Thanks muchin i am sure I am not alone in having people ask questions thoughtlessly. I know there is no unkindness there just thoughtless.

cupcake hi glad the replies are helping, hope you are feeling good today.

kitty I am doing a little dance for you too. I was getting worried about your iron levels. Grin

babyjames · 26/08/2012 17:36

Welcome Cupcake :) Sorry for your loss. Good luck with your new TTC journey. I too had PND and am a little worried it will return.

A big hooray for KittyKats :) Enjoy your few days with DH ;) and also to Eire

Hope everyone is having a relaxing Bank Holiday weekend?

kittykatsforever · 26/08/2012 18:56

Yes I'm surprised I didn't get dizy after the dance Wink it was getting me down, just done a cheepy test although it was probably abit dilute given the bottles of beer I just had it is a very faint line, still visible but I think a few more days will see it disappear Smile

EireHead · 26/08/2012 19:32

Thanks, babyjames. DH (teacher) is back to work tomorrow, so may be tired!

Lolcbcblemonlime · 26/08/2012 21:14

I can feel your relief kitty. No bleeding and bfn is a blessing at this point!!
I'm on cd5. Planning all sorts of excuses for shag fest!

jessiethecowgirl · 27/08/2012 07:39

welcome cupcake. Good luck with TTC and sorry about your loss. You're in the right place! These ladies are a great support

yay kitty! happy the bleeding as stopped. Same for me! Stopped on Friday and DH and I were able to Dtd :) Did a quick hpt and had a very very very faint positive, but I'm sure that will dwindle over the next few days. Now the ov symptom spotting starts! Last month after MC I was able to feel quite strongly the OV pains, so will be looking out for them now! CD 7 here, the shag fest commences!

cupcake78 · 27/08/2012 08:26

Thanks everyone it's so nice to have people who have been there. Anxiety is sky high today and had a tear filled wobble last night, sure pmt has a lot to do with it!

Good luck to everyone who's ttc. Something I'm sure all of us appreciate how difficult the road to a baby can be

kittykatskumkwat · 27/08/2012 20:13

The bleeding came back Sad
Only abit ie one panty lines but back to red Sad when will it stop?

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 27/08/2012 20:17

kitty argh can't believe the bleeding has started again. Do you think it's worth a trip to the GP. I was kidding before when I said I was worried about your iron levels but now I am genuinely worried (hope you are taking your vits).

kittykatskumkwat · 27/08/2012 20:30

I'm taking the sanatagen mum to be which probably have it in, I have to ring the epu anyway ( was surposed to Thursday ) to say if I had a neg test, I've delayed it hoping the weekend would see an end to it all but no so I will mention it and await their advice tomoz , thanks for the concern when Smile

AlmondAvocado · 27/08/2012 21:04

Kitty sorry to hear about the bleeding! Hope the EPU can shed some light on it.

Cupcake hope you are feeling a bit better this evening.

Still no AF this end. Waiting, waiting, waiting! Might POAS again in the morning... Hmm

Lolcbcblemonlime · 27/08/2012 21:08

Love the new name kitty. Sorry u seem to be bleeding again Sad
Have u had a neg hpt yet?

kittykatskumkwat · 27/08/2012 21:50

No lol Sad
And I wasn't even that pregnant, I seem to have been miscarrying longer then I've been pregnant for!!
I was going to start cd1 as the day I felt mc happened, the heaviest red blood which I surpose still wasn't that heavy but definatly as it went wrong, that was the Monday night and confirmed thur with bloods down aswell but that was 15 days ago and I don't feel like I can be cd15 with still bleeding and a faint pos so feeling abit glum about that, I'm fed up of seeing it now and still feel like I have back ache so hoping its not infected/ incomplete?
Do you think this sounds excessive for only a 5 wks pregnancy? I was 8wks last time and was more blood but alot less time

Munchin · 27/08/2012 22:14

Oh kitty sorry to hear bleeding has returned. Defo get it checked to see if there is an infection. But more than likely there is no infection. You sound just the way it happened with me. As it was wearing off I'd get one day no bleeding, next day bleeding, then it would stretch to two days etc. my baby had stopped growing at 7+6.

Jessie glad your bleeding stopped. Roll on Ov!!!

Oh almond good luck poas tomorrow. Fx for you.

Liking all the new fruity names. Don't think there is much to go ith mine. Melon or mango????

Totally have lost it. I left my handbag behind me this evening when waiting for dh. When I realised I didn't have it I went back but it was gone. Wallet, cr cards yearly bus ticket etc etc. I have cancelled cards but I feel so stupid and annoyed.

Vixjane · 27/08/2012 22:41

Argh sorry to hear that the bleeding is back kitty, you should mention it to gp/epu to see if they could perhaps do another scan to see whats going on?

Fx for you tomorrow almond.

munch thats awful, there are some really horrible people in this world! Hopefully you'll get everything replaced quickly.

Welcome cupcake so sorry to hear about your loss.

Its been a bit of a manic weekend here! Was out doing skating with a new team yesterday approx 50 miles away from us and then bbq afterwards so it was a long day and today we've had a friend visiting as he was down south visiting family so he spent the afternoon here on his way back up north.

Anyone else feel like its a Sunday night? Feel like im gonna have my days mixed up all week!

AlmondAvocado · 28/08/2012 08:56

So I poas this morning and a BFN! CD31 and not pg and no AF. I know it's only just late but I'm so fed up of this WTF cycle. I had a little cry this morning Sad. I can't stop obsessing and don't feel u can move on until I get my AF. Sorry for the gloom this morning!

Munchin I vote mango!!! Do you like my new name?

suzydelarosa · 28/08/2012 10:10

kittykat I too had an mc at 5 1/2 weeks and I bled heavier but it was all over in about 4 days. It might be useful to take your temp or do the ov sticks just to see if you're body is back in cycle... Can't remember if you're doing that already.

Almond sounds like a miserable night. Its so hard to keep our spirits up all the time. When I had my 2nd mc of the year in July I started bleeding just before I had to do a big presentation at work, had to be all upbeat and chipper when I was cramping badly, had toilet paper stuck between my legs and was dying inside! The faces we have to put on to get through...!

Lolcbcblemonlime · 28/08/2012 13:14

I feel your pain almond. Mine arrived at cd35 and I was terrified it might take ages. So try not to panic easy to say
Kitten my hospital told me you can bleed for up to 6 weeks with no infection! I bled for about 16 days and was only 7 weeks when lost baby. How is it today? Heavy?

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 28/08/2012 13:18

Sorry you are in limbo land almond (good name change). Hope you feel better when af finally arrives.

AlmondAvocado · 28/08/2012 13:50

Lol thanks. I was trying to remember what day your AF came. I think I'm running a week behind you. My MC was a month ago tomorrow Sad. Hopefully AF shows up this week!

Suzy that sounds very brave of you!! I literally ran out of work!

I do feel like I need to suck it up a bit and get over it. My sister said something quite poignant to me today which was 'if you squeeze sand too hard it runs away between your fingers'. Must get some woosaa in my life but I'm the most up tight person in the worldWink!! Maybe chilling out will bring on AF then a BFP for Sep!!

suzydelarosa · 28/08/2012 17:16

almond, I am so uptight (as well!) that I don't even understand what the metaphor is about sand.... does it mean that if you overthink things then you lose them, or you just suck the joy out of them?

Cuz if that's the case I'm f*ed! (wink)

I dtd last night after I got a happy face on the Clearblue Test so my fingers are really crossed for this week. DP angry and feels he's on the chain gang and that he has to 'turn it on' at a moment's notice. Ah, the complaints of older people!!

kittykatskumkwat · 28/08/2012 18:45

Hi everyone loving all the name changes. Almond fx af arrives soon, my first one was cd33 but they say it will come between 4-6 wks,
I've had an amazing few days off, really enjoyed it although knackered!!
Dd bday party sunday was great and we've been swimming etc today so much fun for her, I'm spotting today abit of brown but not much, it's not bad at all it just there everyday which is why it's bugging, epu phoned me but I didn't hear my phone so will speak to them tomorrow, in the mean time going to dtd anyway tonight, if our parents never used to know they were pg or had mc they must have carried on dtd and my new af will be here before I get a chance if we don't hop to it, im not hopeful for this month but don't want to give it no chance at all Smile
Has anyone else done anything nice? X

MunchinMango · 28/08/2012 22:41

Thanks almond I went with your suggestion. ( liking your name)Hope it's lucky for us. Sorry about the bfn. I understand need for af to arrive o arrive so you can get on with ttc.

Wow Suzy i cant believe you had to work through your mc, that was one test of character. Imagine your dp feeling used you'd think guys would jump at excuse for frequent dtd.

Lol I wish my hospital had told me that. Would have saved a lot of anxiety. How are you?

Kitty glad you enjoyed your few days. Sorry the spotting is still there, it will go. Your right if you even think back to grandparents or before thy defo had no idea what was going on and did just that get on with it.

So I'm happy to report my bag has been returned to me intact. A lady saw it and rang my bank and left her contact details. Good o know there are decent people out there. I'm a bit apprehensive tonight as my dd has her first day of school tomorrow. I'm getting loads of your baby is gone comments. This is true I know but all I can think of is that I should have been due a baby into months time.

kittykatskumkwat · 29/08/2012 08:41

Munchin
Glad your bag was returned safe, obviously there are some decent people left out there!
Hard times this month then with a milestone ahead, it's really difficult isn't it and I guess we will all still look back and think, they would have been 1 this year or going to school now etc etc
I think it will ease but never truly go x

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 29/08/2012 08:59

muchin those comments must be really painful to hear. I hope you are feeling strong. Good news about the bag though.

kitty really really hope the bleeding stops today.

suzy how the hell did you get through work during your mc? I am so impressed.
