TTC After MC: The home of hopeful nipples, ovulation eyes and the most determined Mummawannabees around. Chin up, tits out!

[Parsley2506]

The Rules...

(1) A lady may only POAS on a Friday.
(2) Friday means the day that everyone calls Friday in the time zone where you spent the night.
(3) Rule (1) does not apply to POA-OPK-S, UNLESS they are being illegitimately used as surrogate HCG detectors, in which case Rule (1) most definitely does apply
(4) Rule (1) does not apply following a BFP because if you want to waste £25 a day POADigiS that's your prerogative
(5) Rule (1) does not apply if a lady is POAS in an attempt to get a BFN to prove she can start DTD with intent
(6) Rule (1) does not apply if a lady wants for unknown reason to pee on an actual stick, like a twig or some such, if that lady is unexpectedly caught short whilst tramping in the forest looking for bears.
(7) These rules (including Rule (1)) are subject to the change at any time if the ladies of the Posifrickentivity thread decide on a whim come up with empirical evidence to prove that it is luckier to POAS on any other day of the week
(8) Violators of Rule (1) shall be subject to fish throwing.

And as a grand finale, why not pledge to NEVER POAS before 14DPO?

missH I'm so so sorry :( I know there's nothing I can say to make it any better but we're all here for you and I'm glad you've got such a good gp too

So sorry MissH, sometimes it is hard to believe life can be so cruel. Agree with others that you should keep your scan appt if you can face it, they will be able to check whether the mc is complete.

Welcome to the newbies, I hope you won't be here for long but in the meantime I'm sure you'll find some great moral support and advice on here just like I have.

OH is here, we're just staring at the telly my phone EPU will refer me to rmc clinic, nowhere near London but happy to trust in my local fertility clinic at the moment

The cramps have just begun

Thanks for the welcome guys, though I still wish I wasn't here, no offense intended of course!

MissH sorry to hear your news. Want to hold hands? I was 5+3 when my mc started on Thursday, so this little bean lasted four days longer than my last one. I'm really not finding the "just look at is as a late period and try not to dwell" attitude helpful, especially when I feel so physically awful this time. Glad you're getting good support from your GP. I'm now wondering if I should have contacted GP rather than midwife who basically told me "EPU wouldn't see you before seven weeks anyway so we can't do anything. Let us know the outcome, but we're not concerned until you've had three in a row". Oh good, I'm so glad its not causing you any distress, I'll try not to trouble you further

Huge congratulations to those with BFPs. Sending sticky wishes your way!

Wait - All mine have been between 4+5 and 5+5. Each one has lasted a little longer than the one before, at this rate I'll be 90 before one reaches term

Welcome! But hope you fuck off soon!

MissH I am so sorry. Can't begin to imagine how your feeling. I am actually sat here having a little cry for you :( it's like you guys have all become my friends. I can't get why bad things happen to such good people?! I hope your as ok as anyone ever can be, thinking of you xxx

MissH I'm so very very sorry. Nothing much more I can really say but hope that you get the best treatment possible today.

MissH I am so so sorry

Thanks *MissH same to you!

That actually really made me laugh, which I definitely needed so

Hope your next few days pass as well as they can in the circumstances and you get the support you need

MissH so sorry for you. Welcome to the RMC club; the one no one want to be a member of. Thinks to do now, grim as it is, catch and save anything that you pass. take it to the epu asap. If you take it to a&e, be clear that they are NOT to store it in formaldehyde. This will render it useless for testing. Genetic testing is an important part of your journey to diagnosis. I know its horrid, but any information you can get will help you later. Insist on getting a referral to St Marys of Liverpool for immunology and clotting and perhaps self refer to Coventry if you can for Prof Quenby's clinic for diagnosis of any implantation issues. That costs £360. I'd complain about your midwife, insensitive so and so. Keep any appointments you have, best to have any scans you can as they can get an idea of any immediate issues and order tests on the 'products' (sorry). Also, a big bleed doesn't always mean mc, and you'll want to confirm that. Thinking of you and wishing you well, under the circumstances. x

bloody predictive text... things... St Marys OR Liverpool...

Oh no missh I have everything crossed that it is not another MC. Might be worth a call to your local EPU see what they say? I can understand why you wouldn't want to go in and see all the happily unaware upduffers. It seems variable where you need to wait. In Edinburgh you have to go in to the hospital by the same door but they have a separate waiting and scanning rooms for the EPU. Take care of yourself. Big hugs x

for MissH, thinking of you. So sorry for your loss, hope it's not too physically painful x

EPU Say to wait for my scan on Monday unless I feel ill

Had a nap, drinking coffee, I'll be ok, just devastated

Thanks for all the support ladies!

I am such a cowbag. On the bus and saw a v preggers woman walking down the street. Was sat there thinking that should be me (due date in 11 days sigh) Founf myself giving her evils wtf is that about. Gave myself to stern talking to.
On thd upside. I am off to see Justin Timberlake tonight. Wouldn't be doing that if I was due soon would I

MissH I am so very sorry you and your OH are going through this again Life is so bloody unfair. Sending you love and hugs.

So sorry missH. Such a horrible time, do take it easy you poor thing

MissH - so sorry you are going through it again. Can't imagine how you must be feeling. Agree with the others re attending on Monday, if you can brave it. At my local EPU, they do these appointments first thing in the morning, so you don't have to sit in the same waiting room.

HollyBen - don't feel bad about thinking like that. Getting past your due date is really tough & its ok to feel that way, at least for a while

DH: "Do you fancy Toad in the Hole tonight?
Me: "phnar phnar"

I've turned into Finbar Saunders!

@ Tanny

So sorry to read your post missh many hugs being sent your way xx At the hospital I go to, the epu is on the gynae assessment ward so although it's still in the maternity building, it's on a different floor so you don't see bumps at all. Hopefully your hospital will be the same xx

Mornung ladies, I've stuck it out a couple more days, still no AF & got to 17dpo so have broken the rules, poas & ......BFP!!!

Am a bit shell shocked tbh - really want to be excited but mostly feeling pretty scared.

*Morning!

Congratulations omama! I can understand why you're scared, but hopefully this one will stick and you will have a perfectly boring pregnancy.

I'm off to a spa for the day in a little while, just me and a good book while DH looks after DD - can't wait!! I do love a good massage and haven't had one in ages.

Hope everyone else has a nice Sunday too.

omama have a skate wing across your chops, and a yay for the bfp. I hope your anxieties are totally unfounded!
