December 07- MC Avengers in big pants, going through, been through or pg after a mc, still here, still eating cakes. We will not be beaten!

[aquababe]

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

Kasha fingers crossed now it all goes well

Still can't believe it, even after 4 tests. Once I had the little pot of wee sitting there I got a bit carried away with the testing!

Yippppppeeeeeee Kasha fantastic news !!!!!

That all sounds really positive, especially as the lines were so dark and appeared so quickly. Don't worry about conceiving so quickly after mc, we decided to wait for a normal af after erpc and also because of waiting for blood test results (had them since, all fine). So we didn't ttc last month even though I'm positive I ovulated, and now this month when we've been trying, temp and lack of EWCM says I haven't ovulated... so what I really mean is that I wish we'd tried when we had the chance last month! Will be keeping everything crossed for you! xx

That is really good news - well done! It was obviously meant to be! No ways would a strong line be left over from m/c so it is def a new pregnancy. I guess it is just going to be difficult to date the pg - but then seeing as you seem to know by your chart when you ovulated then prob you can guestimate a date?

I do hope it all goes well for you xx

hey people got my first af since mc through yesterday and spent day feeling totally sorry for myself.
I had decided to wait a little while before ttc again as this second mc has affected me so much ,but the thought of having to wait so so long for another dbaby is wrecking me too. my doc wants me to wait for three months this time (also gives him time to check out the fibroids I guess) then if I conceive after three months I'll get another christmas baby, but if I wait then it will be the due ddate of my first mc.
I guess I just don't know what to do I was confidently going fine take a 4/5 month break but now my periods here all that seems to go out the window.

Congratulations Kasha!
and a happy and fertile new year to us all!

hello all

aqua take heart I know how you feel, I keep taking out the due date wheel and checking 'If I conceive here then the baby will be born then' etc and in the back of my mind factoring in any possible mc
BUT I am positive
hand holding if needed

kasha how does it feel this morning?

hope everyone else is feeling ok

kasha - yaaaaaaaay!

congrats lady!

that is so fab. i know you must be worried but its great news.

aqua - its good to have a break in terms of headspace, but you'll also know when you are ready to try again. i kidded myself that i needed a break mentally but i think i just didn't want to be disappointed every month. better to just get on with things and secretly see what happens then get obsessive (at least that is what i thought). hope it works out for you, either which way. xx

hi lilypink, loveangel (you'll be a better driver for failing the test - at least that is what i told myself!) and sfx.

Hi TJuice did you mean THAN get obsessive rather than THEN get obsessive?!? LOL because THEN get obsessive sounds much more likely in my experience!!!

Hi everyone, hope you are having a good weekend!

aquababe it's so hard trying to know what the right thing to do is, isn't it? I guess at least if you've got AF back you know your body is getting back to normal.

I'm starting to feel sick here which I hope is a good thing! I think I'm around 5 weeks, if I did O on the 16th that would make 5 weeks tomorrow. I've had some spotting but trying not to stress about it, the pg I had most spotting with was the one that worked out OK (DS). Other than that, just sore norks and feeling dizzy all the time!

aqua its awful that lurking feeling of impending edd isn't it? I think the turn of the year made it feel worse, 'here's 2008, where's my baby?' You have a few days to sort out for feelings and talk to OH and if necessary go back to the docs to talk to him/her about ttc without waiting 3 months.

Congratulations Kasha

kasha - congratulations.

I don't have much to add except waiting for first AF post ERPC here. Am on day 30 - not that that necessarily means anything after a m/c.

Thought I was ok but then had a bit of a wobble at Sainsburys this morning. There was a six-week-old baby with his sibling and Dad at the checkout next to ours. He was grizzling a bit and I just couldn't bear to hear it. Kept thinking about my first m/c and how my baby would be about the same age - give or take a week or so

Been ok the rest of the day - but it really surprised me, the intensity of the emotion at the time. I had to go off to the loos to have a cry and compose myself! DH stoically bagging the groceries, and wondering where I'd gone...

(Will it get easier?)

kasha, congratulations!!

and hi to all.

verso, it will get easier, i promise. i dont think it ever totally leaves you, but it does get easier.

well LWH on thursday! cant believe im travelling halfway acrossthe country to see a doctor (but so relieved that we have been accepted by them) bit nervous but sooooo excited. MIL keeps saying "this time next year you'll be holding your baby" i hope she's psychic

Good luck at LWH lissie x

thanks. how are you? not "seen" you for ages!

hi all

how is everyone?? xx

Hi - i have been on the pregnancy boards worrying about everything to do with current pregnancy. I have kept lurking on this thread but didnt want to post about pregnancy worries as it feels to insensitive. How are you doing Lissie?

hi ILTS x

Your MIL sounds psychic to me Lissie

lol lcy, i think so too.

please dont feel like that. whats been going on? can i help?

I am ok now but had a very stressful week waiting for 8 week scan (2 weeks of bleeding and no symptoms). I was absolutely convinced i had another missed miscarriage. But thankfully all was ok at the scan and i saw a little bean waving. Now have a scan at 10 and 12 weeks to reduce stress. Missed miscarriage has really messed with my head!

ikwym,i think you take being pg for granted and a mc is always something that happens to other people. but once it happens to you then your view of the world is changed forever.

How are you getting on? Do you know whats going to happen on Thursday?

iassume they will just schedule our tests and take our history. im hoping that they decide to start me on clomid straight away, but ive a feeling that we may be banned from ttc for a while tho til we have all the results.

Good luck with it and let us know how you get on xx

i will!

Hi all. Hope you are all having a fairly relaxing Sunday?

Congrats Kasha - fab news!

aquababe - I feel for you. I was torn between wanting to get pregnant straight away after my m/c, and needing to wait for my own sanity (not on doctor's orders, so slightly different to you, but I do have some sense of how you're feeling, and it's rotten ).

lissie - haven't seen you on here for ages. Hope you're well?

Lcy - congratulations to you, too. Hope to be joining you soon

Verso - I have had some wobbly moments since my m/c. It usually takes me completely by surprise and like you, I'm taken aback by the strength of the emotion I feel. My m/c was in October, and I am still feeling quite raw about it. One of my close friends had a baby just before Xmas and I couldn't really hold her for very long. I was fine to be around her, stare at the gorgeous little thing sleeping in her cot, and coo over her when she woke up - but I couldn't physically hold her for more than a minute or two. Very shocked at how strongly I felt about it. It was just too painful .
