Hi, thought I'd start the new thread. This is a brilliant thread for anyone trying to conceive or who has got a bfp after mc, full of lovely ladies, fab advice and a lovely place to metal, so called because someone said metal instead of mental and the rest is history......

Great news, pebs And even better that you'll have regular scans too.

Lurcher how did you get on?

Martha how are you getting on back at work? Even though I thought I was ready to go back after nearly 3 weeks off, my brains were scrambled eggs & I struggled with concentration/memory/decision-making.

Am 6 weeks-ish - just wishing time would go faster. Am keeping busy so managing to take my mind off obsessing about m/c!!

Partner are TTC. Very exciting!
I have done midwifery for nearly two years but I'm sure I'll really benefit from tips from you guys! X

Welcome to the mosh pit Jodi

Lovely to hear your good news pebs one step further in the game of snakes and ladders that is this baby making business. Really pleased for you. Grin

Any news from Lurcher? Thinking of you.

lurcherlover · 27/09/2012 21:12

Evening ladies Smile

Scan was fine! Saw our little wriggler jumping away. I was so terrified I was crying before she started, and then was crying in relief...a bonus too that they put me a week further on, so I'm 11+4. Almost 12 weeks!

Pebs, I'm so glad yours went well too. Lovely to see nice news. Jodie, welcome to the thread. When was your miscarriage? Good luck with the ttc.

Just brilliant! Congratulations!!

wilderumpus · 27/09/2012 22:07

just popping back in to say hollar and saw your newses lurcher and pebs what fabulous news :) :)

holiday was fablass and completely exhausting! am actually glad to be home, but then I think that is a sign of a good break isn't it. Pregnancy just been plodding along, making itself very noticable in general sickiness which has turned into actual terrible morning nausea until just after lunch when it vanishes. I never had ms at all with DS so this is very weird to me. V sore boobs, very full, great pot going on that will not fit into any of my jeans any more (maternity at 7 weeks anyone?! say i can?!) hungry, grumpy, crying at pop songs so all GREAT and then this morning I wipe and have peachy/browny cm :( wtf. and terrible, terrible cramping until lunchtime then woomph it was all gone and am still feeling very pg. I hope it is one of those thing and have almost forgotton about it. thought i was going to mc on the plane home :( metal, metal, metal. will ring drs in the morning... what do you guys think? arf. today am 6+6 too which is the date I had the scan with my mc-pg which showed the empty sac. Hate 6+6.

i hope everyone is well. will read through thread proper in a min and really ought to sleep! Thanks

wilderumpus · 27/09/2012 22:18

ps: martha I hope you are doing ok x

yay to movements backward!

good luck lots, if it helps any I had a blighted ovum for 10 weeks and had the worst symptoms ever. so sick and such bad headaches. the placenta chucks out the hormones so baby or no, you may well still feel very pg. so no symptoms does NOT equal no baby! :) today you are pregnant :)

arf I stopped taking my aspirin two weeks ago as I forgot to take it on hols and DH could only find 500mg tabs in Italy! and the wanky dr said not to take them. should i start taking them again do you think - am so sure I have held onto this one beyond conception because of it... could just be coincidence tho... would it do any harm?

night peeps :)

Dorita75 · 28/09/2012 07:12

Yay to pebs and lurcher Brilliant news!

Welcome jodi

I'm in need of a hug good shake. AF was due last Monday 24th, no signs of making an appearance all week in Tallinn, get home yesterday and have done 3 tests (most recent this morning) All Negative. And now, after a quick sweep with a tissue, there's pink blood near my cervix. Know it's AF. Go away, I don't want you.

Am a regular 25day cycle girl and today is day 30. I hate that I got my hopes up despite trying not too. Was imagining telling my family and 3 friends who have had mc and are all pregnant.

Pissedoff.com Sad but need to be positive for my own sanity.

Hi everyone, my Internet has been playing up so just poping in quickly while it's working!

Congratulations on the scan pebs

I'm 20+2 today, next scan is on Monday. It was a year today that Jacob was born so feeling a little miserable.

Hope everyone is ok x

Huge hugs for dorita AF is a real bitch and sometimes (always) her timing can be sooooo cruel.

moomin tough day Hun, raise a glass of something sparkling in memory to the wee manWink

Great scan news ladies!

AFM dtd like a crazy woman, god I hope we get a bfp soon or I have to start IVF in jan which I'm completely dreading.

I'll leave you lovely ladies some Friday fizz and snacks, I'm off to the pub for some grub with my dh-first time in months we've been out as he's been so busyWink

backwardpossom · 28/09/2012 19:58

Lots of love to you, moomin x

MarthasHarbour · 28/09/2012 20:51

evening all, just jumping on to give moomin the biggest scrunchy cuddle. i saw your post on another thread this week and i knew that Friday was Jacobs birthday. Big hugs and lots of love from Casa Martha xxxxxxxxx

Dorita i have a hug for you too. I have had this before, i am a regular 27 day cycle and get really Angry when it occasionally runs a few days over.

Apologies that i havent fully caught up. I have had a really busy week, i went back to work and did reduced hours, which would be nice if i didnt still have to do all the work which is allocated to me over four days, and although my colleagues have been amazing keeping my work afloat i still have 3 weeks worth of backlog to clear Angry

The hospital had their ceremony for Jack on Tuesday, we didnt go and i felt so guilty for not going, but then if i had gone i know i would have felt odd being at a 'joint funeral'. I dont think i could have done right for doing wrong...

anyway, DH has gone to the pub so i am awaiting Mr Domino of Pizza Land to arrive. I shall try to catch up over the weekend

JaffaSnaffle · 29/09/2012 08:05

moomin, I am sorry I missed yesterday. I am giving you a good morning hug instead, armed with chocolate and breakfast stodge. Anniversaries are so very hard, remembering the sadness of the event and mourning the loss. I hope you are feeling better today, but have a lovely weekend in whatever way you can.

pebs and lurcher, great news on the scans. pebs, I know you'll still be metalling on, I know what it's like when you have mc'ed post nt scan. At times, I felt like I was worse after the scan, like I was in my own private danger zone, ( and I had the Cvs saga). But there were times when I was able to tell myself that my overall background risk was falling, even if my own history did not match that.... Don't know if this helps at all, just know you are not in an easy place, ( which is gutting when for most women, including my naive old self, it is when things become certain). Xxx

Martha, big hugs to you brave lady. I hope that the passing of a little bit of time, with a bit of normal life chucked in has helped you a tiny bit. For me, time didn't heal, I'm still trying to get to that point, but it did slowly numb things down a lot. I also weirdly found the change of season helped, and I spent a lot of time with my DD on autumn walks, finding conkers, then eating a lot after. (any excuse for a greedy old snaffler like me). Anyway, I'm thinking of you too.

dorita, I'm sorry about AF, bad enough anyway, without giving you false hope.

Jodie and any other new ladies, welcome and I'm sorry fir your losses.

I'm stupidly metalling about movements. I cannot tell you how much I want her to be born. My body is pretty wrecked now; heartburn; bad hips; diahorrea;, no proper sleep, but these are not what bother me. I want my mind back. I want to stop the paranoia, and be able to be me again. I've got between 4 and 8 weeks to go...

As for work, try not to be too consciencious, whatever you achieve at there is a bonus right now.

JaffaSnaffle · 29/09/2012 08:07

My message to Martha has got scrambled. That last para was for you Martha x

babyjamesblackberrycrumble · 29/09/2012 09:38

Hi there (peeps head around corner)
Please may I join. Brew You all seem a lovely lot. Sorry for your losses and congratulations to those currently carrying special cargo.
I had a MC last month and after an emotional 43 days have another BFP yesterday. I have convinced myself it's a chemical or an eptopic as having slight pressure low down left side and internet cheap tests not even showing pregnant. I got a 1-2 weeks on clear blue digital and the IC are meant to be more sensitive. Feel so worried.
