I hope this thread will bring lots of BFPs, good scan results and healthy new arrivals.

Yup feeling pretty crap this am. Even had a little cry. Am sure I will test again.

It's never taken me more than 2 cycles to conceive before and I think this is adding to my frustration. Maybe I should look at this as a good thing as my uterus (womble) is being a little more selective and not accepting any old sperm and egg!!

Jolly really sorry to hear that Thanks

Could still be early? FWIW, I'm pretty much convinced I'm out, too, this month. I'm in la-la denial land now but I know I'll be miserable when AF flies in and starts cackling at me.

Difference is, I'm too stubborn to spend on an early test, so am just delaying the bad news. Really feel for you. If it's still a BFN tho at the weekend, we could be cycle buddies in the pre-Christmas BFP hunt? Crap consolation prize, though, I know Sad

polka tough call - totally understand the need for some time away, but get the worrying as well. Can you get advice off a mw at the epu or somehting? Like the ladies said above is definitely worth a call to insurance company, too.

bear - fx for you. You never know til AF arrives.

Just got back from hospital. The nurse was lovely, really put my mind at rest about my wonky uterus and has booked me in for a scan in 3 weeks. Lots of tips too like taking 75mg of aspirin every day (-does anyone else do that?) and eating lots of protein). I feel in quite a positive mood today. Que sera sera and all that. I even rang my dad to tell him my news (super early I know, but it was so miserable having the mc before when my close family didn't even know I was pg. and I ended up telling them all after the mc anyway so it seems daft to keep it secret).

yikes am glad you are in the system and being looked after :) I took the baby aspirin just after i thought I had ov'ed and until I was about 6 weeks (ran out on hols) and am sure it helped the baby stick! I think generally on this thread we quite like our aspirin.

jolly am sorry to hear you don't think you have made it this month. 10dpo is still early though. It really is. But BFNs suck :(. If it helps any I had a blinding BFN at 10 dpo (tested morning and evening Blush) and then a strong positive mid morning at 11 dpo. So you never know until you get AF Brew

arf polka who knows what you should do! You sound lilke you are excited about it and happiness has only got to help the pg?! But at 7 weeks you might feel like utter shite and only want to be at home! If you cancel will you lose the money and everything? could you go in Jan or owt instead when in the second tri and a bit bouncier?!

off to mc appt soon. Am already in a tizz, haven't felt bubs yet today (completely normal of course am only 14 weeks!) so am paranoid and really, really want to listen in but bet they won't and what if they don't hear anything?! And I don't want to talk about my mc's any more, I want them to be the past. They make me feel so sad and fretful.
Ho hum, just need to grow up and get on with it eh?

can't remember if I posted after pebs but YAY for listening in and good luck for today with the scan x

Ooh good luck for your appt wilde everything crossed for you - and you pebs!

And thanks Yikes I promise to be more positive. Can't remember if it's this thread or not, but right now, I, like Jolly, have a Schrodinger's baby Grin

Great news on the support Yikes that must feel great! Your nurse sounds amazing Smile let's hope all this positivity rubs off with more good scan news and BFPs too!

hey all, finally back from appt. Was good, was about the mcs but the consultant said it was just procedure nothing personal and as this pg was going so well is nothing to worry about. I burst into tears and could hardly stop crying and so she got a mobile scanner and did a wee scan and reassured me that all was well, that each pregnancy was different and this baby is strong. She also said that if something was going to happen, it will and that is life, not just pregnancy, or this pregnancy, or me, but we really could get run over tonight so not to fret, and be positive for me, and for the baby.

She booked us in for a growth scan at 34 weeks tho said really that was for our benefit more than theirs as it looked like I could do with the support Blush.

anyway. still feel like crying so think am just really hormonal today!

hope all well with you pebs

Ah wilder these pesky hormones! Mine are raging away too! Although my pregnancy symptoms have now gone. Wish I could switch my brain off.

It sounds like you saw a lovely consultant. And a wee bonus that you had another scan. Glad it went well.

I'm still waiting on my neuchal screening results. It's only been a week, but I'm likely to come back high risk age-wise. So I'm going to phone the midwife tomorrow & see if I can book one soon.

I'm not going public with this pregnancy until I have the amnio results, which could be well into January & I'll be obviously pregnant before then - aaargh!

Wilde and Yikes glad your appointments went well.

Feeling a bit calmer now though am still torn between thinking ' I tested too early there's still hope ' and 'roll on December!'

Oh well I'll know for sure in a few days. brave how are you do sure you're out?

pebs hope today went ok xx

I am having scans every three weeks now to check growth so that is good.

I treated myself to a couple of pregnancy magazines so I am chilling out with those!

Congrats pebs! And also to Wilde you've both had good news today Smile

Sorry jolly but as you say, not over yet. I also caved in today but just used a Home Bargains cheapy test in my lunch hour. BFN. I caved because I had a slight bleed yesterday mid morning that I thought was start of AF but I've had nothing since so had kind of convinced myself it was an implantation bleed (which although only 30% of women get, I managed to have a mc that only 25% have so why not?). It was a pinky red bleed that came away when I was giving myself a little 'sweep with toilet roll in my finger' - TMI but if I can't say it here where can ?! Anyway, I'm still waiting for AF and even though I have absolutely no pg symptoms, my usual AF symptoms aren't really happening either. I'm due tomorrow if 'normal' cycle is back but could be up to 4 days later going by last few months cycles.

MrsHP and Bear we may be the 4 musketeers next month Wink

Hullo, I miscarried literally on Monday, I was at 10 weeks. Sad

May I join your thread?

When is it ok to start trying again? Do I need to wait for a natural period then try after that, or can I just ahem dive right in once this bleeding stops?

lotsofcheese · 15/11/2012 18:53

Welcome ladyflump - so sorry for your loss, it's such a horrible time. But you've come to the right place - lots of support here from ladies who understand.

pebs how lovely a boy!! There's some beautiful baby boy clothes in M&S just now.....

pixie AF is a bitch! Sorry she got you.

It looks like there could be a few of you TTC over Xmas - a nice time to be trying!! Xx

lady sorry to hear this Sad

I started trying as soon as the bleeding stopped. They tell you to wait for one period but that's just so they can date it.

lotsofcheese · 15/11/2012 20:12

Forgot to say I was told to wait a cycle too, to allow any remaining miscarriage tissues to be passed during AF.

I don't think it's the end of the world if you try, though, to say the least.

My cycles were completely up the creek for a few months after my mmc at 11.5 weeks but were normal straight away after my m/c at 7 weeks.

Good luck! Xx

Hi ladyflump sorry to hear about your miscarriage, it's so unfair. :( So sorry for your loss. My own midwife told us to start trying straight away if it was what we wanted, but the hospital midwives suggested waiting for a period. We did try in the first cycle, but didn't conceive, then second cycle we caught again. All seems to be going well this time. Good luck xx

Dorita75 · 15/11/2012 21:48

Hi ladyflump I don't think there's a right answer to this one. I waited a cycle and kind of wish I'd not because I'm still not pg and wonder if I would've been more fertile straight away, however, I passed some tissue 2 months later that was left over. My friend got pg weeks after an ectopic and is ticking along nicely. I wouldn't worry about the dating, they sort that out eventually, my friend was dated okay. It's entirely up to you and how you feel. Good luck and take care xx

Hi lady sorry you find yourself here and yes there is no correct answer - we mc at 6 weeks in April and fell again straight after that unfortunately ended in a mmc at 10 weeks but we have our age against us. Ou ate n the right place for great advice and virtual love and hugs though x

jolly we are a band of five over the next two months - the run up to Christmas should be steamy lol x
