barking thinking of you Thanks

Thundercatsarego · 10/09/2013 08:14

Oh bunny Sad
Are you sure it's the start of af?

Bunnygirlie · 10/09/2013 08:08

Not a good start to the day here, pink when I wiped Sad i came out of bathroom and DH tried to be sweet and said Happy Anniversary + 1 and I blurted out its not very happy and burst into tears Sad Sad
I knew it was coming, I always do, so why am I always so upset, it's no surprise!?!

Now I feel bad having a woe is me moan when barking is going through hell, hugs for today lady x

Thundercatsarego · 10/09/2013 07:41

Another hand to hold here barking, thinking of you Thanks

yorkiebilb · 10/09/2013 07:36

Thinking of you barking

PoppySeedBun · 10/09/2013 07:30

barking fx for you - hoping for good news.

When I MCed, I just wanted to shut out the world and not deal with anyone - even on FB - for a few days, so make sure you do that if that's what is needed.
Re: Clomid, yes, I carried on as I already had a prescription for 6 months worth. I did let the FC know, as I had let them know I was PG, and they want to know for their records.

happylass · 10/09/2013 07:21

Barking just to echo what everyone else has said - thinking of you today and sending lots of love x

CatsCantFlyFast · 10/09/2013 06:54

Thinking of you too Barking. I am hoping against hope its not bad news for you, but if it is the berries will be waiting with all the support in the world x

barkingtreefrog · 10/09/2013 06:42

x-post Boom, thank you.

barkingtreefrog · 10/09/2013 06:41

Thanks rum.
I'm terrified. Had just about calmed myself down ready to sleep last night when DP said 'oh no, don't look at fb' which is a stupid thing to say Our mates just had their twins. Just as I was almost coping. It broke me, that and the crying of the newborn baby next door Sad . I just sobbed, and sobbed.
I think I'm going to need fb cold turkey for a while Sad .
I'm going to need berry power to pull me through this morning. Really not looking forward to the waiting room of pg woman.

Boomgoestheweasel · 10/09/2013 06:28

Popping in to say thinking of you this morning barking, whatever the outcome we are all here for you xxx

rumisyum · 10/09/2013 06:16

Morning!

Best of luck for your scan today, barking. There's been so much wisdom from the other ladies already, I've got nothing to add, but I'm thinking of you.

Boom the courgette cake recipe is here. (Ignore her hideous picture of it!) It's from How to be a Domestic Goddess if you've got that, and it's delicious!

Kitty, rubbish about the bfn. When is AF due?

Yorkie, ugh, sorry about all the confusion! Sounds like you've worked out a good plan for yourself, though. And your FSH came down a bit, so whatever you tried must have been helpful? Or at least not a hindrance!

Hope everyone has a better day today. Brew and Cake all round.

BelissimaLol · 10/09/2013 04:11

I meant booted in a nice friendly way by the way. And yes we are doing it again Grin.
Maybe that's why the newly pg ladies are scared to join us! We're too much about babies and not enough about pregnancy. Shame on us!
Anyway enough about us. Lets hope for good news for barking tomorrow huh?

Cavort · 09/09/2013 23:53

I never felt booted Grin but it was definitely time to move our pram-talking asses to antenatal and leave you lovely TTC ladies to it. Grin Grin

We are doing it again now by dragging our feet in moving to postnatal but it's hard to leave when you like everyone you're leaving behind.

funkymonk · 09/09/2013 22:40

Pimp again in the morning kitty?

OP posts:
Thundercatsarego · 09/09/2013 22:39

Hmm that's confusing blind. So there's the theory that it'll be shorter but also the risk it'll be delayed. Hmmm

Bunnygirlie · 09/09/2013 22:35

To clarify nobody was ever booted! A few of us mentioned that chatting about prams for their babies when we were struggling to even get pg was a little insensitive, some appeared to get the hump and set up their own thread.

barking hope that the advice people are giving is helpful, lovely to hear such helpful caring berry stories x

BlindKitty · 09/09/2013 22:13

thunder well in theory I should come on on wed, making it a 28 day cycle so obviously shorter than the 33-39 days I'm used to so less time until round 2. Although the nurse did say the meds may delay af (which will obviously make me go out of my mind with anxiety, I should pre-warn you!)

Thundercatsarego · 09/09/2013 21:49

Hi all,

Sorry blind I didn't acknowledge your pimp earlier. Arse with the bfn but its not over yet. Will this new jabbing routine affect your cycle length or anything?

barking I was totally the same with telling close friends, especially the ones with babies. You'll know who you want to tell and who not- I think that will feel pretty natural when the time comes.

Everyone else ok? Need duvet and chocolate tonight?

barkingtreefrog · 09/09/2013 20:22

Thank you funky and Poppy for sharing. It helps to hear other's experiences. Poppy did you contact the fc or just continue with the clomid you already had? I realise bleeding is common, and I had remained positive for the first two or three days, but then the lack of heartbeat on the last scan, the heavier bleeding, the bad cramps and the amount of red blood and clots and other matter and the googling have pretty much destroyed the hope I had left.

Thunder I'd rather be open with a limited number of people so that pg friends and those with babies/small children would know I'm finding it difficult to be around them rather than think me rude/ignorant, but I need to check with DP first as I don't want to share without checking it's ok with him. Also, there's a side of me that doesn't want to share as I don't want people speculating about whether that's why we got engaged (even though we didn't know at that point).

Thanks Haycorn, I think you can expect me to be filling up the thread again tomorrow sorry berries, this is currently my 'safe place' Smile.

I'm going to try and stop thinking about it now ha ha so I'll drag myself off mn and come back to update after the scan tomorrow. DP doesn't know I'm on here though so I'll have to be discreet!

BlindKitty · 09/09/2013 20:01

bel haha I really don't care if you do talk about pushchairs but can't vouch for everyone! Nice to see a berry success story!

haycorn · 09/09/2013 19:41

I'm really sorry that everything is so hard for you right now barking. There is nothing I can add to all the advice and support you've been given, I just hope that whatever comes tomorrow, you are able to come and talk to us about it, even if it is difficult to share with people in RL.

BelissimaLol · 09/09/2013 19:40

No I wasn't chatting about prams but we all got booted at once and I was pg by then so got the message Grin
I'm fine, my little girl was born on 27th July and my life as I knew it is now over. But I won't talk about it or ill get booted again GrinGrin
I'm really hoping for good news here soon. I'm a sucker for a sop story!

BlindKitty · 09/09/2013 19:19

bell how come you got the boot lol? were you one of the ones who were chatting about prams haha?

BlindKitty · 09/09/2013 19:14

barking just following on from what bellisima said, again, not that you're defo miscarrying but my friend got pg the month after her mc (took about 2 years to get pg initially).
