'TTC after a miscarriage - new thread'

[Janus]

Well tried to add my bit to old thread and we have reached 1000 posts again!!
Chocolatepeanut, am so sorry for what you are going through, although you sound as if you are handling it well so far. Hope things aren't too bad for you in the coming days.
Rubles, sorry if AF does arrive, bloody bitch! My blood tests will be next week. DP sperm test threw up 'abnormal sperm' and he needs to go and discuss with the GP later this week although she did say it wasn't too much to worry about. Been meaning to start a new thread on this but haven't got around to it.
I'm looking for a yoga class to try and help me relax! Do think this whole TTC is stressing me out so much, I'm so conscious of age gaps, both our ages working against us, even worrying about if we do conceive in next couple of months as worked out it would be a July or August baby (my oldest is July born and is struggling bit with school etc). Part of me thinks it may do us all some good if I just stop ttc for a couple of months, then the other half panics about an even bigger gap, etc!!
How on earth do you all manage to relax about all this stuff??

Agree with that one plummy... Mine also spends hours on the computer aswell....

hello, i'm new to this thread can i join in please?

hi all. we're just ttc after having had 2 m/c this year. One of them was diagnosed as a partial molar pregnancy so we had to wait for 6 months to ensure that I didn't need chemo (thankfully I didn't).

I'm hoping that 2007 is going to be a good year, and that I get past 22/12 as that was the due date for our 2nd baby.

Hope you're all well

Hi merrylissiemas & zimbojules - nice to meet you both...

Hello girls, especially new ones - sorry to see you hear, but you'll find this thread so supportive, it's helped me so much over this year since I mc back in Feb.

Just had some great news though - just tested and got a BFP!!!! Almost exactly a year to the day we conceive the last one, so everything crossed this one sticks.

Here's lots of babydust, luck and love to you all
take care

Wow! Congratulations, Fettle! It's all looking good around this thread- that's three of you, isn't it?

My period's not due till Christmas Day, but I'm hopeful. We shall see.

Welcome to the two new ladies (whose names I can't remember, and are stuck at the top of this enormous thread. Sorry). As Fettle says, sorry to see you here, but stick around for a bit...

Good evening and good night to you all.

Ps: I have some early HPTs that measure from 10 whatever it is per whatever it is (10mg/ml??). Do you think it's possible to test earlier with those, and if so, how early?

Yah yah yah Festivefettle that is totally brillant. CONGRATULATIONS
I'm so happy for you

Can you manage to work out your dates with that long cycle ?????

Many Congratulations festivefettle!!!!
Great Xmas pressie for you and your hubbie...

PS - Think I have found a lucky thread... lots of people seem to be catching...

Congrats FF!!!!

Im relaxing for a while I think.

Good luck everyone else...may have a break from this board for a while and come back when im actively ttc again...

Well done on all the BFP's!!!

I have just popped in very briefly to post a question in the health section and I thought I'd come and check on how all you ladies are here and wow! what a lot of BFPs recently.

Big, big congratulations to you!! UKI and Babyfettle/festivefettle and who is the other one?? Is it someone I 'know'?
Festivefettle - you got pg really easily didn't you really, despite it being such a long cycle, it was your first cycle of trying wasn't it?

Hi All

Thanks for the congratulations.

Working out due date not hard as I know when I ovulated, as I take my basal body temp, so early Sept by my estimations, but feels funny thinking like that when I know I'm only 4 weeks pg and there is still a long way to go - just so hope this one sticks.

Rubles, great to hear from you - how you doing? It does seem to have been slightly easier this time around to conceive. Took 2 years with DD, 9 months prior to mc, but then it took 3 months for all my post-mc complications to sort out, so I only had 2 cycles TTC before DH went away for 4.5 months at the end of June, so this was the first cycle since he got back that we've been trying. Maybe it is the fact that he was extra healthy having not had alcohol for 4 months, or what I don't know. I'd practically given up on this cycle, as it was taking so long, so we actually conceived following a random, non-TTC BD!!! It's what happened both last times too, as soon as I stopped stressing it happened, but so much easier to say than actually do. Oh, I so hope that there are no problems with this pg. Already feel different to the beginning of the mc pg, but will feel happier in 8 weeks time!

Wishing you all lots of babydust and luck!!

Take care all

Hi Festivefettle and Uki -- fantastic news!!!
I wish you the very best and hope so much that everything will work out this time!!!!
Firststar very good news (phew what a scare!!!) -- and the best to you too! Please you BFPs don't leave us completely and let us know from time to time how you are doing!!!!! I miss your considerate postings, firststar, ...

About me, well not so rosy news here. Waiting for AF for the twelvth week now. Private doctor thinks I am a nutball as well (after losing my file) and wants to put me on anti-depressants, when all I want is my hormones to get checked out... It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Thanks for sharing your story Festivefettle, I still hope I will follow your footsteps and things will return to normal eventually. I am done with conventional doctor's now and if AF doesn't arrive over the X-mas break, I will go and see a well accredited accupuncturist/herbalist.

Don't want to break the happy spirit -- all the best to you all!!

PS: Do you think I am really so unreasonable?

I;d imagine D4phne that your period will arrive quite soon now that your uterus is properly clear. I think you will feel much better once that happens. I think you should insist on seeing female doctor (if you're in the UK, you are perfectly entitled to do that) to avoid that arse of a(male, I'm presuming,) GP. I am so effing sick of male doctors. AD seem to be the new antibiotic- they;re not allowed to hand those out like sweeties any more, so they've on to something else instead of making a proper diagnosis.
I have some idea of how you feel- you just want to get back to normal. I can't remember how long ago you had your second ERPC- leave it 6 weeks after that before panicking. If you charted your temperatures, you might be able to spot ovulation and therefore put your mind at rest two weeks before your period comes. You will need a digital thermometer for that. When you notice a shift in temp upwards sustained for at least three days in a row (ie not a temporary illness), you know that you have ovulate.

Hang in there.

ps: if he's private, and you don't like him, just dump him. His tough luck. You don't have to take the pills he pushes at you.

Thanks for your kind words, Dutchess. I will hang in there and look forward to lots of attention by DH over the holiday season. Am off now and might not be able to log in before January...Lots of babydust to you!!!
Happy X-mas everybody!!!

Hi All

Welcome -zimbojules, sorry for your two losses, it's really hard. I also had 2 in a row

Welcome merrylissiemn- rhat's a long name, hope your stay is short, although i'm still here after BFP coz everyone's so nice here.

duchesse- i really hope you have a BFP Christams present that would be fantastic

d4ph- hope you have a fantastic christmas/ new year, it will work out hun, look forward to hearing from you in the new year

Hi All,

Is it around 6 weeks before you get your AF (I was 24 weeks gone).... I think I ovulated last week. Thanks

Rahrah- it's usually around 2-6 weeks, apparently. (obviously a lot longer if the miscarriage was incomplete, like D4phne's was). I would imagine that is unlikely in your case- Is there a chance you will be pregnant again?

Very unlikely, only started having BD this week (Non-protected), it will be 6 weeks on Wednesday. I have booked to see the doctor next week.. I feel like I'm just about to come on.. but then nothing comes... Bloody typical - Bleed all the way through pregnancy and then when I'm meant to be bleeding it doesn't...

Sorry Rahrah , just re-read and realised I put bracket in wrong place- I meant that retained bits were unlikely in your case, since Bertie was alive at birth and his placenta would have had omissions very noticeable to onlookers if it hadn't all come out..

I'd say you'll prob get a period very soon.

Sorry, have to try festive smileys as well:

or more, importantly

[fmm]

Hope that works or I'll look like a right prat rather just bah humbuggish.

Oh! Why? Whyyyyyy??

Sorry ladies for my long absence.
Seems you have all been busy chatting away tho!!!

So, what have I missed??????

Still waiting for my BFP here.

Thanks duchesse... XX (fhmm)
