This is the place to be for all those wanting to TTC after miscarriage, or have plans on TTC in the relatively near future. This thread is full of support from people who have been there and no how you are feeling so jump on board and share the Wine and chocolate (or water and celery for those of you off alcohol and caffeine Wink)

The thread moves fast so bob in and out as you please. Ask any questions that have been niggling you or that you are concerned about, perhaps someone here has experienced the same in the past.

If you want to join the stats, just add yourself to the list:

WTTC = waiting to TTC
UCL = usual cycle length

Good luck to all - here's hoping for lots of healthy, sticky BFPs by the end of the thread

Mel you poor thing, today must be really hard for you. Hope you are ok. Its Friday, so have some virtual Wine with us on here.

cep · 18/02/2011 14:31

mel so sorry today is hard, it's horrible meeting all those milestone that you look forward to when pg.

ok rant time.

dr just called back. says it's only in recurring pregnancies (info just said increased risk of m/c nothing about recurring m/cs) they tend to worry about it. (ok fine kinda) then said as i've never had one??? and had healthy ds from before they probably wouldn't worry about it. and that if i am pg this cycle will treat. i said sorry not had one what? she said m/c. i said i have, i had 1 in dec, that's why i got so worried about it, because i have had a m/c and am trying again. wtf read the notes before calling me ended ok though said to wait for results to confirm as it was only her suspected diagnosis (fair enough i admit i was probably being over the top)then it till end of cycle and treat during af. not quit sue why have to wait to be honest unless she's thinking different meds. but as result due only a few days before af is i don't mind so much.

did any of that make sense? or did i rant too much. Grin

cep · 18/02/2011 14:32

lily sorry to say sod the virtual i think i'll be hitting the real Wine

cep · 18/02/2011 14:32

sorry there was supposed to be a Grin after that

WildSheepChase · 18/02/2011 14:46

mellie- let yourself feel what you need to. x

lily06 · 18/02/2011 15:16

Cep that's awful, feel very Angry on your behalf. You'd think they'd read up a bit first. Mind you, the hosp never bother to write to my GP, so they don't have half the information they should anyway.

Ok, Wine all round then - has to be virtual just now for me, since I'm still at work

meliesmummy · 18/02/2011 15:32

Wine cheers! To all then...mine will be real later!

meliesmummy · 18/02/2011 15:33

(although part of me still feels like drinking it isn't allowed :( )

cep · 18/02/2011 15:34

oh she knew, lily i was in there yesterday talking about ttc again. She said oh you did didn't you.

cep · 18/02/2011 15:34

mel know how you feel hon, just remember even pg you can have 1-2 small glasses 1-2 times a week.

MumTumWanted · 18/02/2011 16:10

Great news aandr im so pleased for you , your the first bfp i think ive witnessed on here GrinGrinGrinGrin

so bring out the wine ...

Wine WineWine Wine[wine[ WineWine WineWine Wine

cep · 18/02/2011 16:18

mumtum normally she's lovely, but she was on emergency callbacks so was probably frazzled and prob thought i was being well ott. i just couldn't believe she obviously hadn't read that far on my notes to remember i'd m/c only 2 months ago.

hooray for bright line on opk.

ok i've reattached my chart below (if i remember). when you're in go to the top left and it says add to friends. clicking on there invites others. (otherwise i think you need e-mail addresses) once someone is your friend you can go to home page(in list on left) brings up a few tabs, friends is one of them click that and it'll bring up a list of friends. click on one should show you their list. but i think they need to have put details on. when in friends you can also change your nickname so it should change to your name rather than number. (mines cep)

here almost forgot.

Velvetcu · 18/02/2011 17:01

Thanks for moving me to the bfps list - it's very scary seeing my name on there!

Hope you are all good, hello to the new people.

cep · 18/02/2011 17:06

congratulations velvet am so so pleased for you.

Blackkat · 18/02/2011 17:12

Big Congrats velvet Grin

Thank Crunchie it's Friday , just nipping in to lay out the
Wine Wine Wine Wine for the wknd.

Hope you all have something to look forward to over the wknd Smile

cep glad GP rang eventually, tho bit confused bout what she said to you.

arti Grin at you and your smuggling!

wild glad you got the appt, not long to wait Smile

meliesmum those milestones are tough aren't they, thinking of you - we got a wedding invite yesterday, for a wedding I didn't think we'd be going to bcs it was a week after my due date..I blubbed Sad

Chloe hope you had a good day.

xx

meliesmummy · 18/02/2011 17:24

Two positives?! This thread must be lucky, glad I joined! Congrats velvet!

We had a wedding in France around my edd, I said my dh couldn't go just in case and there was no way I'd have made it...not sure what to do now as I hope to be preg by then but I'll be far to scared to go abroad, on the other hand can I stop him from going? And wgat if im not? We need to reply by next week...decisions decisions! He's got a stag weekend next weekend too and then that weddings coming up...I was meant to be showing off a bump, it's funny tho that something held me back from buying a maternity dress. I think I always knew...

Its our dds birthday tomorrow, we've bought her a bike but now with her leg in a cast I'm not sure how that'll go. She's demanding a birthday lunch at the pub (wonder where she gets that from?! ;)

cep · 18/02/2011 17:27

blackkat sorry the invite upset you. Sad are you feeling a bit better now? Positive thinking you could be nice and pg by then.

Basically i've got to wait for confirmation of her diagnosis once test results come back on thursday. if it's a yes then i should get some antibiotics (now that she's remembered i've had an mc) so either pg or not i should get ab's.

cep · 18/02/2011 17:31

mel happy birthday to your dd, hope she has a fantastic day.

Blackkat · 18/02/2011 17:36

cep I'm just being a dimwit, sorry! Get it now, at least you are getting some ab's either way. Good!

melies that's a bit of a dilemma...hmm, no easy solution eh?
Hope DD has good bday, pub lunch sounds nice Smile

Oh and arti I meant to say I loved the tea idea, I shall be offering him "baldrick coffee"!!

Collie2 · 18/02/2011 17:49

CEP you go right ahead and rant. Your GP sounds like they could have handled it better, I can't believe she didn't know you'd had a mc, that's shocking. And of course you're going to worry. I googled BV and it's nothing to be ashamed of, and as mumtum says we talk about all sorts on here. From what I read it didn't sound like it's was just recurrent mc but as you said GP not sure that's the diagnosis so try not to worry to much over the weekend. How are you feeling this afternoon? X

Also, thank you for doing the stats I'm very grateful. Don't worry about losing the grads, clearly a mistake, I'm sure everone knew that and I'm sure noone was offended....it's only a list Grin.

melies sorry you're having a hard day. Milestones are hard. How have you been? X

mumtum I'm currently in the car 2 blocks away posting as DH home!!! Reminded me of you!!! Closet MNer!!! Grin Good luck Swi!!!

Mumtum if you post a link to your ff page on here I'll freind request you. Or you can look for mine, I posted it a day or so ago and friend request me.

, happy Friday x

meliesmummy · 18/02/2011 17:59

collie it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...I certainly thought about it (ie, in another life I'm having cold gel put on my tummy) prob bcos at 3:30 I went to get dd up from her nap and she'd wet the bed for the first time in months so I was distracted by stripping her bed and sorting her out. Thanks for asking.

Collie2 · 18/02/2011 18:00

blackkat sorry about your invite. I know the feeling, one of by best friends got engaged on V day and I expect she'll get hitched this summer, for which I should have been either heavily pg or with child. Gutted, even saddened DH to think about it. The fact that life goes on just sucks!!

Collie2 · 18/02/2011 18:01

velvet congrats on the bfp!!!! Good luck x

Ninunina · 18/02/2011 18:28

Congratulations AandR & Velvet!!! Yay for the SMEG plan :)

Who's next????

maybebabyR · 18/02/2011 18:56

cep you are right to feel let down, and I would make sure GP knows it. Somehow when I was referred to EPU after bleeding, my GP had said that I was there following the morning after pill.

Needless to say, the way the they acted when I was there was a tad abrupt, which made me quite upset (DH couldn't get time off work). Only on the way out did they realise, and turn round and say 'oh, so this is bad news then'.

Not a god experience, but I don't blame the EPU, just the GP.

Sorry, me me me rant over!

Velvet huge congrats, you must be over the moon!! {grin}
