TTC after recent mc - thread 3. Handholding, naff jokes and the infamous Laura Ashley skirt.

[JamesAndTheGiantBanana]

Happy new thread! Here's hoping for lots of Christmas and new year bfp's, and long healthy pregnancies for everyone.

Thanks yorkie you're absolutely right should lock then away! .Had another day of losing the plot and yes I really should put them away and wait for af to come along. Not my most patient time!

How's everyone doing?

Don't worry, I'd do exactly the same. I guess the benefit of these threads is that other people can be your rational voice for you when you're panicking and confused about stuff!

I'm currently obsessing over whether I've actually ovulated or not at the moment!

hey thunder i'm having a bit of one of those days too eventhough i don't really have any reason to be. yet another scan pic on facebook grrr is making me realise how much i REALLY want this. i've already poas even though i shouldn't have until the weekend (the 10 pack of internet cheapies arrived so i thought one wouldn't hurt - and they say they're ultra early tests, even as soon as 3 days after conception - obv BFN) ... but even at that, i'm not sure if this weekend will be too early because of my wtabsolutef cycles moan moan moan.

big hugs x

Totally yorkie, I could never let on to anyone else in RL about being such an idiot so confused! Are you using opks? (sorry am terrible at remembering.

janie sorry about your humph day too. What day are you on?

on cycle day 41 now :( and i think i ov'd 10 days ago so i was hoping that this weekend would be my testing time but got a feeling that mother nature might just f**k with me a bit more for a laugh, just so i have absolutely no idea what's going on in there.

sorry i'm just wishing my innards behaved themselves a bit! if it doesn't happen this time then i won't ov for about another 2 months :( feeling very sorry for myself and grabbing cat for cuddles

I think I have an explanation for you all! Apparently it is blue Monday- officially the most depressing day of the year! So don't be feeling bad, there is a reason for it!!

DH has gone on strike. Balls. Think I pushed the 'baby making time' thing too far. Didn't think he would ever complain! Oh ffs.

ibelieve i salute you for your explanation! trying to convince myself it's nothing to do with narky pmt and the fact that i'm back to slimming world after xmas and DH is scoffing rounds and rounds of buttery toast with marmalade and i'm eating my 3rd mullerlite of the day!! maybe i should just go to bed!

That's what I have done. on my own due to dh's strike

Just hope this horrid day is over soon. And hope everyone is feeling much brighter in the morning.

yep thunder got a + opk on cd 9 which confused me as seemed ridiculously early so carried on testing and then a + opk again on cd 14 (sat). I'm temping at the same time so looking for this supposed shift in temp after ovulation and worrying that it's not going to come which will imply that I haven't ovulated this month. I did put away the opks for the sake of my sanity hence why I was recommending you to do the same!

Pink Thanks for the explanation - that is going to be my excuse for my irrational thinking and crazy thoughts up until midnight! Sorry to hear about your rubbish day today - yours too Janie.

Fingers crossed for a better day tomorrow for everyone!

Oh yes of course, sorry yorkie, my memory is shocking! Would be easier if it were putting faces rather than crazy names to posts! You very politely implied I should put away the opks- what I needed was a firm slap with a large fish. So what's going on with the temps then?

Sorry about the picket, pink. If you're in the 2ww maybe it doesn't matter so much now to have a night off? Love the explanation though- it suddenly makes so much sense.

janie I totally understand feeling frustrated with innards- and yours must be so much worse due to those cycles. I'm giving up on today and going to bed- hope tomorrow is a better one!

Ps is it the three legged cat?

Hello, I wonder if I might give a wee wave and join you all?

I had a miscarriage on the 27th December, my first period since started on Saturday (did any of you have horrendous first periods after the mc? I've never experienced one like it.). So, delighted as I was to have it arrive I'm now cursing it! Thinking positively thought, it definitely feels like I am now on the road back to normal.

I'm 36, TTC #2, DC1 is 14months and the only thing that has kept me going some days.

That's all for now, I've scanned the thread, will try to read properly as soon as I can.

Hi mrshende sorry to hear about your mc, but you're very welcome into the gang. And crazy AF is entirely normal so don't panic. Are you going to TTC straightaway or are you still gathering yourself after everything? Hope you're doing ok.

And yes thunder it's my 3 legged furbaby getting all the cuddles

Thank you janie!

Yes, hoping to TTC straight away. We were only on our second month of trying when I got pregnant, we were delighted because it took nearly a year to conceive our DC1.

Still gathering myself but AF arriving has helped (despite the yucky-ness of it!!). I feel like it's turned the page the mc and I can now move on, however sadly.

Thunder - 2ww started yesterday, and given how messed up my body is at the moment I figured one last shot (excuse the expression) wouldn't hurt. Still, never mind :)

Mrshende, sorry to see you here. :(

Hello Mrs H - really very sorry your are here...

Wish I could bring great cheer but I spent a considerable time scaring myself at Dr Google and discovered Ashermans Syndrome??? Anyone heard of it? It's to do with the uterus having scar tissue. Anyway when I was at the EPU I said to the Dr I was concerned that there had been some damage done when the placenta was manually removed ripped out after DC1 and they fobbed me off but now Dr Devil Google has made me feel like poop. Pah! Giving it one more cycle then going to the real life Drs to see if they can start some tests. Tick tock....

Hi garden, ouch that sounds not nice :( I hope it's something much friendlier than that. But do go to your dr, and if you don't like their answer then go to another. Xx

Garden- is it worth going now? Just cos I know what I am like when I am waiting for something, I drive myself nuts! If it would make you feel better to go get checked, is there any harm in doing that?
Not sure, personal decision I guess. Hopefully they can just put your mind at rest, confirm nothing bad, and tell you to stop googling ( as they do with me!)

Morning everyone, hope you are all feeling better today. Hello to MrsH.
Pink I'm liking the positivity asking when BFP is due! BFP (or let's face it, AF) due 4th or 5th Feb.
Thunder I think you are peeing on the wrong kind of sticks. Last BFN on Saturday & AF not shown her ugly face yet? You are being commendably patient!

Hope you're feeling as bit calmer today thunder As Baking says are you considering doing a pg test again?

Welcome to the thread Mrs

Hey Garden sorry to hear you're worrying. Have you had any symptoms to make you think that it might be Ashermans Syndrome?

Hi ladies. I poaFRER yesterday along with the opk. I know I'm not pg and af is just playing silly buggers now! Even if I ov'd late we haven't dtd since so it can't have happened I'm afraid. Have lost faith in cheapy opks though!

Sorry about the worry garden. Sounds like it might be worth having a chat to a real doc who takes the time to really listen to your concerns if you can.

Hi mrsH

sorry thunder I didn't realise that you'd tested again yesterday. These post mc cycles are a bloody nightmare and cause so much confusion!!!!

Yeah I just couldn't help myself during my crazed Monday! Have stepped away from all sticks now. They are a nightmare aren't they- in addition to TTC in general!

All sticks and TTC related activities are a nightmare.

I have completely lost the plot. Really this time.
I am 2 dpo. Maybe. Not confirmed by opks, just by my usual cycle which has been pretty damn accurate as have been pg twice in 3 months on that.
So, fairly certain is 2dpo. And I have cramps. And the crazy dreams have started. I cannot be getting symptoms this early?! I must be inventing them in my desperation to be pg.

Help.... The men in white coats are clearly on their way!!!!

That really strange pink. Did you not use the smiley faces this time? It might be your hormones jumping about a bit- mine certainly have been!
