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 )

oh winky, i am so so sorry. Are you on your own? is there anyone that can come and give you some TLC. I want to give you a big hug.

Winky am so sorry hon xxxx Get yourself some medical attention if you can and defo someone to give you a hug

I find keeping eyes fixed down and ahead and blustering through the best way. Rain tends to keep them out of sight too!

not sad- I think thats a good idea to get a good GP- where will your new one be? I think my surgery is too far from highbury fields to cover you. There's a good choice of hosptials for maternity care too. I got to pick from 4.

Im at work. Pointless going home and wallowing in self pity. Plus I have some good mates here who have made me a cup of tea.

At least it was early on in the pregnancy. I guess most people wouldn't have even realised they were pg. But I know I was.

Right so its CD1 here then and back on the wagon.

Please don't push yourself - when you go home make sure your DP is there to give you lots of hugs oh I am so sorry

winky- glad you around some nice folk. Early or not, you still have the right to grieve so don't be too hard with yourself xxx

oh sweetheart! You poor thing. Glad you've got good people around you, and of course we're all here for you!!!!! HAve you told dh yet?

((hugs))

Agree with what torres said - you are still entitled to greive however early the PG was. Was still something you wanted very much and you are bound to need some time and space to get through this

Hi winky just adding my virtual hugs to all of those given by the mothership ladies. God life just sucks doesn't it - you'd think someone out there would be trying to make sure that we all had a good thing happen at last? Hope you are okay - I know I'm the resident alchy here but I reckon a huge bar of dairy milk and a bottle of rose will help (just warn DH about the alcohol induced hysteria that is bound to follow).
I'm looking forward to gilly coming to the smoke - lets do lunch at that lush cakes place torres oh god have forgotten the name - will be really weird meeting you face to face - I already have virtual pictures of you in my head. I do infact just look MAAS all of the time so you are sure to reconise me - a short, cuddly (BMI officially overweight as I just found out while planning a lesson grrr) sweating woman will rush in, knock everything off the counter with her massive impractical bag and then burst into hormonal tears - betcha can't wait to meet me

p.s. we can always go and giggle at pearly thongs - haven't got the courage to wear mine yet - may just frame them as a tribute to my post MC shopping compulsion madness

ooh if we're talking meet ups - if you do it on a wednesday (specific, me? nah!)I could come!! Weds is my work eve so dh colects dd from school so i have all day to be freeeeeeee.

Cool - well we've got 7 weeks til Gilly gets her geordie arse down here so i say race is on to get ourselves knocked up by then . Is that August???

sorry

great idea to meet up! Ottolenghi is that gorgeous deli/cake shop. I love your description popsy! I am tall, accident prone and generally away with the fairies. You will know its me as I will undoubtedly walk into the door and then blush as I am unable to open it without assistance! pathetic!

Good idea to go and giggle in the knicker shop. Love your idea of framing the pearly thong- you can embarrass your kids with it in years to come! or sell it on ebay as 'vintage' for vast profits.

gilly- you have to do the accent so we can recognise you!

alittlebit- how will we recognise you?

Gilly IKWYM
I am also trying not to plan ahead - am starting to realise there is no need to as either you have a baby and it fits in or you don't and you have to get back to normal life

Torres I am sure to get the pants out at our BBQ this weekend - will have too much wine and think is a "good" idea ha ha
Last one we had I started showing everyone the La perla bra my sister had bought me THE SHAME - ha ha I am actualkly still blushing as I type this!

Winky,
I'm really sorry - early or not it is still horrible. Be kind to yourself over the next few days. Adding my hugs to the collection

BTW my tests are just basic bloods - an MOT of sorts I suppose (oestrodiol, progesterone, liver function, thyroid, blood glucose, full blood count to make sure anaemia isn't the cause etc etc). Enough variables to make me feel it will unearth something awful....in my current state of miserable hypochondria

how will you recognise me? hmm - well, I'm short with messy shotish hair and glasses and i'll be the one looking like i'm about to run away in fear!!

Sounds good!! If in August /other summer hols day I'll see if i can con dh into having some quality time with dd so i can come solo!

I'm at work this eve which is a good distraction cos I am testing tomorrow. Will undoutably be neg and a long cycle. grr.

Can i just lay out my history so i an have your wise opinions before i go mad?

Came off depo oct 06
started ttc nov 06
bfp march06 - m/c
m/c was 24/3......
25 days later i had a light bleed
21 days after that i had a proper af (may8)
I'm going on may 8 as my cd1 and the two before as being short things due to m/c. am i right or should i be discounting the light bleed and calling from m/c til may 8 a mammoth cycle? The one friend i'm texting about this thinks they are separate cycles but i'm inclined to pessimism.

help!!

or to go by your name iwillbepositive it may unearth NOTHING!!!!!

Hi littlebit I am also prone to long cycles after MC - think you should just ignore them completely and just go for it every 2-3 days - you'll soon know if you are PG or not without testing - I think testing is the mother of all evils (says she sneaking out to get one tonight as is feeling sicky again today )
