We will try anything! The big fat posifrickintivity thread of TTC after MC

[GuffSmuggler]

A new thread for all you lovely, crazy ladies. Here's to lots of BFPs!

penguin you are right I better buy a load of internet cheapies before dh sees the credit card statement.
I also have a feeling that I am in here for the long haul like some of you. First pregnancy and mc were conceived in 1-2 cycles, but I just have a feeling that it will take me longer this time.

trinpy how can you hold out so long ! when is af due? Surely 17 dpo and no af is a good sign.

I have no pregnancy symptoms (unlike last time - when i tested 10dpo and had a BFP !).

Hello ladies, I'm back from my Jolly Holidays. Been out the loop for a fortnight so I've scanned through quickly to get a brief update on where everyone is... congratulations to saggy and thundercats, really exciting news. Welcome newbies, sorry you find yourselves here but it's the most supportive group and you're in good company.

Having 2 weeks away has been great, I decided to just drink what I want and dtd whenever rather than referring to any sort of calendar, I didn't even take any opks with me though I know I must have ov whilst we were away so it's a case of waiting now. I'm 3 days into the 2 ww and feeling quite relaxed about it.

I got pood on by pigeons 4 TIMES whilst we were away, on separate occasions I might add, hopefully that's a sign of good luck, though it certainyl didn't feel like that on the fourth occasion when it felt like someone had thrown an egg in my face!!

good luck to anyone poas tomorrow! Any takers?

Aly if a scan will help you ( knowing helps me) maybe look at a private gynecological scan.. A company near me that does antenatal scans also does these for £80. Not cheap but do able.

My local health authority will not find any fertiliy treatment if you have paid for any private care before hand. Just 1 test, scan or consultantion voids your right to nhs care. However private gynecological care is fine!!! Hence gynecological scan not fertiliy investigation.

I was 5 days off starting fertility treatment before bfp ( first ever) and have been told to wait a year post misscarriage. So although I hope your Gp is more helpful a plan b might be wise.

Re not obsessing it is almost impossible but I found it really started to damage my mental health and marriage after 9'months last time, so I'm trying to limit that now if possible. That said at 5 weeks posted mmc I'm fed up of waiting for mu first period. I really hope it comes soon ( unless a bfp comes but trying not to hope for that), waiting another 3 weeks plus sounds grim.

Trinpy poas you crazy girl. How can you stand it?

Good luck for any others poas tomorrow.

Thanks for the bbt til sal, will check it out. Genius.
Cosmic thanks for the gynae info.

Welcome back from hols sundance! Pigeon poo is defo lucky.

Right, I'm off to latitude, see you all next week!

Ooh Latitude jealous. Have a fab time :-)

aly hope you have a great time

Have a great time Aly

Right, I'm booked in with the doctors at 9am to finally speak to someone about these pains that I'm getting continuously - ever since my mc I've been getting sharp pains in what feels like my right ovary area, it was the same pain I got just before I started to miscarry but it's been there ever since. Hopefully it will be nothing but DH is insisting I get it checked out.

Also, and I know it's weird to ask, but any advice on what I can say to my dr that isn't as blunt as..."I want to have some sort of fertility check up as I'm still not preggers yet"? Not sure they will go for that.

Bloody hell. HPTs arrived today, couldnt resist having a go....BF(scary)P!

Sorry I know I've jumped the queue. Feels very unreal rather than exciting. This is the third time since March. Third time lucky?

I have absolutely no symptoms like I did for last 2. Maybe a good sign. Fingers crossed.

Congratulations Rainbow, but..... ! :) that's fantastic news, congratulations.

3 times, definitely a lucky number so hope this is a sticky bean for you!

congratulations rainbow Lucky number 3

Great news rainbow! But have a big salmon slap for not being able to wait another 8 hours until Friday! Really hope it is third time lucky for you.

In the nicest way, i hope the pigeon poo doesn't work sundance, as I'm not sure i want to add that to my list of things to try for getting pg... We'll all be chasing pigeons around if you get a bfp!

I'm just wondering about 'the syringe method'??? im not sure who it was but I need to know if it worked

Congratulations Rainbow! You have no self-control .

cosmic just been reading what you wrote about being made a year post mc for another fertility appointment. I was 10 days away from my first fertility appointment when I got my bfp (also first ever). When I mc my gp told me to call the clinic asap and see if I could still have my cancelled appointment. Clinic had given it away but they made me another appointment immediately - there was no mention of waiting for another year (which I'm very thankful for). Maybe different clinics have different rules about this?

Would love to poas tomorrow as Im a poas addict, but this is cycle 0, I have irregular cycles, and I did once have a 28 day luteal phase, so it is still very possible that af will show up in the next week.

congratulations rainbow! really exciting news. Something to cheer us up too as we were all getting a bit down on the thread.

Wonderful news Rainbow! Just a little minnow being lobbed your way for cheering me up .

Just been lurking and catching up; sorry to see new faces, and that people are feeling blue. I'm feeling - wistful, I guess. Just met friend's newborn for the first time - two weeks old. She's beautiful, the youngest baby I've ever met, and I just feel like...that could have been me in a month. But I keep telling myself it couldn't have been, because it wasn't.

I know what you all mean about it feeling like forever - this will be our 2nd month TTC since the time out, and it already feels like an age. I can't really imagine it ever happening. A bit of me just feels like it would be too good to be true. But then I remember when I was a teenager, and worrying and worrying because everyone else had started their periods (oh the days when I wanted AF to arrive!) or had lost their virginity, it felt like it would never be my turn. But then it was, and I wondered why I'd been so worried. We will all be there soon!! We got there before, and we'll get there again.

Also, Sundance, why can't you just ask your doc that? Sounds like a fair question to me. You could wrap it up in the enquiry about your pains - and I agree with your DH, you should get those checked out. So funny about the pigeon poo - that's got to be luck, what are the chances?!

Can't wait for the POAS news tomorrow, I hope we have some more good news. I should ov tomorrow or Sat, so moving into the stressful portion of the month.

Now that saggy has happily left us, I feel it is my duty to add the pigeon poo to the Project Desperate list...

Project Desperate
SMEP meets CBFM
meets acupuncture
meets chinese medicine
meets chinese massage
meets reflexology
meets fertility nutritionist
meets fertility hypnotherapist
meets grapefruit
meets evening primrose
meets pineapple core
Meets vitamin B6
meets Agnus Castus
meets 'the syringe method'
meets Preesees/conceive plus
meets legs in the air after DTD
meets temping
meets pigeon poo...

I'm going to start doing a new one each month. Which means in 13 months I'll need to find a friendly pigeon fancier...

I am the syringe master. (Will find out in the next 7 days either way if it has worked this month)!

Had some spotting today 10DPO, just pink CM (soz if tmi). Too early for AF I hope and bang on for IB setting myself up for a potential whopping fall this cycle but was wondering if it could be down to dehydration as my treatment room is like a fricking oven and I nearly fainted on someone's fanny this arvo!!

How you holding out penguin? Still on for next Friday...?

Glad you are still lurking with us saggy

I'm trying to be strong sal, although I just realised it will be difficult to POAS next Friday as my parents are visiting and i wouldnt be able to hide my disappointment/joy from them. So I may have to risk fish slaps if AF isn't here before then!

I'm not hopeful for a BFP though, as my temps have been very well behaved, and they went haywire when I was pg before.

It's not over til its over though!!

Saggy, nice to see you lurking! Tell me about your spotting again.....pretty please!

I knew saggy would hang around to keep an eye on us hope you are feeling nicely sick?
sal I'm taking a little break from ttc while I wait on tests, so this week my legs (and fingers) are crossed for you and the syringe method

Light period type spotting/blood on cycle days 20/21/22. What else would you like to know?

Thanks! Nothing else required. I have always been sceptical about spotting and getting up duffed so wanted to know it is possible!
Hope you're doing ok! Xx
