The resurrection of the 6th form common room for those inbetweeners who are TTC/PG after mc and are too long in the tooth to fit anywhere else

The resurrection of the 6th form common room, a place to put your feet up, wallow in self pity (me) or rejoice (and tremble in fright) at new growing beans and baybees after mc. No lists. No stats. No babydust. No feeling bad if you can't keep up.

Go.

Hoorah! South East will be great. I'm sure you'll find something truly special eventually but I can imagine it is a time-consuming and often frustrating search.

hey PV it turns out I have Leiden Factor V, so need to have aspirin and heparin/clexane injections daily once pg confirmed to try to prevent sticky blood causing another MC.

I'm attempting to make a potato gratin tonight. Such a risky dish. It should be total creamy/carby yumminess but so often just turns into wierdly runny slightly undercooked disappointment. I'm going for the full lard option tonight and have par-cooked the potatoes so hopefully will have something closer to the yum side of the spectrum.

Bee Shock that's fookin' terrible!
You have been told the problem, you've been told the solution and now they are dragging their feet.
Would it definitely cause another MC?
Pardon my ignorance.
Please tell me to mind my own, sorry Blush keep calling them, keep reminding them, ask them why and when and what for and who.
Make a pain in the arse of yourself, if you don't (in the nicest way of course)someone else will be doing so and the more noise you make the less likely they will bump you.
The NHS is fab but stretched, you are not asking for much, you're not being unreasonable
This is very important.
Sorry for stating the bleedin' obvious
Hope the gratin went well. Smile

Oooo, forgot to say hey to Hairy!
Long time no see.
You still Chrimbofied, yes?
I'm bit fick at the mo.

Lady can you let me know what that hypnosis app is, I'll try anything. I can't even temp because my insomnia causes the temps to be erratic. Good luck getting the drugs tomorrow Grin

Ladybee · 09/01/2011 21:59

PV I know, it's shit. I'll be back on the phone tomorrow believe me. I just hate doing this stuff. I bought some baby aspirin over the counter so at least I can start that and the injections weren't going to start til after a sac had been seen but that should be this week coming up, so I want to know what my plan should be. Made more complicated by teh fact that it's a tricky week at work to be trying ot take time off.

MamaP it's called 'Relax Completely', (icon says 'Deep Relax', by Darren Marks. It's free so no waste if it doesn't work for you.

Mamapower · 10/01/2011 11:00

Thanks Lady will download tonight! Hope you have put the old dears in the practice in their place and gone back to Plan A this morning Smile

youremindmeofthebabe · 10/01/2011 12:22

ladybee Good luck for getting hold of doctors/ receptionists without power issues/drugs etc.

clareanna · 10/01/2011 12:47

lady I'm feeling feisty today so if you want me to hit the phone for you I will do!!! hope you manage to get it all sorted

Ladybee · 10/01/2011 20:08

I am pregnantandterrifiedwoman, hear me roar!

Today, after a few phone calls and messages, I received a call back from my consultant's secretary saying she's put me on his list for this wednesday. Huzzah! double huzzah as it's my usual day off, so only needed to scramble to check whether DH could look after DS for the morning rather than drag him into the hospital waiting room. Triple huzzah, because he wrote back within 5 mins saying all sorted.

So...hurdle no.2 jumped....several hundred more to go but can stop being angry at the world now at least.

clareanna · 10/01/2011 22:29

Fab news bee
Will you have to inject yourself everyday? Brave lady!!

digitalgirl · 11/01/2011 15:32

Mind if I slink back in?

Belated congrats to PV Grin

clareanna · 11/01/2011 18:18

digi! how are you my lovely?

CaribouMoo · 11/01/2011 19:24

Good news on the drugs Bee and being persistent about it. You being feisty Clare? I had rage for about the last 3 months with DD, maybe you're having a spot of that?

Hello Digi, good to see you again - how have you been doing?

notsobarrenmorebrokenbrook · 12/01/2011 20:19

Hey, bee excellent news on getting appt, how did it go?? How are you doing? I think I read on the other thread you'd been feeling pukey, hurrah!

digi!!!!! hello lovely, how are you?

How's everyone else doing? In bb world I had a letter from hospital today saying that the internal womb scan I had done with dildocam shows signs of adenomyosis. What the f**k is that I ask myself! Am off to research Internet and no doubt scare myself daft with all sorts of horror stories.

Bysey bye for now x

digitalgirl · 12/01/2011 22:04

Oh BB have no what that is. Hopefully it's treatable, and then you'll be fixed!

Am ok, we're ttc-ing (round 4). Had all the rmc tests and now waiting for clotting and karyotyping test results. DH had semen analysis and they told him it was low volume and there were abnormal forms present. But told not to worry just do another test in a few weeks and we'll take it from there. Am now worried that his abnormal sperm keeps fertilising my eggs...but I suppose one of the good ones will get through eventually, no?

Mamapower · 13/01/2011 16:09

BB so, What the f**k is that?? Did you find out?
News here: AF on it's way and dd on Mon so slight melt down as I really wanted to be diffed before then but hey ho! Good news though, We had our offer accepted and I can now reveal it is in the Jewel of the High Weald... Tenterden! It is a Restaurant/wine bar very upmarket and glamourous! Ohhhhh I can't wait! Next best thing to a BFP! Any of you live that way or know it... I could invite you to opening night Wink We're not celebrating just yet... lot of legal stuff to get done but fingers crossed!

How's everyone else?

PrettyVacant1 · 14/01/2011 15:40

Hey Peeps,
Bee fab news on getting the app.
Sorry if I came across as rude,(stating obvious) I meant they should realise the importance as I'm sure you are fully aware of it.
I'll just shut up now eh. Blush

Ooooo, and I downloaded an app to help me sleep, decided to listen to it about 4am the other morning.
Put it on quite low and closed my eyes listening to the nice man with the nice soft voice talk about deep breathing and imagining beaches,waves and peace.
Nearly drifting off when DP woke up, groaning about some creepy voice interrupting his sleep!
Ooooops Blush

Mad wave to Digi
How you doin' missus Grin

MamaP
Congratulations on the offer.
I love Tenterden, it's beautiful.
When I'm visiting the Outlaws in Pluckers we'll have to descend upon you. Wink

Ladybee · 14/01/2011 16:51

Hey pv I didn't read it as being aimed me - no worries!
So I do now have the drugs, appt on weds turned into long and arduous trial but did eventually come home clutching two weeks worth - next step is an appt with clinic to show me how to inject self. I suspect they tried to call me to set appt as there's a blocked number missed call showing on phone. Then another scan to see whether things developing ok.
This is so nerve-wracking. Am currently just over 5 wks
and symptoms are so unsteady, get some nausea wavelets some days but mostly not, tired sometimes but mostly not. Hey ho, am doing what inneed to and the rest is luck .

How's everyone else?

clareanna · 14/01/2011 17:36

bb any more info? Were you getting any symptoms/ pain with it?

bee glad you've got your meds sorted we're all sending good luck vibes your way too

mrspv urgh to ms- its the worst thing ever. Lol at your dp waking up to strange man's voice in the bedroom!!

mamap great news on landlady-ness!

My scan was fine, feel ok today. Had the option to move my c section date back a week to 10 feb so it's only 2 days before my due date and have decided to do it - will give baby more time to cook (although they reckon he's already 7 lbs!)

nickstermum · 15/01/2011 08:13

Hope you are all ok Grin Grin Grin

clareanna · 15/01/2011 16:14

clareanna · 15/01/2011 20:52

Hurrah! New restaurant, new home, new baby!!
Fantastic news - hope you are feeling ok- fingers crossed for you Grin

NewImprovedJollster · 16/01/2011 08:04

Hey MamaP - BIG congrats to you - and Tenterden is great news too Grin. All this excitement at once!

And nickster good to see you - hope all is dull with you?

Trust everyone else is diddling ok.

Mid way through 2ww here, am CD20 today. Don't feel remotely pregnant, am symptomless! TBH just having a decent length cycle would be a result, last month was 27 days after 2 22 day cycles. Am mindful I have a due date coming up at the end of Feb, and if I'm not pg that would be a bit :(. But determined not to get all consumed by things. Famous last words Hmm.

Right have sausages to cook - tarra x

Mamapower · 16/01/2011 10:11

Thanks Clare and Jolls been a crazy old week... hoping I'm on a roll of good luck Grin

Jolls ... my dd is Monday and it is a crushing thought that I wouldn't be diffed by then, and I felt exactly the same, I was consumed and have been so lucky to get my bfp jus 2 days before... fx crossed for you Smile
