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

I've just been reading all the latest updates and I wanted to send you all a virtual hug, because you all sound like amazing people and are putting into words better than I ever could exactly how I feel right now.

The whole pregnant co-worker thing is driving me crazy. I'm a teacher and the French teacher at school is pregnant. Is it just me, or does she have a permanent smug expression on her face? Maybe I'd look that smug too if I was in her position, but right now I avoid her as much as possible, and have to leave the staff room crying if anyone comments on her pregnancy while I'm in the room. Sometimes I think I might actually hate her, and then I hate myself for thinking that.

aly323 your words rang so true. I'm so sorry for your loss, and I know that feeling of desperately wanting to get pregnant again straight away. In fact, I wanted to get a bit of advice on that. Our doctor recommended that we wait two cycles to try again, but I thought to hell with it, let's just have sex when we feel like it and see what happens. I'm slightly anti doctors' recommendations at the moment, as they recommended that I have an amniocentisis with my first pregnancy, even though I was convinced I was fine and didn't need it, and we then lost our perfectly healthy son as a result of the amnio.

Anyhoo, it's now day 46 post-miscarriage and AF has not arrived. Plus, I think I spotted implantation bleeding the other day, and I'm burping masses, which was one of the first signs last time. I'm not going to test until at least Monday, but if I am pregnant again so soon, have I just set myself up for a massive headfuck? And is it true that I'm more likely to have a miscarriage?

Any help gratefully received!

Well done on interview Cheepz
'back of the net'

margie I don't know about the increased chances of MC if you get pregnant straight away. But good luck with testing on Monday. Do you have any idea when you might have ovulated?

littlemiss what a lovely treat. Pat on the head for your DP.

Got a call from the EPDU. They've received my GP's referral and want me back for a scan. I must say it was a very confusing conversation. She kept referring to a missed appointment I had and that they wanted to book me in for another scan. I said quite firmly, 'No I've had a miscarriage' and she said "I know, we have your doctor's referral here." For a while I thought she meant the referral for a booking in appointment. Anyway, once the confusion was cleared up it turns out they want to scan me before handing me over to the Gynae department to follow up my GPs referral for investigation into my recurrent MCs.

I must admit I wasn't expecting to hear back so quickly. Am rather the pleased, as I'm beginning to feel that maybe I might be ready to start trying even before I get my period. So in the (very unlikely) even that I manage to get lucky maybe they'll be able to follow the next pg one from very very early on.

I don't really understand the list thing but could someone add me on to it? I think I am TTC 1, UCL29, but not sure about the rest. Today is day 1 of my first period since my mc. Also I don't have a hash key on my computer which doesn't help!
cheepz well done on your interview.
I'm off on holiday tomorrow and can't wait! It will be a well needed break for both me and my OH. Hope the sunshine lasts.

Excellent news Cheepz - it's all going well for you at the mo - that positivity is paying off!

Dorcas and Linda - as others have said, just keep saying what you need to on here as we all understand and it's really good to get things off your chest so to speak.

Dorcas - I too was VERY low around time of first RTD since mc - your hormones are everywhere and for me the return of blood etc just brought it all back. That could explain why you are struggling a bit right now. The bereavement thing is very important to remember as how many people just 'get over' someone dying and this isn't even someone you have created and are carrying inside you?

Littlemiss - your DP is doing well - isn't is nice when they surprise us? Good luck with interview next week.

Clare - Have fun with the BBQ!

Margie - I had an independent midwife before I had mc and she pretty much converted me to ignoring a lot of what GPs tell you! GPs (and I am generalising here) in particular know very little about pregnancy and I would always say to go with your gut. I was advised by him to wait a few cycles, but my mf advised that often this is just so you can be a bit more sure of your dates. I waited one to give myself time to get over things emotionally and physically and then got back straight back at it!

Hope everyone has a nice weekend - I am off to a spa for my friend's birthday for some relaxation so I will be nicely chilled when I see you next (virtually anyway)!

Thanks very much WestYorkshireGirl. I'm sure it's true what you say, and I'm convinced (now more than ever, having lost my son because I didn't do it) that you have to trust your instincts more than anything.

Digitalgirl - I have no idea when I ovulated, as I normally can't feel it and wasn't using a kit. Will just have to wait and see on Monday.

Hi all

Hope you're enjoying the weather. Margie fingers crossed for your BFP! I'm sure I've read anecdotally lots of pgs directly after miscarriage that went fine. So sorry to hear about the amnio.

aly and linda hello and take care over the next few days. I too have found it v. hard not too tell anyone about the miscarriage. Like the other day I was talking to a mum who had an August baby and mine would've been August too and I had to bite my tongue to not talk about a pg that didn't even happen! It's horrible.

Meantime took another test and am def not pg. This is the cycles that never ends! It sucks because I had some ewcm and mid-cycle bleeding, which in the past seems to have indicated ovulation but nothing. Just want my RTD now so I can start again and begin charting properly.

Cheepz, congratulations on the interview. I'm a huge fan of pantsuits. I'm a lawyer and in court a lot. I always feel that I should try to be traditional and wear skirt suits, but I just feel more badass when I wear the pants. Obviously you had some badass going on!

Oh Margie, I can't believe that about your amnio. I was just talking about the risks this morning. I always felt that 1 in 100 seemed so tiny, but it really isn't. I'm so sorry to hear you lost your baby because of that. I know what you mean about relating to the posts. I feel the same about so many on here!

I spoke to my dr about waiting 3 months. He basically said that any dr at my hospital/ hmo (i'm in the u.s.) will say this because it's the hospital's general reccommendation. He says it is based on one study done in the seventies that hasn't been repeated. In that study, women who got pregnant sooner that 3 months after a loss had a higher rate of miscarriages. I really want to find the details, however, I feel a little better trying early since it was one older study that hasn't been repeated.

Linda, I'll definitely be picking your brain regarding the diabetes. I'm so new an intimidated by it- I'm amazed by people, like you, who have managed to deal with it! It takes do much discipline. I'm trying to get some testing now to see if it's truly gestational or if I might just have type 2 or pre-diabetes. Good news is that my last a1c3 test came back good. The doctor says that's most important, along with folic acid. I just know it's going to be an issue any time I get pregnant. How did pregnancy affect your diabetes?

Clare twinnies indeed! In cycles and RL eejit actvities like weeping at desks - what a pair. Thanks for the heads up on Desperate Houswives, I have deleted it from my sky telly since the previous weeks' has had me in tatters. More eejit like behaviour!

Aly welcome, nightmare about your co-worker. At least mine is only in the office one day, which is hard enough. I have also been avoiding a very good friend who is due a few weeks before I was but I can't act naturally around her and find I'm having to force myself to ask how the pregnancy is going. I think we just need to be a bit selfish at times and use whatever coping strategies we need to. Margie if you need to avoid conversations and that stoopid French teacher you do just that. Look after yourselves x

Hope Viv and Dorcas have recovered from the hangovers! Dorcas the words of our sonographer when she said there was no heartbeat at our 12 week scan, every inflection in her voice, are burned into my mind forever and she didn't say anything thougtless like yours. I'm sure as you said it wasn't meant like that and she didn't mean to trivialise what you're going through. I can understand why you keep playing it over but try not to torture yourself. Your receptionist needs a slap Muser. Cheepz you rock! You're on a roll, a sticky bean is definitely on the cards. Littlemiss can channel your interview skills next week!

Lucysnowe my first cylce after MC was 5 weeks followed by a 68 day cycle. I thought I was going to go mad! Hope yours concludes soon. My third cyle seems to be back on track if that's any consolation.

WYG and Dorcas enjoy your breaks and pamper yoursleves to bits.

Gi1da how you feeling pal - horribly sick or not too bad? Hope you're keeping well x

Big waves to Linda and anyone else that's stoating about. There's a glass of vin rouge on the go here - help yourselves

hi everyone. WE are finally back in the country. Sorry I haven't been able to read the thread, but have a question about periods post-mc.

so, my first one after mc came around 5 weeks after and was fine - a bit light in fact. the next one came about 30 days after that (had a positive test and it is possible it was a chemical pg) - lasted around 10 days and was very heavy with clots etc. But now - on cd 22 - I have got another period. Again heavy and painful. Has this happened to anyone else? I am worried I have an infection. Had a couple of scans after the mc and was told there were no retained products. I spoke to EPU during the 10 day period and they said there won't be any products.

Just really hacked off that my body isn't back to normal (and I can't get pg again!). and wondering what to do. Also it is very painful.

Sorry to offload.

minxi just scanning thread and saw that you are experiencing similar!

Evening all! Sorry I have been awol for over a week but just trying to catch up now, will have to do a blanket hello to everyone. Welcome to the newcomers, hope you are all doing ok, congratulations to the BFP gang and sorry to those who are still trying.

No real reason why I have been off line, just trying to keep busy and take each day at a time. Have been having an angry phase lately. Why cant we get pregnant by ourselves? Why did we get pregnant then have a miscarriage? Why does everyone else get pregnant with no effort? and so on and so on!

I am another one who is surrounded by pregnant work colleagues, in the last two years that we have been ttc I have had 6 colleagues get pregnant. Basically as soon as one goes off on maternity leave another one announces their good news, I am happy for them as after our problems I would not wish fertility issues on anyone. I just wish it was me, surely it is turn soon.

On a positive note we got word through from the fertility clinic that we only have to wait till I get RTD then I can start some more drugs and they will transfer our two frozen eggs in that cycle so could be as little as a month away till the transfer. Just waiting for the RTD, tick tock tick tock. So the Norwegian medical professionals dont follow the 3 month wait.

It is two weeks since the MC started and I am still bleeding, it had tailed off to very light spotting and I thought it was almost finished but then this morning had a gush of red blood but it just seems to have been an after thought. Looking forward to it finishing as I cant remember the last time I had sex with my DH, poor sod!

Plans for this weekend are baking cakes for Sunday as we have invited the family round for coffee and cake since it is DHs birthday on Monday, I will of course save you ladies some cake.

Have a nice weekend whatever you are up to.

moo sometimes a bit of self preservation is the order of the day!

My best pal and next door neighbour is pg and was 4 wks ahead of me. Her little boy is also my ds's best friend. I love her bump and am now in the place where I'm feeling a special bond with her bump -that baby will remind me of what could have been, but in a good way- I will LOVE watching her grow up and want godmother status- I'd prefer to be close to her baby and focus on what is a blessing than my loss. Hope this makes some sense- pass the red wine!

polly congrats on making it home- hope it wasn't too traumatic - how did you get back in the end? Sorry you're having another bad rtd- so frustrating .

nbelle I found sex after mmc v emotional and cried lots (poor dh) just take your time-no rush.

Hi,
Not posted for a little while but I've been reading everything!

I'm feeling for the ladies with pregnant colleagues - I have two and I also think I will have to leave the staffroom when I go back to work.

WestYorkshireGirl I also had an independent midwife, and have a healthy distrust of the medical profession as a result! She also said go for ttc as soon as I wanted to.

Well, it's been a funny couple of days. I ventured out of the house by myself for the first time since arriving back in the country post mc yesterday - not felt brave enough until then. I went to Sainsburys. And fainted at the checkout. One of life's more embarassing experiences. I will stay in for a few more days and see what happens. But today, I think I am ovulating! Hurrah! Stich like pains and a darker line on the OPK.

Have a lovely weekend everyone - we're having a garden picnic

Morning all, another lovedly sunny day here in London!

bunderthebonnett Am glad that are a few of us radicals out there going for independent midwives and challenging the system. I don't think the local mf knew what to make of me when I turned up for my booking in appt with my notebook, questions and refused all tests etc. I was quite open about the fact that I was simply registering with her to get the bloods done and anything else that I wanted from the NHS and then use my ind mf. I secretly liked being a rebel!

Hope you have all enjoyed the nice day - I went to a spa in the centre of Leeds for a whole day of pampering and relaxation. You would never have guessed I was in the middle of a city!

barrenbrook hello, lovely to see you!

pollyanna I've heard that chemical pregnancies can make the next cycle shorter and I think I experienced that myself a while ago.

independentmidwifes by all means trust your instincts BUT I used an IM and he arrived 18 days late following induction. She urged me to wait, despite carrying out a sweep at 7 days late, where she asked me to lift hips and he turned posterior. As a result he could not get low enough in my pelvis to trigger labour without inducement.

One of my best friends is a NHS midwife elsewhere in the country and said I was very lucky not to lose him. Especially after a 72 hour labour (that's posterior for you) I would never ever delay again, especially given posterior presentation. However, I trusted her and she was a bit naive.

Anyway, DS1 perfectly healthy, but don't forget NHS midwife does several births a week. Independent may only do a few a year, and NHS get to deal with things at their most extreme. She told me several stories about well meaning IM's but they're not really for retelling. Anyways, agree it's good to not let NHS dictate, but I should have listened at the point of 14 days overdue and didn't, but was very lucky.

Just to check, anything you taste or lick off the bowl while baking is actually zero calories isn't it?

RTD got me
