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

Lol lili well i woke up at half five after having a vivid nightmare not a good start to the day :(

olismum23 · 07/03/2011 08:02

sorry x post chloe hope your not coming down with something FX :)

Chloe55 · 07/03/2011 08:05

Oooh talking dreams, gotta share - Woke up to a text from an aunty this am who is abroad and her dp has just proposed. The weird thing was, this aunty was popping up all over in my dream just before the text! Shock I am close to her but she is not someone I can ever remember dreaming about, so so weird, I was a bit freaked when I got the text!

meliesmummy · 07/03/2011 08:23

Get well soon Chloe, could it be left overs from a hangover? Wierd about your dream! Hope it goes well with consultant x

I'm off to tescos to stock up on opks, more to know what's going on than anything else. When I mentioned to dh that I was thinking of charting my temps he gave me a LOOK so I'm not going to do it. I tried to explain that it's more to do with wanting to know what on earth by body is doing but he hates the idea of being that methodical, I can only just about get away with opks!

shorty100 · 07/03/2011 09:14

Morning ladies, hope everyone is well. Did another test this morning and bfn again. Rang epu this morning and they don't want to know, was just told I shouldn't be ringing as i'm not pregnant. Not sure what to do now other than wait. Iggly my cycles afford mc were very regular between 30-32 days.

laylasmummy09 · 07/03/2011 09:15

morning all Smile thanx for your advice, think im just gonna give up waiting and DTD or buy some opks and see whats happening like melies my oh probrerbly wont agree on being so methodical so ill maybe just do it in secret Wink hope you feel better soon chloe have a good day everyone x

cep · 07/03/2011 09:19

morning all,

brooke as the others have said as soon as you've stopped bleeding and have had -ve test, if you're ready emotionally there's nothing to stop you.

chloe i don't want to get your hopes up, but i had funny stomach cramps for most of the 2 weeks before bfp, (remember me talking about the epo not taking passed ov and worrying about it?) i also had a few loose stools, and started coming down with a cold (which i still have the blasted cough) which the main coldy symptoms didn't last long but as i said the cough is still around. i hope it is a sign and not just illness. good luck for your appt. (oh and 9dpo is still early)

mel why is it that men seem to hate anything that would actually help us in these circumstances. my dh was the same, until i told him it didn't tell me when we needed to do dtd but when the time had passed and when he could rest. Grin he still hated it when i bought anything though (opk and hpt).

collie hope you had a good time in London.

hope everyone else is ok.

cep · 07/03/2011 09:28

shorty found this,here it says on here about possibly taking up to 6-7 weeks if you've had a natural.

layla good luck.

shorty100 · 07/03/2011 10:07

Thanks cep will have a look. Good luck chloe, hope its good news. I have the same symptoms too, hopefully will be good news for me too, would be happy to see af too. X

Chloe55 · 07/03/2011 10:24

Thanks ladies. Having a real wobble here, have been getting my hopes up and I know 9dpo is early to test but if I have been spotting for the past couple of days then surely if I was pg then my HCG levels would be on the rise now. Have also checked the accuracy of my One Step tests and they appear to detect levels between 10-25ml which is pretty low so I would have thought it would show a positive by now Confused This is the worst month for me so far I think in needing to know, it's probably because I seem to be showing symptoms but am now worried it's all in my head??? Arrggh I want to fast forward at least a week so I know either way, the suspense is sending me crazy Sad

shorty The EPU sound like they were being pretty insensitive Angry

olismum23 · 07/03/2011 10:39

Chloe hunny i am the same as you I am really down BFN this morning on 15muil sensitive tests boobs have been very sensitive for a while and my insides are swollen DH is convinced I am does not help :(

Chloe55 · 07/03/2011 10:43

Yes olismum my dh is the same too, it isn't really helping!!! Grin I feel slightly more at ease having googled a little more - apparantly it takes between 2-4 days after implantation has ceased to get a +ve on a sensitive test so there is still time

olismum23 · 07/03/2011 11:07

Well thats something chloe overwhelmingly sad today its really badly got to me :(

cep · 07/03/2011 11:28

ladies i'm sorry you're both feeling so low today. i can't really say anything except what i said before it is really early. I can't be a hypocrite and tell you not to test for a while, you all know i couldn't. But i am keeping everything crossed for you both.

Collie2 · 07/03/2011 11:40

Hi everyone. Just on way home and on phone so will do a proper catch up on laptop later. I have been lurking over the weekend just not had chance to post.

chloe just wanted to post and reply. I was thinking of you this morning and googled early morning pg signs (honestly not for me Hmm ) anyway, cramping and spotting can all be +ive signs as you know. As can your mood, think it can bring the range monster out of all of us. How is your cervical mucus? I think cm can also be a sign? The implantation dip I mentioned can cone about 8 or 9 dpo, but like cep said, not everyone gets it. I really wouldn't be disheartend too much about you -ive tests yet. I took my 1st pg (b4 mc) about 10 dpo and got a -ive. I didn't test again till about 2 1/2 weeks post ov so don't know when it would have changed, but I think you have plenty of time to still get you bfp. I'm clearly not doing a very good job of helping you manage your expectations it in case it's a bfn.... But I have a REALLY good feeling about this for you! Grin

for all you fellow addict symptom spoters have a look at this if you can't find a symptom on here that you're experiencing I'll eat my hat!! Grin.

this one might actually be more helpful! Grin

olismum23 · 07/03/2011 13:10

Well ladies that is me taking drastic action away camping tomorrow no electricity till Sunday :) I will also (hopefully) stop me from POAS quite so much lol :)

Iggly · 07/03/2011 13:41

Enjoy camping oli! the weather is lovely today so hope it holds. Fingers crossed for you and chloe that you get BFPs.

I went to playgroup this morning and got a bit upset as bumped into a mum who'd had number 2 with her (few weeks old) and the age gap was the same as what mine would have been with DS. Seeing the little scrunchie newborn just made me feel :( texted DH and he was nice and sympathetic which made me feel a teeny bit better.

MumTumWanted · 07/03/2011 14:20

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

chloe 9 DPO is very early still so dont give up hope

oils you are very brave i cant cope without my hair straightners...

collie after looking at your links ive now got more sympotoms than even i knew ( but still got bfn when poas this morning Sad )

shorty im so sorry your epu was so insensitive is there anyone you can complain too ?

and cep Glad you have had no further bleeds x

and all you other ladies too, my OH is very against poas and temping charting etc he says we've only tried once and fell 1st time ( though ended in mc) so trying for the 2nd time now and only in cycle 1 so no need to panic yet, he wants the fun side of things first i think... he doesnt seem to understand the female mentally ( or mine at least) that if your going to get something done you may as well do it with the best informed choices possible. ..... (not only that but we ladies are so busy multi tasking that we may aswell conserve energy for SWI that will not only be pleasurable but fruitful too Wink Grin !!)

as for me.... BFN again this morning really must stop this addiction... i guess the very feint line --that was not even there- of yesterdays pee stick was just a figment of my imagination as there was defintely nothing this morning... as for symptoms ive had all sorts of unusual aches and cramps in lower tummy and a chronic back ache, i also woke last night very hot and unable to cool down and feeling very nasueous (but no odd dreams as some of you have had !!Wink )on the other hand...no sore chest and no +ive on the stick Sad........ though usually i do get headaches in run up to af and havent had one yet and due tomorrow so would have thought by now..... oh please someone pass that haddock !!!!

cep · 07/03/2011 15:16

oli enjoy camping. Where abouts are you going??

mumtum see what happens over the next few days. sometimes the hormone levels can take a little while to build up, that's why they say it's best not to test until af due. infact that could stand for oli and chloe Grin

meliesmummy · 07/03/2011 15:53

Sorry you are all having bad days :( I'll put out some virtual versions of the nigella cookies I made with dd yesterday, enjoy!

oli you are braver than me! I refuse to go camping before Easter, and we take electricity! Enjoy, where are you going?

I bought 14 opks, added to the 2 I had left over from December I should have enough to last the month! I seem to have stopped bleeding, if it was af it's my shortest ever, i think the next one will be a killer to make up for it! My dh is usually really scientific over everything (he's an engineer) except this, he doesn't really get my anxiety, he just assumes it'll happen when it does.

Anyway, I'm off to play with dd before I need to get ready for work, I'd like to add that I'm not only addicted to poas I'm also addicted to mn!

Blackkat · 07/03/2011 18:39

Quick post, sorry, stuff going on at home.

mouse really lurking for news from you - I hope you are making a good recovery and not at work? xx

hiding so sorry AF got you,

to all you testaholics, I have FX for Chloe and Oli, thanks for yummy snack replenishment hidingintheclostemumtum!

Ninunina · 07/03/2011 19:17

Good evening ladies!

Looks like we really need those cookies and choccy to cheer us up.

Oli & Chloe I'm feeling pretty similar to you. Not feeling so confident about this month anymore. I realised that its too soon to test, so haven't done so again, but I'm annoyed at myself for attributing my sickie feeling to MS. I just don't understand why I feel like this when it's way too early (and I'm sure it's not in my head).

Enjoy camping Oli

I had a dip in temp today too. I know it could be an implantation dip, but somehow doubt it.
