TTC after MC April 07 - Return to the Mother Ship

[popsy76]

Hi Ladies, thought I would just grab the bull by the proverbial horns and get this going. Hope the name is okay. MrsMc I am afraid we will all be thinking of you and your DH (and his light saber) everytime we post

Too many individual posts to go back and answer so I thought I'd start with a positive message for all of us from the March thread and for any MC newbies...

Today is my 1 month MN anniversary and I do not know what I would have done without you all. It is the ability to get on here and "let it all out" that keeps me going. I have been blessed to have found you all and whatever lies in my future - your kindness and advice will stay with me forever.

Big Love and Hip hip hooray for a fabulous new positive thread POPSY xxxx

p.s. Gilly get your arse down to london - we can drink the bars dry of Rose (purely medicinal of course )

hi all! am back. what've i missed?

Hey Herby that is fabulous news about the Consultant I hope it is a supportive and pro-active one! I know just what you mean about fleeting happiness. I remember how long it was before I felt like that, it?s a good sign though hon! I?m good feel great actually, a bit sick some days, very tired but all good. Actually, I am not as preoccupied with this pg as the last, I think I am subconsciously trying to stay a bit detached to protect myself in case the unspeakable happens, I know that won?t work but sometimes I do actually forget I am pg!

Hey Popsy ? enjoy that break and I hope it helps how are the fish?!

Gilly Fabby! Congratulations!!! bet it happens now, just when you are busy with other things! I?ll be thinking of you on Sunday hon, do something reflective but positive

Though I hear you all about breaks and know that it helps some people, I just want to give the other side of the story! I have been a MN constant since end of June last year. I have never taken a break (other than when on hols) and have never needed one. Yes, I probably am addicted and do spend a lot of time on here but it has kept me sane through this process and will continue to be a lifeline for me. So if any of you are wondering whether you should take a break because others are, just do what feels right for you ? I know I need MN!

Welcome back Lissie how were the sand dunes?

i hated being away from mn this week. i really care about you all and have been wondering how you are.... mrs mcj, how are you feeling?

sand-dunes were great! think we might have done it this time. just a gut feeling but feel v positive

I?m good thanks Lissie ? nothing unusual happening that?s great that you feel positive, I know I did this cycle! Baby called Dune to be born late Jan/early Feb then? Fingers crossed!

according to my ov chart if i am pg dune would be due the 9/02/08. odd coz my nephews birthday is on the 7th and my neice (by the same sil and bil)s birthday is 3d after ds.

Have everything crossed for you lissielou x

thanks! but if i mention HPT's just shout "step away from the first response!"

Hi lissie- we will do our best to keep you away from the HPTs!! am so glad you have a positive feeling. Sounds like the fresh air worked- must get DH to take me to a sand dune!!

Hi MrsMc- thanks for your post-lovely as always. I am an MN addict too! I'm glad you are feeling calm and positive

Herby- glad to hear about the consulatent and fingers crossed you are on your way to being looked after and cared for properly.

Gilly- how exciting! and so glad your DH has agreed to keep trying, hopefully it will happen soon for you. Will be thinking of you on Sunday too.

Nothing much to report here. Am on CD4 so just regaining my energy for another bd-athon next week. We will be at my parents at the crucial time so I hope DH won't be put off!

and if it hasnt worked, i got to do it in a sand dune

though the thought of sand in knickers sounds painful!

we were careful!

hi ladies, im starting ttc after a mc a couple of weeks ago. my bleeding had stopped for 3/4 days but then came back today however i had my follow up can this am and she said all was fine and that by the look of m overies i am due to ov soon. the nurses opinion is that i ahve my period whilst the scan lady said its just the tail end. does nyone know if its possible to get pregnant if you ov whilst bleeding/on period? i didnt think it was possible!
lissielou - good luck for this month, ive been lurking since my mc waiting till i could join up and hopefully this may be the time (though a tad bit confusing)

Hi spugs, sorry to hear about your mc. Hope you fall pg again soon. I'm really not sure in answer to your question but if you feel up to ttc again, I guess just go for plenty of bd action over the next week or so and see what happens! best of luck.

i think thats the way forward and will just have to not get my hopes up, which unfortunatly is easier said then done. my doc has given me the go ahead to ttc as soon as i want and im feeling good (apart from a couple of blips in the past few days).

Hello evryone, just thought I would pop in and say hello, its a while since I posted here, but I see some friends I recognise........hello if if we have not "met" before.
Not much to report on my front, cd 10 so very'busy'at the moment..but today was a tough one as it is the day I should hve started mat leave. Amy.way,I am trying to be positive and think that it will happen any day now.

Hope you are all well x

hi kensgirl and spugs {{hug}} wish i could say it gets easier...

I feel crap today... had sister and her three children here this weekend (five, two and nine months old) which was lovely, they were a delight but I so want it too. Often spending time with kids makes me realise how lucky I am not to have any kids yet iysmim - it makes me realise what hard work it is. But this time it was great and I know I am going to love being a mum.

I feel low as well cos I am sure AF is coming. CD33 and getting cramps. i think AF is due Tuesday (don;t know my cycle at all but think I OVd two weeks ago on Tuesday)

Did test yesterday cos woke up feeling pregnant. BFN. But at least I could enjoy a few wines last night. I am drinking a lot at the moment (every day a few glasses) and I know it is not helping me conceive but it does make me feel better about not being PG. If AF comes I am going to promise myself not to drink so much next cycle.

I feel better already anyway, just for sharing my feelings with all you who I know will understand. thank goodness for MN

hi nh sorry that you are feeling a bit down today. are you a bit better now? {hugs} to cheer you up!

you know with the BFN, i always think it's not over until af arrives. you never know, sometimes your hcg might be a bit too low to be picked up yet....

it's nice that you are spending some time with your sis and the kids. i always find it helpful to have something to distract me otherwise i'll be obssessing about ttc all the time.

hope you'll have a better day tomorrow x

Well good morning girls, I've missed you !

I've cracked early and I'm back. Was hoping to be 8DPO today but the temp website I've been using (fertility friend) claims I'm only 5DPO which is annoying. I'm not quite sure what to believe to be honest as I haven't gone through a whole cycle temping so it might be inaccurate.

Anyway Imaginary symptoms - lots of cramy CM, crampy tummy and Definite Imaginary Nausea this morning. But as I had all of these last month after m/c, I'm trying not to get too excited. Ha Ha.

Big Hugs to everyone and the Newbies

nh don't give up! When I got pg with DS, I tested Fri and Sat -BFN. Went out in Edinburgh Sat nite and drank much red wine. Sun morning, BFP and hangover!

Torres ? there?s something a little bit naughty about getting to it in your folks house though isn?t there?

Spugs ? sorry about your loss you sound positive and eager to start again though bleeds can be odd after a MC. That?s good news about the scan ? go for it!! If you have less than 40-50mg/ml of HCG in your body, you can ovulate and I am sure it is perfectly possible to do so when bleeding, in fact some women OV so early each cycle that they miss the boat! Best of luck! One thing I found about recovering from a MC is that you think you are fine and then blips hit you every now and then, it?s the nature of the beast, be kind to yourself and be hopeful without expecting too much

Hey Kensgirl it has been a while! How are you? It will happen hon

NH101 ? sending a huge hug, sorry you feel crap at the mo. I?m with you on the sometimes feeling secretly pleased I don?t have kids yet ? it?s the lack of sleep that worries me the most! Hope AF stays away. I was drinking a lot before I got my BFP too, don?t be hard on yourself, you?ve been through a really tough time

My1stbaby hello.

Hello BasilBrush staying away is not always a good thing! Boozy night before you got your BFP ? I have done similar at least the red wine had some health benefit?.

just checking in to see how everyone is. have 6d til the end of my cycle now and things are looking good, but i refuse to test til sat!!

i dont think anyone understands the pain of a mc til they've been thru it, and i found that people expected me to get over it much quicker than i did

Every time Ive had a BFP its been when alcohol has been involved (twice as it was an accidental BFP) the one time we were trying the months i was good and didnt drink anything I got BFNs the month i thought sod it and had a few nights out i got a BFP. So my completly unsupported and against medical advice I hasten to add is that alcohol helps you get pregnant .
MrsMcJnr- I know what you mean about the blips had a biggy last night, 1st time out on town after mc and someone congratulated me on my pregnancy (bloody sister had been off telling people when she was supposed to keep stum) could only mutter I lost it and had to rush to bog so i could burst into tears. Felt very embarressed and had a bit of a crap night after that. feel fine today though and went for some bd action last night even though bloody preg tests are still giving me a v. faint positive. Its the onlt time since I was 17 that ive wanted a BFN so desperatly!

spugs saw a woman a few weeks back who id last seen in feb when we'd found out that my hcg levels had doubled just before we knew it was an ep, she looked at me and said "ooh, lucky you, not showing at all" felt like such a b*tch when i explained

Its not good is it, Im keeping stum in RL till im 12 weeks most people dont even know were trying. Only prob is im really rubbish at keeping secrets.
