ttc after mc July/August 2007 - shiny new thread as the other was full

Hi,

I hope nobody minds me adding a new thread, but the other wouldn't let me reply.

LadyLush - Sorry to hear about your loss . In answer to your question, I thought I was around 11-12 weeks pg, but the scan said the baby was around 8-9 weeks. When I'd had the ERPC, the gynae reg said the uterus was around 14weeks and the baby was still 8-9 weeks.
I'm sure things do get better with time, but things are still pretty raw and new for me. I'm glad things are getting back to normal for you (and hopefully for others too).

Torres - that is fantastic news! Congratulations! I hope you can find it in you not to let guilt or worry completely overshadow what should be a happy time. Fingers and toes crossed for you.

Thank you (&WMMC) for the thoughts on post-mc testing. If anyone else has any advice, look forward to reading it.

TJuice · 05/09/2007 15:47

yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Torres, that is wonderful. Has made my day

goingfor3 · 05/09/2007 16:22

Congratulations torres!!!!!

lissielou · 05/09/2007 16:28

torres, thats great news, so pleased for you!

MrsMcJnr · 05/09/2007 16:35

Hey ladies just popping in to say hello and how pleased I am for Torres - let's hope this starts a string of BFPs from here. Think about you all often though I don't post much.

Don't want to seem to be gloating but thought those of you who know me would like to know that I am now 21 weeks and we had our scan yesterday and it was fine such a relief - hopefully I can start to relax now. Have put some pics of Beanie on my profile - (s)he's the one I rub for luck for you all

xx

lissielou · 05/09/2007 16:39

wow mrs mcj, thats flown by! i'm so genuinely pleased for you. give him/her a rub for me x

torres · 05/09/2007 16:39

Thanks everyone for such a lovely response and for your excitement. I still can't quite believe it. I wish I could be knocked out for the next few weeks as I can feel my worry levels rising already.

I've been on this thread for a while and feel like I've really got to know quite a few of you. I am thinking of you all and wishing my hardest that you all get the BFPs you truly deserve

sweetkitty · 05/09/2007 16:41

congratulations torres here's to a good pregnancy

MrsMcJnr - great news abou thet scan too

becklespeckle · 05/09/2007 17:05

Just poking my head in to say congrats Torres!

torres · 05/09/2007 17:09

thank you sweet kitty and beckle

beckle- I haven't chatted to you in ages! I still remember limping onto this thread in March and you and Wheely really picked me up.
How are you hon?

flosspot · 05/09/2007 17:10

Hello MrsMcJ- looked at the pics- s/he looks lovely.

And congratulations to Torres- it really is the best news I've had all day....keep us posted. We'll miss you, but delighted you are moving on.

flosspot · 05/09/2007 17:14

I am having a really tough day. The buyers pulled out on our house this morning, and yet another person we know has just announced they are pregnant. I am truly crushed. I know they don't do it to hurt me, and everyone is very aware of our situation and has been as diplomatic about telling me as they can, but I just hurt so much. I don't want to burst anyone's pregnancy bubble, but I literally am now bursting into tears at the sight of a bump or a pushchair. I have to go to a wedding on Saturday where both of our newly pregnant friends will be getting congratulated left right and centre, and deservedly so, and I have no idea how I am going to get through it.

It didn't really help that my GP won't refer me to a new gynae team. Or that my husband's way of breaking the news to me was "Guess who's pregnant?" I don't want to f@cking guess.

Sorry- I sound like such a miserable cow. And after Torres great news...

Lcy · 05/09/2007 18:11

Congratulation Torres - such fantastic news xx

Sorry you are having a tough day Flossie xx

becklespeckle · 05/09/2007 18:12

Thanks Torres, this thread was my lifesaver when I joined it in February and I give the ladies on here full credit for helping me get my head straight after last year. I do believe still that settling my mind was what settled my cycle and allowed me to conceive again.
Am so pleased for you hun!
Am doing well at the moment (touch wood) and will be 24 weeks tomorrow! Have you come over to the pg after m/c thread yet? Lovely ladies there got me through the first 14 weeks with relative sanity!
To all of you still here I hope you can all move over soon too - for some of us it is a long, sad and frustrating road but with hindsight I believe our bodies know better than our heads when we are ready. Looking back I honestly could not have coped if I had fallen pg sooner than I did even though at the time it was all I wanted.

Lcy · 05/09/2007 18:12

Whoops i meant Flospot

FlossieF · 05/09/2007 18:22

Bummer of a day, Flosspot. I think you are perfectly entitled to feel miserable. The wedding will be incredibly tough, and as I'm new to this, I don't know what to advise to help. Drink lots maybe?

Life sucks sometimes.

EllieG · 05/09/2007 18:30

YEY YEY YEY TORRES! SO PLEASED FOR YOU! That is sooooo good I am doing a little chair dance, am that excited! I love it when people I (fake) know from MC and ttc threads get the BFP - is fab news lady x Have all fingers and toes crossed x

goingfor3 · 05/09/2007 19:02

I am happy for people on this thread getting a bfp but feel really down after reading about MrsMcJnr's scan as we were due around the same time, makes me really realise what I'm missing. Sorry to bring the thread down but I hope it's okay to be honest on here.

winemakesmummyclever · 05/09/2007 19:07

Flosspot - get out the wine / beer / chocolate / kleenex - you have truly had an awful day. You are going through a bad enough time as it is without all this extra stress being heaped onto you. Oh, and poke your dh in the eye for breaking that news so insensitively . Hope that tomorrow brings a better day for you.

Torres - am so so so pleased for you and your dp (what a very perceptive guy he is!). I hope that you are now resting up and being thoroughly pampered by him - as we all should be .

Have spent this afternoon trying to decide whether to go back to uni this year or next year and do some OU stuff in the meantime. Will ring MMU in the morning as they might have a clearing place on the course I fancy. Have only been off work for a couple of months and feel the need to use my brain a bit more.

Off to bath ds and try to have an adult conversation with dh re uni. Have a good night folks .

Ofcourse it is Goingfor3 - it is a life of mixed emotions for us all at the moment

WMMC - what are you going to study?

kensgirl · 05/09/2007 19:27

FABULOUS and WONDERFUL !!

I'm so thrilled for you Torres, you deserve this so much! I am so happy for you I have got tears in my eyes. You will stay around to check on us sometimes, won't you?

Hello to Mrsmc and Beckle too - its lovely to hear from you both, and see you dong so well. I can't believe how far you both are already, time flies. Keep popping in, won't you ?

winemakesmummyclever · 05/09/2007 19:41

Lcy - hi, how are you? I'd like to study an information management type course with a view to working in a library/archives or something similar.
I've been a nurse for 10 years and finally had enough of the NHS. I got sick of being abused by both patients (many of whom couldn't help it) and by management (who bloody well know what they're doing), so I quit. I'm lucky that dh was able to up his working hours and is happy to let me do what I want (well, within reason ).
I'll have to see what MMU/ OU have to say tomorrow .

Lcy · 05/09/2007 19:49

Good luck with that WMMC - i also work for the NHS and most of the time it sucks (generally not the patients but the managers!). DH is away so enjoying a nice glass of red wine and watching trashy tv x

Hi Jules - sorry to hear you are still feeling so low - it is totally understandable after losing three babies. I am glad your DH is looking after you and that people at work are thinking of you.

I am also nursing a large glass of wine. I have just worked out that i am ovulating at the momement - it feels strange to think i could get pregnant again only 2 weeks after losing my first. My body is recovering but my head is taking a while to catch up.

Anyway i am thinking of you xxx
