[katendmom]

As we agreed - starting a fresh thread before our original shuts down. Will post this new link into the old thread so everybody can find us!

In the meantime ~ sprinkling it with pink and blue baby pixie dust

and splashing with baby glue so lo's stick around forever ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi everyone, hope you dont mind me joining you. Ive been following this thread and cant beleive what a cheery lot you are considering your circumstances - youre an amazing lot.
Just wanted some advice - Rosybelle says that your 1st pregnancy is the one pregnancy that is least likely to fail.P LEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me this isnt always the case. I mc 5 weeks ago with my 1st. I also have endometriosis so concieving is also a problem. Please put my mind at ease!

hi all, just a quickie. lily, im sorry you are here.

ILTS, NO MORE TESTING!!!!!

I was told that 1st pregnancies are more likely to fail. The scan lady said they think 50 - 75% of first pregnancies end in mc.

07MTW - thats shocking no 12 week scan EPU told me to phone direct next pregnancy and come in for one at 7 week but like you I'm waiting until 8 weeks.

It really is a postcode lottery pisses me off (excuse language) in London I had a threatened mc with DD1 had a 9 and 10 week scan at the drop in EPU, 12 scan and nuchal fold, 20 week scan and they told you the sex, up here you get one scan at 16 weeks for dates I think won't tell you the sex, last time we payed for a private scan and will have to again

Lilypink and Mich - hello and sorry you had to join us but it's a great thread

ILTS - I can't keep up either your body is mad!

grinningbee - glad it went OK today it is so emotional but at least the line is drawn under that side of things

I'm a bit tonight I want to be pregnant again and it's taking longer than I thought OK it's only 2 cycles but argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Claire - youve made me feel better already

And hello btw Cheekster, sorry, didn;t mean to be rude!

Hello lissie and SK. That's amazing difference in scans SK, don't know how they can justify it

Me and my pimms are off to bed now, lovely to meet you all x

one good thing about all my probs, is that i now have an open ticket to EPU if i ever get pregnant again. it makes me so angry!

Just pleased youve put my mind at ease a little.
I also heard that after a mc or pg you are more fertile.I am desperately ttc and trying to look on the bright side. Do you reckon theres some truth in that?

absolutely cheekster.

Feeling better by the minute.
So other than lots of BDing any tips ttc?
You all seem like a very experienced lot!

Lily - have laid on a champagne breakfast for you.............VOILA!

I sometimes use a reverse psychology and celebrate instead of commiserate. Feels good at the time but perhaps not the morning after

Welcome Cheekster sorry you've had to seek us out but glad to see it's made you feel a little better.

Mich10 Are you still out there? How are you today?

Lilypink do you have a headache this morning?

SK Sorry you're I'm trying to avoid that emotion at the moment but I think if (being optimistic)AF arrives I'll be a wreck!

I must just say with regards to the lack of scans in this area that if everything is "normal" you have to wait 20 wks for your first scan but if there are any problems such as bleeding they will send you to the EPU for emergancy scan. Now, the devil (bad bad bad) side of my brain thought that perhaps I could just make up a few symptoms to get a scan but I just could not possibly lie about such a thing in case I tempted fate, hense my research into private scans.

Hello to everyone I've missed. Hope you are all ok today.

Morning All!

SK - How are you feeling this morning? I'm wondering if we should be feeling anything at all this early or do we just test and see on Halloween? It took us 4 months last time to get pg, and that's not too long. You will be there again. Me too! Don't give up!!

I've got sinus congestion every morning blech but that's about it. Maybe small waves of nausea but I think that's just my late night munchies it's the 2ww so of course every little sign I am jumping at. I'm not working at the moment so eating everything in sight.

Lily - glad you found us!

ILTS like Lizzie said no more testing!! Show a little bit of self control girl

Hello to Mich10 and Cheekster, I?m sorry to hear about your loss and the fact that you had to join us. I hope your stay is shortlived.

I'm not going to be around for a few days as I'll be in Glasgow with work. Really bad timing as I have real mixed emotions about it - 3 mths in and the job is not what I imagined, things have changed and now I will not be doing the big funding bid I was hired to do. The trip to Glasgow seems utterly pointless too. Feel very disappointed. Also today is a year since my mc and I'm not going to be with DH. And to top it all off my BF had her baby this morning. I am so pleased for her but at the same time I don't want his bday to be a reminder of my mc date. I was also feeling very selfish yesterday when I found out her contractions had started as I sobbed because it wasn?t me . This TTC thing really drives me insane, I?m feeling better about it today though; but it is a very physical reminder that we lost our LO a year ago and have had no success in conceiving yet. I'm really hopeful for this cycle though as I think we really gave it our best shot!

Gilly My heart goes out to you. What a lot of emotions you have to deal with all at the same time and being away from home without DH. I can understand a mix of feelings regarding your BF at such a sensitive time for you. I'm sorry to hear all this and hope you get through the next few days ok. Like you said it will be your turn soon.

hey gilly - look after yourself lady, is hard going when you get to anniversaries. Am thinking of you x

Hi Gilly, hope youre feeling the best that you possibly can.
My friend had her baby a week ago (which was the 4 week anniversary of my mc)
Naturally i was upset but i made myself go see them both and surprisingly i was ok. I thought that id cry my eyes out at this tiny baby in my arms but i looked at him and thought - no this is her baby not mine, - this isnt the baby i lost.
Dont get me wrong when i got home i was upset that it wasnt me in that situation but i was still so relieved that i had been able to get through that situation and think so logically in an emotional time - us women species are amazing you know!

gilly - sorry it's a horrid day for you today

mcchesers - so are you testing Halloween as well, a little pumpkin for us both. Took me 9 months ttc#1, 1 month ttc#2, 1 month ttc#3 and this is my second month since the mc, I'm so impatient though I want to be pregnant now.

07MTW - I know how you feel about lying but what about just saying you aren't too sure of your dates that your AFs have been all over the place, they will have to scan you for a due date then?

SK I might do that. It's just I'm a really bad liar .

Just had my lunch (houmous, toms, cucumber, carrot and yoghurt) and some of it tasted funny - it wasn't off as only bought this morning. I've read about metal mouth and it seems a little like that. I have absolutely no other symptoms.

Cheekster - didn't mean to scare you. Yes it is true that 1st one is least likely to fail but this is not all cases... we are all different and our bodies react to different circumstances. When I had my 1st mc I was told it was because something was wrong and this is natures way of preventing the worst... and this is the way I like to look at it.
My sil lost her 1st 2 pregnancies @ 12 wks and her 3rd was a textbook pregnancy and she now has gorgeous DD. It does not mean it wil not happen... just that the odds are higher to mc after the 1st pregnancy.

07MumsTheWord - Strangely I feel much better today . Working away from home in Manchester and last night the thought of it was enough to make me sob but today, all seems OK. Just having a quick spin through mn whilst eating my lunch, I fear I may be addicted.

Gillypumpkin - Glad to meet you but wish the circumstances were better. Hopefully we will both be out of here soon.

I hope everyone is having a good day.

Feeling quite low today. I hate this stage of the cycle. Roughly a week before I can test. No symptoms. Oh well

hey ladylush - I'm with you in hating this part of the cycle, when you testing I might test same day as you, my AF due Halloween.

Mich - MN is seriously addictive once it has you in it's hooks you can never ever leave x

Gonna test next tuesday if still no evil witch.
