TTC after a miscarriage - ***Lets have some more BFP's***

[Diddle]

Here we go ladies, couldn't wait for a couple of days have started one already.

Lets make this thread a lucky one and make sure we al graduate from it.

Hello ladies

Well, AF in full flow today which is a relief and my lumps have disappeared-miracle! It's amazing what us girls have to suffer.

Looks like there will be loads of us testing at the same time next month-ooh that will be fun!

Do feel that TTC is ruling my life at the mo as it is permanently in the back of my mind and I feel guilty that I am not giving DD my full attention at all times because of it and I am ashamed as it is not her fault

LOL CHOCOLATEPEANUT

Welcome back baggybear ((xx))

Hope you are feeling brighter today cori ((x))

Won't have time to chat tomorrow so will catch up on Tuesday.

Hugs to everyone.

Hello all, I'm new to this thread as have just m/c a week ago and been given the all clear from the hosp following a neg scan and three blood tests. Not too bad though as it was just 5 weeks in and had no pain or intervention.

We're really lucky in that so far we've had 100% success rate at conceiving, had ds 18mths without really trying and this was our second go. Now we need to go for it again after AF has been...bit of an effort as we're always both so tired, just want to cuddle up!

Anyway off to Centre Parcs with a load of the family this week so hopefully can forget about it for a while and relax, at last.

Thanks for listening.

p.s. what is BFP/BFN??

Welcome LouiseT- to hear about your MC. Anything you want to talk about on here just go ahead and we will listen all you want. It does get quiet on here at weekends-honestly, we are not ignoring you!

BFN-Big Fat Negative when you wee on your test and it's bad news!

BFP-Big Fat Positive when you wee on your test and it's fabulously good news!

Check out the acronym list at the top of this page for all the abbreviations you will need. Have you put your details on the stats list? I need Diddle or one of the others to create a link to it as I don't know how to do links.

Anyway, try and rest over the rest of the weekend and start praying for the return of your AF so you can start BD, then you can join me and maddyd in our western movie.

((xxx))

Hi all, and welcome LouiseT, so sorry about your miscarriage . Hope you can rest and recharge at centreparcs next week.

Diddle still no AF? Fingers and toes crossed for testing tomorrow, thinking of you xx.

HC glad you are now lump free! Know what you mean about it always being in the back of your mind. I wish I could just relax and forget it. It's alot easier said than done isn't it? (((hugs)))

Welcome back Baggybear, did you have a nice holiday?

I've Had a very busy weekend clearing out our walk in wardrobe (which we can now actually walk into lol), and one of the many things I came across was the pregnancy tests I'd done last time I found out I was pg - the miscarriage. I had completely forgotten I'd kept them, so it was a big shock to find them, and made me feel v sad .
I have started taking royal jelly, am following instructions on the bottle, but is there a recommended dose for conception does anyone know? Think it was mentioned in the Gillian McKieth article which I missed, be grateful for any info

nicmum2boys-are you going to keep the tests? I have as I never want to forget. ((xx))

Don't know about the Royal Jelly thing-I know it sounds awful but I always associate it with someone about 90 taking it

Take care hun

P.S. Aren't you the posh one having a walk-in wardrobe? LOLx

Meant to say- I have just been doing some Christmas shopping on Ebay-HOW SAD IS THAT??? (Whispers, I bought some things a few weeks ago, only 4 items though)

Night all, best go to bed before I buy anything else.

Morning all,
Still lurking to see how you all are.
HC- love the "western movie" Not sad at all doing Christmas shopping at this time of year. I'm always going through shops thinking what would make good presents and have done since I was a student. Think you get better presents rather than rush round in the weeks before Christmas.

Cori- you having trouble sleeping too?! Perhaps we should both be here at 5am!

Louise T- sorry you have to be here but know you'll get lots of support.

As for me, I've decided I'll probably go to the Drs next week to see if they'll refer me for a scan, and hopefully get an appointment the week after that. I don't mind waiting a week or two.

Have a good day everyone.

Nicmum2boys, hiya its me that said about the Royal Jelly. it doesnt say in the book when to stop taking it but i will stop on day of ovulation as i know that when i have to stop taking the evening primrose oil, so it makes sense to stop the Royal jelly too, plus i would have run out by then too. Im quite excited for this month as i took all my vits llast month and it really did wonders for my cm, its a shame we didnt bd

Anyway dp has been instructed this month when we need to bd so hes quite pleased about that. Hes away for a stag do on THE O DAY if its on time so hes said we can do it the day before and the day after. Cant believe we are at the stage wehere we are booking in our sex life. Really i have it written in my diary.

Diddle, how you doing, has your af come yet. Are you ok?????? Worry about you honey, i know youve been more laid back this month but its still dissapointing isnt it. Take Care and come and chat to us soon. Hc and i are making a movie You and lottie want to join? Go on, i know you want too.

Hiya and welcome to you Louise, sorry for your loss. How are you feeling? Enjoy your break, im so jelous i love center parcs.

Hope you get your Scan Petunia!!!! Let us know how you get on

Period started yesterday .

.....although I suppose I should be grateful that it was early rather than late this month and didn't allow me to build my hopes up.

Start my Clomid again today - last cycle before my next appointment with the consultant in November.

Here's to hoping that I have to cancel the appointment, due it not being necessary!

Sorry to meet you here under such circumstances Prettybird. How many cycles have you taken the clomid for? Have you been trying for a long time

This will be my fourth cycle. Been trying properly for number 2 for over 18 months now.
Had a missed miscarriage (followed by an ERPC) at about 11 weeks back in June 2003.

Ds will be 5 in a couple of weeks - I really didn't want him to be an only child, but at 44, I am soon going to have to acknowledge that that is a very real possibility.

Oh i do hope not, i say that though when my age worries me too. Im 37 and feel like my micarriage was my last chance for my last one. Im very lucky though i have a 17 year dd and 3 year dd and a 2 year ds.

Are you upping the clomid dose for this month or changing your days or anything. Are you being montiered too and having trigger shots.

Im not on clomid but i do know alot about it as researched as if it takes more than six months i want my doc to put me on it. We have discussed it and he says at the moment its far too soon, but i thought if i beg after a few more months of trying he may cave in.

No I'm not can't up the dosage (100mg/day - only have enough left for the course) and no, I've not been monitored or had anything beyond just being given the prescrpitin by the consultant (or rather, the note from the consultant to give to the GP to write the prescription).

I am ovulating though (although might not be doing so every month, given my age), so the Clomid is supposedly only to improve the quality of my eggs. It did seem to increase my cycle, which had been getting shorter (down to 24 days from 26), which must surely have been a positive thing.

The consultant was a bit de-mob happy - he was about to retire, so I don't even know who I will be seeing in November.

Hello Guys hope your all having a good bank holiday weekend. We have been away camping again. The site wasn't very good but the children had a great time with the other children they met. Felt unwell on fri and sat so I went to bed early sat night. wasn't expecting AF for another week as it was a 5 wk cycle last month, But I woke up in a state at about 10 and after talking to DH decided that actually I might be pg. The gates of the camp site shut at 10.30pm so I spent a tearfull half an hour trying to convince DH to go to the shop for a test but he declined. So anyway sunday morning at 10am I go shopping at the local town (by this stage I have convinced myself I'm not) and happen to walk through Boots and pick up a test. After I get back to the site I hide in the toilet tent on the bl**dy porta loo and up pops a BFP
Still feel shaky and scared but OMG I can't belive it.

Posted on the chat thread but just wanted to say CONGRATS! again!

Xena - How fab is that!? Delighted for you. Happy camping.

Just thought I'd pop in to catch up and OH MY GOD!!!! CONGRATULATIONS XENA

Haven't read all the way down yet, but hello and welcome to Sunnyside and Prettybird.

Xena, CONGRATULATIONS... am really pleased.

I am feeling OK, a bit of sickness and a bit of tiredness , but generally OK. AM going to the GP tomorrow to get the ball rolling. Am trying not to worry to much, I am finding it difficult to talk about this beanie, with out qualifying every statment 'if it makes it'. I am also reminding myself that it is not a baby yet, it is still a cell which isnt even the size of my finger nail. I am trying to practice detachment.

Cori you sound exactly like me I think 'if it happens' too. Were you 16wks last time? I can't remember reading what actually happened. I was only 14 but I don't trust that magic 12wks anymore.

Xena-MEGA CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You must be over the moon

Take are hun

(((((XXXXXXXXXXXX)))))

Whoops!

I mean take care

xx

Xena, I was 17 weeks by the time I was actually induced. The baby stopped growing around 15 weeks though. Obviously I dont trust the magic '12 weeks' either. I dont think I will be comfortable until after 20 weeks. Even then, there a people here who have had M/C /stillbirths after that.

Cori Carry on Camping chick!!!

Fab news.Try and stay positive,I know what you mean about the magic 12 week rule.I lost philippa at 25 weeks and I know how I will be when I eventually concieve again.But I have met lots of women who have gone on to have have healthy babies after miscarriage/stillbirth so we must try and concentrate on the positives.I know its hard but keeping everything crossed (well not on fertile nights )

Hope everyone else ok!My af is in full flow but arrived on day 27 so hoping back to old cycle and that this months is THE month.Its my last chance to get pregnant before i finish maternity leave and I so want to be pregnant when i go back,it will make it mush easier if you know what i mean
