Anyone else now trying again STRAIGHT after a mc? NTNP?

[filipenko32]

morning ladies, well I woke up a bit grief stricken this morning and thought i'd get out of the house and go and do a massive shop to take my mind of things. So cleaned, cooked watched sat kitchen and shoppped this morning. Faye hubby couldn't find pinot noir so he came back with rjoca (sp?) which was lovely i thought! Only managed 1 glass tho before But i plan to try pinot at some point too. Glad you're having fun and taking your mind of things! Definitely the best way to go!

Ickle and mrs migg I like gary barlow & xfactor too. I want craig to win!

Took my temp for fun at 11am this morning and it was a massive drop from 36.40's to 35.40's - shows what a difference the time makes!

Really can't decide whether to try this month, all in all I am quite sure the treatment will be the same no matter what the test results show e.g. aspirin, blood thinners, steroids (supress immune system) so does anyone else see the point of waiting for tests!? I have already had loads and nothing really came up aside from a possible blood clotting prob and even then that was only a possible one. Even when tests come back they're never really sure whether they can be definitely linked to mc's

Flip - What a productive morning, the downside of lots of wine is that you wake up late, drag yourself downstairs to watch Saturday kitchen and eat breakfast from the comfort of the sofa, what a lazy bones. I love rioja yum! I understand your fear in trying again, they do need to assess you and find out whats going on, and that must be scary and hopefully reassuring all at the same time.

I did have fun last night. I woke up to hear an old friend has just had her second baby, I am happy for her, but desperate to know when it's going to be my turn ;0( Not fair!

 

[fayewest]

Thanks ladies. Because of my weird double cycle I'm not really sure when that is! I used to think I knew but then I used to think it was as simple as counting back 14 days from when AF was due, silly MrsMiggins!
Faye, pleased you had a good night last night, it really does do you good.
I spent last night baking cookies that spell the names of the 7 toddlers who's party we are having today, we are heading out there to York later on this morning, and my mum who lives in cheshire is driving over and meeting us there. Then dd and I are going back with her for a couple of days as dd is having yet another party at my mums tomorrow. So it should be a nice weekend. I just need to try not to think too much about the last time I was there I was pregnant and in the throes of morning/afternoon/evening sickness. Nevermind.
Back on Monday so I shall start testing next week. Hope you are all ok and have good weekends.

What an amazing party planner you are, I will have to get some tips !!! Hope the party is fun, try not to think too much about the last time, much love xx

Well I had a productive morning - I got woken at 8 by the guy coming to collect my car to get it fixed so I just got up then and tidied the house until the guy from the car hire place came to pick me up. They've given me an Insignia - it's very fancy and huge compared to my megane lol! I've been really lazy since I got back from there though. I need to pull my finger out and finish off the housework so that I can chill out later.

Nothing to report TTC wise. Waiting to get close to ov is boring lol!

 

[Emum]

Managed to hold off testing today, but funnily enough it was obvious today that my DH thinks I might be pregnant, even though I haven't been discussing symptoms with him or mentioned the BFP/BFN fiasco. We were having a cuddle and he noticed my boobs were very tender so asked where I was in my cycle. A little while later we went out for lunch with the kids and he went to the salad bar to get a salad for us to share, and came back and announced solemnly that he hadn't got any dressing on it, with a meaningful look. (Usually we like the blue cheese dressing )

My sister is here until Monday evening so I probably won't test again until Tuesday morning when I will be 14dpo. If I can wait, of course...

 

[filipenko32]

Ohh emum that's great about your boobs!!! Such a good sign. I assume your temps are still up, I can't imagine you didn't take your temp this morning!! I can't wait till Tuesday!!I think men have instincts too about this like my dh always dreams about pregnancy related stuff when I am pregnant! Oh so exciting!!!!!
We really need a bfp soon on here.... and emum it's certainly looking promising. You have some wil power not testing though! I actually need to do a repeat home and health order soon!!

afm; well I am back on the wine this evening! Right now actually! It tastes really good for some reason. (Faye's turned me into a wino) I have decided to get all the relevant drugs first thing next week, from our 'normal' recurrent mc consultant who's based in Herts. I think he will double me up on all the drugs this time as he mentioned something about treating me 'aggressively' if the chromo result came back normal. My reason is this: in the end, the end treatment will be the same so what's the point of having more tests, they're not going to let me get pregnant without drugs and it's always trial and error with my 'condition' anyway. With recurrent miscarriages they never really know and it's usually something like 'the extra 81mg of aspirin did the trick for me this time'. So. I don't see the point of waiting months while they do a few more blood clots tests (I must have already had 99% of them already done and all the 'big guns' tests for mc's came back normal). I will hopefully go to St Mary's and pretend I haven't been ttc Anyone disagree?

 

[Mrs Miggins]

It's impossible to say Fil, but in your situation I think I would do the same. And as for the wine - me too. Cheers! Today I had to see the girl from post natal who is due the week after I would have been, it was a bit tough because if things were different I would have been sat with her excitedly comparing tummys and symptoms. As it was, I didn't mention her pregnancy at all. I wanted to but didn't want it to look as though I felt I had to.
Ickle, we had one of those Insignias as a courtesy car a few years ago. OH struggled with the weird button handbrake and got stuck on a hill on holiday in Wiltshire with about 20 cars stuck behind us. The horror.

 

[ickle pand]

Yeah I was a bit confused. I think I've worked it out now but they didn't show me how to work it.

 

[filipenko32]

Morning ladies (it is just about morning it's 7am) I am thinking of going swimming! I am happy this morning as my DH is coming round to the idea of trying again this month with meds under Dr A from Herts who specialises in rec mc's and looked after us last time. I will have to work fast next week to be in time for taking the drugs. Just thinking about swimming not saying I am def gonna go How's everyone else?

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Morning Fil! Bit tired after being up a few times in the night with dd- but otherwise good, having a lovely weekend with my mum and her oh and enjoying a bit of a lie in right now! Looking forward to the next couple of weeks of temping, testing, charting and getting on with ttc again. Bit suprised at how quickly my AF stopped, did any of you other post Eric ladies find this? Usually I have a couple of heavier days and the last day or two it is more like spotting and i just need to use a pant liner (on a normal period I mean) but this was 2 days of furious bleeding like a tap and then just suddenly stopped. I was worried I had left a tampon in!
Hope you enjoyed your swim if you went for it, and I'm really pleased you and DH are both wanting the same thing regarding your choices- it makes life so much easier doesn't it?
Hoping pink is having a good weekend with her folks, emum is still getting those sore boobs, Ickle is set to go with the soy etc, Faye is not too hung over and everyone else is having a top weekend!

 

[Mrs Miggins]

^erpc, not Eric......^^^^

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Me again, another question for experienced temperature checkers! I have been temping when I first wake up, around 4.30-5am. This morning, I was up at 5 with dd as she is not well. Obviously temping was not my first thought, so I did it after I had got her settled and back in bed, but obviously this was not a true basal temp. I went back to sleep again and took it again when I woke up a couple of hours later, and it was lower. Should I use the second, lower temp?

 

[angelcake71]

Well AF got me today.. exactly 4 weeks after my m/c..
feeling sad today but hopefully I will be ok tomorrow XX

 

[ickle pand]

Mrs Miggins - I definitely wouldn't use the first temp as that's not your BBT. You can either use the second temp but mark it as sleep deprived since you didn't get 3 or more hours of sleep or you could just leave it blank for today. Missing a temp here or there won't change your chart dramatically.

Soy's going well so far. I don't know if it's the soy or because I've stopped the agnus castus but my sex drives gone through the roof - typical it happens when DH is away for the weekend lol! The EPO seems to be doing it's job as well, I'm having loads more CM. Feeling really positive about this cycle so far. Just dying to start using my CBFM sticks so I can see what's happening.

How's everyone else getting on?

 

[debzie]

Hi ladies.

Just sat down with a coffee trying to blitz the house before i go to work. My mam is watching dd at my house or otherwise wouldnot bother.

Amanda glad things are working out with soy...it has that ef$ect on my sex drive too and iget loads more cm the first cycle the second not so much. Such a shame oh is away to enjoy some non ttc intimacy. You are tempting me to give soy another go when af arrives.

Afm it actually quite liberating having a cycle with no chance i am learning about my body and how it reacys to hormonal fluctuations. Might stop the mad symptom spotting hell i usually put myself through each tww. Also ordered a moon cup for when af arrives as i usually use tampons. Hope everyone else is ok today.

 

[ickle pand]

DH is home this afternoon. He'll be knackered when he gets home so I'm planning on jumping him before he goes for a nap lol! In fact I'd better get my finger out and finish the housework and make myself look nice lol!

Let me know how you get on with the mooncup. I keep thinking of trying them. I find tampons really uncomfortable since I had a laparoscopy for endometriosis and I hate feeling like I'm wearing a nappy with pads lol!

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Hi Debzie, good to see you. Let me know how you get on with the mooncup.
Angel, sorry El Witcho got you too. Mine was exactly 4 weeks after my mc too, at least our cycles are back on track.
Ickle, will do, thanks. Enjoy your afternoon! I'm looking forward to getting home to OH as well. Also thinking of giving the epo a bash.

 

[filipenko32]

Angel, sorry you got your af but at least it came round quickly and you'll be ttc again before you know it!

Ickle, glad soys working it sounds like powerful stuff and good luck jumping your OH!

Mrs migg i'd say the 2nd temp but i'm not a qualified temper yet, i'm only D category or something. Also after my af after Eric (much better word!) was also weird it was heavy then suddenly switched off like you say. I put M on my chart but it was bordering on L after the heavy surge.

Hi Debzie, are you ttc this month then or waiting? And what CD are you on now?

 

[debzie]

I will let you ladies know how I get on with the moon cup. I am sure it will be fiddly to start with but I find tampons uncomfortable too since my last mmc, and as my last two periods were really really heavy least I will get better protection.

Filip I am 7 dpo but I have no chance this cycle as OH has been working away all cycle. I have come to terms with it now but was very angry at him for not being here. x

 

[filipenko32]

Aww ok debzie, yeah I can imagine you were angry, it's a shame that everything can't just be perfect after suffering so much already I'd like to say to you that the break would be doing you good but think I may be lying if i said that I hope the next cycle comes quickly for you and your OH will be present and ready for donations. It's a shame can't be sent in the post!? Hmmmmm or can they?? 1st class, same day delivery sealed moon cups!!
