TTC after a MC (I'm really rubbish at thread titles sorry)

[DoctorDonnaNoble]

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?

tori my dh swears by 5.2 diet. i tried it once but he told me i was too grumpy to deal with so never to do it again
dukan works for me but it is too extreme while ttc.

Thank you all for understanding. I thought I was going to get slated for being a bitch!

I'm a bit more chubster now post pregnancy. I don't think I had enough time to gain any actual pregnancy weight, it's just I was too bloody tired to move about as much as I did before. Then when I did try and go to a class at the gym they were really arsey about me being there because I told them I was pregnant. I went from doing 3 - 4 classes a week, to just going for the odd walk. And of course I comfort ate chocolate after the MC.

I told a woman at work about the MC for the first time last week. She said that on one particular day she was about to say that I looked pregnant! Now I know I shouldn't be upset about someone thinking I looked pregnant when I actually was pregnant, but I shouldn't have looked it at that stage!

tori you should go! im off to nyc next week for work and ticket was less than 500 quid. reasonable bargain for that far...

Another chubster here too! I gained over a stone while I was pregnant then a few more pounds crept on in the aftermath of the mc. I know bubba was 12 weeks when I mc but even so... a stone I did the Cambridge diet, lost the stone in two weeks (it's severe) then moved on to Boossh which was similar to CD but tastier and more options. You can do 5:2 on that - on your fasting days, you can choose Boossh products to help. It's not shakes city like cd (but they do sell them if you want) but there's skinny pasta, soups, bars, cereal, rice, noodles. Defo recommend it.

Before mc, I don't think any of us would have imagined there'd be an army of women out there who dread turning on the tv, logging on to fb, reading mags or papers in case they're met with news about celebrity pregnancies. I know I was completely ignorant and naive to it all. But I don't think we should cover up our feelings or feel bad for being grumpy about someone's announcements - it's only natural we feel what we do after the shittiness we have been through. We are all in this together and at least we understand each other's anxieties and what makes us tick these days - even if our dh or dp's don't. Our time will come, girls. We have to believe it.

NYC sounds fab brilliant Brummie, hope you have a fab time. We are looking to go in Jan as we feel like we need something exciting to look forward to.

Ive been away for a week to my moms which has been great but as soon as I get home I feel like my brain is already analysing everything my body is doing. I'm hoping I will get my first AF since my mmc next week so I can feel like things are moving forward. I've not managed to read back what I've missed but I hope everyone is ok and big hugs to whoever needs one x

Oh I thought I'd add I'm a super chubbier at the moment, Ive put on so much weight due to the pregnancies and then the depression of the ms's. Diet starts tmrw as we have a wedding at the end of next month!!

Just turned on channel four - Jamie Oliver's Comfort Food. Fellow fatties, do not watch!! I swear I've put on another stone just watching him make ravioli and an orgasmic looking cheese toastie and now he's making a chicken tikka masala!

What is the Cambridge diet? (I know I could google. I probably will!) I am doing a 'starvation/no carbs/but lots of wine while I can' kind of diet. Trying to eat loads for breakfast, big-ish lunch and hardly anything for dinner, mainly protein and green veg. It's bloody boring. At least I can drink, right?

So this parsley tea and Vitamin C overload seems to be working...TMI alert: pee was laced with red gunk. I am hopeful. I will get there. WE will get there. 2015 will see chubby babies.

Hugs to all x

broody I was just drooling at that too. Love love love Jamie!

Oh and I'm a chubster too (in car you couldnt tell).
Lost a stone and a bit before getting pregnant. Currently about half a stone of its back on :(
Back to calorie counting as it's the only thing that works. I tried 5:2 and couldn't keep it up. Weight watchers is too strict ok carbs. Don't like slimming world really.
Still, back on track with my calorie counting hopefully. It upset me being classed as obese again by my bmi.
I'm a 14/16 on top and a 16/18 bottom.

haha broodie the cheese toastie! I was watching that too and switched over.

I actually lost almost half a stone when I was preg... I really didn't want to want at all. Just banana bread and crumpets with jam. Dr said "well that's a good sign" then later that day I found out I was going to MC. Argh.

It feels stupid but each pregnancy I've been a little bit overweight and I've thought "oh well at least now I AM preg if someone asks" then I go through the whole guilt and disappointment when it ends.

DH is making plans for a bit extended-family trip in April next year, I just told him I'm not making plans more than 1 month out at the moment. Who the knows what I'll be doing in April, and I'm bloody well not having another MC abroad!

Another chubber here. Don't weigh myself but went up a dress size in first preg and never managed to lose it. Loving the chubby babies!!

I've just managed to get in a fight with someone on a thread complaining her 20w scan was crap bcos the sonographer wasn't nice enough to her. I've never got involved in anything like that before but I couldn't help myself. Oh dear.

We need some posivrickingtivity ladies! Who's getting a BFP this month? Not been one in too long. Is anyone else testing this weekend/soon?

Is it really bad that I want to see that thread Monten and cheer you on fighting our corner? I'm a bad person!!

Oh Monten don't worry. I just don't look at the other threads too much to be honest. Saves me arguing :p

I'll be positive. BFP for me this month please! Starting dtd tonight (cd10) bfp expected 25th Sept :)

Glad things are looking up Tori :)

Oh and I agree with Brummie hehe, where's the thread??? :p

I saw that thread too, FFS. Didn't comment though.

Hi guys , I've missed a lot today! Just caught up :)

Urgh I got hit with the Royal baby bomb at work too, I sneakily checked my phone whilst in a meeting and there it was. Felt like crap so I excused myself and sat in the toilet cubicle for about half an hour. I'm sooooo glad you all had that reaction, I felt really mean but I don't now. I suppose it's normal, but now we're going to get regular updates about that. It's hard enough to avoid all pregnancy related crap but now it's nigh on impossible!

Fellow fatty here too. I was so nice and slim before DS and then piled on about 4 stone when pregnant. Managed to lose a stone and then put it back on again, ace :/. I just can't motivate myself, it's like I need an excuse to feel like crap. If it's my weight then I can control that and I can blame it for making me feel like crap and not the fact I've lost a baby which I cannot control. Think I just psychoanalysed myself there, hmm. Yep, just found the motivation behind my late night chocolate munching. Jesus.

Brummie I'm so sorry you've had a tough day, I really hope you come through this and feel much better tomorrow. We're all thinking of you, life is just so unfair. Dulcet I hope you get some answers soon, hopefully you haven't actually miscarried. I don't think the twin possibility is that impossible in this situation, it does sound like it could be an answer. I don't mean to give you false hope, but I hope that it's a positive outcome for you.

I'm just plodding along, first AF since mc. I've promised myself I won't buy any sticks this month but I'm going to crack, in fact if I'd have left work on time tonight I would have made the shop but it was closed! Someone tell me I don't need them... Or tell me if I do! Oh, I think I do if only to stop the obsessing at the end of the month. My plan is to either do none or to do them until my next AF because I somehow missed ov this month (or not - 2 positive and conflicting positives and then a week of signs from my body). I was thinking I'd we DTD every other day between now and next AF due date then surely we can't miss. Has anyone done this? Does it work? Or will DH die of exhaustion? I have quite a lot of stamina (and I'm very stubborn).

Hugs to everyone who is struggling. I'm dreading the next 4 weeks :(.

Haven't seen that thread, but I might have a look.

brummie treacle it's on the pregnancy board. It came up in active convos which is why I saw it. TBH it wasn't what she originally said, it's how she's responded or people saying 'errr, that's not a horrible scan'. Just really not very nice. I. Know one should never take these things personally but it upset me actually.

Did I just call myself 'one'?? I must be right on my high horse!

I'm testing this weekend. I'm not sure when af is due, as last cycle was 27 days but 'normal' cycles are 30-35 days.

COME ON CHUBBER BABIES
