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

Aww thanks cep i doesn't really feel real though. The number of times I've told people on her, a line is a line, but i still can't believe it. Think I need to see a stronger line tomorrow to be convinced! Smile so please don't move me yet, I'm not quiet ready Smile

Sorry about your ds. It sounds like others have experienced similar things which is reassuring but I can imagine how helpless you feel, not wanting go get him in a bad routine.

banana < for you I'm afraid! Wait a couple more days I'm 13 dpo and its a v faint line Smile Theres nothing worse than seeing a bfn x

mels I hope you manage to enjoy your weekend.

ninu where are you going?

Ok, got to try and get some work done.... Not that I can concentrate!!! Grin

Grin harassed, I hope so!!! Fx for you! How many dpo are you? I still had a -ive at 14dpo in my first pg.

Cep, glad to see bleeding is clear this morning.

How old is your ds? My dd is 4.5 and has to sleep with her lamp on low otherwise she freaks out. I have in the past got into bed with her, and asked her to show me what she's scared of and then we've talked it through. It meant a sleepless night (so best on a weekend!!) but it helped a bit, did take a while though. I also removed a lot of her teddies! It's taken time, but she's now a brilliant sleeper.

cep · 17/03/2011 09:29

collie when was your lmp start date?

harassedinherpants · 17/03/2011 09:30

I'm not sure how many dpo I am, I didn't really pay attention tbh........ wish I had now! I was trying to do the relaxed thing, until last night really lol. My problem is a lot of my pmt symptoms are also preg symptoms, so no indication at all.

Af showed up exactly 28days after erpc, so hoping that would give me some indication!

cep · 17/03/2011 09:32

he's 2.5, he has a lamp on which he never used to. we had this thing last week when he first said he was scared, i asked him what he was scared of, he pointed to the gap between the dresser and wall. about 2-3 inches cause by lip of dresser and skirting board. there was nothing but the shadow from the curtains cast by the light. i've taken loads of his teddies out, cause he kept pointing at different things, problem is he's got it into his head now he gets a reaction when he says he's scared, so i think part of it is him playing up to it now.

Collie2 · 17/03/2011 09:36

cep What's imp start date?

Meant to also say glad there's no blood today. Sorry, bit self indulged this morning! X

harassedinherpants · 17/03/2011 09:40

Collie last menstrual period Grin to work out edd!

Cep aw bless him, yes I had to resort to a few strong words and a bit of ignoring in the end Sad. I'd go up a certain number of times, but warn her this is the last time, so tell me now if you want me to check anything.

That did work, eventually!

Collie2 · 17/03/2011 09:49

Oh right lol!! Don't know where I got the i from?!!

Last date b4 my period started (is that what you mean.... I got this all wrong at the gp last time Blush ) was feb 7th. BUT this caused me no end on anxiety in my last pg as my cycle is way longer that the average 28 days, so it put me at least a week ahead of what I'd actually expect to be.

OP posts:
Collie2 · 17/03/2011 09:50

Omg I can't believe we're having this conversation! It's not real yet!!!!

OP posts:
harassedinherpants · 17/03/2011 09:52

No, the date they use to work out edd is your last cd1. So first day of last af.

I can imagine a longer cycle length will confuse them, they're only meant to be 28 days for edd purposes you know lol! They revise them after first growth scan Grin.

Collie2 · 17/03/2011 09:53

banana also meant to say you should ring you PALS (Patient Advice and Liaison) Office. I sit next to the manager of the service where I work and your situation is the type of thing her team deal with daily ? people wanting a service and not knowing where to go hoe how to get it, or people who are not happy with a services they?ve received but don?t know where to go next. They can advise you on your options and they are there to do the ?leg? work in terms of finding out. if you are not happy with the advice you have had, they manager here often liaise with GPs and practitioners to get better feedback and to mediate between patients and health professionals to get a better outcome. It may be you don?t get any answers, but by the end of it you should be happier with what you are being told at least, and not feeling like you are being fobbed off! this is the website to the national service. I am sure they can link you to your local one, or ring your local PCT and they?ll put you though xx

Lol @ Collie! So very pleased for you Grin.

cep · 17/03/2011 10:13

imp bless. ok i've worked out what your due date would be but don't want to start tempting fate until stronger line. (not that i doubt it'll be stronger but you know what i mean.)

Grin so so chuffed. (you'll be on my bus by the way. i you want to join that is.)

Dh is making me go through all my tapes (huge box of them) recorded from years ago off the radio in the 90's while i was at school. omg i'm only on tape 1 song 4 and already i want to keep 3 of the songs. Grin

Collie2 · 17/03/2011 10:26

I can't concentrate! Still haven't got any work done!! Grin

Grin @ cep old tapes! I don't have a cassette player anymore!

Just doing another post as my last was no 666 and it freaked me out [crazy lady emoticon]

OP posts:
cep · 17/03/2011 10:35

i know, they're really bad, staticy volume all over the place. i haven't dh, has as part of his stereo stuff, but had to fix them as it had been so long since he'd played anything they'd broken.

i bet you can't. Have you checked your edd yet??? Grin it was one of the first things i did.

Collie2 · 17/03/2011 10:38

No, I'm too scared! Grin ff days nov 25th but I assume this is based on ov date and not lmp. ???

OP posts:
Collie2 · 17/03/2011 10:39

harassedinherpants · 17/03/2011 10:45

cep · 17/03/2011 10:51
