ttc after MC July 2007 - anybody out there?

[popsy76]

Hi ladies, our old thread is full and now I can't find anyone
I have posted here and on bereavement thread with same title - come join me if you find this

[herbaceous]

Hey popsy

I'm here - I think the other gals are on the thread 'TTC - return to the mothership', which I feel could do with 'm.c' in the title too to guide us in!

I had the peculiar experience on Monday of meeting two realy nice ladies from the NHS, who actually seemed to want to help me, rather than just say 'what do you expect at your age'. They said that there's nothing in my tests or genes or anything that means that my FIVE miscarriages are anything more than extreme bad luck, and that as I conceive easily, the odds are still on my side. Which was right reassuring.

Just to bring me down, though, as is the way, three friends are now up the duff. I just do not want to see them, or talk to them about their pregnancies one bit. One of the friends is the one who wouldn't stop talking about miscarriages every time we met, so I'm not going to be able to shut her up...

AND I'm doing my very own MAAS. I saw a load of EWCM at CD8, and as we were doing lots of jiggy-jig at the time that devil on my shoulder is saying 'ooh, maybe', especially when I feel sick, or tired, or get a twinge in my nethers. Oddly, by now in my cycle my boobs would be big and sore, and they're neither. Mad as a snake.

How are you doing? Looking forward even more to our Ottolenghi meet up!

[popsy76]

hi hon so lush to hear from you - also fab that you finally met some nice nurses!
we should put a date in the diary for our cake fest!
Don't worry about the PG friends - I have spent last 3 months hating mine - is just the way it goes - avoid them at all costs!!!
going to try to find that other thread - was feeling bereft at losing you all
xxxxxx

[popsy76]

p.s. hmmm very exiting about your SIGNs - it just crept into my head as was eating lunch that you are having some good ones - have crossed eyes and ears for you

[herbaceous]

I've never actually been in, just walked past with my tongue dragging on the floor. I shall have to be physically restrained from forcing a whole giant mereingue into my mouth in one go in an unseemly fashion.

Hi guys,

I'm newish to the Mother Ship thread so hopping over to join you here if that's OK! Nobody's posted there today so I guess the others are on their way too? Hope you find them Popsy. Herby I'm so glad you got some rare friendly NHS support. Do not despair! One of my best friends had 7 miscarriages and then had extremely healthy and fabulous twins. I keep pictures of them on my phone to remind myself on my irrational days that my one miscarriage doesn't mean it's all over forever. What CD are you on?

Gilly are you packing madly? And can Ottolenghi possibly live up to the hype?? If you put a date in for meringue-eating, maybe that's a way of ensuring you're all suffering morning sickness by then

Feel I'm babbling now, probably cos AF due tomorrow and trying to distract myself from the HPTs lurking under my bed...

[siameez]

Ta Gilly. Siameez is the only cat-related name that reliably hasn't already been taken by somebody else when I sign up to things! It hasn't failed me yet.

So glad we're in sync this month Are you temping? Because mine didn't dip this morning and usually would day before AF (not that this means much as my cycle does vary by a day or two )

Feel a bit shy asking but - is the London meet an open invite?

[herbaceous]

Thanks Siameeze... I do try to keep positive, but you can imagine how hard it is. My last three mcs have been late - after 10 weeks - which I believe is quite unusual, and the last two had trisomies - also quite unusual - so you'd think that my luck was about to turn.

My sis knows a lady who had five miscarriages then three babies, the last one at 43, so there's hope for me, and all of us, yet (I'm 41). Esp as so far I've only taken six months to conceive each time.

I'm CD 23, by the way. But as I say, pretty sure I ovulated around CD8, judging by my EWCM. But I'm having acupuncture which could have sent me cycle all over shop....

Ramble ramble ramble woot woot woot

[EllieG]

You found us Popsy! I've stopped feeling so lost and bereft now. After my cry DP suggested I go on MN and I tried this morning and I couldn't find people and was all very stressful. But am better now. And is good to know that am not the only one still being mad.
PG supervisor has gone home early cos she's tired grrrrrrrrr should be me

[EllieG]

What's that?

[siameez]

Herby my heart goes out to you. It sounds an extraordinarily bad run of luck but as you say, the most important thing is you keep conceiving quickly. Ovulation has me mystified as CM seems to have a mind of its own and this month I had positive OPKs for five days (no explanation for this however much I google). Hope your OV calculation is right and the lack of boob pain means this is your month!

[siameez]

Ooh lovely Gilly. I do hope I'm around for meringues in August

[spugs]

Helllloooo there, thought id drop in and say hi, my brilliant! attempts at ttc are being thwarted by my evil body which will just not behave itself!! So rude

[ronshar]

Well you are in the right place here then.
Are we settled on this thread, I do get confused easily and I cant remember where I am and who I am talking to.
I am lost without you all in one place.

[alittlebitshy]

oh hurrah - we are back in business!!!

still stressed out of my mind about my counsellor going away (see ellie's ttc mothership thread)

[popsy76]

Hi all [massive wave and hug emoticon]

[EllieG]

Sorry you are stressing littlebitshy - know how you feel - am going to see my therapist today and right now I would be lost without her!
You always have us though hon x

[EllieG]

Oh i hate my job I hate my job I hate my job
can someone give me another one please? Am so stressed I think am going to explode

[ronshar]

Hey things cant be that bad surely. Think of one positve thing about your job. Just one. Even if it is only the stationary you can steal.

[alittlebitshy]

i should probably remember but what is your job ellieg???? ((((hugs)))) anyhow though.

I can't stop bursting into tears.


ellie and gilly - tell me about your experience with your consellors/therapists... are you just dealing with the m/c? other stuff? is it helping? how do you feel about going to sessions? how do you feel when you come out?

sorry - i'm very very nosy, (and very very tearful today )

looking fwd to the meetup in august!!!!!!

[flosspot]

I'm here too- been mad busy and losing my marbles (did mc do that to anyone else? Am most forgetful I have ever been!)

Hello one and all- hope you are well. Had thrilling TVS today. I think the nurse thought she was drilling up to my nostrils. Cam't even retreat to bed for the rest of the day because I have six house viewings, DH is away and I have to walk the dog. Propain and chocolate biscuits, here I come.

PS- those of yu who are moving to/based in London, whereabouts?!!!
