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.

Just popping by to say I am thinking of you today, on your due date Izzy big hugs and love x

RudolfThePinkNosedReindeer · 21/12/2010 11:28

izzy I'm so sorry-I'd forgotten about your due date :( my thoughts are with you, I hope you're being looked after.

dachs I've also found out that some colleagues' wives have been through similar, one of them in particular had a particularly tough time with miscarriage and ivf, which is how I got the recommendation for the private consultant. Good news is that they now have a beautiful 2 week old baby girl :)

owlbooty · 21/12/2010 11:41

Aw Dachs better out than in, I reckon. When I told my boss about the mc it transpired she'd had two herself - both that and ivf seem to be so common and so little is said about either. Hope you are feeling a bit more chipper now you have your shiny guiltPad Grin

Big hug for Izzy x

orestyemerrywombat · 21/12/2010 11:44

Big big hugs Izzy from me too. Hope you are finding, as other have, that the anticipation of it is worse than the day itself xxx

orestyemerrywombat · 21/12/2010 11:54

Dachs problems seem amazingly common once you start talking to people. I told a friend about my mc and she confessed that she'd had three :( But on the upsidie she now has two lovely girls.

RudolfThePinkNosedReindeer · 21/12/2010 12:08

Ok ladies, RTD arrived, as predicted Xmas Sad Am gutted. Was about to update the list but not sure whether to count this as another MC - seeing as I was pg for a grand total of between one and three days this time it seems like a bit of a pisstake to call it one but it certainly emotionally feels like one because like a total nob, I allowed myself to get excited Xmas Sad. Roll on 2011, I so hope it's better than this year.....

orestyemerrywombat · 21/12/2010 12:13

Oh Pink. Huge squishy hugs for you my lovely. I'm so so sorry. Don't beat yourself up for getting excited. We would all be exactly the same and we all understand that you'll need to grieve for this loss too. If there is any consolation at all, maybe it is that your body will get over a CP more quickly than a MC. I hope early 2011 brings you a sticky bean xxx

pink big hugs from me too. Don't feel silly for getting excited, I for one totally understand that, you must be feeling totally let down. Its bloody unfair but you will get there. Here's to 2011 and a fresh start.

Dachs wow to guilt ipads! Not sure where I'm going wrong in my DH training here... Agree with others that once you open up about miscarriage/infertility you definitely find it is more common that you expect. I have been surprised by some people who appear to be popping out babies without a second thought actually haven't had it that easy when you speak to them about it.

Struggling a bit to keep up with you lot today, you chat fast!

youremindmeofthebaubles · 21/12/2010 12:55

oh pink. Hugs for you. It's so hard.

izz thinking of you today. Hopefully you may feel a teensy bit of closure, I know I have a bit.

If my posts are wierd for a while it's cos of new iphone. Anyone got app recommendations?

RudolfThePinkNosedReindeer · 21/12/2010 13:04

Thanks for hugs all. On upside at least I can start the blood tests to monitor cycle tomorrow so if there is something sinister going on hopefully they'll find it.

baubles definitely get angry birds! I have a number of other completely rubbish ones too.....

IzzyWizzyletsgetChristmassy · 21/12/2010 13:32

Aaaww thanks for thinking of me girls, you are so fab, one and all

so far, so not-too-bad, we've been busy though, took ds to do his 50m swimming this morning (go, ds!) and this afternoon we're making candle decorations as grandparent pressies and doing sky lanterns if the weather holds. DH either hasn't remembered or isn't mentioning it, which is a bit weird....

Anyway big big (((hugs))) for pink - so sorry it didn't work out, I really really hoped it was going to happen for you this time. Hope you're ok xxx

any news from aandr or orange ??

dachs sorry about the meltdown although sometimes it's just better to let it out. I agree it's amazing and sad how many people have been affected by infertility and miscarriage, once you start talking about it Xmas Sad

wombat I'm with you on the weary swi-ing, fx you'll get confirmation of ov soon and can have a break x

Velvetstocking · 21/12/2010 13:45

toy Izz i definately feel better now that date has gone.

Sorry Pink I too would have been super excited so dont feel stupid for that. Big hugs to you.

Baubles I second angry birds. The Met weather app has been really good these past few weeks and also there is the usualy FB and MSN messenger. Also get emoji for loads of emotes to annoy people with Xmas Grin

I am nearly finished xmas shopping!

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 21/12/2010 13:54

I quite like tha apps for kids baublebabe. Ds always uses my phone for Thomas games, dressing and undressing angelina ballerina which ishis fav !! News apps, tesco, and the list goes on!!

Izz glad you are ok lovely xx men don't remember things like that, sadly! It will prob come to him tonight xx

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 21/12/2010 13:55

Hugs pink xxx

MamaChristmas · 21/12/2010 14:25

Pink Big hugs hon. Im on Day 3 so we're pretty much cycle buddies for the first new year cycle and since I can't seem to actually stick to my attempt to ''forget'' about it (ttc)'' and just ''let nature take it's course and stop stressing'', I may as well stop my pathetic attempt to lurk and just stick around a bit, at least you lot keep me sane! Oh and pink as both of us were due in Jan I would really like it if we could be blessed with a little bean each next cycle please... someone let the stork know me and Pink would be v grateful Xmas Grin

IzzyWizzyletsgetChristmassy · 21/12/2010 15:47

mamac good to have you back on board, hopefully it won't be for too long! Please can I put my name down for one of those New Year babies?!

Btw has anyone heard from mummybells recently - haven't seen her around and just wondering if she's ok?

MummyBellsAllTheWay · 21/12/2010 17:38

Here I am! Coming to you via an iPad by the pool!!!!

Sorry I didn't get a chance to let you all know I am off on hols, family arrived,DS got my horrible flu bug and we all struggled off to the beach. DS is better now and we are all enjoying the sun.

Izz hope the due date was ok, my dh didn't remember either, but I didn't bother me too much, I think it was a much more important event for me than him. Hugs xxxx

Pink sorry about your chemical pg. Thats very unfair on top of what you have already been through, and no doubt will bring up lots of negative feelings from the mc. Huge hugs to you too, hope you find the strength to get through it. Xxxx

everyone else. Sorry havent read back more than a page so I don't know what you are up to. I have missed all your sage words and silly banter Grin if I don't get the chance to say it later then VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!

loola2snowshus · 21/12/2010 19:11

I must not be talking enough as thread had disappeared of my 'threads I'm on' so a quicky to get it back!

pink & Izz hugs to you both

Next time somebody does the list will you drop me down to the bottom, even though spotting hasn't turned into a 'proper' full AF I am still going to count yesterday as CD1 as turned red then (sorry TMI)I also had PMT so think it is a proper AF just a Light one as its only been 17days since the last one!

Good news though, Dr has agreed to refer me to Gynae so hopefully will get some answers, not that I will get any help with FT as I have 2 dcs already (both conceived privately with IUI & IVF, but last PG was natural!)it still might help get cycles back on track which in turn would help with TTC IYSWIM

Big tinselly hugs to everyone x

CaribouMoo · 21/12/2010 19:44

Pink I'm really sorry to hear that pal. I'd been lurking hoping to see some good news from you. Of course its going to hurt no matter how early, its only natural to get excited regardless of what's gone before. Take care of yourself -- and you too Izzy. Men are wired totally differently, I often had to explain my feelings and relevance of days to a bemused DH.

Hope everyone else is well - wishing for those 2011 sticky beans for you all x

tigger15 · 21/12/2010 20:00

Donteatorangesnow were you referring to the bug or AF? If the latter you're prophetic as she got me later today. So

Oh well, appointment tomorrow.

RudolfThePinkNosedReindeer · 21/12/2010 21:41

My, the witch has been busily zooming round the country these last few days hasn't she! Xmas Sad

Thanks for being so lovely everyone, I really appreciate the moral support - it has been one of the shitter days of this year..... Special shoutout to caribou, hope you and bump are doing well!

izz I'm glad the weather was good enough to let off your sky lanterns, hope you're ok. Maybe DH did remember but didn't want to say anything to set you off if you were being strong IYSWIM

tigger good luck for your appointment tomorrow x

loola sorry your cycles are being so mental - good work getting the referral. Fingers crossed it'll get sorted and a BFP will come your way soon.

mummybells Xmas Envy at you being in the sun grrrrrrr hope DS feels better v. soon

mamac will gladly be your cycle buddy Xmas Grin Thanks for having a chat with the stork for me!! It's nice to have you back, we missed you while you were on your lurker break!

Sorry if I missed anyone or messed up the list below, I've got a headache from eating half a giant toblerone..... Xmas Hmm Who was it that was detoxing next year - sign me up onto that list too!! (once I've finished munching my way through all the brie I bought today in rage that I'm not preg....)
