Thought I'd take the plunge and begin new thread to follow on from this one thread

All welcome.

funtime - amazing news!!! congratulations!! And ray - huge congratulations to you too!!! The number of BFPs are really stacking up now. I so hope the title of the thread comes true...looking increasingly likely!

So here's hoping for pinky, wasabi and yellow (and anyone else - sorry if left off).

I had my scan yesterday which was amazing as there was our little baby and there was a heartbeat!!! The baby was tiny though - only 5mm long - and I'm 6 weeks and 3 days rather than 7 weeks and 2, which is what I thought I was as I didn't get my LH surge until CD20. (It makes you realise how good it is to use ov sticks or temping etc so as to have a better idea of your cycle, otherwise I would have been worried sick that it was too small etc). I now go back every two weeks from now on util I get to 14 weeks which is so reassuring. So now, another two week wait to see if I make it to 8 weeks...!

Lovely news Queenie and remember how difficult it is to be precise when you're measuring something by clicking with a mouse when it's so small.

It's really good to hear that you're getting regular scans. Despite 3 mcs and an ectopic I'm not allowed a scan before 12 weeks unless I'm mc'ing.

Great to hear that they're a little more enlightened in your neck of the woods .

queenie thats fab that all is well and that they are keeping a close eye. Will you be putting the scan pics on? I am thinking positive thoughts for you and will keep my fingers crossed!

Great news ray - woooohooooo! So pleased.

So I am officially 4dpo but last night in pub (not drinking though1) I felt ever so nauseous and went to loo to throw up my dinner. Now I know morning sickness makes you nauseous without making you throw up and I know it's way too early and also I have headached behind one eye so think I am getting ill rather than anything else, but for a moment I was excited, until I reminded myself not to be silly. (DH ate the same and was fine btw).

funtime - can't believe how different treatment is depending on where you live and cross for you that you don't have a scan until 12 weeks. Would you get a private one done? It may well be worth considering as the scan yesterday SOOO put my mind at rest.

Makes me realise how good things are where I am. They have this special clinic for people who have had recurrent miscarriages to get them through the first trimester (with loads of scans and other kinds of support if you want it). I think it's entirely funded by voluntary donations and I will so be making a donation myself. I remember Mumsnet beginning to campaign around miscarriage treatment and support - and this special clinic is so the sort of thing the NHS should model itself on.

kittycat - I may well put some scan photos up but at the moment I'm prevented by technological incompetency. So for now, I'll describe it instead: a tiny little blob that kept contracting in and out (the heart beat)...but the scan picture only showed the blob!

yellow - nice to hear you're getting totally carried away with symptom spotting!!! I so hope you're right but remember 4dpo is pretty early on...xxxx

queenie awh is so cute. I think you need to create a profile page. Then you can add photos to that. If you click on peoples names you can see their profile pages if they have one. x

How wonderful Queenie you are so lucky to have the facility available to you. It is rubbish where I live you only get a 20 week one, anything before then you have to pay for it.

Well although I have 2 days until AF due the first response PG test I had upstairs was calling me and I could not resist testing and it was a BFN so I guess that it is not this month for me I had really hoped for some good news this time. I guess I need to up the anti next month and start temping or something.

pinky - sorry to hear about BFN, but as you're not even at your AF due date don't get too disheartened. I never get a BFP until I'm officially late. So hang on in there....If AF does arrive though, definitely recommend temping or similar. I never did temping but started using OPK sticks a few months ago. I thought they were brilliant as it enabled me to know when my AF would come and to have a very good idea of when it was that I conceived and to not get phased when they told me I was 6 and not 7 weeks (because I already knew that).

kitty - even that sounds v complex. I'll keep describing for now but will let you know if I progress to visual aids. xxx

I hope you are right Queenie but the test says 98% accurate when performed two days before

pinkyblue is your cycle always that predictable? Mine started to get less so as we were ttc - so maybe AF would be due later than 2 days (am being optimistic ) I def got a BFN a couple of days before the BFP.

Thanks Iggypiggy it does seem pretty much bang on 28 days these days, but you give me a bit of hope Did you get your BFP on the day your AF was due?

Congratulations Ray!!
Well we are doing very well on this thread at the moment. I hope the momentum attracts some new members because at the rate we are going I will be turning the lights out very soon!

Queenie so happy you had a good scan. That unit sounds amazing - they should be aiming to put somewhere similar in every health authority.

Yellow - 4 days po would be very early for sickness but I guess stranger things have happenned. I so hope that you get lucky this month.

Pinky - There is still hope for you but I do see your point that a First Response should be showing at least a faint line by now. It just sucks doesn't it?

Flintski - sorry it wasn't your month either. I think the idea of not actively trying is a very constructive one.

I cried last night in front of my dh about impending AF. He was really sweet but I think even he had a tear in his eye at one point. We really went for it this month and are both so disppointed. I just about coped with the mc by telling myself I would concieve again quickly and everything would be ok.

Now its not.

aw wasabi - hugs to you. I feel the same (that everyone else here is getting bfp and not me - though am very pleased for you all obviously) so guess I will be here with you.

If we see other threads where people are looking for a supportive group we should def invite them over. I've just invited them on one thread...

pinkyblue it was roughly day it was due if cycle normal - but it was fluctuating a bit.. it was CD 30 that i did the test i think

Many congrats Ray Fingers crossed all continues to go well.

Wasabi - one of the worst times for me post MC was when my first couple of AF's arrived - it just felt so incredibly wrong and unfair that I was having AF, and just emphasized what I'd lost all over again My PMT / hormonal reactions were off the scale for the first couple of cycles - so in short, I know what you're going through. It was almost worse than the MC because relatives and friends had moved on. Like you, I was absolutely desperate to be PG again and remember sobbing my heart out in January when I was ovulating and DP was not co-operating.

All I can say is that it does get better, I think it took me over 3 months to stop constantly thinking about the MC and TTC and start to slowly move on. Maybe I'm an extreme case (or a basket case !!) but nobody ever tells you that it takes 3 months for all the hormones to get completely out of your system.

When I was on a 2WW in Jan, I thought I had symptoms - itchy boobs - well I did, but they were my boobs returning to normal from a PG state, not the other way round That was over 2 months post MC

Wasabi I know exactly how you feel, I thought that I would get pregnant really quickly after my MC but it took around 3 months for my cycle to return to normal as it happened at 11 weeks. I am still waiting a year on and feel really sorry for myself as at 36 I feel time is running out for me. The fact that you have got pregnant before means you can again. It is just a bummer when it takes so long!

On a positive note the fact that there have been so many BFP on this thread must mean we are doing something right and we will all get those BFPs soon

Next month DH will not know what has hit him as I will make sure that we put the work in and I will start temping and fingers crossed it will pay off.

Hi Jools - thanks for that post. You aren't a basket case! The hormones linger for much longer than I'd realised.

It doesn't help that my mother who visited for Mothers Day on Sunday with my Dad started banging on about someone she knew once who gave up all hope, blah, blah, adopted blah blah then preggers. Which is a rubbish story on every level because it suggests that somehow the adopted kid was worth less than the biological one and also that my Mum thinks I am somehow at fault for "trying" too hard. She was so f**king tactless I could have punched her quite frankly, mothers day or not.

Hi wasabi - people can be so insensitive, even our mothers. (especially our mothers).

friend of mine miscarried at 12 weeks and bled for three months afterwards so not surprised how it can still affect you for so long. and there is huge dearth of info about it out there

Wasabi your mum sounds as tactful as mine I just don't bother talking to mine about this sort of stuff anymore as I know she will come out with the same sort of stuff that your mum did.

The thing is it is really hard for people to understand what it is like to have a MC, they expect you to just get over it really quickly. I found that the only people who have talked to me about it are people that have been through a similar thing. My mum has not mentioned it since it happened (she probably thinks it will upset me and is not very good at emotional stuff)

Jools you are certainly not a basket case!

That was the worst if it through Pinky - I didn't mention it! My mother somehow worked it into the conversation!

Oh no how unsubtle Wasabi

Hello everyone

I always read your thread because I like it but am gatecrashing briefly today to say hi to Wasabi My post MC cycles have been totally weird and unrecognisable. This is the first one that feels normal (i had mmc in December - similiar to jools) and i have been taking secial supplements and i had acupunture!

I have also read that the post MC fertility thing is in fact cobblers. The later the MC the longer you take to get back to normal. Your body knows when it's ready. But I know how disappointing it is when AF shows up and how much you just want to be preg again. also echo Jools really and say that it knocked me for 6 far more than I anticipated. MC just is a big hit for your body. Not forever though. You will get lucky soon, you'll see

Yellow and Wasabs and Jools (and all other TTCers) Please feel free to pop in on our thread if you get a bit thin on the ground around here. We're all in a pretty similar boat and we are definitely not an exclusive club.

I think you have a few BFPs who want to stick around here for a while however and I certainly wouldn't want them to be without a home so I am not suggesting you all disband or anything (congrats to all of you!!)just an open door policy (yikes now i am resorting to office gobbledook - time to leave!)

ttfn xx

heya guys!

Hi Sifuentes - thanks for dropping in! Where's your thread then? Not that I'm thinking of jumping ship but I think I can keep up with 2 threads.

Hopefor - so sorry to hear that your cycle is torturing you like this. I hope that you get your BFP soon but that your specialist can help you. (btw - 8th March has been and gone quite some time ago!)

Hope everyone else is having a good day x
