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.

Hello, been away for a bit in Ireland and no internet access. I'm calculating I have over 300 posts to catch up on but up to my eyes in unpacking, washing etc before back to bloody work.

This is v lazy but can someone update me on news? Is that a BFP for Alba? What else has been happening?

I can feel RTD approaching so might get off the top of that list soon and give someone else a chance...

I find One Born Every Minute strangely comforting. It freaks me out about childbirth but that makes me feel closer to the idea of actually having to go through it. Plus, the joy people feel once they've got their baby is just infectious. DD was c-section after they realised she was breech (12 hours into labour ), so haven't actually done the full monty, as it were. Eeek is all I can say!

Have a good evening all x

bloody hell - like buses... 2 BFPs on one day.... I know we're being all cool and restrained and sensible..... blardy blah-de-blah . But alba and unbuffy SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO chuffed for you and of course appropriately . Wishing you both all the luck in the northern hemisphere on stickiness. Alba skiing well over-rated anyway... and tvm for the OB offer. Yum, yum, YUM.

pollyanna that's a bit poo. Am I correct you are in BN? I can pop round with a (rubber) baseball bat and crack him in the shins? Would that help? A VERY unMN hug for you (think that may be my first ).

Haven't watched OBEM. One of the reasons I put off motherhood so long was fear of childbirth; the thought of watching for entertainment? methinks I would rather eat my own foot... Elm I had a EmCS with DS also, so am also fullmontyless if that makes sense.... enjoy though.

Hi to all. Hope you are all feeling spring-like and forward-looking. I am trying to x

Hmm. Tonight's episode is about the neonatal unit, so all a bit too harrowing. Plus, just got email from friend to say she's pregnant with number 2. Due in September, when I would have been due. Just when you think you're starting to feel okay about things... might have to go and have a weep over a glass of wine.

Congrats to Alba and Unbuffy, lovely to see some BFPs.

alba and unbuffy so (quietly) excited for you!
wonderful news! And fab to hear that your scan went well tfls
I don't think I'll be joining you this month- despite The holiday! Been expecting RTD any day now,

Oooh, tentative congrats to Unbuffy and Alba. Very excited for you and not a teensy bit jealous . If neither of you want the thread twins can I have them please? failingthat more realistically I'll have a virtual kitten cuddle instead.

Pollyanna they can be weird can't they. Keep talking, if not to him then someone else and if not in RL on here. Mummy369 hope work gets better.

Shinysideup so of you as well- NZ and I WANT MY BLOODY PERIOD DAMMIT! I never thought I'd want a RTD so much... 5.5 weeks since mc now and no signs. POAS yesterday (internet cheapie) but obviously BFN as we've hardly SWI and cycle is most definitely WTF...don't have any real symptoms either so was a bit pointless really!

GRRRRRRRR.

Take care everyone x

Morning all, saw BFs newborn last night, delish! It just makes me more determined.....the came home and tried to watch one born every minute but switched off as little Izzie was far too like my dd2 did watch the end though when she came home

How you feeling today Elmum? Pollyanna how are you doing today? Did you have a chat with not so DH?

Sorry to all of you who were hopeful and fear RTD is looming.....I felt relieved after mine came the other day, another month to get back to normal, which can only be better for us hey ladies? x

Have updated stats, hope I have done it right!! Unbuffy and Alba I have left you where you are until you are happy to move yourself BELOW!! x

pollyanna sorry I didn't finish my note to you (demands of dd2) .....I meant to continue to say men just don't get it, they are crap and on totally separate grieving paths to us.......think you just need to tell him how it is hun.....just tell him what you have said to us. Hope you have a better day today x....

Oooops must have been doing that at the same time!

Gi1da glad you are on the ball I left the Tuesdays stats at the top......must stop trying to do 9 things at once....I am crap at this!

I meant dd1 (would like to demands of dd2 ) I am going now before I crash the post!!!!!!

Right this one's going to work.
(4th post, don't ask)
Hi
How is everyone today?

I've just had to drag myself out of my pit in determination to post this.
Tried last night but can't remember if it was stoopid iPods fault or the fact I had 4 Desperados too many.

Anywho
It was something along the lines of screaming wishing Buffs congrats on her brave POAS BFP!
I'm positively over the moon with the spoon!
at GLB hail to the BFP dance, shame no-one caught it

TFLS Good to hear about the scan, lovely news

Spotty re frotting G1lda is a Deerrtty Bird and a menace to public transport.
'Nuff said

Oooo,oooo... Hussy Puddies, nearly forgot.
Want one.
Mr.G is not a cuddly being and would quite happily direct all strokes and squeezes to Hussy tats.
Sausage is not yet an ishoo

Not even going to say it.

Alice was AMAZING btw
Took a while to get used to the 3D glasses and made my eyes water a bit.
Foolishly I was wearing loads of blue and turquoise eye make up so actually looked very much like The Mad Hatter by the time the film finished

Tcha I thought it was a special season ticket, but yes now I look at the small print it is actually a restraining order.

I felt a bit wobbly after seeing Avatar in 3D (though it might have simply been an overdose of sentimentality that scrobbled my sarcasm girocopter).

How's everyone doing today? Am feeling supremely chipper after yesterday's double whammy updufferama. Anyone else got a present from the Clear Blue Fairy under their pillow?

Hi I wonder if anyone can help/advise? I had a mmc on 3 March - went for my 12 wk scan and the baby's heartbeat had stopped 2 days before at 11wk5days.. I had an erpc on the 5th March 2 days later.. the dr at the hospital gave me 5 hcg preg sticks to try 2 weeks later and he said because of how far along I was with the baby could take 2-3 weeks for hcg to fully disappear... have tried this morning and it is still showing a positive although fairly faint still a line which sadly (bizarrely saying this) I dont want there to be a line!! Is this the norm? Have 2 tests left so was going to wait a few days to try again..the bleeding stopped almost 2 weeks to the day..

And a to say it was and still is a huge shock to me. seeing my almost 12 week baby on a scan getting measured then telling me they are sorry there is no heartbeat just keeps haunting me...
It was actually a 4th pg..I have 2 ds aged 9 and 6 then another ds who took 3.5 years to come along this pg was unplanned and I was on the pill... after the shock we were v excited thinking we had been blessed with a number 4 even if poor ds1 turned 1 on the 4th March..now we would like to try again as we didnt think we would feel that way about having a 4th but cant start trying until the pg test shows negative otherwise I wont know what is happening...
Sorry this sounds terribly jumbled and amazingly I am on a good day today...

Thank you to any advice...x

minxi so sorry you are going through this, i lost my LO at 15+5 about 4 wks ago.Sorry can,t answer about the test sticks,but i would give it a few days then try again.

Hi minxi,

don't worry, your bfn will come (Sounds weird but it is a relief to see). Sometimes it just takes a while. For your doc to say exactly 2 weeks is pushing it a bit I think - everyone's body is different. Have you stopped bleeding yet? Are you still in (physical, obviously) pain with cramps etc? Is there a chance you may have - i'm going to say this although i detest the phrase - products retained? Stay calm and don't worry - be kind to yourself. If you need to stick around here for a bit, I'm sure there will be some ladies along who have more brian and better advice than me. I do know it can take ages for the hormones to shift though.

Mrs G frotting is one thing, but directing all strokes and squeezes to hussy tats?? Do we have a particular hussy in mind, and would she not object?

Yes please don't move me yet, I'm still only a Bloody Faint Positive, not a proper bfp. I'm planning to test again on Sunday morning, which unless af comes first will be hopefully more definate.

Alba, how are you this morning? Are you still reeling ? When are you planning on gradding and are you planning on visiting the grads thread - if so and all being well and hedging all bets will you handhold with me 'cos they are big and scawy people over there...

Lots of crazy waving at everybody else, and especially to Pollyanna with flying ((())) cos she needs it.

Oh minxi I really feel for you. I was in the same position just before Christmas. I wasn't given any sticks and I'm pleased. I knew it was over and I planned to give myself a good Christmas of not TTC.
If you can wait until your RTD has returned to normal it might make you feel better emotionally - but I do understand wanting to get right back on the horse, so to speak.

On a happier note a quiet congrats to unbuffy and alba, and TFLS the 12 week scan has got to be a happy milestone to get too. I is smiling for you all .

I've got another week to wait before RTD is due and I'm thinking big, slightly tingly boobs - not in a wierd way, in a symptoms spotting way. Anyway, off on girls weekend to the seaside this week which will keep me away from stupidly early testing.

This thread moves super fast. I'm trying to keep up but struggle with the name checks, sorry. Hello to all and fingers crossed next time I'm here I'll have a BFP to share and others will join me.

Hi Minxi
Welcome but sorry you're here.

In answer to your specific qs, I had my 2nd MMC on Feb 26th, and waiting for an ERPC MC "naturally" on March 4th. I was re-scanned on March 8th, and told to POAS 2 weeks later to check it was negative (not given any supplies though, had to purchase, you're obviously in a more exclusive part of the country ).

Did so this morning and there was only the VERY VERY faintest of lines, so I'm counting that as a BFN. FWIW when I had an ERPC with my first MMC noone mentioned about doing any tests, so I didn't. My first period came exactly one calendar month after the ERPC. So I would say wait a couple of days as bigmuther said.

I waited for first period to TTC last time, and will do so again this time.

Hope you're doing ok - I found my first MMC much worse than this one. Am still waiting for something to hit me, but at the mo am doing ok.

Hi to everyone, alba and buffs woo hoo again.... tick tock til the weekend tests huh - THEN you can graduate (BTW the grads thread is LOVELY, they'll look after you).

Morning. I was back at the hospital today for my weekly blood test. Fingers crossed this was my last visit and I'm officially not pregnant. Then I just have the long wait before we can try again.

Great news muse - at least that's the first hurdle over with. Treat yourself to something decadent today - go on! x

The long-awaited RTD got me last night, as I anticipated, so have relegated myself to the bottom of the list.

It's lovely to hear happy news on here - congrats to Unbuffy and Alba. And sorry to minxi for your MC. I MC'd 19th Jan and bled for 5 weeks. This is my first AF since then and is very heavy, am feeling completely washed out today - and I'm due a blood test this week to check my iron levels!

So sorry you're here Minxi, but you've found fantastic support, and it helps enormously

mummy3610, one of your dcs just had a birthday?
I felt very anaemic especially when the awful 'good old clear out' first RTD arrived (v heavy) and have been taking spatone ever since, incredible difference very quickly. Floradix also good I've heard. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Unbuffy, yes to everything, was planning on asking you the same! And despite feeling incredibly nauseous (all the pg symptoms back with a vengeance all at once) I still don't want to move to the bottom of the list till I know the scariest first few days over. Also plan on weekend test, went to buy some just now from next nearest boots to work, but it's closed down... So will have to brave nearest branch and hope no colleagues spot me... Or find a waitrose for those special ones with streamers that gi1da mentioned...

Waves to all, on phone so apologies no more namechecks...

alba woohoo on feeling nauseous!

minxi sorry you are here. I had a mc at the beginning of feb. It took a good 3 weeks for pg tests to turn neg. I got RTD around 5 weeks after mc.

Jollster- yes please come round with baseball bat! DH being more understanding and up for swi now. No bloody good now though on day 20-whatever! He has promised he will be better next month. I can't remember who asked, but we do swi/swoi throughout the month and I don't expressly say that this week is the week or whatever, but he has a suspicious mind and just refuses to put out for a week.

I have a que about my cycle and wondered if anyone else had the same.... my first period after mc was quite strange. Not extremely heavy and no cramping etc. Then since then I haven't detected any ovulation at all (have been temping, but possibly can't read the signs properly). Am I on for a really horrid RTD this time? It seems strange that my last period was relatively light when I was told that my womb lining was very thick. And also am I the only person not to ovulate?
