I thought I'd start the new thread and earn some brownie points with the posifrickintivity Gods... Grin

bakingtins I'm so sorry to hear your news. Take care of yourself, we are all thinking of you.

MTBMummy · 24/05/2013 08:22

Tins I'm so sorry, there really are no words x

willitbe · 24/05/2013 08:31

Bakingtins - so sorry that you are going through this again. I don't think we have met on mn before, but wanted to say I understand how you are feeling. Having had 11 miscarriages since my last ds, it is hard to be told that you have an Un-fussy uterus (whatever the heck that really means). I found it was not hopeful getting that "diagnosis" as they can't "treat" it. Although to be fair I did not get to try prednisolone with any of the pregnancies as it seemed to help my uterus become more fussy. Possibly????

I would highly recommend grief concealing though. I found it very helpful in dealing with my emotions of subsequent pregnancies and miscarriages. Do be kind to yourself over the next few days.

Sorry to everyone else for temporarily crashing this thread.

OneLittleToddleTerror · 24/05/2013 09:16

willitbe your post is touching. You don't have to say sorry for it. Just reading it brings tears to my eyes.

GuffSmuggler · 24/05/2013 09:45

Morning everyone,

Is anyone POAS today? I'm dying to but am too scared, I'm going to be a mess if it's a BFN so don't want to face it yet. Urgh.

Thinking of you today tins x

OneLittleToddleTerror · 24/05/2013 10:09

guff I'll start POOPKs tomorrow. Does it count? Grin

Rockchick1984 · 24/05/2013 10:10

I POAS this morning Guff but BFN Sad I had what looked like EWCM a day or so after AF which would mean I was now 14 DPO however I'm now wondering if it was just my body having a bit of a clearout (it was first AF post-miscarriage) so if I ov'd at my normal time then it's far too early to test, I'm only about 5DPO! Anyone experienced similar?

Hope you're holding up ok Tins

Emki · 24/05/2013 11:37

Thinking of you tins constantly xxxx obviously depends on where you live bit there is a great clinic at st Mary's hospital in Paddington London run by prof regan - specialist clinic for recurrent miscarriage - my sister went there after she had 3 mc at 7-8 weeks - they found her blood got too thick when pregnant so she took aspirin ... Anyway they investigate lots if things .... I'm sure what I'm saying is not useful or what you want to hear ... Just so you know you have a lot of support here xxxx

GuffSmuggler · 24/05/2013 14:01

rock I'm the same, was first AF after ERPC and it seemed a random cycle, DTD lots around what I thought was OV but then started getting more EWCM later on which means we might have missed the window, so I don't know what's going on. Going to wait it out a bit longer.

onelittle I'll be joining you with the OPKs soon if this cycle doesn't work out.

We really need some BFPs around here!!!

MrsExcited · 24/05/2013 17:07

Thinking of you Tins.

Looks like the posifrickingtivity is struggling at the moment that's certainly how i feel atm.

Good luck to anyone who does have good news and is too scared to share as i know some don't even want to talk on here!

Will continue to wait (not so paintently) for my first Af 9 weeks since ERPC, have now booked docs appointment, but don't know if there is anything they can do?

Misspositivity · 24/05/2013 18:12

I think June is going the be a big month for BFP's on this thread. How is that for "posifrickingtivity"

Lieslvontrapp · 24/05/2013 18:50

Mrsexcited I know how you feel waiting for first af. I had to wait 10 weeks. Went to gp day before it arrived and they just said to wait another month. Hopefully it comes before your gp appointment.

Misspositivity hope you're right about the June bfps. I'm just starting the 2 wk wait so will poas 8th June.

So no bfps today?

Misspositivity · 24/05/2013 18:50

Mrsexcited hope you find your af soon. Be nice to get some reassurance from your gp if nothing else, I am sure everything will click back soon probably just your body saying it needs a wee rest.

Misspositivity · 24/05/2013 18:56

vontrapp fingers crossed for your tww. We are embarking on smep next Thursday. Will need energy drinks and pasta. Poas 21st June.

Tins - that's shit lovely. Not really anything else I can say. Booze and nice food, PJs and hugs from your OH is definitely what I prescribe for you.

AF arrived here today right on schedule unfortunately. Mrs Excited - can't believe you're still waiting! I'd definitely be asking for a go on Dildo-cam if it was me, see if they can see what's going on!

On a more upbeat note, what's everyone planning for the bank holiday? Xxx

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 24/05/2013 21:01

No BFPs? Sad Come on now people...
All together now...
aaand fertilise...

Ah rubbish no Friday bfps!

Anyone got any nice plans for the weekend? Hoping we might go to the beach at some point. Need to do something that takes my mind off poas! I shouldn't really until at least Monday (or Friday if I stick to the rules!) but I feel like af might be on her way :(

Passing round some posifrickintivity!!

CamomileHoneyVanilla · 25/05/2013 09:28

I got a BFN yesterday at 9 dpo . Not feeling hopeful that that is going to change next week though. I'm sticking to the rules religiously, otherwise I'd be poas every 5mins!

Positive stuff this week: house hunting. DH is away so an doing an initial screen of potentials to whittle down for next weekend. Sitting outside lovely little cottage now waiting for the late estate agent. I don't think it's for us though.

Thundercatsarego · 25/05/2013 10:15

Grin saggy that's made me chuckle.

Oo cam house hunting is great! Are you in a position to buy?

Nice one about the holiday kat

mrsexcited I know there is no logic to this, but my first af came after a good dtd session....worth a try?!

I'm up for posifrickintivity for June bfp. I'm going cold turkey from the opks this month and just going to dtd as much as we can. Af expected not going to arrive 17th June.

RainbowConnections · 25/05/2013 11:58

I've crossed over to the less sane side of TTC. Yesterday I POAS 5 days post ovulation. Spent the week being cool and calm, then woke up yesterday convinced I could defy the HPT powers.

Shame there were no Friday BFPs but good to see some posifrickintivity. Roll on June...

We're off to seaside tomorrow to buy a kiddies print to hang in new conservatory. We've got one that we bought at same gallery the day of 20 week scan for DS so we're going to get another to remember the baby we would have been having. My DH (less sentimental) is hoping we'll squeeze in Star Trek movie at cinema too!

Hope you have a great holiday Katatonic.

Hope you all have lovely weekends.

Misspositivity · 25/05/2013 13:15

rainbow that's a lovely thing to do. Hope you have good day

GuffSmuggler · 25/05/2013 19:21

I've felt really tired and a bit sicky today. I'm either getting ill, AF is coming or... could it be.

GAH don't know how much longer I can withhold POAS. AF due tomorrow.

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. Curry being delivered here shortly nom nom nom x

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 25/05/2013 19:44

Guff I really think you should POAS today or tomorrow. That counts as late Friday offerings! Wait until Monday and then you are testing early for next week and will be eligible for fish slapping! Grin

DearlyDepartedMrsFinch · 25/05/2013 20:02

Hope your AF arrives soon, MrsE. Did you ever get a negative HPT after your miscarriage? Not sure what the doctor will suggest in such a case. Perhaps a scan to check all is okay. Fingers crossed for you.

My AF is still not here despite much ANGER last week. But it is still only CD30 on WTF cycle so I am trying not and failing to obsess.

Camomile, enjoy your house hunting. I LOVE house hunting, but am currently in a forever or stay-for-a-long-time-as-the-schools-are-great home, so I must live vicariously through you.

Rainbow, such a lovely idea about the picture. I have still not decided what to do to remember our baby. I'm thinking of maybe making a rainbow cake to mark a 'birthday' so then DC1 and DC2 can get some enjoyment out of a sad day. And maybe make it into something a bit special. But would that be miscarriage day, or due day? And if it was due day, would it be date from LMP or date that I thought was right? Questions, questions... I have hung a windchime in the apple tree outside. We can hear it from our bedroom window and it makes me think of the baby (as if I need a reminder...). Did anyone else do anything to remember their loss?

Enjoy your hols, Katatonic

Hoping for you, Guff

And still remembering you tins and wishing you strength x
