And this will be a very special thread, it is the one where our first 'graduate' gives us our first bambino Go on IQ give us a twirl if-you can be arsed in your full term state

Im not 100% of my dates as since the mmc af ranged from 28-35 days apart. But i got the bfp friday, lmp started 9/3/12 so could be 6wks max.

I have a 4.9yo ds and 3.5yo dd.

dp reminded me that i said the chicken at dinner smelt odd, really odd made me feel queer but no one else could smell it, and now i feel a bit queasy, thats got to be good, id happily spend the day with my head down the toilet right now!

hello Stateofconfusion, i'm sorry for your mc and congratulations on your BPF. The cake you made for your sister sounds seriously lovely :)

Sorry to all the AF-ers, welcome to state and cake, hang in there to manda and blue not long now! Congratulations on the baby girl poppy!

I think the problem with the metalling is that you'll metal whatever happens. Metal if there are symptoms, metal if there aren't, metal if it's the same as last time and metal if it's different! I've metalled my way through three pregnancies because I was unlucky enough to lose my first at 14 weeks (and my third at 17 but I have my DD )

I had a doppler I rented off ebay for mini-toe (baby three) and it was when I couldn't find his heartbeat I decided to go into hospital, it's the only time I didn't find it and he had indeed died - I chose not to use one this time, which wasn't an easy decision but I feel safe in the first 12 weeks, and after that it's not too long until regular movement I suppose. I think I would have gotten addicted to it as I've metalled big style this time round.

I'm now well into regular movement and it does make me feel a lot better.

I'm 20 weeks every body. Count them Twen-ty Halfway! It's a nice milestone on the way to the 24 week one I really want. And a bit of distraction from my current metalling that something will be wrong with the baby at the 20 week scan which is still a way away...with a quick dildocam in between.

Apologies if the answer to this is somewhere on the thread but it's so looong.....so I'm hoping someone will have some advice please.

I had a mmc in Feb and ERPC on17th Feb. Tested negative on 20th March. Since then have had 1 light period followed 2 weeks later by a more normal one. Going by my 'old' cycle of 26 days I was due on yesterday. I've done a few tests and had 2 very faint lines on Tesco's own tests yesterday and this morning and neg on a cheapy Home Bargains dip test one this afternoon.

Is there any way these faint lines could be left over hormones from the last pregnancy, which ended 9 weeks ago? I've tried looking but all info on testing positive after mmc seems to be about being clear 6 weeks later at the latest. I'm starting to wonder if the negative in March would've been still positive if I'd used a different brand of test....Whaddaythink??

Thank you in advance

I think it is highly unlikely to be left over from your miscarriage (that's just my opinion) I can understand why you are thinking that, it's almost a way of protecting yourself. It sounds to me like a new pregnancy but to be sure why don't you get a first response test tomorrow (very sensitive) and test again.

Fingers crossed I'm right x

I think what you have is a positive test. Go buy One that says pregnant not pregnant so you can believe it. Sounds like a positive to me.

welcome stateofconfusion. You're in good company here

Congrats on twenty weeks missc

Sounds like a new pregnancy to me dorita tentative congratulations. let us know how you get on.

Evening everyone,

I'm a little calmer now, thank you, your all lovely! Just wish dp would be a bit more understanding instead of shrugging shoulders and seeming unphased!

Dorita I can totally understand the thoughts your having if it hadn't been for a BFN last month I would be thinking the same now. I agree with pp who have said get a first response, although for me tescos own are most sensitive! And test first urine of the day. Fingers crossed x

Morning ladies!

State keeping my fingers crossed you get a very definate BFP today!

Looking forward to getting there myself, but not looking forward to the constant worry and mentalling.

Latest from tales of the CBF Monitor - after 9 days of 'high' fertility readings and no peak we are back to 'low'. So that's the end of my so called super fertile cycle after mc. Its possible that I may have ovulated and the monitor hasn't picked it up but I doubt it. The long two week wait now....... Thing is, not being pregnant has almost as much mentalling worrying about my fertility.....

Anyway. Monday morning and new shiny week awaits!

To not ovulate in your wtf is actually pretty normal - or, as you say, it's possible the monitor just missed it because your hormmones will be far from your 'usual' in wtf. And, I know it's a worry, but it's another one of our irrational worries in this club - you haven't suddenly lost the ability to become pregnant! You WILL get pregnant again! You just need to give your body (and your mind) a bit of a chance to get over what it has gone through. Be kind to yourself!

Things will probably return closer to normal for you in your next cycle - and maybe not. Mine took five months to get straight (I was ovulating late, and then my LP was short). But as soon as it sorted itself out I fell pregnant that month.

Oh, and finally... just because you've returned to low, doesn't mean to say your body won't try and give it another go if you haven't actually ovulated. So bear that in mind.

I do apologise to those of you wanting to be a bit healthy with your brekkie - I suppose you could just take the fruit intended for the waffles and, oh, ok, there. How could you even eat those? Muffins should be moist and sweet.

I have a sweet tooth this morning. In case you hadn't noticed! That'll teach me to miss dinner.

Morning all,

all I have is shreddies anyone, thought not?

Well I dreamt I had a bleed so now I complately paranoid! This doesn't mean something bad will happen does it, its just my mind is still so full of the mmc, well I really hope

Forgot to say MissC get you 20 weeks. Let's fast forward then next few eh? Congratulations, 20 is a handsome number.

Stateofconfusion this dream means you are metalling. It does not mean it will happen. And breathe. X

Welcome to state and dorita
sounds promising dorita Do a clear blue digital one to confirm but I'd say congratulations are in order :)

I've been metalling all weekend :( I'm 11+2 and my symptoms have all but disappeared. My bump such as it is has also been a bit achy though probably nothing a good dose of lactulose wouldn't sort out so I've given in and rung the EPU who have very nicely offered me a scan this morning I love my EPU
could you all cross your fingers and toes for me please?

try not to give any thought to the dream stateofconfusion, my metalling continues in my sleep too. It's natural for your daytime worries to occupy your thoughts when you're asleep too.

fingers, toes and eyes crossed for you kirrin. I'm sure you already know but symptoms are supposed to ease off at around 10-12 weeks. I also heard that symptoms can be worse depending on how much liquid you've had to drink. Have you been guzzling water all weekend? Glad your EPU is on the ball now put your feet up if poss and try not to metal too much (easier said than done I know).

Kirrin got everything crossed except legs as would wet myself with all this constant peeing. Symptoms lessening normal so try to relax and let us know how you get on x

kirrin everything crossed for you. Your epu sound fab!

thanks midge and sun, in the trend of doing everything differently i rang the midwife this morning and booked myself in, usually I've waited until 8wks (last time more 10 due to problems at home) I'm off to collect paper work shortly, and they're visiting me on the 4th, i really hope they offer me an early scan, can i ask for one?

Part of me is buzzing and desperatly wants to organise life in my head, the other half is holding myself together saying do not concentrate on this yet!

We've just been given bunk beds which ds will have for now, dp said gleefully that saves some money once the babys out of the toddler bed we have these ready for dd or ds room, he's so relaxed! But then thats probably a good thing!

I really fancy an english muffin with egg and bacon, too early to say the baby wants it?

Hope your scan goes well Kirrin, fingers and toes crossed here also

StateOC they may or may not be happy to give you an early scan. I've found it depends on who you speak too. Don't be afraid to ask though I wouldn't have thought they'd be likely to offer.

In the spirit of doing things differently I've bought a pram and car seat . I bought nothing at all for either of my previous pregnancies. I wouldn't usually dream of buying such a big purchase so early but it was a massive bargain (pram reduced from £400 to £65, car seat £15 both brand new). If it all goes tits again I'll ebay them and put the money towards a holiday.

Thanks everyone - everything looked fine, nice heartbeat and lots of wriggling :)

brilliant news kirrin!

Lovely, kirrin - Yay! And good choice on snubbing the bran muffins... I just did it for those wanting to be all healthy, or The Constipators.

sue Where'd you get bargains like that? I want to peruse their site/shop!

hey everyone. not sure why but this thread has fallen off my 'i'm on list' must not have posted for a while.

i went to hopsital on thursday for a scan to find out if anything had been left after erpc. luckily all was clear but they did a hcg test anyway and a blood test for iron levels as i had been bleeding everyday for over two months. they were supposed to ring me on friday with the results but they didn't, will give them until 5 today and ring myself.

i have got acupuncture on thursday so hopefully that will be able to kick start my cycles and sort out my hormone levels.

i might test again at weekend to check for bfn i havn't bothered since thursday.

i have my consultant appointment next week as well so i will see what they have to say. i am sure they will just tell me to try again.

will start trying after i have seen the private consultant.

fantastic news kirrin thats really cheered me up

how far along are you sue and what shop/site

That's great news kirrin, glad to hear it.

It's good that they're taking you seriously pebs, even if they are being useless at letting you know.

Question - if I wanted to change the hospital I'm supposed to have my maternity care at, how would I go about it? Anyone know? I'm seeing the RMC at a hospital locally which is generally considered to be not-great but I've been really happy with my care there, whereas the 'better' hospital has generally been useless, no joined up care, I'm supposed to be 'high risk' but heard nothing from my consultant - and I got my appointment for my booking in this morning, and it's not till I'm 13 weeks .

I've also lost all motivation for work. If they knew how little I'm doing at the moment, I'd be fired. Terrible employee. Oh well.
