Hope the titles ok

OK so I have a reasonably positive start to the new thread.
What I thought to be AF turned out to be a bad case of theruns
And so when I poas'ed last night I actually got a BFP

Very nervous about it, but happy too. I actually went to the place(shopping centre) I got the positive with my dd for good luck
My dh thinks I'm mad but hey don't they all
now if I can just get past the nine week stage without going insane

ALBS glad your finally able to admit your pregnant

Lissie glad your getting that referal at last
ilts sorry it didn't happen this time

KateCricriAqua and Splish Thanks for the kind words. Non animal lovers have no idea of the bond you have with an animal. She has been part of my life for 14 years(alot of relationships don't last that long). She even came to work with me.

Verso Hope you feel better today. I know what you mean about eggs deteriorating- worries the hell out of me!

Hi all

Been recommended to come to this threadas have been thru a mc in july last year, i seem to link this to being made redundant.. i was made redundant then mc-ed , i didnt expel(?) naturally and had to have d and c , i think its called so obv very traumatic time, and dont think ive really dealt with it, DP and i are going to start ttc in june ish as we have hol in aug any advice general messages would be welcom, just nice to know im not alone, love to you all x

cricri · 19/12/2007 14:54

Hi Wannab, welcome, glad you found us, although sorry you had to iyswim. This is a wonderful thread for tears, laughs and cakes. I certainly don't know what I'd have done without it since my mmc.
In answer to your question, it takes time to get over a mc and everybody deals with it in different ways. Some women are back ttc as soon as they can (that includes me) and for others it takes a lot longer to feel ready. There's no right or wrong, just go with how you feel.
You'll find plenty of support on here in any case and there's always somebody here to answer any questions you may have. xx

Wannabamummy · 19/12/2007 14:59

tanks, its just nice to know that im not alone!

becaroodolf · 19/12/2007 19:22

Hello.

I miscarried on friday. I was 6 weeks pregnant. Still bleeding slightly but not much. Had a scan yesterday and my uterus is empty.

Want to try again, but very scared and since the mc not sure when would be best to try....cycle & when I will ovulation etc.

The EPU nurse was very nice and told me that next time I can have diagnostic blood tests done and early scans at 7 and 10 weeks which is good to know.

Anyone else mc and got pregnant again quickly and gone on to have a healthy baby?????

Verso · 19/12/2007 19:27

{{{hugs}}} to Wannab and becaroodolf. I don't have any answers for you but wanted to welcome you both.

and thanks to everyone for the replies to my post yday. I felt awful. Today isn't fantastic, but it's nowhere near as bad, if that makes sense.

becaroodolf · 19/12/2007 19:29

Verso, if it is any consolation...not long ago I was doing the dishes and heard "two little boys" by Rolf Harris on Radio 2 and the tears came....

Lcy · 19/12/2007 19:33

Welcome Becaroodolf - sorry you have to be here but hope we can provide support for you x

Hello everyone else (Lcy waves with hand that does not have chocolate in it )

Lcy · 19/12/2007 19:35

Sorry Wannabamummy I havent read all the posts yet - you are very welcome too!

My hubby handed in his PhD today - what a clever man

sfxmum · 20/12/2007 09:57

wannabamummy becaroodolf hi and welcome, sorry for what brought you here. I find that feeling you are not alone helps

I miscarried last month and I think we will wait one cycle before starting ttc again, it feels right now but we shall see.

wannaba - are back at work now?

hi everyone else

sfxmum · 20/12/2007 09:58

and congrats to Lcy hubby

Morning to everyone here.
I had a lovely time shopping. I was brave enough to go into Ann Summers. It wasnt any where near as bad as I had imagined.
Tjuice I saw those tassles. They look fab. No wonder you are pregnant

Following a few days of hiding and sulking the sunny weather has broken my mood and I am feeling good again. Isnt it amazing how the most unlikely of things knock us onto our arses!
I dont think DH & I put in enough effort this time so not expecting anything good for Christmas. Oh well I shall just have to drink my way through the festivities.

I have cats and when one died a few years ago I was heartbroken. So I have full sympathies Dustin.

Wheely I come from Worthing, where are you?

wheelybahhumbug · 20/12/2007 10:23

Ronshar - I am now in London but I am from (and my parents still live there) a v. small town in between Brighton and Newhaven which you probably haven't heard of as its pretty dull . Love Brighton though - am always trying to persuade DH to move there but he won't (the fact he'd have to add a long commute on to his 50+++ week seems a pathetic excuse ).

wheelybahhumbug · 20/12/2007 10:23

Hello everyone else - hope things are going ok for the preg ladies ! Well done your DH Lcy !

Lcy · 20/12/2007 10:47

Thanks i am very proud of him

I have had a bit of an epic already this morning. I have been bleeding brown blood all this week and decided ennough was enough. I had a scan at the EPU booked for next Thursday but thought i wwould go crazy not knowing what was going on over christmas. Any way i went to EPU - they were annoyed to see me again but scanned me and

i saw a 6 week old bean with a heart beat

Not out of the woods yet because i saw a heart beat last time but positive news to keep me going over Christmas. EPU wont scan me now till 12 weeks and i miscarried last time at about 8 so i will book in for a private scan.

I hope everyone else is ok xxx

DUSTIN · 20/12/2007 11:04

Lcy so pleased you saw a heartbeat but angry at the EPU for not scanning you again before 12 weeks. Don't they understand what a worrying time it is for a woman who has had previous mc!

Wannabamummy · 20/12/2007 11:21

Lcy · 20/12/2007 11:22

Oh dustin they are crap. The nurse was so condescending and treated me like i was stupid. she gave me a really patronising lecture about not being able to scan me every week and tried to make me wait until next thursday. I said i understand that but i am bleeding and it is your hospital protocol to scan me and if you wont i will need to speak to the Consultant - so that is the only reason they scanned me.

DH is so confused by it all - he said its like they think our idea of fun is to have internal investigations and scans!

Rant over - how are you getting on?

Lcy · 20/12/2007 11:23

Hope you are well Wannabamummy - are you looking forward to Christmas?

Excellent for your little bean LCY. Do not let them treat you like a child. It may all be boring for them but they can not refuse to treat you. Because that is what it is, a refusal of treatment. Can you imagine if it was something else and they refused to scan/treat you. What bollocks.
Sorry also ranting.

ronshar · 20/12/2007 11:28

Morning Jules it is good you are still sick, means lots of hormones. Not so good about the bleeding. Hopefully it will go soon and you can relax.

Lcy · 20/12/2007 11:28

Wannabamummy - You said earlier that you dont really feel like you have dealt with your mc. I think that is a feeling that alot of us have had - when you feel low or feel tearful for no reason. My mc has def had long term impact for me and i am still really sad about it even though i am pregnant again. Please feel free to write if you feel low - as you can probably see we have all done it at some point on this thread xx
