New thread!
This thread pretty much does what it says on the tin...
Shall we start with some stats?
I'm 32, TTC since last Jan, 2x MMC last year and on second cycle of trying again.

I've got a line! Staring at it in disbelief! I've had pink spotting yesterday and a bit today but at 11dpo a line on a frer! DH is at work for another 3 hours!

Yay missMrs! Implantation spotting????

MissMrsMummy · 22/04/2015 15:26

Yes maybe it was red. It was different to my normal pre-AF spotting and m/c spotting (which is brownish) this was more pinky/peachy (sorry tmi) so hopefully different is good in this case!

MarysPrayer · 22/04/2015 15:53

Hey MissMrs, congratulations! Smile Really, really hope this little bean sticks.

I caved and poas this morning - bfn. Sad I'm only about 11po an AF isn't even due until Sunday so it was a bit silly really. Still feeling a bit deflated.

I've still got my fingers crossed for you Fizzy

MissMrsMummy · 22/04/2015 15:56

Thanks marys me too Smile sorry about your bfn but it may be to early for you - I think mine have only showed at 11dpo because I have 25 day cycles and I think I must be an early implanter because of this! Fx you get a bfp soon x

Romeolovesjuliet · 22/04/2015 16:50

Congrats MissMrs, brilliant news!

Fizzie100 · 22/04/2015 16:54

I'm feeling more relaxed today like what will be will be. I haven't had any more brown and I think the shock of yesterday jolted me into taking a step back from the baby name dreaming (I know...I know) and go back to a day at a time x

CarrotPuff · 22/04/2015 17:23

Fizzie lI'm glad your spotting has stopped. Keeping everything crossed for you Flowers One day at a time, and you'll get to your due date! Smile

Congrats MissM, wonderful news! Keeping everything crossed for you too!

Marys you're not out till the witch appears. But I would advise to stay away from pissy sticks until you're late.

mrsdiddlydoo · 22/04/2015 17:50

Wowed missmrs that's a definite result. Big congratulations. The spotting will have been implantation related. How exciting.

And I agree with carrot Mary. You're not out yet. I only got a real squinter the day AF was due this month. Zilch the day before which I stupidly wasted because I knew I wouldn't be able to focus at work. Only slightly more clear a couple of days after that.

ibeka · 22/04/2015 18:04

Congratulations MissMrs! Hope you have a very healthy 9 months coming up!

fizzie keeping everything crossed for you.

Marys was poss a bit early... I POAS at 11 dpi last time and got a BFN but got a squinter at 12DPO.

I'm feeling very fed up today. Work is crap and I've stopped caring enough about it to make the effort. Can't help thinking there's no point in TTC as I'll just MC again with these silly antibodies.

MissMrsMummy · 22/04/2015 18:43

Hi fizzie glad you are feeling a bit better today. I'm with you now on the 'one day at a time' just enjoy being pregnant for now. Plus I am thinking, we have dealt with m/c at least once before and it didn't break us so we can get through this xx

ibeka sorry you are having a low day. I know how you feel about work. Sometimes I throw myself into it as a distraction but others I cannot be bothered.

I'm having bloods done with a private consultant just to check all is ok.

mrsdiddlydoo · 22/04/2015 19:46

ibeka I think its really cool that you're taking part in the trial. I've seen it advertised but nowhere helpfully local is doing it near me. I realise you stand a 50/50 chance of getting the placebo, but you might get the meds and the project could benefit loads of ladies in future. Its not going to increase your chances of mc. Mc sucks. And the antibodies might increase the risk of mc but they don't make a baby impossible. Every pregnancy is another opportunity. New lining. New egg. Sometimes it just takes some people a bit longer to get ones that are meant to be together and make a healthy baby destined to become part of our lives. Doesn't make any of it easier though. It will happen for you. I'm sorry I didn't mean to go off on some stupid positive ranting thing. But I know how you feel. We all do. Its horrible having rubbish days.

Mamama31 · 22/04/2015 19:50

Missmrs this has cheered me up so much after a long emotional day! Huge congrats! And lots of prayers for you to have a sticky little one this time, you deserve it so much!

D&c is all over, I am home and even managed a couple of hrs sitting out in the sun. Exhausted now though. It was a very emotional day but once I got home I felt a huge relief and also some hope that we can get through this and ttc again soon.

I hope to join you ladies for some ttc after mmc support soon.

Missmrs were you back on the vits? Which ones? The nurse told me today before I left hospital that there is no reason to not ttc as soon as the bleeding stops and that I am likely more fer

Mamama31 · 22/04/2015 19:53

Sorry stupid phone!
*likely more fertile after a mc, and that seems true in your case :) hoping I'm the same after nearly 2 yrs ttc for our first bfp!!!!

Anyway feeling groggy, DH has filled a hot water bottle and I am going to snuggle under a fluffy blanket the rest of the evening.

I feel sad, but also hopeful and I look forward to chatting to everyone on here soon and so delighted to have come on to find Missmrs news!!!! X

MrsConfusion · 22/04/2015 20:24

Thanks for good wishes ladies. Sorry I haven't caught up.

I still can't work out what to make of RMC clinic yesterday. Consultant said our history (12 loss, cystic hygroma, 7 week natural and ectopic) all seemed like jolly bad luck rather than a single cause. Then she ordered blood tests (8 vials, filled to top) and uterus scan just in case. She mentioned something about uterus shape in one of the mc scans and something about progesterone in the ectopic - but that was after I'd asked about low level of prog in the latter two losses and she's said it was nothing. I still don't really understand ectopic timeline. Good news is they'll scan at 6 weeks if I get pregnant again and fortnightly thereafter as 'there's some evidence that looking after people helps'. Still in a muddle about it allbut probably what I expected.

Then today, massive baby bomb. Closest local friend is 13 weeks. She told me several times in last 6 months or so they weren't trying. In fact she's really struging with being full time parent to her DS (same age as my Dd). Wtf??? Has she been lying to me? Hysterical sobbing on DH which isn't helping with his stress levels. I am so mixed up with jealousy and rage and hurt.

Right now it feels like there's no point working hard to put myself back together again as something else will come along to knock me out again.

Sorry, that's all really selfish and me me me but I just needed to get it out. Don't know who to phone in RL. Might just open a bottle of wine and say sod it to all the work I should do tonight.

MissMrsMummy · 22/04/2015 20:41

Thanks ladies Smile and mamama well done for getting through such a tough day. You are very strong Flowers

I started all my vitamins again straight away after mc. Here are the details:

Boots conception support for me and DH
B complex 2 x a day every day of cycle (stopping now in case it's not safe)
Evening primrose oil 3 x a day from cd1 to ov
Grapefruit juice from cd1 to ov (really helps with ewcm!)
Pineapple juice from ov to now

We both also started CoQ10 about 2 weeks ago but not sure if that's done anything. And a few Brazil nuts here and there, but again probably not enough to do anything.

ALSO not sure if this is just a coincidence but we used Preseed and Conceive Plus for over a year with no luck. Now I have had 2 pregnancies the 2 cycles I didn't use it! Hmm

Hope that's helpful to some of you x

MarysPrayer · 22/04/2015 20:43

Thanks for your kind support. I guess I was hoping to be one of those lucky few who implant early, produce oodles of lovely hcg and get a bfp at 11dpo (eyes MissMrs with envy Smile )

I'm sorry that so many are having such a rough time atm. Flowers

MarysPrayer · 22/04/2015 20:44

MissMrs I've read that, unless you need the lubrication, preseed and suchlike are more of a con hindrance than a help.

littlebbunny · 22/04/2015 23:46

OMG! So happy for MissMr Wishing you a healthy and happy 9 months.

This was the day I started spotting before my mc. I'm completely dry and temps still up although who really knows how the body works.

MissMrsMummy · 23/04/2015 06:20

My temp has plummeted Sad seeing consultant this morning - hoping he can help me.

Romeolovesjuliet · 23/04/2015 07:29

Mrs C I'm sorry you didn't get more answers from the RMC but I guess it's good that they don't immediately think there is something 'wrong'. That's an awful lot of bad luck, which has to run out at some point, right? Baby bomb sounds very tough and I totally get feeling like you've been lied to - that would upset me too. Be kind to yourself.
MissMrs I hope everything is ok and you get some good advice from your consultant today.
littleb it's hard reaching these milestones but remember this is a completely different pregnancy and there is no reason why it should go wrong.

redredwine4 · 23/04/2015 07:44

Sending you lots of hugs missmrs xx
