Coffee lounge and bar for MI5 interviewees, little friends and other CM studiers post MC – Part II

[wombatinwaiting]

Here is part II of our intrepid journey through the minefield that is TTC post MC. You can find part I on this thread.

Aww - thanks so much sparkly - DH has gone to bed really early but I daren't as I think I'll wake up early or not sleep properly and start mentalling about the scan.....

WEll done on remembering yellow's DD - hope you're doing ok my tomato friend - thinking of you lots xx

good luck tomorrow wombat, keep us updated.
Yellow thinking of you and dh today, hope youve consumed lots of alcohol today. Xx

Sending hugs to yellow for today and wombat for tomorrow. Am watching britain's got talent amazed at Amanda Holden, she must be a very strong woman. Hi to all x

Hugs to yellow, hope you're ok lovely.

Wombat, good luck for tomorrow, hope you're getting some sleep.

Think I'm out, had some pinkish discharge. All feels never ending. I took having health children for granted, amazing how your views change.

Been out to some friends for dinner, the one who's due same time I would have been with Jan mc bean. Had a lively time. I didn't drink just in case so dh has drunk for both of us. He's now snoring on sofa, think I might leave him here and go to bed .

Hi all

Thanks for the thoughts, I have indeed been drinking. Bit of lunch (with wine) and culture at the Tate followed by a nap and more wine. Still feel exhausted from top level technology conference so off to bed shortly.

wombat hope you are sleeping soundly and really look forward to waking up to your good news tomorrow.

Even dp didn't remember dd and I didn't want to bring it up. Thank you all and big hugs all round.

Morning girls I am here ready and waiting to take your orders, thinking about wombat. I will just sit here with my bowl of shreddies .......
harassed I hope you are ok, it's only 4 weeks since you had another disappointment, and I worry you are putting too much pressure on yourself ....

Morning all, couldn't sleep again, too many bloody cats in the house
Wombat, I've got all your favourite pastries, and a smoothie, and there is some soothing 80's rock on the jukebox for you, bit of Scorpions . How did it go?

Ooh, morning Worm! No brekkie for me thanks, I've, er, had a few pastries.

Morning!

Been awake for ages, but just lolling about in bed as I have a headache. Glad I did because Daisy kitten has a bad tummy again. She was really doing well, and now she's not. Quite worried about her.

Worm I was actually having doubts about whole ttc think tbh. Maybe I should just be grateful for dd. I don't know tbh.

Sparkly your breakfast sounds yummy. I've had tea and ducked digestives.

Wombat just checking up on you!

Morning! I?m trying very hard to be good on the breakfast front as I must lose pounds. Saw a couple of photos of me yesterday and was a bit taken aback! So, melon and coffee for me.

harassed - lolling around in bed sounds lovely. Are you doing ok? I?m with you 100% on the worry after getting a bfp now. Up until my last pregnancy it was the stress of getting pregnant that was getting to me. But after this latest mc, I?m definitely worrying more about the 12 weeks after that. In fact I?m dreading it. It doesn?t make it any less disappointing when you don?t get a bfp though.

Rhubarb jam sounds good! (... must stop thinking about yummy things!)

Is anyone on this thread charting? I?m going to start again now and am just wondering if there?s anyone I can stalk on FF. Annoyingly I poas this morning and it?s still showing up positive so it seems everything isn?t quite back to normal. I?ll test again in another week or so just to be sure there?s nothing I should go and see about.

wombat I would ditto harassed?s advice about pregnacare. I really struggled with it but am taking straight folic acid now and find it much better. You?re not selling the omega 3 option to me sparkly - g?ads!

Where in Scotland are you from wellieboots? Hope you?re enjoying Oz. Are you there for good?

What times is your scan today wombat? I hope you?re doing ok. In fact, if it was 24 hours from your 7.15am post yesterday, does that mean you?ve had your scan by now?

worm I think your kids would love wedding day in London. The atmosphere?s going to be out of this world and they?ll remember it forever. They?re old enough to go the pub aren?t they . I have a rubbish imagination and have no idea what you all look like.

Sorry you had a horrible anniversary to deal with yesterday yellow. It?s good to get these dates behind you though.

Morning all and sorry for not having posted earlier - had to go straight into a meeting as soon as I got back from docs.....

Anyway, it's all great news!! - measuring exactly 8w3d which is spot on with mine and HB at 175bpm! It's the furthest we've got so all seems a bit surreal! My stomach was flipping somersaults on the way there and I practically slid to the floor with relief once I'd clambered out of the stirrups (or maybe that was too much lube on the dildocam! ) Wombatbean did a little wiggle but not much but could just see the arm and leg buds. There was a big blobby bit at the end of bean's feet which I asked what it was and apparently it's the yolk sac - thought I knew lots about early pg - clearly not! Ob/gyn was so lovely and reassuring and I really got the feeling genuinely thrilled for us!

So sorry about the me me me post - will come back later and name check but really wanted you guys to know asap - thanks so much for all the hand-holding. I know we're not out of the woods yet, but it feels like a real relief to be this far

I'm here too waiting for news, come on wombat I'm also in need of some weight loss so I'm having grapefruit!

I think it was someone elses dd today, sorry if I got this wrong but I think it was worm just in case I'm sending big hugs to you all.

wombat oh the relief, I have been on tenderhooks!! Great news!!

Thanks yellow but not my DD, that is June 18th, but I will have a hug anyway

harassed I too have been having a wobble about ttc again, I'm worried that with 2 healthy kids already I am pushing my luck and being greedy? but then I look around at everyone else who had lots of kids and think I am being daft, and should just go for it. I have definately not being letting thoughts of ttc rule my life as much as it has been. We registered for tickets for the olympics in 2012 and 2 months ago I wouldn't have done that just in case.....

I am waiting for Dh to get back from stag do whilst watching the marathon totally awe inspiring, and will go for a run plod when he gets back.

ochaye annoying re the + test still, have you stopped bleeding yet? if so then a visit to the GP may be order...

Phew what a relief wombat so happy for you, that is fantastic. We can all relax and enjoy a sunny Sunday now.

Hurrah for wiggly Wombatbean! As you can see Wombat, all the ladies have gathered for your me me me post Such fantastic news, I'm really pleased. My scan will be at 8+4, so hoping for a similarly happy outcome. By the way, it's my due date today Yellow, me me me
Wombat, dh says bean's heartbeat is faster than a techno record, cool kid!

Phew, need a now...

Aw thanks ladies- it kind of felt like you were all there with me holding your breath too! Good to hear that we have such a funky bean sparkly - please thank your DH for the info . Hope you're feeling ok about your dd and yellow thanks for sharing in the excitement too even though I'm sure you're feeling a bit blue.... sounds like you had a nice day yesterday - so that's the Tate twice in a month for you, I think - that must make you the culturevulture of this thread. What with worm and her lady of the manor status, we have quite a posh thread here

Thanks for sorting brekkie out worm and well done for hitting the streets again today - it is indeed v inspiring watching others. Whenever I get to a knackered point, I think about the grace and fluidity of those long distance runners and it gives me a second wind.

Bugger re: the +ve test ochaye - do you mind me asking how long since your m/c and how long since you stopped bleeding. I would second yellow's suggestion re: a visit to the doc, just to rule out remaining tissue etc. On here, Yellow is a charter and pecka has done some too although yellow probably picked up some amazing new body scanning technology last week that takes her temp without moving a muscle....

Has AF appeared in full yet harassed? - hope you're holding up ok and not at all surprising that you and ochaye and worm are all having doubts about ttc again - it really is a stressful thing post mc..... how is daisy kitten doing?

Hope you're doing ok pecka and wellie and emma and mana and nurse - waves to all.

P.S. sparkly - scorpions? relaxing? has baby brain got you?!

Hey sparkly you were my second guess, hope the excitement of new bean is helping you today.

Yes indeed I am a charter, I found it v helpful to pinpoint ov but don't bother on weekends cos waking up so late really messes with temps.

And where is pecka hiding in a corner poas so we can't see her?

wombat the way you keep track of cycles and leisure activities is truly impressive, maybe I should offer you a job! Off to the park today same as last Sunday!

Re royal wedding I shall be as far away from central London as poss, think it will be v overcrowded with tube/road closures and not fun at all - not really getting in the spirit am I?

Impressive yellow or just plain nosey?! - my RL friends call me nosey so I might start hanging around here more often....! Enjoy the park today and I hop the sun stays out. Let me know how I can apply for "the firm"!

Wombat fantastic news!!!

Sparkly must be mixed feelings for you today, hope you can have a nice alcohol free day.

Yellow enjoy your day, hope the weather holds. The sun is a bit hit and miss here.

Worm yes that's how I feel! Very impressed with your running, wish I could find some motivation...

No af here, but only cd26. Will test in the morning as I said, but had some brownish tinged cm so think af will be putting in an appearance. Probably not a bad thing tbh. After first mc I was quite relaxed about ttc, but this time I feel a bit obsessive. A bit like if I'm going to have 3 mc's then just get it over and done with.

Just cut the grass whilst dh is cooking roast dinner. Role reversal today, mind you you would have thought he might come and give me a hand in the garden whilst it's all in the oven, but is instead watching boxing on tv .

Back from the park, dp doing a bbq and I'm having a glass of Rose, happy days!

Yay wombat, brilliant news :-) x

Wowweeee ... what an amazingly beautiful day it's been ... even up here in the north! I've been sunbathing and everything. Unfortunately DD2 decided to top a very lovely day off by throwing herself off a friends sofa backwards and cracking her head off their coffee table. So she's currently at a&e having her head glued and we can't wash her hair for a week. Oops!

wombat I am SO delighted to hear your news. I can't imagine how it must have felt to see your wriggly wombatbean.

Hope you're doing ok sparkly. It's bound to have been a tricky day despite sparklybean snuggled up inside.

Thanks for your thoughts re: the doc. Do you think I could leave it a bit longer? I started mc'ing last Saturday. I keep thinking the bleeding's stopped then I get another gush. I thought I'd leave it another week and if things still aren't right and I haven't had my negative, then I'll go and see someone? This is the down side of not going to epu, but I really don't want any intervention if I can help it and my body has done a brilliant job of getting rid of everything so far!

Morning ladies - healthy home-made granola, fruit salad and low fat yoghurt for brekkie today since everyone has been complaining about weight gain!

Thanks again for all your good wishes - DH and I went down to the sailing club for dinner to celebrate last night (steak and guinness pie for me - I need my iron after all ) and I slept like an absolute log last night - still weird dreams but not enough to disturb me this time.

Gosh ochaye - I hadn't realised you are still so early on - sending hugs - yes, definitely give it another week in that case before testing again and worrying about docs.

Sounds like a gorgeous weekend had by all - most of your weather / parks / bbqs etc.... sorry to hear re: your DD ochaye - hope she's doing ok. It's the holidays right(?) so I guess you can keep a closer eye on her while she recovers.....

So, we're on symptom watch for harassed (anything more for symptoms or AF?) and pecka may be allowed to POAS with express permission from us POAS nazis concerned ladies on this thread in a couple of days. How are you doing pecka? And worm - are you geared up for SWI? And yellow - do you think your biz trip definitely put the kybosh on it for you this month....?

Waves to all!

Morning, been awake for ages.

I feel bad, and scared, but got a faint bfp. Promptly burst into tears. Dh thinks I've totally lost it, because I'm meant to be happy. Well aware this will be bitter sweet for some of you.

Can't face breakfast, be back in a bit, sorry for me, me, me post x
