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

thanks Moo x

Clare - PMSL!

So, I played TTC roulette on day 11 after my m/c. The doctor said not to worry about the fibroid. He said, why are you here? It's very common, don't worry about it. Women are waiting until their 30's to get pregnant and that is when you start to have fibroids. He recommended waiting a month for the uterine lining to regenerate itself again, but I couldn't help taking a chance. I bled enough for nothing to possibly be left that shouldn't be there. I figured that if my body is ready to be pregnant, it will happen.

I noticed that I had very light spotting today and this is what happened before when I conceived, a week or so before my period was due I spotted very briefly (not normal for me in my cycles). I don't want to get my hopes up, but at the same time, I want to hope that it will happen again and everything will be OK this time. It's my birthday in just over 2 weeks time and I would love nothing more than to have this as my birthday present.

I don't want to say anything to anyone, not even my husband, because I don't want to have to share the disappointment if it isn't to be this time. Perhaps I am being reckless by not sitting on the sidelines completely for one month, but I think if my body isn't ready, it won't happen. x

Evening all

Yes please to the wine 8s but thinking of you too. It's hard when it's some type of anniversary

I'm shocked at the ineptness of the NHS sometimes

WYG I'm with 8s on the fairies, they freaked me out!

Clare ROFL

Not much to report here except I'm excited that I have spot (although trying not to squeeze it) - hoping that means RTD is on its way. The list is getting short, feels like I've got to wait ages before joining it. DH and I are off on holiday for a week, really need it after a shitty year so far. Hoping there'll be lots more BFPs when I return

WestYorkshiregirl well pregnacare contains the recommended level of folic acid plus other essential vitamins. I know if you eat a healthy diet you should get all your necessary vits from that but I don't always eat a healthy diet so like these are my back up plan so to speak.

I'll have some of that wine, Magic8s, how are you doing this evening? Really sorry to read your story and the anniversary must have been very hard to bear.
People are amazing aren't they?
(ok, not some of the numpties who don't engage brain before speaking when they're doing their jobs)
But people like us, who somehow don't just curl up into balls and stay like that when all this shit happens. How do we do it? Just keep going and keep caring for other people.
I'm so impressed by everyone on here's strength. We rock.

Thanks for the moral reinforcement for my waiting decision. I do feel more positive about not jumping on the attempt to conceive straight away and am hoping that my suspicions of ovulation are right and that it might only be a couple more weeks before the RTD makes an appearance.

magic8 clink. (that's me joining you for a glass and having no adequate words to express my sympathy for how you're feeling today)

went for a walk, had a cup of tea (redbush) and got my head down with work. But I did feel a little like I had the wind knocked out of my sails.

ladybee I kind of wish I'd also stayed on the wagon. And if your period is due in two weeks that's your body reset, which is good.

I'm back to the routine of being confused by my cycle. Still cramping as though am ovulating or due my period but no cm. Maybe I'll ovulate next week. I hope this biscuit ban kickstarts my hormones into action.

Magic popped on via phone yesterday, so hadn't read whole thread - sorry it was a tough day for you yesterday - hope you're feeling OK this morning x

Bluuurrrgghh 'heverybodypeeps.

I feel as rough as a badgers bum. ----> me!

8theball sorry I didn't post to you on here yesterday,
Hope you get sutibley trollied tonight.
You know we're here for pokes and wine over the coming few weeks.
Set off your lantern and sod the trees!
Oooo, let us know more about the party for Ruby, it's for a cause that I'm sure is very dear to most of us.
Do you have a palpal account set up?

at laxity of procedure in many hospitals.
We should not have to experience that.
MN has done a piece on Standard Practice after MC and has presented it to the Government so all HCP and hospitals can follow it and be singing off the same hymn sheet so to speak.

Laff good to see you again, sounds like a
implantation maybe happening
I understand you feeling nervous, anytime you want a rant , let rip.
There are peeps in similar situations and you're not alone x

Pregnacare made my wee dayglow!
I had to Google it as I thought I'd been impregnated by a Martian whilst I slept.

I need coffee and to go back to bed but Footinmouths Faahhmilly are coming home today after living and working in Vietnam for 10 years.
I have to go and do something with balloons ?!

Waves to everyone and hope Friday flies!

Dear lovely ladies thank you for your messages on here and FB. The day wasn't too bad actually but kept myself busy. Have a good friends hen night tonight so will get suitably sozzled tonight!

We are having a party on dd2s anniversary (22nd May) to raise money for Tommy's and the perinatal loss unit where I had her. Tommy's opened a placenta clinic last year and as I have had placenta praevia both times & the bleed I thought it was apt. Had a few coffee mornings last year to raise some money too - the fundraising kind of helped me with the grieving.......we wanted to do something positive on her anniversary otherwise we will just be sitting at home feeling sorry for ourselves. We don't have a paypal account but we have a fundraising page. If anyone want's to have a look it's Magic8s fundraising page and all of you are more than welcome to come along if you are down this way!

pretty I hope your hangover isn't too bad, have fun with the balloons.

Fingers crossed LAF

Hope everyone has a good day x

Thanks Pretty and Magic8. I'm feeling better about myself and the situation now. A lot of family members have come out of the wood work when I told them what happened and they all have children, so I pray that it will be the same for me.

I'm on the look out for symptoms although I didn't notice anything different until WK5 which prompted me to take the test. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I need to wish.

I was absolutely shattered this morning even though I went to bed at quarter past 10 last night, I couldn't get out of bed until 8am, still felt knackered, and am wfh today. Yesterday, I went to the work vending machine and got a diet coke, was contemplating chocolate and/or crisps as well, and just couldn't do it, which is strange. I then went to the loo and noticed the spotting. I feel mildly queasy right now.

I really hope that it isn't some sort of aftershocks from the m/c, but if that's what my body is doing, then I will be at peace with it.

magic8 bless you

busy couple of days, still ngotiating job stuff so not final but in my head i have gone already

interesting news - am now on CD1 as RTD arrived yesterday - day 30 post ERPC and I guess around 35 since I really strted bleeding with mc. For some reason I thought it would take longer. I am not ready to start TTC again, I was kind of enjoying not TTC!! and I really want to sort out job / move stuff before getting upbuffed.

So the dilemma is ... do I actively wait on the basis that esp using the monitor I seem to get pregnant very quickly and sods law says the one time I really would prefer not to get pregnant and have a stickly one will be the time it happens

or wait another cycle until life is a little more settled and try next cycle.

Is is silly to think that this cycle could be 'the one' and if I don't try I might miss the one opportunity.

My inclination is to wait one more full normal cycle so womb back to normal, hormones back to normal and life is abit less crazy. I think in my head I am not feeling like I want to start trying again.

I think I will hang with you guys on the WTTC a little longer, does that make me a masochist?

Beautiful page for Ruby 8's.

Congratulations and well done on raising so much for Tommies.
Good luck with the party and reaching your target.

Fingers crossed Laf

Hang in there LAF

Cheepz well done on making the decision as that is hard. The month will fly especially with the move etc x

Thanks Pretty x
