Continuation of the last thread.

There's cake for scoffing, backs for patting, and screeching death metal for all your metalling moments. All welcome so come on in and get settled into the plush sofas!

Dictionary:

So settle into the mosh pit, we have special VIP area's for those on the 2WW, the new bumps metalling with segregated areas for the first/second/third trimesters and the club class cocktail bar for those who have just got AF and can get-pissed let loose for the first two weeks!

mumtum I started mc naturally while in the ward waiting to go for the erpc. Emergencies meant although I arrived at 7am, I didn't go into theatre until 3pm. It all started around 11am and there was no question of just leaving me to it, they wanted me to have the op to make sure it was all gone. I'd imagine if you do start to mc before your erpc, they'll ask you to go in to hosp if you start passing a lot of tissue (usually filling a pad quite quickly) so they can help you to finish it as quickly as possible. Sooner it's sorted the sooner you can start the emotional recovery and start ttc again!

Made up about all those who have bfps - congrats!!! and here's to the preggo chair on this thread Wine. I'm in 2ww but because AF hasn't been exactly back to normal yet I'm not sure if my cycle is right or not....so fighting constant metalling Confused

Dorita75 · 13/05/2012 21:11

x-post, holding your hand tomorrow martha x

tasmaniandevilchaser · 13/05/2012 21:36

oh martha I did laugh about that preggo chair - hope you don't have too much metalling tomorrow - just plonk yourself firmly on that chair and don't move all day!

Just had vision of you wheeling yourself to the loo on it Grin and had to share that thought!

MissCoffeeNWine · 13/05/2012 21:48

Martha Grin Grin Grin YEEEAAY for the BFP!! Big hand holding for tomorrow but babies can't read calendars Grin Go you and DH Grin

Sorry [mumtum] I haven't had surgery for either MC, one natural and one labour and delivery, I hope you make a decision you're happy with. Look after yourself.

Welcome and sorry [munchin] [backward] and others.

[Boris] that's crap I so hope you can be seen soon :(

Fingers Xed for all those in the 2WW Brew

All seems well over here in Coffee-land. Ticking off the days until viability now. Even if the worst happens I will feel more validated with some official recognition. I hate that mini-toe and even coffee-bean weren't proper babies and I didn't have a right to claim them even though I laboured and held them :( Any way - seven days until 24 weeks/viability. And another dildocam to look forward to May 29th Grin

MissCoffeeNWine · 13/05/2012 21:49

Apparently I have lost all ability to bold people and am trying to make you all into [smileys] instead.

mscoffee mini toe and coffee bean were all yours, and always will be [hugs]

BlueCrane · 13/05/2012 22:56

martha Grin Grin fab fab fab news!!!! I've been meaning to check in for your poas news all weekend but have only just got to the computer!! I bizarrely had a good feeling for you this month so am strangely not surprised at your amazing news! Hang in there!!! Sending lots of positive vibes for getting through Monday tomorrow!

Sorry not to reply to everyone else's posts individually, have had an odd weekend awaiting the arrival of DM and my DSD but they have had two aborted flights and are hopefully, finally en route on a plane that actually works (others had to turn back a couple of hours into each flight!) and will hopefully arrive in the morning, though I won't relax until I actually see them in arrivals at heathrow! 38 weeks on Tuesday...eeek!

backwardpossom · 13/05/2012 22:56

I quite fancy being a smiley, misscoffee Grin

Having a better day today. I was feeling really down yesterday - had a friend round to visit and he took his wife with him (obviously) except I didn't know they were expecting... of course I got the inevitable "do you think you'll have another one soon?" and it was like a punch in the stomach. I just smiled and said that the time wasn't quite right yet... Not their fault but ouch! Today though, I feel much better. The bleeding seems to be slowing a bit. Had a nice family day, too.

Hope you're all ok x

InsomniaQueen · 14/05/2012 00:56

Morning ladies - your resident lurker here!!!

So......... I came on to check jaffas news (have been away from home so only just had a chance to do it) and now I have 2 reasons to celebrate!!

  1. Jaffa has a lovely pink bundle on the way and the test results came back fine.
  1. Martha is 'up the duff', 'preggers', 'has a bun in the oven' Smile

So a whoop-diddy-whoop from mummyIQ and BabyIQ (who is currently awake playing). So happy for you ladies it's unreal!!!

Grin Grin Grin

Now I'm just waiting for Manda and blue to join me in the graduates section of the stats thread!!

Love to all xxx

StateofConfusion · 14/05/2012 01:41

Evening everyone.

Metalling hard tonight, I've just had one wipe of peachy/beige discharge? Me and dp were 'fooling around' no actual swi but contact iyswim --so a mix of fluids-- nothing since but I'm falling apart now :(

WhyAlwaysBoris · 14/05/2012 07:36

martha wishing you a safe and happy monday :)

pebs i'd mention the spotting just to put your mind at reast, but my first two AF were on/off for an exta few days

muchin you probably know this but if you are TTC again make sure you get a BFN on a test first so that you can trust future tests to be right.

mumtum thinking of you today

tas i'm also on the tww, also been driven mental by it. I'm due to test on Thursday, how about you?

Thinking about Manda today, has anyone had any news yet?

I'm gearing up to ring the hopsital today and have a row, have to call them at lunchtime from work which is really, really not ideal. But it would be the same any day this week so i'd rather get it over with.

thank you all for the hand holding, i am DETERMINED that today is no Manic Monday, DH is starting to get excited and i am prodding my boobies like a good'un! Grin

IQ how lovely to hear from you and miniIQ (thanks for the high five miniIQ!) and blue i wanted you to know too so whoop whoop!

Right i am going to stop with the me me me posts and do some hand holding for the lovely ladies on here who need it.

manda what rotten shitty timing! I mean, you know, poor DD and all that but crikey! I would quarantine them all in one room and you and minimanda can hopefully have some lovely summer walks as the weather is getting warmer

mumtum is your scan today?

state i am sure you are fine as our fanjo's can reveal all sorts in pregnancy Hmm but i am holding your hand regardless

StateofConfusion · 14/05/2012 12:48

Metalling settled, Dr google said its more than normal and I've had nothing since that one wipe, no pains either, thanks for the replies, sometimes I need a shake and a "get a grip women" --dp is staying away from me until december now though --

we'll get through monday! X

manda your poor dd (and you) hope she is well soon x

Hope it goes ok today mumtum x

Sod healthy eating today

MrsPear · 14/05/2012 13:04

Morning all ... right where is the stat thread, i have been to the doctors this morning and it is official i am pregnant. I am due on the 2nd of January 2013. No early scan for me as chemical pregnancies don't count and i've "only" had two mc. I am going to Kings, London for nuchal scan instead of my local as doctor in her most diplomatic way thinks it is best.

How is mumtum ?

State i have only dtd once (and nothing else) since we found out.

martha we can get through Mondays ... just think you are 4 weeks right; so after today that is 36 more to go. That makes a pregnancy much shorter and much more manageable!

borris tas this will be both your months ... ask martha for her chair!

manda hope daughter is better soon.

jaffa if i haven't said before but congratulations on your healthy pink bundle.

And to the lady who is waiting for an appointment; hope you get a sooner one.

And to the new ladies - sorry for your losses

MumTumWanted · 14/05/2012 13:08

Hey to all

My scan sadly is not til Friday Sad they said hospital protocol is to wait 2 weeks Confused I explained given that u was sure of my dates and suspecting I would opt for erpc not a natural mc that I didn't think I could mentally deal with another 2 weeks of not knowing so they agreed to just 1 week wait instead. The weekend was a breeze compared to today. Working from home today and tomorrow but that leaves plenty of time for googling hopeful stories and only finding the worse mentalling...... So 4 sleeps to go and my scan is 9.20 Friday morning. Dh has booked the day off as we are both facing up to the fact that nothing wil have changed and a mmc will likely be diagnosed.

That said yesterday painful boobs made another appearance - now gone again today - and today nausea is defo back- it all just feels so cruel I know realistically my body obviously hasn't realised the growth isn't correct so I still have Hcg flowing causing the symptoms.... but If I was feeling grotty cos I was carrying a gorgeous new life I'd almost enjoy knowing that was reassuring weirdo As it is it's just upsetting Hmm ( desperately also trying to not let that tiny piece of hope let me think it's a good sign as it simply can't beSad) dates just don't allow for it to be otherwise. Sorry for the me me

Manda any news yet???? Martha your welcome Hun I'd lice to know all of us get our bfps and successful pregnancys I hope Monday is going ok for you still xxx

All the other ladies ( can't scroll on stupid I phone app) thank u for your thoughts the virtual support is so amazing x

MumTumWanted · 14/05/2012 13:09

X posts congrats mrs pear everything crossed it will all be just fine for you xxx

MrsPear · 14/05/2012 13:13

Oh mumtum please don't apologise for me me me. It is not that. You need to get it out. We are all here.

ConfusedMumDotCom · 14/05/2012 13:58

Hi ladies, do you mind if I join your thread?

I had a mmc at the beginning of the month. Went to the hospital with spotting on 29 April at 10+1 to be told that my baby had died at 8 weeks. I believe I naturally passed everything by 1 May, but had an EPRC booked for that day and went ahead to make sure.

I have been off work on and off since then (am off today) but feel ready to go back tomorrow. This was my first mc and I'd appreciate your advice.

TMI warning

I haven't had a period yet, but 2 days ago I started to get ewcm, had pain in my right pelvis area and now pink tinged ewcm. Do you think it is likely that I am/have ovulated or maybe just some left over blood? If I base the 30 April as cd1, then it could be possible... I will also need a reality check and try not to get too excited/hopeful that I will get a bfp straight away (DH and I have been SWI since Saturday Blush ).

backwardpossom · 14/05/2012 16:42

Hi confused sorry for your loss. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you - sounds promising though!

Thinking of you mumtum and don't ever apologise for posting - you need to get it out too!

MrsPear got everything crossed that you have a healthy and happy pregnancy!

I read another pregnancy announcement on FB this morning. So 2 cousins and this friend are all due around when I would have been. Balls. I'm allowed to be a wee bit jealous, right? Hmm

whatcakeydid · 14/05/2012 16:48

Hi everyone! I'm new, and tbh not very good at the Internet malarkey so bear with me...
I had ERPC for mmc on 4th may and I was wondering why the nurses recommended to not try for a month (apart from dating the next pregnancy). They said so I could recover emotionally and physically and if i'm ok emotionally then that leaves physically... So could there be a problem with my uterus or cervix or something?
Any advice really appreciated Confused
backward I think it's definitely ok to be jealous!

ConfusedMumDotCom · 14/05/2012 17:33

Thanks Backward. I think it absolutely fine to be jealous. I've had 2 Facebook announcements for babies due when mine was.

Also, all of my friends I met through NCT classes are due within a month of my due date. I am very happy for them, but was so looking onward to another years mat leave with them. I feel as if they are moving forward without me and very sad about the loss of a future I had thought I was going to have. Sad

Hopefully, I'll be pregnant with a healthy baby soon, but I think it's ok to be jealous, sad and happy all at the same time. It's just difficult to explain or expect others to understand.

whatcakeydid my consultant advised me to wait 6 weeks, but the sister on the ward said to start trying as soon as I felt ready as my body would know and be most fertile in the next few months so no point wasting an opportunity. She also said that the doctors like you to wait to help dating and also to avoid disappointment from false positives from the hormones remaining in your system. DH and I felt ready to start trying for DC2, so we have. My scan 2 weeks ago confirmed there was nothing let in my womb, so i'm comfortable that the risk of a false positive is low.

whatcakeydid · 14/05/2012 17:38

confused thanks for that. I'm not having anymore scans I guess because I had ERPC so can I assume that everything back to normal and just crack on?!
