emmsy's onwards and upwards part 2, more good new please!

Sabs - glad you've escaped the nasty manager for a couple of weeks , that sort of treatment is really not what you need at the minute - do you want the Emmsys Charlie's Angels to go and scare your manager in the Barbie-mobile?? Your manager wouldn't stand a chance against us lot!!

Rather more than our fair share of A&E staff on here(Gracie, Kate and BakingQueen) I think we're taking over!

hey ladies..hope ur all wele and having a good day on this miserable saturday (well its miserable here anyway!)...

first of all a cautious congrats and yay to *mollie". totally understand the way ur feeling...even for me now, although a lot of people know im pregnant again, i havent brought myself to say on my facebook status that im pregnant..just know that we're here for you and understand what youre going though. Hope u want to stick around on this thread, im still here lol!

well done to barbie for getting this new thread started. Hopefully we will have more good news on here..hope ur having a good time...saw ur pics on FB, they look fab!

kate hope ur nights out are going well...you getting excited/nervous/happy that your big day is nearly on the way??

neeko and MLS hope ur BDi'ing is going well. Sending you lots of babydust your way!

jools any news? (sorry, no pressure!)

vjay wow, you felt ur baby! are you 20 weeks now? i cant wait for that feeling....i'm 16 weeks today

annie good to hear that the signs are postiive...am soooo jealous ur going to see take that! even though i was a fan back in the day, i never got to see them until dec 07, and they were fab!

lion i'll be holding yout hand virtually on wednesday..hope it all goes well...

Well ive had a very eventful week...thanxs to everyone for their birthday messages....didnt do much on the day, just had lunch with friends and took in krispy kremes to work, but going out with DH 2mrw to see lion king in theatre, which ive been dying to see! and then for some dinner out in west end, possibly followed by haagen daz in leicester square
Unfortunately ive been signed off work sick for 2 weeks due to stress at work..i have a really horrible intimidating bullying manager, who is such a gossip and has been speaking to a few of us in such an intimidating disrespectful manner...for me its just stepped up in the past few weeks...ive ignored it for a while, thinking if i say anything to her, it would just sound so petty, especially as people around me have been going through redunduncy, but it all came to a head on thursday and i just broke down and reported her to a senior manager and HR. Luckily I have an understanding GP, who hearing me on the phone just crying and being inconsolable, signed me off on the spot, saying it was harmful to the baby for me to be in that environment. DH has also been made redundant and with monday coming up (the due date of my lost angel), i think it just got too much for me.
Again sorry for bringing the vibe down...thanks to those on FB who were asking about me...didnt really want to post the whole sorry story on there, especially as i have a lot of work mates on there

sabs says welcome to bakingqueen and babyinacorner

and hello to blue, mermaid, 4ever curly gracie mm (missing you!) and littlebellsmums phew is that every1!

Hi Bakingqueen Babymad.com is good, but unfortunately shut until the 17th. You can also buy them cheaply from e-bay. I admire your intentions not to test, but guarantee once you have them in the house you won't be able to resist! Enjoy some unpressurised BDing til then.

Hi Kate You sound tired, but just think of your wonderful wedding. Won't be long now. Is it 3 weeks? Hope tonight's shift goes smoothly.

hi bakingqueen I got my opk's from babymad.com, they were really cheap but worked for me. Good luck xx

hi girls manage to survive night2 but quite a nasty accident so kept my mind busy and not thinking all bout me lol

hi bakingqueen i no how u feel bout working in a+e i work there 2 im back again 2nite i feel really tired 2day .

Hello to everyone and a happy easter. Can't believe how many postings in the last two days got totally confused by the new thread- then again always have been easily confused! Hope everyone is well and things are still going well for you all. Sorry still too new to fully catch up with where you are all at but sending you all happy vibes anyway x Been on 2 long days at work and decided that there is nothing like a busy A&E prior to bank holiday to take my mind off my mc and my want to be pregnant again. Have decided to stop the OPK sticks and wait for my AF whenever that decides to restart. My DH seems happy with that not just because it stops me pouncing on him but he could see the daily negative test were sending my mood back down. So decided to just wait patiently for now but bulk buy OPK strips for after my af. A quick question where is good to buy the OPK sticks from on internet? Happy easter to you all

Hello. DH has gone to the football and DD is napping so I can post without feeling gulity
Did opk today and line is MUCH darker![brin] and EWCM too so more BDing for us tonight. Managed to BD last night, but BDing to demand and with your fingers crossed is lots more stressful.
MLS Hope you're successfully dancing too lol at you're emailing Babymad. Trust the conception guru to be on 1st name terms!
Mollie I totally get where you're coming from. I'd like to think if it was me I'd keep it to myself for a while and only mention it when I'm more sure that it's sticky (but know if I get lucky again I'll be straight on here telling you all!)
Gracie Hope you're feeling better today and are gearing up for this month's BDing.
Barbie Are you back yet?
Kate Hope last night was better than night before and you're holding up ok.
Anniecam Hope your symptoms become stronger and stronger. Rest lots.(Soon you won't be able to fit into bed with your DS [bsmile})
Vjay and Blue Hope you're enjoying your "me time"
LBS Any more non-symptoms?
Hi to everyone else and happy chocolate eating!

Grrrrrrrr weather is just abysmal down here in Surrey - I can't believe how depressed it has made me feel! All I wanted to do was wear nice spring clothes & play outside on a blanket in the garden with dd but there is no chance of that today. Went to a scuzzy soft-play place this morning instead & wearing winter clothes, had a bagel with far too much melted cheese & now feeling sick!

Blue opk still faint +, doesn't seem to be any darker than yesterday but I'm still only on day 11. Will bd later anyway, hopefully dh will produce some long-lifers that will last a few days! Hope your having a nice girlie lunch.

Neeko have you done another opk today?

Mollie I would do the same as you or else I'd feel like I was tempting fate at this early stage.

Can all those with nice weather send some sunshine down here please.

Hi ladies,

Just a quickie before I head off to my boozy girlie lunch (DH and DS are off to grannies).

Hey Vjay - enjoy your 'me' time, any more feelings today?

Mollie totally understand your caution, i'm from the same mould! Hope your DH is royally spoiling you this weekend, you deserve it [bsmil].

barbie - enjoy your offroading, bet your face cmes back all sand!

Hey Anniecam - bet you had to lie down after your mammoth post ! Great to hear your symptoms are stronger this time round..

Hope your work's OK today gracie

How's the OPK going today MLS?

Hope your DH hopped (slipped in a wee easter pun there ) to it last night Neeko!

Its gorgeous up here today too x

Hiya, we've got nice sunshine up here too, which makes a nice change. Ds is out at a friends house for lunch so I am just chilling out for a bit.

mollie totally understand your anxiety you stay put till your ready to move on, I was the same, I didn't join an antenatal thread until I was much further on, I don't add much to it though I prefer to stay on here.

barbie enjoy your offroading

jools any news? am thinking of you.

Well good luck to all you ladies bding over the weekend and enjoy all the yummy chocolate.

Morning, hope you all have the lovely sunshine we've got today
Jools Any news? Thinking of you
4ever I can still feel your beaming smile from here
MLS Oh dear how unlucky to get duds, fingers crossed you won't need too many more!
GG My poor DH is definately getting a break from BD now, I won't let him near me, poor things we do use and abuse
Barbie Have a lovely day out, hope you are feeling OK?

I'm not sure who graduated me, but I hope you don't take offence, I don't feel quite ready to be in the big pants list just yet, I'm sure you can appreciate I'm a bit nervous at the moment, so I'll sit at the bottom of the TTC list til I'm a bit more confident. Hope that's OK guys and you don't think I'm being pedantic

Enjoy your day out Barbie!

Ooh dear MLS I've been using BabyMad stuff since my miscarriage I've not had any duds yet.

I'd better go and get ready for work, have a good day everyone.

The woman there has gone away on holiday, I sent her an email a couple of days ago as two of the hpt's from my last batch were duds. I had to do two opk's today as the first one was a dud. Serves me right for paying about two and a half p each for them! They were probably made in a sweat-shop in China & I bet the bit of paper that soaks up your wee is actually just blotting paper!

I still can't believe BabyMad is closed for Easter! What's that all about?? I don't get a day off!

My DH had the cheek to tut this afternoon when he saw that I'd done an opk & was writing it on my chart. I was like 'WHAT????'! I was thinking 'You don't know the half of all my checking, testing, comparing & writing down, sunshine!'.

All they have to do is produce the required fluids at the requested time!

The men should think themselves lucky, whilst we're indulging in our MN obsession at least they get a break from our BD obsession!

Yes just been on FB and seen, thanks Gracie

I too get a bit of grief off DH for being on MN, but i dont care .

Evening Annie! I just accepted you on Facebook. Good to hear you're getting good strong symptoms, you put your feet up and get some rest.

LBM yes my DH thinks I have a Mumsnet obsession too - have a good weekend!

Phew, just caught up on the 10 pages i missed since i was last on here Tue evening, what a chatty lot!!
Sorry i havent been on for last few days but by the time i get in from work, get sorted, eat tea, shower and put DS to bed, ive been shattered. The tiredness has kicked in big time, ive been putting DS to bed and climbing in with him for a snuggle, next thing i know its early hours of the morning and i stumble back to my own bed.
I seem to be having stronger symptoms this time, im certainly not complaining, the stronger the better, hopefully means my bean will hang on in there.

Barbie-So sorry AF got you, i was so hoping it was going to be your time. I hope you are feeling bit brighter now, no the wonder you needed good cry-with your Mum leaving to return home, the waste of a time job interview, and your bloody AF turning up, hope you are getting merrily drunk as i type
You mentioned you used to like Take That in their younger days, well i still LOVE them, infact im seeing them in concert here in June.

Mollie-Hope things more settled for you, hows the spotting? Hopefully stopped.

Lion-Will be thinking of you next Wednesday when you go for your amnio, sending lots of positive vibes.

Jools-LOL at your cat thieving soft toys.
Ive got 3 cats and i love them all dearly.
Good luck with the testing tomorrow.

GG-Hope you feeling much better after your vomiting bug. Hope you dont have too busy a BH weekend at work.

Mermaid- at your 20 min birth!!
LOL at you doing a runner after complimentary drink after boring symposium, well done on winning magnum of champagne.

VJay-Ouch on a possible 10lber!
How lovely feeling your LO kick, its much more reassuring when you get to this stage, almost like having a little window in your tummy where you can peek and make sure your LO is okay.

Neeko-Glad you feeling more upbeat. Hurrah on darker line on OPK and EWCM-you go for it!!

MLS-You too MLS-pounce on DH plenty-signs look good!

Kate-How exciting only 4 weeks to wedding, it will fly by. Any sign of AF yet??
hope tonight goes by uneventfully for you at work tonight.

LBS-Symptoms seem promising-keeping fingers tightly crossed for you.

4ever-Cant believe how long the consultant kept you hanging on tenterhooks waiting for news. Im so happy to hear that the consultant thinks you will benefit from treatment prior to TTC your next LO, i cried happy tears for you when i read this.

Welcome to BakingQueen and Babyinacorner

After that mammoth post i need a lie down now!

Loely? Think I might mean lovely not loony!

No Emmsys Twins here - much as I love babies, we don't have the room and two sets of nursery fees would cripple us.
Wouldn't want to be greedy either - just one little baby will do me fine!

Evening all! Good to see you back gracie and thanks Barbie for the shiny new and very happy thread!

My dh is pretty good about my addiction to mums net but is starting to tell people that all I do is mess around on the computer, so, I think I might log off for the weekend. MIL is here for a week and so might not get much chance to post ( she is loely but wouldn;t be so understanding and wants odd things like meals before 10pm. AsI said odd!

So, a very Happy baby making Easter to those of who still need to make and a full on chocloate eating one to the lucky incubators!

Wow a posh new thread! let's hope we'll all be pregnant with sticky babies by the end of this one.

I'm not really sure what's up with me, not very healthy at all at the min. I just feel tired, maybe I need a holiday! Shame I'm not having one - might gatecrash Kate's honeymoon!

Kate - shame your "night" is a night shift at work and not a night out which would be much more fun.

Molliemooma pleased to hear your DH is looking after you.

MLS - get BD'ing!!!

Jools - my fingers are crossed!

So who is volunteering to have the Emmsys Twins????

Oh and Neeko I very rarely get dark lines on the OPK so go for it Glad you are feeling better
MLS Sounds like you will be busy tonight too!
Kate Have a lovely night out
