Tits , sorry to hear about your mum, i hope the anniversary passed ok.

Marbles good luck if you test today. Tesco finest, eh? Would be hoping the box contains a velevet pouch to keep said test in or some such luxury. I really hope it is good news :)

Hi Ted, sorry you find yourself here. I've just entered the tww and i'm not sure i've got the self restraint to stay away from tests till I should. Fingers crossed this will be both our months.

Pebs Oh god yes the 'another year older thing' is a real killer. My birthday always seems to coincide with some bloody article in the newspapers saying you should ideally be about 15 to get pregnant easily as any age after that is ancient .

When we started talking about a baby two years ago we did so in a spirit of, well we'd better get started as we don't want to leave it another couple of years when it may get harder, and yep here we are...

I've just finished my SWI did CD 7,9,10,12,13,14,16,18, so not too shabby considering how knackered we both are (more so now, obviously!) so there is a chance this month....metalling already.

Pregnant ladies....is it wrong that i'm really enjoying reading about your lack of sleep, feeling dreadful etc. Sorry, i'm not completely awful, I do feel for you, but does it help you at all to know that you are giving an unduffed lady hope for the future..... :)

pebspop · 10/04/2012 11:20

just realised my erpc was on 23rd march not 16th so still spotting isn't actually as bad as i thought earlier!

mrsnesbit · 10/04/2012 11:28

Hey tits, looks like its me & you going for a "reveal all" scan tomorrow. Im in at 9.40...you?
It cant come soon enough for me, this not knowing is just torture.
From lmp is 8+3 today, from conception its 6+3, im going with the 6 week date tbh.

Good luck tits, i will be thinking about you x

JaffaSnaffle · 10/04/2012 11:40

Good luck to all those with scans coming up.

tits and other constipation suffers, I have had some success with eating a diet of lots of grapes and porridge. Porridgein particular seems to have got a few things going.

Still metalling like a loon though.

sunshinesue · 10/04/2012 12:03

I didn't know porridge was good for constipation. I've been eating it anyway and was wondering why I can actually poo this pregnancy (unlike the other two), must be it.

pebs I think my spotting lasted about 18 ish days after ERPC and I think it stopped quite suddenly after me thinking it was never going to end. If it goes on much longer though it may be worth a trip to the DRs just in case.

Not much metalling from me today (no spotting so far!) but still checking and rechecking the calendar to see if I've made any mistakes and can somehow move the pregnancy on a few days (I can't). I'm trying to see the next couple of weeks as an extension of the 2ww and I may or may not be pregnant at the end of it, sometimes it works and sometimes I'm a mess!

sunshinesue · 10/04/2012 12:24

spoke too sodding soon. Start of AF type bleeding now, actually more bleeding than I had with either of my previous mc so i guess this is it Sad. At least I didn't have to wait until 9 weeks plus this time around.

WhyAlwaysBoris · 10/04/2012 13:04

Oh Sunshine, i'm so sorry

JaffaSnaffle · 10/04/2012 13:12

Sunshine, that is very sad news. Sending you a big hug.

TitsalinaBumSquash · 10/04/2012 13:21

Oh Sunshine, I am sorry :(

I was doing ever so well with my plans today I did the post office, the shopping, the other million errands I had to do, was just finishing cleaning the car then glanced over and realised my car hasn't been taxed for the past week! To make matters worse, we have jut moved, I cannot find my log book and I hadn't changed the address. Now I have to get DP to drive me to the dvla office tomorrow which is an hour away to sort it. Bloody idiot is what I am.

My scan is at 10am tomorrow, not looking forward to it, would really just like it to be done and dusted.

Constipation has settled down a bit now thankfully.

MarthasHarbour · 10/04/2012 13:27

Oh sunshine i am so sorry, this is all just so fecking crap isnt it? give yourself lots of TLC, do not go to work and make sure you put your feet up. Sad

Sorry i have been awol this weekend but have not been up to even thinking about TTC and feeling a bit blue about it. But i am here and lurking

Moominsarescary · 10/04/2012 13:40

Oh yes the getting older, I will be 34 next week and was hoping to have finished ttc, swi and all the metalling by now.

tits sorry to hear about your mum, we've just had the 17th anniversary of my dads death. I can't believe how long it's been.

pebs hope your feeling ok x

mrsn and tits good luck with the scan

Jaffa I'd never heard of porridge for constipation, will be trying it as seem to be suffering alot lately even without being pg.

sunshine I'm realy sorry x

Well we've decided to go for the not thinking about it ttc this month, I have even blocked out my head when af is due but think my cycle is the same as boris so must be on the tww now.

I've had no stick up bum ovulation pain this month so I'm worrying ovulation hasn't happened.

So Im being a bit stupid but I'm worried about conceiving a feb baby, I was due feb this year and feb last year but lost both baby's and have developed some odd paranoia about feb. Come tell me I'm being mad!

JaffaSnaffle · 10/04/2012 14:26

I googled porridge and constipation and it brought up a mixed response. It has helped me a lot, but looks like for some it might cause constipation, which is the last thing anyone needs! My porridge is very rough and fibrous, with lots of milk and water, not smooth, so perhaps this is the key...

leedy · 10/04/2012 14:56

sunshine, so sorry to hear that.

Good luck to the scan people! And boris, for your reassurance I feel like slightly warmed-up shite today.

Totally hear you on the getting a year older, if the m/c hadn't happened I'd be having a baby at 39, now I'm (hopefully) having one at 40 which in my head is all kinds of OLDER HIGH RISK PARENT despite being only a few months later.

NoMoreMarbles · 10/04/2012 15:04

sunshineSad so sorry you have started to bleed. i hope you are ok (as well as can be expected of courseSad)

sunshinesue · 10/04/2012 15:08

Thanks for the thoughts everyone. Sorry to join the thread and bring it down in such a short space of time Blush. Hopefully I've taken all the bad luck though and the rest of you will have healthy babies very soon!

Not sure I've got it in me to try again but am certainly going to have a holiday somewhere hot and sunny whilst I think about it.

Best of luck everyone x

NoMoreMarbles · 10/04/2012 15:20

hope everybody is having a nice tuesdaySmile

mine has been productiveSmile

i have been working my way through the mountain of washing that has been slowly accumulating whilst i have been working and now i have no excuse what with being on gardening leave and allSmile i now have alot of washing clean and ready to be put awayHmm and spending time with DD has been lovely too, though tiringSmile

BFN yesterday on a cheapie so DH is going to pick up a 'proper' test later for tomorrow morning if AF doesnt make an appearance before then...TBH i dont think im pregnant but if i am...i would be 5+3 today...i need to know either way so i can get onto my consultant to get the ball rolling...

mrsN good to see youSmile how are you feeling today?

good luck to all those with scans loomingSmile and for everyone on the tableSmile

MandaHugNKiss · 10/04/2012 15:53

Good luck vibes to those with scans coming up, so sorry sunshine that your news isn't happier.

marff

pebspop · 10/04/2012 16:09

sunshine

i think you are in a similar position to me. i have had three mc's and no children yet Sad.

are you going to get testing?

how old are you? i am 32 and although i know i am not over the hill the biological clock is ticking loudly in my ears! i will be at least 33 if i get lucky next time which is really frustrating for me.

MarthasHarbour · 10/04/2012 16:15

manda

i will be 40 in January so if i get PG this month i will be skirting with a bubba in the last stretch of the 30s! Grin

OP posts:
leedy · 10/04/2012 16:28

Ha, I will be 40 in August, I am even more geriatric.

sunshinesue · 10/04/2012 16:42

hey pebs. Yep very similar, 3mc no children yet. I'm 31 but not for too long....

I've already got a dr's appointment booked for Sat (was to be about the pregnancy but it will be about mc now) so I'll see what they have to say. Have you been referred for any?

The only positive I can take from this is at least it's taking me less time to get pregnant, 7 months initially, 5 months second time round and just 2 this time. We must be getting better at sex! (actually I put it down to clear blue digi ov sticks and pregnacare conception if that helps anyone).

I'm already revising my thoughts of giving up so will probably be swi again soon....

Feel ok but am all over the shop, think I need to go and lie down in a dark room and calm the f down (I'm at work at the mo but counting the minutes until I leave).

pebspop · 10/04/2012 16:53

i had some testing after my 2nd mc and found blood clots in my placenta. i was supposed to take aspirin and heparin injections to thin my blood in the next pg but i mc'd early and didn't get chance to try the treatment. my third pg was identical twins so i am hoping that was just 'one of those things' and next time the blood thining stuff will work for me.

Midgetm · 10/04/2012 19:36

Evening all, something awful happened and this thread dropped off my recents and I couldn't bloody find you. Cue deep metalling panic at the very thought!

So sorry Sunshine sending you a big hug.

Mumtum a thousand congratulations on your wedded bliss.

martha I so recognise the too blue to Ttc, along with the too scared, too grumpy, too pessimistic. It will fade but it fees so bad does t is? It's just so counter intelligent but happens to us all who have been round the conception block. Big licks for you x

mrsn knowledge is power, here's hoping its positive knowledge. Got everything crossed for you x

And here's hoping tesco finest pays off x

Tomorrow seems a popular day for a scan. My NT is tomorrow and I couldn't sleep at all last night. Voice in my head keeps telling me something will be very wrong. I can't just let myself relax that this may be different. Old habits die hard. It's that while being normal again, just don't feel I belong in normal antenatal care. At least the metalling has not taken me by surprise this time I am ready for it, I can beat it back down. Thank god scan first thing so not long to go. Hope I will chill out a bit and relax into the pregnancy. What's the chances old timers?

Best go so sorry not to catch up properly, just marking my space like a dog peeing on a tree so I don't loose you all again. X

kirrinIsland · 10/04/2012 20:47

sunshine so sorry :(

mrsN and tits good luck tomorrow.

kirrinIsland · 10/04/2012 20:51

Sorry midget hadn't refreshed my screen before I posted - good luck for your scan too.
