12 months on and most people on my TTC thread are pregnant so I'm starting a new one! Come and join me if you've been TTC a while or are TTC after pregnancy loss... we've been through it all!

[iloveberries]

iloveberries Age 31, DH 32, DS 2 yrs. Been TTC #2 for a year, 1 m/c, 1 ectopic, 1 tube removed. Will be starting TTC again after my next AF.

Still following the ladies on my original TTC thread but most of them are now pregnant so whilst I'm delighted for them I wanted to start a new place for those who have been TTC for a while and are still awaiting a healthy, sticky bean in the right place.

All welcome..... nothing if off limits, nothing is TMI, no 'babydust' though please

Hi All! Tas any news? HK more snuggles and how's DD? Munch I'd love to see Gaga! She's a loon but great! Not sure what to say re your cycles. Try not to worry just yet. See what happens with the next one. Lynz amazing I quite agree and lovely to have you back. Been at a spa with dm today at Fig Tree Bay. Twos lovely. DH and dsf gatecrashed this afternoon but treated us to sushi and mojitos feel very relaxed now! We've yet to dtd this month. Dm told me the other day she tried for 3 years to get me. I've decided time out won't do us any harm at the moment. Night all!

Lyn-I said a prayer for you and your grandpa. Hope everything turns out to be ok and that you get a HUGE christmas prezzie (good news).

Finally got the news last night late. He phoned me and told me that after the MC they take a sample of the afterbirth and sends it away to be tested. They found out that the baby was dead for 10 to 14 days inside me. In such cases the hcg hormone can stay high for a long period and it can be dangerous if it does. He did not want to add to my suffering at that time (so gratefull) so kept the news from me and sent me for the bloodwork last week to check the levels. Levels came back 0. which is very good news so I can look to the future and nothing is wrong. But also heartbreaking because not PG.

Oh tas I'm sorry. It's hard to hear that news but so glad he didn't tell you at time. I think it would have been same for me with baby dead a similar time. But I never got any results and was told I wouldn't unless something was wrong. I suppose we just have to look forward to future and move on. Easier said than done.

Tas and munch feel for you both it's awful at the easiest mc, but having them with no heartbeat and seeing on screen is dreadful!
How's everyone doing?
Was thinking we should have a stats list :-)
Shall I start?

Hello kitty- age 31- ttc for 18 months- dd aged 4 going on 40- testing 9/10/12 :-)

Pls all add yourselves

Happy weekend
Xx

Tas and Munch hope you are ok. It's interesting how differently things are done in different places. I'm not sure which is better. My heart goes out to both of you. Hope everyone else is ok. No news here! HK that is a good idea. Maybe we could start a new thread when we've got all the stats? Anyway here's mine mrsnec.ttc:21 months. Dc:0 testing: long way off yet as having a break from ttc. Age:34

Mrs- great idea about new thread! Bet it wi ll be your time now you have stopped ttc! That's what happened to me with dd they said I couldn't naturally after 3 years and I fell! Hoping that's the case for you x

Hi hope everyone is well, Good idea about stats mine are--

Rach- age 27 dh aged 32- ttc for 26 months- dd aged 4years 1 month with the attitude of a teenager at the mo! lol
I have a feeling we will get good news with one of us before christmas never give up hope :) Take care all x

Rachie hoping crimbo news will be right!! X

Me too on the crimbo news as I turn the dreaded 35 the week before the big day!

Thanks HK and mrs. A mc for anyone is awful. The thing though with a mmc is you have no idea til the scan and it's the pure shock factor as well.

A new thread is a great idea, But i'll leave that to one of you lovely ladies.

Please update stats list and sorry if I've missed someone.

Mrs it's my birthday too a week before Xmas but wish I was your age again.

All is well here. Having a relaxing weekend.

Hey lovelies how are things? Day 14 here woohoo getting jiggy with it every other day for next 2 weeks and past 4 days hope one of them little tadpoles will have a map and go in the correct direction! X

Hey Munch Xmas birthdays stink don't they? Mine is the 20th but I was due boxing day and that would have been worse! Thought about stating new thread. Will leave until this one is full as some peeps on the one too and it'll get confusing. Hi HK good luck this month! And same to everyone else! Visitors gone. CD25 here. Only managed to dtd last night. Having a break and playing it cool was more stressful! Fail at first then I got upset about the whole thing but we got there in the end. Back to normal next month I think! I did have those strange pains in the morning though that I don't know if ov or af. Well they were definately central and quite low down and not stronger on either side so we'll see what happens! HK your DH been tested again yet couldn't remember if you'd got results yet?

Mrs- hi and fx that you ovulated around last nighr
Dp needs booking in again for test he had to cancel as work manic and could not get time off 8-8 pm job and later some days lab first appointment 9:10 am
So no still waiting for him to be able to go. Still trying every other day to give them time to build up and mature am assuming doing right?
Dd now on week 3 of school and missing her like mad .

Still on an up note I insist we are all pg by crimbo
Xx

Hope so too re ov but still worry it's too late in cycle not getting hopes up. Shame about DH it's always difficult to fit in aps. I am no expert but I would be tempted to just carry on as normal. Having a break ended up doing us more harm cos of the added pressure but I'm not sure if your DP would need a break or not in terms of the quality. Xmas would be lovely for all of us! I keep trying to book a holiday for the spring and things keep getting in the way. Wondered if its fate telling me it's a bad idea? But probably just wishful thinking.

Hiya Mrs & Hk. Its miserable weather here with me.

Yes Mrs december birthdays suck alright. Mine is the 15th so not as close as you. Mrs my advice is book your holiday. I have learnt you cannot keep putting everything on hold. The stress of that alone will get to you and it would be nice to have something to look forward to. Just pick somewhere that you could go even if pg.

HK I bet you miss your dd, but hopefully she is enjoying it. Your dh does some very long hours.

Well I got a smiley face on sun morning and i think that was cd12. We had dtd day before but thats been it as dh copped on that I had the smiley face and no matter what we tried he seemed to have stage fright!!!! I was freaking out but I just have to get over it as stressing only makes it worse. On the positive it could mean by cycle is getting back to something more normal. We shall see of course when AF decides to arrive and if it is a proper Af not like last times pathetic excuse. I had given myself a timelimit of til xmas and then jack it in but this morning I have extended that til march next year.

Thanks Tas only a few to go now. Munch I know what you mean about putting things on hold. Problem is we've done everything here and can't agree on anything whenever we talk about it so nothing gets done. I will end up just going for it I think. Also for me if nothing happens by Xmas I know I am going to have to start opks to confirm my theory that my short LP is the problem. I think we should all just carry on for now though! HK it's half term soon isn't it? If you're missing DD start planning some nice things you can do together. On another note I have an old friend who does reflexology. I read on FB this morning that a client of hers who'd been ttc for ages got pg after 3 treatments! Shame you can't have distance reflexology but I wondered if any of you have tried it?

Mrs I started taking b complex vitamins this month and by opks I got smiley on cd 12 so we'll see when AF arrives but if it doesn't come til around cd 30 mark I will definitely say it must have helped. I have never tried reflexology. Well I got my order of cb digi off amazon yest so I'm ready for next month. They were way cheaper than you can buy here. Also with digi there is no wondering if its positive or not.

I think I'll be placing an order then! If I am ov on cd24 lp is 8 days and has been for past few cycles. Maybe it's cos I stopped the FA? But that could be coincidence. Anyway Clearly still not enough B vits just from diet. Might feel better about taking them than FA as they help with other general health issues too. Can I ask what brand and dose you've gone for Munch?

I just bought a seven seas brand and its called b complex with folic acid. I had used pregnacare ttc for 2 cycles and it was too expensive plus I reckon it was messing with my cycle in a bad way. I have read on other threads where ladies are taking a higher dose b vitamins and get them from holland and Barrett.

I think I'll just stick with that one for now. Been googling again. Sounds like I have LPD as I have the other symptoms too. Anyone tried progesterone cream? Wonder if I should order that too but am a bit scared of side effects.

Hiya mrs. Just googled it myself. I'd just give the b vitamins a try on their own first. Maybe they would do the trick. I saw in pharmacy today that seven seas have a new one called trying for a baby.

Mrs I tried reflexology for 3 months once a week, I clearly did not get a bfp but my sis in law did
Munch I am taking trying for a baby by seven sees as was fairly cheap and fancied something in a different wrapper
How's things with you all?
I have a mediation session with the father of dd tomorrow after not seeing her for 13 months now after a long process and her forgetting him he wants contact
So going to kick some crap dad arse tomorrow as she doesn't even discuss him and calls dp daddy as she can't remember him not being there! Grrrrrrrrr
Xx

Hello ladies thank you to everyone for the well wishes, you are very kind.

My stats; age 28 ttc 1 month! No children!

I saw my specialist today, she was quite surprised at my decision, she was gonna get me booked in for a hysterectomy based on our previous discussion. She says it will prob take a couple of months for af to get back to normal and then with all my issues she cant guarantee anything will happen.
Ive got my folic acid on hand to start taking now.
I'm just reading through everything I've missed from you guys.
I hope you are all well.

Going to see what village pharmacy can do before I place Amazon order and will hold on the cream for now! On the Reflexology thing maybe that was just a fluke in both cases then and it doesn't work for everyone. HK you know my thoughts on crap dads! Definately wise to sort it while DD is young. Good luck and go get 'em! Great to see you back Lynz. I like to think there is always hope and sometimes it's worth giving everything you've got just to prove people wrong.
