Just MC'd .. Come and join us for the long haul (newbies always welcome!) - Vol 3

[LeeWT]

Hi all, old and new, this is the thread where all moaning, pieces of tmi, discussions and virtual cups of tea and biscuits come together to keep us sane .. or at the least insane together!

I'm on the TTC immediately post mc train too - except, no SWI, and no signs of cycle settling down But I like having little daydreams that instead of getting AF in a couple of weeks it'll be a BFP!! Plus my mate when we were at school got pregnant and claimed to have never had sex, so apparently it does happen

I'm also betting on the fact that last time I did everything by the book (no alcohol, folic acid for months beforehand, exercise, lots of green veg, the works) and this time I've got diarrhoea and have only been eating toast and M&S cupcakes - so surely sod's law dictates that I'll get a BFP?

Let's see what happens. Good luck to everyone at the top of the list!!

Thanks ZAYJA .

Thanks CHEEPZ hope everyone else is well.

I m off work as ? a chest infection and of course somewhat restricted as to taking ANY antibiotics!!!!!

Indulging in some crap daytime tv...Its enough to drive you back to work!!!!

Did more pg tests at work yesterday they are getting stronger and stronger.....BUT on the other hand no point analysing this!!!!

MrsR - what news sweets?

planned to have sex last night but fell asleep before dh came to bed - he was more interested in completing his tax return - guess thats how enthused he isnt at the moment

EWCM in overdrive and High again on monitor this morning so hoping that we can see some action tonight - but even if not Peak still to come so maybe just wait until that happens - after all if we get one in tonight and its peak tomorrow I have to try for 2 days in a row and that would never do!!

work is busy which is good for me as it keeps me occupied and am maintaining chilled out exterior

mrskurgan added to list
dirtgirl added you to the bottom so feel free to update your info
westyorks we need your info too
mrsr - what boods said

have separated the no stats folk at the bottom so we can drop to the bottom so we can move onto list once we have numbers - looks like the OCD is kicking in again I am even organising the list!

Hello

Sorry I wasn't around yesterday, found myself throwing up in the early hours of yesterday morning and then woke up barely able to move - every bone ached, especially the back. I spent the whole of yesterday lying on my back asleep. Apparentely it's called Norovirus. Personally I think it's what dying must feel like. I feel much better today, but still not 100%. DH had the same thing too, at the same time, but it didn't seem to affect him as bad???

So now I feel like a bad mother and wife. The 2 days I get with DS, I have been sick and unable to really pay him any attention and DH has had to do everything, ie play with him, feed him, change him, put him to bed, get up in the night, washing up.

Since DS started nursery, he just seems to keep bringing bugs home. Really getting fed up with it. Thank god for TV. In particulary Peppa Pig and In The Night Garden .

Anyway...

Welcome dirtgirl quite a few of us (including me) started TTC right after we stopped bleeding. There are no rules though, just what feels right for you. There are billions of doctors out there that would disagree with me and tell you to wait a month - yeh right, tell a woman who's just lost a baby to wait a month before trying to get pregnant again .

Welcome also thirdtimeluckypleasexx and congratulations on the BFP . A BFP is always welcome on this thread.

Welcome also thekurgan. cheepz thanks for taking over the list in my absence, nice to see someone else who is also a little OCD .

As you can all see I'm CD31 - 12 days past ovulation. Due to test tomorrow, but I already know what the answer will be. The way I see it, you can only have 1 miracle in a lifetime and DS was it. When AF decides to drop by, I'll have my GP refer me back to the gynaecologist for further treatment, probably Clomid.

I've been trying out Sod's Law/Murphy's Law, yesterday I couldn't eat and barely drank and today (DH is going to kill me for this) I brought a pack of Clearblue Digital Ovulation Sticks. It won't work though and come next month I'll be peeing on the things .

DH has so got his hopes up that I'm pregnant. Secretly (though not really as he reads this thread as you know) I really want him to be right, but there just isn't any hope.

Just waiting for Fertility Friend to show my temprature drop. 60% chance of pregnancy my arse.

Hi everyone

Welcome to TheKrugan and Lucy. Like everyone has said, I'm sorry you've had to join us but this is a fantastic and supportive group of ladies.

Lucy - I think it's quite common for the first AF to really bring things back. The grief has a horrible way of biting you on the bum but it does get better.

The Krugan - thinking of you today, hope your appointment goes well. If you've lost your sanity, you'll fit in here really well!

Redtabby - what a fantastic story. Just what I needed to hear - thank you.

Louisesh - warts, that's priceless! Am giggling away at the thought of you peeing away on a mountain of sticks! Bad luck about the chest infection - I had one earlier this month. Steam might help a bit but please rest up and don't hurry back to work. Mind you, I felt I would scream if I watched another "cash for gold" advert.

Meita - lovely to hear from you. Only 8 days to go - this waiting must be driving you mad. Hope you're not feeling too tired.

Liahgen - I don't know that to say. That sounds so hard. Hope you're bearing up and know what is happening soon. xxx

Cheepz - we will always remember your HPT dismantling exploits - those stories will come back to haunt you! Hope DH's tax return is filed and he has no excuse! Roll on that Peak.

Tigerbear - yes, can I have some of what you've been drinking. Very impressed by your chilled-out-ness.

Hopefully ? hope DP?s cold has improved. Sounds like he has pretty potent swimmers!

Jollster - don't overdo things. Carpal sounds painful. Great CBD story - sorry to laugh at your expense but it was the "you'd think I'd know how to do that" bit that got me!

Goodluckbear - I did everything by the book for months and nothing. Then had a Christmas binge and ate/drank all the wrong things and got a BFP. Typical!

Boodle - how are things? I'm trying to pluck up the courage to pop in on the grad thread but have that stupid thing about jinxing things (duhhhhhhhh). I?ll be 5 weeks tomorrow and desperately want a time machine.

Hope I haven?t missed anyone out. Really lovely to have so many new people joining - so if there are any more lurkers out there, jump in!

Oh MrsR - cross posts and just read yours.

Sorry you are feeling so lousy - when you're so run down things will seem dark. A virus like that will knock the stuffing out of you. There is lots of hope and I do feel sure you will get your BFP and soon. Hope you're feeling better soon. You're not a bad mother and wife - just a pretty poorly one who needs some TLC and then she'll be back firing on all cylinders.

Please, please don't be so harsh on yourself xxx

Poor you MrsR. Hope recovery is quick. I had something similar a couple of months ago and it was bloody awful.

CD18? Seriously? How did that happen? I'm 90% sure I haven't OV'd yet since MC, though feasibly I haven't noticed - my only warning of it usually is (sorry, TMI) one enormous bit of EWCM and that's it. DP managed to con me into more SWI by reminding me that my mother's staying this week so it was last chance till fri. And I thought I'd be trying to persuade him!

Will probably start frittering money on CBD tests in 10 days or so, despite lack of OV, unless AF decides to put in an appearance instead.

Cheeps well done on staying chilled with things so far!

jollster that's pants!

Fatlady and Cheepz - I'm only 'chilled out' in disguise!
Give it another 2 weeks and I'll be in the HPT aisle at Boots again!

Get well soon MrsR - I had the Norovirus once - 22nd February 2002 - burnt in my memory forever. The first 24hrs were the worst. Take care of yourself and do the drinking plenty of fluids stuff, eating dry toast (I'm sounding a bit like my mother now, but seeing as I'm hoping to have that job one day too, may as well try it out now)....hope you get to have some catch up time with DH and DS, sorry you're feeling so crap.

Maybe sod's law will work for both of us.

Hopefully - my pay packet came in today (there's a long gap at my work between Dec and Jan pay, as they pay prior to Christmas). I'm feeling flush. May spank it on CBD tests myself in a couple of weeks, despite weird post mc cycle - get in some practice peeing on sticks again.

xxxxxxxxxx

Thanks thefatladyscreams, hopefully and goodluckbear.

I can't believe how bad I was yesterday and how much better I feel today. From 1 extreme to another. Like I said before, still don't feel 100% so will take the day off work tomorrow (work Wednesday to Friday). Supposed to take 2 days off following the norovirus anyway apparentely. The boss is going to love that, this is the second Wednesday I've been off sick.

I'm now thinking of not testing tomorrow morning, I already know what the result will be - a BFN.

Instead, I'm going to instruct DH to pick up some coke and chocolate mousse from ASDA (only M&S and ASDA do vegetarian chocolate mousse).

Oh dear, starting to feel a bit sick again. I guess DH was right, we shouldn't have had haggis, neeps and tatties for dinner.

BFP

The line's faint, but definately there - DH can also see it.

I really thought it was going to be a BFN. I'm happy, but very worryied that I'm going to have another miscarriage because the line's quite faint. I wish it could be like when pregnant with DS and I was so happy without a care in the world and scared of nothing.

I actually feel sad, sick and scared - is this normal?

I don't want the baby inside of me thinking I don't want it, I do, I just don't want to lose him/her like I did his brother/sister.

This is stupid and insensitive to the rest of you, sorry.

It's not helping that DH won't let me tell anyone until we get a few more BFP. Even if I'm going to miscarry again, I need people to know, I need to acknowledge the baby is real and wanted.

Oh well, I guess no coke or chocolate mousse for me then. Somehow I think I'll be able to cope.

Can someone pinch me now?

And what is this - 7 BFP in January? Surely a record (and don't call me surely).

I guess there's some grain of truth to the post miscarriage increased fertility.

I have PCOS and conceived in 2 months of trying.

Good luck everyone else, I've got my fingers crossed for you.

[walks out the room whispering please stick, please stick, please stick.]

I just took another test and the line is even darker.

I just keep sitting here looking at the sticks.

MrsR!!!!! WOW!!!!!!
That's awesome! Congrats!

MrsR - go and buy a digi test so you can see the words come up!

Where IS everyone??? Over here you lot - MrsR is up the duff!

That is fantastic news MrsRigsby! Fingers crossed for a smooth pregnancy.
Gynae yesterday said that she didn't think my two chemical pregnancies indicate a problem and that she saw no reason why I shouldn't have as many children as I wanted, so I just need to calm down and relax. In fact she said to have had the number of pregnancies I have had in such a short time is remarkable at my age (a haggard old crone of 32). She said that she could arrange tests for that anti-phospho clotting thingy and for chromosomal disorders but if she were me she wouldn't bother. I decided to bother.
My husband was very reassured by this but I am finding it harder to be - I've never had a successful pregnancy and it's hard to believe that it going wrong three times could be down to nothing more than bad luck. She's the expert though!

I know tigerbear I'm sitting here with the laptop and refreshing it every other second .

I wasn't going to buy a digital test, but think I will now. I think your right, I need to see the words. And besides, DH is allowing me to buy more pregnancy tests .

I just want him to tell me, oh go on then, txt everyone we know.

I can't keep secrets and definitely not one this big.

I'M PREGNANT.

Oh, was I shouting .

Okay, okay - I'll try and calm down now.

Thanks thekurgan.

ooooh MrsRigby that's fantastic news! I thought this was going to be a crappy day, now instead I'm sitting here with a big grin on my face!

I totally know what you mean about wanting to tell everyone. I for one only waited a week before telling family. It does help to make it feel real. Still, I did need to wait a week. I needed that time to learn to believe it myself!

We're going to have to start a wider collection of sticky thoughts. My own sticky thoughts are starting to be spread quite thinly!

Yes, it is normal to feel scared. It would be strange not to. And to feel sick, well I suppose that goes with the territory! Now about feeling sad, that is perhaps the oddest bit... but I can assure you that you're not the only one. There's at least two of us oddballs.

Please stick around with all the other new BFPs! It appears to be infectious

Thanks meita, I'm not going anywhere - you don't get rid of me that easy.
