TTC after recent mc - Thread 2

[woody17]

Hi everyone - I've started the new thread as our original one is nearly full.

I really hope that this is the one where we all get our BFPs and don't have to experience any more heartache.

James I got my BFP last time on an opk (wasn't expecting it!). Problem with opks is the lines are subjective, as kittens says there is often a test line visible, (I can always see one) but it has to be darker than the control line to count as a positive - you can't really get a faint positive on an opk like you would on a hpt. Have a squizz at this (googled it last time haha www.peeonastick.com/opkhpt.html ) That said, I hate to rain on your parade so fingers crossed - you never know! Chuckling at your '..or it could all be bollocks' haha, I'm going to use that in the conclusion of my next essay

Betty hello stranger! Yes, same old Peanut, still here . Yes, we've been here WAAY too long, this is me heading into month #5 post-mc which is rubbish. FX for you, when will you poas? I'm 5dpo so have got ages to wait.

Well ladies, tragically I didn't manage to conjure up cold-sensitive nipples on my walk today. Mind you, I was wearing a padded bra, a vest top, a jumper, a fleece and a windproof coat so was actually boiling, poor ol' boobies had no chance! Next time: string vest and nowt else (lucky farmers..)

Is it really wrong of me that finding out that Wills and Kate are expecting has made me go 'MEH'? I'm a bad person. Bad, bad, bad.

Hi peanut, no it's not. I just heard it 5 mins ago on radio and while I'm delighted for them I felt it was like two fingers to me.

BombasticP nope. My first thought was that if she's due at the beginning of July that might just push me over the edge if I'm not pregnant by the time she's showing. #badperson

Hey munchin! Oh good, glad it's not just me. It does feel a bit like a personal affront, doesn't it? Not sure why! Besides which, Diana was on my baby names list last time. No chance of using that now if they have a girl...!

anda I was due 1st March, if I'm not pregnant again by then I think there will be some kind of major, MAJOR breakdown. I'd originally had Christmas in mind as a time I'd definitely be back in the game, to give me something to look forward to - that was a mistake but seemed so unbearably far away back in August!

hangs head in shame at ridiculous level of shameful excitement about the Cambridges

Totally understand that feeling. I keep thinking/worrying how I'd react if my recently married (younger) sister announces that she's pg too - especially if she's further along.

I don't know why I'm excited. Not a royalist at all. Just think they're a nice couple with a lot going for them. I actually think I'm outwardly excited for them because they're 'out' of the closet...

Aw bear, as if we'd beat a pregnant woman!

I actually think they're a sweet couple, always have. I just saw the headline and my stomach plummeted before I'd even finished reading it. Maybe it's because they married a few months before us, I'm the same age as them, and I remember thinking when I found out I was pg last time that I'd beaten them to it (pregnancy rumours were circulating back then too!) so maybe it's a bit of a subconscious measure of failure for me. Hopefully I'll be able to bite back the bile enough to enjoy the inevitable bank holiday though

If I were still pg I'd be happy for them etc. because I'm not I'm MEH.

I am that fickle.

^^^ What blundercats said!

Oh, I'm happy for them, and I feel very sorry for her suffering so acutely. Happy, but insanely jealous

I'll get over it. I think i'll be listening to music on the way home from work though rather than the radio

Oh fucking hell. An email has just popped into my inbox from Grazia: Kate Middleton pregnant and our top 10 royal baby names.

I used to like Grazia...

I'm going to have to deal with this aren't I?!

Oh these news are tough. I wonder if she ever had a mc?
They said on tv she is only 2 months so very early days too.
I can understand the feelings. Hugs to you all x

Blol Two months?! Perfect! Double-meh. How are you though?

I'm ok girls thanks.
Had the scan and saw a sac
They say all normal for 5 weeks and asked me to go back in ten days for another scan.
I know it can still go wrong but I feel I can breathe again. I cried when I saw the black blob on the screen! It's the cutest black blob ever

That's brilliant news. Yay! And brilliant that they'll scan again in ten days.

hi girlies, well i'm back! after being diagnosed with a molar pregnancy after my MC in october, i was finding it a bit hard to log in as i wasn't going to be allowed to TTC for a year. i haven't had a chance to read through the posts since i last checked in but am i right in thinking there are a few ladies with good news!!??!!? i hope so :)

well after coming to terms with the fact that i wasn't allowed to TTC for a year at least, i got a phonecall on friday afternoon to say the pathologist made a mistake in fact i hadn't suffered from a molar pregnancy at all, i don't need to be monitored for a year and there was no risk of needing chemo, and the best bit ........ i can jump on the TTC band wagon once again wooooooohoooooooooo!!!!

so i'm back in the gang girlies!!

Wow Janie Welcome back - that is such amazing news! So pleased for you

Thanks for not beating me up Peanut

I totally understand it... I think I'm living vicariously through them except the vomiting part ie I can't be excited about being pg yet but I can be excited about someone else. I'd like to think I'd still be excited if I wasn't pg, but I have to wonder...

Really pleased bout your scan BLol sounds like they're taking care of you well now.

Okay so I've just read some of the oler posts and understand the name changes now!! My name hasn't brought me much luck but I'll stick with it for now just in case!

James I have been keeping away from the tests to try and stop me obsessing and don't even have any at home, but after reading your post I am just about to try an opk. I totally understand your logic being 13dpo and desperate for a bfp. I'll be back with results in a bit.

Oh and congrats Lol and anyone else I've missed that got a bfp while I've been away.
Okay going to do the opk to feed my poas habit!

Hi betty...and?! What poas news?

Hi janie, great news! Get on it!!

Been to the gym, feel smug!

Janie that's brilliant news all round, glad you're back on it so much sooner than you thought!

betty ......don't leave us hanging! Any news??

Blol that's fantastic news, hooray for blobs and glad you're getting your next scan soon!

Janie fantastic news, sorry you were put through all that worry and upset needlessly.

Blol delighted with your scan news.

Betty good luck with poas.

Peanut I agree with you. I think they are great couple and hope all goes well for them. I'm just easily upset at mo as I should have had our little bundle this Xmas.

Hope all newly pg ladies are keeping well.

Happy belated birthday messtins.

Afm on cd 28 here with nothing to report other than a bfn on an ic yest morning. Have Xmas party this Thursday so I guess I will be drinking.

Hi, sorry I was trying to get dd to sleep and running back and forward to the bathroom at the same time.

So, I dived into my bagfull of ovk and found a pg test that I didn't know I had. So I did one pg test and on ovk and guess what......
the names beginning with a 'b' are obviously on a lucky streak.

BFP!

OH isn't home so I've left it on top of the loo for him to see when he gets home.

The line is stronger now at 13dpo than it was when I was 5 weeks pg the last time.

It's so so hard not to scream and shout but I know I have to just take it easy. I'm sending loads and loads of fairy dust to you ladies :)

Oh Betty fantastic! Congratulations, hope this is your sticky bean! xxx

well chuffed with self for changing name, this strategy cannot fail

munchin sorry about your bfn, what a bugger. Any chance you ov'd late this month?

Wow, betty!! Amazing! Congratulations! What an evening eh?!

munchin, is your cycle normally this long?
