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

[notsobarrenmorebrokenbrook]

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.

Jolls, are you at my house???

Hope all goes well at your APT BB x

nicks have been concerned for some time that we are the same person.

But am mightily relieved, as have just seen on another thread that you like 4d scans, and they totally freak me out, so phew... we must be 2 people after all .

Nope you cant be at my house, you dont have a murdered baby rabbit on the drive courtesy of teeny puss!

I havent had a 4D scan yet - want to try it - but unsure

Just a quickie to wish bb best of luck for appointment today xx

Good luck bb.

Feeling a little bit <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=image64.webshots.com/164/2/25/86/534122586Cfqdfc_ph.jpg&imgrefurl=family.webshots.com/photo/1534122586074256231Cfqdfc&usg=__Zc0cs9Pm8T8vW9qJnWH-qaiwiF0=&h=600&w=800&sz=76&hl=en&start=33&zoom=1&tbnid=zy8ZTehBBmg5SM:&tbnh=129&tbnw=159&ei=PtpsTf-fEpH14Qa8_cW5BA&prev=/images%3Fq%3Deeyore%27s%2Bgloomy%2Bplace%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3DE33%26sa%3DX%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26biw%3D1024%26bih%3D551%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C798&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=318&oei=NtpsTaPyKZG1hAeR2I2RDA&page=3&ndsp=17&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:33&tx=69&ty=91&biw=1024&bih=551" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Eeyore's gloomy place TM but not as bad as the other day. izz I don't really know if I have the mental strength to throw away the chart yet! I think maybe next month. I am quite attached to this month as I have always previously got PG in and around Feb/March... Silly.

Hope all went ok today BB

Sorry you're feeling down YRMOTB, it's not much I know but here have some banana & choc chip muffins I baked.

I'm realising the feeling of nausea I was feeling probably were real but most likely due to a lingering chest infection that seems to have reared it's ugly head again (for the 4th time) grr.

Anyway weves to everyone as usual x

that'll be waves even

Good luck BB!!

YRMOTB Glad you are feeling a bit more on the up, hope your luck starts to turn now. March is a great time to get preggas (xmas baby) I have chart attachment too. I just read the link about suspending and went pale at the thought of not being able to access charts at all. Me and charting just go way too deep to be seperated so finally like that.

jolls/nix I love 4D scans! I got one every month with DS (in my routine check ups with doc, not expensive at all here at 30 quid a pop) We got such good pics of DS's chubby chops that he ended up appearing on daytime TV slot!

for babes

I miss the charts. Feel very much in limbo at the moment, am not pregnant, not ttc, not testing, not even in recovery as ERPC is tomorrow (MummyA, initial consultation was monday to get ERPC scheduled and give history, get blood type/count etc).

bbb so today was the appt for adeny-thing? I really hope you get some sort of answer or plan.

YRMOTB sorry looks like I missed your party. 7 is an excellent number, btw, I hope it's lucky for you.

loola great news at the weight loss, that's brilliant, well done! I've decided that while I'm not doing any of the things listed above, I will concentrate on weight, I was very slack in the last year with lots of "if I'm not having a baby I'll have cake" excuses, and now it's time to do something about it.

mummyA actually, the tightness in chest is something I had too - and I suspect it's not just an anxiety thing but a progesterone-related pg symptom - it can cause a bit of breathlessness in early pg for some reason. There now, another symptom, you can relax a bit more

Will be back later hoping to hear news from bbb

LadyB Limbo is not a good place, I have been in that position myself. When I finally had an ERPC it was at least nice to know that "it was over" and I was in recovery rather than being in that half and half pregnant/but not pregnant place. Hope it all goes smoothly for you. Good to know the anxiety thing is not just me. xxx

Hello all, thanks for all your good luck wishes. So appointment went ok, saw Raj Rai who was lovely, very eccentric and amusing but very knowledgeable all the same. Essentially all the tests they've done have come back clear and there's nothing wrong! I'm glad, but I'm not if you see what I mean?! Anyway, I've got to go in for hsg next Tues and then back to see Raj again the following Tues for the results and a plan.

If I'm honest I'm a bit deflated, I don't know why, I think I was expecting a solution but as yet there isn't one. I know that's a good thing that there's nothing wrong so I'm a little bemused by me feeling deflated.

I'm now thinking, if the hsg doesn't show anything, that I need to get tested for NK cells as I can't see how 4 mc, all around 6 weeks can be just shitty luck.

Hey ho.

Hope everyone's doing ok today, sorry for not name checking, bit confuddled at the mo

(( bb )) sorry you're feeling deflated. It is good news of course, as you say, but I can understand why you're struggling - in a way it would be easier to have something to pin it on, a defined problem that you could solve and know that next time would be ok. I guess it takes some getting your head around?

Big ((hugs)) and a commiserating to yrmotb - as you know, I found the start of this cycle really difficult too and I know Eeyore's Gloomy Place is not a great place to be But like you say, maybe this is your "lucky" time of year? I hope so x

ladybee - I hope you're coping - it's awful being at the in-between bit . Will be thinking of you tomorrow lovely - big (((hugs))) xx

I am wondering whether to try SMEP again this month or to just leave it and have a month off altogether (or at least, without any "regime"!). If we're SMEP-ing then we need to swi tonight, but I am feeling irrationally with dh for taking the baby car seat out of the garage for space and leaving it in the kitchen, like a constant reminder that I have nothing to put in it. He is insisting on hanging onto all the baby things "just in case" but it is really doing my head in having stuff around, especially when it's in my way. If I'm honest I would just like to take the whole lot to the charity shop/dump as appropriate - I've no idea if we'll ever need it all again but if we do I doubt I'll begrudge the cost of a new car seat.

Sorry - rant over!! And I've been doing so well with not obsessing this cycle too!

BB Good news!! but I can see why you're feeling deflated, I think when you have these appointments you expect them to say 'right this is whats wrong... and heres a magic wand to fix it' and when that doesn't happen you are disappointed (not you but everyone IYSWIM) It is good news though and at least you are one step further along the track.

Lady Good to 'see' you! I was also in the eat cake mindset during PG then MC and tbh its taking a lot to get out of it!
I really want to get some weight off though, as I think that it can only help when it comes to conceiving. The pg I MC I had conceived naturally for the 1st time in my life (DCs were both IUI & IVF respectively)and it just so happened that I had lost 2.5stone just before hand (have since put it back on!) The weight loss must have had a lot to do with conceiving, its too much of a coincidence that it didn't.

mummya Laparascopy is to look for endometriosis (as if PCOS isn't bad enough ) they may also carry out a hysteroscopy at the same time- they don't really know until they do the lap 1st! Hopefully if there is endo they can treat it there and then

Izzy & YRM Hope you are both feeling better have a bunch of to cheer you both up

Sorry Izzy x posts!

hello ladies :)

bb glad your appointment went well. I know how you feel about everything being normal which doesn't give you any answers. When my bloods came back as postive for factor v leiden, I had them done straight after my last MC, so I have a feeling if they took them now they might be normal???So I don't want them to take them now as I want to have my plan for aspirin and heparin in place...not sure that that makes sense?

lady I hope tomorrow goes ok xx I hate the limbo stage. I hope you get some peace after tomorrow and move forward xx

izzy I wish I could SMEP!! I fly to germany on Tuesday to try and shag like rabbits catch the eggy. I hope I don't OV early. that would be typical :(

Sorry to people missing charts. I had a bit of a 'oh my god' moment today when I realised I wouldn't be able to tell if I had ovulated or not... however considering I get lots of OV pain I am sure I will be ok!

So hysteroscopy tomorrow [gulp]. I will be taking lots of pain killers, but I will also be asking the nurse not to tell me anything I am really squeamish about stuff like that [puke emoticon]

Good luck for the hysteroscopy tomorrow battery ! I second the not needing to know every detail, although tbh I think I passed my squeamish threshold some time ago in the ttc/pg/childbirth/mc mess . My threshold is pretty high though - irritatingly, it was dh who felt faint during the wouldn't-stop-bleeding palaver following dd's birth

Sorry you didnt get any specific answers BB, I totally understand. It would have been nice to have something concrete to look at.. but like IZ says it is good news (shrouded in a dark disguise) good plan re the NK's ((hugs for you my lovely)

BEE all the best for tomorrow my sweetie xxx i will be thinking of you xxx

Hi BB I just popped in to see how you were doing. Yes it's very dispiriting when they say there's nothing wrong as that means there's nothing they can promise to do to cure it. I hope the hsg shows something. On the other hand I was told that there was absolutely nothing wrong with me and I should consider IUI or IVF and after 5 months of not really trying, a new job .... along came spontaneous twins. Maybe losing hope is the way to go forward

Good luck in scheduling the hsg.

BB you are not alone with that weird feeling of wanting them to find something, I had exactly the same feeling when all my bloods came back normal. As loola said though it is a step along the way, it might not feel like it but even being able to rule out some of the basic problems has got you a little bit further in your journey.
I think the nice thing about the HSG is that even if it comes back all clear - its still worth doing for the "jetwash" effect - nice shiney clean tubes gives you a fertility boost. So it wont be a wasted effort whatever the outcome.

battery will be thinking of you tomorrow. Are you going with your mum after all? Hope you get the best nurses ever and that it all goes quickly and smoothly. xxx

loola thats funny, I had a hyst and scheduled with the possibility of a lap, and you have it the other way around! They did an HSG first and when they saw the tubes were open didnt need to do the lap. Hope it all goes well xxx

Hugs and this large stash of booze for all that need them xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thinking of you both for tomorrow battery and ladybee

bb great news but I do understand your feelings. Hope you feel a bit better about it all soon

yrmotb glad you enjoyed your party. Sorry you are keeping eeyore company right now, hopefully this is your lucky time if year.

How is everyone else getting on?

I am not enjoying being back at work after half term!

BB I remember feeling like that about being referred to the miscurrent MC clinic. A part of me wanted them to find something that was wrong and then just give me a wee tablet that would make it all go away. Its understandable to feel like that. You keep asking away and checking out NK cells too if you think it will help. I'm sure Pretty will give you advice, good luck.

Bee hope you're muddling along alright. I'm glad you found us all here, although would much rather be seeing you on the grads thread - hopefully soon. When are you moving back home?

YRMOTB big hugs for you, i know it wears you down month after month and long cycles are a bloody curse. Hang on in there pal.

Good luck for tomorrow Battery x

What's with all the bold! I wasn't trying to copy you MummyA!

oops, my bold was accidental too! I think there is a gremlin on the thread.
