The 6th form post mc ttc and pregnancy common room Part 2

[brokenbarrenbrook]

Getting us started on a new thread; this one is gonna be a lucky one!

Thanks mummy I did take it orally this time but the previous 'goes' have always been vaginally. This was my 5th lot I think.

I'm certain I won't have ovulated yet as I had 5 weeks with the hcg still high then the op then a week went by, I had the massive bleed and the mysoprostin and here I am 2 weeks later. My hcg was down to 5 last time they checked though so hopefully my body will remember what it has to do!

Pleased to hear you're feeling a little less sick

battery I just wanted to say I hope your temps are wrong and af stays away.

Ooh crossed posts

I'm waiting to hear about school places too

are you mouse? When do you find out? Ours is 11th April.

hello everyone. Have baked and gardened all day - trying to ignore AF pains - but she is here. Rubbish and crap. Never mind, I have booked flights for 2 weeks, and don't feel as bad as I did last month. I have made a banofee cheescake and chocolate and lime cake too :) Also have some wine if the fridge waiting for dp to come home xx

mouse when I had retained products I was put on progesterone for 10 days, then I had a proper period which cleared me out. Good luck witht the reflexology - mine always reassures me that my womb is nice and springy and feels healthy.

izzy was hoping to join you this month but maybe next xx

mummy - sounds like your domestic situation is a bit of a nightmare. Try not to stress too much, no one ever died of having an untidy house. Some things will just have to wait!!

Hope everyone has a good weekend lined up xx

The 1st of April yrmotb I think we should be ok but we've been warned there are lots of siblings...

Sorry she got you battery I take it another trip to germany beckons? Is your DP in the army over there?

I looked into NK cells today and the nearest clinic to me would be CARE in nottingham. I tried to find a rough price but the closest I got was £480 in 2008. Think I'll skip it for a while but maybe start saving a little.

I hope I like the reflexology too izzy I feel quite positive about it

mousebacon at least you know it's there as an option. Although, and this is an awful thing to have to advise, if you have the horrible misfortune to have a third mc I would recommend having that test to rule it out. I don't regret getting pregnant a fourth time - but I could have probably saved myself a lot of heartache if we'd gone to Dr S straight after the 3rd mc rather than waiting weeks and weeks for the NHS to test me and find nothing.

battery sorry it's CD1 again. But sounds like you've been enjoying yourself as much as possible. Baking and gardening are my favourite ways to relax too! Unfortunately it looks like I'm back to the low GI diet again so will have to find some healthier things to bake rather than cake.

Took DS to the park for the third day in a row, it's been so lovely this week. Beginning to wish I was a SAHM, not looking forward to going back to work next week even though I like my job.

AF due tomorrow or Monday. Just done test, bfn. Took temps and they're down a bit. Dont want to be on cycle 8. Is this ever going to work for me? Why can't I be one of the ones who gets pregnant at the drop of a hat? Sad and annoyed at my body.

((((hugs)))) YRM we are cycle 8 buddies Its shit but as (I think) IZZY said -the numbers are in our favour with the laws of probability and all that ..... and at the end of the day af isn't here so its not over yet!

Dr Loola prescribes lots of wine,hugs,chocolate & a chickflick xxx

Sorry you are feeling sad yrmotb (((Big hugs))) and to you too battery

How is everyone else?

Morning from D&V towers.

Sorry to hear it's a bit low here, special squeeze for babe, batterychook and wiggle, and anyone else who needs it.

Empathise wildly with the chore of scheduling and mustering enthusiasm for SWI. We've all been so ill the last few days that this month looks very unlikely to be successful. Am CD14 today, and think I have probably already ov. Just as well as have so much stinky bedding and stuff to sterilise and wash today it's hardly going to put me in the mood for any more SWI...

Good to hear you sounding chipper digi. Hope return to work goes ok.

Wave to all - better start the laundry marathon.

Big huge squishy hugs for everyone including Loola, babes, jolls and battery xxxx

Morning all. Sorry everyone is feeling down today. It feels relentless at times this whole ttc malarky. It's so hard trying to maintain enthusiasm and remain optimistic that that elusive BFP is just around the corner.

CD12 here (usually ov on 13/14) and DH and I are barely talking to one another. The cp seems to have driven another wedge between us which is what happened last time. I feel like I can't even talk about it with him and it's months before the swi gets back on track and it feels like he's on my side again. How can I win him around?! (preferably before this evening!) The though of missing the boat altogether this month just doesn't seem bearable.

On the positive side, the clinic called at 3pm yesterday and left a vm to say that immune results are back already (2-3 weeks ended up being just 8 days). Unfortunately I spent an hour trying to chase them before they went home and when I finally got through they picked up the phone and then put it down again. I called back straight away and the vm kicked in "The clinic is now closed.." Aargh So I'm hanging out in limbo land again this weekend.

Also, bumped into a girl in the park yesterday and I'm pretty sure the last time I saw her I told her (foolishly) that I was 7 weeks pg. I mc'd that weekend. So there she was with a 9 day old newborn (arrived the day before my dd) which means that she must've been roughly 7 weeks pg at the same time too. I could tell she was confused, trying to work out where either the bump/baby was but she didn't say anything. I know I do it myself but I'm starting to get really annoyed with people glancing at my midriff when they think I'm not looking trying to work out if there's any sign of a bump.

So just when I thought I'd got through the winter and all the pgs/ births that I knew about I've realised that the spring/summer is going to mean that all the people who've been hiding away during the winter months are now going to be hanging around the park showing off their new offspring/ bumps and there will be no way of avoiding them.

Sorry for the rant. I just know that there is an egg waiting to hatch and absolutely no welcome party waiting for it whatsoever

Extra squeezes, and chocolates all round today. I think we're all in need of them. Will be back in a more chipper mood later, I hope x

Firstly I would like to make 2 apologies, one for the me me me post coming up and two for the fact I am copying and pasting from another thread!

I am and about what the hell my body is doing. Had AF type pains today (only cd15) just been to the toilet and am bleeding again! A bit like what I had last month for the week before AF came, this is much much earlier in the cycle though Been POAS (ovulation) for the past 4 days and they have all been a faint line so negative so I presume it isn't ovulation bleeding either. Grrrr I feel so uneasy about this month, I think I may aswell wipe this month of the TTC map as my body appears to be totally fucked up Why would this be happening 7 months after my MMC???!

Great big huge bear hugs for yrmotb loola battery jolls wiggle and Chloe. Sorry you're feeling down. The whole ttc thing just is rubbish, even more so when - like, I think, all of us - it doesn't happen easily. Anyway extra hugs for those that af has got - for all others, remember cycle 8 was lucky for me, every month the odds are more stacked in your favour and it just might happen. To everyone struggling with the scheduled swi, I know that feeling and hated it...I so hope it happens for you all soon.

I have name stickers on the most comfy beanbags in the freak out room where I just know you will all be coming before long. More big (((hugs))) xx

mouse best of luck for school places on 1 April, I remember well how nerve-wracking it is. Please try not to stress too much - I'll repeat what I told babe ; things will work out in the end. Ds only got a late offer to our first choice school off the waiting list; he was the third out of four children to get a place from the waiting list for a really over-subscribed one form entry school, so even if you don't get what you want straight off, stay on the lists because there's more movement than you expect.

Having said that, Dd unfortunately didn't get into ds's school and was a scary 13th on the waiting list. There was no way half the class would drop out, so we took her allocated place (actually our third choice school) and moved ds. Very stressful at the time and not at all what we planned, but we all love their new school now and they're both doing really well. So if things go really badly wrong, still don't panic because it does tend to work itself out in the end

AF has arrived :( so it must have just been a chemical pg, hence faintness of lines.

Sorry for brief post, don't feel like talking much. And cramps are horrid.
Boo hiss xx

Arsicles Zammy :(

oh no zam so sorry.

Chloe I think a mid cycle bleed two cycles in a row warrants a scan to check all is ok. Feel for you not knowing where the hell in your cycle you are (especially as I'm in the WTF cycle).

wiggle how frustrating. (on both counts). I also get the 'is she pregnant yet/again?' glance from everyone. Most friends know I've had miscarriages, not everyone knows how many but I think it stops people from asking just in case I was recently but aren't anymore.

Hope you've tackled the laundry mountain jolls and I do hope it's not you/dh that's suffering from d&v and attempting to swi through it...

We haven't had sex since a week before my last bfp. Sometime in January. Have completely stopped spotting since erpc and think libido is stirring, but dh hasn't initiated so I guess he's not ready. It would only be sff anyway as we're sitting the WTF cycle out.

Oh no zam sorry to hear that

Hugs Zam. CPs suck, I had the same last week. It's like Mother Nature dangling a carrot in front of your nose. On the positive side though, it's quite reassuring to know that the sperm and egg are actually meeting, albeit briefly. I hope you get a burrowing, sticky one next month.

zam sorry to hear that, look after yourself.

Quick post whilst dp is making

zam so sorry :( I feel awful as I moved you on the list to bfp. Cps are awful - fairly certain I had one in december. Mother nature is very cruel.

I am on cd2 - and am actually ok about it.This is the first proper full on red blood (tmi) period I have had since my erpc in October. I really feel acupunture and relexology have helped this but who knows?

I will check in properly tomorrow - but big hugs for everyone who needs them xxx

Oh zam I am so sorry Hope you are getting lots of support and TLC from home at the moment.

Ooh izzy I love guinea pigs, their little leathery ears are just gorgeous! Have fun listening to them chat away today.

battery glad to hear you sounding so positive, I hope this is a lucky cycle for you.

Waves to everyone else, sorry can't name check everyone if dh catches me on here he will go mad - we had a big 'discussion' about the whole TTC thing and it taking over my life last night after I had a bit of a mini breakdown and locked myself in the bathroom

On a positive note I only have a slight amount of brown cm on wiping today so I don't think AF has arrived which is what I was concerned about last night. It shouldn't do as I am only on CD16 but all the signs were there, cramps, bleeding etc. I am half wondering if it might have been ovulation but the pees sticks were negative and if it was then I fear I missed the boat as the last time we dtd was thurs night and I am not conviced dh has strong swimmers - the consultant said they were abundant and I think the word he used was 'excitable' but did not have much stamina and slowed towards the end Will dtd later this eve though just in case although the pee sticks are a def no today, hardly a hint of a line, hey ho.

Gosh it is quiet in here ...have you all gone out on some lovely picnic and not invited me?

zam if you are reading, hope you are feeling as kas you can be xx

wiggle how are you doing now? You are right about cp's I tried to think well at least it shows my eggs and sperm are meeting. I also know about the tummy looks too. I have one friend who knows I am TTC, and EVERY time I go and see dp - she always asks 'do you think yiou got pregnant this time' I had to tell her off last time and stop asking me!How are you going with your dh now?

digi RE the sexthing, the first time we had sex for fun after the mc, I was really tense. I expect you will know when the time is rihgt xx

mouse hope you are ok too, yes DP is in the army, but comes home for good in june - I can not wait. I will move down south to be with him, but so much depends on if I am pregnant or not....jobs and mat leave etc.

chloe some ov stickes don't work for some - maybe your slight bleed was OV or better still implantation ?? xx

jolls is your household feeling any better now? Its grim when everyone is feeling poo.

izzy I hope there are a lot of bean bags over there, I feel a stampede coming soon when we all get our bfps!

babe are you feeling ok lovely? Any news at all? Cycle 8 does seem to be luck for some - magic8 ball fell in cycle 8 I think had had 2 lovely girls :) But I do hope you come and tell us that you have a lovely bfp of course xx

loola hope cycle 8 is good for you too :)

Hello to everyone else - i know I always miss some:)

I have a nice evening of the dvd ' the girl with a dragon tattoo' a take away and cuddled up to dp. Having dp home on a sunday is a rare treat :) xx

Sorry about the typos I went to press preview and pressed post instead
