The Good Husband of TTC Drive (No1 Babies Detective Agency pt5)

thanks scorpio - they are both lovely, I'm sure you'll be a beautiful bride. I can't believe you are that far already.

I hope so too, Nomore. I hope I havn't upset you though, I know that 13 cycles isn't very long, and don't want you to think I was being insensitive or smug...

Just saying hi really! hope everyone well?

Thankyou both!But, I warn you , I take no prisoners and will be dragging you longterm ladies with me, so Gilly, Nomore and Ready, I'm waiting for you. Lucky cycle 13...But, I'm scared and in shock, and all mixed up too.

Hello there, everyone. Sorri I have not been around much lately, we have had a lot going on at home, car a write-off, lap top playing up, blah blah , noting too serious though. It has taken me ages to try and read through and catch up with you all, so please forgive me if I get things wrong.

Ready - how are you, sweetheart? It sounds as though you are having a difficult time in rl, I hope you are managing to smile your way through. I'm sending you a big hug in case you are in need of one....xx

Nomore - I'm sorry it didn't work out this month, it must have been soul destroying to be late, and start getting your hopes up. I really felt for you. [sad[ Don't give up hope though,things have a habit of happening when you least expect it. February is not too far away, and you may get some good news at any time. I'm keeping everything crossed xx

Hi there Gilly. I'm glad you had a sensible, down to earth consulatation, your GP sounds lovely. maybe the thought of knowing you have made the first step, ang got a positive result will help to give you peace of mind, and help you feel as though you are doing something positive. I had my day 21 tests back about 10 days ago, and the GP said everythng was within rhe normal range.

Oh, Mistlethrush! I'm sory, I've only just picked up that you have been through another early mc.I'm gutted for you, you must be feeling such a mixed bag of emtions after dh's fears. Have you contacted Sheffield yet, I'm sure they will be wonderful with you. It's awful to be hoping for a bfn, I remember that feeling only too well.

Good to see you Bella, and glad you are OK Sybil. Hi there Poppy!

Well, I'll try to keep more up to date if you'll have me back. < Kensgirl takes a deep breath and quietly whispers bfp..>

Big hugs all round

Well, I'm feeling slightly better in terms of my cough - but did test this morning (I'd been putting off by not 'remembering' to buy any when I went shopping - I think probably trying to ignore the whole issue) - still +ve which is not good - already have a Drs appt tomorrow - and have already discussed with them that it might be neccessary to get blood tests done to make sure HCG levels going down - don't want worry of poss mp hanging over me for months like it did last year.

Its really strange.. you go for months wishing for a bfp - then you spend the next x months hoping that you get a bfn.

Hello everyone

MT sorry to hear you're feeling rubbish, hope you're better soon

Gilly- I'm basically at the same point as you. Have had another day 21 test and need to wait until next AF for another test. Also have another form for DH for sperm test. He is not too keen as he feels it will just happen like before and that I am getting hung up about it. I'm really trying not to but I just want to know what is happening. He has worked away alot this year so he thinks now is back at home for a few months things will sort themselves out. I'm not convinced. Have decided not to mention it again until after our hols in Dec when things have settled alittle. Am nearly 33 so think this is always in the back of my mind.

Another friend announced she's pregnant with twins yesterday, very happy for her, tiny bit sad for me and my mc. It now means that out of my 4 best friends 3 are pregnant. I really think that I need to meet non-baby people to have fun with!!!
Thankfully have MN to talk about all this on.

Surprisingly though apart from the above I am quite positive at the moment and am even getting in shape ready to hit the beach in 3 weeks time!!!

I remember the Ozzie Orange Hehe!! I tried to find the outfit I got for friend's little girl... it's brown corduroy dress with stripey tights and jumpsuit... sounds terrible written down actually - but I wanted something that wasn't baby pink.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Glad you liked the class Gilly - I am tempted to look for something like that, but in the meantime, a quick hint or two on how to cast-off would be great

Nomore - Since you asked... here's what I bought for my friend's little baby girl, who was born yesterday The Duck and I will link to something else after tea

Gilly - let us know if you come across any interesting patterns. I'd love to knit something nice for ds. I'd probably go for a Kafe Facet type thing - but he'd probably go for a tractor, a train, a dog, a rabbit, a car, or something else along those lines. Hmm... I wonder whether I could knit him a farmyard jumper

Sybil - sorry to hear that you're not feeling great today. I found accupuncture helped me hugely through pregnancy - don't know whether that's an option. Mind you, I just ate constantly for about 14 weeks (put on stone by 10wks - only way I found not to throw up after 9am! Hope it all improves soon

So stupid of me to tempt fate by saying I feel better, woke up with sticking head cold and feel sick and lousy. Fortunately grandparents have rallied and taken dd to nursery so I can rest.

MT, god you sound as if you are having an awful time, make sure that you rest and take care - my mum gives everyone she knows boiled lemonade for 'respiratory' things. I don't know if it works but it does taste nice!

Hi all, sorry I have not been around much.

Sybil good to hear that you have had a break from feeling sick. How far along are you?

MT sorry to hear you are not feeling well, I have been quite lucky into getting any colds just yet but mind you I am expecting it any day especially after being outside for most of the day yesterday queuing up for the Indian visas!

Ready nice to see you popping back, hope that stuff sort themselves out in RL and you are more settled soon.

Nomore, hun, I read your post in the Zita West thread and I really feel for you. I really wish she would have been able to answer everyone?s questions as there were some very poignant posts there. I was just wondering, given patient choice in the NHS etc.. if you are unhappy with your lack of monitoring to date could you just ask to be referred elsewhere? I hear you about the expense on going private so with the NHS bring such a lottery it may be worth shopping around for another hospital?

We had our first experience of ?patient choice? yesterday. DH and me went together to see our GP about 12 cycles after mc and still no baby and also about my anxiety about the whole thing. She was very understanding and asked some of the basic questions about health, lifestyle etc..but did not need convincing that we needed some tests. So I need to do days 1 and 21 (20 in my case because of the short cycle) blood tests. DH needs to provide a sample at home and rush it to hospital within an hour!! There have been endless jokes about his ?stuff? whizzing up London?s Holloway Road! These basics lab analysis are done at the local hospital and we then meet up with the doctor again to discuss the findings and depending on what she finds she will refer us to a fertility specialist at either Whittington, UCH, Homerton or the Royal Free. Its up to us so I need to check them all out. Inclined to go for UCH as it is a good teaching hospital and convenient for me to get to if I have appointments in the middle of the day. About my anxiety she said it was all understandable but from now on our fertility was her problem and not ours so she said basically not to worry, enjoy sex and let the professionals look after us . I must admit I quite liked this and felt I could trust her.

?.and I start my knitting course tonight

Hi Poppy and Bellabear!!! (waves!)

I'm feeling sick. Not sure whether its remaining hormones or this horrid cought which I still can't shift. On 2nd lot of antibiotics plus inhaler, steroids having failed to make much of a difference. Chest xray will be required by end of week if no significant improvement.... Don't get asthma normally, so don't know why this is being so horrendous

So quiet in here at the moment, hope everyone is ok?

I have managed to go the whole day without feeling more than mildly sick - Its such a relief!
