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!

sorry tfls, not really a cheer up gang are we. Have a lovely evening, tomorrow's another day and all that.

Tigerbear stop hogging the truffles

Fatlady - it's the second baby scan picture I've seen this month! Other one was sent by a friend of mine. I'm Hoping the next scan I ever see will be my own!!

Unbuffy, tigerbear loves truffles!
I've got some lovely Ginger biscuits here too!

hello - can I join you all?

mmc at 11 wks, found out 2 days ago after a bleed (had to pay for a scan as NHS could only book me for next available, days later, and I was sure something was badly wrong) -- 2 days of battling to get an appointment for ERPC because I was petrified of what was to come, thankfully I got booked in first thing today (again privately - I sure know I'm not pregnant now, my health insurance paid ) and so glad I did as it all started this morning and 3 hours of it was more than enough. sorry, TMI, should maybe be posting on miscarriage thread...

But incredibly kind consultant was wonderfully optimistic about our chances of trying again, and I feel so much better, though oddly empty, now the physical pain's gone, so I came home much more upbeat and ordered lots of opks and pg tests and pre-seed to get started when we can (access diagnostics, unbuffy -- they have v cheap CB digi ones too at the moment - I managed to read back as far as your query on these)

I guess it's going to hit me like a ton of bricks very soon, but I want to try to stay as positive as I can at the same time, the clock's ticking... Liaghen I was with you on the over 40s thread (have since name changed) and read your story on August thread (where I was lurking - I'm really not a stalker, was due in August too) and was so, so sad for you at the time. I've now been through a very similar thing, though this is my first mc, I can't imagine how it feels when you have more. I do hope some happiness can crowd out the pain for you soon. I guess this process is going to be a rollercoaster, one minute good, the next in tears or just feeling thuddingly empty...

Thankfully our cheeky toddler has been keeping us going when it all gets too much... and I'm on the up part of the rollercoaster this evening...

Sorry, long splurge of a post, but you all sounded so kind and understanding

Welcome Alba, we have chocolate. So sorry to hear about your m/c. I'm fairly new to this but everybody seems really nice and increadibly supportive and tigerbear has ginger biscuits too if she's sharing. Will try your suggestion re tests. It's not always this unhappy here, but there's always someone willing to listen. I'll let one of the proper folks welcome you properly though .

I do hope everybody feels better soon (including me!). night night, I'll leave the box x

sarah so sorry for you too. And sadly Welcome alba too, sorry you have found yourself here too. I'm not sure if you have had erpc or natural but whichever it is, I wish you a speedy physical recovery.

Toddlers and children in general do keep us going thank goodness.

4 yr dd today on listening to radio in car earlier today

dd - This is Michael Jackson, G, (ds) has got Michael Jackson in his room and on the computer. He's dead you know

dd's friend - I know, do you know why he died, he took too much medicine

dd - Yes, the doctor gave it to him, he was very sad. Michael Jackson is hannah montanna dad.

bless em. You hear the best conversations when they don't know you are listening.

Ok. I have minstrels, anyone like one, please help yourself, family pack you know.

Dh has to go into work tomorrow so my friend and I are gonna go to local play area/farm if it's as nice as it was today.

Hello ladies - its so sad that there are so many of us on this thread..

Just an update - went for the second session of acupuncture yesterday, and consulted the acupuncturist about whther to TTC this cycle or next. He said no reason to wait
Feeling emotionally stronger now after the most recent MC in December.

At the moment on WTF CD 10, so we will be busy this weekend

yey, go clover enjoy

Oh my gosh, I've missed so much, I know I'm going to leave someone out so let me start by giving everyone some hugs, chocs and wine!

liahgen sweetheart you seem so down and it upsets me reading it because I've been there, twice, and am petrified of being there again and i know so deeply how you feel! you are completely entitled to feel pissed off and I agree with viv on that thing that if its harder to not ttc than ttc and take the risk, then that's the thing to do but it doesnt mean it wont be hard along the way.

tigerbear you'll set me off about nanna but i know what you mean, i can actually cry at the drop of a hat at the minute.. you poor thing

alba sorry you've had to find us but you are more than welcome and the ladies here will keep you right!

tfls and everyone elose having a bad time, so sorry and so glad everyone can come here for a good old moan.

My turn? oh ok! My boobs ache and DH has been trying to acost me during the night during the last few nights as he hasnt been, ahem, serviced for a couple of weeks between my nanna being ill and me feeling awful/exhausted and then the funeral bla bla bla. anyway i got through it but i would have rather watched snooker
Have to go back to work on monday - have been off since the tues before last - and dont know if i can face it between being weepy for nanna and hormonal from babs.

Re people producing scans, i also found that very hard because its not that you want it to happen to them, but you just keenly feel your own loss so much when you see them. Though Meita put her scan on her profile and let me tell you, that was one scan I was DELIGHTED to see

sorry for everyone i forgot and thank you for all your sympathy and understanding about Nanna. It really helped xxx

lee nice to see you. Am glad youmanaged to get through your nans day. Don't worry about her, she'll look after you and the lo.

Thanks for the thoughts, its just so good to have somewhere to come where people understand, I was tryingto explain it to dh last night but he doesn't really get the whole MN thing.

ok am confused now

Started bleeding this morning, looks just like a period. What to do? Go back to CD1?

Am gonna see if it lasts more than today, if it does i'll start again tomorrow from cd1. If it lasts a couple hours i'll stick to my normal place.

Has anyone else had this? Had erpc last Thursday 28th but all bleeding had stopped by Monday completely.

Aggghh, this is gonna bugger up my progesterone test.

have niceday ladies.

Morning!

Sorry, no advice Liahgen, but I wouldn't think it's anything to worry about. I'd leave your CD where it is for now. Re your progesterone test, can you phone doc/hosp and let them know and see what they say?

In the spirit of continuity, thought I'd let you know that there was yet another BFN this morning. No testing till Monday now, as we're away for the weekend, but I think you can all fill in the blank tomorrow . AF officially late though.

thank you for kind welcomes, and chocolate offers! I forgot, I should really hand round the s on joining new thread!

I had an almost completely sleepless night, and I feel dizzy if I stand up for more than 5 mins, but I gather that's just after effect of anaesthesia.

I have been checking through the leaflets I got on leaving hospital though. Liaghen in answer to your question, I did have an ERPC (hugely relieved as it put a stop to the pain). I was advised to get in touch with the hospital if I bled for more than a week, or if it got heavier than tail end of period. Sorry that's probably not what you want to hear, but might be better to give them a call to be sure all is ok. Fingers crossed for you that it is. Love the kids in the car conversation!

liahgen i had the exact same thing happen after my last erpc tho it was about 9 days after and there was quite a lot. i was away for the weekend or i would have gone to the hospital. in the end it was like a very very very light period for two days after the initial bleed. both times after mc, my period has taken 6 weeks to return. hope that helps..

hopefully as someone else said recently i got bfns for FIVE days after af due and as my sore sore sore boobs can atest, I am definately preggers!

cheepz how you doing hon.

and what boodle said.. wheres mrsR ?

liahgen after my 1sr erpc i barelybled at all, but after my 2nd i had really random bleeds. if you are in anyway concerned please contact the hospital.

so, im on day 20 of a 30 day cycle. not 100% sure when (or even if i ov'd) but i think it was either day 14 or 18 ish. today have had a bit of blood stained ewcm.

wtf is going on? never normally get any type of spotting mid cycle. could it be implation or is it to quick to be that?

hope everyone else is doing ok today

hi im probably panicking but for the first day in two weeks my boobs havent been excruciatingly sore.. i can actually poke them.

with my first mmc, this was definately the time that things went wrong. with my second mmc we dont know what happened as i was still very sick and hcg levels very high despite things going wrong and they couldnt figure out when it went wrong.

Im just so afraid that this is it going wrong again.. my scans not til Thursday.

Please does anyone know if im still supposed to have sore boobs?

sorry for panicking x

(posted this in grads too to try and get as much advice as poss)

lee how far along are you? alot of people say there symptoms seem to come and go. please try and relax a bit. stress really will not help.

any chance of bringing the scan forward?

fingers crossed for you. x

Good lordy it has been a veritable chocolate, wine and misery fest I missed loads and all the chocs!!! I bet all that's left are Turkish delights and orange creams. (barrenbrook eats them anyway). Damn bloody night duty. I hope you are all feeling a little brighter today girlies..... Cheers for the Ferrero Rocher Cheepz.

Liah After my ERPC I bled for about two weeks, then it stopped then started again about a week or so later (as far as I can remember) for a few days but very light which I assumed was my period. I did go to the Dr's about the bleed afterwards as the EPAU told me I would only bleed for a few days so after a week I became a little concerned but they reassured me it was completely normal...

Just It could be an implantation (fingers crossed) I'm guessing if you Ov'd on day 14 then it would be around the right time, if it was day 18 I think maybe it's too early. I never had spotting up until a few months ago and for three months in a row I had it for a day or two a week before my period was due. I suggest if it doesn't end up being implantation it may be worth speaking to your Dr, anything out of the ordinary should be checked (which is partially why I'm off to the Docs on Monday)

alba welcome , sorry you are here, the lovely ladies here are a veritable font of knowledge and support. I have added you to the pending stats list which can be updated whenever you feel ready. Hope you are feeling ok.

Have a good weekend

Hi Girls,

Hope your all keeping well.

Survived the ERPC yesterday and feel surprisingly ok today although I've done very little since I came home from hospital. I was very tearful once the gown went on, I think it hit me then!

I bled a little yesterday however today I'm only spotting, I thought this would be far worse..is this normal? very little pain to.

Do I count yesterday as CD1? or should I wait for my first normal period?

Any advice greatly appreciated. x

Littlemiss well done on surviving the ERPC. Take care of yourself.

Lee when I was pregnant with DS my symptoms came and went on a practically daily basis, and sometimes I went a week or more with not a symptom to be seen. Completely random. I'm sure everything's fine, but is there any chance of pressuring for a scan earlier?

Am enjoying the opportunity to drink a glass (or two) or wine, although am being a bit sensible just on the very very slim chance that I turn out to be pregnant. Five days of BFNs aren't enough to put me off! I may have to accept defeat if AF actually turns up, but until then, I'm in denial.

Not a lot of bleeding at all for me, cleared up totally after about 3 days. But spoil yourself a bit - aenesthetic (sp?) is not nice stuff and you might feel a bit rough. First day I was fine, 2nd I was not. But it gets better. x

littlemiss Glad to hear you got through it OK, I was the same as Unbuffy, felt fine 1st day, 2nd day bad, so bad that I cried as I just didn't know what to do with myself to make me feel better. Give yourself a little TLC over the next few days. The bleeding now is from the ERPC, you will eventually get a period but you may have to wait a bit, so if you do count yesterday as CD1 then don't stress too much if this cycle is a bit crazy compared to your others.

Hopefully There's always hope! Enjoy the vino though, wish I could have a glass or two but I've got to go to work
