LOL Nickster the secret poet

A&R I grind my teeth really bad too. Was in the past 6 years or so when I had a really bad time (before I was ill for a year with burn out) and only was identified when i was in hospital. jaw was always blocking and my tooth crakced. my dentist also made me some guards to wear at night in bed (yes a serious turn off for DH so theyre not getting much use in the last few months) I even managed to break one from biting so hard. I also had some physiotherapist pulling away at the muscles on the inside of my mouth....not the kind of thing thats nice, having rubber gloved peeps fiddling and pulling your cheeks.
Its called BRUXISMUS - have a google. You apply so much force and pressure that its strong.
They do say you chew things up in the night in your sleep. perhaps its just the added stress of TTC
do go and get a plastic shieldy thing.

My friends also took the mickey out of me the first time i had it in at a girly sleepover...but it gets a few laughs. better than false teeth anyday

okay...DH is running my bath. Off for a soak and will put me feet up and watch the apprentice later on.

byeeeee

love it nicks! and glad you've been reunited with your DH whilst your opks are still positive, hurray! Enjoy your evening

choccy sorry you haven't really got any answers...hope your body starts to play along soon and stops making you feel all poorly, now that's just not fair.

oops on the grinding front AandR, maybe you need to get some massages for relaxation?

Glad things are easing inbetweener, try and rest up a bit. it really does take it out of you, I just wanted to curl under a big duvet and not come out for a year week.

so, went to the doctor this afternoon..I love my GP He's going to arrange an early scan for me and did his best to reassure me. Not much I can do about the insomnia, excpet stop worrying not sure that'll happen, but hey.

sorry for not catching up with anyway...supposed to be in a meeting, but they're running late...should really be pretending to do some work whilst I wait.

big hugs to all feeling glum today, hope tomorrow is better...

and velvet.... have you POAS yet? Still got my fx crossed for you!!

Between glad your bleed is slowing down, and well done for being strong around that announcement :) you were strong!!

A*R you can get gum guards for teeth grinding, may be worth it? To wear at night, am sure your DH would appreciate the look

MA WHOOP for the supportive DH xxx glad you are ok xxx FAB that you are seeing someone else, you may get answers!

HUGS to everyone who needs one, JAm KT sorry you are finding it hard to keep up, it moves mega fast on here, pop in whenever you want, you dont have to namecheck, just say hi or have a rant!! xxx

chockster What did the doc say? are you ok? Hope so, hugs xxxx

Right thats me done.... off for some sausage xxx

sausage and fanjo hmmmmm!

The was a young lady called anjo
who had a very big fanjo
liked having some meat
tasted very, very sweet
and when finished loved strumming her banjo

Well the list of crap associated with mc continues. I went to dentist today as have very sever toothache driving me nuts. Found out it isn't toothache but rather I have been grinding my teeth so badly I have strained my jaw muscle and am risk of cracking my teeth .... of course I can't take the nurofen prescribed in case I am pregnant. We have also just found out our train for our weekend away has been cancelled due to the bloody French strike grrrr double grrr That will help with the grinding teeth!!!!!

Well hello my very gorgeous and glamorous chattermonsters :) soz been awol, (if only for 12 hours) monster day in Brissle, back to back meets, now at home in Jims, DS in bed, sausages in the oven and shag time later WHOOP :) (obviously not with the cooked sausage, a real one

2 positive opk yest and 2 today so judging by the cramping i have ov'd today! (jeez day 24!) and yes have been drowning moo glad others have experienced it also :)

FX for me... and no MA we shagged only the once nearly 10 days ago so unless DH has been guzzling critters by the bag load the chance of swimmers being up there still are NULL & VOID!

Catch up properly laterxx

Glad you got checked out choccy and have got the all clear. Hopefully the other pains/nausea you have will wear off once you start to feel better generally (actually, I remember now, before my last mc I felt really rough for about 4 days, back ache, shaky chills, really bad throat. I don't know whether it was connected as such, but probably just a sign of a low immune system and my body generally being in the wars.)

Good luck with the doctors wombat.

Thinking of you mummya and hoping you're doing Ok.

I feel slightly better today. AF still not started properly but think my very emotional last few days was partly due to PMT (as well as the usual end of cycle slump. Just after AF I feel so optimistic and anything is possible, but as I can feel AF approaching I get really down and pessimistic. I'm sure I'm not the only one).

x

Hi everyone

HUGE THANKS for asking about me and worrying with me. I went to the docs this morning after POAS (again!) and having BFN. Just wanted to check if there really was anything there and was worrying about ectopic scenario.

Well my doctor died a few months ago from cancer and the other doc in the surgery was on hols so saw woman doc covering, who is very nice but i still really dont know whats going on. told her about mc in July (i had just been to my gynaecologist - its like that here, you have different docs for everything- just GP for general stuff) anyway she tested my back knocking on bits for kidneys. was uncomfortable but not great. the bits which hurt were on the muscles so her conclusion: muscle probs. my pee samples are showing no signs of anything. oh well. tablets and have to go back if feeling gets worse.

so much for worrying.......
but still slightly not convinced its just a bad back, esp. after feeling rather sick over past week.

anyway.....Im at SKIN doctor tomorrow which is in same building as my gynae - so if im still doubting and in worse pain I´ll ask there. having a mole on my arm removed tomorrow after it looks bit funny over past 2 summers..... best be safe.

will have a nice bath later on - DH forbid me to do it when he´s not home (well he said so today when im not feeling well). I fainted once in our old flat and fell onto red hot radiator and burnt my thigh and ended up with severe burns. Aye....Im always at the front of the bloody queue.

okay..gonna check what else is going on. Just wanted to give a life sign first. x

Hi all,Izzy I just did a quick stalk search, and StarflowerGirl is posting regularly on an antenatal club so I think she's jumped into a graduate status - I'll move her.

I'm also going to take barrenbrook off and put her into waiting. For those who don't know, unfortunately she started bleeding last week (I think it was) and is pretty certain she's lost this one in her 4th miscarriage . I asked her about removing the announcement on another thread.

I'm also just going to remove the cycle & day count from some of those at the top who haven't been around for a while, I'm pretty sure they're not pregnant but those cycle lengths aren't likely.

Right, got to go get the boy's supper, be back later to catch up.

Wow you girls have chatted a lot today!!

Cant remember who has said what but here goes! MummyA what a lovely DH helping you out with gynae :)

Whoever said DH is onboard with anything now to stop you being mental - mine is too!

YRMOTB how were the exams?

Wombat - hope the Drs sort you out tomorrow

Inbetweener glad the bleeding has slowed down. I'm still immensely jealous at PG announcments and my MC was in May so dont worry about feeling bad!

How are you Choccy?

Hi Izzy Still no news from me - no AF, no darker in the pants department and no POAS. I'm pretty convinced AF is coming so I dont want to waste a stick! Will do one Friday morning if nothing new has happened.

Hello to everyone else

Oh- also, I know we were letting people graduate themselves, but I haven't seen StarflowerGirl around for ages - do you think she'd mind if we graduated her? ( Starflower if you're out there, speak up )

choccybick how are you doing, lovely? Let us know how you got on at docs x

inbetweener - well done for facing up to work so soon, and having to deal with of announcement too - eek! That's a hard day . Hope you're doing ok now. I found the stress and emotion really exhausting in the early days, so look after yourself and rest as much as you need to.

Also tunnocks and mouse and ktrace - how are you all doing?

wombat good luck for docs tomorrow, hope you get some answers or at least some reassurance

mummyabroad good call re seeing another gynae - if nothing else it will set your mind at rest. Hope all goes well tomorrow night

nicks - yep think you should grab dh for post-ov shagging, it might not be too late

pinkff hope you're doing ok and AF has relented a bit now...

Thought we should update the stats. I've given it a go but forgive me if I have messed up at all - which is highly likely

Thinking of you chocky, hope you are allright xxx

Afternoon all. (((Hugs all round))) Thanks for your lovely responses. It's great to be able to share these crazy obsessive gut-wrenching thoughts with people who really understand where I'm coming from. Am trying and failing to be much more positive tooday

Well done mummya and mummya's dh* for arranging a second opinion. Good luck! I really really hope there's some encouraging news for you and they can put an end to your long wait and uncertainty.

Inbetweener eek, I feel for you with the colleague announcement. I have close friends TTC too and although objectively I know that there's isn't a finite number of babies to go around and their happy news when it commes won't in any way diminish my chances, I'm bracing myself. I just hope when the time comes I am able to react in the way I hope and not in the way I fear I will. You response to your colleague's news sounds very brave and composed. I'm glad your bleeding is slowing down too.

Hope you're cold is getting better PFF (and anyone else who's suffering - we seem to be a sickly bunch at the moment!)

Choccy what did the doc say? Hope you're feeling better and not so worried this morning.

KT hope your bleeding takes its cue from Inbetweener and stops soon and you get some iron for the anemia that makes you feel brighter.

I poaOPKs this morning. No smiley face but then I'd have been very surprised to get one. Makes me feel like we're back in the game though. I hate the 2WW and AF times - it makes me feel so helpless just waiting! Still not feeling quite right, so have made an appointment with a different GP tomorrow morning. They'll probably tell me I'm being a hyperchondriac but at least I'll feel reassured that I've done what I can :)

Hello to everyone else - I can't flick back a page without loosing what I've typed and that's all I can remeber so apologies if I've missed out important stuff xxx

Morning everyone,

Choccy sorry you feel so rubbish. Wow 5 weeks is a long time ((((()))))))) Did you go to the DR's ?

Well I am back at work today. I figured there wasnt much more I could do at home and to be honest I have so much work to do here. Got in this morning and one of the Radiographers announced she is 12 weeks pregnant. Soooo jealous. I know that makes me a bad person but i cant help it. The green eyed monster well and truly came out. I couldnt even sit in the staff room, I had to say congrats and go back to my desk.
Its not even as if I have anything to be jealous about, I have to lovely girls so why cant I just be happy with that. Im a bit with myself at the moment. I need a kick up the bum.

My bleeding is slowing right down too. Im not surprised though, I cant believe how much there has been.

Right better do some work. I will try and get used to you all. Its easier when I am at work and not at home I can get on more lol !

Hey chocs how did dr go?

urban soo know exactly where you're coming from on the DH front but mine is starting to buy into it as I think he's realised it's the easiest way to stop me being so mental! Haha my DH drinks grapefruit juice because he actually likes it!! Whoop!

batty good luck with exams today!

in-between hugs for you. One of the things I'm saddest about is that so far going for a scan has been a sad upsetting experience. I'm hoping one day soon I can be one of the excited couples smugly rubbing my tummy :(

kt don't worry- I've only been keeping up cos I'm off sick with the cold from hell, it's almost impossible if you've been away all day!

choccy good luck at dr today, it sounds a bit like kidney infection to me, let us know how you get on.

Hugs to everyone, sounds like we're all having a bit of a wobbly time at moment, hopefully today will be better. Lucky for you all that I don't think colds can be spread through mumsnet, otherwise I would have stuck to a wave instead :)

Chocky poor you, glad you are going to get seen to asap. Having a BFN would indicate that it is unlikely to be ectopic however you cant rule it out completely as some people do test BFN initially (HCG levels are lower than in normal pregnancy) It is still poss to have ectopic and AF though, if you did it would be lighter than a normal period . Have you got a stash of tests? If the pain gets worse its worth doing another one.

Have you got any other symptoms, feeling dizzy? feinting? shoulder pain?

Whats A & E like in Germany? Do you feel bad enough to want to go get seen now?

Sorry you are feeling worried, I realise I am probably not helping with all these questions... The main thing is you are going to the docs and that is good.

Let us know how you get on xxx

Hi peeps
KT don't worry about keeping up with everything. Yes things move fast and I was baffled in the beginnng. I've not been in all day and can't believe how much is going on today.

I'll keep it short n simple today.
Hugs too all who need em.
Like "fanjo" Personally call it my powderpuff. (was a uni girls thing and name we invented back in the good old days).

Feeling crap again. Now having major wobble. You know I've been feeling sick for the past week .... Now tonight my bottom of back is hurting and I can hardly move. Am tucked into bed. so my assumptioN is kidney infection ....... Friend just said it might be ectopic Pregnancy but I had BFN and AF. I'm sure you get none of those two..... J Have been googling like a mental hypocondriac. Am off to the docs at 8 am. 7
hours to go. Hope they will have an answer.

Sorry for MeMe but I'm a bit worried.

Hello everyone - I am actually finding this thread really hard to keep up with

PinkFF - I am ok, thanks for asking, well okish. I am still bleeding from MC which started 5 weeks ago and found out today I am anemic which is another reason why I am feeling so crap.

Forgot to say how amused I am by "fanjo" too Never mind everyday conversations who can get it into a POEM? Where is our residential poet?

PFF I'm glad to read about your BFN, this time at least. Like you I never used to scrutise bodily functions with such vigour so no idea about clots but advise from others sounds reassuring.

Nickster and AR I'm sure I can remember a cycle after my first MC where I had obscene amounts of EWCM for well over a week. Maybe its just one of those things with your body settling back down again? Best of luck to you Nick and PFF with your adventures in charting! And a whoop for a positive opk Nick, is DH home tomorrow - that should be ok?

Inbetweener 36 is nothing! That's a bit of an extreme reaction from your GP but glad she took some sensible action at least.

MummyA i am at a loss about what to say about your RTD. No wonder you are at the end of your tether. Sounds like you need someone different to check you out, must be so frustrating not getting answers. Try not to get hung up on the scarring suggestions, although I know you will be desperate for answers. Everything crossed it arrives soon and your cycles settle down.

Apples no idea about sleeping rememdies. Try your best not to think about things too much, bedtime is always bad for that I know. This time round I am doing much better at pretending this isn't happening. My first pregnancy after MC I totally stressed out thinking about what could go wrong and it did no good. This time I have managed to put it out of my mind and even after the first good scan am trying not to get too carried away.

Wombat hope you're ok pal, we all know that feeling x

Urban men are stupid. Someone else's DH said to her that getting pregnant isn't a science. Doh!

Hope everyone else is well x

(Wanders off to bed pondering how you could every insert 'fanjo' in an every day conversation.)

me three wombat I spent the morning cuddling the orphan babies down the park, they live nearby and come every day. I tell myself that we go so that DS can play with them, but I think its me who wants to spend time with them more than he does!

Nix - No dont worry! It was a lovely post, every one has said lovely things actually.(Thank you guys ) I do think I just need to calm down, go and see a new gyne (booked for Thurs evening) and its true that AF could still come but I think its time to go get help rather than wait around for it, its the waiting thats been driving me nuts.

and WHOOP WHOOP for ov! and WHOOP WHOOP for cervix check! I know you want DH here but sex up to 5 days pre ov is still good timing, and you did get some in didnt you? FX!!

apple If you can get some, dried hops works a treat. Put some in a net bag near your pillow, add dried lavender if you want it to smell nicer. Its VERY effective, originally discovered because hops pickers were always found asleep on the job! If you cant get any try a relaxing herbal tea, its more effective if you are not drinking alcohol or caffine though.

Jamface thanks for reminding me about alternative stuff, I have a bottle of red clover blossom in the cupboard that I had forgotton about. Will get back on it, but as ovulation doesnt seem to be the problem, not sure if it will really help. I think I might start looking for an acupuncturist too...

loola2shu I took Progendo 100mg twice a day. It actually worked for me 2 years ago, I had an ERPC for retained placenta after DS was born, didnt get my period for 6 months, took progesterone and it came back fine. I did have a slightly overactive thyroid at that time though, so it was a different situation. Whats BCP? Should I ask my gyne about it on Thurs?

Had an amazing massage, DH has found a new gyne for me and booked me an appointment, its been gorgeous weather all day (v unusual for rainy season) and am generally feeling much better than I did this morning.

O his mummy!! keeps him stocked up with a regular supply if vits... In fact we have a stockpile of around 8 packs...... Will check the labels tomorrow...if needed will tempt him with lots of mixed nuts( a few extra brazil thrown in) he won't be able to resist!!

Well as per usual the bottle is half empty.... Yuck just thinking how horrible his next drink of wine must of been!!! Didn't stick around currently in bed huffing due to stupid male comments regarding TTC, it takes time, leave your body alone, stop reading crap, & filling it with pills.....ARSE HOLE.... as he happily tucks into another friggin glass of red...
Will however eat the pain and continue with the gf experiment if he's a bit nicer may even up grade to a nicer mixed juice....
