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.

cep I don't usually make savory I am a big kid and like to just suff my face with sweet ones and skip tea but dh likes to have dinner, so we compromise! First time I've had them like that, v tastey!

I hope your lines get darker olis and ninu (my dh is French too and he's most put out that we didn't gave crepes/pancakes bcos dd had some at nursery at lunchtime and we had leftovers to eat). Boo to the snow!

Lily it's a shame your weekend didn't go as planned.

Cep yay for symptoms!

Anyway, off to bed, Wink, good night all

cep · 08/03/2011 21:25

lili does that make you about 9 dpo? don't see why it couldn't be implantation, they say between 6-10dpo (they being google ofcourse) fx for you.

collie my dh moaned cause we had dinner and not just pancakes. Grin

right i'm off to bed, after a 4am start this morning am soo tired.

Ninunina · 08/03/2011 21:27

Lili how many days post ovulation are you? Implantation is generally between 7-12 days post ovulation, so I imagine if you're due to test on Sunday then it could very well be implantation. I had a pinkish brownish discharge at 10 days PO last time...then got a BFP a few days later, so sounds very promising!

MumTumWanted · 08/03/2011 21:29

my a lot of chatting today ladies, i think this covers it

fx olis really hope it is but that many feints is defo a good sign .....
ninu we really want that update in the morning ....
collie your savory pancake sounded yummy we just stuck with golden syrup on some and lemon and sugar on others i feel very stuffed an doubt will not now fit in the wedding dress i chose today !
yrmotb congrats to you too !!!

lily weddng dress shopping for me who knew it would be so exhausting and we only had to visit 2 bridal shops ! im not the slimmest nor the tallest and im a G cup bra so trying to get a dress which flatters me and fits at the top and bottom is proving near on impossible though lots of laughs with my mum and lil sis trying on some of the them !

as for me.. still no af no sore boobs no headache no BFP but have ordered cb digis today from amazon so fx they turn up soon and i will try again ....

my link again with hopefully double brackets that will work (thank you for the instructions again !)

also cant remember who asked but i was thinking i was in cycle 1 but actually i may still be in the WTF but that seems a bit excessive being that i mc on 29th DEC !!!

Collie2 · 08/03/2011 21:29

Lili what dpo ar you? Think implantation dip comes around day 9. Post a link to your ff page on here so I can stalk you if you like.

lily sorry you're struggling to. Looking at your ucl you are quite late on. Have you been doing smep anyway?

OP posts:
lily06 · 08/03/2011 21:50

MumTum we sound like twins, I'm only 5ft4, about size 14/16 and a HH cup. I know exactly what you mean about wedding dresses - they're mostly designed for size 8 flat chested! You'll have to post some links to the ones you're looking at. Your link to FF worked this time, I've added you to my charts (hopefully).

Collie I've been attempting SMEG, or at least something close to it (ie just as often as possible from day 3 onwards). This could be fun if its another 50 day cycle Grin

Cep Thanks for the chart advice. Actually forgot to temp today, had to rush around this morning to make time to syringe three types of medicine into one of our chickens before work....

Ninu keeping fx for you

No pancakes here, will have them tomorrow I think since we forgot all about it. I like savory ones best, though always manage to curdle the mix, so that will be up to DH.

MumTumWanted · 08/03/2011 21:56

lily id forever be the jealous twin im only 4ft11 you are positively tall compared to me Envy Grin but i agree about the designs they really are daft and they expect you to visualise what the dress would look like in the correct size ! some chance... but still i will try and work out how to find the link... oh and my DDs name is lily how strange is that !!!

Ninunina · 08/03/2011 21:58

When are you getting married Mumtum? I got married last July, also not the slimmest (size 12), and not the tallest (5ft5), and quite big busted. I found the corset type dresses the most flattering. Aren't you worried that you'll have a bump and won't fit into the dress?

LILI80 · 08/03/2011 22:13

cep collie ninu thanks for your posts. I haven't been charting or anything. I tried checking my cm but I was never quite sure so not sure exactly when I ov'd (if i actually did!) but if I go by the MN ovulation predicter then I'm about 12 dpo at the moment and I got the pinkish discharge yesterday.

Oh god I hope these tests arrive tomorrow!!! Wink

Blackkat · 08/03/2011 23:02

Evening everyone, blimey that's one day's worth of post, it's taken me half an hour to catch up.

do hope you're doing ok xx

Collie, YRMOTB is so right it can take a couple of cycles for things to settle, but go talk to the GP sooner than next cycle if you need to, hell that's what they're there for!

Ninu Olis how exciting....faint lines are still lines ladies.

Chloe pleased that they've given you more months on Clomid, I've been told that the accumulation of a few months can help to increase chances...FX!!

Lili FX for your symptoms, Lily sorry your weekend wasn't as lovely as you'd hoped, that's always disappointing Sad

Melies I agree with the other ladies that your work colleague probably doesn't know what to say, still tough though!

cep thanks for keeping us all on the straight and narrow still!

Shorty hope you're feeling better?

miss Invincible welcome, so sorry to read your story, hope we can offer some help here.

hadrian · 08/03/2011 23:06

Ooh it's all happening! Very exciting olis and ninu...and sounding promising lili. Fx for you all.

yrmotb am I right in thinking you're getting married? If so many, many congratulations, that is wonderful news.

Not much to report here except that we have been following the SMEP religiously and so now begins three weeks of phantom symptom spotting and obsessive POAS behaviour. Oh joy...

hadrian · 08/03/2011 23:12

Oh blackkat sorry to hear about your Dad. What a difficult time for you and your family. It's good that you can be there for your parents. Do you know when the op is? I very much hope that it all goes well

LILI80 · 09/03/2011 08:27

oh blackat so sorry to hear about your dad Sad. Try not to feel guilty (easier said than done!) your parents obviously really care and understood what you were going through which is why they chose not to say anything,which when I read your post I thought was such a lovely thing to do. They were doing what parents will always do and protecting their child.

The main thing is you're feeling stronger now to deal with it and be there for them Smile for you chick, hope it all goes well xx

cep · 09/03/2011 08:30

morning all.

ninu come on you must have poas by now.

blackkat so sorry about your dad being ill. wishing you and your family all the best of get well wishes.

Chloe55 · 09/03/2011 08:30

Just a quickie before the school run - still a BFN here Sad my points on ff keep rising though and are currently 55, temps still up so not losing all hope yet. Watch this space.

blackkat so sorry to hear about your dad Sad

cep · 09/03/2011 08:32

chloe what is your longest cycle? just wondering if you're still early.

Collie2 · 09/03/2011 08:58

Ohblackkat I am so so sorry what awful news. You must be do worried. When is DDs operation, is it today? As LILI said though try not to feel guilty, your parents chose not to tell you bcs they care about you and could see you had other grief you needed to get over. You know now and you are clearly there for them and that's what counts. Thinking of you. X

ninu You surely must have poas by now ??? And olis do you have a stronger line to report??

chloe Sad for your bfn but I agree with cep prob still early. All still looking promising.

Had a smidgen of a rise this morning do still not v high, but at least it's still up. Not going allow myself to worry today. Smile

Collie2 · 09/03/2011 09:03

mumtum I'm very Envy of your wedding and dress shopping. Mine was almost 5 years ago.... It's seems so long ago. I think it should be compulsary to do it again!! Grin my dress is in the attic, couldn't bring myself to get rid of it. But i am pretty confident I wouldn't get in it. I am also small at 5ft21/2 (very important 1/2) but was super slim back then. Sad

OP posts:
meliesmummy · 09/03/2011 09:04

Morning all.

Any news ninu?

Any more symptoms Chloe? :( about the bfn.

How are you today collie?

Sorry to hear about your dad blackout. I agree with LILI, they had the best intentions in trying to protect you, I hope his treatment goes well x

Congratulations on all the wedding news yrmotb and mumtum. Heres hoping for wedding day bumps! Wine I was 12 weeks pg when I got married (not a shotgun wedding, we just stopped being careful and caught first time...I naively thought it would be that easy again!) it was great being able to remember everything the next day and not having a hangover but morning sickness on your wedding night kind of puts a dampner on things!

We going to soft play in a bit, hope you all havd nice days x

olismum23 · 09/03/2011 10:14

Morning ladies bad news here definite BFN'S this morning whatever the shooting pains were yesterday they were not a good thing :( :( :(

Collie2 · 09/03/2011 10:26

olis i am so so so sorry for you. Its cruel to have your hopes raised and then dashed. Truley sorry,

Be kind to yourself today, do something nice.

OP posts:
MumTumWanted · 09/03/2011 10:49

thank you ladies for the wedding wishes, I shouldnt have a bump as the weddings not til next April but its in Mexico so get the right season dress ( for temp not style ) i need to look and order it now ... Thats why i so want to concieve as i only have this or next month and then we have to stop trying till after the wedding so FX crossed for me.... Still no AF but massive drop in my temp yesterday from a usual 37+ to 36.5 and today at 36.6 very odd so no longer helpful and today i have the headache which i usually get day before AF so i think my body is being cruel and i have just had a longer than usual cycle, but as we say its not over til af arrives and she isnt yet .....

blackkat im so sorry too to hear of news on your dad but i firmly agree that your parents had your best intentions in mind and as you say you are now in a stronger place yourself to be able to deal with it,

olis Sorry for the BFN this morning, isnt TCC a cruel game at times...

come on ninu dont keep us in suspense .... I found one yesterday and agree the corset top is defo the most flattering need it for the bust but can pull it right in around my waist, Just seems a shame they all have lovely trains but mine will get all cut off mostly cos i dont want in dragging in the sand but also as they are about 2 foot to long for my height !!!

and chloe there is still time you and i need to hold each others hands i think my ff points yesterday were 55 not input for today so unsure what my temp dip will do to that Confused !!!

mouse How you doing Hun ?

well best get back to some work

Waves out to all i have name checked hope you are all refraining from POAS addictions , ignoring all your phantom symptoms and generally trying to live and breath with out TTC obsessions ! ( i know im not but we can live in hope Grin )

Chloe55 · 09/03/2011 10:58

Oh I am sorry olis Sad What a crappy few highs and lows you have had these past few days.

I actually used the underskirt to my wedding dress for fancy dress at NYE's party! Some of my friends were horrifid Grin

Was crampy first thing but then nothing since. Am still quite nauseous but again, just not sure whether it's in my head as it's easy to make yourself feel sick iykwim.

Chloe55 · 09/03/2011 10:59

Oh and my last CL was 32 days which I am guessing sounds about right for months that I maybe do ovulate as other times they have been as high as 42 days.
