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

hadrian hi. it is difficult pg women seem to be everywhere, shortly after mine i had a friend who already has 2 dc's announce she was pg with twins. my other friend had her ds. an old school friend announced on fb she was pg. Todays my first hurdle af due date, i may just make myself comfy upstairs on the loo with a good book/my ds for the day.

tokyo i'm sorry things have been so tough lately, i hope dd gets better soon.

mel sorry hon i remember you saying something about that before. A hard job as it is i would imagine without the tough time you're going through at the moment. an hour to work cor that's horrible, especially if you don't feel like going in. Just don't forget we're here for you to vent to even about work if you need us. There does seem to be quite a few/most of us who have mc on their second.

Tokyotwist · 26/02/2011 09:07

Hi Melie, I know what you mean about 2nd pregnancies. In my group of 9 friends, 7 have had mcs with their 2nd pregnancies.
Thing is, I can't think why this would be the case. It is very odd though.

Ninunina · 26/02/2011 09:11

My experience in RL is many ppl lose thier 1st pregnancy. Out of my group of friends, 4 of us want a baby, 3 had a mc with 1st pregnancy and 1 of us is having difficulty conceiving. Thankfully one is now 6 months pg, so hopefully we'll have 1 baby in 2011.

You are right mellie that most ppl here are ttc#2. Maybe more mummy's use MN so it scews the stats.

Collie2 · 26/02/2011 10:18

cep your worrying is only natural, but hopefully it will go swimmingly and you'll have nothing left to worry about!

iggy welcome, I'm so sorry for your loss but I'm glad you've found us. I've seen you on the nov bus but I stuggle to keep up with both threads so don't post often. Everyone is really lovely here so feel free to use us as support or a friendly ear to rant at! X

Hi Hadrian how was your week at work? I think pg people are stalking us! I feel the same. I can't get over the number of pg announcements recently. 3 in a week! Thankfully people I don't see too often. Someone brought their new born twins to work yesterday but thankfully I was in a meeting and missed the whole affair!

melies that's really good of your DH to not go, I can imagine it's the last thing he felt like doing and would only be worrying about you. How are you feeling today. It's very dull and wet here today but I hope it's sunnier where you are and you do something nice x

I don't know many people trying for their 2nd DC but when I mc a friend did tell me all of her friends who where pg or trying lost their first. I think it's very common to lose your first..... But noone told me this before I had a mc. I just thought the chances of mc were the same regardless.

melies I drive an hour to work too. Sometimes I cry on the way, but in a way it's a good thing as it gives me quiet alone time to be sad and get it out of my system.

Tokyo sorry your having a hard time a the moment.

I fell asleep infront of the TV last night so feeling refreshed. Woke up at 4 this morning which had messed up my temps again though!

Hope everyone is ok?

Ninunina · 26/02/2011 12:42

It's quiet in here today....where is everyone? It's awful weather in London today, and I'm stumped as to what to do...don't really fancy getting wet.

Does anyone have any advice about taking Baby Asprin? Would it be silly of me to take it post ov if it hasn't been prescribed by GP? I'm usually like everything to be as natural and organic as possible. I don't take painkillers unless I'm in agony and try to take natural vits & minerals rather than supplements, except for Folic Acid...but I will do anything to have a sticky bean next time round.

Has anyone researched this?

cep · 26/02/2011 13:20

hi all, have just got back from my first cinema experience with ds. actually wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. ds wasn't to bad, started getting bored nearish the end, wuld have been ok if we'd had more sweeties.

ninu i found this you'veprobably seen it before though. baby aspirin

collie we had a bad night with ds awake from 3:30 on and off. Sad sooo tired.

meliesmummy · 26/02/2011 14:07

How are things looking today Cep? My dd loves the cinema, we went to tangled last week and saw a trailer for Winnie the pooh and now she keeps asking to go and see that! I think it's as much about the popcorn as the film for her tho! (she gets that from me!)

I'm sorry to hear that the weather in london is awful, we've had it in Swansea all week but today the suns out so we took dd out to a farm centre and then pub lunch on the way home, it was a nice morning.

Hope you all have nice weekends x

banana87 · 26/02/2011 15:06

EWCM here!!! Very exciting esp as we have SWI the last 3 days!

Blackkat · 26/02/2011 16:21

Hello everyone - welcome to iggly so sorry to hear your story, I hope this thread provides you with support!

Melies I hope your family weekend cheers you up sounds like you need it. ((big hugs)) to you and to tokyo sounds like you are both having a tough time.

banana YAY for the EWCM!! Grin

Cep hoping all going ok for you?

lili glad doc was supportive, exactly what you need Smile

Hadrian, Collie know just what you mean about pregnant people surrounding you - I think really I just notice it more bcs I'm so desperate to have my own SadEnvy

mouse any word on the bloods? do hope all is ok for you, I've been thinking of you xx

Ninu shame about the weather, we've had some sun today oop north. I second you re the m/c stats, you are more likely to m/c with first, and guess it's just bcs most people here (not me!) Blush to be outted do have DC.

Thanks for asking collie Cep, we've actually just got home. DH had arranged for us to go to a nice hotel last night after the service and have dinner and then we went on a long walk in the country today.

The service was short and sweet there were 3 other couples there, and very sadly indeed, one chap all alone. I really felt for them all but particularly for him Sad. I hoped his wife/partner was ok.

The priest was lovely and mentioned all our babies during her prayers. DH admitted that going had really helped him feel like we've said goodbye properly. I feel like I've not abandoned my baby, which I had been feeling like. Sad Thanks again ladies for your support xx

to everyone else

meliesmummy · 26/02/2011 17:50

blackout I'm glad that the service went well and provided you with some relief x

LILI I meant to say thanks for what you said before about saving the best till last, that's a nice way of thinking.

cep · 26/02/2011 18:45

banana yay for ewcm, now get off here and get bizzzay. Wink

mel he actually wasn't as bad as i thought he was going to be, but thankfully it wasn't too busy in there, we had a couple of i need a weewee. (dh took him but apparently he didn't do anything, within 5 mins of coming back in ds was pulling trousers and pants down....yes right infront of my seat, quick pull up of clothes and mad dash to loo.) only thing we didn't take enough money so didn't get enough sweets to keep him still.

blackkat oh so pleased it went well. that poor man being on his own. How nice for the dh to arrange for a hotel what a lovely gesture. I'm glad it's made you feel a bit better.

I'm ok, thankfully af didn't start (or at least not yet) so doing ok so far. Grin

laylasmummy09 · 26/02/2011 18:59

hi every one, this thread really does move fast doesn't it,
welcome iggly I'm sorry you have found yourself here but i hope we can help,
blackkat im glad the service helped you and oh, i didnt go when i was offered the oppertunity and i do feel like our babies have been abandoned,
cep i hope things are going okay today for you
melie i know what you mean about the 2nd pregnancy thing, ive lost my 2nd and 3rd but i just assumed id be fine as id had 1 dc, i do agree though that most mumsnetters probably have a dc wich prompted them to join in the first place,
hello everyone else, i hope youve all had a fairly peaceful saturday x

Ninunina · 26/02/2011 19:07

blackkat glad the servie provided you with some peace, and will help you move on. How long ago was it that you mc?

cep 1st hurdle day is almost over. Are you feeling any symptoms yet? What movie did you watch?

tokyo hope your dd is feeling better. I used to suffer with my tonsils as a teen. Probably the sickest I've ever been. Hopefully she'll recover quickly.

mellie Envy at your nice sunny day. At least it stopped raining here so managed to go out for a soggy walk.

hadrian I'm sure time will help you be around your friend, and feel happiness for her.

bannana yay for EWCM!

I've only just started taking note of mine...and I think its watery, so hopefully will have EW tomorrow. Also did an ovulation test for the first time where the test line was more faint then the control line. Am I right in thinking that that is a negative? Its an internet cheapy so intructions aren't the clearest.

Thanks for the link cep, I went to the supermarket and bought some baby asprin, brazil nuts, grapefruit juice & pineapple juice. I remember reading something about pommegranite juice..what's that for again? I bought it anyway Grin

Feeling rather OTT now!!!

mousebacon · 26/02/2011 19:07

So pleased it went ok blackkat how very sad for that man to be on his own Sad it sounds like your dh was a sweetheart Smile

As for me, I'm back at the hospital on Thursday for another fanjo cam because my hcg levels came back at 286. Grr. Just want it to be sorted now so we can move on and try again (although the mood dh is in I might kill him tonight!)

cep · 26/02/2011 21:14

evening all, just a quick visit as i really need to sleep.

layla not to bad thankyou. Smile

ninu just really tired in the evenings and getting hot flushes. i drank all the juices up till ovulated, then ate the brazil nuts. Can't actually remember what the pom juice was for i'll see if i can find it again and relink.

mouse good luck for thursday hon, hope it gives you the answer you need.

Hi ladies sorry for the me post but its just a quick question i had 2 tiny spots of blood in my mucus today and EWCM what does that mean im confused? lol

cep · 26/02/2011 21:36

oli read this sweetie

Blackkat · 26/02/2011 21:38

Olis sorry can't be much help, but my WTF cycle sounds similar. I'm trying not to stress about it and just wait for sth that looks like a normal period.

mouse FFS -bloody hormones, poor you. Really hope date with fanjocam brings some good news. Will be thinking of you next week, Weds and Thurs right? X

ninu I m/c mid Jan, but had to have emergency ERPC at end of Jan. hosp do one joint service at end of each month and I just missed the Jan one, hence Feb date - feels like it's being going on forever, and still no sodding AF!
Thanks for yummy brownies.

cep hoping all still ok

Ninunina · 26/02/2011 22:17

The fountain of knowlege strikes again. Cep where do you find all these web pages? You seem to have a page that answers everyone's questions.

Oli that sounds promising...better get down to DTD tonight Grin

Blackkat well done for getting through this month. I'm sure it hasn't been easy for you and DH. I hope AF will be back soon (just this once).

cep · 27/02/2011 08:11

ninu that comes from spending all day on the computer and googling everything. i even googled itchy eyes and pregnancy before i got my bfp cause my eyes were so itchy the day before. Grin

i'm not too bad blackkat had a silly panic last night cause i went to loo and got a streak of blood on 2 wipes, so ofcourse that was it i was thinking it was a chemical pg. Blush nothing on st or wipe this morning. so am back to just being paranoid about every "wet" (sorry tmi) feeling down there.

Hope everyone is ok today.

cep ahh bless - I feel nervous for you! but I'm sending all my positive thoughts your way and this is going to be the one that goes well Smile

blackkat Glad the service went well and you got to say goodbye

I went and bought some ov sticks from Wilkos yesterday. £2.80 for 5 is that good? Anyway took a test yesterday and it was negative so do I keep taking them each day?

According to MN ov predicter on my first cycle bleed I should have been ov around 24th to 28th feb or if I go back by 2nd bleed I'll be ov around 7 March to 11 March.

Just to be on the safe side I've been swi everyday since Thursday! Blush

How's everyone else doing?

cep · 27/02/2011 13:32

lili it tends to be recommended to test opk every day in the afternoon, cause the surge isn't supposed to show until then. i never knew when to expect mine so pretty much tested every day from 2 days after af stopped. (and still never got a positive). yay for the energy Grin you can get a load of cheapy ones on ebay.

such as these

AandRMum · 27/02/2011 13:37

CEP that sounds like implantation bleeding. Wanted to say once again just how pleased I am for you and your BFP!!!
