Ok, girls, our last thread did get crazy long so I am starting this one. If you don't like the name - well... too bad You'll get used to it over time .

ILTC, hi there sista! I feel like we're SO alike. Can you believe that my bleeding started again today? I was quite . And out of all places it started in a zoo when we were watching little sheep at the "petting zoo" section with DS and DH. Grrreat!~ Hope you're feeling better and this mess if over soon for all of us .

Rosybelle, hi there~ [sends a wave] Com'on over - sorry you're here but it's easier to get through things together. If you read my previous posts you know what I have to say - ERPC (or D&C) all the way. Good luck!

Scully, hi... you sound like me... actually my DH who is very much doubting TCC'ing again. And that's just after one MC! Well... we did have a stillborn DD1 but went on to have a beautiful DS. What would have happened if we got scared back then and didn't do it. Ooops, promised not to talk about it until mid-Oct. That's when my MC blood/ tissue results are back from the lab to tell us what was wrong with the baby. We agreed we wouldn't make any decisions until we find out.

Cricri, I know you won't be chechking this thread until later but hope your weekend in Holland is fab!

Hugs and smooches to all!

KD73 I know what you mean - I guess the first few wks after mc are all a big guess work. My bleeding stopped after about a wk after D&C, a couple of days ago I had symptoms that I could swear were OV... and this morning I started bleeding again . It's not a lot and it's very dark but yuk! I guess I should have expected this on-again-off-again cycle. Girls have warned me!

NH I can totally understand about your DH's sister. When I got pg with my DS, a good friend of mine was going to IVI... with no luck. I waited until I couldn't hide my pg any longer (obviously it is different with family)... had to tell her. She was so thrilled for me which made it even more difficult for me. Life can be unfair but good luck to both you - hey, maybe your lo will be just months apart?!

I really hope so kateandmom! Me and SIL have had a strained relationship in the past cos we are both such strong characters but we have really bonded these last few months over our desperate but to conceive. I really hope she is not far behind me - I kind of hoped last night she would make up an excuse not to drink (then I would KNOW she was PG cos she likes a drink!) but no, she got through over a bottle of red! I 'pretended' to get pissed by drinking dealcoholised wine (which I bought two days before my MC and have had no reason to drink till now!). It was actually very nice.

ronshar · 23/09/2007 21:57

Oh my, oh my, oh my.

What the hell happened? I have a busy weekend with the dds and I come back to mn expecting the usual catch up on everyones weekends and what do I find! Lots of you have got pregnant!!!!!!!! I mean WTF.
And there was no live testing!

Yipeeeeeeeeeee.
I am so so so so so so happy for you all. Especially NH101. We are fellow March MCers.
I know how much this pregnancy means to you, I have cried with you, and now I am rejoicing(?spelling) with you. I am sending all my positive baby vibes to you and your ever so tiny little bean.

I am waiting. I have got until next Sunday! If all goes well can I join you girls on the June thread? I am not counting my chickens yet though.

sweetkitty · 23/09/2007 22:47

hi just popping in to say hello this evening how is everyone?

Rosybelle - been thinking of you, how are you doing today?

katendmom - it could be ovulation, I must have ovulated whilst I was still having the mc as I had a period less than 4 weeks from the start of the mc, it was a shock I can tell you, don't know how it goes with an ERPC though, everyone is so different aren't they?

KD - so happy AF turned up as I know hoe worried you were about it, CD1 you can start counting again. In some ways AF brings it all back but at least you know your bodies working again.

ronshar - fingers crossed for next Sunday for you x

iliketosleep · 24/09/2007 07:48

been quiet in here this weekend

Hope you are all fine

iliketosleep · 24/09/2007 08:02

can i just say something so pisspottical its stupid

when i was pg i had excrutiating back pain and i wouldwake up about 4 times a night.

Well before i went for "that scan" i slept all night and the backache disappeared.

Well the last 2 nights ive woken up about 4 times. I know its stupid to think it and as much as dp's sperm is indeed super i dont think its that good

nh101 · 24/09/2007 10:38

ILTS - you never know! When is AF due?

Ronshar, thanks so much, I really, really hope that you do graduate onto the June thread (and that we stay there this time!)

I have booked an early scan at the EPU - for three weeks today when I will be seven weeks PG exactly. Very exciting.

Saw the GP this morning, he had asked to see my after my gynae wrote to him to tell him he'd put me on Clomid. I was a bit scared - thought I was going to get told off! - but he was just confused cos the gynae asked the GP to cooperate in taking my bloods, but I had them done at the private hospital anyway and I told him I was PG and he was delighted so all is well!

iliketosleep · 24/09/2007 10:43

i havent a clue, i m/c 2weeks ago tomorrow and i dont keep track of AF anyway im lazy

goingfor3 · 24/09/2007 10:45

iliketosleep you might be ovulating. I had really bad ovulation pains after my mc.

iliketosleep · 24/09/2007 10:47

oh, no pain, did have a few days after the m/c a sharp stbby type pain in my right hand side, I forgot to mention i do not have backache at the moment

well we have bd'd twice, i dont know wether to leave it about 3 weeks and try testing or just wait and wait and wait and keep bd'ing. I dunno lol

EllieG · 24/09/2007 10:48

I am feeling very positive this morning. There has been lots of lovely news on this thread recently for people I am particualarly attached to and think this could signal the start of good things to come.
ILTS - keeping fingers crossed for the super-sperms!
ronshar - here's hope ing for the june thread for you lady xxx

EllieG · 24/09/2007 10:48

Sorry x-posts there ILTS x

iliketosleep · 24/09/2007 11:09

If his supersperm really have done the trick i will treat dp to a lovely knitted bollock warmer

EllieG · 24/09/2007 11:37

I thought they were supposed to be kept cold? Maybe you should knit some special underpants with holes in them.

wheelybug · 24/09/2007 11:45

Will ask my Mum if she can check her knitting patterns for that ILTS !

HOw's everyone this morning ? I have had a lovely morning - needed to go and buy some paint for our kitchen and had to go to Wimbledon Village (rather nice for those who don't know it - v. boutiquey) so I decided to make the most of it as dd is at nursery. Had a browse round the shops, bought a few bits, had a coffee reading the paper and got the paint. It made me think I could get used to this ....

Which I may as well... managed to - ahem - do the deed over the weekend but got a smiley face (on OPK) this morning and DH is probably in for an all nighter at work AAARRRRGHHHHHHHHHH.... I told DH that would happen.

Right, need to go and pick the monkey up from nursery... spoil my peace and quiet

ronshar · 24/09/2007 12:18

knitting special underpants, excellent. Maybe they could become lucky pants!

Thank you Ellie and NH101. I am so happy for both of you.
It has a edge of sadness for me as I feel like I am being left behind with my misery!.
I do not feel anywhere near as resentful as I was of all the BFPs of a few months ago. It was beginning to make me feel even more of a failure than I already felt.
Lukckily I am not so horrible now and feel only good things for every pregnant girl out there.
It has only taken me 6 months!!!!!
Maybe it will take me a further 6 months to get myself pregnant by then I will be positively zen like. I can only hope.

iliketosleep · 24/09/2007 12:33

lmao at images of dp in wolly pants with his dangling bits swinging low

just as well i cant knit

splishsplosh · 24/09/2007 12:51

Hello, can I join you?

I'm in the middle of mc, and I also like cakes.

I'm feeling sad, and my dp is doing his best now, but is a bit baffled by how upset I am, so I thought that the lovely MNers will probably help me feel better.

iliketosleep · 24/09/2007 12:54

hi splishsplosh ive just read your post on my m/c thread, im so sorry, but its good that its half way over. Not good but....you know what i mean.....

Whys it always so bloody hard to find the words to say

Well this is a mad house, we dont often have cake but them lot are always pissed and i am apparently obsessed with bollocks and wolly pants

iliketosleep · 24/09/2007 12:54

wooly? how do you spell woolleeyy???

DUSTIN · 24/09/2007 13:52

Can I join in ladies? I am in the middle of having my third miscarriage. I have been looking on these threads to see how other people cope. I am still at the stage where I get upset at every pregnant woman I see.

sweetkitty · 24/09/2007 14:03

welcome spilshsplosh sorry you had to find us but you have found a brilliant group of people, we cry, laugh and eat virtual cakes together.

How are you feeling? Please feel free to be as graphic as you want to be or if you don't want to be IYKWIM some people like to talk about it (me) others don't. You are going through the worst of it right now but you will come out the other side.

ILTS - pmsl at your knitting patterns

wheelybug - at your morning I had my friend over with the newborn and toddler, there were fights galore with my two and I just sat and cuddled the newborn, they are v cute at that age you forget the sleepless nights oh and he puked all over me.

ronshar - I think it's only natural to be and when you see pregnant women we were out shopping yesterday and there seemed to be loads of pregnant women I asked DP about it and he said there wasn't and I'm ultra sensitive. He also said "SK you are pushing a buggy and you have a toddler, it's not like your childless" men!!!!

nh101 - roll on 7 weeks til your scan

ellie - glad you are feeling a bit more positive too

sweetkitty · 24/09/2007 14:04

welcome Dustin glad you found us and sorry you are having your third miscarriage

cricri · 24/09/2007 14:09

Splishsplosh and Dustin - sorry to hear about what you're going through (just been reading your posts on the other thread Splishsplosh) but as Sweetkitty says, you've come to the right place. I've drawn much comfort from the people on here since I found out two weeks ago (is it really only 2 weeks? It seems like an age ago...) that I'd had a mmc.
Mc is a terrible thing to have to go through but the people here will help you get through it I'm sure. We're here anytime you need to talk, rant, cry... Whatever!
Thinking of you xx

EllieG · 24/09/2007 14:12

hey splishspolsh and dustin - sorry you have to be here, but is a good place to be for wound-licking and general support post mc. Plus cake is a very bonding thing.
Have just had a lemon and white chocolate muffin.
