Ah, loola. Hugs. Just chart stalked too. Have you come on early?

ZamMummyInGabs · 21/03/2011 14:44

OMG I think I have seen the faintest of faint faint lines!!!! Shock Off to try and find a digital test, because I can't possibly wait for FMU tomorrow, obviously Grin

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 21/03/2011 15:11

((( loola ))) sorry it wasn't this month xx

zam oooh...let us know how you get on!!

MummyAbroad · 21/03/2011 16:09

good luck Zam, mine started off super feint too.

Loola sorry for CD1 rubbish. Thats pants.

small disaster in my house today, the full time cleaner/cook/nanny has left us in the lurch because her cousin got murdered! I have had to cancel all my work this week (normally work from home part time and she watches DS) and am now faced with a huge dirty messy house and the cooking she couldnt have picked a worse moment considering early pregnancy tiredness and pukiness are in full swing. Sad

ZamMummyInGabs · 21/03/2011 17:58

Update: 3 pharmacists looked blank when I asked for digital tests, but a different brand of cheapie (£1.20 instead of the previous £1 - ooh) has a definite, though still faint line ShockShockShock.....now must wait for FMU GrinGrinGrin
Just noticed collie in same boat - wey hey!!

MummyAbroad · 21/03/2011 18:09

looking good Zam Grin A line is a line remember! I cant get digital tests here either, but luckily a same day result blood test (which is cheaper!) is really easy. Do you have walk in labs over there that might to a quantitive beta HCG?

hairylights · 21/03/2011 18:12

Hello. I had my third MC in Feb, am embarking on testing, have been advised over and over to keep trying naturally ... so I'm just gearing up myself to get strong enough again...

Chloe55 · 21/03/2011 18:18

hairylights your name looks very familiar. I am sorry to hear of your MC. Pull up a comfy chair and have some of these Biscuit and perhaps a glass of Wine.

zam fab news Grin Lets hope that line is a little stronger in the morning, woohoo!

Some Sad news my way, just found out another friend of mine has breast cancer. That's the second friend in a year, both early thirties. So Sad and so scary. Her wedding was meant to be in August abroad but she has put it on hold now as she is starting chemo straight away. I feel so bad for her. Kinda puts my own problems in perspective.

batteryhen · 21/03/2011 18:20

You know me for starters :)

Big woo hoo for zam - hope that line gets darker tomorrow :)

loola - sorry about CD1. Have a big glass of Wine xx

mummy that is crap timing. Poor woman though :( x

Well I have resisted testing today. I am 10 dpo and feel grim. I am tired, dizzy and funny vision. Of course instead of thinking I am pregnant i am thinking a I have got someting hideous wrong with my brain so I am off to have my eyes tested this week. Also my boobs are itchy. I am not jumping to conclusions - I worked the weekend so that is why I am tired etc.

Big waves to everyone

batteryhen · 21/03/2011 18:21

chloe x post. What horrible news about your friend. Stuff like that makes you realise how precious life is xxx

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 21/03/2011 18:38

good to see you, lovely, hope you're ok x

zam great news - congrats!!! Hope that line continues to get darker Grin Grin

battery that's a will of iron you have there - so how long are you planning to hold out?

Chloe so sorry to hear about your friend Sad. I do hope she's ok x

Youremindmeofthebabe · 21/03/2011 19:27

Hello!

zam big congratulations! Huzzah!

chloe your poor friend. And two of them, you say? How terrible.

Itchy boobs? HmmmGrin

batteryhen · 21/03/2011 19:37

Grin at babe thought boobs were supposed to be sore not itchy??!

izzy I am trying to hold out until Saturday Hmm only beause Dp is here then. However...... if I get lots of symptoms I will test before then, partly because I have acupuncture on Thursday night so I will need to tell her then if I am so she does the correct needle point things.

nickstermum · 21/03/2011 19:41

i had itchy boobs......Grin go battery :)

Popping in to say huge congrats to ZAM! :) FX that line gets darker :)

babes there are soo many things you can do on a budget, i didnt! [hence skint emoticon now!] but my DSis will be. Shes found a huge garden, big enough for a marquee, hired trestle tables and is having an informal hog roast. (brother a chef, Mil doing flowers, ebay beautiful wedding dress at a fraction of the cost (although not one that has been divorced in!!) peeps will bring their own drink - all sorts of ways! Friends of mine have made their own invitations, or bomboniere, i got my frock in the sale and had it fitted... t'was beautiful [wistful emoticon]..... oooh makes me want to get hitched again just to plan everything !!!

nickstermum · 21/03/2011 19:41

tingly boobs i think battery.....Grin

mousebacon · 21/03/2011 20:03

Hello hairy nice to see you back Smile

Nothing to report here; next fanjo cam is thurs. Can't even have any Wine because if the tablets I'm on. Disaster!

Congrats zam hope that line gets darker Smile

getawiggleon · 21/03/2011 20:35

Waves madly at Hairy

Zam Sounds like good news! Fingers crossed the line gets darker tomorrow

Things sounding promising in the battery camp too I had acupuncture when I was 9dpo. The acupuncturist said there was some kind of "stuckage" I had no idea what he was talking about and wish I'd probed him but I found out 4 days later that I was pg (that was my chemical) so now I can't help wondering if he'd picked up a pg and dislodged the bean whilst it was trying to burrow away?? Is that even possible? We didn't discuss the possibility that I may have been pg, just that I was ttc. This has been playing on my mind and I know I should call him and ask what he meant (and if he did try to unstick the stuckage or whatever) Confused
Hoping to have acu with a new lady this week so I will grill her too
Also - fuzzy brain is a def symptom for me. The minute the egg fertilises my brain noticably turns to mush. FX this is your month!

Chloe Such sad news about your friends, and both so young too. xx

YRMOTB We got married at City Hall in NYC (living there at the time and needed to sort a visa out quickly!) I think it cost about $80! We planned on organising a 'proper' wedding later on but we still haven't got round to it yet (5th anniversary will be in May!) Just realised that this info is of absolutely no help whatsoever, er..when are you poas!?

Izzy How are you feeling lovely? Is the news sinking in yet? How sweet of your Mum to return your clothes just at the right time too.

Loola Hugs for CD1 and hugs for your dd last week - it was the same as mine Sad I'd been fine all week then finally had a meltdown on Fri eve. A combination of things really, a chemical pg the same week didn't help matters especially as I'd thought/hoped that I would be pg again way before it came round. Like a lot of the ladies have said though, I feel much better now it has passed, like another (self-imposed) deadline has been and gone. How are you feeling?

Bee Hope you're having a better day today. It's so hard having to go through mc. I've found it puts a huge strain on my relationship with DH (not sure he knows how to react and he doesn't talk about it with me) It's a sensitive time and one in which you feel like you need them to be strong with you. I hope your Dh is back on side now xx Thanks also for the info on Dr Shehata - the cost is similar to ARGC and as we've already started the ball I think we'd better stay there. You're right - they are v thorough!!

Digi Good luck with Dr Shehata too. I'll be interested to know what he says.

BB My clinic was going to prescribe clexane, cyclogest and baby aspirin as a matter of course (had the bean stuck)

Waves to freezing,jolls,Mummy,Nicks,Mouse,AndR,Blackkat and anyone else lurking who I hope I haven't missed

hairylights · 21/03/2011 22:02

Starting to feel a bit more human again.

Freezingmyarseoff · 21/03/2011 22:09

HAIRY hello, hello, hello. So sorry I didn't realise you'd had another MC.

LadyBee big squeeze for you, you're having a rough time of it right now. Sorry

Zam congrats, keep us updated on the line Grin

Mouse it's rubbish the no Wine, if it's any consolation (which it isn't really) I'm also off the booze. It'll just taste better when you can have some.

battery I have some fish lined up for you should you need them. But good luck to the not POAS, you're a stronger women than me.

MummyA sorry you've been left in the lurch. Just remember a clean house is a boring house.

Sorry not to namecheck everyone properly but waves to BB, Jolls, Nicks, A&R, Wiggle, Izzy, Digi, Loolam, CHloe, YRMOTB, velvet and everyone else.

Ladybee · 21/03/2011 22:31

tentative congrats Zam - hope it all gets stronger and stronger and AF stays away.

mummyabroad I'm sure you didn't mean that the primary problem with the poor woman's cousin being murdered was that it is inconvenient for you. That must have been shocking news.

Shocking also for Chloe - your poor friends Sad early 30s is such a surprise, my cousin had the same thing.

hairylights have you had the results of your ovarian reserve test? It's very difficult making that decision to start again or keep going, but I do feel that even with a diagnosis of a clotting disorder it's largely a matter of numbers - hopefully I'm strong enough to bear the pain of more losses until I get one that works. But I do still have faith that it will eventually work. Hopefully the meds increase those odds for me.

mouse nice to see you.battery really hope those a good symptoms for you and you get a nice +ve in a few days. Also that your brain is not falling out your ears or eyes forgetting how to focus. I seem to remember itchy...sort of fizzy nipples.

AandR if you're lurking I hope you're ok and am thinking of you.

Wiggle - that's what I'm going to be on next time (see positive outlook, there will be a next time). Still debating the whole Shehata thing. Not sure why I'm agonising over this so much. Maybe don't want to find out there's yet another reason why body is useless as carrying a pregnancy.

Anyway, off to bed, DH is forgiven, my mother turns up tomorrow night...an early night is a good idea I think.

ZamMummyInGabs · 22/03/2011 07:44

Oh the mentalling!! And I fear this is just the start....
POAS yesterday's brand 1 with FMU - BFN. So bought 2pack of brand 3 after school run, and BFP! Still faint but stronger than yesterday. And temp up again. 11dpo now and LP normally 10 days max. Got BFP at 10dpo with DS2 and latest mc.
And have got metal mouth & feel sick (tho that could very well be the mentalling) Grin
D'you reckon they'll have me in the freak out room? Am not even 4 weeks yet Shock

brokenbarrenbrook · 22/03/2011 07:49

Hey hairy welcome back, hope you're doing ok, there's still a few of us old old faces hanging about Sad Grin

wiggle good to see you, good luck with the new acupuncture lady, I'm going back next week to hopefully get things kick started again.

mouse likewise, good to see you back too, keep smiling chicken, we're all here for you. Good luck for Thursday

A&R let us know how you're doing if you can, thinking of you

battery !!!!! exciting. How are the symptoms? Will you be testing Thursday still??

Hello to all you other lovelies. have a splendid day!

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 22/03/2011 07:54

bee good to hear you sounding positive, and I'm glad you've made it up with dh. You've been through so much and have such a lot going on that it makes things doubly difficult when you don't feel like you're getting the support you deserve. I do believe you're right about the numbers thing and I'm keeping everything crossed that the next one is the one x

To all those with friends and family suffering from breast cancer, it is sadly very common it seems Sad. My aunt was also diagnosed with a very aggressive for of it in her early 30s; even worse, it went undisclosed for 2 years as the cons kept dismissing her concerns as a leftover problem from breastfeeding (her ds was still very little). She's 40 now and has been clear for five years; the odds are so much better these days so cling onto that x

hairylights · 22/03/2011 13:27

we need a [bounce] emoticon on here, but have a Grin instead.

I've really felt like I've gone totally crazy at times since Feb, but I am emerging again ... spring seems to help.....

Good to see you all, sorry to see you all still here, but you know what I mean.

Bee Yes, my AMH result says my ovarian reserve is 'reduced' but I'm happy about that - at 43 it could so easily have been 'low' or 'very low'.

I'm still waiting for recurrent MC tests, but hope to be referred on when I see the consultant as follow up from the Feb miscarriage on Tuesday next week.

I'm also waiting for my FSH/LH result (had bloods done on Friday).

I'm hoping to build up a 'big picture' and get someone to advise me - so far all the medical people I've seen have said that keeping trying is the way ahead, until you get a good 'un!

Down the line we will explore any possible option, but the tests will show up what those options could be, we hope.

MummyAbroad · 22/03/2011 14:40

hi ladies

lady B No, of course its awful and she is really distraught. Part of the reason she is not here is because I packed her off with some money to see her family, but to be honest I am not sure if that was the right thing to do now. I am feeling so sick that I can barely feed and wash DS and am basically pinned to the sofa most of the day. Sad Glad you and DH are OK again.

hairy hello again, welcome back. Have you taken the plunge and started TTC? There is a list going if you want to join in. Its on the TTC board and is called "common room list"

Freezing Grin thanks for saying that. House is definitely looking more "interesting" Grin

Chloe I'm so sorry for your friend, thats awful. I have only known one person with breast cancer (recovered now) and she was 29 when diagnosed. It didnt fit the stereotype I had of older women getting it at all and was all the more shocking. Hope your friend is getting lots of support.

Zam of course they will let you in the freak out room, that is what it is there for. If its any consolation I found the first few days the very worst and then it eased / sickness kicked in and I stopped being able to think about anything else

bb the bedroom is too messy to be able to find any suspenders so I am going back to old fashioned finger crossing for you. Looking good Smile
