TTC after MC; hand holding, hugs and lots of things that can JTFO!

[Treaclepie19]

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?

Sorry and congrats to river and daisy and thank you for folic advice x x

Mornjng
Thanks treacle
So here we all are, fingers crossed for those with BFPs and hugs for those trying to get there....

Stats
TTC #1 just over year and a half, 2 x mc at 10 and 11 weeks

Newest ploy to stop being so obsessed with TTC, but a van and do up as a camper! Has been nice to google something other than mc stats & obscure ways to improve conception chances

No Metal, just to take it. I don't know if they've only studied women with repeat miscarriage or not. Could taking double do any harm? I know my friend who's heavier was told to take double because of her weight but I don't know if it would cause a problem for someone lighter. ..

Hi ladies

Thanks for the new thread treacle

Haven't had chance to read through everything yet, will reply properly later on.

WTF is officially over and AF is here in full flow - I'm really pleased and feeling very positive re a new cycle.

Stats quickly are:

OneDay, 27, TTC #1, cycle 1 after MMC June (TTC 3 months prior to that)

Happy Wednesday to you all!

Folic acid....I am in 5mg's so way in excess if normal dose as my baby had a nur tube defect. Clearly I am not a doctor but I can't think why you couldn't double up.

one day glad you've reached end of wtf cycle and are feeling more positive.

I'm also feeling more positive as yesterday's pregnancy test was very very nearly a squinter!
A deffo positive, but one where if you were TTC then you would be saying I'll test again tomorrow before being sure.
So I'm hoping by sat which will be t
3 weeks post miscarriage that it will be negative

We've been not trying but not preventing this month. We just decided to relax, wait for AF before thinking about ovulation etc!

Thanks for the new thread, Treacle.
So, (deep breath), I'm TTC #1 since autumn 2011, 3x mmcs, all tests at St Mary's fine, septum removed, biopsy at Coventry, low end of normal. Still plugging away. Thinking of taking up an expensive hobby instead of having family...

I've heard of larger ladies being given higher doses of folic acid too, so I guess a little more probably won't hurt [pops second pill of the day]. Thanks for the tip daisy!

My god I don't want to sound remotely hopeful but I have creamy cm in the pant area. I am not going to test as I like the feeling of having a glimmer of hope.

Just checking in

Stats: Fox, TTC #1 for 8 months, mc June at 11 weeks

Just waiting for AF to JTFO .......

Hi, can I join please? I'm on the august bus as well.

I had a TFMR due to anencephaly 18 months then nearly died from complications afterwards.

This is our first month TTC since that.

And I'm terrrified. But excited! It all feels a bit much at the moment and my mind is racing through all the things that could go wrong, I just desperately want to enjoy it
I'm on 5mg folic acid prescription, plus pregnacare tablet, plus high folic acid diet so roughly 800 x RDA by my count. Fx that works!

Sorry for the self pity.

Stats: BitchPeas 25 Ttc no #2 cycle 1 TFMR Dec '12 at 14 weeks.

Haven't had. A chance to read back properly. My stats are

Age30, TTC#1 1year. MC dec 13, MC (blighte ovum) June 14.

Daisy can I just check it's 800mg and not 800mcg of Folic acid a day?

That's what I thought tori - I think to get 800mg a day you'd have to swallow a whole bucket load of pills!

bitchpeas your post resonates with me. I tfmr @16wks in May, ttc #1. I didn't have complications after and I am terrified so really feel for you. Welcome and sorry you are here but we will all help you!

Marking my place

DontBeBlue 26, currently in WTF cycle after MMC passed naturally, TTC#1

It's been about 4 weeks since the bleeding stopped for good, got a lovely BFN 2 weeks ago, so just sitting waiting for AF! Hopefully in the next 2 weeks, but in the meantime staying away from HPTs at all costs. I will, i will, i will.

Hi all

Can I mark my place? I've been lurking on Mumsnet for a few months but not joined a bus before :)

I'm 25, TTC no 1, MC 6 weeks ago at 7 weeks, had only been trying for 2 cycles before that so hopeful it won't take too long before getting another BFP.

Still waiting on AF to arrive, so very much in the WTF cycle!

Best of luck to all wishing you lots of sticky bean dust.

Hello to the newbies I'm sorry for your losses but hopefully you'll find everyone on here to be kind and understanding

So here's one to add to the JTFO list. Peaches Geldof. I know this is strictly nothing to do with mc or this thread but just seen that her inquest today found she was taking heroin again and that it contributed to her death. I'm v much a hippy parent (gentle or attachment parenting is the "label") and she did a great job of promoting it, which won her lots of cred from me. But to take heroin when you have a one and two year old?! No. JTFO. Lost all semblance of respect for the selfish....

Aaaaaanyway.

I'll just pop the soap box over here, in case anyone else wants it... [slips out the room quietly, hoping no one noticed that little rant]

Sorry yes, it's double the normal dose!

Welcome to any newbies.. sorry for your losses. This is definitely the gang no one ever wants to join.
One of my best friends gave birth to a little boy today. Another friend had her little girl on Monday. I want a baby!! Obviously over the moon for them but, I want mine too!!

Welcome newbies, I hope you have a short stay!

Thanks for the best wishes, I just want the 9 months to fly by without any mishaps.

Broody rant away, that is why we are here!
English I know it's hard hearing about other people's deliveries. I still remember the day I found out my baby was incompatible with life. When I went home that day, my husbands cousins wife sent me a picture of her baby girl born that day. I was pleased for her but it broke my heart.

I will always remember that day.

Congratulations hope26 and florence

I feel your pain english I've had 5 family members/close friends give birth in the last 2 months. It's too much for me most of the time

I'm feeling really anxious about possible scare tissue on my Fallopian tubes/uterus, and it leaving me infertile. I can't explain it, and I have no reason to think this has happened, I was treated with intravenous antibiotics within 48 hours of falling ill after TFMR and had ultrasounds for 6 months afterwards and they all looked fine. But I just can't stop feeling it, it's as if I don't believe I'll ever have another baby and keep thinking of things that will stop it happening. I feel like I'm going crazy and just want a baby right now there has been a emptiness inside me since I lost the baby, and I just can't stand it anymore, I want it to be gone.

Sorry for the self pity. I don't have anyone in RL that would understand this, hopefully one/some of you will

*scar tissue not scare tissue
