I have the Air Hockey and Ping pong tables on order.
I thought it being the first day of term we should move in and make ourselves at home.

Hiya lovelies x

Well I'm back after my week away, and what a lovely relaxing week it was. Had a couple of days of lousy weather on the Mon & Tue, but the rest of the week was gloriously hot and sunny.

moo - I did a big 'YAY' when I saw you'd had a good scan. Am so pleased for you. Have you got another one coming up around the 12 week mark?

congrats to littlemrs too - what fab news :)

battery - I know I said it on the other thread but I'm genuinely devastated for you, especially as I feel like we've held each others' hands throughout this so far. Hope you've had a quiet weekend and that DH has been looking after you xx

bb - I'm another one who hasn't tried the baby aspirin, despite me actually buying two packets worth after my first mmc. However, I fell pg right away so never cracked them open and then kind of forgot I had them this time around.

Hope all my other buddies are okay - and an extra big squeeze to pv, jolls, allthe8s and cheepz. Have missed you guys. :)

pretty - hope you're going to be tuned in to the TT announcement tomorrow at 10am. Sources tell me it's confirmation of tour dates - although I already know that the Manchester gigs are to be held at the City of Manchester Stadium, rather than Old Trafford. I just hope tickets don't go on sale on Friday, as my best mate and partner-in-Take-That-crime is in the Canaries this week, so the pressure will be on me to get tickets - yet I don't bloody know if I'll be able to go to it yet! Tsk.

In pg news, I have no news. moo - it's lovely you think I'm super optimistic and positive! If only you could have seen the major wobble I had first thing this morning after a rather bleak dream, which has now convinced me that we should put off 'going public' for a wee while longer for fear of it jinxing things. Sigh. I wish I wasn't so frickin' superstitious.

Love to all

xxxx

battery I'm so sorry. It's just the worst news, I'm sorry there's nothing more to say. Except that we're here. We understand, and speaking from my own experience, don't expect to feel the same about this miscarriage as you did your previous one this year. It'll hit you in a different way.

digi really hoping that all goes well with you. Symptoms aren't to be relied on but you know that, and you know your body too so am just crossing fingers that everything works out.

I've been AWOL a bit - not in a great mental place and also attempting to pottytrain DS (2.6) I'm not entirely sure I've got the right mental attitude but at least it's something else to care about.
Had a blow-up at DH this morning. Things are a bit rubbish between us and not being helped, I think, by my concentration on ttc. Probably I need to back off a bit, although the moment I say that to myself, my initial instinct is 'probably he needs to get over himself and stop being such an arse'

Oh 'tis I, by the way, can't remember if I've taken off my halloween mask here yet - LadyBee. Boo! did I scare you?

I am here in the background......have kids lergy and feeling a tad pants.

Magicsis gone in for induction this eve after further probs and a very uncooperative baby. Feel very anxious for her...............

Viv hope you are tanned to the max, Moo, Pritty and me other lovelies I will catch up ron via craptop/bed.

Mwah [hsmile] x

Hello ladies - thank you for all your kind thoughts and wishes

viv - thank you hun, I do feel like we have bounced along a bit together but I will be stalking watching you right up till the point you have your little one - so keep giving the updates :)

ladyboo you are right - I feel differently about this mmc. I was 2 days from having my 12 week scan - which would have been nearly 13 weeks when I had a small bleed. I was just starting to think things would be ok - and my god am I angry, and sad, and bewildered. The unfair thing is I had a scan at 8 +6 and all was fine - when I had the scan last week - baby measuerd 8+6 - so it must have happened right around the time of the scan. How cruel.

urd Its so shit to find out on a scan like that so hugs to you too xx

cariboumoo am hoping to follow your lead and fall pg straight away :) My friend had an erpc and fell pregnant within a month so I am hoping for one of those please!

magic glad your beans doing well - looks like your sis will be busy tonight :)

even though I am going through all this crap - my DP is fab, and I am so lucky. He has gone back to germany (which was hard)today but he is back next week. He has cooked, cleaned, washed, shopped, and held me whilst I have bawled my head off. A true gem - and its his birthday today too :)

I am really worried that my story will worry orhers, but it really shouldn't. Enjoy your pregnancies and scans :)

:( Good luck for all that have scans coming up - I still love to hear all the positive news and healthy bean stories !! xx

battery just popping on to see how you are doing? glad your DP has been around for a while to look after you.

magic sorry to hear you've got the dreaded lurgy. Am dreading getting something due to my love all things pharmaceutical
please let us know how magicsis gets on x

right I'm off to catch up on downton abbey the ironing - the glamour!

Just realised there is a :( face when there should have been a :) face for the scans - obviously I am a typing bufoon (sp!!)

clareana thanks for looking in on me .... am not doing too badly today xx

Battery I've been thinking of you particuarly. Your DP sounds like he's been brilliant. You need it.

Viv your holiday sounds fab. Oohh a TT announcement. I must get organised, I've always wanted to see them, even back in the day.

Ladyboo [hshock] you scared me [hgrin]

Double congrats to littlemiss glad the day went well.

I wondered if can any of you recommend a new strategy for supplements for me. I have been taking folic acid for what seems forever and my supply has finally run out. I want to take something a bit more helpful, but not sure what. I'm not very sure if I'm ovulating every month at the moment. Was wondering about pregnacare or Zita West or something like that. What are your suggestions?

I feel like I'm just emerging from a fog of building work and can finally start thinking about the rest of life.

Big waves to everyone else, Magic, Cheepz, Pretty, Digi, CaribouMoo, Urd, Clareanna and all you lovely ladies.

Morning Freezing lovely x

I was on Pregnacare Conception, and on the cycle that I fell pg, had taken Evening Primrose capsules up until ov, and zinc capsules for the whole cycle. That was the only cycle that I'd taken those extra supplements so not sure whether it was a fluke or not, really! DH was on Pregnacare for Boys and Zinc capsules as well. (They were the Seven Seas zinc capsules with extra Vit C which meant they tasted like purple opal fruits! Much nicer than the Pregnacare ones!)

Morning all,

How you feeling today digi? been thinking of you.
Good to hear you have been taken good care of battery xx

Feeling a little less hopeful today myself, I keep looking for signs - had a little cramping yesterday, still feel like I'm on a merry go round of sickness. Who knows what's going on!

On the supplements front I have been taking the Tommy's pregnancy tablets, they are like horse tablets mind you! Yummm to purple opal fruits!

Last day off work today, not quite sure how my body will take to the morning commute by boat at 8am.. at least work is very busy and I'm hoping it will help me keep my mind off things a little.

Love to all x

Take That have just gone and ruined my day. Sigh. I know I should be happy given the prevailing circumstances and all that, but for fuck's sake, I wait fifteen fucking years for them to tour with Robbie and they set the dates for three weeks after I'm due. The bastards.

Hi all. Sorry haven't been on much. I'm coming to the end of the 2WW and symptom spotting like mad (it is driving me in-sane, i tell you!).

battery I got all choked up at your post about your DH holding you whilest you sobbed. It must be so shit for them as well, what can they say or do to take the pain away and of course they've lost their dreams too. It's so nice that he was able to be with you and support you, he sounds scrummy

viv LOL - darn those Take that boys!

digi good luck for the scan today, can't wait to hear all is ok for you.

Hello from Magicsnotsville
Off for scan shortly, 19 weeks today. Hopefully the beans are still growing nicely and one not getting more than the other. Magicsis now on labour ward and was induced this morn, she is in labour room 8
Viv at TT, how very dear they!
Hippy Good luck for the end of the 2ww I will be checking in for updates!
Hi to Littlemiss Freezing and clare I haven't forgotten your badge!
Love the name change btw Ladyboo
Extra big hug for Battery xxxxxx
MooMoo and Pritty how are yous two lovelies doing? And what about Jolls? xxxxxxxx

Hello, just popped in to see if there was any news from digi..... Hope all is well love.

viv sucks bout TT but I think the trip to London would be good! Sure petit bebe wouldn't mind and Daddy can have a bonding day? Once in a lifetime and I'm led to believe it's a one off tour with the 5 of them. Easy for me to say though! I got the yummy purple zinc supplements too after you mentioned them a while back.

hippy good symptoms? Hope so!

soontobeauntiemagicsnotball sorry you have lurgy, get well soon. Hope all goes well with your sister! Very exciting x

ladyboo (((( hugs )))) for you as you are feeling pants, hope things start to feel better for you soon and that you and DH are ok now.

I'm feeling a bit fed up at the mo, I dunno if it's the sudden change in the weather, it's pissing down here. Or it might be the couple that have just sat on the
seats next to me on a fucking empty train with a small baby that the woman is now breastfeeding. I should get up and move but I feel rude and it'll look like I object to her breastfeeding. Fucking Bollocks.

Hello to battery, pretty, jolls, clareanna and freezing and anyone else I've missed x

Hello too to moo and littlemrs as I just realised I missed you x

Oh feck, I'm rubbish, good luck for scan auntiesmagicsnotball xxx

Not good news. Baby only measures 6+3, should be 7+2. Hb very slow. They want to re-scan me next week. They won't do anything while there's a heartbeat even if it's slow. I have to wait for the hb to stop before they'll consider management.

Anyone have this and go on to have a successful pregnancy?

digi I haven't had previous experience of this so can't be alot of help I'm afraid, what did they say at hospital? Anything reassuring or was it just a case of wait and see? Try not to drive yourself crazy googling everything though (((hugs))) x

digi :( measurements are notoriously inaccurate at this stage, aren't they? Really, really hope the scan next week gives you better news.

Magic8 Fingers crossed for your scan today also.

Big squish for Battery , hope you're okay x

(Ps. replace -giblets with -shoes, obviously.)

digi - have replied to you on the other thread my lovely xx I am sure someone will be along with some good success stories soon xx

owls squish gratefully received thank you :) love the name - think I might change mine to batterybat for halloween [hgrin]

Today I have organised a reflexology appointment for next week, a consultation with an accupuncturist, and a follow up with the GP tomorrow. Really - I sound like I have been busy, but this has been done from the sofa whislt cramming dairy milk into my mouth xx

digi so sorry you're having all this worry. I think the difference between 6+3 and 7+2 is probably a teeny tiny milimeter so would try to be hopeful. I don't know much about the heartbeat thing. Did they say it could pick up? There are no words I can say to calm you, short of , "I have invented a time machine - get in!"

I hope the next week is ok for you and that next week brings better news. I've had 2 MC's as well and I know it is impossible to think about anything else for more than a second. Lots of love to you and yours. ((())) X

Thanks. I asked about whether the heartbeat could pick up or if the growth might catch up and she wouldn't even say it could she just said research has shown that at this stage nothing is conclusive.

I don't know how I'm supposed to get through the next 7 days. I'm praying for a miracle.

digi big hug for you. Wish we could make the next 7 days pass quickly for you - we're here for handholding and lots of positive thoughts coming your way x

viv assuming you're not 2 weeks late I say book a ticket in seated area, miss the support acts and you should be fine for the main event! Instruct dh to park himself and baby in a nearby cafe so you can pop out if necessary, otherwise get cracking with some expressing as soon as you can to ensure there's a feed. Where there's a will theres a way!!! Now I just need to work out how to get my tickets at work on Friday!

magic16s hope all good for you too

Oh Digi, that's rotten news. I'm sorry you are being put through so much worry. The week will be an awful wait, just hoping everything works out for you. Have you asked around on the other threads if anyone has a positive story after something similar happening.

Take care pal, I'll be thinking about you.
