Just MC and ready to try again? Pack your cake, wine and tightie whities and join us for more ranting, weeping and most of all, laughing. All welcome.

[VivClicquot]

So, I thought I'd take it upon myself to kickstart the new thread. As the title suggests, this is a wonderful home full of the bravest, funniest and most inspirational women on Mumsnet, who are always ready to lend an ear and a virtual glass of wine.

The new thread is kicked off with 3 bfps in 3 days, so here's to more love and luck along the way

X post Clare boy stolen craptop so it's taking me ages on iPod.
Erm... Results: If normal wait 6 months from mc
If not normal wait till normal results are seen then 6 months.
Does that make sense?

Got normal,
MC Jan
1st result back March.

Was normal Feb too as negatory poas tests.

I'd be very unlucky for it too happen again as it's approx 1 in 1200 pregs.
They've sorted the nk cells with steriods which I'll definitely get next time.
Without those I'll mc again anyway.

It's all good, honestly!

Sounds like a plan Gi1da
I'll give them a ring Tue/Wed after they've had chance to test latest offerings.

It would be nice to have offical go-ahead but as you said accidents do happen.

And I thought I hid my fetishes well

the sun just makes everything seem way better

having fab weekend, feeling better than in months?! think it must be this not ttc and not pregnant state I am in after all the mc's and all the anxiety being pg i feel liberated!! its almost enough to stop me trying again .. but not quite

happy try and hang in there and be positive. go to an epu tomorrow and ask for a scan - they will be able to tell you about size for dates which is a good indicator, hadn't really thought about it but when i had 7 week scan last timei knew i was 7 1/2 weeks and she said 6 so if i had thought about it would have realised maybe baby not growing at right pace

glb whisper of quiet joyous congrats - heres hoping

gilda and mrsg alias pv am loving the diatribe, keep it coming

right off to bask in the glory of pottering domestic bliss in the sunshine ..

Hello all

Am back after my travels and see there is a lot to catch up on. Welcome to the newbies.

Littlemiss - hope you are feeling better after your disappointment.

Polly - my 2 periods since mc have been heavy and painful with clots and also a bit random in length. From what I've read this is normal, but it is a bit frightening. Hope things are improving.

GLB - Your news is very exciting as we were MC at the same time. I hope this month is lucky for us both. Hope you had a nice holiday.

Happy - agree with other posters to try and stay calm - I hope things are OK.

I am still having random episodes of car sickness and tiredness, but not queasiness in mornings. Am trying not get too positive as have quite a while until will be able to test and it could all be nothing.

I have found this week off really did me good. My SIL said to me when I had mc that we should make the most of our time without children and at the time I thought how could I when all I want is a baby; however, this week with DH, having the spa break then time with my nieces and nephews would all be things that would be harder with children so I just made the most of them. I also enjoyed wine and stilton .

Not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow as the weather is so lovely, but maybe it will distract me away from other thoughts!

Hello all,

What lovely sunny Sunday! DP is frantically tidying up and getting reading to move in with me .. I just hope he clears out all his junk before he arrives

After a sleepless night Friday I'm feeling much better thankfully. Was bleeding very heavy however that seems to have tailed off now.

Sounds like you've had a wonderful relaxing week WYG good on you girl.

Good to hear your also feeling he benefits of the sunshine cheepz god knows you've been though it over the past couple of months. I'm taking a leaf out of your book and kicking back a bit

GLB oooh quite congrats to you hunni, hope all goes well.

Love to all x

Thanks for the messages guys, really appreciate it. I did another test this morning and the line looks like a definite line now (presume doing it first thing in the morning helps) so feeling a little more confident, although every slight ache has me running for the loo, knicker checking like a loon.

Might move to grads in a bit, just got to get used to the idea...

WYG - fingers crossed for you, when are you going to poas??

Littlemiss - glad you are feeling better than before, you are a tough cookie.

Happy - how are you today?

Congratulations GLB! really good news. My parents are still down so a bit quiet on here as out and about a lot.

Hey Clareanna, LadyB, PrettyMrsG, Cheepz, WestYorks, LittleMiss, BunnyBaby and FantasticNewsBear hope you've all enjoyed the sunshine today.

HappyGirl been thinking of you and hoping all is well. x

Morning All,
Happy sweets, thinking of you.
Let us know how you're getting on.

Catch up later, really should be making a move now.

Byeeeeeee x

(MrsG)

Morning lovelies x

A big whoop whoop whoop for goodluckbear - lovely news to start the week.

happygirl - hope you're doing okay today honey.

So I've had a really crappy start to the day. Am in London for the day so was up early to catch the train from Manc. Only I accidentally took both sets of house keys, therefore leaving DH locked in the house. I was half way between Macclesfield and Stoke on Trent when I got an angry call from him, so could do absolutely nothing about it...

So I then arrived in London and went to catch a cab from Euston to my office. As I climbed into the taxi with a steaming skinnyventimochachoccabullshitlatte, I smacked my head on the roof of the cab, which sent me sprawling backwards onto the floor of the taxi rank. Thankfully, I was caught by one of those taxi wardens but not before I'd thrown a glug of skinnyventimochachoccabullshitlatte into my face and hair.

I'll leave you all with that thought, while I go and comb chocolate dandruff out of my sodden mop...

Good morning all!

viv that's really pants. I hate trying to be discreet when I've hit my head and really hurt myself. Grrr.

Me, I'm well into non-fertile cloudy mucus (sorry if tmi) this morning a spot of brown blood in a small patch of ewcm amongst the normal stuff. I would normally be over the moon in my normal cycles where I ovulate around day 12 as this would indicate implantation bleed .

However 2 previous cycles were screwy compared to normal and longer, which could indicate this is ovulation. However, as I had rivers of ewcm last week fingers crossed it's the former.

Dontcha just hate the 2WW!

Diet panrlts as parents down, will try and be a good girl this week!

Also we went to court last week as an odd character decided to sue my very honest husband. This chap wanted £25k from DH and we fought the case( no other option really). The judge heard and considered the case then dismissed and awarded us our costs back. Best possible outcome but stress tore at our marriage and we lost Gabriel so you can't out a price on it. Anyway we are so happy and I got very pissed both Fri and Sat night (would be rude not to). Who wanrs a bet the first time I let my hair down we get lucky (am normal tee-total for TTC). Fingers crossed as I believe everyone on this thread deserves a BFP this month.

Have a lovely day and baby dust being scattered over everyone xxx

Viv sounds like you have had a terrible start to the day you poor thing.. hopefully things are starting to get better now.

Sorry for not being on yesterday.. just back now and going to catch up on the thread so will namecheck properly later this afternoon.

I'm just super confused, so had that test that said 3-4 weeks on Sat (I should be 6 weeks), boobs just not sore and deflated on Saturday also. Then yesterday we were at a christening and decided to do another test (i've given CB digital a small fortune this month!) and this time it said 5+ weeks which is correct. I rang the hospital and asked what I should do and they said if I've gotten the pos test with 5+ weeks then that's good news and to see my GP today. She's got no appts today so having to wait until the appt I had already scheduled for WEdnesday. So another waiting game. Boobs defintely a bit sore today again but not as bad as they were.

I dunno it's just so stressful. I was scared beyond belief on Sat cos the suddenness of the whole boobs thing just disappearing and then the test. Oh I don't know. I desperately want things to be okay and I'm really really trying to be positive today. I am wondering in my total non expert medical way was it just because I had some kind of crazy sickenss bug on Saturday that my hormones went all over the place for 24 hours. That's all I can hope I guess. It prob makes no sense though but still Fingers crossed. ANother waiting game now though til Wednesday and who knows if she will even take me seriously.

I will namecheck shortly sorry for being toally self indulgent just had a horrible few days.

Thinking of you all loads. Hope the better weather is somehow helping xx

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Bunny, you definitely could go with some good news after all that stress!

Got my BFN today - woo! My body has figured out it's not pregnant and we can try again. Just weighing up the pros and cons of waiting a month or just going for it

morning all

viv sorry but was laughing at thought of you throwing skinnyventimochachoccabullshitlatte all over yourself - sounds like just the sort of thing I would do

I have a hormone headache and CBFM says I have gone from nowhere to PEAK today so am now in two minds, I need to not get pregnant (!!) this cycle so will be avoiding SWI for next few days, but it doees mean I would be free to SWOI at our weekend away this weekend without taking any precautions, however, I am not sure whether the CBFM is reliable this cycle (am 12 days post ERPC, 16 days post onset of bleeding) and still have some very dark 'residue' coming out (sorry tmi) so how can I be sure about reliability of ovulation prediction ....

I am hoping to avoid the rather dampening effect of suggesting to DH that we deploy alternative forms of contraception, but seems a shame not to take advantage of a lovely grown up weekend away without DS.

thoughts?

happy hope you are ok

bunny lets keep fingers crossed for implantation - will make the 2ww more interesting - optimism helps!

Afternoon ladies.....apologies for being slack but I come with chocolate cake freshly made by way of apology (it has lovely chocolaty butter icing and mini eggs on top too)!

My goodness you ladies have been busy bees....

Cheepz I can't help as I have been told not ttc and have ignored advice given .....I can't vouch for accuracy of CB either as have never used....I hope that you enjoy your weekend away if I don't get back on here b4 the weekend.

Hi to Redhedgal good news on your BFN (Sounds weird saying that!)

Keeping my fingers crossed for Happy x

Bunny great outcome on your case, I bet that is a major weight off your shoulders and also keeping fingers crossed for you too (and WYG!)! Viv Oh dear lord your poor lady! Are you ok now hun?

Waves to PrettyVacant1 now I have worked out who you are! Hope you are doing ok.

Great news GLB Yay!!!!!!

Littlemiss hope you are doing ok x

Hi to everyone else Gi1da Clareanna mumsie Ladybee hope your Monday is going well.......if I have missed anyway I am so sorry...More chocolate cake???

Nothing to report my end and quite pleased it's the school holls as I am busy so not having to think about 2ww (well 1w) much.

Have a great afternoon ladies.

xxx

happygirl great news, Fingers crossed, all sounds really positive and notlong till doctors appointment

redhairgal really good news too, now you can start to swi

cheepz so confusing isn't it? I had spotting for 17 days of 2x 31 day cycles past mmc. Interestingly it halted the minute I ovulated, i wonder if this will prompt your residue to stop. Keep us posted. Thankfully normal cycle at last this month without everlasting spotting.

Yoohoo! Baggsy the chocolate cake

Monday already, not sure where that weekend went. Viv, chocolate coated hair is all the rage hunni.

Good news Happygirl fingers and toes crossed for you! cheepz sod it all and do what you feel, everything is always cockahoot anyway post mc so just relax and enjoy

Well my RTD didn't last long at all.. Friday / Saturday and now nada I think my cycle is completely up the pole and to top it all DP is off to Dubai with work week after next. Not impressed as the timing is certainly not ideal for swi. Saying that I'm not sure I'm even ovulating, was thinking of investing in some sort of predictor kit however that could just lead to utter confusion.

The cakes good Allthe8s keep up the baking woman!

Happy Monday all x

Hi All
I have dropped off this thread a bit, but I have been lurking, reading all the posts and seeing what has been going on. I didnt feel I had much to add, and I think DH would rather I didnt log on here anymore, he doesnt want me thinking about the MC anymore.

SO happy for everyone that is having good news - bit too many to namecheck. Its so good to see that things can carry on as normal, and that everyone is so strong and able to keep trying.

Last period was my first since the MC so I am on the 2WW - well 4 day wait to be honest. And I have done what I said I wouldnt do and caved and bought an early test just to get a BFN- knew I would and I'm really cross with myself for testing early. Now Im stuck at my desk feeling very sorry for myself! What a fool I am!

Can I join this thread please?

Have just found out I am miscarrying AGAIN. Supposed to be 7 weeks pregnant with DC2, but didn't have any symptoms last week and then started cramping and spotting over the weekend. Went to the hospital today to get a scan and they could only find something that looked like it could be a sac that was measuring far too small for my dates.

Going for a blood test on Weds to confirm HCG levels dropping but I already know they will. Have started passing clots, so just waiting for the cramps to get heavier and for that 'big one' to pass.

Had a mc in November, but am much more upset about this one. Really thought it would be horrible luck to have it happen again. And now my worst fears have been confirmed. So fucking unfair.

Anyway, thanks for letting me introduce myself with a rant. Promise I'm not always like this.

Hi digitalgirl - I'm so sorry to hear what's happening. I think we were on threads at the same time end December (I miscarried end Dec). It's just such utter shitness.

Wannabe - I totally understand testing early, and seeing a BFN is so disappointing (not sure if "disappointing" cuts it - I cried at every BFN post mc).

Happy - sounds so confusing and I imagine you're having a lot of highs and lows thinking about it all, but glad the second one was 5+ as it must be a good sign and good news. I'm shitting myself everytime I feel a twinge, and I don't have any symptoms (my boobs aren't really sore this time). It's hard to know what to think - my DH keeps saying "try to be positive" but easier said than done!!

Cheepz - er, I don't know, but I hope you have a really nice weekend away together, presumably you can still peak even if stuff is still coming out? It's all so confusing!

Viv - I smacked my head against the TV screen above my head on the plane back from hols, and did a comedy fall into the aisle. I always let out some sort of crazy lady shriek at these times. Add coffee into the mix - what a start to a Monday morning!! Hope your head (and hair) is recovering ok.

I also meant to say - from several posts back - I thought you did well Muser on the family stuff. How long is it now to wait?

Hi to everyone else - Bunny, Littlemiss, Red, Pretty, Barren (ok, will stop namechecking now as boss is coming. Hi to everyone else too).

I'll move to grads tomorrow as part of my pretending positive thinking.

xxxxx

Wow, there are way too many posts to try and catch up on. Who has new BFPs that I need to congratulate?

Goodluckbear had the EP treatment on 18 Feb so have to wait until 18 May for my 3 months to be up. But am usually due on around end of the month so in reality it'll be June. Time feels a bit like it's dragging, but I'm sure it'll fly by.

digitalgirl really sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Big hugs to you.

Digitalgirl - sorry you have found youself here.

I should be soooo happy because I have got a BFP on the first month of a proper cycle following the mc but..........the naggy pains I had the last time right from the word go have reappeared. It's like history is repaeting itself, tried last time to think positive (it's just an ache from a corpus luteal cyst, it's just stretching pains etc etc) when instead it was my body trying to tell me I had a missed miscarriage.
DH is realistic - just hope for the best- but I can't bear waiting again only for my hopes to be dashed.
Any words of wisdom?
GLB - glad it's looking good for you
Happy - ditto, I would be reassured if it was me.

happygirl I've got everything crossed that this is just a blip for you and not anything awful happening.

AF arrived for me at the week-end. So perhaps I was wrong to be 99.9% sure that I was gonna get preg this month . I only had a 22 day cycle (ov'd early at day 11). Zita had done such a good job on me that I was totally convinced - ahh well, will try to stay positive for the next try.

I'm in the same position as wannabeamum, my DH has voiced concerns about me reading the MC thread cos I do tend to get all worried afterwards.

I'm so sad for those of you who are experiencing this awful thing for the second (or more) time, and I would love to be here for you, so I can be supportive.

Unfortunately, when I read that people have lost again it does make me mega paranoid.

I think maybe I will have to try to wean myself off this thread for a while . Just cos I need to stop obsessing about a possible MC in the future.

Can one of you clever bods take me off the list for now please?

I am still gonna lurk and check you are all ok. If anyone wants to find me I can be located on the 'Continuing conceptions and follicling ahead of Feisty, Fabulous Forty somethings' thread.

Love to all. xx .

malteser Sorry crossed posts. I have no words of wisdom but didn't want to ignore your request.

I sincerly hope the nagging pains are any of the harmless things you are hoping for .
