TTC after mc #4

[GuybrushThreepwoodMP]

New thread

No Melon after my first MC I made a point of deliberately ignoring the EDD of the second pregnancy so I wouldn't have to go through another - I know it was beginning of April but I don't know when exactly. I also did nothing to mark the first, except be horribly sad going about my normal life (and work). I guess it's just a personal coping strategy thing though and I've heard from quite a few ladies on RMC forums that they've got a lot of comfort from marking the day in some way. Are you going to do anything?
Hugs Cariad sorry you're going through such a horrible time... EDD combined with Mother's Day and baby bomb is the worst

Melon - I didn't do anything to mark my first EDD, and similarly to Bristolian just carried on as normal. There is a lady on another thread who decided to sponsor a child abroad to mark her mcs which I thought was a lovely way of doing something positive to mark such a sad occasion.

cariad that's crappy :-( big hugs. I had two baby bombs yesterday, more hiding people on Facebook!

Wondering how snoopy is doing?

Thanks Bristolian and Epskie - as someone on the March bus told me, the only good thing about having so many milestones in quick succession is that they'll be over quickly, and come April I can breathe a sigh of relief and know that the baby bombings/ EDDs/ Mother's Day/ Birthday blues are over for a while.

Hi cariad. Goodness a Xmas baby, had not even thought about that.

I'm miserable to. I don't like Mother's Day either. Makes me so sad and I'm having to force myself to try and not be bitter. I know it's a horrible trait but I secretly can't help it sometimes. Do you know I had to buy three cards and presses. My mum, mil and sil as everyone lambing. I don't mind and I love my niece and nephew to bits but it's just another stark reminder of where I still am. Baby booms all over the place here as well.

Going to have a nice glass of wine and watch some rubbish on the telly.

Hope everyone has a nice evening.

AlltheQueens - I'm quite up for a Christmas baby - it means I could dress it up in an elf costume pretty much as soon as it was born! Obviously, said child would no doubt hate me for being so reckless as to contemplate giving birth in the middle of the festive season, but right now I know I can't be choosy!

I feel for you having to buy so many Mother's Day gifts - I found buying my Mum's this year hard enough. I think I'm going to join you in drinking wine tonight. I've already eaten half of an enormous family sized box of today - so much for a Spring health-kick!

That should have read "box of Maltesers"!

Cariad bugger the health kick and enjoy celebrating Wales' win with more chocolate and vino xx

Thanks FiFi. How are you feeling?

You're welcome, you are alway so positive in your support for others on here, it must get tough sometimes.
I've been feeling really sick, but it's just gone off, so I've been eating Doritos! I jeep pressing my boobs every 2 mins to make sure they're still sore!

FiFi - sorry to hear you've been so nauseous, but I'm glad to hear you're having some respite. I recall the urge to press my boobs all the time very well! Hang on in there my lovely.

Omg fifi that's what I do, all the time. Sore boobs, yes or no.....

That's so funny. I really thought that was just me!!

cariad if we can do it this month I'm buying you all the festive baby outfits I can find. All of them. I can't get a smiley on my stick at all and this is the first month I've religiously done them so now I'm panicking that I don't ovulate. Which clearly I do but I actually woke myself up at 5am this morning and stood in the freezing cold bathroom to try with the hope of waking up very dh before he headed for another day of 18 hours lambing. Had a giggle tonight when he told me he heard me but was so tired he was like please don't let it be smiley till tonight.....

I lit a candle on EDD from mc1, and we had a little drunk but didn't make huge thing of it. It felt right to mark it though. In some ways once I realised I wouldn't be pg in time, in weirdly took some of the intensity away. The month before was harder for me with birth announcements galore and a desperate wish to have BFP in time. You'll know what will feel right for you.

cariad, tough days to live through.

Fifi, keep on prodding and doing whatever helps! Enjoy those Doritos

A little drink, not a little drunk. That would be a weird thing to have!! Must learn to type on phone....

Hi ladies, been thinking of you all especially MrsC.
I'm doing a lot of boob prodding too. 5 weeks today and still feeling massively paranoid after some brown spotting last weekend when my period was due. Nothing since and a 3+ on a digi today so that's all good. Just can't shake the feeling that it isn't going to work out.
Anyone on tww at the mo?

mrsC big malteaser chocolate cake is half eaten (not just by me!). Come on round! I swear cake helps fix a lot

Boob prodding is the way forward! The Doritos were good MrsC, followed by lamb tagine with pomegranate cous cous. I'm really liking citrusy sharp flavours at the mo.
Cariad I'm not sorry about the nausea- I find it reassuring. I'm hoping (in the nicest way) that it comes to you v soon.
Guy 5 weeks! That's brilliant news, the digi must have been reassuring too. I've bought a CB digi which I'm saving for a few days to chek on progress. I've already done 2 more FRers and the line is getting darker. I'm sure that your spotting was your greedy little egg getting in to the cosiest spot possible for the next 35 weeks.

Thanks FiFi - here's hoping I get the nausea soon.

Good work getting a 3+ Guy. Another milestone ticked off.

Hope you're as ok as you can be MrsC.

AlltheQueens - fear not, you're not the only one who finds themselves peeing on OPKs in the middle of the night! Loving how your DH reacted. Here's hoping you ov very soon, and that we both get to go on a baby Christmas outfit shopping spree!

Hi Melon and Bristolian, my first EDD is this Friday and I'm taking the day of to pamper myself and give myself the time and space to be a mess if I need to be. I booked the day off months ago as I'm rubbish at pretending that I'm ok, but I also MC again last week so I definitely need that day off now .

Morning lovely ladies,thinking of you all today.

Feeling abit shell shocked after reading some of the threads on aibu this morning. Maybe it's just the way I am feeling just now but I hand on heart wouldn't care if I never got a Mother's Day card so long as I was actually able to be mother. I so should not have gone on there today.

to all of you today. Extra hard for me today as we're scattering my mother in law's ashes. Too many goodbyes recently we need some good news!

Guys just a quick question - if my dh is away for 3 nights and we dtd before and after, if my ov period is then could we still miss it? :-(

Its unlikely epskie sperm can live for up to 5 days so before and after the break should cover you. Fx

Just want to give you all a huge cuddle. I sense everyone is very down right now.

I'm minimum contact with my mum so mothers day sucks for me. . Fb is full of my friends going on about how amazing their mum is. I find that hard. .dh at work so dd and I went out and blew our pocket money on the cinema and a meal out. We were the only ones in the screening and we giggled our way right through it.
