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

And my cat scavenges from dustbins.

Sleepy hello from blue-land...

pebs thinking of you today - so glad the consultant has agreed to testing.

IQ hope all is well...exciting stuff!!!

I am SO glad it's friday and soon soon this work deadline will be done (next weds) and is hopefully my last one before I go on mat leave so I can start to wind down a bit after that which will be nice...right...must get back to it! Sorry for not managing a full name-check...

Tits still imagining the sight of your cat mid flap with pork joint in it's gob...

hi everyone

sorry for the absence

i still havent had time to catch up with the thread but have read todays posts...

IQ YAY for babyQ on the way!! looking forward to your update!!

hope everyone is well

tits at your cat and the pork! my cat is so fussy and refuses to go out (much happier sleeping on my bed) so no chance of any free meat here

tits is too busy to reply, she is wondering round the neighbourhood looking for the missing pork owners, maybe in her dressing gown and slippers.

there was a mum putting her DD into school this morning in a dressing gown and ugg slippers...didnt see a pork join though

Hi All
Budge up make space for me please Luvvies to sqeese on the sofa- sorry i missed breakie this morning was on schl run

I had an early MC this monday ( iwas only 4 weeks along) but i really want to move on and am alreadly thinkng would luv to try again

When can you try again how soon after MC?
Ive read waiting until 2 weeks? or for first period? Or even straigt away Ive got a hospital scan next week to check all is clear, i suppose i must wait til after that?

champas im so sorry you have had a MC for this early a Mc you can try straight away (i always do) and things may be a little odd in this cycle (we call it the WTF cycle for good reason) so it might be a case of try with no success for the first cycle but a 'lucky' few get preg in that cycle (i did but MC that one too) here have some cake

these are from an order i made for a girl who now doesnt want them or the 10 inch 1 tiered cake to match enjoy!!

Ooh, baby IQ on the way! Exciting!

Also still laughing at the cat and the pork. (which reminds me: a friend of mine who shall remain nameless once spent a summer as a student being Very Broke Indeed in London. On the night in question, she and her boyfriend were contemplating yet another dinner of beans on toast, when their cat came in with ... an entire leg of lamb. I think you can guess the rest...)

I think I am going to crack and test today, I feel very hormonal but dunno is it PMS or pregnancy or just weirdness. Also doing ye olde traditional "advance metalling" ie worrying that IF this is the month THEN what will I have to worry about next. Oh, and panicking about DP's job because he might have to travel to the US in the next month or so and I suspect if I get upduffed I will be a giant blouse and not want him to leave the country (or at least the continent) until I get past the date I m/c last time.

champers sorry you are here, I didn't wait after my last early mc and was pg with ds3 within 8 weeks. They found it difficult dating the pg though as I think my body was a bit all over the place. By the later scan he was two weeks a head of what we thought

Hi all - well we've just been for a quick check at the drop in centre and I'm 2 cm along with a soft cervix - the MW also did a stretch and sweep and said she felt the membranes peel away so hopefully my waters don't hang about too long......at least all this hard work is doing something. The contractions are already 5 mins apart though so we've been told to come home, chill for a bit and then go in when I feel I can't go any further without help or drugs - this is fine with me as I wanted to labour at home as long as I could.

So baby IQ is definitely on her way which is a nice feeling - I will keep you updated with how it all goes.

Thank you all for your well wishes and kind thoughts they mean lots coming from you lovely ladies!!!

Hugs to all xxx

Hi yes it is a bit scary being here.
Its so cheering to read your experience Luv reading it

Im all geared up for another go at this, but i not telling any friends - only my mum knows.

great to share our most intermate thoughts itsnt it girls.

I better pass on the cupcakes

Hello Champas and Chellie, welcome to thread.

Fab news iq, keep going sweetheart, it is so hard but so worth it. When I was waiting at home, I had the rugby on, which sort of helped, but maybe a nice film you know well so it won't matter if you lose the plot now and again. Hope you find a way to get through it. I am sure you will- your body has been practising for weeks and you have been so calm and sensible about it.

Well, good news in our house is DD is on the mend. Bad news is I have it. I am 7 wks today. Felt really sick this am, thought if might be morning sickness. Nope, it's the bug. I'm shaky, and being sick. Trying to keep liquids down. Wish I had eaten better over last few days, but with DD ill it went out of the window. Feeling so sorry for myself.

IQ - so exciting, have a nice bath, chill out and that baby will be in your arms before you can say opps I have piles. Best of british to you lady.

champas I have been pregnant 9 times. My only successfull one was conceived in the WTF cycle. Never underestimate the power of the WTF cycle. Good luck x

Leedy FFS POAS! Or I will do it for you.

Just realised as I typed that that I haven't POAS for at least a week. Blimey - that weird positive woman has weaned me of my twice daily habit....

Hello champas sorry you're here :( I MC a couple of weeks ago and am trying again immediately. Some health professionals told me to wait a cycle or two, others said I was more likely to be fertile immediately after a MC.

V excited that IQ's baby is on the way!!

I have been doing some serious metalling today. For the first time ever (other than a MC obviously) I've had mid-cycle spotting. WTH is this? Do any of you get it around OV time or could it be (still ridiculously optimistic in spite of all my fertility problems) implantation? It was accompanied by loads of EWCM (apologies for tmi). I MCd some time between 4-8 March so the time would be about right, though as I've never had a regular cycle I haven't got much to go by. Can anyone shed some light?

x posted Jaffa . Get well soon and stay hydrated.

Oh poor jaffa, feel better soon.

Sadly work has intervened in my plan to buy a weeing-on stick, but I think I might have one at home...

leedy go wee on that stick!

iq let us know how it's all going if you can

champas it is scary, but I find it helps having so many people know how worrying it all can be. In rl I've found people expect you to move on pretty quickly, but it can take time.

twolittlemonkeys I'm not sure about the bleeding, your on what we call the wtf cycle after mc. Some people have on/off bleeding for quite some time.

Jaffa hope you feel better soon

Well girls, I'm having wine later. I'm realy looking fwd to it

Mmmm wine

Having a very off/low day but can muster enough Woo, and indeed, hoo to cheerlead IQ on! So excited to hear your birth story!

(oh, and jaffa having not long come through D&V with DS2 followed by me getting it (then DD) I know it's particularly grim to have when pregnant... although, aparently, not particularly 'dangerous' so no worried there)

Hi All! What a difference a bit of sunshine can make.

I hope all is going well for IQ!

You girls seem to have all the answers, so, can you help with some ammo for the gp? I'm 35, miscarried last dec and since having my son (2 yrs ago) I regularly bleed between periods. I don't want to keep waiting for 'it all to sort itself out' which is what my gp has said before. I've totally dug my head in the sand since I MC, so I now feel the need to take some control

Hi all - just arrived at hospital, now 4cms along and waiting on a pool!!

I'm managing the pain as best as I can but I'm hoping for gas and air when we get our room - just off for a wander - speak later!!
XxX

Ooh...exciting stuff iq hope things move quickly for you now an you soon get to meet mini-iq!!

Sorry you're feeling so down manda hope things perk up over the weekend for you.

jaffa sorry to hear you now have the bug...I really can't imagine dealing with that at the moment as am suitably exhausted and seem to have developed some truly attractive swollen ankles today...

Erpc went well yesterday. They have started putting antibiotic suppositories up your bum during the operation- has anyone else had this? They didn't do it last time. I woke up this morning feeling like there was a poker up there! A couple of paracetomol has sorted it out though.

The ga was the best I have had. They gave me something to relax me before the put me to sleep and I can't remember anything after the relaxing stuff went in. It felt more like a natural sleep than being forced.

I should get an appointment once the results are back from the genetic testing. Does anyone know how long testing takes? Is it a quick thing or does it take a long time?

I am feeling ok after everything that had happened. Just worrying if I will ever get a baby or will this happen everytime.

Think I will go back to work towards the end of next week so I only have to work a couple of days before weekend. Can't face a full 5 days in one go!

Hope everything is ok iq.

Manda big hug coming your way (no lick), hope today brings a better day.

pebs glad it whet we'll. My experiences has been good, ERPC is my method of choice, emotionally I find it the simplest. I can't remember how long it took for the testing as they notified me via an appointment so it was more tied in with appointments dates. I think at our hospital they ate sent off site to UCH.

IQ radio silence surely must mean it are on the home straight. Got everything crossed for mini IQ and You x
