Had a miscarriage and ready to try again? This is the place for you, support in the form of virtual wine, chocolate and a great big shoulder to cry on (tears not essential). The new year beckons us, lots of BFP's for everyone

UCL= Usual cycle Length
CD= cycle day

Nooo I like seeing the BFPs scattered through the list and it also makes it easy to see who is coming up to the test-zone. You're not cluttering up the place Nix you've kept those pee-sticks very neatly arranged. Grin

I have just been staring at my chart, willing it to be a little further along. Can't believe AF isn't due for a couple of days.

And...sob...all my make-believe symptoms are gone. I can't even symptom spot for fun. This cycle is rubbish.

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 01/01/2011 22:42

Just popping on to give big (((hugs))) to ladybee - remember it's not over till she's here, so don't give up yet!

I understand what you're saying (and pink ) about not temping after ov, although personally I like to see what's going on, and it gives me a bit of warning of af coming too so it's not such a shock.

Would be lovely to see some new year bfps...good luck vibes to all...

MummyAbroad · 02/01/2011 00:35

Save me a seat! I'm still on hols, but its the last day so we will be driving home tomorrow and then I will be able to do a big catch up and find out what you have all been up to!

Its my last day of HRT today so I will be able to get my coil out soon and join you again on the big list Grin ShockGrin

HongKongSantaBaby · 02/01/2011 06:04

Hello, thanks for the new thread yrmotb. I'll just find myself a comfy seat here and tuck into the wine (if there is any left....)

Hope Ochaye, Hadrian and the other new arrivals are doing okay.

Pink so sorry you're feeling down right now. I hope you have something to smile about in the next few weeks. Did you say you're going to have some hypnotherapy? I did this to give up smoking after many failed attempts on my own, 1 hour, done and dusted never wanted another ciggie. Powerful stuff, hope it helps.

MamaP good luck with the SWI'ing!

Chin up Ladybeen its not over yet.

How are you doing Wombat?

Not much news from me, just trying to take it on the chin that multiple friends seem to be giving birth left, right and centre and I should have been doing likewise in a few weeks Sad. Nevermind, we will all get there Smile

dAncerandRudolfsMum · 02/01/2011 07:47

Ooo new thread ... up for doing some wallpapering Nix ?

Pink your MIL sounds fab. A mind shift really is the only thing we can do and it is very hard to achieve on your own. Fx you come out it bright and shiny pink raring to go.

wombat come down off your hill - remote walking gives too much time to think!!! Sending sticky thoughts your way.

We have a tidy house, no house guests for the first time in weeks and we head off to Oz in 10 days - this is going to be a good year

dAncerandRudolfsMum · 02/01/2011 07:55

Sips ponacolada - MummyA looking forward to you joining us. I am determined to have a non mentalling couple of cycles. I have decided the next bean will be in Nov for my birthday so have given myself the next two cycles off - all in the head as of course we will be SWIing madly but af arrival is going to be expected!

ladyb hopefully your temps are just waiting to do a Nix and wombat Pre BFP mountain landscape!

dAncerandRudolfsMum · 02/01/2011 07:59

Oh and LadyB no symptoms is actually the best ones to have - every BFP has come after no symptoms - sore boobs, feeling ill etc never starts for me' until around week 6 and if it is early then they are af signs not preggers ones.

OrangeGloss · 02/01/2011 08:04

Morning everyone, TMI alert but I've just been to the loo and there's pinky-brown blood and am now scared shitless. It's only a bit but now I'm terrified that's it. My scan was booked for 8 weeks and I'm 6+4. What should I do? Sorry, I'm a bit of a mess :(

OrangeGloss · 02/01/2011 08:05

Ok now it's bright red :(

PrettyVacant1 · 02/01/2011 08:33

Orange honey, I'm sorry to be brief, legging it into work in 3 mins.
Don't panic just yet, is there any pain?
Can you get to an EPU first thing in the morning.
I'm sorry this is happening, don't Google, have a sweet cup of tea and put your feet up xxxx

RudolfThePinkNosedReindeer · 02/01/2011 08:36

orange try your very hardest not to panic and get straight on the phone to epu / gp (if you need them to authorise epu). Make a HUGE fuss and insist you get a scan today. ((( huge hugs ))) I'm keeping everything crossed that your beam is firmly affixed and your body is just winding you up. Xxxxxxx

nickstermum · 02/01/2011 08:52

Orange, try not to panic lovely :( impossible I know! Get yourself to epu today if poss ! You can self refer, thro a mw or gp whichever is quickest

So sorry this is happening, it does not mean it's all over babes xx

OrangeGloss · 02/01/2011 09:02

Thanks, I've got a scan at 11 tomorrow, the Dr said was the earliest. I'm now going checking every few minutes, in a bit of a state :(

Is now a tiny bit and pinkish-brown. I was so hoping this time would be different. It was one wipe of red, but now I'm monitoring every twinge :(

nickstermum · 02/01/2011 09:14

Ah orange, if it's only a tiny bit when you wipe it could just be a bit of dislodged lining from implantation. I know exactly how you feel, knicker checking every 5 mins, fraught with anxiousness.

Great you have a scan lovely, it will give you some early reassurance xx

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 02/01/2011 09:15

orange good news re the appointment, although v frustrating that you have to wait overnight. If you are going crazy, try ringing round for a private appointment today. Sorry this is happening - I know it's terrifying - but please try to remember it does not necessarily mean anything. I had bleeding in various shades of brown/pink/red three times and it was fine, sometimes it just happens. Will be thinking of you and am sending big (((hugs))) and sticky thoughts your way xx

nickstermum · 02/01/2011 09:15

Ps it's around the same time the brown started for me I think? Burrowing I hope x

HongKongSantaBaby · 02/01/2011 09:16

orange thinking of you, it really could be fine you know, hope you get some reassurance tomorrow, ((hugs))

Mamapower · 02/01/2011 09:36

big hugs Orange

Morning everyone else, oh and I did keep my promise to catch up but it was one of the last messages on the old fred so if you've missed it pop back there!

ochaye · 02/01/2011 10:14

Wowee pink - positive affirmations sounds like a really interesting step. I'll be really keen to hear how you get on!

Oh orange, I hope you're resting up. I don't think there's anything else you can do to stop you worrying until you have your scan tomorrow. It's absolutely not over though. It could be any number of things - or nothing at all. Have you got a good book you can lose yourself in?

I finally got a normal temperature this morning so am feeling a bit better about being back to normal. Got some sad news from a friend this morning though (she mc'd over New Year but lost her baby at one week old earlier this year so it was a poignant pregnancy). It's only 10am and has already been a roller coaster day.

orestyemerrywombat · 02/01/2011 11:28

Morning all. Can get some phone reception if I hang out of upstairs window of cottage! Hurrah!

orange hugs lovely. As nix says, it could well be implantation blood. I'm keeping everything crossed for you xxx I found watching trashy films or tv box sets helps take my mind of things.

No change here. Still testing positive but no symptoms and lines no darker on the FR tests. I'm feeling a little bit more zen than yesterday because I've resigned myself to the fact it.s not going to happen. Still hoping of course but preparing myself for the worst.

Anyone got any idea what might cause repeated pg failure at such an early stage? It seems the same as last time because although I should have been 7 weeks when I mc when they scanned me they said there was nothing to see so it must have failed really early on and been reabsorbed. I'm wondering whether there's anything I could do now that would improve the chances like take aspirin, or if it.s already too late?

RudolfThePinkNosedReindeer · 02/01/2011 11:31

orange good work on appointment tomorrow. Fingers crossed for burrowing-remember mousey was losing clots and she was fine so you should try not to assume the worst (clearly I'm much better at dishing this advice out than putting it into practice myself....)
I agree with Ochaye devouring a book would be good, or maybe an inane DVD like Sound of music or Gavin and Stacey or something like that? And get as much sleep as you can. Is DH around today? Xx

Ochaye really sorry about your friend :( puts my whinging about 2010 being a shite year into perspective Blush

RudolfThePinkNosedReindeer · 02/01/2011 11:48

mummya fab news about your imminent restarting of ttc! I might not be able to get over my Envy at your amazing sounding holiday enough to talk to you tho Grin

aandr wow going to oz in 10 days time??? That really is a fab way to start the year!

HK sorry you're having tough time, sounds like you're managing to stay quite zen about it tho which is fab. You'll be joining your friends in babyness soon hopefully!!

izz really glad to hear you got through a tough Christmas ok

wombie please don't fall out if the window!!! Really sorry things are still stressful for you. I don't have any advice as I am completely clueless about this stuff.

dachs how are you doing?

waves to mamap and nix! pretty I can't believe you're at work today you poor thing!!

Hope I haven't missed anyone, it wasn't intentional! I have got the most fantastic EWCM coming out of my nose!!! If it would just cone out oft fanjo too I would be a v happy girl!!! I haven't been on the grapefruit juice yet this month as I'm afraid of what it might do to my nose!!!! Shock right, should probably get out of bed
now I guess!!! Xx

HidingInTheUndergrowth · 02/01/2011 11:57

Big ((hugs)) orange.

Are you getting sharp pains as well? If not then everything is probably fine. Even if you are then it isn't necessarily over. Try repeating to yourself 'some bleeding in pregnancy is surprisingly common'. Really it is! My sil bled pretty much throughout the whole of her second one.

Watching a stupid film sounds like a good idea or watching bad tv. Take it easy and think positive thoughts. We are thinking of you.

OrangeGloss · 02/01/2011 12:20

Thanks for everyone's kind words, I have (decaf) tea on constant supply, have just eaten half a box of Thorntons Blush and am watching the Inbetweeners with hugs from DH. It's reassuring to hear some positive outcomes, and really appreciated

Wombat there's still hope, with 2 lines and no AF? Sorry it's not more positive news. I don't know about early failure, hopefully someone else will be of more use soon
Ochaye so sorry about your friend :( what a terrible thing to happen, an awful start to the new year

youremindmeofthebabe · 02/01/2011 12:33

Try not to worry orange. It sounds like youre doing all you can, chilling and looking after yourself. Good luck for tomorrow.

I am on day 20ish, so just waiting for my ff line to be drawn around now. Have actually DTD loads this month, but im sure the alcohol intake will negate it all!

Kind of looking forward to my detox now izz!Good food and exercise in this space from Tuesday!

Hope everyone else is well.

wombat a line, is a line is a line, but any BFP discovered before AF is due can be extra worrying. Good luck!

I might join the no temping after Ov this month, those peaks and troughs really warp me out..

Sent DP off on a 5 hour bike ride with his friend. Hope hes not too tired later, this may be my last day!!Wink
