wow folks such a lot of news hard to keep up! I've been moving house and am without broadband til the 28th but have popped in on my iPhone to see how you're all doing.

apples good job!!! Congrats and how well deserved after your long wait! Delighted for u!

mrsR darlin what can I say I know only too well the horror of losing two so close together.. Both of mine were mmc's makes it bit harder I think because you are so unaware.. Hope you're doing ok and I think it's lovely to remember the baby in the way you are doing..

cheepz what an awful tragedy so sorry to hear that..

I experienced quite an awful thing myself last wkend when i attended the funeral of a beautiful five year old little girl (ruby, my best friends sister). She was diagnosed with swine flu when she had in fact gotten meningitis by the time they realised their mistake it was too late and the poor little thing had no brain function. It's been on the news a lot in Ireland but please bear it in mind those of you with children. That tragedy has really put things in perspective for me an am trying to appreciate what I have irrespective of whether I ever manage to have another child.

Speaking of which I think I might be ready to Rey again soon but have unfortunately put on ten lbs I could I'll afford so am going to try and lose that and then maybe try after Xmas hope to be on the ttc list soon :-)

well think that's all, hi to the newcomers and hello again to everyone else xxx
