I had my 7th mcs about 9 weeks ago (i think, i didnt write any dates down, have little memory of about 2 weeks during the time, due to the drugs i was pumped with)
In short, i dont know when it occurred.

Ive sought councelling because i have never talked about my mcs ever, to any one.(well, only to you lot Smile)
Additionally, i am coming up 42, and thught that that was IT the end, no more, even went and got the pill.

Patiently waiting for my period so that i could start taking the damned thing.
No af as yet.
Feeling much better in myself, councelling really really helping, im on a healthy eating mission (thanks to myfitnesspal) doing really well.

Accepting everything, although the grief has been overwhelming at times Sad.

So af still not here, so bought a cheepy test, thought that all pregnancy hrmones will now be gone...this far after mc....almost immediately a pink line came up.

We dtd only a couple of times..it normally took me up to 22 months to concieve so this has floored me...completely and totally. Do not know what the jeff i should do?????????
All calming words of wisdom very much appreciated....i know i know, theres no fool like an old fool.. Sad

HI!
Ive just unleashed my girls from the torture of a bra, got my PJs on and am curled up on the sofa....lusheousness Grin

Had appointment with the councellor lady who has helped me to accept that i would never have another child, and who i have sobbed like a dumbass over my lost pregnancies, poured out the 10 years of desperation and grief to her over the last 2 months.
I told her my news.
She clapped like a loon and cried! bless her!!
She said that from the bottom of her heart, she is genuinely delighter with my news, and that she is not a religious person but she hoped and prayed everything went ok for me!

I think that i have made her day Smile
So many lovely lovely people.

Its still like a dream!
happy happy SO HAPPY Grin

I've been lurking too. SO happy for you it's brought tears to my eyes. I've had 9 MCs and 4 babies, so anyone else that's going through it, don't lose hope! I've still got the POAS sticks, 10 of them, done on 10 consecutive days at the start of my last pregnancy to see whether the lines are getting stronger!!

Keep us updated for the next 7 months please OP Grin

nosleepwithworry · 29/06/2012 20:38

ahhh thats SO good to hear Pickthatupplease you give me such hope, 9 mcs & 4 babies, it CAN happen for me cant it, it happened to you xxx thanks xxx
Were your mcs prior to your babies?

LulaPalooza · 29/06/2012 21:17

Oh me Oh my Oh WOW! I was reading this thread with my heart in my mouth until your post about the scan, nosleep and then I let out a cheer! So, so pleased for you and DH and I have everything crossed for you.

Pickthatupplease · 29/06/2012 21:48

No, all my MCs were in between babies. First pregnancy gave me DD1 then it all started to go wrong....had the tests, 'unexplained infertility'. I was told by the consultant to take baby aspirin, because although the was no medical reason for into work, it just might help and wouldn't do any harm. So I did but I went on to have 6 more MCs in between 3 more babies, so I think it was just luck. My best advice is drink 2l of water every day.

Everything is crossed for you nosleep Grin

nosleepwithworry · 29/06/2012 21:54

Im drinking loads of water thanks, off everything else Smile

Its just that i have heard this happen to people..in magazines, i cant get over that its happened to me and to you too! It just shows, there is hope when all hope is seemingly lost.

I'm going to change my name to nananaps i think!

Have been lurking (and crying - tears of joy that is of course) and wanted to also tell you I'm knotted up with crossing everything there is to cross, and then some :o

Aaawww! A due date Smile Congratulations!
What a lovely, lovely thread. Your counsellor crying made me cry!

Enjoy those shire horse wees btw because before you know it you'll be dashing to the loo to wee out the equivalent of one teaspoon's worth of wee Wink Grin

Thanks Congratulations again Thanks

FriskyBivalves · 30/06/2012 07:31

What a lovely due date. Has a beautiful symmetry about it. Do you have an iPhone - there are all manner of countdown/due date apps. Trouble is you will be glued to it for the next eight months or so...

It is all so incredibly exciting.

Well done. 000oooooohhhhhhh and breeeeeeeeathe.

tiddleypompom · 30/06/2012 07:33

Another here to send warmest congratulations on your pregnancy - I have followed your thread with heart in mouth and have joined the chorus of cheers when you saw that jumping bean for the first time.

According to my iPhone app, your lo is currently the size of a green olive :o

So very happy for you.

nosleepwithworry · 30/06/2012 07:40

A green olive! I have a green olive! That makes it more than an empty sac of nothingness..there is something actually there, yay!!!

Oh bloody hell sobbing all over my iPad here! Grin I 'm not religious so absolutely everything crossed for you!

tiddleypompom · 30/06/2012 08:01

You have a prune to look forward to in week 10. I shall gladly update you with regards to fruit/veg sizing on a weekly basis. Just you wait for the butternut squash :o

Mama1980 · 30/06/2012 08:08

Oh you made me cry Smile I'm so happy for you. Congratulations on your olive! X

GrapesAnatomy · 30/06/2012 08:15

LOL! I love the fruit analogies, as I was updating my classroom assistant about the size of the dd she said "GrapesAnatomy, are you having a baby or a fruit salad?" Grin
