Oops I meant serious and everyone !
Doozer any more virtual drink going spare? Think I need it

Neeko · 21/04/2009 20:52

Evening all. It's a very up and down thread today which matches exactly how I'm feeling.
By the way am I the only person on the world not on Facebook?
Blue Well done for telling your mum. I'm sure she'll be a great support.
Scorpio I'm admiring your exercise ethic - I turn into a bit of a laid back slob when pg. Go easy on yourself though.
anniecam really on your behalf. The stupid gits. Think I agree with mermaid on the karma thing though. Hope you get it sorted soon and like the others said try to stay calm.
Jools Forgetting to write your own name? That's seriou pg hormones!
MLS poor you with bleeding Get to docs and be checked out. Sending you a hug though it sounds like DD's keeping your mind off it. Enjoy the vodka
Barbie your a woman in demand. Good for you. I advise you to take the job that gives you best access to MN!
Kate What about yoga positions that you're not allowed to do when on AF or pg in case of bleeding? Might bring it on? Worth a try. Where are you going on honeymoon?
Hope eberyone else is ok.

kate030284 · 21/04/2009 20:15

Oh yeah talking about a whole new set of worries - my dd managed to get a pea stuck up her nose this evening. I wasn't sure if there actually was one up there until she kept sneezing & sneezing & eventually one was jettisoned across the table! Unfortunately it didn't end there as she then kept rubbing her nose & shouting 'pea nose' & was getting very agitated, I had to lay her down in my lap & saw another pea right up her nose! I called the doctor who said to try & get it out myself or else I'd have to go to A&E. When I got off the phone & saw a squashed pea on the floor where dd had been jigging around & rubbing her nose & I had to get her toy monkey-torch & shine it up her nose to see if the pea was still there but I think it must have been the squashed one on the floor.

Just to top all that off she then did her 'poo-face' & when I took her up to change her nappy it had leaked & she had poo right from the back of her neck down to her toes so there was nothing else I could do other than wash it off in the shower!

Am now drinking vodka!

MummyLovesSadie · 21/04/2009 19:44

Mollie thanks for info re progesterone. I was wondering if it could be a possible cause & I know that you can buy progesterone cream over the counter. I had a load of tests done last year for thyroid problems & to check that I'm actually ov'ing etc... not sure if they checked progesterone levels but I'll be sure to ask when I see my gp next week.

Annie not sure what to suggest re scan, on one hand a little white lie would get you a scan but on the other hand totally agree with Mermaid re not being good karma. Imagine if you did tell them you had started spotting just to get a scan & then you actually did start spotting - how shite would you feel?

Barbie you need to be looking for the clear, slippery, stretchy stuff which will increase for a few days until the day you ov.

Neeko how was work today?

This whole business is nothing but worry..... worry when you can't conceive, worry when you do, worry throughout your pregnancy & believe me a whole new set of worries as soon as you hold your new born baby in your arms. What I wouldn't give to be ten years old & completely free of any anxiety again...

Molliemooma · 21/04/2009 19:27

MLS Bleeding on day 21 means low progesterone I think? Have you had CD21 day blood tests done? If not I'd ask your GP about them, or if they are not receptive get another one!
Annie So sorry to hear of your poor treatment in trying to get a scan, seems so unfair the way treatment differs all over the country
Barbie You are becoming very popular on the job front, well done you Keep an eye on your CM as you want it to be clear for OV, might change in the next day or so.
Blue You sound so like me with your worries, FB me at any time if you want to chat or I'll send you my number on there if you like

Hello to everyone else

mermaidspurse · 21/04/2009 18:56

gratefully recieved thank you doozer I got caught red handed pinching ds bestest easter egg earlier too

doozerhead · 21/04/2009 18:31

sorry to hear that mermaid - i am here with a medicinal virtual g&t if that helps? xxx

mermaidspurse · 21/04/2009 17:30

annie the worst thing you can do is get stressed, its not good for you or your little bean.
If they won't do it then get one privately it sounds like it may be the less stressful thing to do, but not on the pocket obviously.
But I really mean it the worse thing is for you to get stressed. You have to live by the day by day mantra, its bloody hard but you will get there
dont lie about the spotting I am not sure if it is very good karma
Get some rest and build up some strength.xx

blue gald you told your mum.x

barbie which job are you going to go for then?

mls for you and yep get that drs appointment booked.

still stomping feeling absolutely dreadful tbh - me me me me

GracieGirl · 21/04/2009 17:28

Annie I agree with Barbie, its a rubbish system, a little white lie won't hurt, you have to think of yourself, and I'm sure everyone else plays the system.

I've been working at another job which is cash in hand (don't tell the tax man!) and putting all the cash in my drawer at home ready to pay for private scans.

Why do they make it so hard for us!

barbie1 · 21/04/2009 17:12

anniecam breathe hunny! right forget about other people you have to concentrate on you and if that means a little white lie to say you have been spotting then so be it, there is no way you will be able to get through the next few weeks until the proper scan, its not healthly for you to be so stressed...i hope you are feeling a little better now? how crap is your doctors?

anniecam38 · 21/04/2009 17:05

Gah!!! I ve got myself worked into such a state, im going to end up having a breakdown.
My GP called me back at lunchtime and said basically she had spoke to the EPU and told them she thinks i would benefit from having reassurance scan, also that i had been told by a seniot member of their staff that i could have the scan and they still said NO!!.
She told me she would book me in if i could go to the GP surgery for 3.15 today and see the midwife and she would get me a scan. I duly trotted down to see the midwife,who was very confused as to why i was there, and after i explained my sorry tale said "i dont know why Dr X told you we would be able to refer you for an early scan, we can only send you if you have been bleeding"
The midwife did my booking in while i was there, and said hopefulli i should get my dating scan through for 11 weeks, but that is still too long to wait.

I feel like ringing up next week and say ive now got bleeding, but feel guilty as that may deprive some lady who is bleeding/mc,ing of a slot.

Im probably going to book a private scan , ive got no other choice. Ive been in tears all afternoon

GracieGirl · 21/04/2009 16:33

I really need to start proof reading my posts again! That made no sense!

Joolsiam · 21/04/2009 16:33

Creamy CM post ov was the first sign to me that I might be PG - on 2DPO !!!

I'm doing things the other way round Barbie - am off to the gym soon to work off the choc I feel massive today - well and truly bloated.

First PG brain moment - I filled in my maternity exemption form at the GP's this morning and forgot to sign it, so they left me a message and I've got to trek back there !! Can't they just sign for me

GracieGirl · 21/04/2009 16:32

Annie - its rubbish isn't it! How some gat get extra scans and others can't. Liek Barbie said - it just encourages us to lie and say we had cramps!

barbie you are in demand with all these jobs!! The creamy stuff is usually just before ovulation, it goes stringy like egg white during ovulation. you could alway BD anyway just in case!

barbie1 · 21/04/2009 16:27

anniecam did you get it all sorted for you, cant you say you have been having cramps or something?

OP posts:
barbie1 · 21/04/2009 16:26

Im back
what an epic few hours! think i will be offered the job but im all confuzzled at which one to take if i do!

jools i wish i had chocolate in the house, im craving it....just finished the gym so its typical that i should want something so bad!

blue aw bless you telling your mum and getting upset, big hug from me, the wobbles are normal. God help you all when i get a bfp

vjay how was your check up, roll on sat......

mls have you booked a doc appointment yet?

scorpio listen to your body! be careful nobody aims for your belly cant you take up body combat ie the non contact sport for a while?

mollie and mm where did you disappear to girlies?

mermaid how is your pmt love? still stomping around?

So today is day 12 for me or is it 13? any how i have very thick creamy white discharge (tmi, sorry) and sensitive boobies....a sign of ovulation right? i have no idea about all the cm stuff so need the brains of this thread to enlighten me!

Joolsiam · 21/04/2009 15:35

Feel sick now - choccie overdose !!

Well, now it has gone, healthy eating can resume tomorrow

MummyLovesSadie · 21/04/2009 15:15

Jools by 'tidying up' do you mean scoffing it?

It's beautiful down here in Surrey too. Managed to get 20 mins on the hammock in-between planting some veg & getting dd down for her nap.

Joolsiam · 21/04/2009 14:30

I really really want to tell my mum too - but she refused to be cautious last time - told some of our relatives in NZ and was so excited - the day of the MC was the day of my 12 week scan and I phoned when it all started - couldn't get hold of her and didn't want to leave a message, so the first she heard of it was when my DP phoned that night - she thought I was phoning to tell her about the scan That must have been so horrible, I want to spare her this time, but I want to tell her aswell

Beautiful sunshine in Hertfordshire - I am working from home and just tidying up the last of the Easter choc that was in the house

bluesatinsash · 21/04/2009 14:04

Thanks guys. My Mum has just popped round so I told her my news - cue me fretting and crying and Mum giving me a big hug . Keeping it a secret is stressful in itself - arrgh! Not telling anyone else tho' but glad I told her.

I'm off to adopt the lotus position and do some chanting .

Joolsiam · 21/04/2009 13:26

Blue - you've seen how many mini meltdowns I've had so far, and I'm only just in front of you I think - it shows these things must go in a pattern - you'll have a good day tomorrow

My boobs are starting to really hurt now (5+2) - DP has noticed the cleavage
