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

shorty100 · 06/03/2011 11:05

Does anyone think I should be worried? I have been reading lots of things about first af after mc and getting myself a bit worried, everywhere has said that af might take a while to come as hormones my take 3 weeks to settle down, I did a pregnancy test the first day I started bleeding in a & e and it was negative, that would suggest my hpt levels were negative at that point but nearly 7 weeks later and no af, sorry for the crazy lady post just pulling my hair out with everything and just want my body to work :-(

cep · 06/03/2011 12:41

hello again.

mel i meant to say i hope you enjoyed your wine. Grin

layla i know it moves throughout the cycle but don't know if it moves more after mc. sorry to not be of any help.

hadrian go and get bizzzay over next few days.

chloe glad you enjoyed your evening. (and glad you had too much Grin ) fx for you. It will get expensive if you test with cb all the time.

shorty i think someone else it took 9 weeks for it to come back but i can't remember who that was. if you are worried about it, speak to the dr.

i miss Wine Sad hope everyone is ok. Grin

laylasmummy09 · 06/03/2011 12:48

thanx cep, ill be quite happy to take on your share of the Wine if that helps Grin

meliesmummy · 06/03/2011 13:00

Thanks cep wine was nice, only had 1 glass tho and still woke up with a headache! I guess I'm not back into the swing of things yet!

laylas here's some tmi - my cervix was really high yesterday, I'm bleeding now so could be af on the way? Or could you be pg? Have you tested?

shorty I know it xan take ages for everything to settle, but it might be worth chatting to your gp if you're worried.

Whoohoo hadrian time to get busy!

All I'm going to be getting busy with is the ironing, dh is painting the kitchen ceiling and dds in bed. I'm still bleeding, it's more mucousy now and lighter, I'm finding it strange that I've had no pain at all.

hadrian · 06/03/2011 13:02

Hi shorty I MC'd on Christmas Eve and got my first AF on 16th Feb which if my maths is right is about 8 weeks. I was tearing my hair out too but fx everything seems to be working again now. Don't despair!

shorty100 · 06/03/2011 13:10

Thanks, I mentioned it to my doctor when saw him for my chest infection friday, all I got was a 'i'm not sure I don't really know anything about that' so was really helpful. Think I will ring the epu tomorrow.

laylasmummy09 · 06/03/2011 13:55

thanx melies fx its af i havent been ttc as i wanted to wait til after the WTF cycle so if af is on its way at least i will know where i am, i am desperate to TTC ASAP and if i dont get af soon ill give up waiting and just DTD Smile

olismum23 · 06/03/2011 19:24

Hi all did not stay away long and I did lurk chloe not very good at this waiting I have took at test every morning BFN obviously so i bought tests I cant use till the day my AF is due, obviously I don't know this but 13th/14th of feb was when i stopped bleeding so I will wait till 13th.

I am formally asking all you ladies to help me stay strong and advoid my POAS addiction.

Hello my name is Olismum23 and I am addicted to poas.......

MumTumWanted · 06/03/2011 20:01

oh bless oils i feel i too should be saying

Hello my name is mumtumwanted and i to am addicted to POAS ( or as my OH refers PIAPAD - peeing in a pot and dipping)

all i can say is thank goodness for cheapy tests or i really would be bankrupt,

laylasmummy i am in the same position as you in the WTF and in the end i just gave up to , my MC was 29th Dec and i still not sure ive had a defo af had 4 days of bleeding but old blood.... though i think i may be due AF soon

Chloe55 · 06/03/2011 20:28

My name is Chloe55 and I too am a POASaholic. I fear AF may be rearing her ugly head early as am still having cramps and had more blood when wiping earlier, convinced it is AF Sad

brooke89 · 06/03/2011 20:31

Olismum23 and mumtumwanted i think im gonna have to join you on the POAS addiction...i bought 50 today Blush

hello everyone :) hope you've all had a good weekend

xx

Blackkat · 06/03/2011 20:31

Evening ladies, sorry for quick post - long wknd and need an early night [boring emoticon]

MumTum PMSL at PIAPAD!

Hadrian get busy!

chloe FX, does sound promising, hope ur head is better now!

olis, I think the mantra is take one day at a time.... not to POAS, we are ready to fish slap you!

Shorty good thing to ring EPU, ceps right about 9 weeks I think it was YRMOTB

mouse how are you love?

Blackkat · 06/03/2011 20:32

Xpost, Chloe hope not,

banana87 · 06/03/2011 20:35

layla I read on FF last night that high means you are fertile. No idea if thats much help to you or not.

Chloe did you test??

I am WTF now. Still EWCM, although its (tmi) more jelly like than egg white, although still stretchy. Boobs are just started their tenderness now though. I googled it and it said annovulatory cycle if you have prolonged EWCM :( Also my temp (although I am taking it in the day with an ear thermometer) is 98.4 when it is usually 98.7-99.4 after ov. Not sure how much attention I should pay to that though.

olismum23 · 06/03/2011 20:37

:( fingers crossed chloe I am glad i am not the only addict.

mumtum i know what you mean about going bankrupt that is why I a only going to test on the 13th, I am only going to test on the 13th, I am only going to test on the 13th.........

Ninunina · 06/03/2011 20:47

My name is Nina and I'm also addicted to POAS or as my DH refers to as PIAG- peeing in a goblet (French for plastic cup)

I'm going to try and hold off till Wednesday or Thursday before POAS again (will be 11 PO then).

I'm also addicted to EPSS (early pregnancy symptom spotting).

List so far:

  • Slight but almost constant feeling of nausea (for a few days now, last time I felt the same a few days before BFP)
  • Gone off wine (a first for me)
  • Slightly tingly nipples
Iggly · 06/03/2011 20:57

Another poas addict here too. Last month I used up 25 cheapies, 2 boots own brand and 2 first response tests Blush all BFNs Grin

This month I have bought none. Only cd11 so I'll probably crack soon.

Interesting banana about the extended ewcm meaning anovulatory. I had loads in my WTF cycle and was very confused.

chloe I hope it's not AF :(

shorty hope your body gets back to normal soon. What were your cycles like pre MC?

Enjoy yourself hadrian Grin

Early night for me tonight. DS has been up with his teeth (molars) so I'm very tired. Trying to conserve energy for SWI!!

Ninunina · 06/03/2011 21:06

P.S slightly worried about my nausea feeling- do you think it could be left over hormones from MC that are causing it. It feels exactly like MS, but i've been feeling if since 2 days after ovulation- and as far as I know, ppl don't get morning sickness before implantation.

meliesmummy · 06/03/2011 21:14

That is interesting about lots of ewcm and not ovulating, I had loads last week and then af got me, I can't possibly have had time to ovulate this cycle! (only 7 days between end of bleeding and af).

:( Chloe, hope she doesn't get you too...

And all of you, STEP AWAY FROM THE STICKS! (can you all remind me I said that in about 3 weeks time and send me lots of fish...)

cep · 06/03/2011 21:16

good evening everyone.

i have to admit poas has slowed down since bfp (yes i said slowed down not stopped Grin) i have 1 more which i will do next thursday to make sure wks have increased.

chloe i hope not hon. fx for you.

ninu i don't think ppl can get morning sickness before implantaion either, fx for you.

oli you can stay strong hon.

hi to everyone else.

brooke89 · 06/03/2011 21:45

ladies can i ask for a bit of advice...i started bleeding on monday levels were 265, scan on wednesday where miscarriage was confirmed and levels were 87 no bleeding now and just did a POAS and it was negative (all that talk of POAS gave me the urge lol) is it safe to start trying again??

xx

olismum23 · 06/03/2011 23:02

I have started trying i started as soon as the bleeding stopped and i got a negative, as long as your emotionally ready i dont think there is an issue personally brooke but do whats best for you and your OH, good luck :)

LILI80 · 07/03/2011 07:01

My name is lili and I too am addicted to POAS in fact purchased 25 early detection ones for £4.48 from Amazon yesterday Grin

olis I'm supposed to be waiting until the 13th to test but guess what I'll be doing on wednesday when my sticks arrive Grin

Got to dash as off to work!! Hope you all have a lovely day Grin

Chloe55 · 07/03/2011 07:48

Brook You should be fine to start trying again if you and your dp feel ready.

Ok, so have POAS (surprise surprise Grin Its -ve. But, had no more bleeding since my last post, was crampy in bed last night, have had loose stools the past couple of days (very unlike me). Have woken up with a sore throat and feeling very sick so am now confused as to whether I am coming down with something or it's MS? Hmm My points on FF are showing 39 - is this high for 9dpo does anyone know?

We are seeing the consultant again this aft, I guess to discuss our other options if this first 3 months of Clomid is unsuccessful.
