The problem is my sickness is already being monitored due to amount of time I had off due to previous M/C. ( am having an argument with HR about this at present)
No one here knows i am pregnant yet. I might try and sneak off later.

maddyd · 26/08/2005 11:57

Cori aches and pains are normal at your early stage, especially period type pains. Its all your insides stretching. Take Care and rest and if gets worse or spreads to your back then contact Doctor. Try not to fret which is easy for me to say but i will worry just as much as you as we all will. Its going to be a long 9 months for you Cori. Your feeling sick which is great and a good sign.

The quicker the beter on the marriage front, less time to plan and spen money. We want to be married and not worried about everything that goes with it. It will still be fun planning it though and will take my mind off ttcing. Ive got thousands of ideas running through my head at the mo and im meant to be working but i just cant concentrate now

Lottielou · 26/08/2005 13:38

Maddyd - So when are you actullay planning on getting married then! Ohhh so exciting! DP and I are engaged to me married but not until 2007 as we want a summer wedding and all the dates next yr were taken so we thought we would hold off till then. The Church is booked and the reception and allthough it's 2 yrs away i cant help but try to plan it already, there's so much choice out there! Yay, so pleased for you

Prettybird · 26/08/2005 13:56

Been trying now for nearly two years - had a missed miscarriage and an ERPC in June 2003.

I've now been on Clomid for tow cycle - my period was late last month, so started to get my hopes up . Next period due on Monday - but if it's the same cycle as last time, could be Friday.

On the Clomid not becaseu I don't ovulate but, becasue of my advanced age (now 44), it might help improve the quality of the eggs released. Also used to ahave a very short cycle (24-26 days) but since starting on Clomid, have been 28 and 32 days.

We'll just have to wait and see next week. Don't think we'll be successful this month, as only BDed on one "good" days.

Time is running out....

Diddle · 26/08/2005 14:47

Hi Prettbird, hope you get lucky soon. Don't know much about clomid but hope it does the trick.

Lottielou · 26/08/2005 14:54

Hey Prettybird - I really wish you all the best! Haven't a clue either bout clomid but am sure others on here will be able to give you some words of wisdom xxx

petunia · 26/08/2005 17:40

Congratulations maddyd.

That's really cheered me up. Had a bit of an emotional day. Had to take DD1 hamster to the vet this morning to be put to sleep. Cried my eyes out at the vets! I blame all those hormones racing round at the moment!

Cori- I'm having all those aches and pains as well. I posted on the pregnancy board (5wks pg and so many aches and pains) and was going to suggest you take a look at it, but see you've found it already!!

Diddle- thankyou for posting the ultrasound info. I rang the EPU on Wednesday and they said that they're happy to do a scan from 6+ weeks, just that I'll have to get referred by my midwife (not very likely at the moment) or my Dr. I might leave it a week or so and then get a Drs appointment. One of my friends (who is due to be induced with her first tomorrow) had a mc and has had loads of scans during her pg. She couldn't believe I've not been offered any scans or extra appointments.

Well, I'm off to my parents for a BBQ in a while. Have a nice evening everyone.

HumphreysCorner · 26/08/2005 19:16

Lottielou-LOL-cheered me up no end ((xx))

Diddle- on your BFN-I can really sympathise with you on that one-keep trying as you never know ((xx))

cori-thinking about you with your sickness-had it for 5 months with DD and it's not nice! ((xx))

maddyd-ooh, what a lovely surprise-being made an honest women of at last! My theory is if you are good enough to live with then you are good enough to marry! ((xx))

Hugs to everyone else.

As for me CD36 and I have another lump appeared the other side down below so in double pain. Mum said it could be an absess-why and how????????? Think I will visit the Drs next Thursday if it hasn't cleared up-also I will be 2 weeks late by then.

DD in bed and DH at his Grandma's for tea so bliss time in front of the telly. Have been to Morrisons and these wedges, onion rings and sweetcorn fritters with sour cream dip jumped off the shelf into my basket so yummy!

Take care!

HumphreysCorner · 26/08/2005 19:18

petunia-forgot to say how sorry I am about your hamster-any pet dying is a terrible shock and upsetting but having to put them down is so sad. Special virtual hugs for you ({({({xxx)})})}

maddyd · 26/08/2005 19:41

Thanks for your wishes Petunia. So sorry your having a bad day. Pets are hard to loose. As for your Doc, im very surprised at him. Ive been told i can have a 7 week scan and im not even pregnant yet!!

CHOCOLATEPEANUT · 26/08/2005 20:21

Congrats Maddyd!! I wed dh (no 2) last year. I only went to see priest to see about dd baptism and came back saying the wedding is booked.

My dh said "what is it today,2 for 1?"

!!

cori · 26/08/2005 20:27

Thanks Petunia,
that thread has made me feel a bit better actually. Also I suppose that being pregnant again so soon (4 months since M/C) the uterus is still quite sensitive.

I managed to get away from work early in the end, I had some time owing so was home by 2.00pm.

cori · 26/08/2005 20:29

I had these wise words sent to me in an chain email today, thought I'd share them you guys.

Don't Break The Elastic!!

In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older. And, there on television, she said it was "exciting." Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day...like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first. The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!

Maya Angelou said this: "I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow." "I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights." "I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life." "I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as "making a life." "I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance." "I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need be able to throw some things back." "I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision." "I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one." "I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back." "I've learned that I still have a lot to learn." "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

HellKat · 27/08/2005 10:00

Morning all!
Cori- congrats Fab news!!!!!
Maddy- congrats to you too hun! Something has to be in the water after my dp proposed a few weeks back lol.
Diddle- So sorry about your bfn {{{{hugs}}}}.
I can't be arsed at all anymore. Pretty sure I didn't even ov last month. Good news is af has gone, not sure how long though. Basically we're leaving ttc to chance. If it's meant to be it'll happen. Very strange it's taking so long. Last two were conceived withing 3 weeks and it's been 5 mths now. Will have fun trying though .
Pet- Yep endo still driving me crazy!
HC- how's it hanging? Sorry could'nt resist hunny . Like Diddle said, you may have caught it or your body might be fighting infection and could be a swollen lymph node or cyst. Hoep it gets better soon. When are you going to test? Any sign of af?
How's everyone else?

HumphreysCorner · 27/08/2005 10:44

Morning ladies

HellKat-Of course your AF has gone because she arrived at my house about an hour ago-bitch-9 days late! Have still got my two lumps and yes they do feel like cysts but are oh so painful so BD is out until further notice. Good to see you back ((xx))

Don't know if to plan next month's BD round a 28 day cycle or a 37 day one. Means we will had to BD every other night for the whole time! I really will be walking like John Wayne-even more than I am now.

At least worrying about being PG or not is out of my mind for another 2 or 3 weeks so hurrah!!!!!

Diddle-are you testing again this weekend? ((xx))

Wishing you all a nice relaxing weekend-we are off to Cadwell Park for the racing and it is only up the road from us so hardly any travelling for once.

Take care
xx

HellKat · 27/08/2005 11:02

Hc- Swear our af's our syncronised lol. Bet your lumps are painful! Once in a while I get an enlarged cyst and can't wear jeans, hurts too much. Can't think of anything to suggest but be interesting to see if they die down once af kicks in (could be hormonal). Have a great day! x

maddyd · 27/08/2005 12:11

Hooray i got my af . Ive never been so pleased to get it before. Its been the longest month.

Thak you for everyones best wishes, looks like we are going abroad. SOON!!!! Ill keep you all posted.

Chocolate peanut, i love your two for one deal

Cori how are you doing? Feeling any better?

Diddle how are you, has your af come yet, i do hope it doesnt drag out agian for you. xxxxx

Hc ill be doing everyother aswell, we could start our own western movie

HumphreysCorner · 27/08/2005 13:13

LOL at you both!

Just made a lasagne at the same time as swigging a sherry so feel much better.

Byee for now
xx

cori · 27/08/2005 15:16

Thanks Hellkat and HC. I am feeling a bit better, but very tired at the moment. I feel very much the same as last time where I had this horrible habit of waking up at 5.00-6.00 am and not being able to go back to sleep. I cant help but thinking that all these same symptoms were for nothing before. My due date is 4th of May, exactly 7 months after the baby I lost was due.
I will probably have an elective ceaserean so I will have this beanie some time in April 2006. So that will be exactly one year since I had the miscarriage. Making all these connections is making mea bit paranoid.

sunnyside · 27/08/2005 17:20

OOh Cori try not to worry! when I m/cd the nurse said that they get 90 per cent of people back with successful outcomes within a year.

Hope that might help

baggybear · 27/08/2005 21:35

HELLO EVERYONE!!!!!

I'm back from my holiday now. Had a nice time and feel a bit more relaxed and a little happier.

I haven't been home long and I'm cream crackered so to save me a bit of time could someone give a brief run down of what has happened in the last week (will read thread but SOOOO tired right now). Thank you xx

I hope you are all well and there have been some BFPs. xxxxxxx

maddyd · 28/08/2005 08:37

Ahhh Poor you Cori, try and stay posotive Honey. Its so understandable all your feelings and the month your Angel was due is always going to be hard. Try and rest, relax and think happy thoughts. I think keeping as busy as possible will take your mind off any negative thoughts. Get yourself a big fat summer blockbuster and absorb your self iin that. Always works for me . Hope you are well though and the morning sickness isnt too bad. I forget have you been or are you going for an early scan?

Mine was due in two months and im dreading it, i feel i must be pg by then or it will never happen.

Diddle · 28/08/2005 10:49

cori - i love your wose words, i am a big oprah fan, have been bought up watching her every weel, and maya angelou is often mentioned, as she;s a good friend of oprahs, and she is such a wise woman. Thank you.

No af yet, not bfp either, tested friday, not testing again until tomorrow then i've run out of tests. I think she;s on her way though, had a mega headache this morning, which i originally got when i was pg, but since the m/c's it seems to come when i'm due on. wierd.
hope she's nto long and i'm not on for next weekend when we're away.
hope you all have a good bank holiday.
