I know we mentioned having a "chat" thread as well, do you still fancy one or not ? I'd like to be on the original thread as well.

That's it-Give me a slap!!!
I'm driving myself nutty because I'm a woman obsessed!!!!
Even been upstairs examining to see if my nipples are larger!
I always promised myself i wouldn't be like this.
DS2 took 6 months to conceive and M/c baby 1 took 12 months, I know we BD'ed at the right times ~(TMI I know), but I shouldn't let myself get obsessed as it could take a while.
(DH won't complain at that)

lynnec · 08/01/2007 18:53

Jossie forgot to say...ive done the nipple test too

I was also feeling a bit worried due to boobs not being any bigger,asked dh if he thought they had got any bigger,he thought yes,but i didnt, so had to get the measuring tape out lastnight
and got the shock of my life they were two sizes bigger so it was straight to m&s this morning to get measured and new bras.

The things we do!!!

Jossiejump · 08/01/2007 22:14

Good to know its not just me Lynne!!
Edie how are you?

EdieMcredie · 09/01/2007 10:33

Well the back pain has returned. It came back last night. This morning my boobs are not tender at all but I have only just woken up so we shall see...feeling a bit down and negative. Don't really feel pregnant today and have some niggly feelings near belly button.

How are you both? Josie will you be testing soon?

EdieMcredie · 09/01/2007 10:51

I have just been looking over our conversations and it has proved very helpful for me. I saw that in Nov when I had tonsilitis I was also complaining of back pain and pain in my pelvis! Also quite a few times you have said Lynne that you don't feel pg and on one occasion you have said about stomach pains. You then went on to see a nice healthy heartbeat so this has reaasured me. It's like a diary aswell really so very helpful

Jossiejump · 09/01/2007 11:11

Oh Edie-sorry that you're feeling down.
I'm just off to the doctors now one side of my face hasswollen up like a hamster!
Hoping it's not a tooth abscess (doesn't hurt too much so hopefully not) as I'm petrified at the dentists!!
Also hoping it's not something daft like mumps!
Hope you're ok Edie

Jossiejump · 09/01/2007 13:17

Hiya
Greatly relieved-it turns out that I have a blocked duct in my salivary gland-he pushed on it and I nearly went through the roof!
Have just got to drink lots of water to try to flush it through.
Have been doing early pg tests from ebay-BFN, either its to early to tell or this is all in my mind (quite possibly).
Edie-remember we are always here if you need to talk

EdieMcredie · 09/01/2007 14:14

Thanks J, sorry about the BFN but yes could be too early. Im talking to another girl on here who is 8 weeks pg and has a bad back. She had a scan and her baby is fine so I think that has reassured me a lot. It's a bit sore today but nothing really bad.

Your blocked gland sounds awful!! Are you off work?

lynnec · 09/01/2007 18:13

Edie,glad you feel a bit reasured,hope your ok. x

Jossie,poor you! Hope things clear up for you soon x

Edie it took a few weeks before i felt pg.

Jossie i didnt get a bfp until day af was due.

Hope you are both well x

Everyday i think ms has gone but came back big time this afternoon,not complaining though!xxx

EdieMcredie · 09/01/2007 18:47

Yes feel a lot better tonight. Boobs have got more and more sore as day has progressed and I have that strange tender feeling down below again, can't cross my legs and actually having them wide apart is most comfortable. How odd!!

My tummy is quite hard and im sure my boobs are getting bigger by the minute. Still a bit anxious but MN is helping...

lynnec · 09/01/2007 18:56

Thats good edie,im glad things are looking better for you x

Jossie im sure you said af was due13-15 think its still too early to test,fingers are crossed though for next week x

Jossiejump · 09/01/2007 22:05

Hi Lynne
Yes I know it is really too early-it's just that because I've been told the earlier that we start the injections the less the chance of m/c, I've bought some of those sensitive tests from ebay!
The consultant did say that if I suspected that I was pg he could do a blood test, its just that I know that I will feel really foolish going along and then being told, sorry you're not pg.
Glad to know you're feeling more pg Edie, fingers crossed for you.
Feel like my stomach is drowning with hte amount of water I've had to drink because of this gland-I don't go back to work until Thursday so hopefully it will be better by then.
Bye for now-going to chat with DH about planning our bathroom

EdieMcredie · 10/01/2007 09:29

Well today I feel very positive. Have been to the loo loads and all through the night I could feel the baby in my stomach. Does that sound strange? I did not get this with my mc but now my tummy is starting to feel like it has loads of fluid in it. It was quite uncomfortable to sleep last night, I kept putting a pillow under my tiny bump as it was quite uncomfortable not to. Now im wondering if im more pg than I thought...

Boobs very sore today

Not sure whether to keep the scan app as I know I won't see a heartbeat:unless I am further on...

What are you doing with the bathroom J? Have my fingers crossed for your positive.

How are you feeling L? xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jossiejump · 10/01/2007 11:39

Edie-you are best off keeping the apt as otherwise you'll only be wondering.
The fluid sounds a good sign-the main things that made me aware that all was not well last time was when my boobs seemed smaller and I could start sleeping on my stomach again-so your sleeping sounds good.
I'm doing an impression of a cross between a hamster and the elephant man today, where my face is swollen, couldn't sleep as didn't know how to get comfortable!
Enough of my whingeing-at least it might scare the kids at school tomorrow!

lynnec · 11/01/2007 19:55

Hi girls, how are you both???
Edie how are things going with yourself??
Im still feeling a bit sick and horrible,everyday i think ms has gone but then its back next day, it no longer works with the cooked breakfast tried when me and dh were out for breakfast the other morning so now its porriage every morning and grapefruit mor,noon and night cant stop eating them, had to get up at 11pm last night for another one, and stuffing my face with one just now,salad is all i can eat these days so hopefully it stays that way! Im thinking about going back to the gym next month,will wait and speak to mw next week, as im not sure whats safe and whats not.
Edie,is it tomorrow for your scan???
I hope you are both well,just going to bed now for an early night xxx

EdieMcredie · 12/01/2007 13:27

Just back from scan.

They were quite surprised that I was there as they shouldn't take referrals until you are 6 weeks and im 5 today. They warned me that they may not be able to see anything at all and most certainly would not see a heartbeat which I already knew.

The nurses that did it were so lovely-the abdominal one didn't see much and the transvaginal saw two sacs but no yolk which they said was probably just because it was too early. They said it could well be twins.

Had some bloods too which I will get the results for this afternoon.

EdieMcredie · 12/01/2007 18:21

Just had blood results and hormone is high so not miscarried as yet...sooooooooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lynnec · 12/01/2007 19:08

Edie,thats brilliant news!!!! Im so happy for you xxx

Jossiejump · 12/01/2007 19:24

Brilliant news Edie!!
Sorry didn't come on here last night as was in great pain with my face, but its a lot better today.
Bad news was that my symptoms were all in my mind-af arrived Wednesday, about 3 days early!! (normally very regular 31 days, but month before was 32 days, so don't know what my body is playing at).
Very fed up last night-DH was really understanding, which helped, had a little cry as I was convinced it would all happen this month. Never mind, got to look to the future now.
Best wishes

EdieMcredie · 13/01/2007 22:30

J

I replied to your thread last night but don't know where it went-sorry!!

So sorry to hear about AF coming-how do you feel? Are you very disappointed? Try to look forward to a fresh new month with a new opportunity to try and get pregnant. I know it's hard but hopefully soon it will happen and you will be plagued with lots of reassuring ms!!!

How is your face BTW??!!

How are you Lynne?

Jossiejump · 13/01/2007 23:05

Hiya
Face is much better today-have eaten solid food all day.
Yes I am really disappointed about AF -I hadn't felt this much pregnant since...well since I was pregnant!!!
A month just seems a really long time when you're TTC-also it does when you're pg I know.
Excellent news about you though Edie-are they saying it's definately twins?
My good news is that having had to but 2 new cars in the past 2 months, borrowing money from family, my medical insurance claims are paying out from the m/c, early scan for m/c baby 2 and also my diagnostic tests, so we can actually pay back our debts to parents!
Have decided that if I'm not pg within the next couple of months, will make the break for freedom from my job and go freelance-feel I've wasted enough time living for the what if I'm pg lark! You never know, that might jinx things to happen-probably after I've handed my notice in knowing my luck!!
Have a good Sunday

lynnec · 14/01/2007 15:07

MMM....Edie, ive also just writtten a thread there and it didnt appear,just checking this one does, before i start all over again.

lynnec · 14/01/2007 15:10

I hope you are both well.
Edie how have you been feeling??

Jossie glad your face is starting to clear up.Sorry about af arriving.

Ive been ok, still feeling sick, and worried about my scan on thursday, starting to toss and turn at night worrying about it,glad its only a few days to go.

I hope you've both had a nice weekend x

Jossiejump · 14/01/2007 19:42

Hi Lynne-glad to hear you're ok, I'm sure everything will be fine at the scan, but can understand why you're worried.
Had a good day out at the park with the boys today as DH was sleeping, he was on nights.
Edie are you back at work this week?
Bye for now
