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!!!

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

WTTC = waiting to TTC
UCL = usual cycle length
WFT cycle = what the f*uck cycle (cycle after mc but before first AF)
For more accronyms see here

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

This is the previous thread

Stats to follow.

Hi jkk, welcome. Pull up a cushion and get comfy x

Chloe yes she knows about the mc, around the time she was great but I think I'm expected to be 'over it', she also knows we're trying again so maybe she just thinks I am. It's 4 weeks today since I found out I was mc, it's gone by so quickly. I should be 15 weeks now :(

laylasmummy09 · 11/03/2011 15:15

wow melies thats harsh it knocks u back when something like that happens as you think you are doing ok and then you get kicked back down to earth, my sil is 24 wks pg and its hard to look at her even worse now they moved gouse to the next street, but it was pretty bad monday as my sil rang to say she'd got a bfp and it was my babys due date Sad shes been ttc for 2 yrs so its good news but it would have been nice if she'd waited 1 more day, on the up side af is here so i finally know where i am Smile
welcome jkk xxx

shorty100 · 11/03/2011 15:49

Hello everyone, i'm still here thanks collie. I have got a water infection at the moment so more antibiotics. It never stops. Still no af though last did a test on wed, i'm pulling my hair out a bit now. X

Chloe55 · 11/03/2011 15:51

Well it's been nearly 7 months for me and I'm still not 'over it' doesn't help that my friend who must be about 18 weeks now is coming round tomorrow, no doubt wearing something to show off her little bump Sad I hate being Envy of friends it makes me feel a bit like a spoilt brat.

skitoo · 11/03/2011 16:10

Afternoon Ladies - hope everyone is looking forward to the weekend Smile

Welcome Jkk, sorry for your loss, I'm a fellow newbie just settling in.

Melies I have exactly the same problem...fine with babies but really struggling with ladies with big PG bellies. There is a woman at work who told me she was pg (quite far along) the morning after I got my first BFP, so at the time I thought I'd be catching up with her soon, so is now a constant reminder that I'm not Sad. Sorry it's upsetting you too Layla

Harrassed have you been and bought a test yet?

Chloe I've read your other thread, sorry you're not getting much help from the hospital. My clomid experience has been random but not actually had any mid cycle spotting although I have heard it can be a symptom. I know you've struggled to get through to them but think you really need to push your consultant. Sorry I can't remember but have they confirmed that the dose they have given you is working, do they know you ovulate on it?

Hi Shorty think we're in the same boat, desperately waiting for AF to arrive - never wanted it to arrive so much before!

meliesmummy · 11/03/2011 16:24

chloe you aren't a spoilt brat, none of us are, we just really want something and it's really hard when you see other people that have it.

laylas that sounds like it'll be hard for you, I hope you manage to get through it without too many 'moments' like mine today.

Hope your anti b's kick in soon so you feel better shorty

I just did an opk, I'm only day 7 so it was negative (not even a trace of a line) but I have no idea what's going on in there this month so figured I'd start early. It's tough going back to using them, I was hoping I was finished with all that when I got pg :(

shorty100 · 11/03/2011 16:48

Its horrible isn't it skitoo, have you been waiting long. I'm hoping the reason it hasn't come is i'm preg but the longer i'm waiting the less I think this is the case. X

skitoo · 11/03/2011 17:09

Shorty 9 veeeerrrry long weeks, its really stopping me from moving on Sad. How about you? I really hoped I was PG too, most unlikely, not for want of trying Wink but have had a couple of BFN's.

shorty100 · 11/03/2011 17:17

Oh bless you, its really hard to have any closure on what has happened isn't it. This is the one thing my dh doesn't understand he has come to terms with it but doesn't understand that it is still on my mind everyday. Have you spoken to the doctor? Did they give you any advice? I have had a few bfn too. X

Skitoo, i'm on week 7 now. Sorry you find yourself here vegas. I had been trying for 9 months when had mc in jan and I thought I wasn't in a rush but seemed more in a rush with every month that passed. X

shorty100 · 11/03/2011 17:32

Skitoo, i'm on week 7 now. Sorry you find yourself here vegas. I had been trying for 9 months when had mc in jan and I thought I wasn't in a rush but seemed more in a rush with every month that passed. X

skitoo · 11/03/2011 17:35

Yes, in a strange way in my head I'm still in the mc stage and can't move on until af arrives and I can start clomid and ttc again. My DH is trying to understand, probably because I sound like a broken record! Been back to FC, they gave me provera to start af but it hasn't worked, will be back in touch with them next week if still nothing.

Sorry you're the same Vegas, time feels like it's standing still doesn't it.

I think it really does vary but I was told 6 weeks on average.

Collie2 · 11/03/2011 18:58

Welcome jkklpu sorry for your loss. It's so very raw for you so I hope you're doing ok and being very kind to yourself.

Chloe sorry I can't help with your clomid questions. Sounds like you eventually got though at the hospital though. Thought the first reply to your thread was a little scare mongering!! Glad it's nothing to worry about but Sad it could be AF gearing up. If you don't mind though I'm still gonna keep my fx for you x

melie ff isn't as complicated ad it looks once you get used to it, although I am still undecided as to wether doing it every morning at 6am even on a weekend is worth it as it's not helpped me much so far and opks seem to work for me. But I suppose it will help in the long term if I don't get a bfp. I agree it would be difficult on nights.

Sorry about your pg friends friend. I think I am the same - better around babies than pg women, although sooo broody now, can't walk past baby clothes without yelping ' I want one'

melies and chloe snap on the spot front. I have a blooming mountain on my chin! Sad

harassed I agree with chloe test tomorrow as long as a bfn won't upset you too much, but then on the bright side you can drown your sorrows with Wine Smile don't forget to update us tomorrow.

Hi shorty glad you are still here. Sorry your unwell and still waiting for AF. Really hope it's bcs you are pg!

skitoo I can't believe you've been waiting 9 weeks for your AF. So sorry. I understand how hard it must be to move on, it took minwme 5 1/2 weeks and it felt like an age!

vagas as I said, my AF took 5 1/2 weeks

Been out all day with DH doing sone retail therapy Grin and he's taking me out for posh meal tonight so won't be about. Didn't have the Wine last night do will treat myself tonight! Grin
Right, better go and get my glad-rags on Grin

Vegas some of the other ladies on here might be more knowledgable than me but I was told 6 weeks from mc and have also read that you need 20 clear days from stopping bleeding before you will get af. I think someone on this thread kindly posted some useful links on the subject - will see if I can find them again.

Collie2 · 11/03/2011 19:26

just popping back quicky to check on cep been v quiet today, hope you're ok and morning sickness not too bad.

Hi to blackkat too.

vagas 4-6 weeks from first day of mc bleeding.

I'm on phone so could someone do today's stats?

OP posts:
meliesmummy · 11/03/2011 19:38

Have a lovely evening collie, it sounds wonderful!

Vegas I am having af 3 weeks since the medical management - I believe that I'm very unusual though!

everything ok Cep?
