Battery fantastic news on the BFP!! First step towards your take home baby!

Snoppy Duggs Comedy and Scooter I will see you this afternoon at the Royal Oak in Farnham Common at 2.30pm. Looking forward to seeing you all - not sure how we will recognise each other! How did the London ladies recognise each other?!

digitalgirl · 09/12/2011 20:32

oh choccy big ((((((hugs)))))) for you Sad. I really think taking time off work is a good idea. Then you can spend the week crying and screaming into your pillow and be all refreshed for Christmas. I'm having a bit of a cry here for you as I remember so clearly that feeling of helplessness and utter utter misery at having to go through it all again.

scooter relish those inexplicably fine moments. Hopefully there will be more and more of those till the rubbish bits in between are barely there.

batteryhen · 09/12/2011 19:55

choccy Your post is so sad, I feel for you :( You have had a really rough time so do feel free to rant and be sad on here. Did you go out in the end? I hate having to put on a brave face for everyone when actually all you want to do is howl. xx
kittens How are you my love? I know how you feel about having to SWI when all you want to do is turn over and go to sleep . Your poor mum too, shingles is bad enough on it's own without all the other stuff she is going through xx
sue my dp works away during the week too so I used to pounce on him frequently :) But it does become stressful and takes the edge off things too x
ari any blood test news?
free how are you feeling tonight?

I am ok, I have seen my GP and got all my meds prescribed. I am going to book a scan at 6 weeks with my nhs consultant, who has said I can be scanned when I like, but I think I might not have another till 12. I will book to see MR S at 9 weeks which is what Louise said I could do. I hope everyone else is ok xxx

Coconutfeet · 09/12/2011 19:24

Choccy, you've done amazingly to get through the week at work. Remember your hormones will be doing crazy things too on top of the pred, so it's not surprising you're feeling so awful after the week you've had. Are BIL and SIL sympathetic? Big hugs. It's a shitty, shitty time.
Sue I meant to say that I can sympathise with the stress between you nad dh. My dp went through a phase of feeling quite resentful that I was "using" him. Your dh has had such a lot of loss recently too. I think it can be really hard for blokes if they feel they can't open up to their friends.
PQ I hope you stop bleeding soon.

ChoccyPud · 09/12/2011 18:23

Ari bugger, sorry I missed you off just now... Have you got your results back yet? I really really hope it's ok and they can confirm its not an ectopic. Your poor veins :(

ChoccyPud · 09/12/2011 18:20

Hi all. I've just been lurking the last few days, not really got much to contribute at the moment except to let rip with my own crap. Which I'll do in a sec if you'll forgive me.

Great news battery - on to the next step. Get those intralipids down you ASAP! Fingers crossed for you. :)

free I know it's a wobbly time for you and I'm really rooting for you that everything's ok with this pg. Everyone else has said it but you know the Pred masks the symptoms.... Maybe a second trimester lady can add some reassurance about lack of or disappearing/changing symptoms for you??

lemonsherbert I'm totally with you on the difference this thread has made to me these last few months. Do you have a date for your next appt to get your results? It'll feel good just to have a plan of action in place.

scooter you are way braver than me. And am salivating at the thought of homemade chocolate brownies!!

digi that dream sounds horrible. kittens I've no idea how you are coping with everything you're dealing with right now, massive hugs coming your way... Take care of yourself, you're under loads of stress right now.

Well I've made it through the week at work. Had a half day so got home and melted about 2pm. It's dh's work Xmas party tonight, which partners are invited to. It's only a shall business so it's about 20 in their group for a dinner-drinks-disco job at a hotel near their office in Hants. I'd put off making a decision whether to go until I got home from work today, as I just haven't been able to focus on anything other than what was right in front of me and just wanted to get my working week over and done with. Somehow I've managed to do 4.5 really busy days incl 3 client events (game face was plastered on for those I can tell you) and am brain dead now. So, decided I just couldn't face going along, I don't feel remotely christmassy or like putting a happy face on for people I don't know well. Or like having a meltdown in front of them.

Dh needs a blow out too and I didn't want to stop him going. He's offered to not drink so he can drive back rather than stay over if I need him. Said I'd let him know how I feel about 7.30/8 ish but it would feel hugely unfair to him to drag him back when he could really do with a bit of fun.

We're babysitting for dh's brother tomorrow night. We've sorted it so I'll go over after Strictly(!) to join him, so I don't have to mess around putting the kids to bed, but I'm worried I'll lose it while we're there, which is fine, BIL and SIL know, but I hope they don't take the piss and stay out til really late meaning we can't get home to go to bed. I'm still waking up stupidly early with 30mg Pred and the last couple of days had woken up to v depressing vivid dreams that set me off crying which is a lovely start to the day. I feel the emotional meltdown coming and I don't know if I'll be up to leaving the house tomorrow, which means another evening on my own if BIL doesn't play ball to a call from dh to get him back from his night out so dh can come home to me. But at the same time it feels rather selfish to think about telling them they need to cut their evening short because of me. why is everything such a fecking mess?

At least the bleeding seems to have stopped so I guess the physical side is nearly over. It's just that the cycle of trying to hold down a job, within reason ( I will take time off if I need to) and "time" or hold in the meltdowns for when I'm at home is so utterly exhausting and I'm drained as it is after a year of pg/mc, weight gain, drugs, generally feeling run down and let down by my body.

Sorry to rant on, I'm having a really shitty day.

I've updated my stats below to add in my first four pred cycles' record as I think it's useful for the full extent of our collected experience to be recorded ie that at one end we've got people at third trimester and at the other, those wttc having had mc's on Pred. It isn't a magic bullet - don't get me wrong, I know this mc could've been any of the normal reasons, and I am not giving up on Dr S or Pred - but there are no guarantees.

Coconutfeet · 09/12/2011 17:03

Wow, great news Battery. I think we needed something to be cheerful about on here!! Fingers are tightly crossed for you. I know you can?t let go yet, but can we be excited for you at least?

Ari ? I?m really sorry to hear your news. I know you knew what was going on but it?s still a blow. I?m not sure if I?ve missed it but what are they doing to rule out an ectopic? Could it be retained ?products?? I had that after an ERPC and it took a while for my levels to go down.

Scooter ? was the baby visit OK? How are you doing?

God Kittens, you really do have a lot on your plate. Sorry to hear about your mum. I hope you get to spend Christmas at home with her.

Sorry for all of you who are struggling at this time of year ? Kittens, Ari, Scooter, Choccy. Christmas is so significant, it?s so difficult when you?ve got bad associations with it. I was pregnant at Christmas last year and I know I would have found it really hard this time round if we were still ttc so really feel for you. Sad

Digi ? I?m so glad that the baby?s bouncing around for you again. I remember a couple of anxious days like that when pregnant with ds. Makes me shiver.

Brilliant that you?re at your third trimester Stogan. Those fears just don?t go, do they. I don?t think any of us will relax until we?ve got our babies in our arms. I had to get a doula to keep me calm when I was in labour with ds as I was terrified that it was all going to go wrong in the delivery room.

Well I finally got my assignment handed in and feel like I?m going to collapse with exhaustion. Every waking minute this week when I?m not at work or looking after ds has been spent sweating over the bloody thing, or doing marking for school. I really need to take some time out for this baby?s sake if nothing else. I?ve booked a much needed haircut tomorrow as I look like a right old state at the moment. Grown out roots, bags under eyes and ridiculous comedy boobs that seem to have sprung out in the last week or so! It?s probably just as well I didn?t make it on Tuesday, as they?d never have let me in the Charlotte Street Hotel.

Arianrhod · 09/12/2011 13:21

kittens so sorry to hear about your mum, fingers crossed she responds quickly to the treatment. You are unbelievably amazing, holding it together despite everything you're going through. What a woman!

scooter Oddly I also had a spell this morning of feeling "just fine" about everything, even dare I say it full of hope for the next attempt. Then I remembered the pred side effect of "inappropriate happiness", and decided it was that Grin Shall we be inappropriately happy together? :)

free I was thinking exactly the same thing this morning ... one year on, and the only thing to show for it is a whole lot more knowledge, a complete dearth of naiivety about the whole process (I was so, so naiive this time last year), weight gain that I really didn't need and too many drugs been in my system. Onwards and upwards, though, right? Hoping you'll get through the psychological 7-week threshold very soon, and this baby is here for the long-haul! The problem of course with the pred masking pregnancy symptoms is you don't have the odd reassurance of constant nausea/boob soreness, which just adds to your stress. You have your next scan next week, right? Waiting on the good news from that one then!

As for me, well back I trudged to NLC this morning, thankfully they found one vein left in my arm that they could access and yet more blood was duly taken with little drama. Saw Mr S briefly in the waiting room, he came over for a quick chat which I thought was nice of him, and he says we'll have the results (and that of my NK cells retest) this afternoon. But he said he didn't anticipate any problems, they just had to make sure.

Stogan · 09/12/2011 13:19

Woo hoo battery congrats Hunni what great news for a Friday, well for any day !!!GrinGrinGrin

Digi I had the same dream at about 22 weeks, had it a couple of times and woke myself up screaming and crying was awful, ull be pleased to know it does stop tho!! Xx

Well can't believe I'm on the eve of 3rd trimester, how the hell did that happen??? Can't honestly say I feel any less stressed tho. My friend had a little boy this morning and I cried so much. So pleased for her but can't help thinking something will still go wrong for me at the birth or something , how negative is that. Guess I still just can't actually believe this is happening !!

Sorry to be negative, hope everyone has a lovely weekend planned xxxx

freelancegirl · 09/12/2011 12:40

Things moving too fast for my hormone-addled brain round here.

Ari, so sorry about the further investigations needed. When will you know? That?s the last thing you need.

And Scooter, sorry that having it all confirmed was upsetting. It is bound to be. Glad you are feeling better now though, gosh well done looking at the baby clothes. I have barely ever dared to go into a baby shop! Every now and then I allow myself to dream I might one day need to buy some cute little outfits but I slam it out of my head (in some weird fucked up manner I guess?.) befoe I get tearful.

Hello Lemon! Am looking forward to your results too. When is your appointment? I will see if anyone has added you to the list. I think I keep screwing it up, again brain not working very well. BTW I am actually sucking on a sherbet lemon as we speak. Had to get some to sweeten up the weird sickness feelings.

DIgi, what an awful dream! Pregnancy dreams are so vivid too aren?t they.

Battery, thank god for some good news round here! A BFP! Well done, it?s the first step. Come join the mentalling, we are here for hand holding. Stop testing. I only got one faint positive at 14DPO and never tested since. And whether it lasts or not, there has definitely been a baby there!

Kittens am so sorry to hear your mum has an infection on top of everything else that is going on.

Christmas seems to take on some significance for all of us this year. A bit of a ?this time last year? thing going on. My LMP from the first mc of 2011 was Boxing Day. I cn?t believe I a year has passed and so much has happened with nothing to show for it apart from weight gain and a body that feels a bit racked with drugs and stress.

PQ I can relate to those urges to post the truth on facebook! I just leave it to inane comments and chit chat but sometimes I want to put something shocking on there about what is really going on?

Well, I feel worryingly un-sick and un-tired and un-boobs sore today and it?s freaking me out. 7.3 is exactly the same time that 2011 baby no 1 kicked the bucket. I have ACTUAL work to get on with so best get ready and get filming.

Cocoon House comfort to all xx

PQ77 · 09/12/2011 12:28

So sorry that your mum is ill and in hosp kittens - on top of everything shingles is the pits. Have also done the crying thing mid swi - bit of a mood killer Sad

PQ77 · 09/12/2011 12:24

Great news battery! I hate that postive tests can be so faint, i wish I could do a home hcg test on the spot. But the cb result must hav been reassuring.

What a horrible dream digi - hope you are better rested today (and no more wind! Have you tried peppermint tea?? Baby might like it!)

scooter you are a much bigger person than I am - I have vacuum packed away all baby stuff in the loft and I won't give it to anyone but my sisters
(and even then I fetch it back). I am dreading my SIL getting pregnant and expecting car seats and all the kit - of which we have loads. Maybe then I can say I've given it away hehehe.

Arm still bleeding through the dressing where they took off the dodgy mole- but am reassuring myself that i'm unlikely to bleed to death - bit gung ho about anything non pregnancy or mc related really. Am also just too embarrassed to tell the consultant I forgot to tell him i was on aspirin.

In a cafe and have just got maple syrup all over my new iPad - shall I post on Facebook about how crap my life is? Grin

Havingkittens · 09/12/2011 12:15

Didn't get much chance to get on here yesterday as I was on a job. It was a really nice day at work, although everyone on the shoot spent a lot of the day talking about their kids.

Thanks for suggestions about getting tests done in France. The problem is that my parents live in a rather remote rural village so there isn't really any "popping" anywhere going on. Just going to the shops is a bit of a mission, 20 minutes in the car to the nearest town (where, coincidentally Scooter's uncle lives - did I remember that right?). I don't drive over there so it would mean my stepdad driving me which would mean leaving my mum alone, which isn't an option. Mind you, she's back in hospital again as of yesterday so there's always the chance we will be spending Christmas in the hospital. God, I bloody hope not! I am due on around Christmas day/Boxing day. Flying home on Boxing day but then spending a couple of days down in Sussex with my granny & auntie. Does anyone know, do these tests all need to be done in the same cycle?

Scooter, that must've been hard sorting out all the baby stuff. The 'suspiciously fine' aspect may well be the post mc numbness that I think can be quite helpful in a weird way. The body or mind's defense mechanism.

Ari, how are you doing? I really hope that things settle for you soon and that this isn't an ectopic. What a nightmare. You poor thing.

I think I'm on day 10 now and started SWI last night. It's such a big fat headfuck for me just now. I actually nearly burst into tears halfway through but managed to hold it together until afterwards and then broke down. Just the overwhelming thought that there are going to be so many times where we are supposed to be SWI and I would rather be curled up crying into my pillow. So not in the right frame of mind for sex when my mum has been taken back into hospital with another infection just a few days after she has finished her 3 weeks of hardcore IV antibiotics from the last infection. They also think she has shingles. I just feel so rotten for her and so scared as things seem to be getting worse. I just don't know how I'm doing to manage to TTC through all of this Sad.

I feel pretty weird about Christmas too. This time last year I was going through my last miscarriage, with the waiting between scans, "there might be something there but we have to wait a week to see" "oh no, we were right, there's nothing, sorry." etc. The Christmas before I'd found out I was pg the day before Christmas eve and lost it in early Feb. This Christmas is going to be very emotional and I just hope it will at least be at my mum's house rather than around a hospital bed next to a stranger.

Sorry, me with the gloom again. I wish my bloody counseling appointment would hurry up and come through before I loose my mind!

snoopygirl · 09/12/2011 11:30

Scooter that sounds tough in light of recent events. you sound like your doing ok and hope today isn't too tough for you. If that's what the pred does for us bring it on!

I also feel quite chipper today, looking forward to holiday next Wed and seem really organised with presents which is so not me. Started taking 2nd round of pred yesterday and it doesn't seem to have given me that manic heart racing thing like 1st round did. Sometimes it builds though. Told OH that he will have to carry all important docs at airport as I will probably forget what I did with them.
Off to friends tonight (she is 31 with 4 kids, pops them out at home everytime like peas!) Her youngest is 3 today and yet again I was pregnant and annouced it stupidly when she was 12 weeks (I thought I was 9) with him. what really made me upset was to find out she called him the name I had in mind for second child, felt a bitted robbed over that one, stupid I know.
Thankfully I don't feel any jealousy over other women with babies although I know I am so lucky to have DS so that helps. Can't imagine what you ladies are going through trying to have just one child. I;m sure I would feel whole lot different.
Our friend is also one of these women that are really laid back bohemiem types that doesn't seemed to get stressed about anything - now that does make me envious.

scooterchaser · 09/12/2011 09:58

battery great news, first baby step on the way. Anyone else living vicariously through their pred thread buddies' good news, I am delighted as if it were my BFP!!

Surreal morning on a pred-surge spent unpacking my baby clothes, blankets and feeding pillow etc from the attic and making chocolate brownies, now off with my haul to visit a brand new baby, feeling suspiciously fine :)

Thank you everyone :)

I do want to feel excited but am concerned about the line - but not to the point of being completely mental ...yet!

duggs - This means that it will be you next month - we are indeed twins!
digi and charlie I am 13 dpo. I tested as my temp was still up today and I did actually have some breast tenderness yesterday. I have also started sneezing a lot which sounds weird but that is a symptom I always get.

I am seeing my GP today to get another script of pred, and my clexane jabs. I also need to get progesterone supposotries too. I am going to a friends tonight for wine??! and its dp's xmas do tomorrow too, but I am happy not to drink of course!
digi you can be happy - I will just stay a bit cautious if thats ok!

Congratulations Battery!!! How many dpo are you?

What's on your treatment plan then?

digitalgirl · 09/12/2011 07:19

battery !!!!!! Congratulations! About time too! Keep calm about the faintness and let's just wait and see. Can I be excited for you? How many dpo are you? Ha! I knew it from the 'def don't feel pregnant' remark the other day, classic pre-bfp line.

Morning duggs

Just popping in quickly before work. Hope everyone is ok digi glad you are more ressured now, you made me smile with the wind!

Just quickly from me - I got a bfp today. Holy crap. I did a normal one and the line was so faint I doubted it was even there, but a cb digi said 1-2 weeks so I hope it is not a chemical xxx

Had a bit of a strange day today. Woke up after a nightmare where I thought I lost the baby but it turned out I was hallucinating Sad. Just a dream, and I suppose not surprising given recent events.
So was worried for most of the day and also didn't feel much movement. Then felt really unwell this evening, which upset me and made my cry. Turned out to be wind Grin. Baby wriggling loads now. Poor thing was probably trapped amongst the gases!

ari sorry to hear your hcg isn't behaving. Perhaps once your lining has completely shed it'll reset itself.

scooter sorry about your shitty day too. Get planning that holiday in Jan - sounds like just the thing to take your mind off enforced Christmas jollity.

sue I had acupuncture from ttc through to 12 weeks pregnant. I recommend it if you want help regulating cycles.

PQ ouch! Hope bleeding arm has healed or at least scabbed over.

duggs I check this thread at least 30 times a day! It's usually the first thing I do before getting out of bed (via phone). Hmmm, perhaps I too am addicted.

Have added Lemon. But have done this on phone so apologies for any mistakes.
