Still no sign of AF

Well that's good Smole, although I can now understand your nerves about testing - I didn't realise you had already had 3 m/c.
How are you feeling? Got any sort of symptoms either way?

No symptoms. I feel a bit tired. But then I had no symptoms until I was 5 weeks before.

Hello

Just back from a week in Majorca which included cds 12 - 14. A bit difficult bding sharing a room with two DDs but as they are 10 and 6 we sent them to the hotel supermarket for breakfast every morning and told them not to rush!

Only second month ttc so fingers crossed and for everyone else on here x

hi there ladies, fingers crossed for us all again. Smole- any symptoms? - i don't expect a reply tonight i'm a night owl as i work from home and have been poorly recently so my sleeps all shot.
cd 10 for me today(thurs) - bd'ing like mad for the next 10 days- that's my 'method'- i'm with rubles/ smole on this one- ov temping and obsessing is neg in my book- for me anyway. I ttc OBSESSIVELY for yrs with no luck aft a m/c- then when i got my fertility clinc appt i stopped obsessing and fell pg- granted it ended in another m/c but the thing is it happened.
xx

Andi04- I'm a complete hypocrite though. I say that it is probably best to just bd as often as possible oblivious of time of the month/temp/opk but in actual fact I am addicted to those methods. I can't seem to stop myself.

Ok folks I tested and it was a BFP.
DH said not to get my hopes up.

SMOLE!!!! congratulations - wonderful news. difficult when DH and probably you too think "don't get hopes up"... I was in denial until the first scan at 7 weeks, am slowly coming round to the idea now (11 weeks) but it has been tough. thank god for mn! keep asking for early scans if you want one XXXX and good luck to you for a healthy pregnancy
good luck everyone else

Congratulations Smole. Enjoy the BFP and try not to worry too much. Know this is v.difficult, but try to stay positive.

Smole Congratulations been waiting for this all week

Congrats Smole that great news. Lots must be going through your head right now as I know if we are lucky enough and it happens for us I'll not know what to think. Try to stay positive and enjoy it

Congratulations Smole, me too - I've been following all week hoping for this news for you. So hope it all goes well with you, try and rest and enjoy! Good luck.

Congratulations Smole. DH's eh? What are they like? He means well.
How are you feeling about it?
I know with your history you are probably petrified, but I really hope this is a super sticky one for you and in a few weeks you are moaning about your awful morning sickness (in the best possible way).
xxxxxxxxxx

Oh Smole, lots of congratulations and best wishes to you, I know something of how you (and DH) might feel (have had 2 m/c's myself) but try to enjoy each day. Lots of super sticky baby glue to you.

Smole - congrats!!!!!!! Knw how you feel- hard to get excited but all you can be is hopeful. SO pleased for you-BIG HUGS!!

I seem to remember that someone is due AF this weekend or Monday. Can't remember who though. Maybe Trace?
I am going to my parents' so will not be on much, but will dip in to see if any major news. I have to take dp to the airport today to fly to Glasgow(!)
My AF is either due on Sunday or Wednesday as I'm not sure when I ovulated. Boobs getting quite sore and heavy now though, which would suggest Sunday to me. If it comes then at least I have the fertility clinic to look forward to.

Smole!!!!! Congratulations !!!!

So pleased for you. Wishing you lots of sticky power! Try and stay positive.

Hope everyone else is well - I'm trying hard not to wish my life away until November too much, when DH is back and we can start TTC again, but with mc due date coming up in 2-3 weeks, it is hard - especially as lady who sits opposite to me at work is due to become a grandmother for the 1st time in 2 weeks, so is counting down the days. I know she's excited and I'm trying to be happy for her, but to me, I feel she's counting down to when my own little one would have been due. feel so self-centred, but hoping it is normal to feel this way?

Anyway, congraluations again Smole - I'm truly truly am so very happy for you

Big CONGRATULATIONS Smole

Rubles - thinking of you this week
(((((((big hugs)))))))

Hello everyone,
I'm new but I join you after suffering a mc last wk. I was 5-6wks pregnant. For my own sanity we are going to start TTC straight away. You never know this sounds like a lucky thread! congrats Smole I really hope this one is the lucky one for you.
I have been bleeding for exacty a week now. Not heavy bleeding more like a light period. It seems to be tailing off and I had no blood today. In your experience do you think I'm done with MC bleeding? In some ways it doesnt seem like enough. I'm a bit concerned that I may have some left inside. I had an internal scan at the EPU and they said I was all clear.
This has been the hardest week- keep crying and feel quite dispairing. It's nice to have you all you, to talk to, who know how it feels. I'll keep in touch.
xx

dear Kitty, I'm sorry you have joined us, but welcome. Its early days yet - just roll with how you are feeling, and treat yourself to things you will enjoy. with me, eating lovely food and doing gardening were the only thing that helped at first, I was lucky also to meet people who had experienced the same as me (or people I had known a long time, who shared their mc stories which I hadn't heard before) but it is a long journey....
this is a great thread with lots of support. just say whatever you feel.
If you are keen to TTC straight away, I found the Toni Weschler book "Taking Control of Your Fertility" really helpful and informative.
Good luck to you and take care

Rubles - hope all well, thinking of you XXX

Hi Kitty- welcome- so sorry about your recent m/c. I do know how you feel as I had one- well i've had more than one-but my last one was in June. Was yours a natural m/c or did they assist you? The reason I ask is that mine was natural and I bled for 10 days- some very heavily. So it would seem to me that your bleeding for a week is about right esp if they've done a scan and that's clear. The only thing I would warn against is the pg hormone-hcg- remaining in your body. I had a high hcg for 8 weeks post m/c and it didn't drop until my 2nd af came!! It made me neurotic- as pg tests were coming up pos all the time and also it made me incredibly emotional. We started ttc straight after my m/c- like you- my doc etc said it ws a personal choice. Have you looked at the miscarriage/bereavement topic/section on here? i've found it very helpful.
Good luck hon and keep in touch!!

I did have a natural miscarriage. In some ways I appear to ahve got off quite lightly as I have had no major pains (other than emotional ones) and my bleeding has not been too heavy.
I haven't told many people that I have miscarried as it was so early into the pregnancy. The only peolple we have told have been family who have been very supportive and concerned. I also told my best friend who surprised me by her reaction. She is currently in the process if IVF having finding out that she would be unable to conceive naturally (I have been supporting her through this). Her reaction to my problem was that it was really hard for her to hear and she didn't see what my problem is as at least I can get pregnant. Very unsympathetic! Her responce really upset me and I feel like I can't talk to her about my mc anymore. Just 2 days after my mc she found out that her IVF worked and she is pregnant. I have congratulated her over the phone and I am really pleased for her. I would rather the mc happen to me than to any one in her situation as i know how difficult ivf is. I am just so upset by her reaction to my situation. I am avoiding her at the mo. She doesn't know that she has upset me and I dont want to spoil her moment of happpiness. Has anyone else had insensitive reactions to your miscarriages? How did you handle them. Confused and upset x

Kitty

and about your friends reaction. Obviously her situation is difficult, but she is no more desperate to conceive than you and should have a better understanding of how devastated you are.

We on here know how you feel and will give you whatever support you need. It does get easier, but it is an enormous loss, no matter how easily or quickly she may think it was for you to conceive.

Be good to yourself and avoid your friend for a while if that's what you need to do.

Congrat to smole

Kitty - I actually ended up telling loads of people about my mc as it was such a big thing to me. Overall their was a lot of support and I even got told about several of my firend's mc which they had kept quiet about. I was really surprised at how many people had suffered one.
