Just MC and ready to try again? Pack your leathers, black nail polish, air guitar and jump in the mosh pit for some serious metalling. All welcome! (Part 17)

[MarathonMama]

Hello! Just miscarried and ready to start again, come and join us...

Hugs whats, it so sucks - no matter what we do to try and distance ourselves from any more pain there seems to be these curve balls that come back and give us these horrible harsh reminders! :(

blue I can't imagine what it must be like having pregnant collegues, especially one that is due around the time you would have been. I would find that incredibly hard to to deal with, in fact I probably wouldn't be able to! :( My GP commented yesterday that I seemed 'very focused' on TTC and it would probably help if I just relaxed a bit more (which she said acupunture would help with, she couldn't comment on if it would help my short LP or not though). It's easier said than done though isn't it!

Manda my temp didn't dip below the coverline until today at CD9 WTF! So, my temp has stayed above the coverline from my last cycle, all through AF and up until today! Very Odd! Mind you it has been stifling warm at night, not sure if that's got anything to do with it or not

boob I am away to bake for a charity day at work on Monday. Well, everybody is baking fine pieces for folks to buy so I will no doubt pig out on everybody else's delights! :)

marathon so happy to hear the scan went well! xx

Dough is rising for home made pizza tonight :)

Waves to all! xx

marathon Woo hoo! I understand your caution, of course, but for now? Despite your symptoms including exhaustion, food adversion, random dizziness 'lack of symtoms' things are good! Did you get a piccie?

whatso Aw, that's a curve ball, for sure. Crying is absolutely a valid response. Now, perhaps tuck the stuff away as you will SURELY be needing it at some point Anyway, Ibiza beckons! Have a fab SWI-filled time

pie It's so very easy for someone who isn't obsessed ttc to say relax. Just saying 'relax' doesn't help it happen - how about your doctor prescribes something to make it so Or at least suggest things (like acupunture) or distractions that may help. Bah to impotent comments! (from quacks, not me... although quite how helpful I'm being I'm not sure! ) Also, home made pizza dough? The nearest I got to that was making a pizza on a big rectangular base of filo pastry. It's nicer than it sounds... I only did it once though. WHen my older two were little, if they had a friend over for tea I would buy the ready made pizza bases along with lots of toppings and then let them make their own. Like a fun activity and dinner all-in-one!

blue Where is our so that we can place ourselves in it? In all seriousness I just cling onto the hope it WILL all come right... I just lose grip on it sometimes.

So it's... ten past seven. Not even a hint of spotting yet. Oh, and I've been checking almost every hour. What the feck is going on with my damn body? Perhaps I'll wake up to af's overnight arrival. It can't be implantation, can it? It is just too precipitous of a drop over the last two days. And if af arrives tomorrow that will be exactly the same as last month. Jeeeez. Metal, much?

Marathon I am delighted! Have only just managed to get to the PC and check but have been wondering how you got on, in a slightly nervous way. Roll on the magic 12 weeks, eh! But so far so good, which is wonderful news!

Whatso your post made me fill up a bit. I hope a good cry has made you feel a bit better (as well as circumstances allow.) I think Manda's response was lovely and yes, you WILL be needing them in the not too distant future, you WILL YOU WILL!

Bluecrane I can kind of empathise with your up and down-ness. I have spent the day with my cousin and his very heavily pregnant girlfriend, and both sets of their parents. I haven't seen my aunt and uncle since I miscarried and they knew about the trip to hospital etc - both gave me a hug when they saw me, they don't so much normally, and I started to fill up a bit. Also, seeing my cousins girlfriend was a mixture - I am really excited for them (due date 29th August!) but it did also ram it home to me that we were no longer in the postion they are, and would not be for some time even in the best case scenario. When I had the serious wobbles after the BFP it was their enthusiasm which helped me a massive amount - they were really chuffed, there would have been only 4 months difference in age etc etc - and it hit me once again that now that will never happen. I loved the idea, especially as they are moving over to where we are, of the little one's hopefully growing up together and so on. Now, if we try again it will be at least 12 months from now and, realistically (what with potential cycle's being all over, plus DH not wanting to for various reasons) probably much longer.

Summerbird I hope I am not speaking too much out of turn when I say that your mum sounds like she is being thoroughly tact and thoughtless about everything. Am very sorry to hear it! Just because it 'was early' doesn't make it any less wanted or planned, does it! Honestly...

Am reading the thread on and off tonight. Too much happens on an almost hourly basis to comment / reply to everyone - it's ridiculous! Maybe I need to start taking notes!

dont worry baby my mother has 'form' for this. she grew up with a crap father and was divorced herself by 24yo so reckons we should all just 'get over things' - that is fair enough, i know she had a shit time when she was younger but that doesnt take away from what is happening now

marathon soooo glad your scan went well, i understand your caution but remember - you are pregnant today

whatso i know how you must have felt opening that parcel, did your neighbour say anything given that it was posted on the side of the parcel? anyway you enjoy ibiza and yes - pack those bottles away as you WILL need them (we bought some avent bottles in Feb when i was PG - then had the MC in March but we have packed them away - DH doesnt like to waste money!)

blue i too work with a lot of PG women - one of them is due the same day i was in October one day last week i seemed to bump into a PG woman every 5 mins (probably not but that is what it felt like!)

manda quit foraging in your fanjo and leave it alone FFS! the more you 'prod' about the more you will be messing with nature aaaanyway - i shall be checking when i can tomorrow for fanjo/AF updates!

waves to one and all - sorry for not name checking but have had two glasses of and a bit

i know there are some potential BFP's on the way so keeping everything crossed for you all!

ps-did anyone see JustineMumsnet on the news today they were celebrating 20 years of t'interweb and they were holding MN up as a huuuuge success story

which of course it is!

I have to say, I bloody love MN! I have never done the forum thing before as, and I realise this is pure snobbery, it almost always seems to be text speaking morons (Christ, that sounds bad!) and I do think MN attracts a better class of poster!

baby manda summer pie thank you so much. Not sure how I'd manage without being able to vent here.

DH is back from Japan now and I've had a good moan about BottleGate. As suggested by manda it has gone in a drawer in the kitchen for hopefully future use.

Off for a week now so looking forward to catching up when I get back. Hope to see some new BFPs and other good news!

A week? From my, admittedly limited, experience a LOT may have happened in a week!

See you soon xx

Ouch. (that is NOT my ET impression)

Af indeed arrived sometime whilst I was sleeping and was kind enough to bring cousin Pain with her. FFS.

Right, this month I'm trying high dose complex B vits too and if I still have a 9 day lp then I'll definitely harangue talk to the gp. I will take that list, please, Pie

baby you are thinking of netmums - they are all text speak morons and arent allowed to swear as they get told off by the teacher - oh but they are allowed to be homophobic, racist, daily mail reading numpties!

manda about AF - right then, pamper yourself today and have a bit of pate and blue cheese for good measure!

whatso have an amazing time - make the most of a relaxing holiday - not to mention getting trollied and see you when you get back

having a chilled out morning with DS and DH - we are all still in PJs

manda the list is on this thread, it's split across a couple of posts. My GP has agreed to do 2/3 of them, the others she didn't see the benefit of but i'm happy she has agreed to do the majority of them www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/1268915-1-year-of-trying-GP-appointment-Monday-what-to-ask/AllOnOnePage#26754130 (thanks fallfallarocks).

I'm now mentalling though that there might be some damage/scarring in my womb after my awful delivery with DS (long labour, vicious failed forceps then CS) which is stopping any eggs from implanting. Oh dear when I will stop!

There is 10mg of B6 in the conception vits i'm taking but I think you need 50mg for it to make a difference, i've read it should be in a B-Vitamin complex though so that you don't have too much of one B vitamin over another (IYSWIM) but I know Holland & Barratt do them. Sorry AF arrived - GAH GAH GAH!! She's such an evil cow isn't she!! Looks like another WTF cycle for me though as this time last month I had all the ov signs but none so far!

Ok, so totally off topic, but this thread has brought a smile to my face today!

Hey everyone. Feeling pretty poo today. Did a clear blue digital and got a bfn :0( was so sure, but suppose this is not my month. Also enjoyed the random thread pie . Keep 'em coming! I have spent so much on tests!!!

Boob Come to the Darkside - we have cookies IC's.

(IC's are internet cheapy test strips. You can get them from ebay or amazon and they are MUCH cheaper than store bought (even taking into consideration any bogof deals, even on own brand tests)

I've used these before - gave me a bfp with DS3 at 10dpo

pie This post from random thread, particularly, made me guaffaw:

"I did this a few times but the cream wouldn't remove every single scrap of hair, so I ended up with what looked like an old lady who had been through a nuclear winter."

hey all...thanks so much for your kind words yesterday, I managed to have a good chat with DH and just trying to take one day at a time. We managed SWI this morning and are now CD15 but will just have to wait and see what's happenning but will keep up the SWI when we can and am going to ignore the fact that I may be entering the 2ww and just keep it going as I have no idea how long my cycle will be (I used to Ov on CD25!!)

manada so sorry to hear AF has made a such a rude and painful appearance! Hands over nicely filled hot water bottle and large bar of galaxy chocolate!

whatso you probably won't see this in time now but I also got the very same parcel from Avent yesterday and as much as I fill in unsubscribe on one of the babycentre places they keep emailing me each week telling me how many weeks I am!! These places should have an easy unsubscribe section as I really don't want a weekly reminder of where I'm not up to!! Have a fantastic time in Ibiza!!

boobez sorry to hear about bfn but it's not over 'til the aunt arrives. For a number of us it took over 6 weekd for AF to come for the first time after MC so hang in there!! There's plenty of space in the padded heavy metalling room...come join us!

Waves to everyone else...apologies for lack of individual replies...will be back later but must get my assignments finished - need to post them tomorrow!!

Thanks manda and blue and good advice about getting some IC tests. May need to order some. In the mean time, think I will join you in the padded room for some heavy moshing. I can feel an air guitar solo coming on....!

boobeez IC's keep me sane means I can POAS whenever I feel like it even the day after I thought AF had finished I also got my first hint of a bfp on my IC's last time!

afternoon all

Happy sunday to one and all. Back to work tomorrow :-( and I have to work 4 yes 4 days this week!!!

Marathon - so pleased the scan went well. Keep everything crossed for you for the next 30 weeks.

Whatso - guessing I have missed you but hope you have agreat holiday relax and enjoy yourself. Sorry to hear about the parcel. Does it ever stop being so upsetting - have aunt due 2 days before me and have had to keep looking at facebook updates and pictures of bumps - anyone know how to block it without upsetting her?

Summer glad you made the most of your day off. We got lots done last week. Week off 15th but planning to relax abit that week for a change.

Pie - good to hear your GP was helpful.

Blue - hope you are ok. These things are sent to try us. Hang on in there.

Manda - sorry to hear Af arrived this month will be our month :-)

Anyone heard anything from Cuttle?? Hope she is ok.

Had quiet weekend for a change - next free weekend is in october!!!! with one thing and another. Have check ovulation chart - although I don't know how long my LP is i have guessed and we have to dtd Thurs,fri,sat,sun,mon. DP can't wait although told him to focus on quality not qunatity.

We shall see what happens in 3 weeks time. Feel sick at the thought of it all really. Don't know if I can handle the dissappointment.

eve WRT the FB updates - all you do is go to the end of her updates on your home screen (sort of hover over the right hand side) and you will see a cross - click on that and it will ask you if you want to block this person - she will never know - and to get her back you go to the bottom of the screen and i think it says 'edit options' and you will get a list of people you have blocked - you just reinstate her then.

blue how for you to keep getting those bloody babycentre updates it should really be so easy to unsubscribe - it must be so common for this to happen (sadly)

will do a full catch up tomorrow when-i-am-at-work but have a good night ladies and huge waves to everyone

Happy Monday all...rather quiet on here today! CD16 here still no signs of Ov but hoping we can get some SWI in this week just in case. Had an invitation to a wedding in New York in November come through yesterday! Just trying to see if we can afford to go and afford all the shopping I'll want to do when we're there! so think that might have to be my early 5th wedding anniversary treat ( very early since 5th anniversary not til Sept 12!!)

On another note my assignment is finished!! Course all done now?just need to wait for the marks and my certificate so I can collapse with a large tonight to celebrate! As you can tell I?m feeling a bit better today?think I was overtired at the weekend and stressed out with my studies but having finished my assignment and the possibility of a trip to NY I?m feeling a bit more

boobeez how?s the testing/full on metalling going?

missg and manda hope AF is treating you well and not too heavy and painful or overstaying her welcome!

marathon huge again at your scan on Saturday!! IQ how are you doing?how long til your next scan? And cuttle hope all ok?

pie my DH keeps saying we need to just relax but it?s v v hard! Hope the acupuncture goes well tonight!

baby sorry to hear about the situ with your cousin?my SIL is due 6 weeks before I would?ve been so similar although they live a bit further away. How is your DH doing re. TTC? Still wobbling or just v focused on the DIY?

summer glad you seem to have had a relaxed weekend? hopefully some SWI can commence again soon for you!

eve hope your first day back at work is ok?there?ll be lots of us to metal together when you get to the 2ww?enjoy all the planned SWI!!

I'll have a piece, please! Thanks! Lurve shortbread!

As you asked, DH did actually say, well I did ask him, if he wanted to and he said yes but wants to sort out our cash / house situation a bit first. Progess of a kind, I guess but he still seems to think that once we decided to TTC we'd have a baby in the house 40 weeks later (which is still a while, even if we were lucky first time!)

Am knee deep in Fimo today (I make wedding figurines to go on, or next to, cakes which are mini replicas of the bride and groom.) I am off to a wedding the weekend after next and did discuss with the bride to be about making their figurine as a pressie. I since had asked for the required details and had no response whatsoever which I am quite irritated with really (esp as she is in FB all the time, which is where I sent my original messages to.) However, not sure what else to take as a pressie due to our current financial situation so managed to track down her sister who then sent VERY scant details of dress. The groom is a fireman so am doing to do him in uniform - it's been very fiddly with all the flourescent strips!

Right, better get him out the oven. Back later on and off.

Hi all!

ps congrats on finishing your coursework! Hope the wine was lovely!

baby my friends had that on their wedding cake recently! Wonder if it was you! They looked AMAZING! :) The groom would have been in a kilt! :)
