Hi all.

Needing some extra support this time round as have just had a MC. We are trying again straight away. But I've a feeling it's going to take ages. Got pregnant first month trying last 2 times. I have 1 DC- 11 months.

I want some people to join this thread who are ready to hold hands and help each other through the TTC.

Good luck to all.

Littleonemum and Cheepz thanks for your support.
Big hugs to you both. Littleonemum - how far gone were you? The digital test I took this morning says only 1-2 weeks pg, so while I am crying my eyes out, I feel like I don't really have the right to, ifykwim, as it was so very early. I wish I hadn't done the tests now - seeing 2 positive results just gets hopes up beyond believe. I'm now not sure what to say to family / friends- I really feel like I want to chat to people in RL about what's happening, especially as I'm still not sure if I am or not!

Spoke to my Mum briefly earlier, and she immediately asked what was wrong - mums just know when something is wrong don't they? She was with a friend, so didn't want to tell her then, but will speak to her later.
Sorry for the rambling on! Just can't concentrate - and have have lots of work to be getting on with - thankful I work from home!

Cheepz · 02/09/2009 16:32

tigerbear I was the same - it was very early - I had only known for 5 days but still its cuts to the bone. I wanted to tell everyone too but then didn't want to have to deal with all the questions - I have gradually told people over time who knew we were trying as I have come to terms with it. The dissappointment is no different however long it has been - although I think it is easier to make the emotional recovery more quickly when it is early and especially if there has been no need for medical intervention.

I called my Mum before I told my dh - Mums just know

LittleOneMum · 02/09/2009 16:37

Tiger - just like you really. I did a BFP First response on the Tuesday and a Clearblue BFP on the Wednesday which said 1-2 weeks and then started bleeding on the Sunday night. PLEASE tell your Mum (if you have a nice one) because you need lots of extra love. I did.

Cheepz - OK so it's TTC#2, UCL 33, day 30 actually if I think about it. Thank you! Everyone seems great on here.

MrsRigby · 02/09/2009 16:41

tigerbear it's not over until it's over. Some women do have periods whilst pregnant and doctors don't know everything.

You got 2 positive results so your pregnant .

tigerbear · 02/09/2009 16:45

Thanks both of you - it helps to be able to talk to people on MN who are going through or have had the same thing happen to them. I will tell my Mum later -she is lovely - want a hug from her, but she is 3 hours away!
I saw my DH at lunch time, and although he will be sad if I'm not pg, he is being typically man like - 'Oh well, at least we know we can actually get pg - we can just start trying again' - he wasn't being nasty, just matter of fact in a man like way.

Cheepz · 02/09/2009 16:49

tiger my dh was exactly the same

little have added you as cycle 0 since i don't think you have had AF since MC if i recall from your first post so thats cycle 0 - (or cycle WTF is going on)

tigerbear · 02/09/2009 16:57

MrsRigby thanks for the positivity! We will see....
I can't believe I have to wait a week before testing again, but will try to hold out for at least 7 days, as don't want to be disappointed again if the pg hormones are still there, but am not actually pg. Does anyone know how long the hormones are in the system for, even if you have had a mc?

Cheepz · 02/09/2009 16:59

tiger not for too long if its early - i bled for 6 days and then it was over and the test they did on day 1 of the mc was very pale already

MrsRigby · 02/09/2009 19:45

Besides it's not easy to get a false positive. Your doctor is a quack.

From what I know false positives generally happen when you've tested too soon after a failed pregnancy or whilst taking injectable fertility drugs.

Don't give up yet.

MrsRigby · 02/09/2009 19:52

Welcome littleonemum

Also tigerbear it doesn't matter how far along you were, you have every right to feel sad, angry etc.

MrsRigby · 02/09/2009 20:00

Following a mc hCG (the pregnancy hormone) takes around 19 days to dissapear.

That said, this can vary based on how high the hCG is/was at the time of mc.

IF you have mc the hCG will probably have dissapeared in about a week, so your doctor was right telling you to test again in a week.

So if you still get a positive next week, congratulations mummy.

And in case anyone is wondering I work in a hospital, though as a secretary!!!

tigerbear · 02/09/2009 22:23

Thanks for the support everyone.
It's going to be very difficult waiting for a week!

Cheepz · 02/09/2009 22:30

tigerbear are you still bleeding (if not to personal a question? and how heavy? you could definitely have an idea from that - although I know some people bleed heavily in preganancy its unusual.

fingers crossed for you but i think its smart not to be too contemplate the worst. so tough. thinking of you

I'm off to bed, not that I know why - DS will wake up at midnight wanting milky.

Why do I want another???

tigerbear · 02/09/2009 23:12

Cheepz- yes, still bleeding (only started at about 6pm yesterday) - it's quite dark, almost black (sorry if TMI!) and quite light in flow. I have light cramps.

Cheepz · 02/09/2009 23:13

oh mrs r do you have a lousy sleeper too? mines 27 months and still either night waking or early riser - both of which are crap scenarios

bed for me too though, night all

'Morning!

Oh, bad sleepers... Mrs. R, your post made me laugh - exactly like my DS who also wakes at midnight with the cry of "Want Milky!" -at the grand old age of 2 in a few days.

Tiger I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. Sorry if TMI, but my bleeding was light for the first day or two and then proper period heavy after that. Hoping for you lots.

Cheepz · 03/09/2009 09:59

so many ladies at the top of the list with bid numbers for CD's - surely some news soon - surely?!

Morning - am warming up for bd - do we think day 11 too early?

MrsRigby · 03/09/2009 11:45

cheepz sperm can wait around for the egg for about 5 days.

So if you have sex tonight, you could still get pregnant .

tigerbear · 03/09/2009 13:04

LittleoneMum - thanks. The bleeding seems lighter today, and no cramps, so will have to wait and see.

tigerbear · 03/09/2009 13:39

Hmm, think I spoke to soon - the bleeding is back again!

LittleOneMum · 03/09/2009 15:01

Oh, Tiger .

My fingers are still crossed for you though. When we conceived DS, I bled lightly for a couple of days (which I thought was my AF) but then it stopped and I was still pregnant. Keep us posted.

But if it is a MC, then lots of hugs. It's these bloody sensitive tests, you know. If they didn't exist you'd be none the wiser about having been pg for a while...

Much love x
