Just MC'd. Starting it all again.. Come and join me for the long haul, vol 2

[thefatladyscreams]

Hardly the most original title but I didn't want to loose anyone (well that's my excuse for the lack of originality!)

Hello all,

Oh MrsRigby, I'm so sorry. Again, no words can make it better, but we are all here to listen if you need to rant.

Cheepz, also thinking of you. What an awful thing to happen. Your poor Aunt.

Oh dear, nothing happy to add unfortunately. No BDing has been happening in this house! Think we've missed the boat for this month - pah!

Hi all

Sorry I've not posted for a while, been busy and all!!??

Hi tigerbear nice to meet you, don't think I've met you yet
Jollster could be implantation bleed, fingers x'ed!!
Hello Tetley welcome to the thread!

MrsR Really really sorry to read your news I hope your OK, I know nothing can make you feel better right now but like people have said you can always rant and rave on here!!

Hope everyone else on here is getting on alright I've skim read all the messages and sending postitive thoughts!
I've been BD'ing as regularly as poss doesn't help me and DH had our first row in ages and went to bed without speaking last night Better make up before tonight eh
Right better go at work and all oops!
Speak soon

Hi everyone,

Not been online much as we still don't have a landline, and the mobile internet stick is £35 for 15 hours!! Dh needs to use most of this time for work, so surfing is a bit out.

MrsR, sorry to hear your news.. really is quite crap.

The Dementor MIL has stopped washing, so I had to "help" her have a shower this morning, and took everything out of her room to wash. She should be in a HOME. It is coming to that point, because I don't want to do this.

After washing the MIL, went to local village and bought preg test. 7.80 Euros! For one!! Just as well I got a BFP first time, because that is expensive.

So., after Boodles and MrsR's experiences of 2nd miscarriages, I am not terribly excited. But, I mean, I am 40, so at least everything is working..

No, we haven't met yet (waves at Cake).
Good luck with the BDing tonight everyone!

Apples - BFP!!! Can we be excited for you??

apples
we will keep the faith for you. much love

apples...

that is a brilliant bit of news....

Congratulations applesaretheonlyfruit . Hopefully I won't be far behind you .

Anyone know how long I'm going to be bleeding for? DH and I would like to start TTC ASAP and afterall it would be a shame to waste shaven legs (me not him).

Apples - what great news, so chuffed! Just like my name I will be crossing fingers and everything else for you (can't BD for ages anyway as WTTC so no need for legs open yet ;)).

Mrs R After my mc I only bled for around 4 more days following the major loss and I am sure I ovulated around 7 days after that (although personally not ready then ttc) so keep looking for those signs. Good luck!!

Wouldn't it be great to have more BFPs espec around Xmas - a little pressie for our thread! KBO (keep buggering on) girls (as Churchill said) then again the "B" part is not going to make any babies!!! ;)

Oh my goodness, much news to digest.

So sorry MrsRigby, that's terribly tough. Ref bleeding my only experience was after an ERPC, and that was over in 3 or 4 days. Good luck on the smooth-legged TTC .

cheepz, how tragic, am sure your family are in shock.

apples - BFP - my favourite 3 letters ; congratulations!

Sadly I am back at the beginning again... what I hoped was an implantation bleed turned into my period... started spotting on day 18... spotted for 5 days then heavy bleeding ... so a VERY early period.. BOO. So what do you call a Chemical Pregnancy even before a BFP... ??!! If that's what it was of course... but have never had spotting like that or so early.

So never mind. Let's go round again. My favourite character was Zebedee... although I did have a Dougal pillow case for many years....

Hi MRS R i bled for about 7 days on and off after my ERPC.When i had medical management last year i bled intermittenly for 2.5 weeks.

Congrats APPLES soo you re 40 and BFP yeh!!! Im 39 in 1 week soo that gives me hope.

Not up to much this weekend totally skint to payday on Friday and last week at work before Bruges YEH1!!!!

You re welcome TETLEY no probs happy to pass on my , unfortune, sad experiences.

Off to watch "i m a celebrity" and drink more wine to celebrate the end of the working week!!!! YEH

Hi Ladies,
Mrs. R, so sad and sorry to hear your news. We were missing you around here but didn't want to see you back under these circumstances. Hoping your recovery and TTC are quick and successful.

Cheepz, also sad to hear your news. Hope that your aunt will have lots of family support.

Congrats apples, that's FANTASTIC news! Yea, yea, yea! 'Bout time we had another BFP

I'm holding out 'til Thanksgiving morning this Thurs. to POAS. Sure would have lots to be thankful for with BFP. I've been a bit nauseous, but it's kind of early for that to be a symptom I guess. I also feel crampy like PMS, so I guess only time and POAS will tell...

cheepz - so sad....that happened to my dads best friends daughter's boyfriend. She woke up and he had just dies in his sleep....wishing your family love and peace.

well...BD'd again last night. def think i felt the egg burst through on thurs tho and think the sharp pain was more centred on right side which would be good as still have right tube . will bd tom night as well as DH is going for curry tonight and i can't bear the smell of second hand curry.....bleurgh....

feeling quite crampy and periody painy down below today which is usual for me after ovulation.

mrsR - how are you holding up emotionally hun.....its such a rotten feeling those first few days post MC....doesn't even really feel real does it.....sending you love and hugs. On a totally selfish note it is really good to have to back to go through the TTC with again...we've done it once my dear and we SHALL do it again....

come on zayja.....another BFP this month would be stellar wouldn't it????

Oh cheepz that is so terribly sad. Love to your family - it must be hard enough when someone dies without the sense of shock and disbelief at someone so young in those circumstances.

apples - blimey! A huge congratulations to you my dear - who says patience doesn't pay off!!! Maybe your epic wait was just a sign that your body was getting itself perfectly ready before letting you conceive again. Do you know much about the French maternity service??

Hope you're feeling better fingers? That sounds quite an experience - your acupuncturist won't forget you in a hurry! I can imagine it was quite scary at the time.

Tetley - are you due back at the hosptial this week to retest your levels? I'm sure they have to spell out all possible consequences to cover themselves.

I'm with you zayja on holding out against the POAS madness. Day 26 here. Used to have a 28 day cycle but the last one was 31 days so I've set myself a limit of not testing before Sunday - always assuming that AF hasn't made an appearance beforethen. We can do it - honest!

Meita - where are you? We're missing you! Hope things are good with you.

Watching "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" on TLC - Unbelieveable!

Wow folks such a lot of news hard to keep up! I've been moving house and am without broadband til the 28th but have popped in on my iPhone to see how you're all doing.

apples good job!!! Congrats and how well deserved after your long wait! Delighted for u!

mrsR darlin what can I say I know only too well the horror of losing two so close together.. Both of mine were mmc's makes it bit harder I think because you are so unaware.. Hope you're doing ok and I think it's lovely to remember the baby in the way you are doing..

cheepz what an awful tragedy so sorry to hear that..

I experienced quite an awful thing myself last wkend when i attended the funeral of a beautiful five year old little girl (ruby, my best friends sister). She was diagnosed with swine flu when she had in fact gotten meningitis by the time they realised their mistake it was too late and the poor little thing had no brain function. It's been on the news a lot in Ireland but please bear it in mind those of you with children. That tragedy has really put things in perspective for me an am trying to appreciate what I have irrespective of whether I ever manage to have another child.

Speaking of which I think I might be ready to Rey again soon but have unfortunately put on ten lbs I could I'll afford so am going to try and lose that and then maybe try after Xmas hope to be on the ttc list soon :-)

well think that's all, hi to the newcomers and hello again to everyone else xxx

Congratulations apples! That's great news

TFLS Got appointment at hospital tomorrow lunchtime for another scan and hcg test. Feeling a bit more chilled out now so even if my level's still highish I'm hopefully not going to be talked into an ERPC...We'll see!

It's odd, this feeling of hanging around waiting for time to pass, was so used to the whole build up to ov and then 2ww. Thank god they haven't invented any sticks i can PO cos i would be just to pass the time !

Really tragic story LeeWT... It must have been an absolutely heartbreaking funeral. I have to say I'm not a great worrier about dd, but meningitis really scares me to bits.

ha tetley another POAS addict....how wonderful....i hope you don't have to have an ERPC altho i must say when i had one in apr i recovered really quickly...

lee, hello hunny, i saw the FB stuff but didn't like to ask....gutted for her family, that is so awful. I'll pray for them

on the topic of swine flu, who of you are going to have the jab? i have been thinking yes as the last thing i want is to get PG then miscarry due to swine flu....your thoughts?

also in another vein, what do you lot reckon about caffeine? if yes, how much do you personally think is ok....if not why not?

i am officially on a 2ww wait now and it feels GOOOOOOOOOD.

Oh boodle - yipeeee you're back in the 2ww madness club! Will remind you of your words in due course

I'm not a huge consumer of caffeine so I usually fall below the recommended amount you're allowed in pregnancy anyway. I struggle with the alcohol one though - as I get fed up with putting my life in hold in the hope of a BFP but at the same time don't want to do anything to jeopardise an unknown pregnancy [anguished but fed up face]

When I was pregnant swine flu had just broken out and they had it as SS's school. I was massively paranoid at the time but much more chilled now. I'm taking a cross that bridge if I get a BFP approach but I do have reservations about how much is known on the impact of the vaccine on pregnant women.

tetley - hope it all goes well tomorrow. I'm sure your hcg levels will have dropped but if they do suggest an ERPC you can always say you want to think it through for a couple of days.

LeeWT lovely to hear from you. Roll on 28th! That must have been a dreadfully tragic funeral - always so much worse when it is someone young, let alone a child.

Hi all

Tetley good luck tomorrow, glad you are feeling more chilled. I really feel like I finally turned a corner today getting a BFN but it took almost 3 weeks (sorry can't remember your time line) following a natural loss. Never thought I could be so happy for having a BFN!! So onwards and upwards waiting for AF now....

LeeWT so sorry to hear about yhour tragic news, you're right about being grateful for what we have.

On the subject of swine flu, I was also very sceptical re the effect on the foetus and, when previously pg didn't want it. However, my BIL is a Doc and has seen 2 pg women in intensive care being ventilated - they have managed to deliver the babies but the women sadly died. Given I have asthma too I have now decided that the benefits outweigh the risks in light of those tragic stories (of course hoping for a BFP first though!!).

As for caffeine, I do love a cuppa too! With my ds I didnt know I was pg for 5 weeks and had LOADS of red wine on hols in Italy for 5 days in a row plus strong coffees - no ill effects on DS. Needlees to say I was v worried though. I then cut out all caffeine til the 3rd trimester when I had weak tea and the odd glass of wine. With the last pg I was like a saint, virtually no caffeine at all since ov, and no alcohol at all - then I mc'd!

Despite this and my love of both, I think I will try my best to stop both from ov when I restart TTC just to be on the safe side. If I manage to get to 12 weeks I think I will take the same approach as last time, in moderation etc.. Apparently the best decaf coffee you can have when pg is the Taylors of Harrogate one where the caffeine is extracted with water not chemicals (I promise I am not on commission!!) ;)

Evening everyone, just updating the stats.
