Nice clean thread for us - may there be many a BFP on here

Hi all, haven't been on for ages. REally sorry to hear your news barrenbrook and sakura.

Haven't been on mn for a while as I discovered my mum had been reading all of my posts (including some about her!). big fall out. still sticking with this name for now though (hello mum!).

No swi here - worst attack of cystitis ever in the fertile week. getting more stressed about this now...

polly omfg !! That's almost as bad as her reading your teenage diaries!!! I know anyone can read this thread, but I sort of forget that most of the time and think it's just us having a cosy get together... Durrr

hairy so assuming you managed to get a positive hpt at 8dpo (you may have ovulated later than usual and 8dpo is the earliest you could realistically get a positive)...then the earliest you could be is about 5 weeks. Do you think you could be five weeks?

pollyanna does that mean your mum is ready all of our posts too? Hello Pollyanna's mum! Poor you, cystitis is not nice at the best of times...can imagine the frustration. I think I had thrush during a couple of my cycles post mc...thought it was a 'symptom' (stupid me).

Ladies - apologies for second day of crapness. Just so busy with work with a big presentation next week and really tired in evenings. Am pretty sure RTD is on the way - cramps and grumpy... Even though I knew we had pretty much blown it this month, I still hoped (as usual). Hey ho....

Hello All will catch up properly soon. Hope the Pox mums are doing OK + everyone else.
Welcome julia and northern .

Hi digital - I think I possibly ovulated twice at least one month, and I seem to ovulate at different times of the month - once as early as day 8!

So it's all very confusing. I guess I could be five weeks, but it's all so unknown. Its one of the things they suggested could be at the hospital today. I chart the first day of my cycle, but to date haven't noted down ovulation signs (they are very clear with me, and up until now, I've been just thankful that I do actually still ovulate regularly after 20+ years on the pill!).

I'm starting to wonder if the small 'blip' they noticed could be a very early egg sac or pregnancy - but I am not holding out any hope.

Just looking at some dates and noting down.....
26th March first day of cycle ( so 1st April last day - how ironic!!!) - so I guess if I ovulated as late as day 20 that would hav been 14th April - and I guess it then takes up to two weeks to actually conceive and implant, which would have been April 28th by which time my AF was six days late..... hmmm dunno if that tells me much, except that I could be as early as four weeks after conception. which would technically put me at six weeks pregnant this week.

Whereas, if you put the dates together as the meds do then I'm coming to the end of week 7 by which time a heartbeat would be present on a scan.

Hi all
i've been a crap at posting, seem to be really busy here but not sure what I've actually done apart from sort out my sock drawer

Just a quick post now as I really should go to bed.

Barrenbrook I'm so sorry for you to have to go through this again. My heart goes out to you. And to Saskura too.

Hairy glad you managed to get a scan, but the waiting thing is difficult isn't it.

Have a lovely holiday Moo

Welcome to the new ladies, sorry I'll try and catch up more later

time for sleep....zzzz

julia and northern welcome to the nicest thread on mn. Sorry you are here and sorry for your losses, I hope we can all help in making sense of the shitness of it all!

hairy you are sounding super calm about your amiarentiwhatthefuckisgoingon thing. I hope all turns out with good news. Thinking of you.

viv the only thing that keeps me sane is running, at least now I can get back out there. It might help to jiggle things out too!

pretty all the best for today ( is today Friday?! )

Have a good day ladies, oh and moo happy hols!

Thanks Barrenbrook - you put that so well 'amiarentiwhatthefuckisgoingon' - rotfmpsl!!!!

Morning lovelies x

Friday at last.

Was lovely to see my folks, sis & b-i-l last night, so am glad I postponed my run. Am going to do it tonight instead - the girl I run with is doing the Manchester 10km on Sunday, so we're treating it as her last training run.

I've been offered a last minute place in the race but because of my niece's party, I can't go. I'm actually strangely gutted about this - I did the Manchester 10km last year as a kind of 'slim into my wedding dress' thing, but surprised myself to find I really enjoyed it. (I didn't know at the time, but I was six weeks pregnant (with my mmc) when I did the race last year, which in hindsight, makes me even prouder about my time!)

However, I didn't apply to do this year's run as I naively thought I'd be pregnant again by now. Super sigh.

Anyway, it's Friday so no doom and gloom here. Plus I've got another acupuncture session at 2pm and I'm getting the odd ov twinge so DH has a busy weekend ahead of him...

Hope you all have a lovely day - especially PrettyV

Hi, I want to add myself to the TTC list. I'm not sure what all the abbreviations mean, but I think it is

TTC #1, UCL 28, CD2.

I'm not even sure of that as this is my first cycle post m/c and I was spotting for 3 days prior to AF coming on Wednesday, but I will have SWI in the days to come.

I'm still struggling with the loss of our baby bean. It's my 33rd birthday tomorrow and I had always hoped that by now I would be pregnant. I dreamt of celebrating with my bean and being able to announce it on my birthday this year. Not to be. I'm welling up with tears at work and I have an important meeting this afternoon and have to keep it together.

My neighbour's car is packed with the bag and baby carrier for their impending hospital trip in the next few weeks. I look at my car next to it and it is empty and it makes me sad. I thought I was able to cope but time isn't making it any easier yet.

Oh LAF77, your email made my heart wrench. I'm so sorry that you've found yourself here but rest assured we're a lovely bunch who have been through exactly what you're going through now.

I found out I'd had a missed miscarriage two days before my 32nd birthday last year, having planned to annouce the pregnancy at my birthday get-together. There are no words to describe just how shit it is - I hope your family are looking after you, and you're being easy on yourself. xx

Morning all!

I introduced myself and then disappeared .....
Yesterday evening 'im indoors and I were having supper when we heard a noise outside the front of our house - we looked but couldn't see anything. We cleared up and moved onto the sofa and could then hear squeaking coming from the (very small) front garden. Went outside and found two small kittens, presumably abandoned, so spent the rest of the evening looking after them and figuring out what to do!

So She Oak is an Australian Bush Flower remedy which is supposed to help with fertility when there's nothing medically awry (or seemingly nothing out of turn). It's supposed to aid if you're stressing about getting pregnant or have emotional issues.
Like I said a friend told me about it so I looked it up and it has a reasonable rep. plus has no down side that I could see (apart from sceptics who would poo-poo it as too woo-woo!) so I figured that it couldn't hurt and was worth a punt.

www.ausflowers.com.au/shop/scdproducts.asp?catid=1#She%20Oak

Morning All from Pox central, was up until gone 3am but she seems a little better today........hopefully today will be the last day of hell before she crusts! Joy! Aly go get topped up with that vaccine! For those of you with pox lurking I highly recommend Poxclin mousse, it's a tenner but worth it!

Nothing to report Clare my symptoms are too like PMT maybe so am reading nothing into it, I wonder if I had a CP last month cos of that spotting crap and metal mickey mouth....although my cheese tasted off yesterday maybe I should just check the use by date.

Viv you go girl! 5 miles! Enjoy your needles later

Moo have a great trip!

LAF I remember you from a few weeks back, I am so sorry, and I know all the emotionals you must be feeling right now especially with your neighbours we will look after you here.

Hi Freezing, WYG (it's not over til its over and it only takes one!),Digital (I like your non ttc news), hairy (OMG ) and polly O M F G ! ! ! ! I thought my sis was stalking me (if you are you will find nothing you already know so buzz off!)......but then I think it will make them realise how you feel and that it is so hard to talk to people in RL who have not been there??????

I apologise for rambling.......I have had no contact with the outside world since MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahaha magic, you sound ever so slightly delirious honey

LAF, so sorry. My DH wanted to announce our pg on his 40th birthday - a kind of milestone thing, but it didn't work out that way.

Ye gods this cycle is going slowly. But yay! day 14, SWI begins (a bit) today! It's v. unlikely I will ever have a 28 day cycle, but eh, might as well get down to the business.

Hi ladies, grabs a pain au chocolat of viv

Barren so sorry to hear you back with us! terrible news. x

magic hope things are getting a little better in pox central today!

LAF77 sorry you find yourself here, sadly we all have similar stories. Be kind to yourself right now and feel free to rant, cry and share our chocolate and wine. x

I'm going stir crazy here last day before my holiday, nothing packed or washed for that matter. A list of work tasks as long as my arm and bagging hangover from hell. Waiting on a call back from the elusive man on the job, cornered him via mobile this morning for an answer.

Good god this holiday can't come soon enough, I'll go in my pj's at this rate mind.

Love to all and happy Friday x x x

lucysnowe is it you on the low gi diet? If so has it made any difference to your cycle length? It's not made one jot of difference to mine so far (admittedly it's only been 2 weeks). I've lost a little bit of weight (going on clothes being looser, we have no scales) I'm finding myself to be less tired in the afternoons so I suppose it has started reaping benefits. I expect this WTF cycle would have been long whatever I ate.

I'm beginning to realise my two short cycles after the first mc were more to do with giving up breastfeeding than anything else.

Think, maybe just maybe I might be in the luteal phase. Will swi a bit more just in case, and once I'm sure it'll be back to less intensive sff.

digitalgirl great news on losing a bit of weight!
littlemiss enjoy your hols and hope you hear about the job soon.
lucy good luck re SWI!.
Magic I hope you get out soon, my dear - sounds like it's nearly there?
Julia I will look at your remedy - I guess as long as it doesn't hinder, it can't hurt.
LAFF Sorry to hear you have been feeling low. I too found big events can set me off - like when I would have been doing x or y in my pregnancy. I am nearly 32 and also imagined myself pg by now. I keep telling myself not to worry about my age. All you can do tomorrow is try and focus on the year to come and if you need to have a little cry then do.
Viv Hope acupuncture went well. Impressed at you doing 10k run last year. I've been banned from running for nearly 3 years after a knee injury and problematic op and miss it. Walking just doesn't feel the same !
Barren How are you?
Moo Enjoy Mull - I love the painted houses and chocolate shop there!
Hairy Any further news?
Polly Hope things now sorted with your Mum ?
Clare Hope your DS feeling better.
Hello Aly, Viv, WSC, MrsP and Gilda and anyone else I've missed.

Well, I have no news to report - still getting mild cramps, but not RTD. First 2 cycles post mc were 37 days, then last month was 30 so if I get to this time next week with no RTD I might start wondering....

Worked at home today and finished early as I have so much time in lieu owing. Went to town and it was really quiet and bought some nice new makeup in the Body Shop as it was 3 for 2 and a new top which was all good fun!

Off to a murder mystery evening tomorrow at friends - the first one we've been to. I am a Psychologist & DH is an Orthodontist! Will report back how it goes.....

Hi Westyorkshiregirl - yes, another blood test (I now have two bruised arms - oooch) and a consultation with yet another Dr. Got to ring for results in the mrning and turns out that Tuesdays blood test was at 118 (not 100 as I was told).

They want to see me again on Weds for more blood - then Friday for a consultation, then the following tuesday for anothe scan!

Feels like they are paying a bit more attention to me now, which is nice.

Hello everyone, hope you are having lovely relaxed Saturday mornings.
LAFF I am so sorry about your loss, but welcome here- it is very lovely and supportive. Hope you are taking care of yourself.
Viv, how was your run? I pulled out of the Great North Run when I found out I was pregnant, I am hoping to god that I will be pregnant by then or I will find it very tough I think.
hairy I'm glad they are taking you seriously, about time!
WYG, how was the mystery evening? I've been to a few of those and they are really fun. New clothes and make-up is always good!
Barren, hope you are doing okay, thinking of you.

Well, I'm halfway through the 2ww and I have not got a single bloody symptom, not a dicky bird. Not even sore boobs which I usually get about a week before my period anyway. Just a few strange twinges down there, but not really enough to start the crazy delusion ball rolling. I feel blue .

Sorry not to namecheck anyone else, the dog is whining to go out for his walk so I need to dash, but hello!

Hi everyone!
Hairy this is unbearable! Good luck.

I hope people are coping with the pox. When my dd had chicken pox, I gave her a small amount of cornflour in the end of an old pair of tights, which I knotted, and it makes a kind of powder puff. She spent ages patting herself with it and was thrilled. Everything in the house gets a fine coating of flour though.

I am now 9dpo with a very ordinary looking chart. I am debating whether or not to test slightly early (yes I know it's mad). I have a family wedding on Saturday (they all know about the mc) and that is when my first RTD will be due. I don't want it to take me by surprise while I'm away. And if I'm not pg I can get pissed and drown my sorrows at the wedding. What do you think?

finally i resigned yesterday as the contract arrived and everything was in order... it caused abit more of a shitstorm than i expected but it feels like a big step forward into getting on with my life and not making it be all about babymaking.

Shame it took 10 months and 3 miscarriages to get me to the place where mentally I was willing to put my life ahead of trying for a baby, but it feels good.

In some small way it makes it seem like the latest mc has enabled me to go down a different path than I would have as i that pregnancy had gone ahead I would have missed out on this opportunity. If that pregnancy had gone ahead I would have not had the guts to move jobs for a long time and I think I am going to be much happier now

that said i am scared shitless and have no idea how i am going to manage the increased travel and responsibility - but as DH say 'don't worry hon, we'll manage!!"

In other news I got a peak on CD15 and again today D16 so am studiosly avoiding any SWI or SWOI - which is easier than I thought, I thought I would be tempted to try but am glad I am not. next month or even the month after will be fine and at least i will know my cycles are back to normal ovulation wise as CD15 is as was before mc and the day we concieved DS.

there has been so much news since I last posted I have read through but can't comment on everything except to say

LAF hang in there, it gets bearable
hairy glad they are looking in to things - how mad - you must not know wtf is going on, hope they get you answers soon
barrenb thinking of you alot - think your erpc is looming, i found the weekend between finding out about mmc and erpc strangely cathartic, something about looking after the bean, even though it had not made it, until it was time for it to go, it was quite wistful for me anyway - feel free to call me a nutter
viv pain au choc - ma favourite, hope you doing ok lady

whose testing soon... news news

ds has a cough and has been sleeping for the last 90 mins so best go wake him up. laters.

Hi All,

Just updating, feel crampy etc so I think ITS on the way....just had a lovely donation for the raffle for our Tommys party next week from our local jeweller which has cheered me up no end! Plus DD seems to be over the pox and is crusting nicely!

Great news about the job Cheepz! Bunder I would probably test to be honest given your weekend........fingers crossed!
