Just wanted to give big hugs to everyone, so much sad news recently.

youremindmeofthebabe · 31/07/2010 09:52

God i'm so confused. More spotting today, full on AF symptoms, spotty like a hormonal teenager incredibly angry and frustrated and a little confused. This is the most wtf cycle ever. To be honest, it feels like AF proper. But WHY??

youremindmeofthebabe · 31/07/2010 09:53

(sorry memememe)

birthdoula · 31/07/2010 11:00

Thanks Jollster and Hopefully, the waiting is to let me get back into a cycle, start OVing. The MC was totally unassisted, reading some of these posts I think I got away with it relatively easily, for that I am thankful. I just want to get going, I will be 48 in a few months and told myself if it hadn't happened by then I was going to stop trying but now....?
Jollster, Bon Chance with this pregnancy, I can understand your worries, good luck stars sending your way (happy home hunting too).
I don't think I want to go for early scans next time, knowing my little bean didn't make it, spending a week in vacuum of grief was the worst thing, if I hadn't known I would have been enjoying my beautiful little bump not mourning it.
I think I will wait, enjoy a week in Morocco next week, then start on my return
Anyway thanks again for your thoughts.

Magic8ballhastheanswers · 31/07/2010 15:56

Ladies, I know it has been a sad week on the thread (Big hugs to Moof Ladybee and all the newbies) but I hope that my news can give you all a smile..........

Whodathunkit?!

Most of you know my story and that I have been pretty much to hell and back since last May and even though it is still early days I am feeling positive because at this precise moment in time I AM pregnant and it is healthy! I know things may still be raw for some of you and I really hope you don't mind me posting but you guys have been a lifeline for me for the last 6 months and I want to share the good news with you, especially as this is our goal at the end of the day. I am going to be sticking around for a long time as it is going to be a very long and bumpy road for us, but also because I want to stay and keep up with your news and the B F Ps!!!!!! xxx

That is so exciting. I'm dead jealous but only in a ooooohhhhhh I wish sort-of-way, not in a why her sort-of-way IYSWIM

Goodness.

How are you? Are you wandering around the house with big eyes?

Magic8ballhastheanswers · 31/07/2010 17:12

Thanks ladies! I am COMPLETELY knackered and still in TOTAL shock......ME and DH sway between giggling like mad at each other or head in hands saying OMFG!.

The sonographer put my dates back a few days but wasn't concerned and didn't want to scan me again in the EPU. She also said there are more complications (FFS!!!) with identical twins EEEEK! not to google it (So we did!) and wait to see the Twins bod. WE are NO way out of the woods for a long time.......

I had no idea about twin stuff and identical twins are totally random......3 in 1000..........

(Sorry for mememememememe!!!!!)

batteryhen · 31/07/2010 17:20

magic Whoooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooo!! Top news ...... it's about time this thread had some good news. Maybe you are bringing us all good luck!!! xxx

Hi

Friday was a little difficult (if I'm going for understatement of the year) but life is looking a little better now.

So I got hold of rabbi but he didn't seem to know too much about it which was worrying me rather. So I called a helpline run in Israel who clarified a number of things and told me what questions I need to ask so they can determine my status after it (ie whether dh and I can have sex or even touch at all after it or if I have to wait effectively for next month).

So I left another message for the clinic to point out that if it didn't happen next month the way my cycle would fall out the only potential day to do this test on would be bank holiday which I assumed was no clinic. So she called back and said yes there was no space for me on monday (this one) and I couldn't have the thursday one she'd referred to because I'd be on day 16 of my cycle and that was too late so I'd have to wait till next month. So I pointed out the bank holiday problem and she said yes it would have to be on the 2nd. I pointed out that was the date of my next appointment. She said that's find we'll just move it and names 3 dates I can't do. When I pointed this out she suggested:

  1. I could go private (so I can pay for them to mess me around!!!)
  2. I could wait 2 months and there was nothing she could do to move me up waiting list.

I asked if slitting my wrists would move me up the waiting list and she said no (I kid you not). At this point I was really regretting making this call from work but had no other option and at least the person I share a room with was still out at lunch.

So she said she'd put me down for the 2nd and was that ok. At which point I was too overwrought at the idea of having to go through all this rubbish again next month to be able to talk so she put the phone down.

So I called dh when I could talk again without bursting into tears and he said he'd get the number of my very old GP (in his 80s) who is homeopathic and is just very reassuring to talk to (imagine proper old doctor type where everything is clear and most things can be solved by common sense - very reassuring).

While waiting for him to do this the hospital calls back and tells me they're moving someone else from MOnday to Thursday so after all that I will be having the thing this month and to start taking the antibiotics they've prescribed.

I still called my old GP and he managed to make me feel much better in about 3 minutes of saying that an ERPC could well have this effect and prescribed 2 pills to take morning and evening for 2-3 months.

So now I've got dh trying to find out who is the right rabbi to ask this question too and maybe it'll all come right at last.

Half way through this drama (if you're still reading) I got an email from one of the places I interviewed asking me back for another interview for a different position (which they had said might be a possibility) so at least that side is looking positive.

So here's hoping everything improves because I think I'm getting to the end of my tether on this (if you haven't yet worked out from my posts).

Thank you all for your hugs. They do help even though they're virtual.

Magic - I'm very glad to hear your news. I hope all goes well and I'm also dead jealous of you.

Birthdoula sorry to hear you've joined us.

Hi Ladies, apologies been missing in action for some time. New job and work life balance up the wall.

I see we have had some sad news on here, my heartfelt sympathies to you ladies, I know no words can heal what your feeling right now. x x x

Not sure of my stats, will try and work it out from an old thread at some point and add myself back on however not actively trying at present so will just pop in from time to time.

Congrats to Magic8 wow!

Happy sunday all x

Honeywitch · 01/08/2010 12:14

Oh my goodness, Magic8!!! We'll have to start calling you magic2!!!

Sorry to hear the sad news from people.

tigger, hang in there, it looks like you're a determined lady and will win through all the circumlocution!

I have a question - it's the wtf cycle, but I have been counting from the start of the mc and recently did a clearblue fertility test and it said that it was my fertile two days. Should I believe it, or do the last of the pregnancy hormones confuse the test? (We've ttc'd just to make sure!!!)

Soo, that's definately RTD for me . So, I am going to think positively, have removed my wtf as this WILL be a normal cycle, and here's to trying again. God, I'm scared.

hope you're ok tigger you sound really fed up at the minute. Sending some of my positive vibes your way.
