Well I've just called the hospital after they promised to call me back yesterday but didn't. They still haven't booked me an appointment. WTH is going on? I'm on the verge of tears here!

I spoke to the same nice lady as yesterday. She said that she'd handed in over for the mw to deal with and they haven't come back to her, so I should call back this afternoon. I can't even tell DH, he'll go nuts!

Poly take no shit when you phone back, they've messed you about far too much already Angry

Zermatt · 23/05/2014 13:02

Just catching up with all the posts as haven't been on for ages.

treacle hope you are doing ok, so sorry to read about your news, hope your body is starting to recover and there isn't any pain anymore, take care of yourself and defo keep posting/in touch xxx so sorry to hear your news too ginger take care xxx

Congrats Retro and English and everyone else that had joined the bus, I scan read all the posts so sorry if I've missed anyone.

Love the crotchet/knitted outfits. I did a crochet class last year and managed to make a rather fetching hat that's not too similar to looking like your wearing the end of a condom on the top of your head. It's really hard!

Treaclepie19 · 23/05/2014 13:32

Thank you zermatt still in pain but I'm getting there x

CallingAllEngels · 23/05/2014 13:35

Fx they get their shit together today poly

DS had slapped cheek last year tilly . Here in NL it's called Fifth disease (no idea why!). You can't normally tell if a child's got it until they come out in a rash (often on face, hence slapped cheek) and at that stage they're not contagious anymore. I informed nursery and they put a sign up to let other parents know. Even though the contagious part had passed, he could have passed it on to someone and it's potentially harmful if you're pg. I think especially in the 1st trimester, increased chance of mc. DS mainly had rash on his hands - it was itchy as hell! I don't think it's that common - our GP had to look it up!

Choccywoccydodah · 23/05/2014 14:44

Hi ladies
Sorry to gate crash. Just to keep you updated, it's happened again. I've just had my uk scan and there's nothing there, that's now 5 :(
However it does look like I'm about to ovulate, which ties in to when I came off cyclogest 2 weeks ago Sunday (I usually et a positive opk cd14/15).
Hopefully I'll be back on thread again soon.
Congrats to you all xx

MelMc73 · 23/05/2014 15:04

Treaclepie19 · 23/05/2014 15:13

I've just had a mini melt down in Debenhams. Made a complete show of myself in the Home section. Found a quiet spot to call the hospital when DM was in the loo. They still haven't sorted it and won't now till Tuesday. I'm feeling so angry and upset and unimportant. What do I have to do?

To make things worse I told DH on the phone and he started swearing at me because he is so upset (with them, not me) and I started crying again.

Sorry for the selfish post. I'm sat on the bus and think I'll be sick if I try to read this afternoons post. Will catch up when I'm home. Hope you're all ok x

So sorry Choccy. I've been thinking of you. I hope DH and the Prof are looking after you and you'll be back here with a very sticky bean very soon x

lindamagoo · 23/05/2014 16:39

Choccy I'm sending you lots of sticky baby dust for your next bean. Can't believe you had to go through this again Thanks

Poly I'm so angry for you, you are very important they are just very useless/unprofessional twats Angry

RetroHippy · 23/05/2014 16:56

Really sorry to hear that Choccy, hopefully in the safe hands of the prof you will get a sticky one very very soon. Flowers

poly, how rubbish! I'd be composing but never writing, I'm a wuss a very strongly worded letter of complaint. Just not good enough. You must be feeling so pissed off Angry

We told mil last night, she gave a suitably impressive reaction, and has already told someone... 18 mo DNiece! Calling my mum tonight, hoping she is as excited, esp after last time. Still getting good strong positives after a week, even though I'm only on CD26! Hurrah for short cycles. At the moment I'm thinking we may as well enjoy it and give our families chance to share in it, even if it doesn't last.

Well I feel utterly rubbish. I've just come home from my parents early because I couldn't face the anymore small talk and crawled into bed and had another cry. I feel so depressed and anxious. I just can't understand it.

MademoiselleG · 23/05/2014 20:05

Aww Poly...sorry to hear you feel so bad. Could you put on a film or series you like, or find a good book, to keep your mind occupied? Thanks

lindamagoo · 23/05/2014 20:36

Awww Poly I wish I could reach in here and give you a massive hug huni, it's horrible when you feel so down Thanks

Thanks ladies. I've just had a little sleep and am feeling slightly less emotional now. Don't these people understand how stressful pregnancy is? I'm so glad I've got you ladies to talk to. I can't wait till I actually have my scan if I ever actually get an appointment, so I can talk to RL people too Sad

I think I was a bit wound up today by the fact that everyone on the December thread is posting scan pics or talking about getting their dates etc and my process seems to be at a standstill for some unknown reason. Envy

Roll on Tuesday!

MademoiselleG · 23/05/2014 22:24

Poly I'd totally be fuming too, and this is us tally closely followed by or preceded by complete meltdown, tears, the lot.
You most definitely should pester (too weak a word) your gp and the hospital for an immediate appointment. Don't let them fob you off, you need to be seen!
I hope you sleep well Thanks

fancyacupoftea · 24/05/2014 06:43

Poly I'm so sorry you're upset - you do have every right to be.
You do have an option today - you could go to the hospital and insist on being seen. Or call 111. Say that your eyes are worse today/ cramps etc and just get the whole thing to hurry up. It might not be truthful but they've been knobs.

I love being up this early at the weekend.

RetroHippy · 24/05/2014 06:50

I'm up too fancy, I was also awake at 2:30, desperate for a wee. And keep waking myself up elbowing myself in the boobs! Ouch!

fancyacupoftea · 24/05/2014 07:33

I've started hugging a spare pillow in bed Retro - it keeps my boobs nice and safe and stops me rolling onto my front and crushing them. I love my pillowy bed friend. Can't wait to get one of those full body ones.

RetroHippy · 24/05/2014 07:40

I'm genuinely wondering if 5 weeks is just a wee bit too early to switch to sports bras and buy a dream genie!
