Hi everyone, I know this is probably a bit early (since it isn't July yet) but I thought I would start a new thread for those who lost their tickets for previous busses and for those who are beginning their bus journey now. Please feel free to add your stats to the list and grab a good seat while you can. Best of luck to everyone TTC and I look forward to getting many BFP's posted on here.

Choccy, try not to get disappointed in the enforced break. I know it seems like a long time but in the grand scheme of things if it gets you to where you need to be it'll all be worth it. Having a plan of action is a good thing. You'll get there lovely, keep positive Smile

Treacle - sorry to see you're feeling down. I know it's hard but try not to think about where you would've been. It makes it easier. Hugs sweetie.

MrsGinger - I'm sorry it seems you've mc'd twice. Will the dr count that officially as two? I hope he does. Fx your levels will be down soon enough.
I'm feeling surprisingly positive. In the grand scheme of things I've fallen twice, each after about 3/4 months so hopefully my body will play ball and next will be more successful. I'm by passing all supplements this time, as I'm sure they contributed to my wonky cycles after the first mc. Sticking to basic frolic acid and vit d. And maca - brilliant for energy and all round well being.

Hugs all round to anyone feeling down. Hope you all have lovely weekends and get plenty of DTD in!!

Treaclepie19 · 27/06/2014 23:15

Thanks English , i know I shouldn't think about that. It's just so hard. It's stuck in my head.

Rainbow555 · 27/06/2014 23:17

Sorry to those having a tough time Thanks
treacle I don't think you can put a timeframe on grief so don't beat yourself up, and that is what we are all hear for-to help each other out!

hope it starts to get easier for you soon.

It's the weekend here and the sun is shining, love winter sun! Going to try and stock up on vit d today :)

Treaclepie19 · 27/06/2014 23:21

Thanks rainbow :)
I know I'll get there. It's just a long road.

EnglishGirlsReturned · 27/06/2014 23:21

It will get easier treacle. I promise. Have you got any nice holidays to look forward to, something nice that'll take your mind off things?

Treaclepie19 · 27/06/2014 23:23

Not really :( we can't really afford it.
We have our anniversary in august. We're staying at our wedding venue. If im not pregnant we will go on holiday in august.

I think the hardest part is everyone thinks miscarriage is so quick to happen and so easy to get over. Friends and family I mean.

EnglishGirlsReturned · 27/06/2014 23:36

I think people assume that when the physical part is over the emotional part is too. I definitely took a good 3 months to get to back to normality after the first.
Staying at your wedding venue will be lovely. Even a night away can sometimes do the world of good.
I've just booked a holiday for beginning of sept, going the day I should have been due had I not mc'd the first. Will also be our first wedding anniversary while we're away too. I think being away will definitely help, especially as I have 2 friends due around then too, hopefully they'll both pop while I'm away!

Treaclepie19 · 28/06/2014 00:23

People dont even seem to ubderstand the physical part. To be honest i was one of those people before. Blisfully unaware of the amount of pain and suffering. It will be nice for you to be away. I have the same predicament.

My best friend is due the day before our wedding anniversary. At least we will be away.

fattycow · 28/06/2014 02:47

Someone close to me popped today. I am happy for her, but I so wish I could go see the baby knowing there is one growing inside me too...

cinnamongreyhound · 28/06/2014 07:06

It's so hard isn't it! Although this is my first cycle ttc I've wanted to have another for a long time and would cry each time someone told me they were pregnant. So pleased for them but so sad it was me too.

Choccywoccydodah · 28/06/2014 07:50

Treacle, mc is so difficult. My first would have been due 20th July and I am absolutely dreading it.
I just keep looking at (as my friend put it last night) our perfect little embryo that we did create and wonder why this is happening.
It does get easier with time I promise. You'll always think of the what ifs and why me, but you'll drive yourself crazy if you get stuck in a rut and don't move on.
Fingers tightly crossed that this was a one off for you and you'll get your sticky one soon.

I'm going to jump off again tbh ladies.
I need to concentrate on the family I do have.
Thank you for your support and best wishes.
I will pop on occasionally to let you know about the tests etc if that's ok?

Yes spinning off to singapore on 18th sept, so looking forward to it especially now! I've even had a look at my cycles and if I'm not of before, I should be ovulating around then so who knows? Dh was made and born there so that would be good wouldn't it.
I'm going to spend the next couple of months losing some weight and going back to my fitness classes I was told were not suitable for pregnancy, you never know it may even help!

Take care of yourselves and I hope not to see too many of you on the September bus!
Lots of love and hugs to you all xxxx

EnglishGirlsReturned · 28/06/2014 08:00

Wishing you all the luck in the world Choccy! Fx next time you pop back you'll hopefully have some really good news for us. Look after yourself. X

FoscarC · 28/06/2014 08:13

I am not sure if this helps at all but to everyone who is having trouble - I mentioned yesterday about my sister who is due to have her second baby anyway. Well she had her first with no trouble at all and she is now 6. But prior to this second one she had 5 early mc's and also had the horrid horrid thing of having carried beyond the 12 weeks and then the baby dying and she had to be induced to give birth to it at about 16 weeks. Which was all terrible but now for no reason (she had no intervention) she has a very healthy 40 week pregnancy. There seems no reason why the others failed.
I am not sure if this will help but I hope it's a positive that things can change.
I also know that she will never forget he mc's and I don't expect anyone ever does. It's terribly sad and you can't expect it just to go away. I hope you all feel better.
choccy take care. I hope it all sorts itself out and you get your sticky bean.x

FoscarC · 28/06/2014 08:14
  • any day not anyway. Have typos.
FoscarC · 28/06/2014 08:15

Hate typos!!!!! Not have typos! Honestly! Must proof read.

KittyVonCatsington · 28/06/2014 08:38

Lots of hugs n kisses goodbye choccy - read back and I totally understand. Will still be thinking of you though - you always know the right thing to say!

treacle hope you feel better this morning. It seems to have taken over my every thought too and it's been 4 months for me. I feel that I would be able to forget more if so many people close to me, didn't get so lucky instead of me (the friend on the same road and seven colleagues at work: it's like the universe rubbing my face in it) I keep having to be cheery around them and agree with their 'moans' when all I want to do is shout at them to remind them how lucky they are. Then to top it all off, I feel guilty for thinking that as it isn't their fault. I have this current strange feeling where I feel like I have resigned myself to not being one of the lucky ones. No panic, desperation, needy feelings anymore. Just seems so far away.
Phew, actually very therapeutic to see that all written down...sorry for my rant!

MrsG super big hug from me over what the doctor told you. So very sorry to hear that

Grand your chart looks fine to me, (and i must have seen every one of them on ff!) wish I ovulated so early! Cd16 for me and loads of EWCM still but no +VE OPK and temps still steady.

Welcome Mulberry82, Teadrinkerandatinker and JaneyTea as well!

TheGrandHighWitch · 28/06/2014 08:49

Thanks for looking KittyVonCatsington. It is reassuring to get others point of view on it. I am probably just a bit wobbly due to the fact that this cycle I took my last pack of clomid from ttc dc2 which was a year out of date so I have no idea what it has done to my cycle. Am also back to being symptomless again so far today.

Choccywoccydodah good luck to you and I hope you get that BFP you deserve when the time is right for you.

treacle hugs to you and hope you feel better soon.
choccy thinking of you x hope you get sorted out soon and look forward to hearing from you xxhugs!

Blueskygirl30 · 28/06/2014 10:11

Oh choccy huge hugs for you. Please do pop in and let us know how you're doing.

And hugs for you too Treacle. Being on my first cycle I can only imagine how you are feeling. You have to let yourself grieve and take your own time. I may not have this specific experience but I do know that you can't rush yourself and I know how hard it is when no one else seems to understand. I really hope you get a sticky bean soon!

Welcome Mulberry, Teadrinker and Janey!

Wineandchoccy · 28/06/2014 10:16

choccy will be thinking of you, good luck x

treacle in RL people seem to expect you to carry on with life and think its odd if you have a bad day. Hope you feel better today.

We have got 2 parties today a 40th and a house warming if anybody asks me do you have children or when are you having a baby I think I may scream!

lp2014 · 28/06/2014 10:35

Treacle my lovely, sending you a huge hug. Thinking of you xxxx

Choccy- best of luck. I hope you pop in to check on us xx

mrscog · 28/06/2014 10:49

Blimey, I've been gone for 36 hours and I'm 200 posts behind! I've skimmed the posts I've missed, and there seems to have been lots of sadness and disappointment around :( hugs to you all, and Flowers.

Choccy best of luck, enjoy Singapore xxx

spinningirl10 · 28/06/2014 12:38

Choccy, sorry you're leaving us. Really hope your time out is what you need and next time we see you you'll have good news for us. Have a fab time in SingaporeGrin

Treacle, mc is tough and everyone recovers at a different pace. It will get easier but you can't help but think of the milestones. My due date from my mc is next Friday, I said to dp last night, If I'd opted for a elcs ( last birth was emergency cs) then we would probably have our baby nowSad
We just have to keep believing that we will have our sticky beans soonThanks

laurano81 · 28/06/2014 12:40

Hey! I was shattered after acupuncture, so I had a nice relaxing bath with epson salts & had an early night! x

CD 12 & I think I will feel like the washing machine in the picture, with all the DTD! x hehe Grin!

I must read back through the thread, but I hope everyone is well! x
