Pleased to see you LollysMum1, although at the hospital staff attitude to you. I think I probably would have completely lost it and ended up a sobbing mess on the floor with a trail of disgruntled staff in my wake. I'm really not very good at being polite when I'm p..ed off!

LullyMummaOfOne · 08/10/2008 10:25

Hi LollysMum1, I just read your threas from the June tread and though i'd share my story as its very simualr to yours, i hope it helps!

Im july i has a MMC at 9 weeks, was told that my period should return within 4-6 weeks. Dead on 4 weeks i had very light spotting that lasted for about 5 days, i though it was AF so started to count my cycle from then. Then to my horror whist at inthe middle of September i had what seemed like another MC. I flooded though my trousers and i was passing quite large clots. The flow of blood was so bad i woudnt even wear sanatrity towles i had to put a folded up bath towel inbetween my legs. Anyway to cut a long story short i went to A&E who tested my for pregnancy and it came back negative. The Doctor said it was a hormonal inbalance which is very common for a woman who has MC within 3 months! The next day i had no bleeding, nothing all all- not even brown discharge. Then after about a week my period came dead on its arrival date, im still baffled by what happended and at the back of my mind i wonder if it was another MC but that i will never know!

My AF is now due on the 17t Oct so an sitting tight with my fingers & toes crossed that just maybe im lucky this month and get a BFP!

Wishing you and everyone else lots of luck

God sorry about all the errors & terrible spelling, im trying to speak and type at the same time! Not a good idear when my mind is on other things!! ha ha

Hi ladies I keep typing lots of lovely long posts to you all, but then my modem keeps crashing, it doesnt seem to like MN very much

so....going to try a short message

Hope youa re all well. Nothing exciting her, just waiting for Ov. Have decided to try and BD everyother dayfor next few weeks so I dont get bogged down trying to quess ovulation. I know this wont happen but its a nice idea. LOL

Sorry to hear of you experiences Lollysmum1 and Lullymummaofone. Hope you managing to rest Lollysmum1 and sorry to hear of attitudes of the hospital staff.

I will try and type abit more in a while if stupid internet will let me x

Oh NO yellow flowers, how frustrating hunni. Sorry that you arehaving such a tough time. Hugs to you xxxx

smallone · 08/10/2008 18:28

Sorry you're still in limbo yellowflowers, I hope this next test gets you some results.

I've still got sore boobs and occasional cramping, so I have a little pixie jumping up and down in the back of my head saying "you're pg, you're pg!" Need to find some sort of comedy mallet to hit her with!

LollysMum1 · 08/10/2008 20:03

Thanks Lullymummaofone - amazing how similar your experience was. It really is quite distressing when you are bleeding that much. Will just have to keep everything crossed for this month...

Yellowflowers - poor you! It is agony waiting but just try and keep as calm and relaxed as poss (and not secretly telling yourself that you are preg all the time like I did!!) Easier said than done so I'll shut up!

xx

TeenyTinyTorya · 09/10/2008 01:10

Well, have finished BD for this month - just got to wait a week now to see what happens!

Omg yellowflowers this must be driving you nuts! I so hope you get a positive result after all this.Everything crossed for you

I am trying not to get too hopeful I am trying not to get too hopeful but two days ago I had a big temp dip on my chart (dpo6) and then yesterday and today I have very slight pink tinged cm.

These are not usual occurrences in my cycle so staying optimistic without getting too excited

questions2008 · 09/10/2008 11:00

eek I'm top of the list! so much pressure

umm, i really don't know what's going on tbh, as this is my first month without a copper coil for about 2 years (which caused me quite strong cramps just before AF starts), I'm not sure if pains i'm feeling are pre-af or anything else.

i have had a pain in my lower abdomen, mostly on the left side, quite a bit yesterday and still there today. it's not cramps but just a dull pain that comes and goes. could this be implantation? also, DH and I are conivnced my boobs are bigger, but this does happen pre-af anyway. so can't really say! aaargh! wish there could be clearer signs one way or another.

yellowflowers · 09/10/2008 12:21

If I am not pregnant then everyone just smells. This morning I could see no one on the train eating but could smell a sandwich. today at work the person next to me has terrible BO and I can smell a fag on someone across the room. Hope it's a symptom

questions2008 · 09/10/2008 22:23

littlecheese you know once is all it takes [winks]

questions2008 · 10/10/2008 08:11

Aaargh, I tested at 6am and I got a really faint line, so faint I was about to throw the test away! I'm trying not to get too excited..[Grin]

OH CONGRATULATIONS!!! That's wonderful

smallone · 10/10/2008 09:14

Ooh how exciting! Are you going to test again? When?

LullyMummaOfOne · 10/10/2008 09:19

Congratulations Questions, thats great news.

I couldnt resist and tested this morning, even though AF not due until next Friday and guess what i got a BFN. I knew that would be the resuly so am now angry with myself for wasting yet another test. Im just so hungry all the time, funny aching boobies and weird feelings in my tummy. I want this week to fly by but i know it wont!

Lets hope there are lots more BFP on here next week, good luck everyone x
