What a roller coaster day

So sorry i have been a trembling mess xxxx

silverangel · 09/02/2011 16:32

Hi all, wow, emotional day on here...

Nickster - fantastic news!

Barbie - so very sorry for you Sad

Emoo - diziness much better today thanks, gone back to just being lightheaded on and off but have eaten like a pig today so that also may be something to do with it Smile, blood sugar and all that.

Hello to everyone else, I really have to do some work today!

Emoo · 09/02/2011 16:50

Nix - PHEWWWWWWEEEEE! What a horrible scare for you. Glad things are okay. Don't apologise for being a trembling mess - we would all have been the same. Still, put your feet up and make DH run around after you for a few days. You said he was being an arse recently? Make him pay!!

Owl - am loving the new mantra! You cannot jinx yourself no matter what you do.

Love am definitely also losing the plot, but maybe a couple of days at work will save me and bring a week on Friday that little bit closer...

Silver glad you're feeling better. Hoorah for being a piggywig!

Wombat33 · 09/02/2011 16:56

Phew! Nix that's such a relief xxx Do they know if you did have a fluid leak or not?

Barbie I'm so so sorry. Wishing you the best of luck with the next treatment cycle. May the next one be super sticky for you xxx

Love and hugs to all xxxx

owlbooty · 09/02/2011 17:05

Oh Nix, so so relieved for you

Moo is right, put your feet up anyway and RELAX. x

Mamapower · 09/02/2011 17:25

hummm! I can smell something fishy in here... oh look it's Owl and her fish drop Grin hee hee!

Nix Phew, what a relief, did they give any explanation?

digitalgirl · 09/02/2011 17:35

nicks yipeee! what a lovely MW you have.

nickstermum · 09/02/2011 18:06

She was lovely dig, rubbed my arm in reassurance etc etc... well i was a sobbing mess!

Got to go back to epu on fri as planned for another scan and they will look to see if the amniotic fluid is ok. My tummy is so tender though, hoping its just expanding.

Hopefully onwards and upwards.

Hello ladies,

Can I join please? I had a MC in August and have just got a BFP today. I've been spotting since 9DPO (now 14DPO) so I am not going to get excited as my MC was exactly the same (spotting from the start). Who knows what will happen but I thought I would join for some moral support.....

PinkFondantFancy · 09/02/2011 19:04

wiseowl is always right-you can't jinx things! I am hopeless at remembering dates and upcoming events so list is helpful to me to remember but happy to just be told by people after the event if they prefer.

nix wonderful news!!! Did they have any idea what it was? I so hope that we all get such good news if scary stuff happens....

banana well done on booking the appt. Point me in the direction of the thread when you start it, I'd be interested to read it. I'm waiting to hear about my NK results, hopefully hear tomorrow.

coco if I hadn't gone private I wouldn't have got a scan until 14 weeks on the NHS-I think I would have been consigned to the loony bin long before....

orange cool present idea! Are you going to learn 'somewhere over the rainbow' and play it to orangebean??

Hi wakar congratulations on the BFP, make yourself at home!!

Knackkerrred-on train, so want my bed!! Fell asleep on train on way to work this morning and woke myself up dribbling... Blush luckily only on myself but still....

lovemysleep · 09/02/2011 19:28

nix brilliant news - am very happy for you

hello wakar - welcome to the loonybin! Fingers crossed that you will be ok.

Think I'll be in bed v soon - waking at 3.50am, and not going back to sleep has done me in.

Mamapower · 09/02/2011 19:38

Wakari hooooray, lovely seeing you here and Congratulations on your BFP Grin Grin Have you registered with your GP yet?

Can hardly keep eyes open tonight and diet took an all time low today after I practically inhaled a large bag of Haribo in one go Blush

PinkFondantFancy · 09/02/2011 19:47

Hehehe good work on the haribo mama - what sort? Starmix? Have you tried 'natural confectionary company' jelly snakes?? AMAZING!

love I have a regular 4am waking thing - v. annoying!!

Talking of registering with GP, I took a deep breath and tried to do it today. Raaahahahahah soooooo annoying!!! They won't book me into the system without seeing the GP first - why?!?!?! It's a complete waste of an appointment and they don't seem to understand that a 3:30 appointment when I work in London doesn't really work for me.... V frustrating.

nickstermum · 09/02/2011 20:03

Am a very big fan of the natural confect jelly snakes (and dinosaurs!!) but nothing beats haribos!!! Although my penchant for wine gums has gone up a notch....

Off to bed for a sleep in min, feel like have been through an emotional mangle today. No work til monday,

Seeing mw tomorrow and will ask her to check cervix, and then back for the epu scan friday to get the fluid checked out. In the meantime feet up, no carrying 3yo up the stairs or 7kilocat for that matter! Read somewhere that at the start of 2nd trimester you get lots of aches and pains/stretching/growing etc and that could cause the tenderness. Remember that folks :)

Thanks for all your support today... would have been a mess without it...

I have a baby with a hb...
He rubs his eyes
He was as happy as a pig in shit Grin
Thankyou xx

wakarimasen · 09/02/2011 20:08

Thanks for the welcomes. I'm just watching "One Born Every Minute" on Sky+ Shock Dont know why I do it to myself!

I've just done the test tonight and I'm planning to lay low for now. I'm in two minds about telling DH as dont want him to go through the stress again Confused

I'll wait a couple of weeks then make an appt at my EPU. They advised me to contact them direct next time.

I had hoped if I got preg again it would be strightforward with no spotting but alas, no Smile

This is another big thread but I'll try to keep up!

PinkFondantFancy · 09/02/2011 20:24

nix that is so sweet, he sounds gorgeous Grin Try and enjoy your well earned rest!

wakari I can't watch that programme - giving birth feels such a long way away that I find it still tortures me almost as much as when I was ttc.

Anyone watching the nature programme on channel 2 tonight? When the boy salamander wants a shag, he climbs on the girl's back, and she has to carry him around until he decides the time is exactly right, apparently sometimes this isn't for days!!! Hehehe thought that would be v. funny if that was the case for us - turn up to work with DH piggy backing Grin She seemed pretty chilled out about having to carry him around though. DH says I should try to be as chilled as the girl salamander Grin

PinkFondantFancy · 09/02/2011 20:24

nix with you about the dinosaurs but there aren't enough big ones in the pack!!!

tonythetyger · 09/02/2011 21:03

Nix glad to hear you got the scan and all was ok.

Pink why do you need to register for a gp? Won't they let you book a hospital without one? I always go for GPs with long opening hours given I'm at work all day and need to pick up prescriptions. Even so they always do those first appointments at ridiculous times.

KnitterNotTwitter · 09/02/2011 21:24

lovely news nix really relieved for you

OrangeGloss · 09/02/2011 21:31

Barbie so sorry for your loss, and thank you for the kind words of encouragement when you are in such a :( place. Hope to see you here soon x

Nix I've just had to delete my first message after reading your good news Wink I'm so so glad you've had the reassurance you needed. And no need to be sorry, we've all been there
Emoo nope can't play, but have aspirations of learning :)
Pink that's my plan :) good work on drooling, will keep the committed at bay. I had to see gp before the mw would see me. They also wanted a urine test despite my scan Hmm
Welcome and congratulations Wakari Grin

SameOldJollster · 10/02/2011 05:23

pops in just to wave at Wakar, I remember your name; I also MMC in August, so we were probably on the MC threads at the same time. Congrats on your BFP - FX all fine.

Waves at anyone else who knows me. It's such a horrid, stressy time, the first trimester after a MC. What we wouldn't do for a time machine huh? Hope you're all doing ok. Special squeeze for hairy.

PinkFondantFancy · 10/02/2011 07:40

Tony no idea, I asked them if they can just register me with the dangerously far away local hospital but apparently not without going to see then first.....

Got to pick up heparin and learn to inject it today.... Confused

owlbooty · 10/02/2011 09:49

Welcome Wakari :) Totally know what you mean about not telling DH yet, I didn't tell mine for a week as I was sure the spotting I was having meant Doom. Which it turns out it didn't, it was just random spotting. Fingers crossed yours is the same :)

Jolls ! Hello lovely, here's your reserved beanbag :)

Pink I too had to see the GP before I was allowed to book a MW appt. It was utterly pointless and irritating. She didn't even ask me if I was taking folic acid or snorting coke. Although it did give me the opportunity to wail and snotter at her which is always nice.

Nix hope your feet are still firmly up, missus, and that you are being treated like the Queen. Grin

Pink good luck with the heparin.

hairylights · 10/02/2011 10:05

Welcome to Wakari

Had a more positive day yesterday.

Some positive thinking, a counselling session and got home to see that my very lovely DP had re-arranged all the upstairs rooms to make room for a baby (including moving a bed, two chests of drawers and tidying up a whole load of clutter, and hoovering throughout) - he knew I had been meaning to get around to it, but hadn't had chance. It really touched me, because I knew he did it for me and he knew how much it would mean to me :)

This was something recommended by my counsellor, make room in my life and my house for a baby :)

If not this one, then one that will be coming along very soon, I hope.

Feeling a little bit more negative about tomorrow now, but at least calm (before the storm perhaps).

Would be so miraculous if they saw a little one in there. But I have completely normal boobs now, although have still felt very tired and emotional and quite light headed, and have just cocked up someone's get well card at work, by writing 'sorry to be losing you - keep in touch' (thinking it was a card for a guy that's leaving! DOH!!!

sorry to be self-indulgent (again) - helps to write it down.
