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.

ah izz I spent some time folding up my maternity clothes, that I'd just taken down from a cupboard, and sorting out various bathroom cupboards I've just had to deal with my TENS machine, the CBFM, and trying to workout what to do with my leftover clexane shots (I'm optimistically keeping them). DH came home to a very soggy Bee. Sad

Lovely that you're getting guinea pigs though, I'm really hoping that when we're settled in our new place we can get a kitten. DS has been feeding our CM's cats and he's so proud of that I think he'd really enjoy it now.

I took a little lurking look at the 'one-child family' thread this morning, but it just made me sad. I'm not ready to accept that as our family just yet, despite having spoken about the concept with DH and knowing just how lucky we are to have him. I was quite envious of the ladies there who have always known they only want one, though. I used to have 'Four' as my answer...can't see that happening.

Sorry, I know those trying for their first are probably gritting their teeth right now. I do know we've been incredibly lucky with DS, turns out he really was a 10% chance for me.

YRMOTB yep, tightie whities are all frayed from over use and packed away in the cupboard Grin. I wont be wearing polka dot ones again any time soon though as the other morning I got woken up by DS pointing to each dot and "counting" them: "one, two, free, semem, ocho, nueve, diez!" Bless his funny bilingual socks. Grin

I think my post looks all insensitive next to bees! Sorry if I have offended anyone. Big squeeze to anyone who needs one.

Bee I think you are very brave reading that thread, I saw the title several times but havent had the guts to open it.

Chloe55 · 03/03/2011 20:15

Bee I know what you mean totally. I am the first out of my group of friends to have a dc, he is now 5, 3 years later and still no sign of my second Sad A couple of friends are in the process of TTC and it's been a fair few months for one or two of them and they regularly say to me 'well at least you have ds' they are right, thank God I do but that doesn't stop me pining as much for another as I did for my first. We all have a plan of how we would like our life to be but it never works that way does it? Angry

YRMOTB I'm good thanks! Have felt more positive this month than I have in a while and this second dose of Clomid isn't half as unbearable as the first so am pleased about that. Thanks for asking.

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 03/03/2011 20:27

((( ladybee ))) I know, I feel really guilty for feeling Sad when I know how lucky I am to already have two...I should stop moaning and get over it!!

yrmotb ok I'll give in and do the opks too, but only one a day not the mental three a day I was doing last cycle! And I will try and get back onto the SMEP bandwagon [focused emoticon]

Chloe hope you're doing ok? I think your attitude towards opks is pretty much like mine towards pregnancy tests...every month I poas and then think "there must be something wrong with this batch of Internet cheapies - they've never given me a positive!!" thus managing to avoid the realisation that the reason I've never got a bfp from them is that I've never been pg when I've peed on them Grin

mummya yay for the sexy knicks!! I completely get where you are with the pg paranoia - I had my mmc at 16 weeks so, like you, I suspect if I ever do get pg again I'll be relatively ok about the early stages, which have always gone ok for me, then have a complete meltdown after the 12 week scan. Anyway calm is good, keep it up x

batteryhen · 03/03/2011 20:29

Hello all,

Just popping into say hi and a squish to bee. After my last MMC I have had the pram put in a friends loft and the cot taken down. I am not supersticious (sp?)but I also did not want to look at them any more xx

looking out for mouse hope the scan was ok today lovely xx

izzy I have put FF on hold and don't miss it one bit ....yet!

mummya - your posts are not insensitive at all :)

All ok here, went back to work today after the hyterocospy, I did have tummy pain last night but think it was bowel more than anything else. Whenever I have anything gynae done my irritable bowel plays up. :(

But I am on boring cd8 today, am trying to hold off an egg till at least tuesday so I am in germany. I am exhausted with all the travelling. I can't wait for DP to come home for good!

Ladybee · 03/03/2011 20:42

mummyA nah - coloured pants are exciting Smile and really grinned at the vision of DS counting the spots. The last few days I've woken to the vision of DS staring intently at me about an inch away from my nose. Very unnerving.

chloe that's interesting to hear about the chlomid getting easier. I always feel like I've got chlomid lurking in the background somewhere...with PCOS, if the metformin doesn't work again then it'll be the next step. But thankfully so far it's been a good drug for me and I'll be stepping back up on it soon (have been taking a break).

Oof, I'm a bit sore and crampy feeling...might be time for another painkiller and then pizza.

Blackkat · 03/03/2011 21:16

to check for news from Mouse thinking of you xx

Ladybee thinking of you too, hope the cramps ease soon. Was so sorry to read your news. Sad

FWIW Clomid does definitely improve after the first cycle.

mousebacon · 03/03/2011 22:25

please forgive the copy and paste job - I'm knackered!

Hi ladies, thanks so much for asking after me. I had my scan today and unfortunately they found loads of stuff in there. So much so the lovely nurse said she thought it was probably molar.

She took some blood and I was seen by the registrar who booked me in for another erpc tomorrow. The bloods came back this afternoon and it's still round about the 280 mark so not molar - thank god.

Just feel really sad and disheartened today as I thought I'd be gearing up for trying again by now but I'm going right back to square one. The registrar is requesting that the consultant performs the op this time so fingers crossed for me please.

loola2shus · 03/03/2011 22:59

((( mouse ))) so sorry to hear that, but also a relief that its not molar, although thats obv no consolation Sad Good luck for tomorrow, when really be thinking of you xxx

Bee (((hugs))) for you too... I'm still putting off looking at the maternity clothes drawer Sad should really put them away but I haven't got the heart yet Sad Its funny how material things hold such meaning in these situations isn't it!

I have just started back on Met too, it isn't upsetting my tummy as much as I remember last time so thats a result! Enjoy your pizza xx

Battery Pleased you're feeling better after HSG, hold tiht onto that eggy Wink

mummya lol at your little bilingual chappy!

izzy & yrm I'm joining you on the smeg bandwagon...however I started on CD9 (1st day of no bleeding/spotting for 11 days Angry )& I can never be sure of ov date and think ov sticks would be a waste for me atm. So we will have to have plenty of stamina!

I can't give up my chart though Shock I only have 23 days left though so may not go VIP once they've ran out.

batteryhen · 04/03/2011 06:45

Quick pre-work post....

mouse crap news my love, however once you get this ERPC out of the way you will soon be on the TTC wagon. It should not take you long to OV after this one, so try not to be too down :( - easier said than done I know. Thinking of you today.

Happy Friday everyone :) xx

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 04/03/2011 06:51

Oh ((( mouse ))) I'm sorry things are dragging on for you like this Sad. Thinking of you today xxxx

Youremindmeofthebabe · 04/03/2011 10:35

Oh no mouse. So sorry to hear that. xx

MummyAbroad · 04/03/2011 14:43

Mouse Just PM'd you. Hope it goes well today and hope you get the best aftercare ever. xxx

loola2shus · 04/03/2011 17:03

Hope things went ok today mouse xx

Velvetcu · 04/03/2011 17:57

mouse sorry about your news, hope things went ok for you

mamapower · 04/03/2011 18:56

Mouse hope today has gone well (((hugs)))

izzy yrmotb how is SMEP going this cycle?

waves to all have a good weekend Smile

mousebacon · 04/03/2011 22:49

Hi ladies tis me the voice of doom again! I'm only on night release because after 10 hours in hospital today they decided someone more senior should do it tomorrow. Aaaggh!

So, I was nil by mouth from 9pm last night until 5pm so they put a drip in. I had the pessaries to prepare my cervix at 7.30 this morning so I started bleeding at about 10am and am now passing clots.

I'm really worried the won't even do the procedure tomorrow and will opt to scan and manage medically. I can't bear the thought of going back and forwards for god knows how long...

Dooooom!!!!

mamapower · 04/03/2011 22:55

mouse so sorry you are having a really shit time of it hon... probably a stupid thing to say but try and get some sleep and fx they get you in tomorrow (((hugs))) xx

mousebacon · 04/03/2011 22:59

Thanks love xx

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 04/03/2011 23:02

Big (((hugs))) Mouse I'm sorry you're being messed around. I guess it's good that a senior person is going to do it, but the waiting must be awful and I can understand your fear of being left to medical management and the distress of bleeding/clots Sad. Poor you. If they do suggest anything like that, and you just want the erpc, please try to stand your ground, cry (more) if you have to, just do what you need to get it sorted and get you through it. Hope you get some sleep tonight chica xxx

MummyAbroad · 04/03/2011 23:09

mouse I totally understand that you just want it to be all over, but I think it sounds good that they are taking their time to make sure that the procedure is done right. Ultimately getting it right now will mean a quicker recovery in the long run. 10 hours in the hospital is just awful, you poor thing! Hang in there, nothing this bad can last forever, one way or another you will get a clear uterus and be able to recover properly. Much love xxx

Ladybee · 04/03/2011 23:11

Good lord mouse that's horrendous Shock
So sorry that you are going through this, it's awful that this is not going smoothly - it feels like everything is just being piled up on you at the moment. I'm sure you're doing really well at keeping it together to cope with it all but do give yourself space afterwards to fall to pieces - noone should have to cope with that.

batteryhen · 04/03/2011 23:11

Poor mouse - you are having a tough old time :( Good in a way that they are bringing in the best for you, but crap that they didn't decide that earlier today.
Like the others say- do try and get some sleep and hopefully by this time tomorrow night it will all be over xx

mousebacon · 04/03/2011 23:33

Thank you all so much ladies. My positivity is taking a bit of a nose dive at the minute but I'll be ok. I'll do my best to let you know how it all goes tomorrow.

Better go to bed really - got to be at the hospital for 7am

Night all xxx
