ttc after MC July 2007 - anybody out there?

[popsy76]

Hi ladies, our old thread is full and now I can't find anyone
I have posted here and on bereavement thread with same title - come join me if you find this

PSML at the german instructions! I can't make the Aug cake fest but will go to the October one as mil will be back from her hols and able to look after ds. Alternatively, if it's on mon-weds I don't need a babysitter as he goes to nursery (just need to book the day off work).

I've been reading the Lesley Regan book. It's quite good because she genuinely seems to care. The problem I have is that I don't seem to fit her statistics in that I am not sub-fertile. I conceive easily and I have had a child who was carried to term and weighed in at a healthy weight. According to her book I am apparently the 1% of women who have recurrent miscarriage without associated fertility problems. Great

hmmmm
to be honest ladylush i think there are probably many more in your boat - from what I have learnt in my 8 month PG and MC history there are no rules and even the really brainy doctors know very little or can do very little (due to money too). I should be suitable digested for a second run at the cake fest for october we'll have our own little OktoberFest ha ha - I can get my hen do dirndl out...on second thoughts

Ellie DO NOT TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you are either PG or you are not and no amount of spending money on tests will change that - i know is IMPOSSIBLE but you can do it... jyst a few more days

Yes Popsy I think you're right. I don't think the data available is very accurate.

Thank you Popsy I am sitting on my hands (which is making it difficult to type at times) and will not. I promise. Have learned my lesson early testing is horrid and makes you feel like poo.

Incidentally - ha ha I think I'm the youngest only 29 I might take the afternoon off and go out clubbin' as befits my young person status.

Oh you are a baby at 29, you'll have to look after us as we hobble along Upper Street. Very jealous of you living in Jersey by the way. I went there a few years ago and stayed at the Hotel De France in St Helier. Oh it was lovely. Was looking into rates on t'internet but too pricey at the mo. Maybe off season there will be some good deals.

Hotel de France is pricey, it's gone very posh these days.

We should have a cake-fest in Jersey! I am so jealous I can't come to London one (am in north-west), maybe one day...

Popsy, I am going to the doc again on Monday about my period, I had blood tests last week and they all came back normal. I think my health insurance will cover investigations so I am definitely going to find out what is wrong, and if nothing is wrong then go on Clomid!

whereabouts north-west? My friend has just moved to Northumbria - is that east or west? Sorry my geography is shocking

hey nh well i am up there with work every now and agin so maybe we can meet in the 'Pool whenever i get my ass up there!
p.s. just cry and go clomid- is only way!

p.s. Ellie - are you getting married near your 30th? I did - bloody hell was a lot to handle (i.e. total age melt down) and no big party

news just in..... hormones normal yipeee
though I knew that anyway - am going to be super relaxed now and hope that nature takes its course!

Great news popsy
nh - had a peep at your profile and saw you live in merseyside. Nowhere near my mate then

Ellie- stay away from the tests!!!

AF arrived with a vengence today and I have a shocking hangover (off 2 small glassses of wine ). All this talk is making me hungry for cake! The hangover must be due to age- I've just turned 34.. so Ellie you get to help us to our seats at the october-fest!

glad to hear your results are normal popsy, nothing MAAS about your hormones then!

Northumbria is north-east ladylush !!

Good news on hormones, Popsy. I work in Preston so if you are ever in town I'd love to meet up!

Hello girls.

Long time no, er, chat?

My, what a lot of new gals we have. Hope the old timers are managing to cheer you up, and provide a bit of light at the end of the tunnel.

BUT - what are you doing, eating cakes during a working day? I can't come! Bah. I shall eat one in spirit, though.

No sign of ever getting pregnant again - not even getting EWCM any more, but at least cycle has settled down to a rather short 26 days.

Have bitten the bullet and started looking into adoption. The bureaucracy involved gives the NHS a run for its money. What larks that will be...

Hi herby, was wondering how you were doing.

Can you make the cake-fest after work? It sounds like it will be a long leisurely affair and I doubt I will get there until 4.30 unless I can invent an urgent errand...

Good luck with the adoption process, I can't begin to imagine what hoops they make you jump through which seems so daft as so many kids need homes.

Hi herby lovely to hear from you - did making a decision about adoption lift a bit of the weight off your shoulders - at least it is something you CAN control rather than this pesky womb malarky??
We will still be at the cakeathon when you finish work so NO EXCUSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oooh nh sounds promising... though have a feeling you and I would be a deadly combination when it comes to a cold crisp bottle of vino??

Hey Torres hope you are using the opportunity to eat stacks of chocolate and be generally unreasonable and weepy?
Looks like hormones are being pretty normal which as you say is strange for a MAAS womb-watcher like me

making myself laugh while typing - have officially gone mad - and have been on here all day .... what did i say about MN luring you in arghhhhhh am obsessed with talking about mucous (spelling?) and tingly boobs

oh popsy- I am being so unreasonable and weepy, DH even got the 'I'm never drinking again' wail last night when i fell into bed sobbing, feeling sorry for myself .

Meant to be going to yoga tonight to chill out but am not sure if doing balances is going to be possible. Still, the teacher gave out chocolate cake at the ned last week so maybe I should go!

popsy- so share your obsession!! went for a facial yesterday and the woman asked me how I was. I immediately replied without thinking and told her that my period had arrived!!!

PMSL Torres!

Yes, we would be a deadly combo Popsy - I even have a nice bottle of Pinto in the car for later (I'm not drinking it in the car tho! )

What qualifies as an old-timer on here?

Doh! I mean Pinot

And hello Herby - nice to hear from you again. You sound like you are staying positive. Good for you. I am sure you will have a LO before you know it. Keep us informed!

i thought it was a new cocktail of vimto and pinot (yes you are right drinking WHILE driving might well help you relax amongst all those bad boy racers but probably isn't a good idea to get chucked in the clink right now - all that wasted sperm

Torres i too have got MC tourettes - I had to stop myself from telling my 17 year old work experience student today ... damaging young minds oops

'Lo all- can't be arsed to read all entries- you've been talking far too much today. i just popped into London for a few hours and everything has moved on....

It occurred to me we need some way of recognising each other at Cake fest.....bowler hats, or carnations in lapels. Thoughts?!!!

thermometers in mouths and a crazed look in the eye should do it....
