I've started a new thread as the old one was full - hope everyone finds their way here OK.

Singing typing is v theraputic isnt it? Sorry to hear you are having a toug time - bodies are v wierd imo - AF hasnt turned up yet but HPT says neg so what is THAT about?? I think we need to try (v hard I know) to let go of the cycle watchnig a bit maybe - I am convinced that the more I think about it the worse my cycle is. Take care.

Singingintherain · 22/05/2008 09:13

I have not managed to buy any HPT at the moment. I am left with one left over from my last 2 MCs. I bought 5 in one go from an auction site. Therefore, I think that I am just going to have to hold on like you say and wait rather than cycle watch.

I am afraid to use my last one in case I need it later. I can not buy them out here they are very very expensive. The Doctor does not do them either. Both times they never even double checked to see if I was pregnant, I just told them.

I would love to join the 2ww, but not sure when to join lol

I think that I might wait until next Friday, if I can and see what happens up to then. I am very busy this weekend and hopefully this will take my mind off it all.

mistlethrush · 22/05/2008 09:37

Singing whereabouts are you? I can see why you're holding off if they are difficult and expensive to get hold of. Sucks doesn't it.

I do think that the more you worry the worse things get - a couple of months ago I was symptom spotting horrendously and it made arrival of af worse... This month didn't need to symptom spot, not surprised at arrival of af and not so much angst about the whole thing. (Plenty of angst at the fact that there was no point on going on 2ww, but that's by the by...)

I live in Spain. Just trying to buy one was bad enough, so I gave in, opting for the internet. They were ok, but you always wonder if when it says negative you really are and not being given a false one. My lines were quite clear when I waited a few extra days after the first test.

I only bought a pack of five and used two each time previously. I only have one left and it is quite important I do not waste it, just because I can not wait.

I have had loads of blood tests and the lastest says that there should not be a problem as I have been pregnant 4 times with two DC. My first two were conceived on first month of trying by accident, when I did not know how the whole ttc thing worked. I was very young and did not bother working any cycles out then.

All my Specialist says, is wait until you are pregnant again and come and see me and we will prescribe some Asprin??????

I am really concerned about actually becomming pregnant and not dreading every appointment I have.

I was told there is nothing else they can do for me. It appears that my MC's were just bad luck . He told me that there was noting wrong with my fertility as I have been pregnant 4 times, so I have to wait and see. Not much help to me I feel.

mistlethrush · 22/05/2008 11:41

Isn't it strange that they are so easy to get here and yet so difficult in Spain. I don't know what it would be like posting them, but would try if you'd like me to!

Singingintherain · 22/05/2008 12:41

I suppose they might be easier to get here if you know what to ask for and also know where to look. We do not have any high street store like England and supermarkets do not stock them. You have to go to Parmacies here and these are usually small and expensive. Wish we had supermarkets here like England.

Miss baked beans, gravy and all the regular sauses etc. Most of all I miss the freedom to find or ask for what I want and getting it with confidence. Roll on my next visit home.

I have clearblue for next time and just need to buy some test sticks, so I am optomisic that this will help. Just need to keep strong until or if AF shows. I think that I would be more certain if I just had my normal symtoms of dull ache and sore chest. The sore chest is my main sign that AF is about to show, but nothing and no sign of this yet symtom yet which is really confusing me.

I am thankful of your kind offer, but do not worry. I have decided that I am going to wait a little longer until I can not wait any longer, although very painful to be on the week by week waiting list. Keep a look out in case I become desperate

bunnyinheadlights · 22/05/2008 15:49

hello ladies. have been away due to lack of broadband for many weeks coupled with crazy work travel schedule! also helped a little to not think of ttc for a while but it's always there in the back of my mind!

sorry to hear that a few of us are getting down. kate i don't know what to say. but keep posting and know we are thinking of you. i cant imagine how hard it is, but do let yourself feel the emotions and know that you Will get through this.

clairepo i share the same fears about ttc - feel so helpless and most "helpful" people try to say don't think about it the stress of it alone can affect ttc, but how does one do that?!

mistle sorry to hear that dh doesnt want to play ball on ttc front. it's so hard whenyou feel pressured by age as well. he is probably doing it out of self preservation and for you too from the sounds of it he doesnt want to go through the thought of losing you.

on my front, am very sad that edd is coming up next week -28 may. the sadness is taking me by surprise as i have been quite upbeat and positive for the last 2 mths. i guess it doesnt help that we decided to ttc 2 weeks ago, was overdue af by 2 days today and tested at 5am this morning- faint positive (dont get too excited) and af is now here in full force. so think that i had a chemical pg. am fearing in back of my mind that i wont every be able to carry another child ever again. but must stay positive. looking forward to my next session with acupuncturist and hope she can sort me out somehow!

hugs to everyone else and sorry to newcomers who had to join here. i havent readback too much so am not very caught up with new posts...sorry!

DUSTIN · 23/05/2008 16:19

Hello everyone,

Sorry so many people are feeling low at the moment.

clairepo I had my mc in Sept also and still not pregnant (currently on the 2ww wait). I had to wait before ttc again due to unrelated medical tests- which didn't help with my stress levels. I am sure it will happen for us all (I have to believe that!) Have you tried hypnosis? The Tina Taylor fertility hypnosis cd is good. I used this when I got pregnant with my ds and seriously thinking about trying it again.

Kate I think you are an amazing lady to go through what you have and still be so supportive of other ladies on here. Take care.

ontheup · 23/05/2008 17:59

AF EW

cece · 23/05/2008 22:44

Just popping in to say I am away next week. Omwards and upwards girls

scully · 24/05/2008 10:28

Hello ladies
How's your week been Kate, has your friend replied to your text?
Welcome Singing, I have also had 4 pregnancies and am the mother of 2 dc. No reason for my 2 m/c either, so I am just hoping both were bad luck and it will be 3rd time lucky.
Mistle, must be hard when you don't know what dh is thinking, have you talked about it any more?
I have been having acupuncture for the past month and have found it very good, af arrived 5wks to the day after m/c and after going yesterday, af has restarted a little, as she wants to make sure m/c is definitely complete, before we start on the ttc path. It's been 10wks since the first scan when we were told there might be a problem, & although I would like to just get on with ttc again, I am happy that both the acupuncturist and gynae are taking their time and making doubley sure that everything is ok, first.
Hope you're all having a great weekend

ontheup · 24/05/2008 19:06

Well I survived the dinner last night - I got the impression everyone was trying not to go on about the whole pg thing to save my feelings which was kind of them so overall it wasnt too bad - had a bit of a sob when I got home but the day was made better by another friend asking me to be godmother to her new dd so was about that which counteracted everything else. Evil AF this month really heavy but hopefully it means things are getting back to normal...hope everyone has a good weekend.

mistlethrush · 24/05/2008 19:11

OTU glad dinner went well. At least things are starting to get back to normal OK.

So I won't be around for a couple of weeks or so, but I look forward to reading lots of good news (please!) when I get back!

ontheup · 26/05/2008 09:53

DUSTIN · 26/05/2008 19:10
