oops what are nin milks? Of course I meant MINI MILKS

Neeko · 08/07/2009 09:49

MLS I guess there are no emmsy's left in the world cos they're all on here!

Moon How many times do you have to be told NOT to sneak off to have meltdowns, young lady? Meltdowns are like chocolate: you have to share! Sending you a hug and some blinkers so you can ignore all the pg women at work! it's awful what we think sometimes but we're only human and hormone infused ones at that

Ohsoprettycupcake Love the pic. Have a nice time away with work and please text me -when if you get a BFP as I'll be on holiday!

Lovelycurly So pleased to hear you're feeling a little bit better. I have to agree that your posts are lovely. How's the boobs?

Mermaid have a funfilled day with your thermos! What's for tea tonight? I'm so going to turn up at yours or MLS house one night!

Jools How's the symptom spotting going. I have a feeling that this is your month

Annie Good luck today. Can't believe you're at 20 weeks already? Time flies sometimes in Emmsy's land.

Blue Hope you're feeling nice and rested after your day yesterday. How's the bump coming on? Any chance of a wee pic soon?

Tattifer Welcome to the madhouse. Hope you like rose wine and nin milks

Ok so I finally got my temp rise today Don't know if I'm grinning about that or the fact that we only need to BD tonight if we want to. I was actually thinking about Iggy and her Feb everyday month last night. Hats off to you!

Ok, so moderate drinking is ok in 2ww, right? Don't want to spend my whole holiday without a glass of rose.
I'm not packing any hpts but will pack AF stuff in the hope's that she will become confused and stay away. (crazy.eh?) I plan to test a week on Monday if she stays away.

Have a great day.x

MummyLovesSadie · 08/07/2009 07:10

Welcome Tattifer you are in good hands here. I've had 2 mc in 4 months & will be having an erpc tomorrow.

Good luck Annie for later.

BTW has anybody noticed what has happened to the other Emmys's Angels thread in the mc section? I snuck onto it yesterday as I was going to direct my friend there & it seems to have ground to a halt last month.

Today I have a -massive- slight hangover.

mermaidspurse · 08/07/2009 07:02

ps cupcake you are all uncreased reminds me of hopings upset over not being served alcohol sigh.
curly hope you feel better after your duvet day, jools* hope your hand is better.
neeko go go go.
mls hiope the headaches are a wee bit better, just take it easy girl.x

mermaidspurse · 08/07/2009 06:13

morning all just a quick hug for
moon it is so early days, puddle away we are all here. I thought I was the worst person in the world with the things I thought. It is a naturla protection thing and not yourv fault. Thwe sun will come out again I promise.
kate sending you thoughts and strengthxx
and a hello to tattifer
Good luck annie can someone let me know later?
I am crossing the Tamar today got my thermos and everything! Day out with bf does that count as a tiny holiday

4ever hope you had a totally ace anniversary.xx

forgot vjay omg you have a bionic dhxxx
love to allxxxx I'm all excited

tattifer · 08/07/2009 00:12

I've eaten all the green and blacks but there's still a couple of peppermint creams left

BlueMoon1981 · 07/07/2009 23:28

hello tattifer was just off to bed, but couldnt leave you waiting. sorry that you need to be here in sad circumstances, i've had 2 mcs in 6 months, so i know where you are coming from, as do many other lovely ladies on this thread. this is such a good place to be, everyone is fantastic, so feel free to join us, you are very welcome to sneak in! i think you have to bring ice cream and chocolate though

tattifer · 07/07/2009 23:16

Can I sneak in? I'm feeling in need of some quiet yet humorous obsessing - I've had two MCs in eight months and now we're seriously trying again (as opposed to pretending we're not seriously trying again). Af just over but not too depressed as only second proper one since ERPC.

DH is away for a couple of nights (fabulous timing but not his fault) so brain freewheeling into obsessional mode

Curlywurlee · 07/07/2009 23:09

Fingers tightly crossed for that bfp cupcake text if any news

Night night everyone

cupcakefairy · 07/07/2009 22:54

Curly you must be the best friend to have in RL! You are so lovely really glad you managed to keep some food down...and I'm intrigued by toxic wee!!

Thanks for the compliments guys, you're so sweet -moon maybe I did go to Uni with you and blue yes people have said that about dh before; he hates it! Haha... I'd rather he looked like Harry

Well I am off on a work thing early tomorrow, and if I don't manage to catch up here in my brief changeover time Thurs evening then I won't be back til Monday...here's hoping af stays away! Thinking of you tomorrow too annie and hope you had a loooovely anniversary 4ever

Ooh and MLS you'll have to give us the thai green curry recipe too...love the stuff!

Curlywurlee · 07/07/2009 22:51

I just can't seem to write short posts I need to post more often I think!!

Moon your MC is still very recent and it's normal to have awful low times just when things seemed to be getting better. Try and get some sleep and give DH an extra big cuddle tonight. I hope tomorrow the cloud lifts and you start to feel better. I promise things will look brighter soon, and it will get better xxx

OP posts:
BlueMoon1981 · 07/07/2009 22:35

curly you just nearly made me cry, you always say such lovely things and i thank you for that meltdown? i am on the floor in a puddle i think, hope that i morph back into something more suitable for tomorrow! even people at work have noticed i am not myself, despite my very best acting skills.

by the way, you win the prize for the biggest post so far hehe

Curlywurlee · 07/07/2009 22:27

becks fantastic news Stick with us and we'll get you through this worrying time

mermaid thanks for your concern, you are lovely but I'm fine, my duvet day resulted in keeping a sandwich and some toast down which is a record and today I had a really good day at work. Have been puking like a pukey thing this evening but that just gives me hope for this jumpin bean. I'm so sorry TEW got you, that stupid cow. Don't give up, it is going to happen but maybe it's time for drastic action, like a holiday Any chance of you getting away for a while?

kate depression is awful, and I can understand how you would find it hard to speak to people in RL. I'm sure people just assume you are all loved up and everything is great, little do they know what you have both been through over the last few months and what you are going through now. I don't know much about depression but a friend of mine who had depression told me afterwards that she had said some awful things to her DH. She was put on meds and it made all the difference. Is DH seeing a doc? Sending you a massive hug honey. I'm glad you at least have gracie in RL, I hate to think of you going through this alone.

VJ do you pee every night at 2am?? eek Well done to DH

sabs hope you hear about your grievance soon. I can't believe how far along you were, it seems like yesterday that we were celebrating your bfp. You and DH must be getting so excited. Have you found out the sex yet?

Neeko I love the sound of your little dd, lol at her potty rampage Speaking of which, I think we can safely say that romance has gone out the window with me and DH, I regularly regale him with updates on puking, discharge and toxic wee Hope you get on the 2ww soon, your cycles seem a bit crazy at the moment but fingers crossed for you this month

jools loving your psychic cat. Mine just ignores me

cupcake I guess it's too early. Crazy boobs cannot lie Well actually they can but I still have high hopes for a BFP for you... tis cupcakemonth after all You and DH make such a lovely couple

iggy it's so nice having you back. Fingers crossed for this 2ww flying by and good news at the end of it

blue hope you had a lovely time in Edinburgh Sleep tight and mind that bean

hoping You are so brave honey. It will happen for you, honestly it will. Just hang in there for a little while more xxx

MLS I'm so glad to hear from you. I know things are especially tough while the physical part is still going on, and you must be exhausted from losing all the blood. I wish there was something I could say to make it better but all I can do is offer a hand to hold when you need it. I got terrible headaches as well and found the best thing was to take the painkillers the hospital gave me, which was cocodomol I think. Bless your dd, she sounds adorable It may be that they will scan you again and find you don't need the ERPC. In that case I think the day you started bleeding properly is day 1. Otherwise your erpc is considered day 1.

mollie take good care of yourself - no more nooky for you young lady

Moon please try not to be so hard on yourself. I don't know how I would have coped if anyone was pregnant in my office and I had to see it every day. You have been incredibly brave, and always look out for others even in your lowest times, which just shows what a lovely person you are. No more private meltdowns, ok? we are right here for you honey whenever you need to melt down xxx

Good luck tomorrow annie. Hope you have a wonderful scan

Hope 4ever is having a wonderful anniversary. Missed your posts today

lots of love to gracie barbie MM lion baking and anyone I haven't mentioned xxx

good luck annie will be thinking of you xx

anniebigpants · 07/07/2009 21:55

Evening ladies, just had a catch up on here. Ive got my 20 week scan tomorrow afternoon, and am half excited and half nervous, worried incase anything is wrong with babs. Will come on later and let you know how it went.
Big hugs to those who ned them. Love to all X

BlueMoon1981 · 07/07/2009 21:52

oh blue x post, thats a yes then! damn...

BlueMoon1981 · 07/07/2009 21:51

jools this lady also announced she was pg at 5 weeks, she has been so in your face about it, its not her fault she is happy, i am only jealous, i just hope everything is ok for her, i will feel terrible if anything happens now.

cupcake i have to say you are very pretty, you remind me of someone i went to uni with, you will have beautiful babies some day.

thank you mls and blue for your kind words, i do forget sometimes that you already have some idea of our feelings.

and mls i was wondering the same thing too, is the day i had my medical management the first day of my cycle? i feel like af is due and after bleeding for nearly 4 weeks on and off before and after hospital its the last thing i want!

bluesatinsash · 07/07/2009 21:48

Hey MLS (do we synchronise our watches before we post ?

Yes count your ERPC as day 1 of cycle. My ERPC was 1/1/09 and AF arrived 26/1/09 like clockwork.

Off to bed take 2 x

MummyLovesSadie · 07/07/2009 21:47

Blue nearly spat my mouthful of red wine all over my Mac at your comment to Cupcake!

bluesatinsash · 07/07/2009 21:44

oooh cupcake - you have such lovely young skin and your DH looks a tad like Prince William - no?

Mermaid - I'm confused, has TEW descended or do you feel like she's gearing up to? LOL at jewish grandmother comment! We should all have one and a gay best friend to boot .

Moon - we've all been there feeling guilty about not being pleased for 'less deserving' pregnant folk, its completely normal and human and please don't beat yourself up.

Off to bed x

MummyLovesSadie · 07/07/2009 21:44

Aaaah Cupcake what a very pretty, smiley, glowing picture!

MummyLovesSadie · 07/07/2009 21:40

Moon you are NOT a horrible person. Well done for being so bloody honest & saying what you felt & what we all would feel in your situation. Of course none of us would wish what we've been through on anyone else but we all feel a mixture of 'if you could only walk a mile in my shoes' & 'why was it me & not you'?

Mollie sex shmex.... I too have no idea of that concept. I only know about bd'ing which is a totally different ball-game.

Mermaid how was your curry? I made a totally gorgeous Thai green curry tonight which was not only yummy but a low fat weight watchers recipe too, so I had an extra large bowlful (piggy emoticon).

MrsKate totally & utterly know where you are coming from. My dh gets so stressed out by work that he takes it out on me. He says such horrible things to me sometimes that I wonder if our marriage can survive. Sometimes I think I'm too sensitive as I'll be brooding & pondering about what he's said & I'll be wondering if I've deserved the insults & he'll be watching tv & will have totally forgotten about the whole incident. That makes me wonder if half the time I've imagined the whole thing.

Quick question & don't know if anyone will have the answer - should I count the day of my erpc as the first day of my cycle?

bluesatinsash · 07/07/2009 21:39

MrsKate - another worried one here . My colleague's DH was very down earlier this year and after chatting it through, we referred her to Occupational Health to give her coping strategies on how to deal with it and more importantly, give her someone to talk to. I know you also work for NHS so speak to your Manager/HR Adviser and they should support and refer you. Harsh as it sounds they, as your employer, would rather you were at your work with time off to see a counsellor than off work completely with stress...

cupcakefairy · 07/07/2009 21:31

Oh moon! You poor love! But you are not a bad person at all. I admit to having had a sneaky passing thought of 'I hope everything isn't perfect' for this couple know expecting #2 who everything works out for and they acted as if the mc was my own fault. But of course I wouldn't wish mc on them, no way!! But it's natural to feel hard done by. Please don't beat yourself up. And please share stuff with us...I think we've all been guilty of holding back cos we feel others have it worse, but we're all here to support each other, please don't have private meltdowns

mermaid- that bl*dy btch, why does she always have to be in her laddered tights and party frock lauding it over us?? sorry f we added to the head-messing!

neeko so sorry bout the delayed ov, realy hope you don't get a 7 weeker again...you and your poor dh!

kate just massive hugs really.

Curly are you out there? Hope you're drinking lots even if you can't keep food down.

Gracie how long now til the scan? Hope you're feeling ok.

I was brave and finally put a pic on my profile if anyone's interested! I look about 15 in it but was best I could find of dh and me!

Joolsiam · 07/07/2009 21:23

Moon - those thoughts are perfectly natural. I can't remember the details now, but I know I had similar feelings towards PG colleagues and had to really work hard to stop myself bringing down a silly young girl who was announcing her pregnancy to all at only 5 weeks - I wanted to tell her to shut up as it could / would all go wrong - it did and I felt awful

It will pass and your natural generosity of spirit will resurface. I've said it before and I'll say it again - be kind to yourself x x x
