TTC after recent mc - Thread 2

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.

OP posts:
blundercatsHO · 06/12/2012 12:17

anda, I didn't know it could be brown too. I didn't get imp bleed last time and I don't want to clutch at straws here so I'll try not to think about that and wait for af or sore boobs.

Yeah peanut, I read that too re caffeine. Ridiculous the things we try to blame isn't it. Either way I enjoy it too much can't give it up completely.
Yes I am freezing. I'm sat next to a radiator and am contorting myself trying to get as much of my body as possible in direct contact with it. Not a good work posture. If it gets any colder I'm just going to have to either make a coat out of a duvet or work from a steaming hot bath.

BaublesForSally · 06/12/2012 13:00

james subdued yay! fx the line gets nice and dark soon.

Caffeine - I went straight to decaf unless really desperate. Probably overdoing it and I don't think I'd bother cutting out completely again (I know damn well it had nothing to do with the mc...)

Loving the Laura Ashley! I'd take it back too.

6dpo, definitely not doing any symptom spotting... tra la la...

Bakingtins · 06/12/2012 13:07

Well - all AF signs (hopefully not a Laura Ashley esque one on the way) have disappeared again. Could really do without it being late (unless for a good reason but not hopeful) or I will be ovulating next month at Christmas whilst staying with MIL though DH does like furtive shagging

blundercatsHO · 06/12/2012 15:37

tins, does that mean it was implantation spotting before then? Xmas Wink

BumpKitty · 06/12/2012 16:00

I'm good thanks booze - I don't work Thurs or Friday so luckily at home today, DD may be traumatised though, she is potty training at the moment and likes to check whether I've done a wee or a poo when I go to the loo, I've been trying to keep her out of the bathroom as much as possible!
I had implantation bleeding with the mc pg, it was red. I can't remember if I had it with the DD pg as I probably didn't know what it was back then :)
Have you had a BFN yet thunder ?

blundercatsHO · 06/12/2012 16:06

bump, hi there. No I haven't poas since last faint one. Haven't had the urge to do it and stupidly saving hpt for when I'm going for bfp?! reckon its worth me checking?

How's the af? Calming yet? Maybe anda should post you the skirt- it could be our talisman.

blundercatsHO · 06/12/2012 16:40

Ps knicker cam here reports spotting. Must be the other twin implanting Xmas Wink

Bakingtins · 06/12/2012 16:52

No idea blunder maybe the force of the B is with me! More likely that it's just hormones a bit doolally still though, have had a bit of on and off spotting for a few days before period since MC. Not v hopeful.

blundercatsHO · 06/12/2012 17:13

have you poas tins?

Clairey2012 · 06/12/2012 18:00

Would jst like to say thankyou to peeps for th advice, its jst so nice to have people to talk to about it.xxxxxxxx

bunchofposy · 06/12/2012 19:11

Thought I'd get with the btimes!

Thanks for the advice ref coffee/tea. I had a decaf at soft play, and, er, couldn't tell the difference but know I would have been furious with it first thing

I also blame my mc on many and varied non-reasons, I think it's natural. Glad coffee doesn't have to go! Xmas Grin

Boozeandadietjinglebell · 06/12/2012 19:20

Oh good lord. The sisterhood of the travelling laura ashley skirt blunder. Niiiice.

blundercatsHO · 06/12/2012 19:34

Ahh love the name booze!

Yeah once we get our bfps we set the skirt in silver and make a trophy of it.

BumpKitty · 06/12/2012 19:49

Well blunder you are most restrained, must be a week and a half since you last poas (yes, I'm aware I sound like a very odd stalker with a HPT fetish) can't hurt to do another.
I can't wait till I get the travelling skirt, at £55 it would be one of the most expensive items of clothing that I'd own Xmas Shock must get more clothes!
AF still going strong, DH casually dropped into conversation 'so remind me how long your period will last?' its either cos he is desperate for some sex or he's hoping the PMT will stop Xmas Blush possibly both. He'll be sorry when I'm back to making him perform every other night! I had to say I had no clue how long AF will be visiting - if she keeps up this level of enthusiasm I may keel over
james was it you that suggested spatone? I've been taking it for a while and I'm definitely warmer and I have red cheeks so must be working, ta x

AlmondFrangipani · 06/12/2012 21:23

Posy I just switched to decaf tea (got to be Twinnings though otherwise it tastes rough) and I drink decaf Costa anyhow. Also dabbling at some herbal teas and found some nice ones from Pukka (although v expensive but I am thinking I am saving on the wine bill!).

James I am having the same symptoms as you. Insatiable thirst which I just cant quench! I think I must have drunk 3l today! Also very tired and emotional. My boobs arent that sore though and I definitely had that last time trying not to compare too much. Cramps seem to be subsiding a bit. My DH also thinks he is gods gift. His self-nominated nickname is 'Sperminator' Xmas Hmm!

Brave I think I am going to get past my 'milestone' too as I had a similar problem with the hospital ringing me up and saying I had missed an appointment Xmas Sad.

BelissimaLol · 06/12/2012 22:44

Hi girlies
Can't open this thread on the app. It keeps crashing!
Wow loving the name changes. B and festive things have got to be winners!
And wow wow wow James!!! I know the feeling of not wanting to get too excited. Take it one poas day at a time!
I'm feeling as thirsty as a camel, all the time. And tired. Been napping after work and going to bed straight after eating.
Re caffeine. I drink a can of coke zero almost everyday but no coffee or tea. I also sometimes take paracetamol with caffeine if I have a headache as its below the 200 mg. luckily though I have not had headaches and I generally do!

BettyFlutterbly · 06/12/2012 23:56

I'm off to bed girls but just wanted to say hi.
Yey James fx for a stronger line next poas.
I haven't made midwife app yet as it was tough cancelling it last time.
Might but a cb digi tomorrow but they're so expensive!

Aug 16th sounds good, doesn't it Posy

Yey to Afs for those of you who wanted them but boo to LAs!

Night x

bunchofposy · 07/12/2012 09:04

Almond I like pukka teas too, and they're in brizzle so shoppin' local like [frgin] (to my parents in my case!)

Am now feeling amused at the idea of a laura ashley skirt trophy!

bunchofposy · 07/12/2012 09:05

I mean Xmas Grin ! (again!)

blundercatsHO · 07/12/2012 09:35

Twinings lemon and ginger yummmmmmm

BraveLilBear · 07/12/2012 10:18

More name changes! Awesome Xmas Grin

Got my midwife appointment through last night - 3pm on Xmas Eve! Feels exciting having my notes, but still having occasional wobbles. Am veering back towards wanting a reassurance scan, but have no way of convincing DP to let me. It's expensive, but he says that wanting it is too negative and I'm wishing bad things to happen.

I just want to see a heartbeat then I can feel more confident and relax for the rest of the time. Have been having lots of crampy twinges the last few days so worry is ramped up. Sooooo difficult.

blundercatsHOHOHO · 07/12/2012 10:35

Christmas name change here too...!

Ooo bear how lovely having appointment on Christmas eve. Although at that stage it is just a million questions isn't it? Still a lovely feeling to know that you're moving along.

Bump decided against it again this morning. I don't know what I want to see on the stick any more so I'm hiding from it! Been googling this on and off brown spotting, and I think it might be start of af or even just a mini mini af. Or nothing. Trying not to read the ones relating to pg people as I can't believe that at the mo. Confusing times!

lol I downloaded app yesterday and its rubbish. Can't do anything on there without it crashing so I give up til they do a decent update!

anyone got the munchies?

BraveLilBear · 07/12/2012 10:39

Thanks for the biccies BlundercatsHoHoHO I actually bought some cookies for the girls in the office this morning and have one left to share, if anyone wants it?

Was looking at the notes form that I have to fill in and take with me. My fave question so far is 'are you and the father of the baby blood relatives?' Xmas Shock

blundercatsHOHOHO · 07/12/2012 10:42

Wow that's an interesting one...I wonder how many times they have a yes ticked there?

I'd love a real Xmas Biscuit, thanks. As you might be able to tell from my frequency of posts on here, I work alone and there are very many times when I need human distraction! Same applies to biscuits today.

blundercatsHOHOHO · 07/12/2012 12:08

(damnit I am fickle. Poas. But a good strong BFN so at least I know where I am. May the next one be a +ive!)
