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

Hi Ladies

Just wanted to say congrats collie a line is a line so pleased for you. You too banana

Well my AF arrived today and I've been thinking.....

this is my goodbye ladies I just want to say thank you so much for getting me through those tough few months you really were all there for me but I realised today that my DD will be starting school next year and as much as I want to give her a brother or sister I can't keep getting obsessed over getting pregnant and then realise I've missed those precious times with my daughter.

Also, I'm not sure how I'll cope sitting here watching everyone get BFPs and I don't. I know it's early days but I'm getting so obsessed by it all that I'm thinking about getting pregnant constantly and I don't think it's fair on my DD.

I wish you all the very best of luck and I'll miss you all xxx

p.s I'll leave it with you to remove my name from the list.

hadrian · 17/03/2011 23:18

Wow what a day! Just a quick note to say a massive congratulations to collie and banana! Do you know I had a feeling it was your month collie...I love being right! Grin

Lots of love and all the best to you lili.

I'm 10 DPO but not really feeling any symptoms and I had a bit of spotting this morning so think AF is on her way. Am determined not to POAS, can't face a BFN this month Sad

meliesmummy · 18/03/2011 07:37

All the best olis and LILI. hope you get your bfps soon x

Have a great weekend ninu

Everything ok Chloe, how was your first day?

How are you today collie and Cep?

Hi to everyone else!

cep · 18/03/2011 07:48

morning all,

lili good luck, fx you get bfp soon (and you oli)

chloe how did it go yesterday?

hadrian fx af doesn't arrive.

collie have you tested again yet?

mel how are you?

Well i had more blood this morning, still got a positive on the pg tst (not that i expected not to) but epu insisted i take one so i have.) i'm getting more worried about monday, i want to ask for another scan for reassurance in a couple of weeks but i bet they won't.

meliesmummy · 18/03/2011 08:13

I'm fine thank you Cep. :( you are having more blood, was it a lot?

Collie2 · 18/03/2011 08:51

Good luck lili I hope you manage to be more relaxed about it and get your bfp! X you too oils

Smile @ hadrian, thanks. I'm hoping it sticks. AF due sun so just want to get through the weekend. I had a feeling it was mummya and velvets turn when they jump threads too Smile bit then again I also had a reay good feeling about chloe this time and was so sad I was wrong. Fx for you though, it's still early days x

cep sorry you've had moreblood again today. It's horrid that it's so stressful and worrying for you. Fingers are tightly crossed for Monday for you -what time is your apt?

Hi melies how are you? How's your EWCM?

chloe how was your day vet nursing day?

Ok, poa-cheapie-s again this am. Slightly stronger, but still very much a shadow. Was trying to save my first response, but caved and used that too. Got a line the same as yesterday so not stronger Sad but not fainter Smile Put +ive in ff today though [freak out emoticon]

Bloody hell I missed loads yesterday!!

Congrats collie and banana. Grin

LILI I know exactly what you mean about struggling with the BFPs. Although I am very happy for those ladies who keep getting them it does remind me that I still don't and I am one of the longest posters on this thread now since the others moved on. I am beginning to understand why they did Sad All you ladies are lovely and very helpful but it is a struggle to be on cycle 7.

Cep Have you had anymore bleeding today? I know you hear it all the time but I bled daily with ds and my cousin bled a lot with her beautiful dd.

Yesterday went well but I was out of the house from 7.20am-8pm which is a long day I am not used to! And, most of that was on my feet too so I was absolutely knackered. Have to go and clean mum's too shortly and just can not be arsed! Was a good day, made me realise I missed parts but also made me realise there was some parts I didn't miss at all. Think I will stick to locuming now and just pick and choose when I work.

Also, took my last Clomid pill yesterday (forever I hope!) and started getting loads of ovulation stabbing pains last night so think I prob overdid it a bit yesterday.

cep · 18/03/2011 09:17

mel it wasn't loads but it was a more red colour than i had been having, not watery, not a clot or anything like that and still not period red.

collie i found first response useless have you done the cb digi with date one? tomorrow fmu should be strong enough for it. The scans at 9:10 i'm trying to stay calm but i am really nervous. if i wasn't pg i'd be downing the Wine Grin i keep thinking it's over, but then worrying that i'll convince my body and then lose it anyway.

banana what aboutyou hon are you managing to wait till tomorrow or have you tested today?

remember i was talking about my tapes yesterday, i found dip dabs in tesco's had to buy one, i used to love them as a child. It's like i'm going back to my childhood.

meliesmummy · 18/03/2011 09:22

Okay ladies, weird question - I'm new to the whole cervix examining thing, what does it mean if it's so high I can't 'reach' it? Does it mean I've already ovulated? (yesterday I could reach easily). I know it's a pg sign but as I'm only day 14 that's impossible.

Cep I'm loving the nostalgia, last week I actually bought beef monster munch because they were on offer! Blush Grin

cep · 18/03/2011 09:25

chloe glad it went well yesterday although it really does sound like a knackering day. You will get there again hon. i have all my fx for you. If you feel like you need to move on then don't worry about us, Smile we honestly don't mind, will miss you though.

cep · 18/03/2011 09:30

mel if i remember correctly it's a sign that you're fertile. after ov it "should" return to being low and hard. i didn't know you could get beef still i only ever see the pickled onion or fiery ones. (i'm dipdabbing while i type. Grin)

meliesmummy · 18/03/2011 09:43

Cep that may be a pg thing - I found that sherbet lemons helped with my morning sickness. There's no excuse for my monster munch craving though!

So I haven't ovulated yet?! My opk was really faint yesterday. I thought I probably had on weds. We dtd last night though so I hope some little swimmers survived!

cep · 18/03/2011 09:52

mel what's my excuse for the iced and chelsea buns i bought today as well?? Grin i don't know how soon after ov it returns to low, you may have done but i'd dtd while high and definately if you have fertile cm.

omg one of my favourite songs has come on, "runaway train never going back, wrong way on a one way track"

Chloe55 · 18/03/2011 09:56

"seems like I should be getting somewhere, somehow I'm neither here or there, dah de dah dah dah de dah...."

Izzy is updiffed too!! You wait ages then 3 come along at once!

cep · 18/03/2011 09:59

collie i didn't know if you'd want me to move you yet. let me know.
banana same for you let me know when you've confirmed with re-test

yay for izzy if you're lurking congratulations.

it's like i'm sat back in my dorm at school. (only i didn't have a laptop then. Grin Are you alright chloe ?

Chloe55 · 18/03/2011 10:07

I was just singing along to your song cep Blush As it happens though I have had a little cry today reading all the pg announcements and thinking why isn't it me? I was so sure last cycle, I had all the signs and was actually Shock at the BFN and so Angry at another god awful AF Sad I am sorry to all the BFPs at my attitude, I know I am being selfish and childish I just want it to be my turn Sad

CD7 for me though and I plan on having a ridiculous amount of swi this month. Starting tonight...

cep · 18/03/2011 10:16

i know it's such a nice song. now madonna - take a bow - 1994 that came out.

I thought you sounded a bit down. Please don't worry about sounding selfish and childish, don't add guilt to what you're already feeling. It's normal to want it to be you, don't try to pretend otherwise. The bfp's know you're happy for them, it's just a complicated time. I know it doesn't help but i think we were all Shock at the bfn. You will get there hon.

I'm sorry if that all sounded patronising, i just never know what to say to "cheer" people up.

Does radio 1 still do the top 40? omg baby come back.... although i recorded over it....with crap Hmm

Chloe55 · 18/03/2011 10:42

Thanks cep It actually does help that other's thought I might get a BFPlast cycle - makes me feel a little less like I am going insane. I haven't renewed my FF and I don't like the non-vip rubbishy graph so think I am gonna scrap it this month as it just teased me last month.

Yes, I think Reggie does it on a sunday.

cep · 18/03/2011 10:53

no the non vip isn't too good, but it's so expensive to pay for, for what it is.

I never knew until i started ttc no 2 how difficult it could be. no1 was so quick, was really shocked when i didn't get pg as quickly this time and then only to lose it. it quickly becomes very stressful and a bit like planning a military operation.

harassedinherpants · 18/03/2011 11:15

Morning ladies,

So I tested again today......and have line. Ok two!! Was very Shock and then very Grin, and just quietly freaking out in the corner.

I know it's stupid but have booked a doctors appointment. I know he won't do anything, but I have a couple of questions from my mmc that I need answering to ease my mind slightly!!

Chloe55 · 18/03/2011 11:18

Great news harrassed Grin

harassedinherpants · 18/03/2011 11:20

Thanks Chloe, nearly paid for vip FF last night actually, glad I held off Grin.

Youremindmeofthebabe · 18/03/2011 11:27

Congratulations all new BFP'ers, banana harassed collieSmile

Hugs for Chloe.

cep · 18/03/2011 11:30

congratulations hihp great news.

What a couple of days
