If you are TTC after Miscarriage (or waiting to start trying again), this is the place to be. This thread is full of lots of lovely ladies on the post MC rollercoster and is full of support and advice from people who have been through it, and know what you are going through.
Jump on board and join in the for some laughter, crying or even the odd ranting (whatever you need). There?s lots of Wine, Brew (caffeine free of course Smile ) and chocolate, and more importantly, friendly ?ears?.

The thread moves fast so bob in and out as you please. Don?t be afraid to ask anything ? nothing is ever TMI!!!

Good luck to all ? The last one was a lucky thread for lots of people so here's hoping for lots more healthy, sticky BFPs by the end of the thread Grin

cep it had some under skirts built in but the advisor said to buy a plain hoop to wear under it as that would stop it sticking to my legs but im unsure !

MumTumWanted · 09/03/2011 12:35

chloe im a natural g cup so think im being idealistic really ! if they were that size fake and could hold their own i would love it but sadly after DD1 they never did regain their fullness without help of some serious scaffolding Grin

Chloe55 · 09/03/2011 12:40

Grin I know what you mean mumtum

LILI80 · 09/03/2011 12:43

ninu Congratulations!! So pleased for you Grin

mumtum sorry about BFN. I had my honeymoon in Mexico at the Moon Palace, absolutely loved it!

olis Really sorry about your BFN too.

cep You look lovely in your pic. It's actually really nice to put a face to the name! Smile

Me- Well the tests arrived this morning and I got a BFN Sad. Has anyone on here tested 4 days early, got a BFN and then went on to get a BFP?

I just feel v strange. Keep feeling queasy and tired, in my head I keep thinking I am pg.

meliesmummy · 09/03/2011 13:09

LILI my af last time was due on the fri, test on mon (fr) was bfn, test on thurs (also fr) was positive! So there's still plenty of hope, 4 days early is really early.

mumtum both of those dresses were lovely but cant comment on the heat issue...I got married on the Gower! I can recommend a company called rainbow club (www.rainbowclub.co.uk/) for shoes tho - I had some lovely sandals from them, really comfy, almost like posh flip flops, and bravissimo for scaffolding underwear, they do big cup sizes as I used to need before bf knocked the stuffing out of them!

chloe it's not over till af sings!

cep · 09/03/2011 13:19

lili thankyou, have put on laods of weight since then though.Sad yes me. i tested at 10dpo and 11dpo -ve then at 13dpo +ve.

mumtum a plain hoop? which would attach/tie round your waist i assume, to me that would be added weight. I can't remember the dress sticking to my legs too badly. certainly not all the time. Might be worth trying dresses on, on a really hot day over here, ask if they can turn of aircon. Don't forget as well you need to take all of this over with you.

LILI80 · 09/03/2011 13:22

Thanks Ladies - think I might test tomorrow morning when it's at it's strongest just to see

cep · 09/03/2011 13:32

yay they've done it. they were really quick about it, i found an e-mail (about an hour after they sent it Blush i don't go on very often) and now it's gone. Thankyou mnhq

lili wait till dpo 13 at earliest i'd say. (hypocrisy i know.)

MumTumWanted · 09/03/2011 13:40

wow that was quick from MNHQ glad they got it removed for you cep the plain hoop would litlerally be another ties round the waist thin petticoat so i agree maybe not the best, Ive just booked an appointment at the bridal shop in lakeside for 19th March so fingers crossed i will find something in their ( and there is a shop nearby which sells bravisimo thanks melliesmum id forgotton about them so i will try there to ehilst im there!

How cruel is life just went and spulrged on the clear blue about what 2 hours ago? got the BFN and just been to loo again and very very light spotting on wiping. Typical Sad guess thats me off the Nov bus then ..... so come on all you other lovely ladies i need more good news of BFPs to cheer me up .... ( but lili cep is right wait until at least 13 dpo....)

Chloe55 · 09/03/2011 13:54

Plucked up the courage to watch OBEM. Hope I can get my fish eyes and bltchy face to go down by school run time, both Sad and Smile at the same time.

mumtum, sorry the bitch arrived Angry That's why I have been testing so much, just to spite it by not letting it show up just after as that is normally the case with me!

cep · 09/03/2011 13:55

mumtum just remember that either can effect the other, so if you get a bra/corset which is high can show above the line of a low cut dress. or if you get a strapless dress you'll need strapless bra/corset. also it's a really thin material patterns or slightly off colours may show. (sorry if that sounds patronising.) nothing is ever straight forward. Grin sorry you're now getting spotting. is typical. Sad good news is that my cb digi showed 3+ today though.

cep · 09/03/2011 13:56

chloe oh hon, which one did you watch??

Chloe55 · 09/03/2011 14:17

This weeks, just wanted to see a success story. They seemed like such a lovely couple too, and the other lady had PCOS so was good to see a positive from both ladies, would have been even better if there was an endometriosis/PCOS/multiple mcs lady on there having a baby Wink

Chloe55 · 09/03/2011 14:19

Ok, I also need a good slapping. Have googled the liklihood of having prolonged spotting - one of the conclusions (amongst a million others which aren't pregnancy Hmm) are possibility of twins and my chances are higher than the average by being on Clomid so who knows?? Ok, ok, ok

Collie2 · 09/03/2011 14:22

cep you look b-e-a-utiful in that picture! Radiant! I love weddings! Feel like digging my frock out and going the hoovering in it, but it will oy depress me when I can't zip it up!

mumtum sorry about the bfn and blood. Is it def AF? Love love love the dress. Not sure about the heat though, I got married here butit looks quite light weight. Very classy!

LILI sorry about your bfn but I agree 13 dpo is still early. I think test again tomorrow or indeed the next day if you can wait. How many did you get? Oh lord, the money we waste spend on pee sticks !!!

cep · 09/03/2011 14:23

chloe omg did you have to add the bending over bit at the end??? Shock it was nice watching them wasn't it, for the dh to say he'd cry in private cause he wanted to be strong for her. and the other poor woman not being able to have her drugs till late. i am still keeping fx for you.

There seem to be loads of ladies coming up to their testing days. am keeping fx for all of you.

cep · 09/03/2011 14:25

collie thankyou, zip it??? i wouldn't even be able to get it over my head now, Sad if i manage to lose my weight i would love to get back in my dress again.
How are you doing today?

Collie2 · 09/03/2011 14:26

You know you loved it cep Wink

I know, reminded me of my husband, I caught him on a couple of occassions wiping away a tear when I walked into a room unexpected. He hardly ever cried in front of me but his best mate has said that he has cried on him Sad I hate to think he thinks I was too fragile to fall to pieces on me and I hate to say that he was probably right.

MumTumWanted · 09/03/2011 14:33

oh dear we really do appear to have pee stick euphoria we are all at !!!! collie not defo AF blood infact just went to loo again( TMI) and got noothing when i wiped this time Confused Confused Confused Confused

chloe twins OMG !!!! i actually fear that as much as i want another DC im not sure how i would cope with twins.... Damn that google.... what is they say knowledge is power .... not sure it is in some cases ( ie most of ours Grin )

just added my temps on ff and still shpowing as 55 points so hasnt change dit which surprised me, also they say i should wait til dpo 18 before testing... i guess if af appears before then i will know, if not i will sit on hands put test in loft out of reach admit to oh i have another test and give to him anything so i cant get at it not going to test again til friday ....

MumTumWanted · 09/03/2011 14:33

excuse typos on that one Blush fast typing before leaving work for the school run !

Collie2 · 09/03/2011 14:40

cep I'm ok. A bit annoyed and Blush at getting so wound up about things yesterday, when I really have no real reason at this point to be worrying. So for today I've locked those worries in a box. No real post ov symptoms to be spotting. Had tender boobs a couple of days ago and had wave of nausea yesterday morning in car, which Blush I put into ff even through I know it's totally unrelated and was more to do with being too hot!! Smile

I'm working from home today, which is nice as DH still on US hrs so home too. Work is really grim at the moment due to massive nhs restructure so I'm glad to be out of the office. It's a worrying and stressful time so its not much of a refuge from my ttc obsessions.

I sound depressing don't I, sorry. I am really not! Honest!!

cep Sad and Smile about your sickness. Sad you're feeling crap but yay for the symptoms. I think post mc they are v reassuring! X

meliesmummy · 09/03/2011 14:43

Ooohhh, all this chat makes me want to throw open the wardrobe and put my wedding dress on!!!! Altho I can't do it up by myself and I doubt dd would be much help, plus I'd probably cry..,

Chloe TWINS!!!!! that is at least 2 haddocks I think!

cep · 09/03/2011 14:46

mumtum it says to wait 18 days because it's the first cycle you've done with them.

collie glad you're a lot calmer today. Don't be annoyed and embarrassed it's perfectly normal to get wound up about these things. is your job safe or are they just moving people round?
i seem to be getting it allday today. keep coughing and then wanting to vomit. Sad i've got a wedding reception to go to on friday eve, am hoping i feel this bad due to lack of sleep.

meliesmummy · 09/03/2011 14:47

I forgot to say it's great that you've been sick cep (what a weird thing to write, you'd never say that in normal conversation would you?!)

Collie glad you're feeling better today, is your job safe?
