Miscarriage support

Hmm not sure, his rheumatologist knows we are ttc and didn't mention anything. Maybe I should stop googling studies? I guess we can wait until his arthritis improves and he doesn't need his meds (like in June). I'm sure it's still possible to get pg but its just another obstacle. I really had hoped to get pg really soon and not wait another 9 months like last time.

Thanks for asking Sam, the phd write up is going okay. It's a stressful time but in a way the mc has put it in perspective a bit. Some tough career decisions coming up for me, whether to apply for some positions or just get on with ttc. No easy answers unfortunately as I want it all to happen! Don't think that's possible now as it means getting pg before Feb, which seems doubly unlikely now I know I shouldn't get ahead of myself and stress but aaaargh!!! I am sure that you will manage with your pregnancy and uni. There should be support from your tutors. I hope you really enjoy both experiences xxx

Everyone (eg Mum, MIL etc) seems to have stopped asking how I am and I feel like they've all moved on and I'm left alone if you know what I mean. It's been 3 weeks, am I being melodramatic? Xx

Absolutely not melodramatic at all - three weeks is a very short time.

Oh Sweaty Betty - I do hope the sessions prove successful very soon. I am interested in how that assists with ttc but too nervous to see anymore lol. I am trying to not think about ttc tbh. But everyone is pregnant around me. Oh and then a family member posted a scan picture which must have been at 7 or 8 weeks. Shocked me that someone would announce their pregnancy that early. Everyone is different though.

I wouldn't dream of doing that now for many reasons (and actually I deliberately don't post scan pictures now anyway because I know that they can be particularly difficult) but if I'd been on FB in my first pregnancy I probably would have as the pregnancy was public knowledge due to how ill I was, I had a scan at six weeks because I was admitted to hospital and all the Drs told me that because I was so sick it meant that I had a "much lower" risk of miscarriage.

Also I have never had acupuncture in relation to TTC but I have had it twice for pregnancy sickness and whilst I don't know how, it definitely did help a little so I would consider it worthwhile to try.

anws- As I was leaving the hospital after my operation I bumped into someone who was pregnant. Everywhere I look still people are pregnant. It still hurts especially as I know someone due on my due date of my miscarriage. There will be picture reminders on the book of all faces and meetings - this person is a friend. I have to be happy for her. Sometimes you just wish anyone pregnant or with a baby would just leave your ear and eyeshot (hope it is still ok that I am coming back here to talk!)

My little girl would have been two this August and I still feel sad when I see pictures of the little girls of two friends who were pregnant with me because it reminds me of what I lost but it isn't so intense as it used to be. At first I "hid" their photos and just used to look at their profiles occasionally when I felt up to seeing photos because it was too hard to keep having them just pop in my news feed without warning but after a while I was able to unhide them.

Not a good day yesterday. Had dress on and dressing down as I was cold. !!!!!!! dad came round, under pressure to accept his visit, and I bled in front of him

mortified.

He knows about the mmc, he now knows about the OD.

His response? ... "so I have a new phone now .. can you help me with it??"

Hi Rosie, oh no Hun, you must have felt awful :-( - and your dad - well I am guessing he just didnt know what to say :-(

Hugs to everyone, I have had a nice time with a friend this am and am now chilling out at home until hubbie and I go out round his mates house. They are getting us some food as hubbie done some work for them.

I don't really know them so am getting myself all nervous but I know once there ill be fine xxx

Sam, hope you are doing ok. Thanks for asking but no, no news about the twins yet.

BadlyWrittenPoem, I'm so sorry to hear about your little girl and apologies I didn't know your story before. Hugs and thanks for your kind comments.

Lara fingers crossed you don't have to wait 9 months like last time. Good luck in the career decisions.

Rosie I hope your Dad has got over the shock and is being more supportive now.

ttc I hope you are having a lovely evening.

anyname, hope you are feeling better today. Hi to tealover and sophiasmum and anyone I've missed Xx

As for me, still no AF! By normal cycles I am due now, and I thought it was imminent as I had some spotting the beginning of the week, but then nothing. My mood swings make me think it's still coming though, then again it could be just tiredness. DS1 had some friends for a sleepover last night and it was more of an 'over' ie no sleep!! Going to watch xfactor then go to bed I think.

hope you're enjoying yourself ttc39?
I think im off to bed early tonight too plmbl - didn't doze off till 4am, and that was only for a couple of hours...

hope everyone else is ok? i'm glad my visit with dad is over with. he wasn't in shock about the blood .. to OD etc ... he just genuinely doesn't give a !!!!.

BadlyWrittenPoem - I guess time is a healer. It is a reminder though. And that hurts. Sorry you have had to feel the same with dates and friends being pregnant.

Rosie- Hope you are bleeding less. Sorry your Dad was pants. Sometimes me do not have a clue what to do in awkward conversations.

PLMBL - Do hope you get some results soon. And an AF or a BFP! xx

ttc39 - Hope you have had a nice evening!

Lara44- I do hope you get another BFP quickly. It sounds like it is all go for you. February sounds so long away but its nearly blimming Christmas!!

Hi to everyone else. Hope you are all having a good weekend. xx

Lara I got pregnant much quicker the second time I was really shocked as assumed it would take ages.
