Hi allSmile

We are back on the TTC wagon... 10th times a charm right?Hmm

Found out SIL is accidentally and joyfully with child... On finding out the news my first reaction was happiness... Swiftly followed by my brain kicking in and punching me in the guts with its not meSad I hate MCSad I can't just simply be happy for my lovely SIL who is going to be a fantastic mum... We now have another to add to the cunt list...Cancer and MC are cunts in armsSad

Thank you for your replies - midget I had a long chat with her today. She wanted to know what to expect, how long the bleeding would last, should they wait before trying etc. I was really pleased to be able to answer her. She didn't have a particularly good experience with the mc scan appointment, so I reassured her about that too.

marbles agreed. C and MC are C-i-A.

Off on holiday early tomorrow morning in search of sun, sand and swimming pool... have a safe couple of weeks everyone.

Polka2 · 10/07/2012 18:40

marbles your most definately right cancer and MC are C I A, my dads got cancer and I naively thought my pregnancy news shared with my family in Jan would give everyone some nice news to think about, oh,until my bloody mmc in march....... Definately c*nts!Wink

Tiago · 10/07/2012 20:39

ice I'm glad you were able to help her. It is good to have someone to talk to in rl about MC.

midget congratulations on viability. I am 23 weeks today so not far behind you (and paranoid as hell). I ended up coming home from work at lunch today as the stress of being so close, plus tiredness, plus the fact that I keep overheating was just too much!

Congratulations on your scan too martha - we will all get there!

StateofConfusion · 10/07/2012 21:06

Big hug marbles cancer and mc are indeed C I A, both so cruel, pointless and unecessary. They both alter the lives of the people left behind.

Its lovely you can help ice

Well I had my 16wk check today, everything is just fine, baby wriggling and we seem to be doing well, won't see a mw until 28wks now!!! That seems aaages! Do have a scan un august but I do feel a bit abandoned this pregnancy when I could really use the reasurance. Thank goodness for you lot Grin

StateofConfusion · 10/07/2012 21:07

Oh and congrats to martha :) x

twolittlemonkeys · 10/07/2012 22:06

State that's great news that your scan went well.

Marbles - I know that feeling - was gutted when SIL told me she was pg (first month of trying of course) when we'd been struggling with fertility probs for ages. I hate that my first reaction when somebody announces a pregnancy is Envy not :) I do want to be happy for them and I manage to come round to the idea eventually but that pang of jealousy and resentment is hard to cope with.

Enjoy your holiday ice

I'm off to bed now Got more cheapy HPTs so might POAS in the morning just for the hell of it (and because it's CD40-something and I have sore boobs) Night!

Quicksie · 10/07/2012 22:51

Icequeen have a lovely holiday - I am so jealous!
Tiago and State hang in there...you are doing well! Having half a day off work is nothing to be ashamed of, call it a downpayment on your maternity leave!
Cah the WTF cycle is something they don't seem to mention at the EPU/hospital/GPs. Bleed for up to two weeks then expect your period 4 - 6 weeks afterwards?! Yeah right! And all the other stuff that happens in the meantime that makes you feel like you are falling to bits?! I guess they don't want to kick you when you are down, but I wish they had given me a few clues. Thank f*ck for mumsnet!

ConfusedMumDotCom · 11/07/2012 07:17

Morning all.

I called the EPU about getting a reassurance scan yesterday. The nurses were so lovely and told me I didn't need a GP referral, I can just walk in once I'm 7 weeks. So DH and I are going next Thursday when I'm 7+2. I even sent off my antenatal referral form too. This is getting a bit real now, so I had a mini freak out and booked a GP appointment for next Friday incase it is bad news and I need a referral for an EPRC.

Moominsarescary · 11/07/2012 08:52

marbles yes to mc and c being a cunt. Dfil died new years day last year due to complications with treatment. Ds3 is named after him. I also want to add incompetant cervix to the list.

ice enjoy your holiday

midget congrats on the 24 weeks, over half way there already!

confused glad you can self refer for the reassurance.

I've started to mettle about having the stitch now, and when to tell ds1 and if I should tell ds2 before viability, which is 23 weeks here

Quicksie · 11/07/2012 20:49

Where are you Moomin?

StateofConfusion · 11/07/2012 20:59

Good luck confused, glad you can self refer, reassurance in the early days is so vital, I still don't know how I got through those 6 weeks between bfp and scan.

Moominsarescary · 11/07/2012 21:15

I'm in Nottingham

wilderumpus · 12/07/2012 10:49

yay for your wriggly baby state :)

good luck for next thursday confused. am so glad you can self refer.

aw marbles, totally totally understand.

polka sorry to hear about your Dad :( One of my dear friends has cancer. It is a cunt. And sorry to hear about your FIL moomin.

Well, onto more trivial matters, Blush sex week chez wilde is non existent! Erk. DH is waaaaay stressed with this presentation he has to do tomorrow at work and is not sleeping let alone dtd! is ok tho, according to usual cycles I shouldn't ov till tues so can still bonk all weekend. I really wanted to dtd eod this month though, and have strong ov signs (sore boobs, spots, lots of ewcm) and is sooo annoying not being to DO anything! Oh if only I could inseminate myself . OPK is neg for today so at least I know I am not ov'ing imminently and can try and think about something else Grin

justwantababy!

squeakymac · 12/07/2012 17:10

Sorry haven't been posting but have been keeping an eye on things via iPhone - things settling down after crazy few days moving house, new job.....yick.

All fine here wilde laughing at your 'non-existent sex' I have less than no interest, poor DH. At its worst I feel nauseated when he kisses me Blush
Hope this goes otherwise he's in for a miserable few months....

Also not feeling the most attractive as my tummy is definitely 'out' not a bump as such but far from flat....at only just 11 weeks, ick. On a brighter note, I'm doing a taught masters and found out I got an 'A' on an assigment I did while having my MC last March - definitely thought I had bombed it so yay! So writing up while on mat leave may not be so unrealistic after all Hmm

icequeen sorry about your SIL she's so lucky to have you to chat to. Does she know about your BFP?

midget and tiago yay for viability Smile

state congrats on your scan! and confused hope you get some reassurance its amazing that they said just to walk in for a scan.

Gotta go....to argos to buy ironing board which apparantly isn't part of a 'furnished' house - I miss my own nice house!

StateofConfusion · 12/07/2012 17:49

squeaky your dp and mine could start a support group, I've abandoned many an intimate moment due to wretching and gagging, I just need my space it seems Blush

Quicksie · 12/07/2012 21:13

moomin me too!

Can't wait for the weekend now, wtf cycle now extended to three months.... I am exhausted and fed up of buying sanitary products. Our local shop must think I am mental.

squeaky well done on your masters project. nice one!

Moominsarescary · 12/07/2012 22:05

Quicksie small world! I've just moved from Gedling to mapperley. Hope the wtf cycle settles soon

There is no intimacy here either. Sickness is all day long but defenatly gets worse as the day goes on. I spend most of my time after dp gets home with my head down the loo!

I phoned the mw today, she hadn't got the note from my doctor surprise surprise. Had to go through abit of my pg history over the phone. Will have to go into it in more detail next Thursday which I hate

lurcherlover · 13/07/2012 08:38

Morning all. Am metalling a bit... I had my erpc in May and had a five-week WTF cycle afterwards - but it ended in a normal AF, so then I thought I was back on normal cycles. But today is cd20 and I've started spotting. My cycles are normally 30-35 days so it's way too early for AF. Do you think I've had a freakishly short cycle or is there any chance it's implantation bleeding?

Has anyone had really short cycles following mc? I'm assuming if that's what it is I won't have ovulated. Just want to be back to normal! Sad

StateofConfusion · 13/07/2012 09:40

After my erpc, and the initial wtf where I just got spotting instead of proper af, I fell into perfect 28 day cycle! Never had that before!

My erpc was december 2011, I'm now 4 months pregnant. So shorter cycles didn't make a difference for me.

HeeHeeHeeBum · 13/07/2012 09:59

Morning ladies, been a while since I've posted on this thread, been too busy, but I have been lurking :)
confused Your EPU sounds great, I hope your scan reassures you. I wish mine was like that, they do anything to avaoid scanning unfortunately.
squeaky That is amazing doing well on you masters while having a mc. I was doing an OU course when I had mine and never got to handing it in.
lurcher Hope it's implantation. I had bleeding like that for it.
Well, I'm very panicky today :( I'm about 5 weeks now and had a tiny tiny bit of bleeding last night - really tiny, like from a pin prick. I don't know what to do. It hasn't happened again today. Could it still be implantation at this point? I could cry :(

pebspop · 13/07/2012 14:20

hi ladies

just dropping in to say i am off on hols today! see you all in a week - i might pop in if there is free wifi at the hotel but otherwise i will be swi so do not disturb! managed to get dh on board with ttc, he is still scared but i suppose we always will be. just got to get on with these things.

should ov sun/mon so will see what happens. my spotting problems seem to have cleared up so i am hoping for good things.

wild - get that dh sorted out!! this could be our cycle!

pebspop · 13/07/2012 14:22

heehee a tiny pinprick doesn't mean mc. have you had sex recently - it could be from something like that.

i don't think epu will do much for you at 5 weeks but try ringing them and they may bring you in for a scan at 6 weeks.

wilderumpus · 13/07/2012 14:32

happy hols pebs! and have lots of lovely SWI! I am out this month, ov has come early and with DH's work we haven't be dtd :( Will ov tomorrow and DH won't make a baby on friday 13th! Am gutted, really am but trying to think about how it will be good for the soul to have a month off symptom spotting and i will probably get more work done.

sorry not to namecheck properly am on the run.

hee am sure is ok chuckie

lurcher seems that my cycles have gone from 32 to 29 days post mc so it can change!

pebspop · 13/07/2012 14:39

oh no wilde can you not dtd tomorrow?

i might be joining you next month if it's not a one cycle wonder this time!
