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 ladies

i went for my blood test this morning but don't get the results for 3 days, so the agony of not knowing what's up goes on . . .
but aside from some griping (which is hope is my bladder getting better) i can only report that i feel really nauseous and i hope that is lovely morning sickness.

i just made a lovely chunky soup of leek and potato with cheddar cheese and harissa sauce and i just feel like barfing . . .

gilly - i downloaded the fertility mp3 from www.nlpmp3.com/pages-main/category-21/increased-fertility.html and listened to it a few times. funnily enough i was thinking about it today because i had my ipod playing on speaker at work, and i thought how hilarious it would be if it was on shuffle and that come on to a room full of male art directors and copywriters!

katend - glad the little one's ear is better. i am on the fence with the glass of wine a night because i read something and posted earlier on this or the other thread about how this increases your fertility (but prolly because it puts you more in the mood or something) - remember that link?

well - i am on the mumsnet group and have added a couple of those i recognise. its kind of embarrassing though . . .

i can't find you in the group T-juice... (i'm not in there which doesn't help does it)

in a very cross mood with my body today
cd2, so accepted that this is not the month, but just so frustrated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not much else to say except i want to SCREAM

its t-r-u-d-y

aargh - i'm outed in cyberspace

don't be frustrated alittlebit. i know, its horrible, it really is. i really hope you get the jackpot this month.

scream, relax, download the fertility thing and shag every other day. my theory is that the better the sex, the more likely you are to conceive (that sounds like bollox really)and the more you have, the better it is (even more like bollox).
however, i did read somewhere that the orgasms do help . . .anyone hear that before?

sorry you're feeling glum ALBS ...

Pleased to hear you're feeling sick Tjuice

Right just had a scroll through the MN group on Facebook - found lissie - was just about to add you as a friend when I ended up doing something wrong and coming out of it so... I will try and do it later.. need to put dd to bed. If anyone else is in Lissie's friends and can give me a clue I can add you too !

I was debating whether to come and post this as I haven't posted for so long I think my last post was on the old thread, but I have a BFP too!

m/c at 9 weeks at end of August, so this was our first full cycle of trying. I'm half over the moon and half completely paranoid about m/c ing again.

Anyway, the very very best of luck to those of you TTC, and huge hugs to those of you who are currently suffering

ILTS - fantastic news! CONGRATULATIONS!

Just wanted to add my huge congratulations to ILTS - so hope it all works out.
TJuice, glad to hear things seem to be settling down and you're feeling nauseous, sounds promising, really hope so.
AF finally seems to be on the verge of ending after 7 days thank goodness. Ttc not on the cards as still trying to pursuade dp to leave, but he is reluctant and was still saying today how nice it would be for dd to have a sibling
Took dd to something called rhythm kids today - 1 mum was pg there, felt v envious. dd made me feel bit better though - at end mums had to lie down and relax while kids could potter about, my dd chose clamber on to lie on top of me saying "cuddle mummy" which was v sweet - though she then kept saying "awake now! Up" which wasn't so relaxing!

Hope everyone else ok, sorry so many people getting af though

Congratulation KS on your good news too

Feeling very tearful today.
Should have been my 12 week scan.
Had a bit of pre-bleeding for my af going on pains have been coming and going.
tested (just in case)and got bfn.
Just found out today that another friend is pregnant and just feel really low.

One half of me wants to just get that first af out of the way and another feels like If/when I do I won't be getting pregnant again for ages.
I just want to cry (which probably means I'll get my af 3 days from now )

Well day 3 after ERPC and still up and down like a yoyo - so all of you with AF I know how you feel.
The good news from the rest of you does make me feel more positive though.

Also - made soup today - very thereputic, I recommend to all - I think it must be something to do with the comforting smell that fills the house.

Kitten has given up my bedside/sofaside vigil and has taken to bringing in worms from the garden and leaving them on the kitchen floor as little presents. Lovely !

Hello everyone - sorry not been online. Got my AF - 1st one since 15th July!!

But oh my fing god ILTS mate you got your BFP* - soooooooo pleased for you!
Rosy raises large glass of white to Ilts for the next 9 happy months

Am going to give MN a rest for a while I think but wish everyone on here the best of luck - especially Kat & Ilts (seems so long ago we were waiting for those HB scans girls.)

Thanks for all the support.

Rosy

Hi all. Feeling better about things today. The bleeding has calmed down a lot, and I felt energetci enough to go out and about tday. My mum had my little boy (bless my lovely mum)and I mooched around the shops and bought some new clothes (much needed!)... oh and scoffed a lot of chocolate too :-) So feeling ok, considering, and thinking I may venture out again tomorrow and take DS to toddler group.

TJ - hope tests bring good news. Nausea is a great sign :-)

alittlebit - I know that feeling pretty well by now too. Bubble bath and glass of wine, I say, and bring on next month!

Kasha - fantastic news! gives hope to us all (we are ttc no.2 and I have just had a miscarriage at 6 weeks...)

aquababe - I know just how you feel. I have two close friends who are pregnant and it is very hard to contend with after a miscarriage. Don't know what else to say, really, except that you have my sympathies and as I am feeling a bit stronger today, you can have some positive energy too :-)...it WILL happen for us soon xxx

Hope you are all ok this evening xx

What I find hard is whenever I see pregnant women I can't stop myself wondering how far along they are, how would I look now? Would my babybump be that size? Can't stop keeping track of how many weeks I should be (16)
I know it's not a helpful way to think, but I can't stop
With everything else in my life going on just feel so down. Thank goodness for dd as it's impossible to be sad in her company, she is such a happy, loving little girl - even holds hands with any other toddlers in buggies on the bus / waves to all around her, swear she believes she's royalty

jules - I don't know what to say to you words aren't enough, can't find any I just want to pick you up give you a great big hug and take some of your pain away from you, your post has me in floods, sorry. It's not fair what you have been through and are going through every day, life bloody sucks sometimes. do not ever apologise for coming on here and writing down how you feel it's what this board is here for. I feel you WILL be a mum with a LO of your own some day, don't give up hope x

hello to everyone else bit weepy tonight think the EW is on her evil Halloween way

spilshspolsh - it's hard not to keep count of the weeks I know I do

ALBS - I know AF sucks we have such a desperation to get pregnant that when we don't it sends us so low but somehow we pick ourselves up and get on with a new cycle again, anyway I'm an August babe and August babes rock!

loveangel - so glad you are feeling a bit better x

rosybelle - sorry to see you go

teeheelaydee - glad your feeling a bit better too and lol at your kitten

aquababe - sorry about AF

Dear Jules - I felt like crying reading your post. Really puts things into perspective for me. You've been through such a terrible time. That level of loss - it must be incredibly hard for you and your DH. I think you are doing absolutely the right thing seeing a counsellor. It probably isn't going to help much to begin with, but down the line, as you go through the different stages of grief, it may help a lot more. If you can get out of bed in the morning (even half the time) and face the day after what you have been through, you're doing ok my girl. Don't make the mistake of thinking you have to put on a happy face if that isn't how you're feeling. I won't patronise you with 'huns' and 'hugs' but I will say, I have three friends who have gone on to have successful pregnancies after multiple miscarriages (one had four miscarriages...and now has four healthy children!). Don't give up. But equally, take your time to heal and don't feel it's a race against time to ttc. Looking after yourself (and each other) has to be number one priority right now. xxx

Jules, your post made me cry for your sadness. I wish I could think of something to say that would make you feel a bit better. I've read of many women who do go on to have children after many miscarriages, and I hope that if you decide to continue ttc that you will be one of those.
Please please don't apologise for posting about how bad you feel - that's what this thread is for

Jules I really feel for you. You need somewhere to vent and this is the perfect place. I really hope the couselling session helps you.

Jules - you are such a brave lady to come out and speak about this. I hope that mnet can relieve some of the pain that you are feeling. I have only recently joined and it took me some time to come out and speak I must say it does help. I realise Im not alone and there are a lot of people worse off than me.
I had my first miscarriage 5 weeks ago ttc no1. I hate to admit but I honestly felt like ending it all. So I cannot begin to imagine how you and dp are feeling.
You may not want to start talking about trying again but dont give up. Im a great believer in the thought that if you want something so much do everything in your power to get that and eventually you will get it.
I am free to talk to you all night if that will help you.

I think its great that you decided to go to councilling - it has helped me. The first session was dreadful - I felt worse afterwards. But I think she made me get a lot of skeletons out of the closet and after a few hours I felt so much better.

Oh Jules I came on here after a few days away to ask for advice and I started to read down just to catch up and your story stopped me in my tracks. Really don't know what to say except that I hope you get your LO

Ladies can I just ask for some thoughts/comparison to your own experiences please? Its a tmi post I'm afraid.

I had my mc confirmed on 12 Sept at 9 weeks, passed sac 22 Sept and the hospital didn't think I needed another scan. First AF post mc was 18 Oct and it was medium/light bleeding for just 4 days. I've always had fairly light and trouble free periods but this was even less hassle than usual, no sore boobs beforehand which I always get, and not even a twinge of cramping. I kind of assumed that first AF post mc would be heavier, but this was lighter. Then I settled down to spotting which is normal in the lst day or so of AF for me, except it hasn't stopped. And it gets worse (as in slightly heavier) after BD.

Now I'm on CD13, have been bleeding/spotting for tht 13 days and now getting EWCM mixed with blood, I have no idea what's going on. Has anyone had anything similar?
