Well I think after all our chatting its about time we had a new thread, as the previous one was very lucky for us, lets hope this one remains just as lucky.

Remember ladies - Our time will come, but our bodies have to be ready, and we are all here to support each other.

For those new people please feel free to check out our Stats thread, to see some info about us and leave you details if you want to.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

With the MC I didnt know I was pg until I went docs for more pills and they asked about nausea and I said I'd been feeling sick but not actually sick etc, they did pg test and told me I was pg, went for scan 2 establish how many wks and was told it was 10. But thats the furthest

Diddle · 29/09/2005 14:05

just been flicking through some other threads and found quite a few people saying that they didn't know they were pregnant until 25 wks, how on earth is this possible, ahve any of you had this? i can't imagine not knowing

coathanger - we had a mouse in the kitchen once and we found a small hole behind the dishwasher, i know you don't have one so you won't find it there, but check behidn the cooker washer etc for holes. Luckily for us it went back down the hole as it saw me coming for it. I hope its gone now, get little DS on a chair so it doesn't run up his leg sorry that won't help. erm i agree get a broom and shoo it out the door, hopefully it will be scared of you.

We found one caught in our mouse trap in the loft at the weekend, i felt so sorry for it, but i'm glad its gone.

you there coathanger, has it gone?

Poor mouse...... Doesnt stand a chance!

How is everyone this afternoon? What ya all doing?

slinkstah · 29/09/2005 13:27

arghhh coathanger- you must put traps down everywhere like behind cooker etc and check for holes everywhere and block them up.

also check your food cuboards for droppings and put food all away and in a high up cupboard.

mumswish · 29/09/2005 13:12

rats carry disease mice apparently arent that bad. Seriously tho, chase it out the door. It may come back but can you really bring yourself to kill it? Plus think of the mess

Coathanger · 29/09/2005 13:11

LOL Mumswish! But this is serious! I mean they carry disease don't they?! It can't be good fro the kids!

mumswish · 29/09/2005 13:10

Open a door, lift the chair up and chase it out of the house..... down the street shouting Thomas at the top of your voice.!! Ooo you have to hold a rolling pin aswel.

(like the woman off tom & Jerry)

Coathanger · 29/09/2005 13:03

Okay!! I have a HUGE problem - I know this has nothing what so ever to do with TTC but I need some tips!!

A big fat mouse (not a rat, not that big!) has just run past my feet and into the living room and is now hiding under the sofa!!! ARRRGGGHHHH!!! What should I do???????

Oooh, I hope someone sees this !!!!

babybloos · 29/09/2005 12:57

Hi everyone, so much happening once again and I have decided to keep computer on as much as poss to keep up with it! I am trying to teach dd 10.5mths the meaning of the word "no" when it comes to leads etc!

I love coathangers views on ttc, i too love sex and not ashamed to say it. I just think it is funny with dh who is so eager all the time but finds it weird when we know we are doing it when we should! I think it adds a wee bit of pressure...poor guy! I haven't even got to the stage of using ovulation testers yet, we are just guessing. I think the hammer and tongs approach has worked in the past so like some of the others we will carry on and wait until the 17th Oct to test.

When are the others testing this month?

Coathanger · 29/09/2005 11:55

Just a quickie in between stops -

Diddle, thanks for yesterday and helping me sort out my head! Still not had a reply to that email Never mind. But thanks for listening and being so good

Diddle · 29/09/2005 11:45

morning all - carameli - your feelings are totally normal, i was exhausted after my mc's and walking is fine as long as it doesn't make you feel worse, the fresh air is good. you can do anything you want, as long as its not too strenuous, don't want to wear yourself out.not much spare tiem today so may be back on later

Coathanger · 29/09/2005 11:21

I'm off for a bit now (when I say "bit" I don't mean a "bit ", I mean for a while!!). Got to take DH to dentist, then pick DS3 up from nursery , then collect DH from dentist then go to bank!! phew!! May be exhausted when i get back!....

Speak in a little while...

HumphreysCorner · 29/09/2005 11:18

Oh Carameli-lucky you living in Richmond-Oh to see the White Cross Pub once more. My uncle lived in Whitton, near Twickenham for many, many years but has now dared to move to Brighton. Up until DD was born 2 years ago I went every December with mum & dad to stay with him and do some Xmas shopping in Kingston. Always went to the White Cross on our last day. We will never go again now he has moved . Ah, what memories!

You try to rest, then have a walk round the park-not too far though.

Lottielou-sorry to hear you are going through bad times again. ((xx))

Coathanger · 29/09/2005 11:12

We're not moving home to Earls court, DH is just moving to that underground station He is an electrician and is working on the revamping of the Underground Staions. He has to commute every night from east coast of Kent.

Carameli · 29/09/2005 11:07

I'm in Richmond Coathanger. love it here but we are plannnig to move further out into Surrey next year.
I am tryingt to rest as much as possible, only been for short walks to the river terrace, the place with the nice view, its just around the corner. Am not so sure about going down into town if I am feeling this tired, its one thing going down but another thing pushing my dd up the hill again

Youare moving to Earls COurt, I grew up in Fulham.

Carameli · 29/09/2005 11:02

Lottie: just read your message(also watching SOmething SPecial on cbeebies with dd
Really hope it works out well for you..... Hope you get to have a good holiday.{{{{{hugs}}}}

Coathanger · 29/09/2005 11:00

Carameli - I was just thinking about you, Hun! Spooky! Are you looking after yourself? I know this might sound really patronising but you must take care of tyourself, eat properly, rest etc. I know I didn't and I paid for it. I felt soooo ill for ages after my MC because I didn't look after myself properly. Any way, I was thinking about you coz I have just seen your stats and notice your in SW london. Where abouts in SW? (if i've asked you this before, I'm sorry, but there seem to be quite a lot of ladies on MN from SW london and I can't remember who I've asked ) My DH works at Stamford Brook underground station (was at Turnham Green up until last Sunday, and will be moving onto Earls Court soon).

HumphreysCorner · 29/09/2005 10:59

Morning ladies

Have dropped the moaning DD at nursery-think I will accidently forget to collect her Oh, the constant screaming is soooooooooo bad! Do I really want another??????.......

YES !!!!

HellKat-I do so hope you aren't disappointed if you get a BFN. One of my friends had her AF for the 1st 3 months of her 3rd PG-didn't know she was PG until 4 months and wondered why Weight Watchers wasn't working! Don't know how heavy her AF's were. She lost baby no2 at about 6 months but no 3 was perfect. Good luck hun ((xx))

Prettybird-good luck with your testing as well. ((xx))

CHOCOLATEPEANUT-any more news? ((xx))

Missmibaby-where are you???????????? ((xx))

Sounds like I had quite an easy birth-25 hours start to finish with pethedine, gas and air and because DD got stuck and when the nice man stuck his hands up there he was unable to turn her had to have an epidural then a drip to counteract the epidural. Only about 4 stitches. Can't wait to do it again, and again. Hmm-36 next month so tick, tock, tick, tock.

Ooh, some more testers next week as well-let's try and have a record number of BFP's.

A huge welcome to Carmeli-hugs to you hun ((xx))

Must do some housework-trouble is when DD is at nursery I just want to put my feet up as it is so peaceful.

Going to finally see my friend's baby this afternoon-he is 6 weeks old now. She was always busy doing something when I tried to arrange visiting so hopefully will see him today. My other friend's little girl is just 1 week old so should see her next week. I am going to be brave.

Hello to Diddle, mumswish, slinkstah, babybloos, bubble99, Coathanger, maddyd, Lottielou, auntynon, peepee, Mojomummy and anyone else I may have missed. Hope everyone has a good day. Back later.

xxx

mumswish · 29/09/2005 10:57

Morning Lottie, Sorry to hear your not feeling too well but glad to hear you havent got an ectopic pg. Good luck with being pg this month, I soooo hope you are.

Coathanger - you're not the only one that loves sex, even tho we havent been ttc we still go at it hammer & tongs. Yet 2 try doing it in the kitchen tho..... hmmmm interesting. Mind u DB is so hygenic probably wouldnt agree to it.!!

Coathanger · 29/09/2005 10:56

Aww lottie {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{MASSIVE HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} sweetheart. That was the last thing you needed. In your heart of hearts what do you think it is? I know thats a really stoooopid question, but I always have an inkling with things, like when I had my MC (had spotting with other 3 PGs but when saw spotitng with this one I knew deep down it would turn out bad, iyswim). When is the soonest you could do a test, hun.

Oh, I really want to come to you and give you a big sqeeze. PLease know that I am hoping so much that this month is yours (and Diddles! ) XXXXXXXXXXXX

Carameli · 29/09/2005 10:53

hi all, this thread is a real boost in the morning. Dh working at home so needs to be online quite a bit so I will only be around every now and then.
I m/c last weekend, but today I am just feeling so exhausted and a little light headed. Is this ok?? Cannot remember feeling like this since I had dd.
Went for some short walks over the past few days as I thought it was ok to do that as I don't feel ill enough to be in bed but now wondering if its ok to do that or am I just worrying....

Lottielou · 29/09/2005 10:51

CH - Morning hun! I'm pretty crap to be honest! Went to the docs on Tues Eve to get my pains checked out, only to be sent to the Hospital on weds morning for a BHCG test as there was talk about an Ectopic Pregnancy. My head was screwed up all day and the pain is still there. Anyway, thank god i got he results back and it was clear. Phew.... however is till could be PG but wont know until the 8th Oct onwards. I asked if the BHCG test wud show if i was PG from this cycle and they said as my cycles are so irregular it wouldn't show yet.
The pains could be implantation pains, AF pains or even OV pains. Haven't a clue. They aren't so intense anymore tho, which is good. But was sick this morning so that made me feel quite crappy. Must be all the stress.
I am trying to think positively as i go on my hols tomo and the last thing i want is to be in pain and stressed!
I just hope if it is AF then she bloddy stays away while i'm on my hols!

Phew... that feels better!

How you doing?

P.s Sorry bout the spelling, cant be arsed to preview! lol

Coathanger · 29/09/2005 10:50

Oh, dear! Have I shocked you all into silence???

Coathanger · 29/09/2005 10:46

MORNING Lottie!!! Hows you today, hun?
