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.

Hi ladies.

Trying to catch up but not sure I can!

oils A line is a line, why not try a digital in the morning? How many DPO are you?

Collie I hated temping, it never was clear for me. I also think that as some nights are colder than others it will have an impact on your temp.

Update from me: I now have sore nipples :) Have carried on SWI every 3 days MAX so hopefully I covered things. No sign of EWCM today but loads of creamy. Also my stomach lurched upon entering Starbucks today....and I have constant pubic bone pain.....but I could be imagining half of that.

Chloe55 · 08/03/2011 17:59

Oh I am sorry missinvincible Sad I understand your cncerns for being scared to try again. I have had 2 MCs and have up and down days as to whether I am strong enough to go through it again if the worst was to happen. I can't quite remember who posted it but someone mentioned some stats about probabilities of having recurrent MCs and when you get into the multiples the chances are very slim if that is any consolation to you. All the ladies on here are great and we will be here to hold your hand all the way.

cep · 08/03/2011 18:04

hi missinvincible welcome, again i'm sorry the blood test results weren't so good. weekly testing, that's so frustrating, What have they said in the mean time? Feel free to rant and stress as much as you need to. allow yourself time to grieve, are you off work?

MissInvincible · 08/03/2011 18:17

Thanks for the welcome.

cep they have basically said they will wait until I miscarry naturally as I did last time, as my hcg levels are very low. They suspect it is an ectopic pregnancy but cannot confirm as they couldn't see where it was on the scan, I am just praying that hcg is on its way down, 99 to 91 doesn't seem very much of a difference!

I've had yesterday and today off work, back tomorrow but just going to see how it goes. Work have been really good about it but I think I would drive myself crazy sitting around the house all day and prefer to keep busy. It is the waiting for things to happen that is the worst part!

meliesmummy · 08/03/2011 18:21

welcome miss invincible, it sounds like you've had a rotten few months, I hope this thread brings you luck, we've had a few bfps recently.

all good signs banana.

How are you feeling about things now collie?

Just a quick stop, dd'll be back from swimming any minute and will expect her dinner to be on the table! I'm planning our nice evening that af forced me to postpone, nice dinner and wine then early night...bleedings stopped and given that I've got no idea really what's going on I think it'll be swi every other night this month! I'll start using opks on Friday (day7) I think.

cep · 08/03/2011 18:26

Are they going to do another scan on Monday or just blood tests? Don't push yourself too much, am glad work is being good.

MissInvincible · 08/03/2011 18:40

I've been told just for blood tests to make sure my hcg levels are decreasing, they will decide what to do after that.

Collie2 · 08/03/2011 19:16

Hi all. Thanks again for all your advice ladies. I've done my head in today thinking about it. Here's Wine to hoping that it's not an issue. melies thanks for checking on me. I'm ok. Fed up of worrying about it especially when I don't know if there is anything to worry about. I think I'll see how my cycle pans out and if it doesn't look great I might make an apt with my gp in a week or two.
cep tbh I was a bit suprised they didn't ask me back but I was still in so much shock I think I wasn't thinking clearly as was just relieved for it to be 'over'.

Chloe sorry I was so wrapped up in myself today I didn't comment on your apt yesterday. Glad it went well and that you have a few more shots at clomid if you don't get your bfp this month. At least the clomid isn't quite so hellish now too. So, are you poas everyday now? 11dpo tomorrow-that's getting v close to a reliable test day!! Smile i'll be lurking tomorrow for an update!
Mumtum sorry you are low today. Hope you're feeling better now. Had a look at your chat but tbh I can't read it. It looks very stable to me and your still above your coverline. My understanding of ff I'd limited and I've not done my homework on the post ov phase yet. Are you WTF or cycle 1?

invincible so so sorry to read about your losses. You must be devastated. You sound like you ate coping well, but please be kind to yourself, you've been through a lot.

yrmotb if you're still lurking, CONGRATULATIONS!!! I've done my own lurking today! Grin what lovely news!!

lily06 · 08/03/2011 19:34

Evening all,

Wow there's a lot to catch up on.

Olis that is fab news, keeping everying crossed for you. Have you done a digital yet?

Chloe great news about being able to continue on Clomid, fx you won't need any more though Smile

Collie sorry you're having trouble identifying ov, same here. Sadly it doesn't seem unusual to have no support from gp / hosp / epu after mc.

Mouse So sorry you had to go through everything again, hope you are doing ok.

Cep how's things? Hope you are having an uneventful time Smile

MumTum sorry you're feeling down. Wedding dress shopping sounds like fun though - is it for your wedding or your sister?

Welcome invincible, sorry you find yourself here, but hope we can help to give you the support you need. My MC was also 'unknown location' and probably ectopic. My first pregnany was ecoptic. Was it your second unknown location mc? Waiting for the levels to drop just seems to take for ever, doesn't it.

Blackkat Hope you are ok and that we see you back on here soon.

I had a bit of a crap weekend, was really looking forward to our night about but it was a grotty hotel, with SINGLE beds....not cheap either Angry Feeling a bit down this week. Not sure if its just hormones. Still no crosshairs on FF and on day 22 now, so no idea if not going to ovulate or whether I have and the temps just aren't reliable enough. CM is slippery but not what I'd call egg white and I've got ovary pain. No idea how much of that is down to clomid though. Sorry, moan over Grin

Youremindmeofthebabe · 08/03/2011 19:44

Ha, collie I lurk here and there and everywhere Grin Thank you Smile

Collie2 · 08/03/2011 19:44

Who's having pancakes??!!! I'm having savory, followed by lots of sweet!! Grin Grin

OP posts:
cep · 08/03/2011 19:53

yrmotb i can't remember if i said congratulations or not, so just incase yay congratulations. Do you know what kind of wedding you want (church, abroad etc)

collie i had a couple with choc spread on. yummy.

lily so sorry your weekend wasn't what you hoped. just had a quick check of your chart, such a shame your temp today wasn't accurate (the circle thing) your temp jumped up a bit yesterday. could be the startof the temp raise.

brooke89 · 08/03/2011 20:06

well ive been looking forward to pancakes all day, but after going through a bag of flour amd several eggs ive officially given up :( I am the worst pancake maker in the world!

cep · 08/03/2011 20:09

i cheated and bought a mix today, cause i'm no good at making them either.

olismum23 · 08/03/2011 20:52

Hi ladies went all the way up to where i was camping and they have had snow warnings!!! Oh well hope again back to obsess of extremely faint lines if its not strong by Monday i would not think i am/going to stay/pregnant for long trying not to worry about it one thing i did learn from my m/c is there is nothing i can do to control this body of mine.
Sorry about your troubles Collie I would get it checked out my Aunt had her under-active thyroid detected 2 years ago after 13yrs of trying for DC#2 now she is 15weeks pregnant and she has not been trying, trying for years IYNWIM.

Ninunina · 08/03/2011 20:55

Yummy!!! I've just finished scoffing some lovely pancakes made by my DH (oh sorry...I have to call them crepes.....he's French!).

Olis A line is a line! Congratulations...I'm sure you've taken a bag full of HPT with you. Looking forward to hearing more about it on Sunday.

MissInvincible so sorry that you're going through your second mc in such a short period of time.

cep hope everything is going well? Any real pregnancy symptoms yet?

Well, I got serious POAS envy this morning after seeing Olis post. I ran straight to the toilet and ripped open my box of Clear Blue (even though it's at least 1 day too early). I think my eyes must be playing tricks on me, because I think I can see the slightest hint of a line. I'm not jumping up with joy yet, because it really could be my imagination.

My ff is showing a possible implantation dip yesterday (it went up again today)...so I'm hoping I haven't gone totally bonkers, and I haven't dreamt up all these signs.

I will try again tomorrow with FMU- but I'm not sure I'll be able to update you all before Friday since I'm off to Barcelona for work tomorrow.

cep · 08/03/2011 21:02

oli oh no, have to admit thought you were very brave to go camping in march. will you get your money back?

ninu i'm ok thanks no real symptoms just really tired, felt a bit sick today but think was more causei was so tired, ds woke us up at 4 this morning. That's not fair you can't tease us like that. i expect an fmu then report while you're eating breakfast. Smile fx for you.

Ninunina · 08/03/2011 21:07

Maybe I won't leave you in suspense cep....I've become so addicted to reading all your updates that I've been sneaking my phone to the loo whilst at work and having a quick read...so chances are I'll be able to update you in the morning Blush

Collie2 · 08/03/2011 21:10

Finished stuffing my face full of pancakes now. Mushroom spinach and cheese followed by strawberry and choc and good old fashioned lemon 'n' sugar! Yummm feel slightly now and can't think why.... Confused

Ninu I can't believe you have told us this and are now going to leave us hanging!! Well fx. A trip to barca sounds nice even if it is for work!

olis booo to the snow. At least we'll get a poas update from you tomorrow too.

OP posts:
olismum23 · 08/03/2011 21:10

ninu mine are all slightest hints of lines too i tested early too so will just have to see for me im not 14dpo till Sunday hope it is for you :)

Cep It s was ok the boy was ok about it and it was pay when you got there so i still have money going to spend it on bubble bath lol :)

Also im in agony tonight so its just as well getting shooting pains in my lower right area.. so god knows!

Collie2 · 08/03/2011 21:12

Grin ninu that's what I do. Grin except today as office quiet so sneaked on!!

OP posts:
cep · 08/03/2011 21:15

ninu just don't mistake the two. yeurgh

collie funnily enough i never think of savoury pancakes, i wonder why. Grin

oli That's not to bad then, you still have the money to go out and do stuff from home maybe.
I've been getting pains on the r/hand of my stomach right from the start. still getting them now.

LILI80 · 08/03/2011 21:18

olis As they say a line is a line! fx for you! Smile

ninu That sounds promising! Are you going to test again tomorrow? fx for you too! Smile

ok now for a bit of me me - I'm due to test on Sunday but yesterday I got lots of cm some of which was a little bit pink but has now gone clear. Does this sound like AF arriving? Is it too late for implantation?

I ordered some tests from Amazon and I am now going out of my head waiting patiently for them to arrive as I know I'll test as soon as they arrive! Grin

I have also eaten loads of pancakes and have just finished cleaning up the aftermath in the kitchen!

missinvincible sorry for your loss but the ladies on here will really look after you.

Hope everyone else is ok.
