MC Avengers - Chocolate cake anyone?

[mistlethrush]

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

Morning ladies. So sorry to see new faces here. But this is a great board for all of us in the same boat.
I thought I'd come on early as have some news.....I got a BFP this morning. I had a suspicion that I may be as I have been having "twinges" since a week last Thursday, and despite a BFN on Tuesday, there it was this morning (one of the test ones sent out by mumsnet and clear blue).
SO ,whilst thrilled, I know the next few weeks, are going to be very long. I've an appointment with the recurrent miscarriage specialist in 2 weeks - made long before the BFP - so I'll update you if you'd like with how that goes. I jst hope this one is a stickey one. This will be my third pg this year alone.
Hope there will be some more BFPs here soon.

LadyHelen Congratulations! Sooooooo pleased for u!!!Fingers crossed for the most sticky little bean.

ladyhelen - how lovely to have a bfp. Good lucky and sending sticky vibes

I am supposed to be doing my housework but couldn't resist popping in to say congratulations to aquababe and LadyHelen .

hi ladies
just a quick one to say an ENORMOUS!!! CONGRATS to ladyhelen im so happy for you
hi to everyone else
xx ei xx

CONGRATULATIONS! Getting all my velcro out to send extra stickiness your way! xx (if only it was that easy....)

ladyhelen - congratulations, that's wonderful. I was just lurking here, to see how everyone was. Hope it's a sticky one, and that the weeks don't go to horribly sloooowly. I'm 9+6 today, and I've already had two scans - it has helped a lot, but I'm reaching the time of my mc at 11 weeks and having the occasional flashback. I don't think the worry goes completely till you have a baby in your arms (and even then that's probably just the start of it .

Thank you everyone!
Its still sinking in. I've not even worked out EDD yet. I can't quite believe it. I'm going to start taking baby aspirin today. Absolutely no alcohol, no going to the gym (swimming instead?) and lots of crossing everything that this one is a stayer.

Hi there - may I join in? I've just got a BFP after a long, drawn out MC that started at Christmas and am swinging between worry and panic (I'm coming up to 41). Am usually one who lurks around in the shadows, rather than posts on MN, but have plucked up a bit of courage! This is a great, supportive thread

Hi sussexoldspot - welcome and congratulations. Hope it's a sticky bean. Please do also feel free to join us for knicker checking at

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/49/543447

for those of us pg after mc. Is this your first?

btw, I'm probably being stupid, but when I cut and paste URLs I can never get them to turn into proper links. Advice most welcome!

sussex congratulations on your BFP too. I'm going to be posting on here and also on the "Knicker Checkers Anonymous " in the pregnancy topic thread for the next few weeks. Check them out ( no pun intended) too. Maybe I'll see you over there?

Knicker Checkers Anonymous? My God, that's me. Every 10 minutes. Thank you, daisy and ladyhelen (many congratulations to both of you, too!), I will head on over there, having helped myself to a large amount of velcro from here, first!

Congrats Ladyhelen2 and Sussex, lovely news for both of you
No news here, cd21, so just waiting now to see what this cycle brings

Hello ladies, had a bit of a break from MN, come back and all hell has let loose! Three BFP's congratulations to Aquababe LadyHelen & Sussex well done girls, and good luck, here's hoping you all have very long, sticky, healthy pregnancies!
Sorry to see so many new people join us too, but a big hello and welcome to you all.
I wonder if I can ask some advice? I had my ERPC two weeks ago tomorrow, now the first one I had I only bled for 2 days and then spotted for about another 3, much the same this time but after a day of nothing, started bleeding again and spotting ever since, been having some pains in my tummy too. Anyone else experienced this?

Hello again, thanks for the nice welcome, dh took me away for a few days to cheer up so haven't been on MN. hairytoe ooh dear your friend was a bit thoughtless there, poor you!

Wow, brilliant BFPs everywhere! Congratulations and fingers crossed to aquau oldspot and ladyhelen.
Best of luck with your pregnancies!

Hey sparky and anyone else on the 2ww, how is the waiting going? I have realised that I'm (probably) due on 4th Sep, not 5th as I said before. I don't have a single symptom- boobs fine, no nausea, no implantation-type spotting. I'm rather over-emotional, but that could be down to any number of things. So I really don't think it's happened this month, and actually that is OK with me. It's still less than 2 mths since the mc, and less than 4 mths since I came off the pill, so I'm willing to be patient.

How about you?

Hi Mollie, thank you for your fb message, will get back to you properly in a bit, just wanted to say that I'm pretty sure what you described also happened to me after my erpc, although I don't remember any pain. Eventually I phoned the mw and the hospital just to check it was 'normal' and they basically said that as long as it seems to be tailing off (ie just spotting), and doesn't hurt or smell bad [grim-emoticon ] then don't worry. They said if it was still happening after 2 weeks to call them again. I think it lasted about 10 days in all... If you're worried then call them, that's what they're there for after all! They may want to have a look at you just to check you haven't got an infection. HTH! Lote of love xx

Kate gatecrashing here to say I have that book you are after and will send it to you if you like? Is on my shelf and staring at me while I lay in bed chanting healthy and well...healthy and well. If you would like it you can give me your address on FB and I'll pop it in the post tomoz?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Mollie welcome back!! I can never stay away either, it drives DH mad

Joy I am on the 2ww too....but I think the game might be over already, although i only ovulated last weekend I had a tiny bit of blood today, its stopped now but maybe my cycle is still messed up from the mc - boo! Well I suppose it would have been to much to ask to get pregnant this quickly!

Waves a big hello to all the other lovely ladies

It is so lovely to read of all those BFPs, really gives me hope. Congratulations all round.
I feel oddly much better today because AF has paid her first visit since the mc. I don't know why this should have me feeling better but it just has, I suppose it kind of marks the end of that chapter and the beginning of ttc in earnest now. (well in about ten days' time anyway!) Is that weird?
Who knows whether I'll have any luck but at least I can try- and still in time to maybe have a Gemini! (Not that that's a primary concern!)

Thanks Popsy - you gotta love mn, you're the 2nd person to offer to lend me a copy this afternoon! Sadly I've already been on amazon and ordered a used one for about £1.99 plus p&p or something silly, but thank you so much for the offer! Was having a nosey on your fb page the other day, am obsessed with looking at other people's bumps ! and was mighty impressed by your album! All those little suits are just too cute for words! I really hope things continue to go smoothly for you, gives me hope that one day it might be me! xxx

munchie don't want to get your hopes up, but that sounds like just about perfect timeing for an implantation bleed to me... what does everyone else think?

wook I know exactly what you mean about af turning up feeling like the start of a new chapter. I was so pleased to get my first af after my erpc that I actually texted DH to tell him... Fingers crossed this is the start of a much happier time for you

sssh, almost don't want to say this as AF isn't due for 3 more days...but have done 2 CBD tests and ....BFP

starting to wory already (Daisy I'll be lurking on knickercheckers I think!) as I'm not even 4 weeks....are the high hormone levels a good sign? Or will I come crashing to earth with AF and I suppose a CP in a few days time....I am such a worrier!!

but in the meantime....baby dust all round!!

Sparky

Congratulations Sparkly!! How exciting BFP's seem to be infectious at the minute!!

Kate you have got me excited!! When u suggested implantation bleeding I remembered that I did have that with 1st pregnancy......oh please, please . Trying to remain calm as having period type pains......grrr this ttc business does my head in! How is your ttc going?

How is everyone else doing?

Afternoon, was just lurking and saw all the BFP's! Wonderful news. There's so many this is fab. Congratulations Sparkly, Aquababe LadyHelen & Sussex.

munchiesmama I'm hoping that's implantation bleeding you've got there!

I'm due on at the weekend, and even though we BD'd a lot this month I've got a tummy bug so not sure my body would be in a good enough state this month anyway... I have zero symptoms. And have convinced myself that symptom spotting is a mug's game - for me anyway though sure its cool for others - I found it just gave me false hope. My due date's coming up so I'm trying to distract myself from that. We've decided to go away that weekend and have lots of sex just for the sake of it. Any other ideas anyone?
