Just MC...Long haul, short haul, ranting, weeping, laughing all encouraged. Oldies and newbies very welcome

[liahgen66]

Ok, feel a bit scared actually starting the new thread but here we are, for however long (or short) our time here may be.

Off you go ladies. Welcome () one and all.

goodluckbear, I think exercise is ok when pregnant, but you shouldn't necessarily take up a new exercise at that time.

Perhaps its something in the air - I also started running again yesterday - I put on weight over christmas/eating through morning sickness and haven't managed to lose it at all.

ooh good luck Viv - sorry being dense about your earlier post!

Hi all, quick lunchtime catchup and there are so many posts!

jollster I still can't get over you being made to wait quite so long... second what someone else said about there maybe being another hospital you could go to? Someone did advise me to go to an EPU out of area as they had shorter waits - actually it was the Eastbourne EPU I was advised to try, if you're in Brighton that's not so far away? Otherwise, I hope you have plenty more forbidden foods to keep you going!

hippy, I think you start to get EWCM a few days before ovulation... so keep on with the sticks a little longer. I love the Isle of Wight, used to go there a lot as a child so has fond memories for me.

CC, have updated you. Here's to starting cycle 1 on the 1st of the month being a lucky charm for us both! Curiously the long list of blood tests I managed to get ordered when I insisted I wanted to rule out anything easily detectable and treatable that could have caused my MC, rubella wasn't on the list.... though I guess I did have it checked whilst pg 3 years ago, so maybe it's not a possibility? I'm kind of happy it's a fresh cycle as I should have blood test results before any possible BFP and can then feel just a little more confident. I like the fresh start idea too. Feeling confident today.

LittleMiss and goodluckbear good for you both with the exercise regimes! And Viv am impressed with the 10k run... I'm feeling a bit pathetic in comparison to you all, I really should do more, but never find the time, kid myself that running round after a toddler, and my walk from station to work are enough.... maybe a nice long spring walk this weekend, if the good weather stays with us that long.

The only thing I was ever warned about re exercise in pregnancy was not to get too hot or let heart rate get too high (so no really tough interval training). And now I've just seen your post Polly, you're all putting me to shame! Maybe I should dig out those trainers...

Viv I tested at 11dpo with my last pg and got a very faint line on an internet cheapy.... sorry, you didn't want encouragement to test too soon, did you - but as Jollster put it, we all need a bfp to coo over... fx for you.

talking of which, liahgen, have you tried testing again? maybe that's why no AF yet...??

viv i would be sorely tempted to test at 11 days dpo. sorry we are absolutely no help are we?

No alba I haven't tested since last Monday when it was a very clear bfn. TO be honest i have no faith in the cheapies and i really really can't afford a good test.

No symptoms to speak of, have gone off food but no extra hunger if that makes sense, and weeing alot as opposed to being able to hold it but that could be anything. Food thing could be anything, just don't fancy anything. Boobs feel a bit tingly on and off but again, all very vague.

Have made the most of the sunshine and cleaned up back garden, kids can actually use the slide if they want to now, and my front garden no longer looks like steptoes yard, (though to be fair, i did pay ds1 to clear that)

I am very tempted to test but hey ho. I hadve doc appt for next monday so we'll see what he says.

hope everyone else is well, the sun does cheer you up a bit doesn't it?

hiya everyone sorry not been on for ages, just kinda got lost in my own wee world. I would love to update my stats here but as period not arrived since mc I'm not sure what CD i'm on lol

Went back to work yesterday for 1st time in nearly a year and my DD (8mths) was great at being left with family hope this continues. My DD is really keeping me going just now and its great, she's nearly walking now

I think all the time about what I've been through and think of all you lovely ladies that would have been further on than me I often wonder what it would have been like right now if I were still pregnant, but if one good thing has came out of this is that me and DH are actively TTC'ing again still doesn't take the pain away of losing this baby

I will catch up with you all tonight when I get home from work and karate take care lovely ladies x

laura how long is it now since your mc?

around 3 weeks now

ah I'm sorry to hear that. Did you mc naturally or have an erpc? (sorry if you've explained all this before)

I'm 6 wks post erpc and no period so wondered how far you were past.

Hello all, hope you are ok today. I work as a fitness instructor and carried on teaching right through first two pregnancies, midwife said it helped greatly with births and recovery.
Exactly like AlbaDeTample said as long as you keep cool, keep drinking plenty of water and don't overdo it there is nothing better especially to keep strees away as well.Am going back to work next week after ERPC and although I am dreading it I know it is the one thing that will take my mind off it and may help with the ttc again. Good luck all, happy exercising.
(Also I tried for 2 years for#3 done loads more exercise in November and that was the month I fell, so who knows!)

Hello all,

Swore I'd have a break from Mumsnet, but seeing the familiar names on here has given me the confidence to come back.

My DS1 is now 2 and I concieved DS2 in October, so was on the August thread. I found out I lost him at the 12 week scan and got to meet him following a Medical Management, it was a MMC. We think we lost him at 11+2 according to sonographer, no reason known, my symptoms started to diminish the following day, so I had a suspicion going into scan, but still hoped it was an easier pregnancy. I have a good priest from when I was a child so we took him with us from the hospital, and buried him at the top of the grave where my Great and Grandparents are, together with my still-born uncle, so it feels he is safe with family.

I got my first AF last week at 29 days from the passing of the last piece of pregnancy tissue. The AF was a little heavier but just like normal. I only bled for a week, but then spotted until just past when I think I ovulated. We did have it once, but that was just after that time, and I was worried about infection with the light spotting.

Went back to work last week, and spent most of the time fighting back tears despite 4 weeks off. This was worse than returning after DS1. Am hoping to conceive again soon as DS1 needs some buddies and gets bored with me and DH.

One of my colleagues just got a BFP after 3 years + IVF so really thrilled for her. But like others jealous of those pregnant or about to give birth. As I also wanted DS2 to make it to 9 months.

Just wanted to say hello to everyone who was on the August 2010 thread, NorthLondon, Liahgen, BigMutha, I also recognise Allthe8s and LittleMiss72 but not sure if from miscarriage threads. Apologies to anyone else I may have missed.

I'm feeling depressed about carrying the extra 7lbs since I lost baby as it feels like I should be pregnant with the weight.

Looking forwards to Centerparcs this weekend with DH and DS1 and my brother.

Hope everyone is well?

liahgen66 I mc'd naturally just found out I was pregnant then I had a lot of brown discharge then past a clot and tests came back negative so my midwife (who's a family friend) advised I'd lost the baby...even tho I never experienced a lot of pain or bright red bleeding but was told this was because it was so early in my pregnancy that I mc'd, even tho it was really early in my pregnancy i was still devastated but now eager to try again x

Hi Bunny and hi Laura xx

Liah and Alba - you are VERY bad influences

(About an hour ago, I had the worst sharp stabbing pain on my waist / above my hip on the left hand side. Very very odd. So am now sorely tempted... )

Actually Liah - I think you should test again. I will, if you will...

Hi Bunny and Laura - welcome and sorry you're here.

Viv I'm not going to say the T word. Out loud anyway....

Polly I think I remember that. How lovely has it been here this week? DS and I had Pret picnic on the beach today - it was SO warm!

Alba believe it or not, March 9th is the quickest at Lewes hospital. If I waited for a scheduled slot at the Royal Sussex it's something like last week in March . I did comtemplate looking at going private but I just resent it. Besides might need to save my pennies for assisted conception the rate I'm going...

Lia don't fancy doing my back garden too...?

viv I am going to say it!!!!! do an early test I had sharp stabbing pain when I had implantation ... just sayin' (and got bfp - very faint mind - at 11 dpo)

come on, please bump me off the bottom of the grads

oh this is exciting with people thinking about testing I'm only 3 weeks past my mc and i had sharp pains the other night on my left side hip but put that down to the mc. I have been tempted to test, as not been using protection, but worried about getting a BFN...should I test or leave it?!?!

Hahaha. You're all devil women. Maybe tomorrow then. We'll see...

Laura FWIW I was CONVINCED after my first MMC that I would get pregnant quickly. (However waited for first period to start TTC - I ALWAYS do what the medical profession say ). Had got pregnant both previous times first month of trying. I tested a couple of times but BFNsss. It was just sadly a long first cycle, 33 days compared to usual 26 days. I then had 2 short cycles and got pregnant on cycle 4.

BUT many people DO fall straight away again. If you're only 3 weeks from MC you're really on the WTF cycle so who knows!? Good luck though. Just don't get too down (like I did) if it's not a BFP. x

thanks jollster might wait a bit longer before testing

I did get pregnant the first cycle after my MC, but I'd advise waiting a bit longer before testing. I am good at the getting pregnant bit, crap at the staying pregnant bit.

Muser know what you mean...

Hi ladies. Welcome to the newbies, but of course sorry you're here - it is weird when you first find yourself on thsi thread - you keep thinking it must be a mistake.

Thanks for the advise alba, another very faint line today on OPK, will keep poas twice a day, defo have the egg whites.

I seem to be the only person who hasn't jumped straight back on the horse (so to speak). I am getting a bit scared about when we have our first swi - whereas you guys are all getting down to it every 5 minutes - you little minxs!

I'm still spotting quite a bit and using that as a reason not to do the deed yet - but I htink if I'm honest I'm nervous (does that sound weird- after 13 years together!!!)

Hubbie is ready and willing and waiting on the starting blocks - so not his fault at all.

I guess I just can't quite believe that we are back here again. It's like - Do not pass go, do not collect your baby - go back to the start - Oh sh*t sorry ladies, you were all so positive and I'm being all bluuuuub again.

I don't think it's weird to be nervous at all. The first time after my mc I was very nervous and, tbh, really didn't enjoy it that much. But after that it was fine.

If you're not ready to start TTC again you don't have to, you can break the old condoms out for a bit.

Hi Girls,

Apologies for my slackness in posting, had heaps going on and haven't seem to have had any 'me' time to sit down and post (mainly due to the ever growing puppy I think!)

Hello to all the newbies, so many, and a brand spanking new thread too.

I haven't had time to read and digest posts will do that later, I just wanted to tell you all, I'm almost scared to 'say' it, but I tested yesterday with a Boots early test thingy and, shhhhh,(gulp, barrenbrook whispers very very quietly) bfp! However a CB Digi said not pregnant but you can't get a false positive right?!

I am now officially shi**ing myself!!! Is it going to stick around? Am I going to be a crap Mum, is this REALLY what I want?! FUUUUUUUUUUUCCCKKKKKK!!!!

Hope you are all well, will pop back later (if I can stay awake, not through being pg, through getting up at half 3 this morning for work!)

My word, I'm so glad I just came online for a quick peak - I get to be the first to say CONGRATS Barrenbrook!! OMG, so exciting, and you can't get a false positive so a positive is a positive.

Sticky, sticky thoughts for a sticky bean heading your way. Should be an emoticon for a sticky bean for times like this. [stickybean] - see if that works.

Good luck!!!!!!

Hippychick - I felt nervous, and I agree with what Muser said too. And as I was quite anxious it was quite emotional too, so take your time - big hugs.

Big hugs to all new people too, sorry you're here, but glad you found the thread.

Viv.....fingers crossed for you!

xxxxxxxxxx

Hippychick - just reading that again I don't think I conveyed my message well enough - I meant to say being back at the start is so sad. I wanted (and still do want!) to stop time and have nothing around me and no-one around me change at all until I get pregnant again. Kind of reverse time and do it again but with a happy ending.

Anyway, so what I meant to say is, BIG HUGS.

xxxxxxxxxx

Good luck to everyone waiting to test! I am trying so bloody hard not to but I don't want to waste an expensive Cleablue Digital (so tight!).

Before I found out I was pregnant I was with my friend when I had a pain like stitch which was odd and I said to her 'maybe I am pregnant' without really believing it was possible but I actually was. Anyway unfortunately I then mc but today I have been having similar pains. Although part of me is not sure I am imagining them .

Somebody talk me out of testing plllllllease?
