Don't play on internet, just with family and friends. We try to have a poker evening once a week. I played in a ladies night at a local casino and I came 2nd out of 24!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoops, clicked post too soon...

Diddle - I'm sure if this is your month it will happen!! I have faith How are you feeling now?

Maddy - glad you are listening to your body and getting plenty of rest. Sleep is good

Hi ladies, haven't been on this post for a while....found a lump on my boob the other week & so felt a bit too emotional to post on here (all seems to be ok, hopefully just a cyst) Being keeping up on the others though

Well, have had more moods the last few days, week before seemed to spend every other day sobbing, last week, managed to contain, now just an old bag . Will find out if AF arrives next week, or if I am pregnant - fingers crossed.

Hello everyone

Too much lurgy around here. I hope you're all feeling a bit better tonight.

Hi maddyd. I haven't 'talked' to you before. I've been lurking for a while. AF is due tomorrow and I've had all of the usual cramps. I was hoping they were early pg symptoms, but I think I'm going to be disappointed this month.

CH. AKA Cool Hand Coat. Poker eh? I wouldn't have the first idea how to play it.

Hello to everyone else too. XX

PMSL!!!! Cool Hand Coat!! Love it!!!!

Mojo - Has a doctor told you the lump is a cyst? Fingers crossed you get a BFP - when are you due to test??

I'm off to bed now. I'm feeling bloody awful tonight. I'm coughing like a chain smoker (don't smoke BTW!) and got a headache that feels like I've been subjected to Chinese water torture for the last 6 days!!! I'm going to dose myself up on paracetamol and get some shut eye!

Hope you all have sweet dreams. Nighty-night! XXX

Last month my cycle was 27 so that means it was due last thurs..

However all though thats my normal cycle length,since loosing Philippa I have had cycles from 30-35 days.I keep getting pains and think this is it then I have the runs so I must have a bug? Wiping myself all the time and got sore tingling boobs and back but still cant get hopes up as had all this before and then AF arrived.

Went to a memorial service at the hospital today for all the lost babies.We got a letter from the Hospital priest who was with me at the birth,inviting us.It was so nice.We sang and read poetry and put our babies names on a leaf and the priest hung them on a tree.We also each added a piece of felt to a mosiac which shows the symbol of The Miscarriage Association.I light a candle and Philippas name was read out in prayers.We then went outside and formed a circle and let go of a balloon each.I picked a pink on efor her and as I watched it float into the sky I imagined her catching it.

I wept but I felt better for going and I put a leaf they gave me in the service book and put it in my memory box.Dh and dd came and when I looked at all the childless mums I felt SO lucky to have my daughter.

I know many of you are still waiting to hold your own child and today for the first time I heard a song being sung which the words really struck a chord.Its probably been mentioned here before but I just looked it up and it was written by the father of Robert who was stillborn.I have reprinted it here,Hope you dont mind.

Sweet Little Child Of Mine?
Written and performed by Andrew Scott (Copyright Control) for Robert

Sweet little child of mine
Why did you have to go?
Never thought I would say goodbye
Before I said hello

Sweet little child of mine
Keep asking why it was so
I?ve asked the question a thousand times
But the answer?s I don?t know

You?ve gone with all the other children
Who left this world too soon
And God knows why
Only wish that I knew too

Sweet little child of mine
I?ve found it so hard to pray
I was angry with God and I shouted out loud
Why did you take my son away?

Sweet little child of mine
I?ve doubted my faith that?s true
But deep down inside something I can?t deny
I know my brother?s watching over you

God you have your own reasons
For doing the things that you do
I don?t understand why
But in my heart I hope it?s true

Sweet little child of mine
Keep asking why you can?t stay
As time goes by I get no reply
But I know we?ll meet again one day

Sweet little child of mine
Still hurts that we had to part
But over the years there are fewer tears
Because you?re living in my heart
Over the years there are fewer tears
Because you?re living in my heart

CP - I can't keep the tears from coming, not just at the poem but at what you went through yesterday, all the ways of speaking to your baby. That was beautiful, you are a strong person to have gone through that, i would have been a mess. My hopes and wishes are with you, i hope you are pregnant this month, i really do, you deserve to be, we all do.

Morning to everyone else, be back later going to do my hair now

Morning all.
Cp- Awwwwwww bless hun! Made me well up!
xena- Fingers crossed today hunny!! We're thinking of you.
Ch- Sure, I'll send him round first thing in the morning or send some by courier?

Ch- Meant to say congrats on being such a poker fiend!

How's everyone today?
Still got this cold but think it's going (thank goodness). had the worst headache last night. Drinking lemsips and eating healthy brekkie!

Morning all. Cp stop making me cry my hormones are shot. You are so brave going to the memorial service. I couldnt go to mine and havnt even faced going to read the memory baby book in the chapel. Its different for me though as lost mine alot earlier. How are you doing? Im sure the service did you alot of good so you dont bottle up all your emotions. If i could give my baby to you Cp i would honestly i would. Im so lucky to have what i have that i feel guilty when you and Shelly and Diddle and Lottie are in the situations that you are.
Any chance of a group hug

Bubble you should have joined in sooner, we are a friendly bunch as youve prob worked out. Sorry about your loss. I havnt scrolled down enough but when did you miscarry and how far on were you?? If its any help im still sure my af is going to turn up.Good Luck and i hope it stays away

Right here Maddy!
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{group}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Cp- Can't stop reading that song. I have to though, otherwise my eyes will be puffy and red when I wake dp. Hope this is your month hun! I really do.
I so want to be pg but I'm so terrified. if anything went wrong that would mean I've lost 5 baies (possibly more). Not sure if my body or mind could take it but unless we try we never know.
Here's to everyone becoming pg and all delivering (safely) happy, healthy bundles of joy. x

Morning ladies!

CP - you were so brave doing what you did yesterday. But I understand why you did it and the ways in which you remembered Philippa are gorgeous. I hope more than anything else that you are PG this month, as Diddle said, you deserve it so much. You all deserve it. You all have qualities that are essential for making a great mummy, and God wouldn't have given you those gifts if he wasn't going to make you all mummys. CP, I have everything crodded that AF will stay away and it is your month {{{HUGS}}}

HK - Glad you are feeling better today, hun. I'm really hoping it your month too. When are you due to test? (I know I have asked before but this cold has turned my already slightly mushy brain in to porridge!!!) xxx

Maddy - Be positive sweetheart. I'm sure everything is going to be absolutely fine. You need to relax and take things as easy as possible. Keep your self in a positive mood and take good care of yourself - anf make sure you are pampered!!

You all derserve those little bundles of lovliness, and you will get them, I'm sure. You will all make fabby Mummys and I know God knows that too. Who's testing next??

Morning ladies

Well, I should just cut and paste last month's entries 'AF in full flow and a horrid migraine' BAH!

CHOCOLATEPEANUT-hugs to you ((xx)) I do so hope this is your month!

Hello to everyone else-have a good day!

xx

Ch- if I go by last month, should be ov next week then due back on just under 3 weeks. So no testing for a little while.
How are you feeling now hun?

Hc- Hope it eases for you hun! Feel bad enough with this headache let alone a migraine! Poor you!

HC - really sorry to hear about AF. I'm due today. Had all sortss of achiness - could be anything. I'll test tomorrow.

CP - good luck for when you test

Morning All,

Hi Coathanger, yes had an ultrasound on boob & the lady said she was positive it's a cyst. Have you had something similar ?

AF is due Sat/Sun. Interestingly (or not!) my reflexologist said I WOULDN'T conceive this months. The truth will out at the weekend...5 days & counting...

Mojo- I had the same thing a couple of months ago. The sonographer was sure it was just a tissue mass, and the biopsy results were clear too.

missmibaby - hope you get your bfp, and either way we're here to support you.

Mojomummy - I was going to try reflexology, is it any good?

Hi Diddle, yes, I'd say reflexology was interesting. Just popping to toddler group - we're all ready late so will update you later if that's ok, bye

the scan was OK baby grown plenty they are agreeing with my dates now. the h/b was fine.
