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.

Unbuffy I'd ask to see a nutritionalist regarding iron. Not 100% sure but I was under the impression that vegetable iron sources are difficult to absorb. Not only do you need a truck load of vitamin C at the same time but also avoiding dairy in that meal as the enzmes in dairy can inhibit absorbsion. Also too much spinach can have the effect of inhibiting absorbsion.

Sorry just caught your post haven't read the history but it jangled a brain cell from a previous life - I'd check this out. Can you eat medicinal black pudding?

Hi all. Wow it is so weird at work. There is one pregnant lady who is 1 week behind where I would have been and another who is 1.5 weeks behind where I would have been.

The weirdest thing is that there was no one pregnant for ages and then in the space of a week and a half 3 of us got preg. Obviously it is quite horrid for me that the other two are now sailing on into the second trimester and I tripped and fell at 11.5 weeks. They have pictures to show everyone and I have nothing which is sh*t.

But how weird that 3 got preg in the space of 10 days. We joked it might be something in the air conditioning.

They keep saying nice things like, "you'll be preg again soon." Your turn to bring a picture in soon." Etc. I know it must be incredibly awkward for them and I don't want to spoil their moment but I did have a total meltdown at work when neither of them was looking.

Still as soon as I get my1st . I will at least be in with a try. Just waiting for the old slippery stuff!!

Thanks Gi1da/Alba for answering my Q's. At the moment (haven't mc/erpc yet) I want to try as soon as possible 'cos i'm old but I might feel different after
When I was low on iron my doc told me to eat liquorice and dark chocolate. So swap the spinach for Green 'n Blacks it's good for you.
Hippy it must be so hard for you. I'm hiding away only going out for school runs but still notice loads of pregnant women. Here's wishing you buckets of quality slippery cervical mucus (well maybe not buckets but ample) I'd never manage to say such a thing in RL so forgive me for taking the opportunity here

Just popping in to offer some birthday cake around, have been thoroughly spoilt today and went for a lovely picnic in the sunshine so feeling very upbeat and smiley today!

I wasn't ttc this month and what I thought was period pains last wed might have been ov'ing pains, not sure and confuzzzed. Anyway thinking RTD was about to arrive I accidently forgot about the not ttc thing as thought too late anyway so if I did ov there is now a slim jim chance I could be.... so Alba will keep you posted!........I hope even more so now as I am on the waiting list for some surgery and have been told me if I am not already pregnant I need to stop trying and wait which might be as long as June!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I am so sick of those goal posts being moved.

Anyway I hope you all had a lovely sunny day, sorry for not name checking xxxx

Settling in to watch one born every minute. Standby for tears, anger and sheer envy.

Noooooooooo don't do it Wannabe!!!!

Allthe8s

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
May your cervical mucous
Bring a baby or two!

Unbuffy Sytron iron liquid is really good and doesn't cause constipation (in fact has the opposite effect) - I took this after my mc. Am still exhausted though and wonder whether this is hormones/grief whatever?

Hippy I had to congratulate my colleague today who has reached 12 weeks. I am happy for her but do feel so so

Also sitting down watch One Born Every Minute - torture!

Thank you Gi1da Love it! x

Happy birthday Allthe8s

great birthday rhyme Gi1da -- I'm beginning to think you really are going to be able to get that CM quote in somewhere in RL, somehow, sometime soon!

Now switch off one born every minute everyone! go and swi (or swoi) instead, will do you all far more good....

Glad I'm not alone, just sat through One Born Every Minute, silly moo made me all and happy in a funny sort of way!

Happy Birthday Allthe8s sounds like you've had a wonderful day.

Alba you little minx enjoy!

I'm limbering up for Thur, Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, DP flys out again Tuesday morning shattered no doubt.

Off to bed early start, sweet dreams all x

Morning happy St Patricks Day!

I've updated the list for Wednesday, maybe we could have a little BFP to celebrate the day..anyone?

My cycle is mashed, have never gone over 29 days. The 14 day RTD must have been the cause and maybe added a week on. So can't provide a BPF OR BFN for probably another week...Who knows?????????!!!!!! Anyone else had a similar thing??

Will be back this afternoon with more birthday cake (was very spoilt yesterday and had 2!)

Have a good day x

sorry forgot to say Top of the Moooornin to ya!

Welcome back MrsGazbo

sorry Mrs Gazebo!

Welcome back MrsG!!! Good to see you....

xxxxxxxx

RIGHT... [buffy rolls up sleeves and gets out pencil and paper]

Welcome back MrsG we've missed you - you always make us laugh, something about the images you plant in our heads. Hope all is as well as it can be under the circumstances

Alba Hope last night went smoooooothly and slippery-ly, have you got a big satisfied grin this morning?

Allthe8s Happy belated birthday, keep smiling each year brings more wisdom and luck, or so i've been told. And don't worry about your 29 days, everything gets messed up after mc (I speak, as somebody once said, with the utter assurance of somebody who knows nothing at all about the subject - well, mostly)

Hope today's a bit better Pollyanna, agree it's sickening other people being pregnant. I just found out my sil is, and all i want to say to her is 'you don't deserve this, I SO DO', but being lovely and kind it's smiles and gritted teeth... it'll be our turns soon

What's occurring Spottysox? Any forwarder in the sad business ? Thinking of you. Oh, and wondering, can you get dark choclate on prescription?

Hippy Keep Calm and Carry On, as they used to say. RTD will come soon, probably while you're wearing your tightiest whities and are not prepared for it . And you WILL be showing photos to everyone soon - just look at the grads list. We're getting there!

Littlemiss tried to watch one born... last night but turns out we can't get channel 4, only S4C what is in Welsh. Ah well, saved the tears probably.

Gilda lol at tighty whiteys, but starting to get concerned about your cm obsession - making its way into poetry, even!?

Waves to Slimyak, Wannabe and anyone else I've not namechecked, I'm off for a large cuppa and something to nibble on. Cheers!

More waves to goodluckbear crossed posts.

Happy St Paddy's, all, and remember, Guinness is good for you (and a good source of iron

Happy St. Patricks Day everyone.. I'm irish and forgot to wear green or a shamrock today!

Been out of the loop on this for a bit. Hope you are all doing as well as can be expected.

I had pains yesterday very similar to what I had when I MC'd so that's kind of scary - darts of pain right up my middle to my bellybutton. Not too bad or anything but I've only ever had them when I MC'd. Feel fine though. Felt a bit funny though this morning and of course my mind wanders and hopes that it could be something but clearly I've got an over active imagination.

Really hope someone gets a BFP today - would be positive news for us all I think

Hello ladies, after my 29 day and 10 day cycles I got a real shock yesterday at day 12. There was pink spotting when I wiped and I thought 'WTF another short cycle?'.

It appears to not be present at all today, have even had a poo (I know tmi) which normally makes any spotting clearer, must be due to bearing down?! So am crossing my fingers now that it may have been ovulation.

I may be clutching at straws as have never had any ovulation spots before, but hey-ho anything is possible following mmc. Have got some hope as me and DH SWI from day 8 as I had a feeling I may ovulate early. If I did ovulate yesterday morning that would be great as we SWI the night before which would be perfect timing.

All items crossed that it was ovulation and period holds off for next two weeks. Why does it all have to be so complicated? Biscuit anyone?

Also a question - in this day and age with all of the medical / science advances that we have, wouldn't you think that doctors could invent a test that you can carry out right after you have SWI to know if you are going to get pregnant - impossible i know but it just drives me crazy during this waiting period! I'm day 20 now since MC (Ov'd on Day 14) so it's just waiting waiting waiting!

BunnyBaby - fingers crossed for you that it was ovulation and what good timing then with your SWI - got everything crossed for you. You've got the big wait now too

Top of the mornin ta ya all!

Well break out the banners, go round the neighbours to steal chairs, block of the road with cones from student pits, fire up Aunt Maude to bake a cake, everyone label your dishes... I'm having a street party!

Yes Ladies, the wait is over, after 68 days
the Biatch formally known as AF has arrived!
Can't say I wasn't really glad to see her for a change.

I thought it was going to be horendous but very light and has gone after 2 days.
Any hoo nuff bout me

Happy belated Birthday Allthe8's Lemon ask away! Mr.G doesn't need speacial undies no

Waves to all (Hi newbies) sorry not to name check but Mr.G has been playing around with craptop and he's decided that it should live under the telly, so we can use the T.V as a monitor and has per-chased a wireless mouse and keyboard (I am)
Very snazzy, but I'm sitting here like Mr Magoo trying to read back over the thread, then type changing the Font size back 'n' forth.
But I did manage to paste and copy list so I am clever really!

Bleedin' hell it's all go in the Gazebo this week, Postie has just delivered a padded envelope for me to tinkle in! Yay!
Finally won't be long till we get some results back so we can see how soon it is before I can become obsessed with TTC again! Yay!
Postie did deliver something from Sheffield on Sat and I got all excited thinking it was said envelope but it was an invite to take part in another trial to see if the connection to folate is linked with Molar pregnancy or summit like that.

I'm ashamed to say I didn't read it all, as I was too busy swearing and ranting that I wanted my envelope to pee in and get things moving and I am not going all the way to bloody Sheffield for half an hour.

I also opened it on Mothers day as a wonderful friend got me krunk on Sat night and I stayed at hers.

Re "Sausage gate"
I told Mr.G what I'd said and he thought it was hil-arious!
He was going to come on here and bask but then I explained that (i) You can get condoms over your head and (ii) I wouldn't want you all to think I had a fanjo like a canyon cos the nurse when I had my last smear said it was very petite.
I didn't ask she just volunteered that particular snippit of info.
Mr.G has reassured me that it is not "like throwing a sausage up a corridor"
I'll shut up now eh, Bit early for all this.
I'm off to open my prezzie from the hospital and see what I have to do.
Small things etc,etc
