I LOVE a cherry tree 😍 that sounds lovely Sooz

SoozC · 20/04/2018 17:43

Fx all goes well, Para.

I have a glass of white wine (drink 'til it's pink and all that) in the garden, under our cherry tree. Hubby currently getting me dinner. Sun is shining. It's Friday. This day could only be improved by the removal of the pre-fp feeling in my abdomen!

LexieJean · 20/04/2018 17:36

@para tentative congrats! I hope this one sticks for you. Will keep my fingers crossed.

In other news I’m in my SIL garden in my bikini sipping pimms! Have a great weekend everyone! 🍸

Limp DP likes Brew Dog Nanny State.

Wonky I am even more jealous now, I would LOVE to live by the sea again.

Limp Washing on the line is a joy in itself! I thoroughly recommend the alcohol free cobra - doesn't have the horrid aftertaste of becks blue

LimpLettice · 20/04/2018 17:24

I'll keep every thing so firmly crossed for you Para. Maybe this one has found a safe little corner.

Er, Wonky, I'm sure you're very lovely, but you are making me very jealous. I'm in the garden with a Becks Blue, but I'd really quite like to swap my view of the washing line for yours Grin

WonkyDonk87 · 20/04/2018 16:46

Sorry to say @Pinkemi that's not even a holiday shot... we flew home yesterday. That's just where I live Grin

Pinkemi · 20/04/2018 16:36

@Paranormalbouquet keeping everything crossed for you that it goes okay!

very jealous of you @WonkyDonk87.. i would SO Love to be on holiday right now!

WonkyDonk87 · 20/04/2018 16:15

@LookingAtTheStars89 Cake and sand don't go as well together so you'll have to eat it all yourself! Happy Friday!

Miserablemouse · 20/04/2018 16:12

Oh Para! What are the odds!! Tentative congrats, you must be so shocked. Will keep all my fingers and toes crossed for you x

Paranormalbouquet · 20/04/2018 16:11

Haha @LookingAtTheStars89, they are clearly useless, I'll happily send them on.

Funnily enough having got home very late after flight delayed last night I picked a fight with DH this morning (3 hours sleep before work doesn't agree with me). At least he'll have forgotten that when he gets in!

LookingAtTheStars89 · 20/04/2018 16:10

@WonkyDonk87. Hey those pre mixed drinks are good lol. I like Jack Daniels and coke, it reminds me of when I used to hang our at this alternative pub with all of the punks/goths Grin. I don't have booze but I accidently made chocolate cake and rocky road.....they ingredients just fell into the mixing bowl....

LookingAtTheStars89 · 20/04/2018 16:07

@Paranormalbouquet. We are all here for you

WonkyDonk87 · 20/04/2018 16:07

Handholding all the way Para, whatever course life takes you on

LookingAtTheStars89 · 20/04/2018 16:06

@Paranormalbouquet Can you send me those condoms??!! Well done :-) x x

Paranormalbouquet · 20/04/2018 16:05

Yes this is the fourth time for me too. I'm still shaking. I desperately want to be pregnant but a BFP doesn't bring joy anymore. And knowing I still have a womb full of adhesions and a very short cervix isn't helping. I'm waiting until middle of next week to call my surgeon. Could well miscarry before then anyway.

Last time I wrapped myself in cotton wool and miscarried anyway. I'm going to keep up walking, light gym work and healthy eating as much as possible this time. At least I feel I'm more prepared this time for a loss.

9 weeks, that's brilliant, getting ever closer to the end of the first trimester!

DoAsDreamersDo · 20/04/2018 16:03

Para congratulations and fingers crossed for a healthy and happy 9 months for you. It must be such a shock for you!!

WonkyDonk87 · 20/04/2018 16:01

I have pre-mixed gin in a can too (guess who grew up like a total lush by the sea? Hmm) I'll drink it for you. DH and I are planning holidays and enjoying the fact that it's actually hotter here at home than it was in Portugal! How long till you're with DH Para? Hope you're ok

LimpLettice · 20/04/2018 16:00

God, Paranormal! You really are a fertile fecker! It's so hard after miscarriage, so much conflict. I'm still in a state, 9 weeks today, and I still won't believe anything until much further on. This is 4th go for you as well isn't it? I really hope the clinic have a plan to help this time. Bed rest and such maybe?

Very tentative congrats and a big hug too.

Paranormalbouquet · 20/04/2018 15:57

Thanks everyone. Wonky I could really use a plastic glass of prosecco (or maybe neat gin) to calm my nerves but I suppose I better abstain.

Called DH. He's beyond shocked but thinks this one is meant to be. I think we just got a dud condom and will have to anxiously wait it out. Have zero symptoms but decided last time after having severe nausea for weeks and miscarrying anyway to try not pay too much attention to symptoms.

WonkyDonk87 · 20/04/2018 15:55

Here's to you @Paranormalbouquet !

STOP! Yammer time. 🍠
SparkwoodAnd21 · 20/04/2018 15:46

Wow Para! I am also tentatively shaking my pom-poms at you. All things are crossed.

No judgement here Wonky. I’d bloody love one of those but it’s frowned upon when you are working with children. Bloody squares.

OP posts:
WonkyDonk87 · 20/04/2018 15:40

Para I really want to send you every congratulation/Pom Pom dance I can, but I totally get that you're probably really fucked up and anxious right now. So a tentative Pom Pom shiver in your direction, and I'm raising my plastic glass of prosecco in your direction (I'm on holiday - no judgement please)

Paranormalbouquet · 20/04/2018 15:33

I honestly have no idea. I suppose they aren’t the best form of contraception but we used them properly and each time. Just checked the box and they are in date. I really wasn’t expecting a positive test, just I’m 5-7 days late and am always very regular.

I haven’t had big problems getting pregnant but I’ve had big problems staying that way. Just called recurrent miscarriage clinic and left a message.
