Hi ladies, mind if I join you? I had a mmc followed by an erpc back in May, and after waiting for my first af we've been ttc since. I've been obsessively reading popping in now and then to read your stories over the last few weeks. This seems like a really supportive place to be, and the graduate list is really encouraging!

My stats are:
Appleblossoms TTC#2 cycle 2 UCL 30-34 CD 32

Took a first response this morning and BFN, so I'm waiting on AF now....

Hi chocckybick! I'm up at the cracks too, but with ds. Your i-phone may be correct, but here near Leeds it's a beautiful day, and the weather forecast is looking good. We are off fo lunch with dp sister and husband, dp's mum and grandma today. Should be nice. And perhaps a spot of blackberry picking this morning. How was your shopping, get anything good? And what about those two girls on x-factor

Good luck with your testing velvet. I have my FX for you, and am hopeful.I think i'm still having a wtf cycle. I might take inspiration from clareanna,and effectively relax on myself for a couple months, as i had pre-ovulation signs, but then no ewcm, and the last time i had that it was because i was pregnant, so I stupidly got my hopes up this month!

hairy and MA, my spots are usually a good indicator of ovulation and period, but this month they're haywire. I too hate looking like a teenager!

I can't believe you're off to Idia ladybee, I hope you have a lovely time. Is it work or pleasure?

I had BFN. But am resignesd to another wtf. So, I am quite philosophical here. May leave ttc till after xmas. On the other hand, might just give poas-ing a rest for a couple of months and let my head chill.
Or not

Hope you all have a lovely day, take care all.

Whoops, x-post- welcome appleblossoms sweet name btw

YRMOTB and velvet fx for you both, surely it's not possible for so many to just be having a WTF cycle?

ladybee - india?!! Lucky you, am very jealous!!

choccybick I see your UCL is shorter than mine so agree it's unfair to ask you to wait until Saturday! In fairness, I might find it harder to hold out myself if I was exhibiting anything that could be remotely imagined to be symptoms, but so far absolutely nothing, so I'm pretty convinced AF will be rolling up with her bags on Friday and don't really want to inflict an unnecessary BFN on myself for no good reason! Will keep my fx for you for Thursday - perhaps you can bring us all some luck!

appleblossoms - welcome, sorry you find yourself here but you will get lots of support and hopefully (in the nicest possible way) you won't have to stay here too long.

Hope you're all having a good weekend, it is miserable weather here and DH is off doing a triathlon so have to try to wrestle two reluctant DCs to church on my own (and really need to go since attendance has been sporadic as best over summer since the MC giving my whole sense of faith and hope a really good kick in the teeth!)

Hi all,

Have kind of disappeared lately as was getting really nervous coming up to my 12 week scan and reading MN wasn't helping, found the burying my head in the sand approach best!. Anyway - have been trying to catch up - so many posts its hard though. Also typed a lovely long message on my phone last night, then lost it

Ladybee sorry you had a tough time after the hospital, hope India is a lovely break away from it all. Know what you mean about being sick of the first trimester - before the scan this week all I could think was that if things weren't ok I wasn't sure I could do it all again and may have to have a break!

hairy - exciting about the bike - I've been doing quite a bit of cycling recently (for fun - not commuting) and has been lovely. Check out the sustrans cycle network site for nice off road easy bike rides, they're great.

MummyAbroad your posts prompted me to post actually re no RTD since ERPC. Know that everyone is different, but thought it might be helpful to let you know that mine took 10 weeks to appear after my ERPC. Started temping the month afterwards and found it quite good as felt like 'i was doing something productive', was thinking about buying a CBFM, mainly to feel like I was trying everything. Anyway, glad I didn't as I got pregnant that month.

Sorry to everyone I haven't namechecked, hello to new people - sorry you're here but it is a lovely supportive place to be.

As I noted above, had my 12 week scan last week. Was sooo stressed, despite having had a scan at 9 weeks that showed a heartbeat. Stress levels weren't helped by the fact that the scan took ages - thought that there was something wrong. Seemed that they were just being v thorough. Anyway everything looked fine and my adjusted downs risk was really low too so am so so relieved. Have started to tell people now, and finally letting myself believe that there will be a baby one day.

Hope everyone enjoys the sunshine and fingers crossed for lots more BFPs soon.

well.. im glad i never left because you can take me off the grads list.

Went for my scan last tues. had a cvs to confirm that i have another baby with Triploidy. All drs completely baffled. Only ever seen one other case before in his career. But being some medical pheononmenon doesnt help.
Sending us for genetic testing altho he says it will come back clean as triploidy isnt like that.
He keeps saying its just really really bad luck. But i dont belive in that.
Am going to try once more to TTC naturally then im going for IVF/PGD. Dont care if i have to sell my right arm. They cant even tell us at this time who it is with the faulty goods. Me or him.

Have a D&C booked on wed morning, Wed eve is Jewish New yr.. so very hard timing for me. Am not so sure but have started spotting so might even be miscarrying anyway.

I dont even know how i feel. I had prepared myself for bad news, but this wasnt even on my radar. I couldnt even cry. I just kept saying "what??"

My husband has booked me in to see a councellor next week. I just feel numb.
how has this happned? and why is it happening to me? I have my beautiful DD at home who is healthy and was so straightforward, how can there be something wrong with me?? unless she was the fluke. But ive been told no. Although, i dont think they really know.
PS i hate babycentre, ppl write things on there as if they are drs when they are just speculating and write it as fact.

oh sarahmia, am so sad reading your post. Cannot begin to imagine how you are feeling right now. I hope your faith can bring you some comfort, and I think counselling is a great idea. Much love to you x

sarahmia I am so so sorry to read your post. You must be devastated.

I hope the counselling helps to get you through this very difficult time. Will be thinking of you x

saramia I can't believe it, I am so sorry and sad for you. Lots of love to you and your family at this very very difficult and painfully distressing time.

theses should have been at the end of that message for you...xxx

Hi Ladies,

Just popping in to say hi ... this thread moves at an incredible rate!

First hello to all the new people -although its not nice that you are here - this is a lovely thread to be on - and offers lots of support when you need it - I hope you won't be on here long though!

northern am glad you are feeling reassured:)- am stressing out myself already!

sarahmia - words fail me to say the right thing to you. Life is cruel and like Jolls said, I hope your faith offers you some comfort, and that you look after yourself and you DH - xxxxx to you.

Big wave to everyone else especially cheepz - I will save you a seat on the other thread :)

sarahmia big hugs to you.
I can't imagine what you must be going through - to have that result once must be devastating enough.
I wish I could say more, you poor poor thing.
How is your DH taking it?

I was on the March thread with you, the one that does the naked photoshoots!

sarahmia your post made me cry, my thoughts are with you. So sorry for your loss. Fingers crossed that the doctors are right and it really was just very very bad luck rather than any systematic problem.

Sorry to hear your news sarahmia.

Hi to everyone. Still nothing to report from this end.

So very, verysorry Sarahmia

Sarahmia so sorry to read your news. I really hope that the counselling helps you xxx

sarahmia words fail me, I hope you, your DH and DD can find comfort in one another. Sending you all lots of love x

Sarahmia so very sorry to read your sad news. I wish I could find the words to make you feel better. I hope you find comfort in your family and friends, go easy on yourself. Big hugs to you xxx

Appleblossoms Welcome! Sorry to hear about your loss - hopefully your stay here will be shortlived. You're in v good company :)

Mummy I'm still waiting for AF too. I don't think I've ever spent so much time peering into a toilet bowl and examining the contents of loo roll in my entire life. It's not a healthy obsession! I've started temping (like northern says just because it makes me feel productive!) and thought that I may be starting to ov last week but doesn't look likely now. What on earth happened to the signs of ov that the consultant saw on the ultrasound?? Really wish I'd quizzed him more now!!

Left a jar of extra strength zinc tablets on DH's pillow last night too. Midly amused response.

Sorry that should read 'mildly amused' Although midly wouldn't be too far out either.

Sarahmia, Hi, I dont really know you, but I'm so moved by your post. I am so sorry that this is happening to you.

Is triploidy related to molar pregnancies? I only ask because I was diagnosed with partial molar earlier in the year and then later undiagnosed (I too am a medical pheononmenon, I ended up with something that doesnt even have a name, non molar placental regrowth after a mc)

I understand triploidy can be caused by 2 sperm fertilising a single egg and that this definition is also used to describe partial molar. If they are related I can really recommend this site both for support and medical information. I also have more information sent to me by a specialist at Charing Cross hospital if you think it might be useful.

a big hug for you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Welcome Appleblossoms Hope you get the support and encouragement you need here.

Northerngolidlocks THANK YOU! for your post. 10 weeks is even more encouraging

Chockybic I feel for you, and am sharing the nervous symptom spotting, angsty, churned up feeling!! Sucks dunnit?

Hello,
I hope you don't mind me joining you, I posted on a different thread and MummyAbroad suggested I try here for a chat and support.

Sarahmia I'm terribly sorry to hear your sad news. I hope you are finding some comfort from your family and friends and wish you luck with the tests.

My story is that I have a beautiful DS aged nearly 3. I got pregnant for a second time but had a termination at 19 weeks back in February due to a a lethal condition that meant my second baby would not have survived birth. Tests have shown it was not genetic or chromosomal. Just very bad luck. I got pregnant again at the end of April but m/c at 8 weeks at the end of June. I am 39 and have a history of early menopause in my family, so my feeling is my bad luck is due mainly to my age (old eggs??) and family's medical history. We are ttc again but the reason I posted on the other thread is that my cycle is all over the place (I mean it is much longer than usual) and I was wondering how normal this is after a m/c. Have any of you experienced this? Does it calm down again?
If it is OK to join you here are my stats
UCL 27 (but more like 40 after m/c) CD 31
Thanks x

Hey getawiggleon

Yeah IKWYM, I really must redecorate the bathroom, now that I spend so much time in it, I am on my second day of temping now. Not going great, 1st day, got woken up at 4am by DS so took it too early, 2nd day had a raging slight hangover so it probably wont be an sccurate reading. Ooops. It is making me feel more in control though, hopefully I will be better at it by the time I am in a proper cycle.

On the bright side, I love fertilityfriend.com, have been happily inputting all the data and admiring the millions of different perpectives you can take on my collection of BFN's

ooh, and another thing, I felt a difference in my cervix last night, much softer and higher - maybe I had really delayed ovulation from stress? or the doc was talking crap?

xxxxxxxxxxxx

Mummy on my last bathroom visit I noticed that the orchid has shed all its flowers - seems I have neglected to water it all month as I've been to busy toilet-gazing!

Agree that FF is fab too. Although I can't help thinking that it'll suddenly announce one day that I ov'd three days previously and I'll have missed my window of opportunity! I've downloaded the i phone app too!

*too busy
