The resurrection of the 6th form common room for those inbetweeners who are TTC/PG after mc and are too long in the tooth to fit anywhere else

[notsobarrenmorebrokenbrook]

The resurrection of the 6th form common room, a place to put your feet up, wallow in self pity (me) or rejoice (and tremble in fright) at new growing beans and baybees after mc. No lists. No stats. No babydust. No feeling bad if you can't keep up.

Go.

sorry, how rude of me! hope you are well

Thinking of you today ladybee. Big ((hugs)) x

battery hope it's not too uncomfortable - lots of painkillers beforehand, remember!! x

Morning all, thanks for putting up with my whinge. Hope you're all doing ok today, just popped in to say I hope all goes ok for you today bee will be thinking of you xxx

Just popping in to give lady and battery a goodluck hug before I go to work, thinking of you both

Mummya I had a HSG a few years ago and it was clear so I think that they are quite happy with that unless they find something which needs more investigation when they are doing the lap IYSWIM

battery sorry chick, forgot to say good luck for you too. Boots do an awesome migraine and tension relief tablet that is really strong, it has a muscle relaxant in, I'll be taking them when I go for my hsg next week so would recommend if its not too late for you to get them before the procedure.

running late as usual
but squeeze for Bee and Hen

BBB I know where you're at, pleased but empty and unsure. Know nothing about NK cells, but know the testing thread will help. Will msg you later xx

Wave to all.

Very late will be back later for proper catch up but saying good luck to battery and ladybee. Big hugs. Sending strength xx

Hi all

I am probably too late to wish LadyB and Battery good luck. Hope it all went well ladies. Hope the nurses and your DH's are looking after you both.

thanks for the Izz

Just back from the hospital. It was a bit crampy but not too bad as I was dosed up to the eyeballs with pain killers. I did have a few tears - emotional rather than painful!

thank you to all the kind words and good luck wishes. Good news is all looks normal, no sign of scarring or adhesions. They also took a sample of lining too. They reckon lining looked good and think maybe I am just slow at recovering from my erpc which does not surprise me considering I took 9 weeks of bleeding after my first MC!

Ironic thing is now I am bleeding bright red blood which is a good thing I hope.

lady if you are up and about I hope you are doing ok today - as well as you can be.

Anyone seen mouse recently??

Big fat (((((hugs))))) for battery and lady

BB double edged sword that one; sorry the results didn't reveal a problem that they could just fix but also pleased they couldn't find a problem... iykwim

Waves to Izzy yrmotb Jolls loola

Hi battery glad it went "OK". I had bright red bleeding both after my operative hysteroscopy and HSG. Nurses told me both times to expect it, and unless I started soaking a pad an hour that it was completely normal. Excellent news that you got the all clear!! I am so pleased that you dont have to go through the any of this AS madness!! much love xxx

Hi ladies,

battery I'm pleased the hsg went ok. I was offered one back in the summer if I didn't get pg within 6 months and was warned then it would 'be uncomfortable' which I know is medical speak for 'bloody painful' so I take my hat of to you and all those who've gone through that.

mummy hope all is progressing well. Have you had anymore bloods done?

yrmotb how are you feeling a few days into the new cycle? Hope you're ok.

bbb sorry the tests didn't give you the answers you were looking for. I k ow how disheartening it can be.

Today was our cremation service and it went ok. Obviously we've been there before so we knew what would happen. It was peaceful but over v quickly. It felt very sad to have been there twice in 4 months. It was quite busy this time. DH and I tried to make the most of our day together and we've been out for tea tonight.

Tomorrow is fanjo cam day so am off to shave my legs for the first time in quite a while - wish me luck!

Big (((hugs))) mouse I know the cremation service isn't easy and I'm sorry you've had to go there again, but I'm glad it was peaceful for you xxx

ladybee I hope you are doing ok and getting lots of rl hugs xxxx

battery glad you survived!

bb hope you are feeling a bit less deflated today?

yrmotb are you ok? Have I managed to tempt you to chuck away the thermometer yet?!

Hope everyone else is ok. I have an unexpected day off work tomorrow as Arse Boss has not bothered to sort out with HR when I am working this month and there's no way I'm doing any extra hours before I know I'll be paid for it!!! This is nice in that I have a more chilled out week but in reality means I'm going to feel obliged to do some housework tomorrow

On the bright side, I have talked dh into getting a pet and we are going to look at guinea pigs tomorrow and at the weekend. I have two happy dcs

Just popping in to see how it went mouse was thinking of you. Know it's a difficult day so pleased to hear that it was a peaceful service and that you did sth nice afterwards. Good luck tomorrow xx

Waves to Izzy, enjoy your day off, and to everyone else.

special hugs for bee. Hope the EPRC went as smoothly as it could my lovely and you can start to try and recover xxxx

battery glad the HSG went well, i hope you arent too sore today xxx

Special squishes for mouse, it cant have been an easy day lovely, well done for getting through it x

Hello all.

bee hope you're tucked up and looking after yourself. Even better if someone else is able to do that for you, but not always possible, hey.

bb sorry that the anticipated closure/ plan of action wasn't forth-coming. Presumably they don't routinely check for NK cells on the NHS?

mouse glad it was peaceful and you got some time with DH. Good luck for the scan today.

izz in a way you have persuaded me. Thought I might just abandon the temping and follow SMEG plan again. Don't know if i'll just be extra stressy as won't know if ov on day, 20/22 or 26 or anything inbetween I guess I haven't really decided. Have you put FF on hold?

How are you doing caribmoo? What's going on with work?

We used to have guinea pigs when I was younger called Elvis and Frogmella (fast show). They're really loud but quite affectionate.

battery yey for the bleeding! glad it went ok. When are you off, next week?

Waves to loola velvet mummya freezing jolls ali and nix and all lurkers.

Popping in to send my love to ladybee I hope you are getting lots of support and being looked after well at home.

hi all, thanks very much for all the good wishes, it's lovely to see.
The ERPC was scheduled for 6 yesterday evening and it all went super smoothly, I was very impressed with the care at the private hospital. I've never had 'bad' care at an NHS hospital but it was striking to see what a difference it made in waiting times etc - I was in at 4:30 and home right on schedule at 9pm. No problems afterwards, a bit achey this morning and a sore throat but otherwise physically fine.

Emotionally, actually, I'm ok today and was ok yesterday too. Had a really bad day on Tuesday and big cry, which I think helped. I guess it builds up and breaks out doesn't it. You can't spend all day every day crying and now I know that it's not all the immediately aftermath but the weeks and months after that can be really tough. I'm struggling with the time frames and milestones already, knowing that I won't have a baby when another birthday and Christmas comes around is already making me feel sad (and my birthday is in November!)

Aye well. I DO have an enormous life change coming up and lots to do before that comes along. But not today. Today I am on the couch, watching day-time tv and thinking about what to have for lunch.

I think I'm going to put myself on a WTTC part of the common room list. Feel a bit lost without a list

It's great to read some positivity in your post ladybee As far as lunch goes I hear chocolate is very good at mending broken hearts

ha! Great minds...chloe, I have just had a row of dairy-milk

Hi LadyB Glad to hear the care was really good, hope the coming days weeks are not too rough on you. The ladies on the mother thread asked me if they thought you would rather be taken off the BFP list over there and I said you probably would (hope that was the right thing to do) so you are on WTTC over there, and i have added you on our list here

ladybee I'm glad you were well looked after, and hope over the next few days, weeks, months you see a way forward through the tricky milestones and key dates xx

yrmotb I couldn't quite bring myself to put ff on hold, although I haven't been on there at all, which makes it a waste of money, I know. We have fallen off the SMEP wagon atm, having only swi'd once on about cd9 and it's cd13 today, so if I want to stand any chance this month we need to get on with it. I usually ov on cd17 though so there's still time, I guess. I've been pondering the question of whether to use opks from cd14 to check ov happens at usual time or just to leave it and swi every other day until we get fed up. Have not touched the thermometer or cbfm though

I started clearing out the playroom earlier and moved some more too-babyish toys into the spare room to join the pile of things waiting to go. Shed a few tears packing up some of the stuff that I remember ds getting for his first birthday (6.5 years ago!!) that him and dd have played with. I usually pretend the pile of baby toys/things aren't there but I did have a look at them today and it was a bit sad. I wonder if we'll ever use them again

Izzy you have plenty of time to still be in with a chance this month. I used OPKS for the first time this month and I actually found them really useful and have put my mind at rest that I def ovulated. Not sure how I'd have felt if I didn't get a +ve from them though, would've prob just put it down to them being crap

Hi Izz it might not feel like it because you are doing less this month, but its sounds like you are bang on track. You have said before that if you start SWI too early you both run out of energy at the crucial time, and here you are CD13 all rested and ready to go! Less is definitely more (Personally I would do the OPK's, but you know me I like having as much info as poss.) Have you decided to save up for testing then? xx

mouse I wiped away a tear thinking of you at your cremation service. I hope it helped in some way. I'm fine. I have promised myself I will do more bloods if I have another bleed - but so far so good. To be honest I am not really worried about the very early stages (I am not even 5 weeks yet) because my mmc was a late one (14weeks), so I think I will be more worried later, especially after 8/9 weeks when the placenta is up and running fully.

Ok then. SMEP and opk, no temping. My SIL is having a baby soon, and i've totally been giving all my stuff away, clothes, baby stuff, prams. It's making me very in case I don't get to have another too.

chloe How are you doing?

mummya coloured knickers? woo hoo, get you xx
