Not sure if I should start new thread for this? Is there one open already?

Hey ladies, can I jump on this thread with you all? I'm TTC #1 after a mmc at 10 weeks in February. I've been TTC for 10 months & on cycle 8. I had 4 months pause after my mmc for my thyroid bloods to return to normal. X

DancingUnicorn · 22/06/2017 18:42

Hi mouse. You are most welcome. I'm so sorry for your loss. I so hope the next stage of your journey is smoother for you. ❤️

MouseLove · 22/06/2017 19:03

Thank you. I'm coping pretty well day to day but having moments of absolute low and then bounce right back. Today I'm having a bad day. Baby bombed (yet again), friend is organising her hen weekend & chief asked if I have children, then come home to a boots parenting club mailer. Thought I'd managed to stop all the mail but seems not. Burst out crying! We've been TTC on and off (job problems, zika holiday, health issues) since 2013 so I'm probably in the feeling sorry for myself stage.

DancingUnicorn · 22/06/2017 19:10

Oh, that sounds like one hell of a day. There's a lot of baby chat at my work ATM, as someone is about to go on maternity leave. Some days I handle it well. Others I take myself all to the loos to compose myself... it's tough. The mail must be incredibly difficult.

PossibiliTea · 22/06/2017 19:16

We've had another pg announcement at work and someone has just returned from mat leave as someone else is just going on it! I am pleased for them but it does hurt and I can't escape it...

PossibiliTea · 22/06/2017 19:17

Mouse that's just rubbish. I had to email boots twice to unsubscribe me.

DancingUnicorn · 22/06/2017 19:17

I'm sorry tea. :(

PossibiliTea · 22/06/2017 19:20

Dancing how has your day been are you feeling ok x

Starshine1 · 22/06/2017 19:21

People just have no idea do they ladies! Trouble often seems to hit you on a bad day as well!

Hope your doing ok dancing?

Well done on your run conker!

Ekp, sounds like you're getting ok- hope you're being kind to yourself.

I am feeling happy after my morning melt down! Chinese being ordered for dinner and meal out cancelled! Thanks again for the support ladies

DancingUnicorn · 22/06/2017 19:25

So glad you are feeling a bit better star.

I'm doing ok. Still not a definite out, spotting seems to have slowed a little this afternoon. Hoping it stays away!! Sorry for going on! Thank you for keeping me sane.

AnneLovesGilbert · 22/06/2017 20:21

Good job star. Have a gentle night x

That's very good news dancing, keep us posted! Everything crossed for you.

I've mellowed greatly. Eating ice lollies and we've been tackling a really fun house project we've been talking about for ages. Ordered some ICs, v mixed reviews?! It's a stick you pee on...

Shattered and boobs still really sore. Wearing as little as possible as the promise thunder storm never showed up here and it's muggy as hell.

Juancornetto · 22/06/2017 20:57

I'm so crap at posting on this thread. Read all the updates but ten stay schtum. But so sorry Anne, welcome mouse (though so sorry you're here), gutted for you Ekp, hope you're OK Unicorn Flowers all round.
I've always been a late tester - when pg with DD didn't test until I was 5 days late and then last pg than ended in MC 3 days late. Thought it would save me a bit of heartache - But tested 11 DPO yesterday, got a BFN and wasn't too upset when AF arrived today (wasn't expecting it until Saturday) It's only my second AF since my MC, really wanted to get the first one and not to get this one! - but ah well - onwards!.

I've been not drinking this month but am now downing a few glasses of red before getting back on the teetotal HT wagon tomorrow Wine

AnneLovesGilbert · 22/06/2017 21:17

Hey Juan, sorry about BFN and AF x

Someone asked, someone else wise on here started using HT = Hopeful Twat Grin x

Juancornetto · 22/06/2017 21:22

Thanks Anne x Looking on the bright side at least my BFN puts me in good company Wink
Was it turquoise who coined the HT phrase? Love it! Grin

rachelandthenoodle · 22/06/2017 22:08

@Juancornetto I'm in a similar boat, I guess. I had my D&C in April and one af in may...so think this is my second...but then who knows! It started way earlier than expected, is nothing at all like any other af I've ever had in my life...and it's nearly four weeks and still going. 😕 🤷‍♀️

PossibiliTea · 22/06/2017 22:23

Juan you deserve a treat, go for it. I'm going to have a few with my friend for her birthday next week before getting myself baby ready!

Lime19 · 22/06/2017 23:30

I'm the month I conceived in my successful pregnancy, it was Xmas. I had been off alcohol for months. I though sod it, it's Xmas. I drank rather a lot... beer, festive gin, champagne and red wine if I recall! And of course that was the month I got lucky! So I'm a bit hmmm about giving up booze! Maybe letting my hair down and relaxing did it?! Maybe champagne is the key Grin

I just had my first personal training session. I really enjoyed it but I'm so very unfit! Good to focus on me and not the miscarriage for a bit. Felt like a positive step.

Also other news: downstairs has changed. I'm having, dare I say it, something like ewcm! But it's brown tinged with blood! What's that all about? It's stretchy like normal. I'm hoping this means bleeding is coming to an end soon.

Juancornetto · 23/06/2017 05:54

Oh rachel 4 weeks of bleeding is shit, I hope it clears up for you soon. My first AF post Mc was crazy heavy, this one's a bit early but seems more like the ones I'm used to.
I've never conceived by relaxing, only when I was obsessively tracking ovulation, taking a bunch of supplements and not drinking, really wish the getting pissed and having a spontaneous quickie plan worked for me!

Ekphrasis · 23/06/2017 07:15

lime that sounds like the end, mine was like that.

Flashinthepan · 23/06/2017 10:25

Morning all. So my spotting has started again at 2/3 dpo. Sorry for TMI but it's really CM mixed with blood rather than actually bleeding if that makes sense? My temp is still up, and increased a tiny bit more so I feel like it can't be a progesterone issue. It really is miserable though. I feel like I already know I'm out, and have to wait another 2 weeks before I can try again.

hometownunicorn · 23/06/2017 12:00

Hi all, I've been on holiday so just catching up while waiting for my very delayed flight. Looks like it's been a pretty up and down week for a few people.

Good to hear the bleeding is hopefully stopping lime.
Good luck dancing!
flash that sounds frustrating. Flowers

I was got by AF while away. Oddly I wasn't too fussed. The good news is that I'm back to my normal cycle length after 2 months of v short cycles and loads of pre AF spotting which was starting to worry me. I feel like maybe my body has properly recovered from the mc now. That helps a bit, feeling more hopeful about this month.

AnneLovesGilbert · 23/06/2017 12:13

You sound really positive unicorn, it's very reassuring feeling things settle down hormonally, really pleased for you. Hope you've had a wonderful relaxing break and your flight isn't delayed too long! x

Smurf123 · 23/06/2017 15:35

I feel like my hormones are up the left this month.. I'm now on 5th cycle after miscarriage in March..
Af has been pretty predictable at 26-27 days each cycle except last one when it arrived on day 21.. Unbelievably early... Skin has broken out in spots which is worse than it was ever was a teen and I'm just after crying at the animated smurfs movie... Had a gp appointment booked to talk about all this stuff that I have been certain for weeks was on Wednesday... I had a job interview Wed afternoon and knew I would then be rushing to get to gp on time... Turned up at gp 5 mins late for my supposed appointment to find the doors locked - of course they were locked because my gp surgery closes at 12 every Wednesday since the beginning of time and the appointment was actually on Tuesday!!!! Think I'm losing my head sometimes....

emvy · 23/06/2017 16:33

Hi to all newbies. I'm so sorry you find yourselves here. I hope the thread offers you some support (everyone here is simply wonderful) and you're not here for long (in the nicest way possible).

You guys have been chatty the past few days! I'm struggling to keep up with you all.

So sorry for your bfn Anne, I was certain this was your cycle Sad.

Conker, well done on the 8k; smashed it! Has your bleeding stopped now? Mine has completely gone so hoping to get back onto ttc this weekend. We dtd every other day all month (it's what's worked for us both times so I'm now determined that's the only reason I'm falling pregnant so quickly 😂) but fw apparently kicked off yesterday so can't be wasting anymore time! Hoping my cycle has returned to normal quickly again.

Ek, HT = Hopeful Twat. Someone (sorry can't remember who! Please feel free to hand raise) referred to themselves as acting like one and poas early and it caught on!

Sorry I can't offer any advice on temping x

emvy · 23/06/2017 16:35

Ok so I think since I read the thread this morning and kept the page open there's been another 2 pages of posts! 😂 Sorry if my message now seems random - I'll catch up with the rest!
