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.

Hello magpie watchers,

I hope everyone is well, I have been thinking of you. I have been away, so am trying to catch up on the last 2 weeks of messages. I miscarried on holiday which obviously made bikini wearing out of the question, and had to spend an inordinate amount of time running to the bathroom. Luckily no lone magpies jumping into my path. So, have now been bleeding for 2 weeks, had one day when it all seemed to happen so am pretty sure it is complete... just pretty light bleeding now. No idea what to expect next.. when I'll get AF or can try again etc. I stupidly started smoking again on hols so will need to knock that on the head again if I want to start trying. Which on one hand I do, so much but on the other hand am too scared and would rather smoke and drink ALOT of wine. I also cut all my hair off. I am glad I am having such a mature reaction! Luckily I don't live near a tattooist. Grin.

really I was reading your post with a Sad face but have finished it with a Grin I started smoking again the day I found out about the MC and did smoke heavily (and drink) for a good few weeks then stopped. Then started....then stopped...then started, I am crap Sad Am prob having about 10 a week at the moment which is a great improvement for me but considering I have stopped caffeine, cut down the wine, taking supplements etc etc you'd have thought I could cut out the cigs completely! I am kinda feeling like it is my only sneaky vice at the moment though and those few I have with a glass of wine just about keep me sane Wink I am very good at stopping completely when pg though, I find it much easier to consider the life inside me than my own Blush

melies your cycle is sounding so similar to mine last month, I hope it ends a bit more successfully for you though.

collie How has today gone? Did your nan get a good send off? Don't get me wrong I hate hate hate funerals but one good thing I find about them is the opportunity to see friends and family you rarely see and having a good catch up, I find it therapeutic. Hope you are ok.

mel we've taken them out now, will see tonight if makes any difference. i'm exhausted in everyway i can think of. It's up to you, i can't imagine them doing 70 posts tonight though.

really if you haven't already seen them have a read of the links below. Do you like your shorter hair??

I'll start the new thread then, it means I don't have to worry about it tomorrow when I'm tired, plus I've got a few mins whilst dd is occupied in the garden with dh, just give me time to get the laptop on!

Youremindmeofthebabe · 25/03/2011 16:49

Go for it meliesSmile

Reallyusefulengine · 25/03/2011 16:51

Chloe Nice to know I'm not alone in my reaction. I think I'll try to stop again erm, maybe next weekend..? Not sure, or do what you're doing and just have a few.

Cep Hello! How are you doing? Thank you for the links, am about to read through them. I do actually like my hair, it has grown on me (ha ha) over the last week. And oh good god, it takes half the time to wash etc. Am just thinking I shouldn't have chopped 8 inches off without thinking about it first - a total impulse, on the high street, next thing I was sitting in the chair shouting 'cut it off!'.

Mumtum, i did enjoy it, thank you. In a daze for a lot of it but great not to have to cook and clean. DH was great and let me rest loads.

Cep, thank you so much for sending me that link - it's brilliant. Absolutely answered all my questions.

Is it too early to add me to the stats list? Do I have to wait for my 1st cycle? Am being very dim, apologies in advance xxx
