I won't be able to make it tonight. DP isn't home yet and I have no transport or sitter for DS.

I will try to make next months

I agree its a bloody joke that its only on once a month.

U might be having a real pregnancy mare

I would imagine, as with all these things, it's to do with shortage of volunteers to enable them to run the group more often. A friend of mine was involved until she had a successful pregnancy, understandably it was deemed not v sensitive to turn up with a bump or a baby. If any of you want to be trained up to help others in future I'm sure they would bite your hand off.....

sarkymare · 03/02/2015 20:37

I will look into that baking thankyou. I'm only 21 though so I'm not sure if people would be very comfortable if that makes sense? I mean I would be quite shocked if I turned up to a MC support group to find a 21 year old dishing out advice. saying that it might be nice for the younger MC sufferers to have somebody close in age who has been through the same thing.

Either way I need to work on myself before I think about others. But once I am good I will definitely be looking into it. Its sad that so many women go without support. I'm lucky that I found MN and can seek advice from many of the lovely women on here but even that doesn't beat a face to face chat.

Are you in Bristol too then baking?

possibly baby its not looking likely, but I guess it isn't over until the witch rears her ugly head.

bakingtins · 03/02/2015 21:13

Yes, but I've never been to the Alma Rd group. My first MC I posted a lot on ivillage, then more recently here, particularly the RMC threads. There is always somebody about here who understands, the face to face support is pretty patchy. The miscarriage association phone line is also worth a try if you want to chat to someone, or organise a meet up with the other posters on the thread - not much that coffee and cake with someone with a similar experience won't help, I don't think 'official' counselling skills are always required.

The group: it is um how shall I say it ? I dno is odd I met fig there and ended up staying for a hour and a half when the plan was 20 minutrs, I dno if I will go again or just continue to use this and contact fig etc

Mare it's horrible dealing with it at this age and I dno when urs was but mine was in September and I still can't cope all I have wanted is someone who's my age to be there so if u need someone I am here

sarkymare · 06/02/2015 16:57

Mine was December 10th so fairly recent. This chemical doesn't help things either.

DP is going to try and come home earlier so I can make the next meeting. Is it worth going do you think?

babyangelbean20315 · 06/02/2015 20:13

Why do you think it's a chemical pregnancy ? Has the doctor said that ??
And the group would probably be worth going to if more people went, when I went there was the lady who ran it and littlefig who is on this chat,
it was ok but I don't know if I would go again unless I really felt emotional on that day , i thought it would be a room of a few women jus a bit sad and crying and I could just join in but it wasn't it was more like meeting 2 people who you have no idea about and then u realise how many feelimgs you share and also how you aren't alone in feeling the way youoy do

sarkymare · 06/02/2015 20:18

Because I received two BFP's that showed within the time frame, different brands that I have used many many times and haven't received an inaccurate result, no evaps etc. Tests two days later are negative. A week on they are negative still.

I doubt a doctor would know if it was a chemical. It would have only partially implanted, just enough to turn a test positive. There would have been no trace of it afterwards.

I will see how I feel next month then. Let me know if you are going.

I have just come across a charity in Yate offering free miscarriage counselling which I thought might be helpful.
thewillowtreecentre.org.uk

Jady77 · 29/04/2015 04:19

I use the willow tree centre in Yate and have found them amazing. Really gave me what I needed, someone to blurt it all out to on a one to one basis.
