Lcy I had a d&c last month at 12 weeks gestation (I don't know if the duration of bleeding is related to the age of the pregnancy). I had some red blood for a few days then a big black bleed (jelly like clots etc two days 10 days after the op), then about a week of light spotting brown in colour. Sorry if tmi for everyone else. It wasn't very nice bleeding for 3 weeks but at least I got my cycle back on track soon as period came 4.5 weeks after the op.

ladylush · 26/08/2007 14:43

sorry that two days bit is a typo (the big loss was 10 days after the op).

Lcy · 26/08/2007 18:20

Hello to everyone - hope your enjoying your bank holiday. Me and DH are off for a night away in a posh hotel tommorow - cant wait

Thanks Ladyluch - ok brown bleeding sounds normal after a D&C. It has been really upsetting me and stressing me out because i got brown discharge alot during my pregnancy and it was ultimately the sign of my missed miscarriage. I think it just brings back bad memories.

sweetkitty · 26/08/2007 21:25

Lcy - sorry to hear about the bleeding mine was a natural miscarriage so I had loads of bleeding people say "oh it's like a heavy period" but it's so not, I wasn't prepared for the raw emotions of it all when it was coming away I was felt this is it this was my baby this should have been one like the other two running around.

Anyway enjoy your night in the posh hotel you lucky thing, in Scotland different areas have different public holidays, it's a bit of a nightmare the schools and DDs nursery are on but DP's work follows English standard bank hols so he's off work but he is studying for an interview tomorrow, DD1 was nursery until 11.30am and DD2 has a pneumococcal immunisation so a bit manic as usual.

Shreksmissus, glad you are feeling more positive - that's great.

My AF turned up last night, 5 days later than I'd expected but at least it's here now and once it's finished we can start trying again. Got to decide whether to get an ovulation kit or not. It really annoys me that I didn't even think my cycle might be a bit longer - could have planned more strategically last month!!

Next month I'm going to try not to do a pg test until 5 weeks since the start of this AF. Not sure I can manage that though!

Lcy, have a fab night away! Sounds lovely.

xx

ladylush · 27/08/2007 19:55

Lcy enjoy your night. Once your bleeding stops you will feel so much better I think - I did anyway.

3rd day running of postive opks - at least they work. So I am on CD16. I didn't go for it much this month as I was bloody knackered but if I grab dh tonight it will be two out of the four days. Not that bothered this month - seeing it as practice tbh

kensgirl · 27/08/2007 20:16

Hello, Ladies

Just back off my holdays now, and I have to say I feel tons better! Cd 6 though, as evil af put an appearance in at the airport on the way home .

Hello to all the new faces here, hope you are finnding some support and comfort here.

Hi ladylush! I didn't realise you were Plummy , how are you?

Congratulations ellie g!! I'm thriled for you!! Another example of hope after mc........

Good news about your appointment Torres! At least everything is sounding more positive, and hopefully the hsg will put your mind at rest even more!

Popsy - have you had your scan yet? Hope you are ok!!

Ronshar, I have short cycles too, 24 days last month. Can that be a sign of not ovulating ? I didn't know........

Everyone else, I hope you are all fine an dandy, especially the oldies like me..... Popsy, ladylush, wheely, Torres etc xxxxx

EllieG · 27/08/2007 20:57

ladylush - good news about the OVing don't worry too much about not going for it, it only takes the once you never know.

I have a foul stinking cold so am feeling sorry for myself tonight think I'll go off to bed early.

kensgirl · 27/08/2007 21:20

Thanks for the 'welcome back',Ellie and sweetkitty

alittlebitshy · 27/08/2007 22:05

nag nag ang...who is coming on fri?
terrified noone will turn up and i'll wander round asking random women if they've returned to the mothership... or something like that

TJuice · 27/08/2007 22:40

hi, mind if i bump in.
i am another m/c from the March 2008 thread, had a d/c on 17th august at 9 1/2 weeks.

don't know if i am ttc or not . . . one minute i really want to, the next i think i need a bit of time . . .
i guess i am otc (open to conceiving) rather than plotting my cycle etc, but i may be in denial right now . . .

anyway, nice to meet you

sweetkitty · 28/08/2007 07:56

welcome TJuice sorry you had to join us theres quite a few of us mc from the Due in March thread (I can't remember any from my other two antenatal threads) does anyone else feel a twinge of sadness everytime they see the Due in March 2008 thread in active convos, I do I want to be on that thread still! Anyway whats done is done.

Don't think I'll be doing much ttc this week, I've got a stinking cold (DP said it was like being in bed with Darth Vader last night) and he has 2 work interviews today and tomorrow so has been studying for them (they are promotions rather than proper job interviews) one is in London tomorrow (we're in Scotland) and then he's off on a training course Thursday and Friday then he's got a marathon on Sunday!

Anyway hope you all have a good day x

nh101 · 28/08/2007 10:59

Sorry not checked in for a while - mad busy at work till next week. Hi to all newbies - sorry you have had to join us. It is a shit, tough, horrid, painful time, but hang in there and take care of yourselves.

I finally started my period yesterday (almost 12 weeks since last one!) after a course of progesterone so now I am on CD2 and took my first Clomid this morning.

I am shitting myself!

It has been just over five months since my miscarriage and I am just beginning to feel "over" it and now I might be putting myself back on that roller coaster again.

I am temping to see if I can pinpoint ovulation. And am a bit scared cos I am not going to be monitored so fear ending up PG with six.

I am mad busy at work so may not be able to check in very often but will keep you posted with any news. Good luck to everyone else.

How are you Ellie?

Hope you're OK Popsy!

Lcy · 28/08/2007 12:15

Hi all - had a lovely night away. It was so nice to go for a nice meal eat steak, drink wine and forget about pregnancy and miscarriage for a bit. Also came home to lots of cards from family and friends sending their condolences (sp?) about miscarriage - which was nice.

Sweetkitty - it makes me really sad that I am not on the March 2008 thread. Who knows we might be on another one together soon - i dont think i will join until 12 weeks though.

Hi TJuice - glad you came over to this thread. Hope you are ok.

kensgirl · 28/08/2007 12:37

Hello tjuice. Sorry to see you need to be here, I hoe it help gve you some support and comfort. xx

Good morning everyone else ! Last week of my holidays this week, and we are starting the productive part of the cycle as I am cd7 today! not very hopefulthis month though as dh is away on yet another stag do from Thursday lunchtime till Saturday evening, just when I think I ov...

herbaceous · 28/08/2007 14:22

I want to come to cake fest, but have to be at that pesky thing called work! If you're all still there - vastly bloated by cake ingestion - at about 7, I'll help you finish off the remaining mereingues...

Lcy · 28/08/2007 14:26

No cakefest for me - im in Wales

SweetKitty - no unfortunately bleeding hasnt stopped - it stops then starts stops then starts. Shame for DH - i think he though he was going to get lucky . I keep reminding myself it is only 1st week after D&C.

EllieG · 28/08/2007 14:45

Hey nh - glad to hear that things are moving at last, and that you are not just waiting on AF. I am fine thanks - very panicy/tired/emotional but so far no reason to worry, though as I had no reason to last time I can't relax. But am trying my best.
Where is Popsy these days? She was a founder member of the cakefest, so she should be going?

hey all, a really good friend has just emailed me to say she is 14 weeks pg and isn't it fantastic, and it is but I feel so . And doesn't that make me the smallest person in the world?

Just feeling a bit pants today. Loads of people seem to be getting pg that I know and want me to be thrilled for them but I'm finding it hard to be that generous. And then I'm finding it hard to accept that I am that self-absorbed a person.
