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!

Fantastic new bugger so pleased for you, have you had any more brown spotting? Sounds like it was just the sex then. You are very brave to wait until 12 weeks :)

Yay for confused

CheapTarnishedGlitter · 26/06/2012 10:53

Heartbeats and BFPs?!? Waaahhhooooo!

So pleased for you both bugger and confused :)

Hello ladies, do you mind if I lurk along here for a while? I miscarried last week, went for 12 week scan and there was no heartbeat. Opted for medical management, I'm sure you all know how horrible it was. I am still bleeding, have no idea how long this will last, nor when I'll be fertile again. I am due at the hospital for a follow-up appointment on Friday.

I don't know what any of these abbreviations mean - I know dpo and BFP but what are 2WW, BESH, CM, and WTF (thought I knew that one, but doesn't seem right in context)?

wilderumpus · 26/06/2012 11:18

wow wee what a morning! congratulations confused that is super news! and wow wee bugger am so very happy for you; I logged on special to see how you were :) YAY!

state sounds like stretchy wombyness to me, lovely bumpy starting to grow!

I think I might be the last on this thread to get a BFP! am out this month, bfn this morning and due on tomorrow. am ok though, what will be will be and we didn't even try this month, just had the sex at the right time once and ten days of shitty fucking PMT! It will be ok.

yay for BFPs and growing babies!

wilderumpus · 26/06/2012 11:21

hey donkey! so sorry to see you here. But welcome, welcome. I had medical management too but thought it was ok (I was utterly dreading it). Afterwards the whole thing hit me like a train though.

2ww - 2 week wait after ovulation
BESH - is another thread of barren bastard over 30s ladies who dare to have a career and have knackered their eggs in the proceess (according to the daily mail)
CM - cervical mucus
WTF - what the fuck month - the cycle after your miscarriage (mc)

hope you are looking after yourself, is a completely shitty awful thing. x

JaffaSnaffle · 26/06/2012 11:34

Hurray for bugger and confused! Two lots of lovely news! X

donkey, I had medical management after my first mc. I bled hard fie 2-3 days, period like bleeding for a further week, and then about 5 days of light bleeding. Unfortunately, I had retained products, so just when I thought it was over, some more bleeding came back. I don't know how common that is. It will be something they will monitor you for though. So sorry you are going through this, it is very tough and sad x

DonkeyTeapot · 26/06/2012 11:35

Thanks wild - so I was right about WTF then :)

I had the scan follwed by medication on Monday afternoon, was due to go back to hospital on Wednesday morning but it all kicked off Tuesday evening. I had expected bleeding but it was so heavy, to the point where I couldn't leave the bathroom as I was flooding pad after pad. I started to panic as it just wasn't letting up, so DP took me to the hospital and I stayed there the rest of the night.

So, I guess this is my WTF month. I will just have to see how it goes for the next few weeks, after bleeding stops. Hope that's soon.

Congratulations to those with happy news, I hope I'll be joining you before too long!

DonkeyTeapot · 26/06/2012 11:38

Thanks Jaffa as well. They scanned me on Weds morning before I left hospital, they didn't think there was any retained product, just a bit of blood. Thanks for the info about bleeding, it is getting less, I'd just like it to clear off and stop now!

wilderumpus · 26/06/2012 11:51

my bleeding lasted for about a week but wasn't too bad donkey but I think I was lucky. Sorry to hear it was so worrying for you, sounds awful x

gothinrecovery · 26/06/2012 13:09

bugger and confused - that is brilliant news! Logged on to see how you were getting on.

Sore head for me today, still on AF so had a tad too much to drink last night Blush. Wine Completely lost the alcohol tolerance while pg and therefore not drinking and still seem to be affected by it more post mc.

Jollyb · 26/06/2012 13:41

Wow fantastic news for buggerlugs and confused.

Ms Rumpus - there is still a chance for your BFP, will cross my fingers for you. I fear I may be out this month too - I caved and tested at both 10 and 11 DPO. Both BFN. I've now got lower abdo ache and feel like I'm coming on. I'm staying out tonight and so won't be able to get to my sticks until at least 13 DPO which is a blessing.

This is a new frustration for me - I got pregnant immediately after coming off the pill with my daughter and then too with both miscarriages . We had sex so many bloody times too. Now I'm paranoid there's something wrong down there.

Have a lovely sunny afternoon everyone.

Jollyb · 26/06/2012 13:44

I meant to say hello and commiserations to donkey teapot. You'll get lots of support here. Wishing you a speedy recovery x

wilderumpus · 26/06/2012 14:13

aw thanks jolly but I had a wee bit of spotting just now so am on AF watch now. ttc mantra

HOWEVER, I am totally with you in being miffed jolly! I got pg while technically still on the pill with DS and concieved 5 days after a random sex sesh! amazing :) Expected to be like that this time but no... Though only properly tried one month once realised we have to put a bit of effort it Blush and did make another bubs that I mc'ed... so think 'yay am fertile!' and expect it to just happen again Blush but obviously need to put effort in again! I just hate SWI though. But then, if you want to create actual LIFE I suppose you have to try a bit?!?!

We will make our babies jolly, never fear.

wilderumpus · 26/06/2012 14:14

ooh lots of bold 'jolly's'! is like am shouting at you! more blushing... Blush

leedy · 26/06/2012 14:28

Brilliant news, buggerlugs and confused! and welcome donkeyteapot! Sorry you have to be here, but it is a good place to be.

(as a BESH aside, was just on an Elsewhere On The Internet, where someone was hand-wringing over the number of births to women over 35 in Ireland because of the "dozen of different risks and sicknesses possible to the child due to woman?s age" and the fact that the mothers "will never know their grandchildren". When not being "mistaken for grandmothers at the school gates". eyeroll)

backwardpossom · 26/06/2012 17:58

Welcome to the thread donkey - obviously sorry you are here, but tis a lovely thread and everyone has great advice. I bled for just over a week after my mmc, it was heavy to begin with, but was very light the last few days. I then had a period exactly 28 days after the medical management...

bugger Yay to heartbeat! Grin

This 2WW nonsense is driving me potty.

Jollyb · 26/06/2012 18:05

No worries about the shouting wild- I'm rather jealous as ha en't worked put how to bold type on phone!

squeakymac · 26/06/2012 20:43

Yay for BFP confusedmum Smile

Welcome donkey sorry to hear about the MC - hope you can get back on the TTC wagon whenever you feel up to it

I made an appointment with an obstetrician (got a recommendation as am moving cities the second week of July Sad) as didn't want to wait too long in case I couldn't get in with him, so its all feeling very very real now.... ....

ConfusedMumDotCom · 26/06/2012 21:45

Thank you everyone for the kind messages. You guys. wipes tears from eye. I'm still in a state of shock and denial.

Welcome Donkey. Sorry you find yourself here, but everyone is really supportive and knowledgeable.

Wilde sorry this wasn't your month. Have a large Wine for me.

Sorry I haven't name checked everyone, this thread has been flying along today!

Midgetm · 26/06/2012 22:12

Tired and old so just popped on to say Grin to bugger and confused. Of course the midget doctor knew this all along but good to have a second opinion. Congratulations ladies. Today we are pregnant.

Welcome Donkey you will be well looked after here.

Must sleep off all these cupcakes hard life

DonkeyTeapot · 26/06/2012 22:15

Thanks everyone :) I am obviously sad about the MC but have one DD already and no reason to think this was anything other than "one of those things". So we'll be trying again soon, but my birthday is next month so I won't mind if I'm not pregnant by then - Wine Wine Wine !!!

kirrinIsland · 26/06/2012 22:22

Congratulations bugger and confused - that's fantastic news:)

Welcome donkey - sorry you find yourself here but it's a great thread, lots of support.

I've just been swimming for the first time in ages so I'm retiring to bed. It's our last day at work tomorrow (our office is closing) so I've done nothing but eat cake all day, and tomorrow won't be much better! I really should be cutting down but this doesn't seem like the best week to do it....

StateofConfusion · 26/06/2012 23:57

Great news bugger

Booo for the bfn wilde

A welcome to donkey this thread saves my insanity daily.

Had my triple test yesterday, and was brave and got a blanket today

StateofConfusion · 26/06/2012 23:58
