Just MC and ready to try again? Pregnant after MC and seeking somewhere safe to hide? Come on down to the mosh pit for some serious metalling and cake overindulgence

[WhyAlwaysBoris]

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!

Pixie, sorry about your MC, and glad you are beginning to feel a little better.

Tas, sorry to hear about AF. You will be missed on your break but i hope you have a great time with much alcohol, blue cheese, late nights and caffeine the morning afters xx

HUGE congrats manda and of course we will totally forgive you if you're not posting for a while...hope everything settles well with the whole manda-clan and DS2 ok with the addition of DS3 and especially that DS3 settles into good feeding/sleeping routine so you can get some much needed rest. Oh, and of course that you have no more dramas re. measles in the house either!!!

martha try to stay calm...it being brown is a good thing as you know but I know this doesn't limit the metalling

boris hang in there. Well done for starting on the aspirin and try not to test too much...I tried to limit myself to weekly digi's in the early weeks, though the IC's are always very tempting. When was AF due/how far along are you at the moment?

Congratulations manda xxxx

Congratulations Manda!!!!

boris i have the soluble aspirins but am just swallowing them whole with water, i think the leaflet says you get the same effect (doesnt mention preventing a MC but YKWIM )

blue you are truly an angel, particularly as you have proffered my fave chocolate!

feeling a bit better ladies, still some brown spotting but it looks obviously 'old' IYSWIM

mumtum, I am so sorry to hear your news. I wish you didn't have to wait so long. It is such a sad, muddling time, and I wish it could be over sooner for you. The sadness and grief of a miscarriage never quite leaves, but it is so intense at the beginning, especially when it is not completely over.

Now, Manda, big hurrahs for the safe arrival of your little boy! You have come a long way together already. I am glad you were experienced enough to fend of the inducers. Hope you get some sleep soon and that measles clears out of the Manda household.

Martha sorry you had the brown blood. Agree with blue, its most likely to be innocent. Not fair that your body plays tricks though. My peachy discharge nearly flipped me out completely. Was thinking about tiago and also Mscoffee discharge woes as well. What is it with
fanjos? Why don't they behave!?

I am trying not to metal, but I can't help it. I got my full Cvs results back- all clear. I feel bigger. I have abump that is almost undisguisable, started having heartburn, hungry, tired... All good. Still have huge fear that this one is going to go wrong. Until I get past 17 weeks, the doomsday last time, I can't believe she is coming. I got my scan date in the post when I was away, and it is on thd day my DH is in Denmark for work. It would be, wouldn't it. I will try and rearrange, but not hopeful. Think I will be going on my own.

Still data roaming so just a quickie....

manda well done you clever old baby making machine. Proof again that we can do this business. Only 9lb? Blimey lady. That is like giving birth to 2 at the same time for me (DD was 4lb9.)

martha nothing will stop the metalling but I have had this 3 times with this pregnancy and according to my Doppler I am still in the game at 17 weeks and everyone of my numerous scans so far say the same. I also had it with DD. this time I got it around 4plus 4, 7 and 15 weeks. Every time I metal, every time I get told not to worry. Brown is old, it is worrying and makes me think it will turn red but none of mine have so far. Blowing you magic dust from Spanish Spain. hope the VIP area is comfy and I'll bring you a big bowl of the paella I've just made.

Yay Manda well done you!!! Congratulations Looking forward to hearing how its all going when you get a chance.

Martha I had similar brown discharge this time too - nothing to worry about as it turned out but I know that won't help with the metalling so I'll just offer some hand holding instead

martha a girl after my own heart with the galaxy chocolate DH bought me a large bar last week and couldn't understand why I hadn't saved him any...he clearly doesn't understand that once a bar has been started it has to be finished

manda I knew there could only be one reason for cyber silence for you, and definitely the best one. Congratulations to you and all your family, but well done especially to you. Now the worry really begins....!

martha sorry about the scary discharge. It does sound like nothing to worry about, but really anything sets us off, doesn't it?

jaffa great that the CVS results are back in full and are OK, you really cannot get much more reasurance than that, well, for a lot of things anyway. A shame about your scan date, but you might well be able to change it, particularly with a bit of notice. I managed to move both my scan and MW appointments to much better dates and times.

bluecrane I got a fab lie in too, DH on a stag this afternoon and overnight, so I insisted he got DS up and gave me a couple of hours. Fab. Sadly I cannot do chocolate at the moment. It makes me want to vom after a mouthful or two. I nicked one of DS's buttons (treats for having eyedrops). boak. Haven't done any tests now for a couple of weeks. I had a scan yesterday at 7 weeks, showed a heart beat, only one bean and no ectopic, so no point in tests now. If something goes wrong, I know they will come up +ve anyway for a while so would be falsely reassuring. Plus, I'm not sure when it happens, but at some point the HCG gets so high you get a "loop" effect and they come back -ve when all is fine, and that really would set me off!

thank you for all the support, reassurance, handholding and galaxy chocolate and yes the VIP sofa is tremendously comfy

blue my DH actually hides the galaxy chocolate in the highest shelf in the kitchen (i am a short arse)

having a quiet night, DH watching the football and i am MNing whilst celebrating DS's first fully dry day since starting potty training 2 weeks ago

manda congratulations on the safe arrival of your son, I am so so happy for you and can't wait to hear the name! You have definitely had a stressful few days leading up to the birth!! Welcome to the world wee man xxx

Does that mean blue is next!!!

martha please please don't worry chick, i know it's easier said than done but as everybody else has said brown blood is old blood and it is probably just bubs burrowing in well, I hope you are relaxing well on the sofa xx are you taking aspirin this time around, anything else?

mumstum I am thinking of you Xx

tiago am so glad to hear the gush was nothing and baby is doing well x

jaffa great news on the Cvs results, that's great !

bonzo great news on the scan, how old is your ds? When is your edd?

poppy how have you been doing? I am feeling very uncomfortable now at 34w but the birth still doesn't feel like it is going to happen!

blue when is your due date again? I am very excited about your imminent arrival !!

midget I wish I was in Spain! It sounds most wonderful right now !!

Sorry I haven't name checked everyone, admittedly I lurk a lot more than I post on this thread nowadays but I know I wouldn't have got where I am without the support this thread gave me x

Can someone remind me where the stats thread is ? Thanks xx

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/1406311-MOSH-PIT-stats-thread

martha I'm also a short arse but not sure DH would dare hide chocolate from me at the moment plus he's just as likely to eat it so it's usually me having to hide chocolate from him! congrats on DSs dry day!

pie edd is 29th May...eeek! Not long now! Have been bizarrely emotional the last couple of days, feel very hormonal...like pmt type hormonal if that makes any sense? This being dc1 I really have no clue what to expect in the coming weeks...other than what i've read etc obviously but it all seems to be quite an individual process for the start of labour and to be honest I'd quite like to just get on with it now! But...secretly hoping there's no coincidence of dates as I'm only a week away from the anniversary of my 12wk scan where my mmc was found and my Erpc was on 9th June last year - both dates perfectly possible for LO to arrive which is messing with my head a bit!

bonzo so glad all was well with your scan...you are definitely at that waiting point again so you can get to your next milestone and tests won't make any difference that unfortunately.

Currently lazing in bed wit the iPad whilst DH and friends watching the football!

we are going to have a rush of bambino's with Blue and Pie both imminent, it is so lovely as i have been with you all through your journeys, and with two graduates

blue i feel sick now but that is simply because DH and i have just demolished a full bar of Galaxy Orange chocolate, yummy!

Still a little bit of brown mucus but i am convincing myself it is bubs burrowing, the last two CP's acted much quicker than this so fingers crossed

right i am off to bed as am knackered

night all

martha i had this brown discharge at 4+6 in my last PG. The gp the timing suggested that it was probably 'break through bleeding' which apparently was fine and not worrying unless i got red blood iyswim. Hope you are OK

sorry i meant the gp said the timing...

manda congratulations.

Just a quickly from me tonight ladies, I have just been discharged from hospital, I had sudden savage sickness that just wouldn't stop coming and burst something which caused a lot of blood to come up due to the heparin injection I have daily.
I'm ok now, just tired and sore tummy muscles.

Awww congratulations manda! Welcome mini-manda Another graduate! We will definitely need a playpen in the mosh pit for all this baby chub

Oh no tits feel better soon

I'm sorry mumtum I have everything crossed wednesday goes well and you can be back to TTCing before you know it.

Tiago how scary but glad all is OK - reminds me of gushgate

martha tell your fanjo to behave! Sounds normal but bound to prod the metalling buttons - keep an eye but don't freak out!

so.....blue you're up! How you feeling about the playpen in the corner?

Glad to see you pie 34w hey? Time flies!

Boris where are you and your BFP hiding?

No news from over here really. Metalling a bit about increased leaking again. I hate metalling. I'm sure it's normal or I can't control my bladder

But I'm 24 weeks and she's still in there kicking. Feel like I'm getting into the baby-having queue at last!

My obsessive lurking regular checks have paid off, Manda big congratulations on your new arrival!!!! We now have 2 mini moshers......whoop whoop.

So pleased to see lots of continuing pregancys - keeping everything crossed for everyone still awaiting their BFPs and sending hugs to mumtum it's a bloody awful time but these ladies will be here to support and encourage you all the way.

Well mini IQ is stirring so I better put the IPad down and start assuming the 'milking' position before she really starts to express herself.......she is very loud when she doesn't get her own way or I don't move fast enough - DH says she gets it from me !!

Love to all!!! Xxx

Morning ladies,

I've been really quiet since my original post as I was on the 2ww and silently terrified. You have no idea how reading your posts calms me down, and I have been promising myself to apply all the good advice I've read here if I got a BFP.

I tested Thurs am with CB digital - 1-2 weeks flashed up, but as it was only 10dpo I tried not to get too excited in case of a CP. Last night there was brown mucus before bedtime (due AF today or tomorrow, wondered if that was it), so I did another test this morning CB digital again and it says 2-3 weeks. I should be feeling confident? But I'm not. This is exactly how my mc started albeit a week later than this. Someone please slap me and tell me to get a grip? I can't imagine spending the rest of a pregnancy like this.

sorry for the me, me, me.

Oh wow icequeen that's fantastic news! Try not to worry about the brown stuff, it's totally normal (so I hear!) and the CB results are going in the right direction so can't say fairer than that :)

I did my third ic test today, still getting two lines, but definitely fainter than two days ago. It's been a really hard week emotionally, I didn't think I'd find it this hard (not sure why). Totally 'lost it' with my best pal on Friday as she'd rung the week before to say she couldn't afford to come to my wedding in a couple of weeks but then posted onthe evil fb that she was really excited to be going to a random pal's wedding 300 miles away this weekend. I freaked and ended up telling her about the mc and saying that the only people giving me any support were colleagues who I barely knew and strangers on MN. I probably definitely went a bit far, but I find this whole mc business gives you a new perspective on life and what you want out of it (lots of babies!) Am really gutted I left it this late to start trying (will be 38 in a few months) and don't really know why I was so obsessed with my career at the expense of having children. I just hope hope hope that things change and I miraculously fall preggo soon and manage to keep the baby inside me long enough for it to be healthy. Aaaaarrrgggghhhh! Metalling galore

congrats manda good to see another graduate from this thread.

try not to worry about the brown stuff marth i know my last pg didn't work out well but i had the brown stuff and on the scan it showed it was coming from somewhere no where near the babies so try not to worry. are you getting an early scan?

cant believe pie is nearly due - i remember her bfp really clearly!!

i am feeling mostly ok at the moment. i have started a new role at work and although i am not as bored as i was i am quite stressed with it. i am sure it will all calm down soon but i really feel the stress more than i ever have before - i am sure this is down to the mc's.

i am going to ring the hospital this week to make sure my referal has been done. i have seen lot's of stories where the letter went missing etc and people have been waiting for an appointment that never comes. i will be following this one through to the end.

i feel a bit out of it on this thread at the moment as i am not ttc but i will keep posting and following your stories. the mc testing thread on the mc board has really dried up so i have no where else to go!

congrats on bfp kate

Congratulations Manda - excellent news.
