Continuation of the last thread.

There's cake for scoffing, backs for patting, and screeching death metal for all your metalling moments. All welcome so come on in and get settled into the plush sofas!

Dictionary:

So settle into the mosh pit, we have special VIP area's for those on the 2WW, the new bumps metalling with segregated areas for the first/second/third trimesters and the club class cocktail bar for those who have just got AF and can get-pissed let loose for the first two weeks!

The standard 'form' of the thread is the first one on in the morning brings the brekkie! Wink

And this will be a very special thread, it is the one where our first 'graduate' gives us our first bambino Go on IQ give us a twirl if-you can be arsed in your full term state

Thanks. Appointment is tomorrow lunchtime.

Felt a baby-kick about an hour ago so that's good but still prodding it metalling madly.

Tell me not to take my overnight bag to the hospital. I've packed it and it's looking at me. I shouldn't take it should I. I should be positive.

pebs I know what you mean about work I am SO de-motivated at the moment. Thankfully I'm only on a temporary freelance contract so I only have 10 weeks or so left there before I can pick and choose my own work and workplaces for the summer. Which depending on whether I'm still preg or not will obviously be different. Again, understanding your feelings in limbo. It's so hard to plan the future around MCs Sad Can you plan something to look forward to non-work related. It's what I always do when I feel like my future is out of control (it's what I did last week, booked a holiday)

pebspop · 02/04/2012 12:00

i probably did come back to work too soon really but i have a major problem with staying off. i never ring in sick so i really struggle to 'allow' myself the time off. i was off for two weeks with this one which is much longer than i have taken before. the last two mc's i just had a week off. i feel like the longer i am off the more people will notice and i don't want people to notice.

to be honest i felt like this after my last mc until i went back to the consultant and got some answers. i feel like i am in limbo.

i don't think staying at home all day will really help me as i like to keep occupied. i am just bored of my job which doesn't help.

... in the VIP area of the mosh pit

(sorry i hit send before finishing the sentence!)

missc when you said 17 weeks i did a for you too. You are metalling, yes, but this week you have every right to. You cannot ignore that this is a milestone for you, and as pebs said you need to get this week out of the way, it wont necessarily get less 'metal' but it is a milestone to hurdle over when is your appointment? i will fluff up the big cushions in the VIP area all ready for you.

pebs IMHO i think you went back to work too quickly, none of my business i know but i just think you need a bit more time to yourself. However if you are finding it easier to be at work than at home then do know that we are all here holding your hand. Shuffle on up next to missc

missc you aren't going crazy you are just having to deal with a fear that history will repeat itself. try to stay as positive as you can - i know it's hard.

when is your appointment?

once you get this week out of the way i hope you can feel more positive for the next 23 weeks.

welcome to the newbies and well done on the swi martha!!

i am not feeling very good today. i tried to have a nice weekend and went out with a friend on saturday and spent a lovely day with dh yesterday but i struggled to sleep last night and was just worrying about the future. will i ever get a baby, whats wrong with me - that kind of thing.

i feel like i could cry today and i really can't wait to get home from work.

i can't be bothered with my job at the moment and i am trying to keep it together but i just have no motivation at all.

i am hoping to go to visit raj rai's private clinic towards the end of this month. i hope my results come back soon for the fetal genetic testing after eprc, does anyone know how long this takes? i am going to ring epu this week to see if they have any idea when the results will be back.

MissCoffeeNWine · 02/04/2012 11:04

morning metallers. Welcome chloe and congrats on the BFP. Sorry about the MCs fizzy.

high fives martha on all the dutiful shagging Wink Glad you had a good time in London and made it to the gig.

tits good news but I hope you feel better soon.

I am metalling loads today, I have just hit 17 weeks (I know I know) so if I can carry this one until the end of the week it'll be older than mini-toe. But instead of being positive about this I'm metalling about not feeling as many movements as I was, losing fluid - yes I've figured out by now that it's surely normal in pregnancy but it doesn't help the metalling about it being my waters again. And I know aches and pains are normal but I'm metalling about them too. I have the big appointment and I'm freaking out about a repeat of them saying the baby isn't with us anymore Sad The more I think about it the more I can't breathe. I've packed an overnight bag for the hospital and haven't planned anything for this week in case I have to cancel it. Tell me I'm going crazy!

MarthasHarbour · 02/04/2012 10:14

and chloe congratulations! you are very welcome on this thread, there are lots of PG mamas on this thread too, heres to being scared shitless! Grin

Fizzy my only pregnancy I carried to term was on the WTF cycle and if you are unlucky enough to MC again then you should get an immediate referral to a RMC clinic where at least you may get some answers. Sorry you have had to join us but welcome to the club. x

MarthasHarbour · 02/04/2012 10:10

oh and welcome to the newbies, you are both very welcome on this thread Smile fizzy you are not being ridiculous at all, you are in the WTF cycle (where you havent got a clue where your dates/OV are) and a few of the bods on this thread have got PG in the WTF cycle. Good luck Smile

tits that is marvellous (about DH), is your DS from a previous relationship? in that is his father a carrier? tell me to mind my own beeswax if you like Wink also double marvellous to hear you are feeling barfy! it is all for the greater good.

GPB glad to hear your blob has not surfaced again! you will get all kinds of 'secretions' so i reckon that is what it was.

manda i am uber excited to see your pics, tho i too would be a bit Hmm at a pair of denim shorts in your condition

missc booyakashah

Well, i had a lovely relaxing time in London, my friend was exhausted so we just chilled in the hotel, she felt up to going to the gig in the end which was nice. I am just hoping and praying this chemo lets me keep her for another few years

As for me, well me and DH deserve VIP treatment, medals, special privileges etc etc because we SWI last Monday, Thursday, Friday and last night Shock we are considering tonight too just to finish off the job Hmm that is CD6, CD9, CD10 and CD12. Remeber that my cycles are short and i think i OVd on Friday (CD10) so FX it had better bloody work this month how-much longer do i have to shag my husband eh eh?

fizzycolabuba · 02/04/2012 10:05

Hi, can I join you ladies please?

I mc the middle of February at 7 weeks, fell pregnant straight after and have just mc again at 4.5 -5 weeks. Bleeding has now stopped and hpt negative again. Feeling totally drained. We have decided to try again this month and see what happens... Don't know if we're being ridiculous or not but fingers crossed!

We have two DD 7 & 4.

Midgetm · 02/04/2012 10:02

Choloe congratualtions. Let the metalling commence.

Tits Yay on CF and yay on feeling awful - feeling awful holds off metalling.

I also feel like pants, low level metalling as not constipated anymore. I know this can happen but it is freaking me out as not normal for me. Paranoid midget thinks this is a hormonal shift and therefore bad news. I have been two or three times already today (sorry way TMI). I don't have a stomach upset just before this I was going maybe every 3 days. Anyone else had this and it been ok? For me changes like this have normally been a bad sign Thank god I have a scan on Wednesday as even I can contain my madness for 2 more sleeps. The closer I get to 12 weeks the higher my metalling rate is getting. Not sure it will ever stop to be honest. I could be driving you all mental for the next 7 months (if I am lucky).

Heres to knicker checking, and now being on pooh watch.

TitsalinaBumSquash · 02/04/2012 09:46

Congrats Chloe just seen your last message, you're very welcome in the mosh pit Smile

Chloe55 · 02/04/2012 09:43

Great news tits Smile

TitsalinaBumSquash · 02/04/2012 08:53

Just got the call, DP doesn't carry the cf gene! Baby bean is safe from cf! Grin

GrandPoohBah · 01/04/2012 21:05

It's really annoying how feeling grim should be considered a good thing, isn't it?! Lots of sympathy for you, Tits, hopefully I'll be joining you shortly (I'm already there with the extreme breast pain...)

TitsalinaBumSquash · 01/04/2012 20:42

I feel really, really awful.

I know it's all good signs but this nausea is constant and really bad, my head is pounding and I can't stand anything touching my chest.

I can't sleep, an hours break is all I ask. SadSad

Chloe55 · 01/04/2012 20:41

Hi ladies, id like to join you please. Never thought I would find myself on here and not sure I 'belong' on this particular thread as its been 19months since my last mc. I haven't been on mn for such a long time but always prayed I'd get to join a thread like this again. My history is I have pcos and endometriosis, have been on clomid on and off for 7months, have a ds of 6yrs old, been trying for %232 for 5 years now, had 2 miscarriages and have found out I am ph this morning Grin. In total shock, am scared shitless and so happy at the same time. Here's to the next 8 months of knicker checking. Fingers crossed.

wrigle · 01/04/2012 20:07

GBP, "nothing until proven otherwise" is I think the only way to manage! Great that you have two sources of care at the moment!

I think I have slight mania at the moment. Bleeding seems to be coming to an end, today's day 17 since starting on the rollercoaster of hell. I can't stop poas the ovulation tests and started taking my temp two days ago only to watch it going haywire. Clearly too soon to be hoping to ttc again. But I've been on the net nonstop looking for clues as to how to read my body so I can start again and get back to the nirvana/hell of another pregnancy. I loved being tired and having stupidly sore boobs and waking a gazillion times to wee in the night. Who is this woman who up until last summer wasn't hoping to have a family?

GrandPoohBah · 01/04/2012 16:39

I was on complete knicker watch last night, and because pregnancy makes me damp I was in the edge of my seat for ages. BUT... No further bleeding, at all. No cramps, at all. And I've finally started to actually feel pregnant; my boobs are really sore, I'm ridiculously thirsty and I felt a bit lightheaded earlier while I was changing a lampshade. So, I've decided to class the blob as 'nothing until proven otherwise'. We have a scan at 7 weeks (and possibly next week as I appear to be under the care of the RMC AND a consultant for high-risk pregnancies in two separate PCTs?) and we won't know anything definitive until then.

Midgetm · 01/04/2012 10:24

GPB & Tits Hope you are managing the metalling. I freak every time any thing like that happens and I send you both huge hugs. I am currently low level mettaling as had some cramps (think more pooh related but then than freaked me out sorry for the TMI!). So many reasons for cramps and spotting lets just hope none of them are sinnister ones. We will ever stop knicker checking do you think? I still freak at every damp patch which as you all know when up duffed is a pretty constant state of affairs!

NoMoreMarbles · 01/04/2012 09:49

Morning ladiesSmile

Happy April fools day Smile

Hope everyone is well!!

kirrinIsland · 01/04/2012 09:42

GPB hope you're ok?
Titsalina I've some infrequent pains too - sort of stabbing pain right in the middle. I'm hoping it's digestive, but it does scare me every time it happens. Frequent knickers checking going on here too :(

TitsalinaBumSquash · 31/03/2012 19:58

GPB sorry to hear that Sad I hope it's all ok.

I have become a compulsive knicker checker since the very infrequent pains, a couple tonight so far, no sign of bleeding or anything else yet. Still waiting and seeing. Sad

pebspop · 31/03/2012 19:06

Fairy mine came back about 8 weeks after erpc. Had bleeding for two weeks then af came another 6 weeks after that. After my late mc it took twelve long weeks.

Hope yours is quicker!
