'TTC after a miscarriage - new thread'

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??

DH and I are off this weekend on a dirty weekend. We are going to this hotel

MacDonald St Paul's
It has a spa and everything

lissielousknockedupatlast · 03/02/2007 07:55

ooh, have you bought new undies

Catbabymummy · 03/02/2007 08:02

I haven't, I should persuade dh to fork out...

lissielousknockedupatlast · 03/02/2007 08:06

lol, get him to stop off on the way. you cant have a dirty w/end without new slinkies

gillian1973 · 03/02/2007 16:41

Hi all, feeling a bit down today. AF arrived in full glory on the 2/2 after I caught myself daydreaming of having a baby for my Oct birthday (don't I ever learn?). Anyhow, this was my first cycle following a little break after the mc so I cannot expect miracles. Good news is that my cycle is almost back to normal now and it should be easier to tell when I ovulate. Sigh!!

However, I am feeling low because MIL is here planning her 60th birthday which just happened to be my due date. Admittedly, the party is happening the week before but even though I have been coping better with the grief this weekend has been full of 'what ifs' and giving a weary smile at the thought of going into labour at the party. So sorry bring the tone down, but I knew you girls would know how this feels....

plummymummy · 03/02/2007 22:17

Oh gillian, maybe we will be successful together in March. Chin up lass - positive vibes needed to conceive healthy beanies. Can you treat yourself to something nice to cheer yourself up a bit? We'll be bding around the same time as my af was due 5 or 6th but has come a bit early this month.

Catbabymummy · 04/02/2007 14:15

So sorry Gillian, It must feel like a great big letdown, but at least your cycle is getting back to normal. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you and plummymummy get your beans togther - only 2 weeks for to ov!

Catbabymummy · 04/02/2007 15:53

I'm back from dirty weekend, hotel was fab, breakfast amazing, dh and I were very dirty
Now feeling very tired and cold
Just curious, when I was pg I felt the cold even more I do now (I suffer from Reynauds). Anyone else?

plummymummy · 04/02/2007 19:46

No just suffer from winteritis and associated gloom. Glad you enjoyed the hotel......and dp

Mumpbump · 05/02/2007 11:07

Just thought I'd pop in to see what's been going on over the weekend. Feeling quite envious of Catbabymummy - after two weeks of cellibacy due to illness, dh has now said that sex is off the agenda for the forseeable future as he doesn't want to jeopardise the baby...

gillian1973 · 05/02/2007 11:51

Thanks all for your support, I knew i would find some sympathetic MNs here. Glad all the family is away now and we can have a bit of peace and quiet.

Plummymummy, here's to our beans!

plummymummy · 05/02/2007 12:28

Yay Sideways cycle similar to ours also. Anyone else?

gillian1973 · 05/02/2007 14:09

would be fun to graduate together!

Catbabymummy · 05/02/2007 14:27

Blooming 'eck it's freezing today!
Well me & dh have been shagging every couple of days so hopefully will be successful soon. Was a bit stupid and did a test this morning, bfn(unsurprisingly). Just bought 20 tests of ebay so I can test once a week! I'm sending half of them to my friend who is ttc, or least will be when her dh returns from where he has been posted! He's on a training course down south, and will be there for 2 months (he's in the RAF).

feedmenow · 05/02/2007 14:31

Oh, I need a bit of sympathy today. I'm a bit
Finished bleeding after ERPC, so first round of chandelar swinging arose at the weekend. Had had a couple of drinks on Saturday evening and ended up bursting into tears while in the middle of things and bawling my eyes out until I pretty much must have cried myself to sleep. Will every sesh remind me of the m/c and leave me in tears?

Catbabymummy · 05/02/2007 14:56

Poor you, your just a bit fragile atm, I still get a bit tearful at times, and admit I'm completely obsessive about getting pg again.
Big hug for you!

feedmenow · 05/02/2007 15:07

Thanks Catbaby. I just hate all this and really can't work out if getting into this again so quickly is right or wrong for me. I cried cos of the m/c, but as you saw in The Hut, I also feel rather peeved that dp didn't "get to where he was meant to be going" (trying to talk nice as bad language and smutty terminology only acceptable in The Hut!!) But I don't want to wait cos I already feel "robbed" of more than 3 months, as in the time I spent pg is completely wasted and it would have been better to have not been pg then, but to have had to try another month or 2 but then have a successful one! God, I'm even confusing myself now so I think I'd best shut up!

gillian1973 · 05/02/2007 15:21

((HUGS)) feedmenow, mcs completely do your head in and all rational thought goes out of the window.

I mc at 9 wks in Oct and to this day feel very cheated about the whole thing. Sometimes I am very sad and overcome and cry myself to sleep too and other times I am upbeat and positive and know I have to maintain a good frame of mind when TTC, even though it is hard.

You are amoungst friends here, so get it off your chest girl!!

feedmenow · 05/02/2007 15:33

Thz Gillian. Did you wait at all mefore getting back in the saddle?
