Sorry you had such and awful Easter Iggy thinking of you

Congratulations Jools don't worry about no symptoms yet. In my tow successful Pg's I had no symptoms until I was 6 weeks ( then terrible MS until 5 months)

I going away for a few days will catch up with you guys next week.

I think I have definately ovulated this month as been temping and have had temp shift so fingers crossed!

Joolsiam · 14/04/2009 08:27

Good to "see" you LovelyMonster

Didn't realise you were in NZ !! My mum is Kiwi, but has lived over here for over 40 years. She has just got back from a 9 week long holiday to relatives in Auckland, staying at their batch in Coromandel, walking the Milford Track, then visiting her brother who is now in Sydney - I'm not jealous

Hope your hols were good, despite AF. This is such a lucky thread, who will be next

LovelyMonster · 13/04/2009 23:47

BTW I am from new zealand - oyster is delicious!! Lap it up!

hi guys,

jools got me. back from my hols, just been lurking. witch got me while away and again since been back. been a bit down lately so not so active on thread. so sorry for those that have had bad news. congrats for those that have had good news.

Jools, what can we say. go for gold. you can only go in for it with a positive attitude. As easy it is to feel anxious about previous loses this is a different pregnancy and no reason for this not to be 'the one'! i

as for me i am trying. to get thru. lots of stuff going on. errr trying not to be so negative.

evening all - haven't been on for absolutely ages although have been lurking. Needed to log on to say CONGRATS to jools - I'm so pleased for you and really believe it will stick for you [keeping fingers crossed emoticon] - i understand that you will be worrying yourself silly for the next few weeks but it really is fabulous news and you should try (easier said than done) and enjoy it....

iggy - i'm so sorry to hear about your loss , I hope you are able to move on soon and start ttc again.

hope the mw brings you good news tomorrow funtime - you so deserve it.

yellow - pants that af got you - she got me too (v early this month after being very late last month!!) I am pretty much giving up TTC actively - going to go to docs again but have to move on now and face that it isn't happening for me (have updated the list)

oh and jools - my dds bday is the 17th Dec - its a fab time to have a birthday - she loves it!!!

Good that you're getting in to EPU quickly funtime. Will be thinking of you tomorrow and hoping this is a false alarm ...

Iggy - In a moment of madness, I splashed out on Sat on my favourite ever wine - a bottle of Oyster Bay (New Zealand) Sauvignon Blanc.

I've only had 2 glasses out of the bottle and now don't feel I can touch it now, so am sending it over - savour every mouthful

funtimewincies · 13/04/2009 18:37

Fabulous news Jools and completely understandable that you're feeling weird about it. It's going to take a while to sink in.

Spotting stopped after a few hours, but I phoned the mw this morning anyway. She's booked me into EAPU for a scan tomorrow afternoon, so should know what's going on soon.

Chocs and wine to iggy.

Kay4MattTTC · 13/04/2009 17:12

hey Jools i am just trying to get as much support as possible and get some advice.
i come online every few hour or so while DP is working. and check if anyone has wrote to me. but when he is home i spend most of my time with him. and dont worry e make sure we have plenty of time for a GOF.

Joolsiam · 13/04/2009 16:58

Kay - I have absolutely no intention of being unwelcome, but I've seen you copy and paste the same message onto a number of established threads - probably ten or more ??

It just seems strange to me, as most people only join a couple of threads. Are you looking for specific people or information ? At this rate, you will be logged on 24x7 just trying to keep up with people - leaves no time for BDE !!

Kay4MattTTC · 13/04/2009 16:54

Afternoon all.
This seems like a nice thread so wondered if i could join in?

Wont beet around the bush me and my DP have been TTC DC1 for about 10month. Been haveing problems with ovulating . We have a GOF very very regularly, but st of people around me that are already pg or people who already have a DC, but oh well. I am currently on CD13. So just waiting for ovulatiuon CM if it ever arrives.

Joolsiam · 13/04/2009 16:54

Feeling a bit more positive now it has sunk in for a few hours (bit tired and weepy though )

Iggy - a shite Easter for you but I'm glad that things are progressing so you have a chance of moving on and recovering from this x x

Had to go back 4 pages for a list - feeling brave and will graduate myself Am I the first person to graduate twice from a GFJ thread !!

A few other people on there need updating now ..

jools yay! fantastic! Am sure is hard to think positively - but give it a chance xx

funtime have everything crossed for you - am v. hopeful will be ok. xx

I managed an easter MC yesterday - so had rubbish easter sunday - but on plus side feeling ok now and quite relieved it finally happened after all the waiting iyswim.

Yellowflowers · 13/04/2009 11:50

Woohoo jools that is brilliant. You are pregnant! And the digital ones are always 2 weeks behind aren't they? Plus you could have ovulated a couple of days later than you thought. Understandable you are apprehensive after last time but this is a different pregnancy and you will be fine - it's your time! Well done.

Joolsiam · 13/04/2009 08:11

OK, BFP this morning - 16DPO but I can't even summon up a smile No sore boobs, no nausea, in fact no symptoms whatsoever since I thought I felt implantation last week.

Conception Indicator says 1-2, but I should be 4+2 today, so surely that should read 2 - 3 if my HCG was rising as it should ?

I can't feel happy - just want to cry as I can't help feeling this pg is doomed already

Someone give me a good slap !!

Joolsiam · 12/04/2009 19:34

Fingers crossed for you too Funtime

funtimewincies · 12/04/2009 19:31

Fingers crossed Jools.

A little bit of spotting today, just when I wipe . I've never had a situation when spotting hasn't turned into a full mc, so feeling pretty this evening.

I'll try and get hold of a midwife tomorrow (on a bank holiday?) and see what she says.

Arse!

Joolsiam · 12/04/2009 19:00

Hi - haven't tested yet.

Despite no AF (was due last night and I've had none of the usual spotting), I now have NO pg symptoms at all apart from raging insomnia.

Am scared to test really, as a BFN will be a disappointment and I am terrified that a BFP will bring anothe MC

Will probably have to do the test tomorrow to confirm once and for all - will keep you posted ladies

Yellowflowers · 12/04/2009 11:35

Any news jools?

OP posts:
iggypiggy · 11/04/2009 11:36

iggypiggy · 11/04/2009 11:36

Hi all - no news from me - still waiting for somthing to properly happen - although have had spotting for 9 days now

Just not liking the waiting.

Anyway - Ray, hope you are ok, please try not to worry. x

Big chocolate covered easter wishes to everyone [bgrn] - won't be on much as am away from home at the mo. x

kittycatcat · 10/04/2009 12:06

Hello everyone

Iggy am so sad to hear your news, am thinking of you.

yellow so sorry witch got you....

jools fingers crossed for you

x

Joolsiam · 09/04/2009 16:28

Thankyou Queenie

Will be thinking of you Ray - if the news for me is good on Sat, we can go sit in the corner and obsess together ! My MC was 11+5 so I will have a looooonnngggggg, agonising wait before I feel even vaguely safe

Am absolutely exhausted right now - seriously considering packing up and going home for a snooze - is that a symptom

queenie1 · 09/04/2009 15:37

jools - forgot to say that I am keeping everything crossed for you!!!! I'm off for a few days but looking forward to finding out how you get on over the weekend .

queenie1 · 09/04/2009 15:35

ray - please try not to worry. being anxious is one of the few 'behaviour' things that can impact negatively on your pregnancy. You just have to believe this is going to happen unless you have undeniable signs that it's not.

So pleased to hear you've got an early scan next week. It helped me so much to see my little bean alive and well on the screen. Hope you have a relaxing easter which involves NO MORE pregnancy tests and before you know it it will be time for your scan. Love to you.

yellow - sorry to hear you've been feeling down. Your DH sounds like he's being really supportive though. Hope you have a good long weekend together and maybe stay away from friends with babies for a little while?
