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!

Welcome bug and good luck for Fridays scan

Welcome allchik - after my first loss, I felt exactly how you say. I mean, you know these things happen but they don't happen to you -surely they only happen to other people. Knocked me sideways :( congrats on your bfp :) I've had 5 scans with this pregnancy (currently 16 weeks), some NHS some private and the private ones were well worth the money for putting my mind at rest for 5 minutes

GPB good luck tomorrow. 'try not to think about it too much' is classic advice I have heard many times - useless, but I'm sure he means well and just doesn't know how to help you thru it.

mumtum I've been thinking of you today - hope you are ok. Xx

GrandPoohBah · 23/05/2012 11:43

I hope it goes well for mumtum and everyone else is enjoying the sun. I have Real Life biscuits and flapjacks for breakfast which I'm most excited about!

So, after my horrible dream yesterday of waking up in a pool of blood, this morning before waking up I dreamed (dreamt?) that I had to have an ERPC but the first available date would be the 1st August.

I know I'm stressing out about the scan tomorrow afternoon but it's quite distracting and I can't even get away from it when I sleep. I told DH that it was on my mind and he told me to try not to think about it too much. Because of course it's that easy. Grr.

I stopped feeling sick on Sunday (11+6) which I know is normal but I'm worried about that too. Ugh. .

leedy · 23/05/2012 11:29

Thinking of mumtum, hope everything goes well.

BTW, would anyone who is still TTC and has not yet entered the mosh pit like either or both of:

  • Clearblue digi ovulation test (one of the packs with 7 sticks, only one used the month I got pregnant, possibly has mystical preg juju)
  • Half bottle of Solgar B50 vitamins

I can stick in the post to whoever replies first. This thread has been so helpful I feel like I should pass something on!

pebspop · 23/05/2012 11:14

allchik welcome to the crazy world of pg after mc. everything you are feeling is normal. i know it's hard not to worry.

can you get scans at your local epu? since i had my first mc i can go for scans every couple of weeks to try and put my mind at ease or at least spot a mmc before i get to the usual scans.

mumtum thinking of you today.

strange things are going on today (again!)- what i thought was af has now stopped wtf? i might book in with my gp to have a chat about it all. i only had a week between spotting ending after last af and this weird bleed yesterday. i might start temping again to try and get a grip on whats happening. my cheap acu sessions have finished now so i might go back to my old guy but it gets quite expensive.

allchik · 23/05/2012 10:45

Hello all, aw man I am freaking out big style! Had a mmc back in Feb (13wks baby had died at 6/7) Was the worst time of my life and completely shocked me to the core....had the sweet naievity and excitement of a first time mum and didn't think for one second that 'this would happen to me'. then a few weeks ago tested positive again!! I just feel as though i am walking through quicksand and that every day is lasting FOREVER....just want to rush forward to a time when my pregnancy is well along in its journey and I can relax and breathe (if that ever does really happen!!) We paid for a private scan on Monday to try and calm me down...was amazing, they dated me to be 7 weeks and there was a strong heartbeat and I swear it was the best blob I have ever seen but this is the thing....now I have seen it, Im so scared of getting my hopes up, I feel guilty for not being excited about it, but I think I just have major barriers up...I want this sooo much that Im just 'waiting' for it to all go wrong again. Im having pretty severe sickness and Im shattered....so i guess I should find comfort in these symptoms....so sorry to moan but Im guessing you all know what this feels like!!? Next scan is on the 20th June....don't know if I can wait that long!!

ConfusedMumDotCom · 23/05/2012 09:23

Hi Martha waves. Yes I'm the the aptly named WTF cycle. I feel terrible today and am trying not to get too excited. It may well turn out to be a bug! I know people in RL who got PG in a WTF cycle, and I think I had pink cm around the time I jumped spent some quality time with my DH. My plan is to wait until the weekend, then try and wait some more. It's too distracting though.

BlueCrane · 23/05/2012 09:13

Bags all packed martha and was really wondering if things were starting yesterday but now back to nil, nada, nothing in terms of braxtons or period type crampy pains...which did mean I got some sleep last night but is a tad frustrating as I'd quite like to just get on with it all now...but at 39+1 there's still plenty of time...and at least I feel a bit more human today rather than the grumpy zombie I was yesterday Smile

MarthasHarbour · 23/05/2012 09:10

confused am i correct that you are in the WTF cycle? this could be good as your hormones are still raging and many ladies on this thread have conceived in that time - good luck for the weekend Smile although IC's are the work of the devil, mine all said negative until about 5 weeks

MarthasHarbour · 23/05/2012 09:08

blue we are like grannies at the WI cake sale fighting for the breakfast glory Grin

MarthasHarbour · 23/05/2012 09:08

beat you blue although we now have a fantastic array of breakfast delights!

how are you blue you are next on the thread lady got your bag packed? all ready to rumble?? Hmm

BlueCrane · 23/05/2012 09:07

X post with you martha double breakfast offerings!! And huge GrinGrin at you being 5+2!

ConfusedMumDotCom · 23/05/2012 09:07

TWW symptom spotting...

I have a funny taste in my mouth, feel a bit hungover and have an upset tummy Blush. I has this with DD and my MC. Coupled with constant peeing, I have convinced myself I'm PG. Hope has taken over from sense. Please can someone give me a reality check? I'm planning on waiting until the weekend before I test.

Urgh I feel rough.

MarthasHarbour · 23/05/2012 09:07

mumtum thinking of you today xx

BlueCrane · 23/05/2012 09:06

Just dropping in to say that I'm thinking of you today mumtum

MarthasHarbour · 23/05/2012 09:06

excellent stats leedy i am another old bird, this LO is due a week before my 40th birthday! which is ironic really because i couldnt celebrate my 30th properly as i was in the middle of exams and i will be celebrating my 40th with a newborn rather than in Bruges (which is where DH was going to take me) not that i am complaining as i am 5+2 today woo hoo!

WhyAlwaysBoris · 23/05/2012 07:08

kirrin hope you are feeling better, must have been embarassing as well as worrying.

welcome to bugsylugs sorry about your m/c's and good luck for friday's scan.

thanks for the advice- this is actually what i did yesterday - via email- (can't do anything there i haven't got written proof of or they just lie!) it sounded quite rude- if this person is x they are not to have contact with my notes- but not a lot of other options at this point.

mumtum I am thinking of you today. lots.

bugsylugs · 23/05/2012 06:57

mumtum you will be in my thoughts today

bugsylugs · 23/05/2012 06:53

Hi gate crashing hope you do not mind. To give boris some ? Advice I would contact PALS they are patient advisory team or similar in the hospital are for the patient. They should be able to find out if this lady is indeed the one you have had dealings with in the past. If she is they should be able to sort out someone else for you to contact instead. Sorry you have had such a rubbish time appalling treatment.

Just so you know I am not some crazed lady. Have had 4 mc and poss failing pregnancy now at 7 weeks, slow heartbeat, small foetal pole and haemorrhage. Rescan Friday. May join this thread if you do not mind but can be pretty rubbish at posting. Also I really am an old bird

StateofConfusion · 23/05/2012 00:28

Thinking of you tomorrow mumtum I was terrified waiting for my erpc, but I found the time in hospital very healing, I finally got to rest and deal with it all. And came home feeling sore and sad but a little bit more together. Take care xxx

kirrinIsland · 22/05/2012 22:59

Welcome back midget - and thanks for the sunshine:)

Great news leedy those are great odds

mumtum I'll be thinking of you tomorrow xxx

Well, I had an interesting day at work today - I fainted in the middle of the office. I was a little embarrassed Blush quick trip to the mat unit confirmed very low blood pressure, but I did get to hear a baby heartbeat - every cloud has a silver lining.

ConfusedMumDotCom · 22/05/2012 22:53

ConfusedMumDotCom · 22/05/2012 22:52

Hoorah for old birds! I'm (whispers) 37 this year. So impressed with Leedy's NT results. There is hope for us all.

boris I've just read your other thread. I'm so sorry you and you DH have been put through that. It makes me so cross you were treated in that way.

Busy day tomorrow. Sleep well everyone. hands out steaming mugs of hot chocolsye

YikesHereWeGo · 22/05/2012 22:16

Mumtum - good work today re referrals & white lies; am v impressed! But dead sorry for the bad news. Best of luck for tomorrow, hope it all goes by quickly and you can start to forget about the horridness ASAP.

Leedy - brilliant stats, you lucky thing. Am pleased to see another pushing-40-er on this thread. I'm not far off...

As for me, still bleeding, still positive hcg, still waiting. Got some new gadgets in the post today - a thermometer and ovulation testing kit, so as soon as I can I'll be charting & plotting like a good'un. Got to have something to focus on eh?

Had wedding dress fitting today, was all a bit weird as had to explain weight fluctuation (went up lots, then down a bit, now just have wonky boobs!) and the dress fitter (who knew about the mc) just kept saying crazy things like "don't worry, at least you fit into your dress" but is very young so obviously doesn't "get it". Went down the pub with boyf afterwards, but as ever ended up a bit tiddly & talking about how much I want a baby, with him saying you only get what you want when you forget about how much you want it. There's probably a lot of truth in that, but I find it so hard to forget how much I want a baby. Catch 22?

Midgetm · 22/05/2012 22:07

Evening Senoras, I am back from Spanish Spain and I packed some sunshine to bring back with me. So much to catch up on but I just wanted to say good luck to Mumtum I will be thinking of you.

MrsPear knowledge is power - take the scan. You know it makes sense.

Update on Syphilisgate - the hospital called and I do not have it (ok so I knew I didn't have it but nice to be told and stop me crazily googling to see if you can catch it in a sauna...). What I do have is raised liver counts so I need to have a whole other batch of tests to make sure no problem now that will affect the baby and that the dreaded PE doesn't strike me again. Anyways - here I am. No more bleeding and I am still pregnant. Blimey - roll on viability - maybe I will just sleep in a cave till about 25 weeks.

Will catch up with all I have missed (and it looks like a lot) soon. Night night all.
