Just MC...Long haul, short haul, ranting, weeping, laughing all encouraged. Oldies and newbies very welcome

By the way I'm off the wine now - was just getting far to easy to open a bottle nearly every night and if we are going to ttc again then I need to knock it on the head.

Can i interest anyone in a glass of well known sparkling grape juice - goes by the name of shlo........

Hi all, I haven't been on for a couple of days - Dh says I'm on here too much. But he's upstairs so I've snuck on - don't tell him will you

Just wanted to ask happygirl1 when is your GP app?? If today - how did it go?? Hope you are able to try again soon.

I like the idea of instead of stupid aunt flo.

My friend at work has her 12 wk scan on Monday and is taking her young son along. I was happy for her but all i could think was thank f*ck we didn't take our boys to our scan. We had an emergency scan 3 days before I was meant to be going for the nuchal cos I had started bleeding.

Obviously we wouldn't have taken them cos things were looking bad. But all I kept thinking was imagine if they had been in the room when we found out there was no heartbeat - I got quite upset about it and am praying like mad that hers is all ok. After what I've experienced I would NEVER take my children to a scan.

I had to cancel an anti natal hosp appointment today and check that my 16 week midwife appointment had been cancelled. That was totally pants!

I said to my DH, I should be looking forward to feeling flutterings in my belly and instead it's empty and our poor little foetus has gone He is very supportive but really what can you say to that.

Made the mistake of watching my first, 'One born every minute' yesterday. In the words of Julia Roberts - "Big mistake, Huge!"

Evening all just a quick message.....please update me on list as AF arrived this morning!
Going to read posts and catch up on this thread whilst eating my dinner.

Barrenbrook, the thought had crossed my mind that the cramps may be implantation. However, I can't see how that can be possible with my BBT chart. Both times I was pregnant before there was a clear shift which remained high. This time I got an increase for about 4 days and now it has plummeted again. To be honest, it feels exactly like the onset of AF aka RTD aka .

Glad you didn't get any bad news at the docs - that is encouraging. Go for it!

Clareanna I've spent some time in LA before and completely empathise! All the women are like sticks with salon hair and perfect white teeth. Its such an artifical weird place and made me feel like a blimp - even though I was about 2 stone lighter than now!

Moofold Are you sure you haven't gone and got yourself updiffed?????!!!

Muser Glad to hear all is gradually getting back to normal matey

Allthe8s MMMMMMMM, Pass the apple cake, sounds divine!

Unbuffy Sorry you're feeling pants, get your good self well soon. I like the idea as an AF replacement and am with you on wanting to do battle with anyone/anything when shows up.

Hello to HappyGirl, Spottysox & CinnamonSwirl

So, went to Drs tonight to get it recorded that have just m/c'd again, Dr didn't seem concerned and all my blood test results came back normal. She wouldn't give me DH's swimmers result though so he has to ring tomorrow to get them. Kind of puts my mind at rest that nothing (obvious) is wrong.

I guess it's time to test the post miscarriage fertility!

Morning all- just been catching up on all the posts on my phone so apols in advance for not namechecking everyone. Hello to the new people (waves) sorry you've found yourself here but hopefully it will be a great support to you!
I will join in the post MC flubber rants- have put on weight with first pg that I never totally lost, weight left after MC and weight thanks to general WTFyness.. Am now in California (poor me winks) surrounded by tanned aerobised moms feeling like a big white jelly- problem is can't get brian to do anything about it other than whinge...
muser - glad you're finally getting somewhere
cheepz- yay!!! So excited!
Mrsg- put me off my breakfast! (who am I kidding- nothing puts me off my breakfast!)
congrats on the bfps - boo hiss to the afs (did we decide on another name? Agree af is ghastly)

To help our health kick here's some fat free egg white (!) omlettes mmmm....

Me too lassies. I usually try to stick to weightwatchers so came off that in Oct when I got BFP and immdediately put on almost a stone. Then MMC at 12 week scan in December followed by eating whatever I liked plus wine every night for 2 months = no clothes that fit. Before my scan I had got all my maternity tousers and jeans back out and was wearing those for comfort. I started to show very early due to non-existant stomach muscles being trashed by first pregnancy and C section. I made myself buy bigger size trousers as maternity clothes after MC was too depressing for words.

Today my WTF woe continues. I am producing obscene amounts of CM (hope no one is eating!) and have cramps all over. OPK still negative and temp has dipped. WTF! I am wondering how much longer I can feasibly stay at the top of the list with nothing happpening. I just want another chance to get pregnant - is that too much to ask?

I won't pass cake or wine or we'll never get into our clothes!

I also struggling with the weight gain, I'm at least half a stone over my usual weight and have tried really hard to lose it.. hoping will help.

I've been back in the gym and cut down on my food intake but shifted nothing so far!

Supposed to be working from home today, can't get motivated at all and spent most of my day planning my wedding

Slimyak another 3 mth carbicider here and 10lbs heavier than when I got Bfp. Also Mmc showing 11 at 12 weeks so snap.

Trying to be healthy but it's hard as I am comfort eater too. Give me any excuse. Have managed to shift 3lbs but that's it - sigh

slimyak - that's exactly right - carbicide . I'm about 10lb heavier than I was pre-pg, and would end up enormous if I got pg again now (like you carbs are the only thing to ease nausea).

Yes your right day one of cycle is the day the horrid AF appears.

If you can't ask a stupid question here, where can you ask - on mumsnet noone can see you !

Re above I too am a post MC porker. I had 3 months ( MMC showed at 11 wks dev on 12 week scan )of carbicide as nothing else would ease the nausea. I wasn't exactly delicate before. So now I find myself after a Christmas of necessary comfort eating and drinking, TTC about 1.5 stone over what I would like to be.

Maybe I need to kill two birds with one stone and start high impact SWI and burn some calories at the same time.

My lard retention also seems very resistant to healthy eating.

Hi All

Lots happening on this thread as normal, its great that everyone supports each other. Goodluckbear I can sympathise totally with you and your feelings with your BF and her scan. My BF at work had her booking scan last week (I would have been having mine the week before) and is full of it - and good for her Im really happy her pregnancy is going well obviously, but as we chatted about it a little ache in my heart began as I wished for what could have been.

Really stupid question but once turns up (please come soon - never thought Id say that!) how do I know when Im at day 10 of my cycle? Is that 10 days after the starts???

Thanks!

Good news Muser

I have my beta HCG levels, I'm down to 283 (from 750 last week). We're getting there. I really don't recommend ectopic pregnancy to anyone, it's so damn long.

Get well soon unbuffy. Agree Polly re the weight was just saying the same to Mummy.......

Hi Ladies, Welcome HappyGirl cinnamonswirl and Spottysox I am in early this afternoon with some Italian apple cake, made it yesterday and thought it would turn out naff but was actually delish!

mummy369 sorry you have had a few bad days, things will get better I promise and you will probably find that those few pounds will go once af (or red tide of doom - lemon I like that) rears her head, I put on about 7lbs and had horrific water retention in the run up to AF and lost all but 2lbs once af had been and gone. I had to buy new jeans which I was gutted about but I actually felt much better for buying them and much more comfy! Don't be too down you have been through a lot and a slice of choccy cake wont do you any harm, maybe go for a walk around the park later this afternoon to balance it out (my counsellor always reminds me to go for a walk when I feel shit - 20 minute walk is the best antidepressant!)

Ladies I have never used a OPK either and have a good idea when I am ov'ing and have fallen pregnant 3 times straight away. I am hoping I will be as lucky this time (although DH doesn't think it's lucky!) Although I wish I had one now because after 14 days of AF (or RDT!!!) I have no idea when I have ov'd but last night I had what I would say is Ov pains and some other signs but I am due on Saturday so thought I might be period period.......maybe I will have a WTF cycle this time .....whatever happens we want to ttc next cycle.

Hope you are feeling better GLB!

xxxx

Definitey hate af too - I cringe when I use it (on here - never in real life!).

Hope you are feeling better soon unbuffy.

mummy369 I also put on weight with pregnancy and christmas and can't fit into most of my clothes either atm. It is really depressing me, especially as the weight is proving very resistant to healthy eating.

Forgot to offer around the Lemsip and cough drops...

bordinge everyone. oouuuurgh. have gought the Dreaded Lurgy and amb suffringe in bed!!! Fortunately a) dh is home and can look after Brat A and b) Brat A is being a sweeeeetie and also slept for 2 hours this morning. Think she has been horrid lately due to Dread Lurgy and if this is how she felt then I have nothing but sympathy for her (well, I do since she's nicely out of the way with daddy and i don't have to worry.)

Feeble wave to newbies, we're good company but don't get too close to me, you might get poorly (self-pitying sigh)

Agree about af - tis smelly term and should be Dealt With. Sounds a bit like some kind of public-all-girls-boarding-school jolly-lacrosse-sticks thing. (was sent to one, so should know)

Personal suggestion, RF (Red Flag, they put them up on the army firing ranges when they are fighting to warn people to stay away. I certainly want to kill people do battle when it arrives )

Or we could just use the angry face!!! As in, arrived today...

My dh calls it painters & decorators

Oh so so so nervous. If the GP tells me not to try I'll just be devastated. only thing getting me through is the hope of trying again

Hi All,

Just updating my stats. Had a really bad few days, getting very stressed, feeling fat when I should be PG and about everything. Mr Mummy can do nothing right. I daren't plan or organise anything for fear it will go wrong. Have v. large slice of chocolate cake in fridge - but that will do nothing to ease the guilt of comfort eating. Had already put on 6lbs prior to PG/MC, have now put a further 5lbs on and gone up a size!!

Hi and big hug to all the newbies, sorry your here but your in the right place for lots of support and help which can sometimes be lacking in rl.

Been lurking but had to post about 'sausage gate' really made me laugh, but (feel a bit wrong in asking) can I have more? Does he need special underwear? Oh have loads more questions but going to stop.

< Lemon realises she needs to get out more >

On the AF front hate hate hate AF for me it's 'the red tide of doom' I know it's a mouthful ( well not in Mrs Gs case lol sorry couldn't help myself) but that's what it feels like for me every bloody month .

Good to hear that others go by their bodies also, I really think i'm having signs today and think we will start trying today pending the okay from the doc this would be day 13 since MC so hopefully we haven't missed our chance but i've been doing tests and all negative.. so fingers and toes crossed!! I just want to have that hope again although then that means all the waiting again but hopefully it'll be worth it!

So many people keep telling me they know of people who MC'd on their first about 6 weeks and went on to have babies so here's hoping!

Going to join you ladies in a fairy cake :-) I've started my baby healthy diet today only fruit for brekkie and going to give up my 2 cups of tea a day (does it really make a difference?)

Thanks for being so positive bunnybaby!!

I have never tried the OPK route, I'm going for the SWI from day 10 and DP is under strict instructions to have warm baths only, no wine or firing without permisson

Also feeling positive Bunny pass the cake round..

yes, I'm on CD8 bunnybaby - don't know if I am really about to ovulate or if the OPK is not right - but swi will start today.
