Hello and welcome to all.
Grab your OPK and stash of POAS' and join us on this quest to many a BFP.
This ones going to be lucky!

Dachs am also ignorant of all things AC, but you musn't feel you can't hang around... this thread is a big cashmere cardi to give comfort to all who need.

Have found my old friend SauvBla tonight. Gosh I have missed her....

Dachs really sorry to hear your news. Not that I would chase you off this thread but you might find more pertinent support on a slightly different one. I have to say that despite the lovely support I get here I do find it really depressing that most people who started with me have got pg by now and those who haven't had a baby have miscarried some more. Not something you want to be jealous of but I've been feeling the odd one out for quite a while.

Anyway I sincerely hope they are proved wrong!!!

Oh my Dachshund - your stories of honeymoon make me quite glad we went VERY low-key for ours. We got married when DS was about 17 months, so was a bit tricky working out what to do - plus we had to travel to NZ for the wedding and are skint, so we ended up just getting my parents to babysit for a few days and went to an even more than normal an isolated island and stayed in a traditional kiwi bach (cottage) and reveled in being alone just the two of us for the first time since he'd been born.
So sorry to hear the news re: follicles though, as said by lots of others, please don't feel you need to run away from here (although we'll understand if the talk of ttc etc is painful to you), we're here to support and distract and ply with alcohol help however we can.

tigger hon, sorry you've been feeling the odd one out too - if it's any consolation (and I'm sure it isn't) I've been finding it hard on this thread (or any, actually) since the last miscarriage, partly because of the waiting element, partly because I'm conscious that what happened to those of us that have miscarried more than once, is terrifying to most of the women on here. Hmm, not sure what I'm trying to say, just that I think we're all quite aware of everyone's singular trials but one of the lovely things about this thread is how the varying sad experiences of everyone here allows sympathy/empathy to rise up whenever it's needed. I hope you don't feel alone too often.

Morning all - just popping in to do the list - it hasn't been done since Monday - so please check that it is right! penguinsmummy - have left you where you are - didn't I read somewhere about a BFP? Well unless I dreamt that (I do dream a lot :))- so have left you to graduate when you are ready etc.

Hello there,

Please may I ask a question? I am miscarrying my first pregnancy. I was only somewhere between 4.2 and 7.2 weeks (I think 4.2 but my last period was 7.2 weeks before - pill has messed my cycles up). I found out on Friday, took about 8 positive tests over the weekend and was so excited, told family and DH's family on Monday. By Tuesday I had lost my sore boobs and had lower back pain, and yesterday I took two Clearblue digital tests, both negative, and a Tesco test which was still showing positive. Then I started bleeding.

Anyway, I phoned the doctor who asked me if I was in pain (I wasn't and I'm not except for back pain and heavy but not out-of-the-ordinary cramps) and if I was passing clots. At that time no clots, but now there are loads of thick black and grey clots and the whole thing is very sticky - almost to the point of being solid. So sorry if tmi .

Do you think I should call the doctor again? Or is this just par for the course? I'm worried I won't be able to tell if everything has cleared, and I don't know how long this should last.

I feel much better today but yesterday I pretty much cried all morning and spent the afternoon pretending to be cheerful but leaking secret tears.

I'm really sorry that all of you have been through this. I know it was early, it was for the best, and it happens to lots of people, and I know it doesn't mean anything for the future. But it was still a little life beginning and I feel absolutely rubbish. I'm sure you know what I mean.

Sorry to gatecrash the thread.

takethat - no apologies for gatecrashing. all are welcome here.

The thick clots etc. and stickiness are perfectly normal so don't worry. The length of the bleed differs from person to person - mine was very heavy for about 8 days then died off over another three.

If you're worried, it might be worth going back to the doctor after most of the bleeding has stopped and ask for a scan to make sure it's all out (although I'm sure the others will correct me if I'm wrong).

This is a great thread - everyone is really supportive.

Crying is also perfectly understandable and normal, and most of us here have damp tissues a lot

I'm really sorry that you are going through this. big hugs

Thank you Dachsunds that's very reassuring! It is hard to know what is normal and what isn't. The doctor told me to take another pregnancy test in a week to check it's cleared but since I'm already getting negative tests that doesn't seem very reliable!

Thanks for replying so quickly

takethat so sorry to hear you're going through this. I'd go back to the docs when you feel ready; as Dachs says they may want to send you for a scan.

And in the meantime, there is nothing wrong with having a good weep. Far better to do that than try and bottle it all up. Hope you are getting plenty of support from family. I think it's fair to say that everyone in here understands just how rubbish it feels - hope you are feeling better soon.

Dachs :( at your news, that is rotten. But as others have said; doctors are often wrong or just give you the worst case scenario so I have my fingers crossed for you.

Regarding bad honeymoon stories; on my first honeymoon we got our passports and plane tickets stolen in Thailand and spent the last two days of the holiday queueing up in the Bangkok British Embassy - yay! What fun!

Dachs I'm so sorry I have only just looked further back on this thread. I'm really sorry for your news . But I hope there are other options for you. You sound like a lovely lady and I wish you good luck xxxxx

take that I'm really sorry you're having to go through this and glad you're feeling a little better today, but don't feel you have to rush things, it's perfectly ok to cry if you need to.

I don't think it makes a lot of difference that it was early etc, like you say it was still a little life beginning and you have every right to grieve the loss of that life.

I can't really advise about the physical side of things as I had a mmc and then an ERPC, so haven't been through the "natural" process, but just wanted to say how sorry I was x

Hi takethatlady - I'm so sorry you've found yourself here but please don't apologise. You're not gatecrashing at all.

As the others have said, it all sounds 'normal' (for want of a better word) but definitely try and go back to the doctors when you're up to it. In the meantime, be kind to yourself and don't worry about feeling up, down or all over the place x

BTW - I your name, and hope it's in tribute to my favourite boys, rather than being a statement of intent or something!

Thank you VivClicquot I love your name too! You sound like a lady after my own heart ... It is indeed a tribute (though other people have confused it with violent tendencies ... )

Have you seen the new video shoot, for 'The Flood'? They're doing a mock Oxford-Cambridge boat race . I can sense I'm going to be queueing up for tickets again ...

I'm supposed to be working but I'm doing a crap job of it. Glad things sound normal. The disappointment is so huge and crushing but at least it happened early - every day that went by I felt more excited and attached, and it would have been worse the longer it had gone on.

I just hope that's my bad pregnancy out of the way...

No, I haven't! Where can I find such information?

Since announcing the new album and tour, my blood pressure has gone up at least 20% at the stress of the thought of getting tickets. It will be like a military operation!

I hope prettyvacant is also reading this as I know she hankers after a bit of the That too...

right, who needs the haddock? hairy - do you need the shark, or will the haddock do?

i have absolutely NOT been symptom spotting. no, not at all. after all, it's futile. why would I still be spotting?

Hello all :)

I have shamelessly been symptom spotting, but the only thing I can spot is the sudden appearance of a big vein on my left boob.

VIV I still have high temps, and despite FF not liking it - there is not a lot I can do about that!!...looks like my chart is showing a triphasic pattern, but that is still no indication of being Up duffed

HELLO ALL!

am still in sunny :p manchester! have had a lovely time and am going to go home tonight.

has taken my mind off impending scan (12 days away!!)

have to go cos if my sil finds me on MN i will be in trouble!

Daschs haddock will do me nicely

Hairy runs at Daschs with the dolpin, even though it's not a fish, but it'll do for now...

Nope, I haven't been symptom spotting either, nope definately no sign of feeling a teensy bit nauseaous, slightly sore nips, teeny cramps in left of belly... no, not at all. haven't even looked at my boobs twenty times already today. Honest. Definately not.

Battery ooh veiny boobs sound promising!

Viv just type "take that" "the flood" "the sun" into google and you'll find pics and an article

Having conflicting feelings about Mark Owen since he's been my crush since I was 11 but he's now a cheater ... but he does look yummy in those pics ...

jolls, I'm so sorry, lovey, that REALLY sucks. :( ~passes some more beer and chocolate~

penguinsmummy - congratulations on your BFP!!

Welcome, choccy, izzy and takethatlady. Sorry you're herer, but this is a really fab bunch.

Dachs I'm so sorry to hear that :(

hopefully I'm in the same boat re: moodiness. Keep biting people's heads off even though everyone is being really nice.

wiggle I hope your ERPC went well.

Well, I'm back, thoroughly married and still upduffed, although I stupidly decided to PO a CBD this morning and it only showed 2-3. Now I'm panicking worried.
The wedding went really well, the run up to it less so. my boss/friend/maid of honour cancelled on me a day before the wedding, and she was meant to bring my dress, cake and flowers. thankfully I have a fantastic MIL.
My best friend came up to me at the reception and said "you're hiding a baby in your tummy, aren't you?".. no idea how she knows.

~waves~ to hairy, viv, freezing, sarah, ladybee, tigger, PFF and everyone else who might be lurking.

Dachs you nutbar - your description of flinging the fish made me laugh and gave away my sneaky MN-ing to DS 'What are you doing mummy? Can i help?'

Ooh battery I've got a good feeling about you this month m'dear.
I do hope we get a good batch of BFPs before august is out, nothing like starting the new term with a new project (is anyone else desperate to buy stationary? I'm longing for a new ruler and folders).

Car is back, well, was back yesterday but I was too stunned by price of repairs to think about it. It is basically not the same car, most of it seems to have been replaced. Maybe the horn and the radio that doesn't go is still original. I suppose, to make all of that worthwhile, I should attempt to drive it a bit more regularly.

Furniture didn't arrive so our dining room still looks like a bomb site with boxes and bags of clothes/linen everywhere. I can live with it, but as we're going out tomorrow I have the deep shame of having to expose it to our babysitter (also knows as our childminder). I just want to curl up with the of having someone sit in the house when it's like this.

DS and I have made DH's cake for 40th birthday tomorrow, just have to wait for it to cool and then attack with icing (attack being the right word where ds is concerned). Am hoping that if I let him loose with a some icing pens to do squiggles etc then I can artfully place some of those silver balls and DH will think it is charming and naive and not a complete dogs dinner. Still got to get DS to make a card and wrap DH's present. Oh yes, and make tea.
I am determinedly not thinking about the fact that tomorrow was going to be when we announced our pregnancy, and just enjoy the cocktails that I can now drink with abandon sensibly so that I don't weep all over the evening.

ooooh hello Ivy congratulations!!!

Maybe you were indulging in secret smile and tummy rubbing? or just not drinking?

Boo to letting-you-down MOH though, that's thoroughly rubbish, yay to excellent-saving-the-day MIL

Sorry, did also mean to say welcome and sorry to takethatlady, I think what you are describing is typical for natural miscarriage at fairly early stage? But if you start feeling rubbish (flu-ey), or get pain or heavy bleeding after not having it for a while then call the GP to check for infections.
And don't use tampax/tampons while you're bleeding. (Just in case GP hasn't mentioned it).

it's stationery, isn't it.

I'll get my coat.

Is it possible I have ovulated twice on separate days? Never had this before!

Also , how often do you guys SWI and for how long after you think (coz I'm not monitoring) you ov'd??

Quick hello to everyone and congrats to the recent grads
