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

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
Just popping in to say a happy new year and many sticky beans for 2010

Happy New Year Everyone !

I am feeling much more laid back today. My temperature has finally gone up which reassured me that I did indeed ovulate during the past couple of days which coincided with ewcm. I've pretty much done all that I can now so it's just a waiting game. I quite fancied a glass of wine but feel guilty. I don't understand the effects of wine on conception enough to take the risk. Any advice will be gratefully received... SB

hi all.. am getting quite worried about Mrs R as she is MIA.. give us a sign!!

boodle in response to your question, we are not actively trying but ahem we are in the same situation as last month in that we werent supposed to be trying but there have been two drunken rumbles in the jungle which are in and around my ovulation time so I'm back on the 2ww again haha. it's terrible tho as delighted as i'd be to get preg, i seriously need to lose weight or i'll be a blimp. have gone from size 16 to 18 over the last 6 months. far too much comfort eating

samantha dont think i welcomed you yet.. i dont have any answers about your questions re ovulation and temps etc, meita would be your woman.. but best of luck

just posted it again as mine was out a day....HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL...

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year, and lots of BFP for us in 2010!

Hiya lovelies

Happy New Year from me. Had a lovely time away with my best friends in the Lakes, but sadly it looks like AF is about to get me. Am gutted, as technically this is the first time I've actively TTC and it NOT worked, having fell pg at the first attempt with the two babies I lost.

Such a strange feeling as I was convinced we'd done everything right again, but DP is being super positive and says this month will be our month... Guess we'll see, although am already thinking about buying ovulation predictors for this month.

Anyway, hope you're all well and much love and luck to all. xx

OH.......MY.......GGGOOOOOODDDD.

four separate internet cheapies....four seperate pink lines, all faint, but all visible from reading distance within the time limit......

you don't really think i am actually preggo do you? AF is not even due until wed....

i cannot even dare to believe that this may end up in a baby.....

Happy new year my dears.

Lots to catch up on. Have been screaming at the screen MrsR - we will have to set up a Pregnancy Test Anonymous addicts club! Did you see Gavin and Stacey the other day with her shoe box of pregnancy tests? All part of the national conspiracy for everyone on TV to get pregnant at the moment.

Sorry to hear about the AFs where they've arrived. And a prize for lousy timing to tigger and christmas day!

But what fantastic news from Cake - so pleased for you! I'm just hoping it was the cake and fine wine that did the trick -in which case I should be up the duff immediately given the amount I have consumed recently! Hope you're doing well my dear and congratulations.

Samantha - like you, I had given this ttc business no thought at all til after my m/c. Are you using a basal body thermometer and how are you taking your temperature? I used an ear one originally and it was useless.

I got quite low before New Year as my acupuncturist suggested I should get my FSH levels tested as she's worried they might be too high, indicating a problem with ovarian reserves/quality. I've got High readings very early and prolonged on my CBFM for the last two cycles. I went off googling and of course convinced myself that it must be game over. It can be quite depressing ttc at 41. Also managed a leak in the attic which has come through the ceiling on New Year's eve and found two lumps on my beloved dog (waiting for results next week). So was glad when New Year's eve was out of the way - far too poignant for me at the moment. Don't want to reflect!

Anyway, sorry for the rant. Two more days left to stuff my face with all the left over Christmas goodies and wine before the diet begins on Monday . My aim is to lose a stone before the end of January!

Blimey boodle - crossed posts. Wow - here's hoping! Get thee to a Clearblue digitial asap!

Wish I lived near by as I could pop in with one!!!!

Have my fingers, toes and whole body crossed for you!

i think i am shock....but i swore to DH that i wouldn't buy another one of those CB until i was actually late so thats thursday....will have to stick with the cheapies until then {i have 15 left}

watch this space - altho there will not really be any celebrating for me as will be too busy BRICKING IT....i don't believe its true anyhow.

sorry to hear AF on way for you viv and tfls i am with you on the needing to lose christmas podge. i kid you not the dress i bought on the 15th of december for NYE did NOT BLOODY FIT when i went to put it on leaving me 20 mins to find something else to wear.....aarrrgggh.

Roll on Thursday boodle!

TFLS stares into her tea leaves and has a sneaky suspicion that boodle is pregnant!

tfls....just reread that bit in your post about your dog....i am sooo sorry to hear that....here's hoping its nothing. we have three cats and the thought that anything ever would be wrong with them fills me with terror.....

Hello can i join, i have no idea what CD iam on, i was on august 2010 baby thread but miscarried 23rd dec and it was confirmed new years eve. Going to start trying again in a relaxed way and see what happens.
TTC#2 UCL 28 Cycle 1 CD ?
Thanks

A late happy new year to you all!

Welcome Poppy, what miserable timing for a MC. Not that they're any good at the best of times. I hope the new year will bring you more joy. I'd been watching the August 2010 thread as I'm due then too (fingers crossed) but am too worried and superstitious to actually join it. Anyway, this is a great place to come for support after a MC and through the whole process of TTC after an MC. Lovely ladies here, all of them

waves to everyone... sorry I've been so quiet, though I've been reading everything I never quite felt up to posting. There's so much been happening, it's impossible to do everyone justice...
Big cheers to Cake! If you're too worried to join a "bus" you could come over to www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/812791-Totally-39-s-GRADS-lets-handhold-thru-this - our very own grads thread. It's been a bit quiet overall but with a few of us recent graduates it might liven up.
boodle that sure sounds promising. Yay! Just please, don't get yourself into too much of a state quite yet... It's just that I'm remembering your last cycle... let it be a positive surprise this time, ok?
TFLS awww sorry to hear about your dog. And about your hormonal difficulties. Have you considered trying herbal remedies?
Sam I think I remember to have read somewhere that if you share a bottle of wine a week between yourself and your partner, that would reduce your chances of conceiving by about 20%... so if we take "standard" chances to be 20% per cycle, the alcohol would reduce them to 16% per cycle. ON THE OTHER HAND, in the first ca. two weeks after conception - i.e. in the 2ww - the embryo is protected from the alcohol as it is not yet connected to your bloodstream. AND THEN AGAIN, physician's associations cannot rule out a negative effect of alcohol at any point and thus ideally recommend to not have any from the point of conception onward. AND YET, my mum's midwife recommended her to have a glass of red wine regularly, and I turned out quite all right . At the end of the day, I'd do what feels right - don't get all over-anxious, but perhaps do limit yourself to reasonable amounts? I for one definitely had alcohol in the 2ww and it worked out for me - so far, anyway.
Also, wanted to say that I for one found AF arriving at the end of my WTF cycle a huge blow. I'd put so much hope and expectations into it, it felt like the MC was happening all over again - or, that it had now effectively become real. I think it just really drives it home that you are back to TTC. The pain of an MC can come back to haunt you at strange moments - allow yourself the grief.

Lots of hugs to all who had AF visit. Somehow I thought that if even I got pregnant, everybody else on the list would surely follow suit in a matter of days. It's sad that the world doesn't work that way! My fingers are crossed for you all more than ever.

As to myself, well, Christmas time was quite hectic and stressfull. We spent five days with the OOLs and five days with my family - the latter was just about enough time to recover from the former... I stopped counting how many times I was told to not worry so much, and that people had had healthy babies before it was known that this or that could be harmful (yeah, but somehow there now are MORE healthy babies than earlier. I wonder why?)
Typically, I started feeling sick on Christmas Eve and this has since been a steady companion - I've lost all appetite and thus haven't gained any weight at all although wonderful food was served all the time. But hey, I am not complaining. I've relaxed a bit into thinking "what will be, will be". I have a scan a month today, so there's the next 4ww for me . I've started worrying about what life will be like with a baby - will we manage? Am I mature enough? What will happen to my social life? Was this really a good idea?? - I guess that must be a good sign !

Anyway, that's me signing off again for today - I'll keep up with you all, of course, but probably won't be posting very much (making it up with looooong posts instead, it seems - sorry for that!)

actually i am really calm about the whole thing.....and that is now five +ve tests...

que sera and all that

Thanks boodle

Wow, just catching up with all the posts...

Boo You have had how many BFP's now? Of course you are pregnant, congratulations (misting up here a bit), I can't tell you how delighted I am for you! Good idea to keep your feet on the ground, but it's ok to jump up and down a bit too. Five false positives are not likely, you are pregnant!

TFLS I have been taking my temp in my mouth with the digital thermometer that we have in the medicine box. Very technical I know. My temp has gone up now and stayed up - I ovulated on day 16 which is the same as last month. So far the mc doesn't seem to have affected my cycle at all. I don't think that the thermometer is very good or accurate though - if I take my temp consecutively - say three times, the last reading is always higher in spite of the fact that I've barely moved a muscle . If I don't conceive in the next couple of months I will buy a proper one! It sounds like you are having a lousy time, I hope your poor dog is ok and that 2010 is very much better for you .

PoppyIsApain I'm really sorry Christams was so sad for you. You are definatly in the right place. Since I mc'd last month I have met lovely people who really understand and who have been really supportive. Good luck ttc this month - my only advice (and I am a bit of a novice) is not to supress your sadness - I put all my hopes into conceiving again straight away. Through this cycle I have been really up and down, sometimes deleriously happy and others just crying in random places for no particular reason. Be kind to yourself .

Meita You are the font of all knowledge! Thank you for your advice...part of me feels that I should carry on as normal while ttc because it has the danger of taking over my everyday life, hence wanting to sit down at the end of the day with a glass of wine. After last month I feel a bit silly 'acting pregnant' when I am not. Of course in reality, when I had the glass of wine I felt stabs of guilt with every sip for the damage I might be doing to my poor barely conceived baby. I'll just give it a miss from now on, it wasn't even enjoyable .

I think that the lists might have got a bit muddled, I was down as being the same CD yesterday as the day before. I'm having a go at straighening it out but if your details are wrong I'm sorry...

Hope that this is right...SB

we are back in uk
pretty sure not pg, no indication at all and feels like a normal month this month so no hype here

boodles yay, heres hoping and so much love to you - although feels abit crap as now you will have been pg twice since my mc in summer sometimes wonder if it will happen for us .... know you wont mind me saying

meita good to hear alls well

am also worried for mrsr

happy new year to all...

oh shit. CB digi says PREGNANT 1-2 WEEKS......[lee, you were so right....like i could wait til thurs to test...}

oh.......my.........goodness.......

ah crossed posts cheepz....course i don't mind you saying, would be cross if you didn't feel you could....it really is crap for you that you aren't pregnant yet but you aren't out this month so don't give up yet...if its any help i have felt less 'pregant' this month than i did last month when i was convinced i was pregnant....

... don't worry tho, you can't be less excited for me than i am....or DH....the thought of going through the early blood work and vaginal scan again is almost too horrible to comtemplate....the waiting for the results and scan to confirm bean is viable will be like torture....

I feel grotty today. I'm soldiering on but just feel yukky. I'm desperately tired, grouchy and mildly queasy. Far too early for a symptom so I must be unwell. Backtoworkitis maybe ! When is the next school holiday???

Just saw your post boo - of course you are pregnant! Congratulations, fx for a good sticky bean (or two!)... SB

Oy boodle! hopsaroundincircleslaughingmadly That's such good news! You've put a big smile on my face!
What a way to start a new year!

And a new year it is. New year and new bean. I'm totally with you there about being worried and upset about the scanning procedures awaiting you. It's so not what you want to be feeling when you discover you're pregnant. But I guess that is our lot and it is a small price to pay, in the big picture. With your history, I suppose they will want to see you as soon as possible to rule out another ectopic? You must, must, must keep us all closely updated. My fingers are soooooo crossed for you, I don't know how I'm managing to keep typing!

Hey, so you're not too excited yet... and of course, there is still a real danger that things will go all wrong again. And yet, your chances of having a baby next September have just risen from around 20% (or even less, due to your one-tube-situation) to probably around 70%... That's good enough for me to be excited for you! Heeheehee ;)

Lots of "stickyintherightplacevibes" over your way!
