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

xx

PV xx nowt to say that'll do any good, hang in there, theres good times and theres rubbish times, you are in mid rubbish times, big girl love to you xx

Just want to add the messages PrettyVacant, so sorry that you've had this bad news.

MrsPretty bugger bugger bugger. I really hope that new tests give you answers and although there may be a bit more waiting, this journey gets you your healthy baby in the end. You so very deserve it.

I see everyone has been catching up from the quiet MN weekend! Allthe8s, you are made of strong stuff - the memorial must have been so hard but a nice way to remember your little ones. Fingers crossed you get a nice wee suprise soon x

Hello Dorcas and Lucy, welcome to the thread, hope you are coping alright through these early days. Dorcas I think almost all of us will tell you that getting pregnant again consumes you initially (and only marginally less now!) - what you are feeling is understandable. I felt pregnant for a while after and had started to show - which made it even harder to accept the baby was gone. As the others have said, it does get easier with time, I know it won't feel like that now though.

Great news Malteser about your scan. You can try and relax now and enjoy your pregnancy. I'm glad you took the plunge and got checked out.

Viv not been using my CBFM for long enough so no idea what will happen. You just HAVE to go for it just in case!

Glad you enjoyed your break Cheepz, hoping Polly's travel hell ends soon and Alba is healing nicely.

You sound in a bad way WYG. Some difficult decisions to make too by the sounds of it. Take your time and look after yourself x

Gi1da!! Bloody hell, that was a sneaky BFP. Hurrah! Goood on you pal. Here's to a really boring pg until Christmas.

Bunny you are putting me to shame with your dramatic weightloss. Wish i could get my act together, I seem to be going in the other direction sadly...

Oh fuck MrsPrettyG, just after getting your good news as well. What a shitty blow, that must be horrible to deal with and more bloody waiting. Like the others said, everyone is here for you if you can face staying on here. You and Mr PrettyG take good care of each other x

Well, I'm at the start of week 2 in my TWW and couldn't feel any less pregnant. I actually feel pre-menstrual but not even in a 'could be implantation pains' kind of way - if that makes any sense. I also fell apart watching Desperate Houswives of all things, when Lynette lost her baby and had that little sequence where she imagined what his life would have been like. Even DH had a wee greet. Its so hard because that's how we've always felt about losing our bean, that its just such a missed opportunity and a great wee soul that we'll never meet. So that made me miserable all weekend and reallly very low again. It never fails to amaze me how it can all come flooding back with the same intensity again. So I'm a big misery guts but trying to boot myself up the arse to get on with it and dry my eyes.

Hello to anyone else lurking about of an evening.

bejesus it's all happening... in NO particular order (thank you Dermot...)

Gilda.... whoop whoop WHOOP. So pleased for you. But beyond words too. My (usuallyD)P is a 27th Dec baby. Lovely time for babes...

malt1981 (please tell me that's not your DOB, you little cherub you!)... you must be so relieved - consultant sounds lovely. Chuffed you're getting such support.

MrsG so sorry on the setback - here's hoping it gets straightened out soon. You are a strong, assertive, positive woman (and touched by the pod..) - you WILL get through this. x

oooo Cheepzy get you with your in-house (ok garden) gym.... and you're leaving that for....? Millionaire's row? GET YOU me lovely! Delighted you had a fab break - you deserve it SO much.

viv hmmmm, interesting acu update - have another appt on Thursday - let's share notes!

welcome dorcas and lucy - sorry you're here but it DOES help.

Been welcoming (?) estate agents into my home today for valuations. Had forgotten how amusing they are... Have treated myself to some SB and G&B as a reward. Bugger there goes all the good intentions...

Love to all (sorry if I've missed anything else big).... off to pour another glass.

Thanks all for the welcomes. Good to read about some bfps and sorry to hear the bad news too. You are right, it's good to get support.

I would like to add my stats, if that's okay, but what does CD mean? I think I am

lucy snowe TTC#2 UCL 40+?? cycle 2

NB does anyone have PCOS and take metformin?

mrsprettyg really sorry to hear all that news, and you're always the chipper one keeping us amused with sausages and the like. Am happy to (bore) amuse you with my tales when you're ready to pop back. Hope they give you a better explanation soon and you can jump back on the bandwagon xxxx

helllloooo all! back from weekend away (viv - in Cromford) where I was made to do extreme cycling type activities.

WYG big hugs, totally understand how wrung out and tired of ttc you are feeling. Hope you get some answers on wed. Def change docs - a sympathetic doc can make all the difference.

cheepz glad spa break was magnifico, and fab news on the house sale - things are looking up!

malteser - so glad you got some reassurance today, and that you've found some great support - so chuffed for you

Gi1da - my flabber is gasted! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! how are you feeling?!

Alba and pollyanna glad you had a good relaxing break, lovely to hear from you

Muser not long now - hope you've got something special planned!!!

welcome to Dorcas and Lucysnowe -it's a tough tough journey after mc - hope we can help you through it

MrsPretty - I'm so sorry - what a total arse - hope MrG is giving you plenty of hugs
CD means Cycle Day.
RTD - Red Tide of Doom (more appropriate than AF!)
SWI - Shagging with Intent

Viv CBFM should be OK with a missed test - will prob ask you to test again tomorrow and will be a high. I had 2 peaks and one high before going back to low.

bunny well done on the weight loss and the warm spot in uterus - hope it means something good. FYI my reflexologist knew I was PG with DS before I did!

As for me - delighted to get peaks on CBFM as it shows my body is working again, after 2 cycles post MC of knowing I probably wasn't ovulating (no CM etc) It was worth the money just for that peace of mind. DH and I didn't act on the peaks, so I'm out of the action this month. Actually feel pretty good about it now, nice not to be going through the pressure of 2ww and I can get on with trying to lose some weight, without thinking, well I might be pg in a few weeks, so what's the point - might as well eat the cake.
So, this month I will be chief cheerleader in a Glee style, and encourager of POAS action (allthe8s - can't be long now?) before getting back to the crazy next month.

MrsPretty not sure why I cam telling you this - was meant in useful way for Dorcas and Lucy!
Doh

AM not cam - geez - not even drinking tonight

Wow, so much has happened in just two days.

Gi1da huge congratulations

malteaser hooray for reassurance

Lucy and dorca so sorry you've joined us, but do know that these ladies are amazing.

pretty bloody hell, that's shite. Really hope that you get the all clear soon (and for good).

cheepz how exciting about moving house! We're currently trying to squeeze my mum into our house...but I have dreams of doing the mother of all extensions to add another two bedrooms to the house. Or we could move. But that might actually be more expensive in this area.

Bleeding has almost completely subsided. Thought it might have stopped today, but I think it might drag on in a half-hearted way for the rest of the week. Am going to test on the weekend (as it'll be 2 weeks) to make sure that it's negative. Asked DH (who has returned, yay!) to buy me some pregnancy tests and he came back with ovulation tests . I don't usually bother with those as I've had false positives before...but now they're in the house I imagine I'll be tempted to use them.

Feels really odd to be thinking about ttc again. I do want to be pregnant again, but all the excitement of it has gone.

Got GP appointment tomorrow and DH is coming with me to back me up. I'm going to ask what kind of early ante-natal care I'll get if I get pg again. And ask to test me for PCOS. I eat far too much chocolate to be able to go on a low-GI diet. Anyway, am delirious with exhaustion, night all.

Hi Ladies,

[creeps back into room with bottomless jug of Pimms to share around]

Been off not obsessing (yeah, right), but to no avail. Back on CD8 (well, looking at the time more like 9 - damn this insomnia!)

Sorry not to namecheck, but way, way too many posts to catch up with properly.

Hurrah for the BFP's and big hugs to those feeling as down as I do and worse.

Off to count some more sheep.....

Thanks for the acronyms clareanna! AF always sounded a bit too mumsy, I feel :-)

digitalgirl I am going to try a low-GI diet this month since I'm prob not pg - have got All Bran for brekkie

PrettyMrsG - Oh lovely, I am so utterly bummed for you and DH. I can't believe how shitty life can be at times. Really hope you get some answers from the hospital - I know that you'll be able to pick yourself up from this so be strong, my love x

clareanna - No WAY! I grew up in Matlock so know Cromford very very wel indeed. Had I known, I could have given you all sorts of hints and tips

Morning all x

The CBFM didn't explode in a fit of pique (geddit?! groan...) last night - it just gave me another peak and was done with it, and then back down to the usual high this morning (although the test stick still had two definite clear lines with the 'important' one slightly darker than the control line... )

DH and I did the deed before work yesterday morning (another reason why I forgot to pee on the stick - haha) but am now utterly paranoid that it wasn't enough and we should have done so again last night too.

Still, nothing I can do about it now - it's Day 1 of the 2WW so strap yourselves in ladies for some more surreptitious symptom spotting, all the while pretending that I'm doing nothing of the sort, honest guv...

xxx

Morning all. Thank you everyone for lovely congratulations. Of course I feel a bit guilty as I know its a bittersweet moment, we all deserve the same, and I know I queue jumped a bit.

I feel very relaxed this time. I know a + does not necessarily a baybee make, but my rollercoaster experiences this year have taught me that what will be will be and I may as well keep calm and deal with crap if and when it happens and not before.

MrsPretty thinking of you today.

Cheepz congrats on the house!!! We moved last October and its was a nail biting finish. I am never moving again unless I am miraculously so rich that I don't need to sell this house when buying the next. Chances eh?

Jolls good luck with your house too, and with the job stuff. You are so bound to get duffered just as it all goes into hyperdrive!

Viv keep going with the acupuncture, I am CONVINCED it helps!

Clarea LOVE the pom-poms! and Dark Horse Eights fingers crossed for you.

Digi hope things settle down for you this week. Lucy hi!, Freezing, Bunny, Dorcas, Teaser, Alba, Moof, Littlemiss, Yorks, Gonnabe and anyone I have missed sorry, I wish you all a happy, sunny day with a spring in your step.

viv can I vicariously symptom spot through you since I am still WTTC!!! its abit dull not having the rollercoaster of the 2ww to deal with!! everythings abit tooo normal now!!

mrspretty hope you are doing ok today, youre very resiliant so I am expecting you to bounce back in no time at all!!

gilda still smiling for you babe

digigirl good to find out what you are entitled to, ante natal support post mc is reeeeeaaaallllllly important so kick some GP butt

jolls knock at least 5% off whatever they tell you! and expect to get about another 5% less than that! still spinning from the joy of house sale - although as DH says in his glass half empty voice 'there is still a long way to go' but feels like progress!

right time to call solicitors and mortgage company .. busy busy

Hahah Cheepz, yes you can. You can join me in regular subtle boob prodding, and speculation that the funny taste in our mouths is because of a baby, rather than off milk.

ooooh viv i have cramping - do you think 1 dpo is too early for implantation cramps

shit - maybe i am ovulating - have finally stopped bleeding 3 weeks after erpc = no shagging for me!

So sorry to hear your news Pretty. But hoping that all this testing and waiting will result in a healthy baby for you.

Really am stoked for all those with a +

I'm now at the 'sod-wanting-to-be-preggers-I-just-want- to-ovulate' stage. Stupidly hoped I'd be the one to buck the trend and ovulate straight after mc. Now accepting it's going to be a long wait.

For all those in search of alternative remedies... I'm still grappling with the somewhat close to the bone subject of medieval miscarriage. Had a lady yesterday who had given birth to three sons prematurely and all had died. Turns out it was because of the sins of the father. Thankfully wrapping the belt of St Godric around you is a tried and tested solution. I'm repeatedly amazed at the level of gynaecological know how, but equally saddened by the descriptions of inter-uterine deaths

Morning all, Gi1da!! Bloody hell, that was a sneaky BFP. Yay Yay Yay!!!

Hello to everyone else, I'm not up to going through and name checking today, had a sickness bug since the weekend I feeling a little poorly.

scotch share the pimms woman! looks like we are going through this month together so I'll sit quitely at the back with you whilst sampling your fine tipples..

GOOD NEWS ALERT, been supporting a friend at work with PCOS, she contact me yesterday to tell me she has a BFP!

Happy Tuesday all x

Jollster - I am going to be thirty next year you know!

Morning all, hope the sun is shining where you are, it's a lovely day up north.

then I shall call you maltybaby I only vaguely remember 30.... also gorgeous down here on the south coast. Have been scrubbing metal garden furniture with bicarb.... oooo, how very Kim'n'Aggie.

Big wave to all x

PS viv will join Cheepzy with vicarious symptom spotting too if that's ok.... ooo what fun.

viv me too - ooh your boobs def look bigger and are you craving pickles yet?!

please please please stop the symptom spotting. Week two of 2ww, and despite being pretty sure this month is not my month I can't help but hope. Must NOT test until well and truly late (please keep reminding me!). Don't want any more upsets...

So, to keep me busy, I had a go at the list... apols if any mistakes -- maltybaby (I can't remember being in my 20s either) I've put you on the grads list as you said you were happy to move a few pages back... but I didn't get back far enough to find out what date your BFP was...
lucysnowe CD is cycle day, first day of RTD is day1
Gi1da huge congrats, fab news, haven't moved you yet, will leave it to you to decide when you're ready but really really happy for you
Pretty it's just not fair that you have more challenges in the baby race. Very best of luck, hope this is the last hurdle.

I forgot to hand round the holiday cakes at the weekend - so sharing now, DS's extra large tube of smarties with Winnie the Pooh on top. Saved us from what looked set to be a very protracted tantrum in Gare du Nord on the way home, so they're lucky smarties
