Had an mc and need some wine, chocolate and somewhere to moan and cry? This is the place to be! We chat a LOT so it can be hard to keep up, but everyone on here is great and will hold your hand until you get your BFP.

A&R will let you put a BFP on yourself if you are happy with it Grin

MamaChristmas · 17/12/2010 22:31

AR Happy BFP Christmas to you Xmas Grin congratulations Xmas Grin Xmas Grin

News flash, straight from the horses mouth (well the mouth of a nationally recognised fertility specialist). Everything you read regarding Luteal phases is pure and utter shit!! ok, I'm paraphrasing, but I am assured that retaining a pregnancy has nothing AT ALL to do with the length of your luteal phase (it has everything to do with the hormone change post ovulation and this can be tested but given we have all conceived at least once is a sign that our hormones are doing what they should, when they should)! Great news ladies and for added reassurance he has told me that as I conceived the first so quickly DH's swimmers are almost certainly super dooper, my tubes (or at least 1) are good, I def ovulate and although my cycle has altered, this is quite common post mc and as long as they are still regular it makes no difference!!
So to all those with short LP's (I know izzy and posse one or two others), stop worrying, throw out the pills and just enjoy SWI Xmas Grin
So on that note... I am gonna bow out for a while my lovely girls! I'll certainly lurk and leave me on the list or move me on to MIA. I think for me this is the wake up call I needed to STOP stressing and let nature take its course.
you are all fabulous but I need to step out of 'thinking' about it every single second!

Love to you all xx

dAncerandRudolfsMum · 17/12/2010 22:36

I'm too scared to put a BFP in - I keep looking at the pee stick and deciding it is just my eyes playing tricks on me!!! Can't believe you lovely ladies know before my dh!! He is at his Christmas dinner.

we all deserve lovely BFPs for Christmas. All we need now is our planning permission to come through in order to turn one of the crappiest years ever around.

Orange velvet I have put on my suspenders again - having sent them across the room in a fit of tentative happiness.

orestyemerrywombat · 17/12/2010 23:02

Whoop!! CONGRATULATIONS AandR!!! Xmas Grin Xmas Grin Xmas Grin

I have a really good feeling this is the beginning of a run of Christmas/New Year BFPs for us on this thread!! Xmas Grin Xmas Grin

orestyemerrywombat · 17/12/2010 23:11

mamac whoop for good advice and not worrying! Good luck with getting on with it. Come back and see us often!

HongKongBaby · 18/12/2010 04:55

A&R fantastic news Xmas Grin what a wonderful Christmas present!

Glad your mind has been put at rest MamaC and I hope the more relaxed approach will soon bring you a BFP.

I've been for my acupuncture this morning and feeling great. Trying hard to prepare myself for the disappointment of AF's arrival next week but can't help getting my hopes a bit as had a temp dip at 10DPO and now a little bit of brown spotting. Somebody slap me!

DontEatOrangeSnow · 18/12/2010 05:22

Morning

So, I tested last night Blush and I got a very faint line. Tested this morning, got nothing Confused I got OPK+ on CD13 morning, and am on CD32 now. I got bad cramps/pain on CDs27 and 28 (worse than normal period pain), which have stopped, I am bloated, have wind Blush more CM than I've ever seen and bigger occasionally a bit sore boobs. I'm out of ideas :( I keep trying to forget how long it took to get the BFP last time as I don't want false hope

Anyway, AandR I just noticed that was cycle 2, that's great! Have you told DH yet?

MammaC that's comforting news and thanks for sharing, it makes me feel a bit better. Hope to see you around after your break Xmas Grin

HongKongBaby · 18/12/2010 05:40

Orange the boobs and the CM sound similar to my pregnancy symptoms, I know you don't want to have false hope but it really does sound good to me. Maybe you can wait a day or two and test again and you will get a reassuring big fat line?? You must be feeling all over the place... Fingers x'd for you while you wait.

DontEatOrangeSnow · 18/12/2010 07:04

HKBaby you're right. I think I may need to give my tests to DH and tell him to not give them back to me till an agreed time. My friend suggested Xmas eve.

I'm liking the acupuncture too, and have removed my tongue piercing on her advice. Actually, she seemed to think I was when I saw her on Tuesday Confused

A bit off topic, but I've always loved HK at Xmas, especially the shopping centre by the harbour

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 18/12/2010 10:42

OK orange i think you need to go out and get some first response tests please?

Or hold your wee in for a few hours and not drink anything, If you have gotten a very faint line, i would say a line is a line... but get the FR and go for it having drank nothbing!!

AR still grinning from ear to ear having just spent this morning with my head down the loo Xmas Grin and have been left with a horrid metal taste in my mouth! (never had these symptoms before!) Hoping its not a bug!!

mamac you know what, that is the best news you could have been given. The GP said something to me last week that has stuck in my mind, and he said... 'you wil only fall pregnant again after a miscarriage, when your body is ready to do so' it kind of makes sense, but also kind of doesnt ?(certainly doesnt help with frustration!) Its quite possible that it takes longer for some to physically & hormonally rebalance after the trauma of an MC - i dont know!! Im so glad you got some clarity and i hope it helps :)

AR still smiling :) Well done mr ar swimmers xxx Welcome to the world of worrying and knickerchecking toots xx

kat2504 · 18/12/2010 11:00

ar many congratulations and hope you see a lovely big fat line very soon. What a fantastic start to the festive season!

Haven't been on here for a bit as have been trying to stress less too. SWI done for this month now. Two good chances in the fertile window. Wanted three but he had to go to work this morning so lie in was cancelled! Yesterday was probably best day any how.
Watch this space on new years eve! At least if I don't get lucky I can drown my sorrows in a party.

Velvetstocking · 18/12/2010 12:18

congrats AR

BFN for me this morning and now the party is gonna be cancelled for me anyway coz of the snow so I didnt need to POAS!!

Orange I am with you on this one - my boobs hurt sooo much and are tingling and hot too. Still no sign of AF for me either so let's hope we both tested too early (although I'm not getting my hopes up)

mamac glad you feel like you can chill out a bit now. Good luck :)

loola2snowshus · 18/12/2010 13:01

AR Fab news!!

Orange Looking Good, a lines a line I would say!

Velvet Hope its just too early!

MamaC Good luck with it all, I'm sure you'll be back with your BFP announcement soon.

Well I started spotting again yesterday Angry and I feel very PMT'd today, I have no idea what the hell is happening to my body! Its only blardy CD16! Oh well I suppose sooner AF turns up the better and then I can start again, rather than it taking the usual 40days! Feeling sorry for myself today Sad

I know that really I need to pull my finger out of my arse and loose some weight to sort out cycle, as I have put on loads since MC and I know it always causes problems. but its so hard when you're feeling down in the dumps!

orestyemerrywombat · 18/12/2010 13:42

ooh!! orange, velvet and hkbaby fingers crossed!!!

Hello kat two chances sounds good!

nix puking is good! I'm sure it's bean not bug. Took your advice to get going: 2x swi since dh got home at 11pm last night Xmas Blush Xmas Grin No pos opk yet though so need to pace ourselves!

orestyemerrywombat · 18/12/2010 13:47

(((hugs))) loola xxx

kat2504 · 18/12/2010 14:01

Loola know what you mean about post mc weight gain! Here's to new years healthy start. Very hard to get motivated to lose weight though
