I get subsidised gym membership through work, but go to a branch near home. I love yoga, mainly the lying down and breathing bit at the end Grin I thought I was pg 3 days before I POAS because I wax rubbish in my Saturday morning class. I'm sitting them out until I'm through my 12 week scan, but really enjoy my saturday morning lie-ins now miss it Grin

*was not wax!

Hi ladies hope you are all well - very jealous of the holiday I have to wait another 3 1/2 weeks for mine.

Well I'm 8 weeks tomorrow and have my scan at 8 in the morning Hmm am worried they are going to say its all in my mind and there is nothing there.

Pregnancy feels different this time and touch wood fingers crossed and all that, I have passed the time I mc'd in April. And BOY do I have sore boobies Blush they are waking me up if I turn over in my sleep yawn lol.

Have a draft of the stats to go on the mosh pit but please update yours on here if you are ready and haven't already!

Slips away lol not Alps - bloody iPad.......

ConfusedMumDotCom · 16/07/2012 20:30

Hi Pixie waves my boobs are soooo sore. I don't remember them hurting so much with my last pregnancies. I'm 7 weeks tomorrow, I've got my scan on Tuesday, so if I'm brave enough I'll add my stats then. Good luck tomorrow.

oo00PIXIE00oo · 16/07/2012 20:33

Ooh confused good luck x

ConfusedMumDotCom · 16/07/2012 20:57

Sorry, meant Thursday Blush

Polka2 · 17/07/2012 07:56

pixie very good luck, hope the scan goes well today.

wilde hope time isn't dragging too much.

Morning ladies, lays out hot pot of tea and pain au chocolat Wink

gothinrecovery · 17/07/2012 09:03

Pixie fingers crossed for the scan, I hope it all goes well.

wilderumpus · 17/07/2012 09:13

pixie good luck today x

gothinrecovery · 17/07/2012 13:06

Well it's not my month as the witch has just arrived. I am now 2 months post MC and was just hoping I could catch again quickly given my age. :(

I am however baffled as this was only CD26 (I guess now CD1) and I never have cycles of less than 28 days, it is always either 28 or 29 without fail.

Is this just post MC hormonal weirdness or would a chem pg sometimes lead to coming on early? I am trying not to think of the really horrible alternative answer (cycles starting to go awry due to age).

wilderumpus · 17/07/2012 13:32

I'm sorry goth chuck. Definitely put it down to post mc weirdness. My cycles have been out by a couple of days here and there (shorter by two/three days actually, like you) but this is def post-mc stuff. Takes about three months to settle I heard.

Do you do opks or anything so you don't miss ov? or maybe start the sex good and early Wink

I don't know, but I would say not to worry about any other factors yet. Just mc weirdness x

JaffaSnaffle · 17/07/2012 14:29

Pixie, hope you had a good scan today.

Goth, I think it is probably post mc weirdness. If it carries on, it might be an idea to start on some B vitamins, which are supposed to be good at getting you cycle back on track and lengthening your luteal phase (2nd half of cycle post ovulation).

Today is the day my baby hits viability ,( by scan date anyway). I never thought it would come. And although it still seems like a long time until Nov, it is nice to know that we stand a chance now...

I have been having quite a hard time recently. It was around this time last year my mmc baby died, but we didn't find out until August. I have had such a shit year, and thinking about this time last year seems really poignant, because we were so happy then.

Waves hi to everyone! X

Sheldonella · 17/07/2012 14:38

Hi everyone, I have namechanged - was HeeHeeHeeBum.
pixie Hope all is well.
goth My cycles were a couple of days shorter too, must me the mc. I have seen a couple of ladies say it sorts itself out after 3 or so and I think that was the case for me. I second Jaffas suggestion about the B vitamins. I took B6 on cycle 4 and didn't get the spotting I'd been having early in previous cycles.
Lovely news about yout baby Jaffa, you give me hope :) Sorry to hear what you've been through.
I am having a panicky, overwhelmed couple of days. I don't know whether to have an early scan or not - I want to see that everything is ok but I don't know if I can put myself through another internal scan after the trauma of last time. I haven't told anyone else but I both want to tell me parents and not want to talk about it. I wish I could hibernate for about 7 weeks.

twolittlemonkeys · 17/07/2012 14:52

Hi Sheldonella - are you a fan of TBBT by any chance?

goth sorry to hear AF got you too.

Well AF arrived (finally) over the weekend. TBH I'm feeling really torn about continuing ttc. I get so emotionally invested each cycle, and I don't even know if the Clomid is working any more (last cycle 47 days so I think not). If I do want to continue, I will need to go back to the GP for a re-referral Hmm DH seems less keen now he has realised how big a gap there would be between DS2 and a third DC - DH is close to his 2 older brothers (2 and 4 years older than him) but never really felt close to his younger brother (6 yrs younger) as he felt they were never into the same things at the same time.

I hate the broody feeling I get when I see a gorgeous newborn, and even older babies and toddlers make me wish I had another and I find myself thinking that if I hadn't MCd the first time I would now have an 18 month old/ if I hadn't MCd the second time I would now be heavily pregnant etc... Just went to see one of DH's friends and his wife is due around Christmas. Am happy for them but feeling all the more sorry for myself. Now the stress of DS2's school appeal is over, I seem to be getting more stressed about ttc #3 - it's as if I have to find something else to fret about. AAaargh! Angry

Sorry for the wallowing. Got to get back to reality. Day 2 of the summer holidays and the DC are already at each others' throats. Maybe I should think of how much more stressful the holiday disagreements would be if a third DC were thrown into the mix! Why do I want to add to it? Grin I have no answers, but I just do! (Clearly I am insane)

wifey6 · 17/07/2012 17:25

is it ok to come back? Have missed you lovely ladies.

CAH2012 · 17/07/2012 17:36

Hello!
Finally something positive has happened! I stopped bleeding from my D&C after 2 weeks, and then yesterday morning- tadahhhh- i got my period! So happy that it happened normally and it wasnt too much of a wait, although it is SO heavy i am changing pads every hour! I'm assuming this is normal?
I have my appointment with Gyno on Thurs morning to go through test results of foetus, bit scared about that... and not sure what to expect... has anyone here had the testing done?

gothinrecovery · 17/07/2012 17:47

Thanks for the advice everyone. It sounds as though it is post MC weirdness and I am not alone. Feel very flat though - I just want to be pregnant again ASAP but at my age (just turned 43) I know there are no guarantees.

As to the B vits - I went to Holland & Barrett and they said they wouldn't advise them if I was already taking the pre conception multivits (which I am?)

Jaffa hooray for viability, glad all is well. Twolittlemonkeys - sending hugs.

Has anyone heard from Pixie? I hope she is okay.

Quicksie · 17/07/2012 18:52

Goth definitely post MC weirdness...I have heard 3 cycles too.
Jaffa great news - your post made me smile.
Cah nice one, it is good to know things are getting back on track isn't it. Heavy is normal - but keep an eye on it (like you would do otherwise at the moment! Stupid Quicksie) if it gets heavier or you feel dizzy, ring GP or NHS advice line. Loads of people report much heavier than usual though.
Wifey welcome back!
Two maybe you need a break from it, just some head space? I know what you mean about the age gap, but my DP is ten years younger than his next sib and they get on really well.
sheldonella (nice name change by the way) the early scan is a scary thought, my EPU said to come in for one when I get a BFP but I am not sure how keen I would be to get up on the bed again and hold my breath until they say something positive! Burying head in sand seems like an attractive prospect!
Hi to everyone else I haven't namechecked - I am rubbish. Last week of term stuff at work and feeling sad about taking all the work and displays down...I am the ridiculous sad teacher who misses the kids over the summer!

lurcherlover · 17/07/2012 20:08

Goth, my cycles are all over the place too and I'm currently having a short one by the looks of things - I reckon it will be a 28 day one going by when I ov'd (I think - wasn't using opks, this is based on cm). I'm usually 30-34 days. I am wondering if I might be pg though (see my other thread about poas stupidly early and not being sure if I got an evap line or faint bfp...). Going to test on thurs am, but if it is positive I will be panicking as I've had some spotting this week which I've never had before in pregnancy.

Quicksie · 17/07/2012 20:51

lurcher could it be implantation?

Dorita75 · 17/07/2012 21:38

Here are my stats Age 37 mmc in Feb no dc yet, ttc

Goth, yes normal to have strange cycles. I am 26 days, settled down after first wtf one but strangely this month was 29 days, I had a smear so wonder if that affected things. Knew I wasn't pg as dp found a lump and we had a month off while he was getting tests and I had my smear.

Quicksie · 17/07/2012 21:47

Are you alright now Dorita? Sounds like you have been having a shite time of it.

Midgetm · 17/07/2012 21:57

Evening all.

Jaffa big mosh pit high five to viability. Let the metalling reduce.

wifey hello there.

No time to catch up, on my phone and just about to pass out in front of 2012 but big waves to everyone. lurcher having had similar to this in my wtf and actually conceiving I would poas just to make sure.

twolittlemonkeys · 18/07/2012 04:23

Well as I seem to be wide awake at stupid o'clock in the morning, I'll just put out breakfast while I'm here before I attempt to get a couple of hours sleep

I think I will probably take a break, at least for this cycle, and give myself time to consider what to do for the best.

Dorita sounds like you've had a worrying month or two. Hope everything is ok now.

Off to try to get a bit of sleep now. Good job I don't need to be particularly lucid for anything tomorrow... apart from looking after DC Confused
