A safe haven for those just off the mc rollercoaster and thinking about getting back on or are already on the TTC rollercoaster. Be warned these lovely ladies chat, and the thread moves lightening fast, but all are welcome to join in any time Smile

For those who have just mc'd, there is great info about your first cycle here

If you want to add yourself into the stats, just copy and paste the lot, change everyones CD (cycle day) if necessary and add yourself in.
WTF = first cycle after mc
WTTC = waiting to TTC
CD = cycle day
UCL = usual cycle length

Hi Nurse, glad you decided to join us. I've added you to the stats list below under WTTC (waiting to try to conceive), but feel free to move yourself up to the 'active' list if you decide not to wait. There are lots of us on here who dived straight back in to the TTC game, but also others who waited for one AF post MC to be sure everything was fine and complete, and to give them some time emotionally to come to terms with their loss, so it's really up to you.

nurse47 · 16/11/2010 11:22

Well I'm only seven days on from my erpc, and I think like hanging in the back row said I'm not going to try but not prevent so put me in the ttc bit. THanks for the warm welcome too x

inbetweener · 16/11/2010 11:50

Hi Nurse and welcome.

I didnt wait at all and got my BFP last week Grin. I am terrified and scared but hopefully all will be well.

Good luck to you and these ladies will certainly look after you, and teach you a few things too !!!!!!!!!!!!!

pink any development ?

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 16/11/2010 12:12

nurse sorry you're here but welcome to the thread! Sounds like you've had a really tough time Sad My background is that I'm ttc#3 after a mmc at 16 weeks in July (baby had died at 14). I have DS aged 7 and DD aged 4 who, along with the support from these lovely ladies, are keeping me going Smile

pink it ain't over till it's over! Interesting that it seems to be confirming ff timing, but fx she never really arrives

To all those considering acupuncture, can I just reiterate that my acupuncturist is fab? Because ff doesn't seem to pick up straight away on my "slow" LH surge, she had asked me to email daily charts to her so she can add her input and try to help pinpoint ovulation quicker and more accurately. Tbh it does feel a bit weird picking up an email today telling me to SWI tonight Shock but it's great to have that support!

PinkFondantFancy · 16/11/2010 12:30

betweener - nothing now!!' WTF?! It's done this before tho that get pink then af takes her sweet time to rock up 2 days later.... Still another couple of days is fine as ties in better with DHs work trip next month. Oh and then chrimbo day would be test date, brilliant..... :(

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 16/11/2010 13:05

pink Confused. What are your temps doing?

Wombat33 · 16/11/2010 13:18

Izz lol at your email from your accupuncturist. Do you think she'd cc DH too, or send a outlook meeting request to put it in your diaries?? Grin

PFF gaaah for AF messing you around!! Why won't our bodies play ball. Sooo frustrating!

I'm on CD 13 and temps are static (normal I have a pre-ov drop by now) and OPKs are showing absolutely no LH (normally I get a gradual increase). Humph. Am wondering if my newly re-actiivated gym habit is disrupting things? It's not like I'm running a daily marathon though, I've built up gradually and doing 30-40 mins at most at a time... where's the Oracle when I need her Wink Mummya thinking of you and hoping it's all going really well!!

Dachs are you managing to stay stress free?

wombo izz Grin at the meeting request invite! Sure DH would love that! How fab that your acu is doing that for you! Whats her number, does she do consults !?!?!

wombpants at the lh surge or lack of. maybe it has disrupted it :(

pink IMPLANTATION !! No pressure!Temps still high?

velvet where are yours?! What are they doing?!

My chart at pre ov dipped, sky rocketed two days later (timed perfectly with LH surge) and cos DS had me up all night i temped early today and they had plummeted again... just shows they need to be after sound sleep, same ish time otherwise all hell breaks loose!

nickstermum · 16/11/2010 13:31

D-oh so incompetent with phone!! What I meant to post was my chart in case anyone's bored and wants to see the most misleading chart probably ever created....

KnitterNotTwitter · 16/11/2010 13:57

Hey there

just popping in to let you know that AF got me last night/this morning so it's back to the bottom of the list again for me.

I knew this wasn't going to be my cycle as I was on the middle of Dartmoor without DH when I ovulated :)

I also thought you might be interested in hearing about my counselling.

My doctor referred me for fertitlity counselling after having the miscarriage so soon after the ectopic (March and July 2010). And because I burst into tears when I went to see her for my sicknote for work after the miscarriage.

I had my first session last week and it has been very intereting and useful. If anyone else gets offered counselling I would strongly recommend they go for it.

So far we've only really talked about my two lost pregnancies but we have also touched on my 'sense of self' and my relationship with DH and DS... I've got 5 more weeks in the first instance so i'm sure we'll cover everything.

My main 'actions' this week have been to write a complaint letter to the hospital over the treatment I received during my ectopic which she thought was dreadful and life-endangering. I've also got to think about the person I was before I had DS and decide if there are any aspects that I've discarded which perhaps I shouldn't have done. As a result I've bought two pairs of gorgeous high-heeled shoes and seven sexy lacy bras! I'm also going to commit to doing more with my running club!

inbetweener · 16/11/2010 14:37

Hello all,
I just had a phone call form the GP surgery. The lovely receptionist said that she had shown the bloods to the GP and that she had confirmed that I am indeed pg. She said the bloods were high so there was no doubt Grin
She then said " so congratulations darling " and I burst into tears!! Its the first time anyone has said that to me in RL !!!!!!!!

PS: I had a feeling it was ok as I did another clear blue digital this morning and it has gone up to Pregnant 3+ !! It was juts lovely hearing it confirmed !

Thanks for letting me be happy here. Im trying not to be insensitive, just wanted to share.

pink yay its gone away !!!!!!!!! Its NOT over yet Wink

By the way has anyone heard from jamface I see from the stats she is right behind pink in the due a BFP stakes !!!!Or have I missed something ?

HidingInTheBackRow · 16/11/2010 14:46

Oh Hurrah for inbetweener Grin. It must be such a relief to have it confirmed by someone else, now you can really believe it (if you see what I mean). And don't worry yourself about being insensitive. It is not in the least! In fact it is nice to see someone who has been through dificult times so happy and pregnant. It gives us all hope Smile

Hi knitter. I'm glad your counselling went well. I really like the fact that they have got you doing practical things (though I don't think I have ever owned 7 bras in one go..ever!). I've had counselling a couple of times in the past (for different things) but never lasted more then a few sessions as it was all talk and I'm just not a sitting about talking kind of person. I just got bored and irritated listening to myself. Your counselling sounds much better!

inbetweener · 16/11/2010 14:55

Thank you hiding xxxx

seven bras knitter WOWZA lol !! I too do not even own seven bras now ! I have 2 white work bras, two black work bras, 1 white t -shirt bra thats going grey. God I really need to get some new undies !!!!!

PinkFondantFancy · 16/11/2010 15:05

betweener phew now you can chill! I didn't realise your mc was so recent, I thought you were on cycle 3?? This thread moves so fast tho I get confused....

Am spending most of my energy on not bursting into tears today :( zen hasevaporated and thought of another month of ttc feels v daunting right now....

MamaPower · 16/11/2010 15:16

I know what you mean hon, at the start of every cycle I am getting more and more ''here we go again'' and all the frustration bubbles up!! Big hug.

betweener fab news hon, hope you can now relax and enjoy the ride :)

Knitter you make me laugh you little minx Grin

nickstermum · 16/11/2010 15:18
