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

[MarthasHarbour]

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!

And we have a recently refurbished Mosh Pit Nursery for the graduates IQ Manda and Blue, we are currently running a rota for babysitting so those three can go and get-pissed have some rest! I have done my bit this week so i need the next volunteer!

I really wouldn't have a scan before 8 weeks but then i am an ostrich when it comes to this things.

I have asked dr google re pessaries and it came up with this from the nhs - doesn't seem too bad. Much less risky than the idea of a stitch to my brain anyway

thank for my double slap ice, I think I remember slapping you for such nonsense a while back

took ds swimming, got soaked on the way there and back, nausea gone and scoffed some fish and chips! for lunch! i really am wild.

that 6/7 week info is very interesting ice and far I did wonder why so many seemed to stop then.

Mrs Pear I have had the pessaries in early pregnancy, not for the same thing as you though - it was a desperation measure on the part of my consultant when we go to the 'fuck it I'll try anything for my MC's' before I was referred to St Mary's. They were fine but bit messy.

Ice thanks for giving that Doctor stuff back - I was feeling a bit insecure. ahem a great explanation from a non HCP such as yourself. Sadly I have been one of those who has had a scan showing HB at 6 weeks to go on to mc so I can back up your science with personal experience. It is best to wait. However, that still hasn't stopped me having early scans as I am shit at waiting

Hi ladies I phoned the EPU today they were great and want to see me at 7 weeks fx I get there my mc was at 6+6 - she told me not to worry about phoning GP til I've been for scan!

Have a great weekend all and fx'ed for the pg tests xx

Evening all . Hope everyone's had a reasonable day despite the pissing rain.

Many congrats on your BFP pixie - fingers crossed for you.

Well I'm now on CD 21. I had lower abdominal ache this am and convinced myself it was some form of implantation phenomenon. Two hours later - I'm running back and forth to the loo - so I think my theory is out of the window.

I met up with one of my NCT friends today who is 32 weeks pregnant. She found out she was pregnant the day I told her about my miscarriage - I think it was me who persuaded her to test. It was surprisingly painless.

Now should someone who is three weeks pregnant indulge in a glass of wine tonight or not?

Congrats Pixie fingers crossed for you! Congratulations Ice too!

Midget sorry to hear about your rubbish experience at the hospital. I've always had good experiences with hospital staff whenever I've been in for pg/ MC (except for the time I was MCing and was sent to sit in a waiting room full of happy pg ladies for a scan, but that was just me being overly sensitive) :(

IQ your post made me well up. So happy for you.

MrsPear glad it went well at your scan, hope your cervix holds up and they are able to do something for you.

I'm now on CD26, have had no symptoms of OVing despite the Clomid (although I often don't) and DH has been less than enthusiastic about SWI ie there's been no action at all! for the past week Is it sooo hard to have sex every other day? I'm feeling very fed up with the whole thing right now. I've just wasted another precious cycle of drugs because DH can't be bothered. I think DH has realised I'm narked and is avoiding me like the plague. Actually I don't know where he is right now - I thought he was upstairs settling the kids but by the sounds of it they're about to fall through the ceiling and he's clearly not stopping them. I haven't the inclination to go up and read them the riot act. Anyway enough grumbling from me. Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Important things first, can I call on DR martha and Midge please.
I think I already have spd, pain and aches on hips and ahem, just above but behind my fanjo iyswim? I know its not pains I should I worry about re.wriggler its deff muscle/bone ache.

Secondly I need a rant, previously mentioned bitch sil is due in 4/5wks, and decided to invite herself round and annoy the shit out of me when mil and gmil arrived for the week to help with dp recovering from his op. When she left she rang/txt or skyped non stop insisting she was going into labour and needed her mum as she's all alone, her husband sat beside her, she splatters all over facebook today "I'm ready, baby is ready so why won't it come" my ds was 3wks early and lucky to be alive I want to punch her in the face!!! She knows all this and on top of the insensitivity about my mmc I can't tollerate her another second. Dp is frustrated too but I am so cross/hurt/angry and confused as to why I'm letting it get to me.

Rant over.

far congratulations :) another girl - this is a very pink thread.

state your SIL sounds like very hard work :(

state - your SIL definitely sounds like hard work!

No luck for me this cycle, AF arrived today with a vengeance, a couple of days later than I thought it would after some minor spotting (sorry TMI) for last few days which was more like what I got pre MC than anything which is usual for me. Also was running at higher temp than usual for a few days and had had weird taste in mouth.. was metalling furiously as to whether might have caught but had no boob soreness so knew probably not. Probably just post MC hormonal weirdness unfortunately.

Pixie - fingers really crossed for you - it is great news. :)

Oh state se needs a slap!!

wilde I POAS 8 dpo last cycle!! Tee hee! Is so hard to resist when that urge to test kicks in (not unlike the urge to gobble up a big piece of chocolate cake )

Congrats pixie - baby dust please!!!

she needs a slap - not se!!

Far, congratulations on your scan. Such good news! I am so pleased for you.

pixie big congratulations to you too!

tiago, I had my DD in the midwife led unit in Addenbrookes, and would really recommend it. It felt like the best of both worlds- quite relaxed and lovely atmosphere, but huge confidence that if anything did go wrong, the scary stuff was just a lift journey away.

I am having a lot of muscle and ligament pain across the top of my bump. I spoke to MW on thurs, and she said it was completely normal for second, third pregnancies etc, but it hurts! And I am getting to point where bump cannot be hidden.

morning all

well done jolly on being able to meet your friend. These are big milestones for us peeps :)

two I really feel for you. It is frustrating enough when the gent won't put out for swi but if I was on fertility drugs too I would be, ahem, furious. sexy. Do you need to have a bit of a chat do you think? pressure for men is a recurring theme and is so funny because as they would have it they would shag every second of every day if they could

jaffa sorry you are feeling uncomfortable chuck.

state your SIL sounds like a twat. poor you. rant away whehn you need too, my family are a fucking nightmare so have utmost sympathies.

sorry about AF goth. post mc is all so weird - I felt really quite pregnant in my first post mc cycle (and this one!).

yay for being in the system and looked after pixie. exciting times!

mrspear bugger about needing pessaries/stitch but good that you are being watched and looked after too.

IQ I loved your post. I didn't bond quickly with DS in the lovey way but did feel a need to protect him instantly. i cooed more as time went on and he 'opened up'. About 6 months I completely adored every hair on his tiny head :)

I still haven't got my proper pmt :) And didn't poas this morning, and won't tomorrow either. Or monday. I am on pmt watch which is kind of the same as poas anyway, if it stays away i can hope, hope... And am starving starving even though have had breakfast... off out for brunch! am going to eat a LOT!

far congrats on your scans great news! and pixie congratulations on the BFP icequeenkate thought you had been v quiet, glad all is going well!

mrs pear glad your scan went well too and the important thing is that if there is an issue it's been identified and can be managed.

state you could well have a touch of SPD. I had horr-en-dous back pain back at 5 weeks (I know, right!) apparently because the relaxin hormone makes the sacro-iliac joint too lax, a bit of physio and acupuncture and I'm right as rain - but definitely get to a physio ASAP, mine got bad because I ignored it and all the muscles went into spasm ending in me crying in pain in work and having to leave sick....and the lovely nurses in work were offering me strong painkillers, diazepam etc and I couldn't tell them why I couldn't take them!!

goth sorry about AF and wilde good luck with testing early next week

Lovely news to report, just back from second reassurance scan and all well, dates spot on (8+2), strong heart beat at 151, the lovely sonographer even offered me a transvaginal scan to get a better look - never thought I'd voluntarily go through one! but it was absolutely fine and really does give you a better picture, I could see the brain cavity and limb buds which you can't see at all on the tummy scan!

Right off to a BBQ later so going to bake yummy Nigella brownies and find something to wear that doesn't make me look like I've had a sneaky boob job....

Hope all I've missed are well and having a good wkend

that's fabulous squeaky! congratulations!

Congratulations squeaky that's great.

That is great news squeaky

Excellent news Squeaky. Mmmm brownies.

I am happy to report that at 20.5 weeks - I CAN FEEL THE BABY MOVE!!! And it kinda tickles.

Fantastic news squeaky :)
I'm going to ring my mw monday (gp here is crap, its a call back service, they never call back) and see what she can do, its making me metal when I have no need to.

wilde yep, twat, she is indeed. I could run a thread single handedly on her knobish-ness.

Feeling rather bleugh and unsettled tonight, too much to do in too little time and I hate dp being out of action (not That you filthy lot)

Anyway today I am 14wks pregnant.

And horray for tiago

BFN at 10dpo :( gutted, really hoped it was my month. and I think I have pmt too, though am so tired I can't tell whether is pmt or just tiredness and grumpiness about the BFN!

baby will come when baby is ready... and repeat :)

yay tiago! and yay state - indeed you are pg

wilde as a wise person icequeenkate once said to me it's not over til AF arrives.....hang in there.....

Wilde the wise women are right - step away from the sticks, just for now. The fat lady has not sung (but do let me know when you would like me to - at 22 weeks I am the size of a small town). This thread seems to be the equivalent of the office chair that makes you fertile. Hang around a while longer yet and lets hope the magic works for all those on the bastard 2ww.

Squeaky lovely news on the scan (fanjo cam is always my weapon of choice at this stage - I am immune to its horror now)

Tiago Movements are so reassuring for us full on metallers - I have barely touched my Doppler for weeks now. I am just a couple of weeks on from you and yesterday the baby kicked me so hard it moved my arm. It's like a little kung foo fighter now. I don't remember this much with DD. I think she was always so tiny that she didn't have the energy to move around too much - this one the force is strong. I fear for my insides but I love every kick reminding me I am still in the game.

State congratulations on your 14 week anniversary.

Jaffa Bump pain is a bitch - I had it bad with DD and can feel it creeping in now again. I am also beyond the hiding the bump stage and strangers are smiling at me in the street - I love that bit of being pregnant I really do. It's taken me so bloody long to get here I want every bastard to notice now - this is a long way for me even a month ago where I didn't want to tell anyone. I may be making progress. or I may be accepting that I can't hide it even if I want to but I will pretend it is progress.

TLM sorry you have had another frustrating cycle. I know it is easier said than done when you have limited supply of drugs but try and pin DH down not like that you dirty mares and chat to him about it. I know the pressure can get to them sometimes so best to use the kid gloves even when you want to slap/shag 7 barrels of shit out of them

Righto I best go. Dr Marth a little lick for you. x

Afternoon all! Sorry for silence this week - was away taking 19 14 year olds abroad on an educational trip (didn't mention before as was trying not to think about how stressful it would be but it turned out fine - phew!)

Lots going on this week. Big hugs for Martha . Cancer's the cuntiest cunt of them all.

Lovely to hear all the good scan news though, and really pleased for you pixie

Hi ladies, I know I dip in and out of here but I do lurk and keep up with all your stories!

wilde .. There was a new record of 6dpo set for POAS in Concption, so don't fret yourself hon. It probably only implanted yesterday or today so not enough Hcg yet!

state .. I make a pinky promise, here and now, not to use Facebook to announce anything because for all us ladies recovering from mc or metalling while pg after mc, it is a kick in the balls. I have not logged onto it for months for this very reason :(. Your SIL sounds like an arse.

squeaky mac .. Don't blush for extra scans hon. I fully intend to have a few if / when I get up duffed again. At £70 a pop I think they are money well spent. I am still a bit messed up about the whole baby was dead for 5 weeks before I knew scenario. Awful awful stuff. Congrats on the lovely string heartbeat. Womderful news.

tiagonay for movements. they are the best feeling!

Dpo7 here and I have promised myself not to test before Saturday .. Dpo13 .. So will keep lurking and let you know if there is any good news. as and when I get a new bean I would love to join in more but for now, my sanity needs me to take a break every now and again!
