Hi everyone

I've had another mc so back to ttc. Was very early this time - starting bleeding and passing clots yesterday and test had already gone -ve by yesterday afternoon. I don't think it ever really got going. I had a blood test to check hcg levels on Friday but I think it'll end up having been really low.

I had bought some conceive plus so going to try using that this month. Supposedly, you are very fertile after a mc so fx.

Lolcbcblemonlime · 23/09/2012 13:31

Hi woody. Sorry u find yourself back here but welcome back nonetheless. I can't imagine how devastated u must be. But on the plus side u seem to be very fertile.
I never test early for this very reason. May have done it this time by accident as I think my cycles still a bit messed up.
Have yours gone longer after mc?

woody17 · 23/09/2012 13:44

I'm not sure what's happened to them really. I think that there was something wrong with this one from the start. It just never felt right, lines on tests weren't going very dark etc.

I'm going to try and wait and test until I'm definitely at least a week late, possibly even two. It might mean that I make a few changes (avoiding alcohol and certain foods etc) but it might save some heartbreak. On the other hand, if I have one more then I'll be referred. And in a few weeks, I might not be able to resist poas!

I am really sad but I think because it didn't feel right and I was spotting before I even got the +ve, I just knew this was going to happen.

Lol - the numbers relate to the amount of grams of soy I'm taking :)

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 23/09/2012 15:06

Any sign of side effects at all, winkle?

SunshineOutdoors · 23/09/2012 19:08

woody I'm really sorry to hear your news. Take care of yourself

winkle2 · 23/09/2012 19:28

So sorry woody to hear your news :(

Nic - no side effects as yet.

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 23/09/2012 21:35

Sorry woody, it must be so sad and frustrating for you, look after yourself.

How's everyone else doing? anyone on the tww? I'm 6dpo and symptom spotting but nothing much to report apart from pressure down low and a bit of heartburn, but that could be down to excess wind and chocolate cake! Wink

redstrawberry · 23/09/2012 21:54

Winkle what do the soy isoflanes help with? I have heard some others mention it too on mn. Just curious. Hope you are doing okay x

Sorry woody Sad
I have had every conceivable early pregnancy symptom in my 2ww - lots of creamy cm, plenty of tugs and twinges, temperature dips around implantation time, lower back ache, heartburn, queasy retching even! Just think its a cruel joke if af turns up this month. The only thing missing is sore boobs! Been gropping my boobs Blush all week and nothing no tenderness at all! Weird!

redstrawberry · 23/09/2012 21:55

james can you tell me what heartburn feels like? I am not sure if its it my head!

winkle2 · 23/09/2012 21:56

Red it's supposed to help with releasing good strong eggs.

SunshineOutdoors · 23/09/2012 22:25

I'm in 2ww too. Don't know when to expect af but she should be here by this time next week at the latest really. Thought I'd oved earlier cos of when I saw ewcm but now I'm not so sure

weechops · 24/09/2012 08:24

James I'm 5dpo today. Had a really vivid dream last night that I was just about to give birth! I don't think I have any symptoms yet, maybe just a bit crampy. Im due to test next Tuesday but doubt I'll last that long!

resipsa · 24/09/2012 09:35

OMG. I go away for a week on holiday to get over the trauma of turning 42 and miss Kitty's news! Huge congrats!!! Grin

Hey everyone :)

woody so sorry that you're back here (in the nicest possible way of course)

winkle how is the soy working out for you?

nic sympathetic Angry at your SIL for you. It's a bugger isn't it. I really hate the kind of underground competitive nature of ttc. DH's brother got married in the summer and I live in genuine fear of the announcing a pg before we get to. Which is ridiculous, but it's a horrible feeling isn't it?

when/red any news?

No news from me, am CD4 and af almost gone now. Hoping for a proper cycle this month, none of that 25 day silliness again thank you very much.

RIBS · 24/09/2012 14:31

Welllll, so much for not obsessing this month!!! [pulling out hair emoticon] approx 7dpo. Sat at work, on my own, nothing to do at all - its dead. What better way to while away the hours than start to trawl the net for useless bits of info, im now worried im deficient in about 5 different vitamins, progesterone and im acidic. im driving myself crazy. FFS!

This is month 21 of TTC, I got pg for a couple of months last year. Im just dreading the anniversary of the 12 wk scan where the pregnancy failed, and its looming fast.

rep Hope you had a lovely hol.

Hi woody sorry your back here. [hugs]

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 24/09/2012 17:53

Ah, Kitten, that's exactly it, isn't it? They don't have a clue we are trying, so far as I'm aware, so I'm the only one in the competition, as it were.

So now, I just need to fall more quickly after our wedding than they did after theirs. I'm an idiot!

Fx for both of us.

Did you listen to The 2nd Law leak? I'm waiting til my copy comes next week!

Kittenkatzen · 24/09/2012 18:20

Yep nic I have come to the conclusion that TTC sends everybody completely loopy!

Oooh no I missed the leak where was that then? I did see that you can stream the whole album off the website from 8pm tonight though so might have a little sneak preview Grin am currently rediscovering hullabaloo on my way home from work Smile

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 24/09/2012 18:26

I wasn't entirely sane to start with!

And I'm not sure, pirate bay is one, apparently. I think streaming it later is a good plan. See if I can resist then :-)

I love Hullaballoo.

SunshineOutdoors · 24/09/2012 18:34

Oh no, the pressing my boobs so hard it hurts to see if they hurt when I press them has begun Grin

kittykatskumkwat · 24/09/2012 19:39

Thanks res- hope you had a really good holl's!!
Fx for sunshine and ribs and anyone else in the 2ww, any early poas ers still left??

stickybeans · 24/09/2012 19:44

Hello Ladies! May I join? I'm on my second cycle post mc in July. Ttc #1. Poas this morning but bfn. Af due on the 30th so hopefully it's just too early. Fx for everyone!!

SunshineOutdoors · 24/09/2012 19:50

hi stickybeans fx for you. 6 days before af sounds a bit early to me so I reckon you're still in. Good luck to you especially after m/c. You deserve a nice strong line and an uneventful pregnancy Smile

winkle2 · 24/09/2012 20:14

Welcome sticky!

stickybeans · 24/09/2012 20:17

Thank you Sunshine!!
Fx for you as well & everyone else ttc
