Information, support, hand holding, tea, sympathy and a hell of a lot of combined knowledge - all welcome as we try to make sense of the RMC roller coaster of tests, NHS admin, heart ache and (hopefully) happy endings!
Please start with a recap of your stats :)

Thank you everyone. Trying to relax now in the calming environment of Waterstones (may approach pregnancy books if I get brave). I was a bit of a state. Kept crying and shaking so much he (yes a he - I wasn't sure how I felt about that at first but have decided it's fine now!) had to do an internal.

bythesea - please flow in my footsteps!

Catlover2014 · 04/02/2015 10:24

Just thought I'd share with you all that I'm meeting my local health watch representative today to set up an infertility and miscarriage support group in my area. Hope I can hack the pressure, I get very nervous about these sorts of things. X

Floweroct · 04/02/2015 10:24

Great news twilight :)

longestlurkerever · 04/02/2015 10:34

Brilliant news twilight. Feel quite weepy! Good luck for next week bythesea.

Good on you cat. You will be great.

All well here except tedious thrush is back. Don't really like taking meds in pregnancy but these pessaries only seem to give a few weeks' relief at a time.

On the plus side I have a couple of hours time off in lieu while dd is at nursery. Goong to get my hair cut and go to a cafe on my own! Then braving ikea with dd later....

Floweroct · 04/02/2015 10:45

That sounds really interesting cat how did you get involved with that?

Marchgirl · 04/02/2015 10:55

Good work cat. Hope it goes well

Flen · 04/02/2015 11:02

Twilight that is great news!

girliesaints · 04/02/2015 11:16

Yipee Twilight x

barkingtreefrog · 04/02/2015 11:17

Excellent news twilight!!!!!! Grin Grin Grin

cat Good work, sounds great and we'll done for getting involved, but are you allowed? Might sound like a stupid question but I know you get kicked out of our local infertility support group if you get pg! Not in a nasty way, but if women are looking for a refuge from bumps and babies, and somewhere to share their infertility, it's going to put them off if half the group are preggers!! (The mc side might be different, obviously).

tannyLoo · 04/02/2015 11:18

Cat that sounds really positive and affirming. Hope you and DH are ok. I'm having blazing rows with mine atm. It'll blow over, but it is shitty isn't it?

Twilight that is just wonderful. So pleased x

barkingtreefrog · 04/02/2015 11:19

Argh well thank you autocorrect Angry.

I've read that back and it sounds quite rude, I didn't mean it like that, and obviously I'm very, very chuffed you finally got your much deserved win, just wondering about the practicalities/ irony of a pg woman starting an infertility support group!

Catlover2014 · 04/02/2015 11:29

barking, know what you mean and I had wondered the same. I'm not sure how my current status affects it, something we will discuss today.

At the moment the nearest group to where I live is an hour's drive so I want to get something set up to help those who can't travel that far. It may be that I don't go to the meetings, just get local women speaking and start the group up if that makes sense.

It all started because my CCG won't fund any fertility treatment because I've had mc after privately funded treatment. I met my MP and he wants us to get a group set up and the more voices that contest the policy the better. Where I live you only get one IVF cycle after 3 years of ttc and no further help / meds are available. It really is poor. I've been in the local paper and have made a total pain of myself for the CCG. It's been quite challenging for me as I'm private but I want to help others.

Hope you're enjoying your coffee longest. As the thrush queen you have my sympathy, I'm always suffering with it. Sleeping naked and wearing granny style cotton pants are the only thing that slightly helps with mine. The joys of being a woman!!!

Tanny we've kind of made up this morning but I'm still disappointed in him being so selfish. Sorry to hear you and DH are arguing. I think the world would be a much easier place if we didn't need men for their sperm supplies hahaha!

Flower29 · 04/02/2015 11:33

Excellent news on the scans! So pleased for you all! Grin twilight I hope you can relax a little now, when is your next scan?

cat that sounds like great thing to get involved in, good luck with it

purple I hope you're feeling better and your results come back ok

Sorry you got your af flen, not long til the next fertile window tho

baking glad to hear Faith's MRI went ok and she start to feel less hungry. Hope you get the results soon and they are as positive as can be.

Sorry if I've missed anyone!

TinyTear · 04/02/2015 11:58

Yay twilight! :-D

Me2Me2 · 04/02/2015 12:28

Fab news twilight!

bakingtins · 04/02/2015 12:33

Brilliant news twilight so pleased it's all looking good Smile

Good on you cat hope your meeting is productive.

Brummiegirl15 · 04/02/2015 12:52

Twilight that is wonderful news!!!! Breathe!!!!

Cat that's ace. Well done you. I feel the need to do something too as I feel mc is hidden and no one talks about it. But my DP is quite private.

Re arguing DP and I haven't argued per se, but definitely been a bit stroppy and snappy with each other at times and it's hard. The person you lean on for grief is also grieving and I don't feel I can say to him "you don't understand" because I feel that trivialises his grief as well.

We are ok at the moment though - I'm trying desperately hard not to let this take over our lives. But it's hard.

So I'm concentrating on the marriage word - hmm he defo doesn't really want to have that chat!!!!

We've always said we'd have a baby first due to my age but that hasn't quite gone to plan and we've had so much sadness I want to concentrate on something happy.

But all I get is "hmmm" Thing is my sister had a grand affair in a stately home and DP is very much a bloke from the Black Country (Wolves) and sees the whole thing as a huge waste of money for something that grand. I've explained not all weddings are like that!

Anyway he's not very chatty so I'm hoping it's something he'll do in his own time!!!

But I appreciate I'm just doing something to distract me as well...

Hello to all - glad little Faith is scoffing away and hopefully getting stronger

cloudjumper · 04/02/2015 13:20

Fab news twilight! May you have many more happy scans like this one Smile
