Hello - just on during my respite from two rampaging little boys (DS and his cousin), have managed to coax them into bed, whether they're actually sleeping is another question but as long as they're relatively quiet and in one place I don't really mind. Phew, got my nephew again tomorrow - got to think up a plan for the 2nd day as I expect the thrill of company might have worn off by then.

I'm feeling more positive today - probably because DH and I are back into action stations - always better to feel like you're doing something, right? Although bedroom activities are a slightly risky business we discovered last night Grin. Our house is all polished wood floors and the bed has castor wheels...it was true to say that it wasn't just the earth moving (slowly, from one side of the room to the other Grin) last night.

I did a bit of looking up recurrent MC stuff here in NZ and I think now that I have a bit more information about what would happen, where etc over here, I feel a bit more prepared for whatever happens. So really, it just needs SOMETHING to happen.

Mousebacon I saw you'd given up the work responsibility - I hope that the less demanding role does help with stress levels. And that it has a good knock-on effect of getting you the pg you want.

AandR you really have a tonne on your plate at the moment. I completely agree with you on the feeling 'stalled', I really try to concentrate on everything else that has progressed in my life, but it's hard not to focus on this one area, especially when it appears that others can move through the stages with such ease. Even when I know my two great friends have had difficulties either in the past with MC or with conceiving, now that they are both pg and past the first trimester, I do feel very Envy that they got through and I'm stuck on this seemingly endless game of snakes and ladders.

I think part of the reason I was able to contemplate stopping trying was that my SIL spoke to me about them only having the one, and it was nice to get the perspective of someone who isn't caught into this whole thing. Everyone else I know IS either trying or pg or has had no.2, so to speak to someone who has made a decision the other way was good.

YRMOTBFP thanks for the link. I did remember that website from way back. I don't know whether DH would be up for that - I guess I'm 'lucky' in that i know that I've gotten pg from not that much sex in the past - as ever, in our household there's a fine line to be walked between me getting stressed that we have enough sex at the right time, and him getting stressed about HAVING to have sex at the right time. I feel bad that it's an issue at all, but it is, and my best chance is always to try to delay and leave longer gaps at the start and hope like crazy my body doesn't pop an egg unexpectedly early Smile

MummyA you have excellent taste in names - that's my DS's middle one and he is very proud that it has an X 'like a kiss mummy'. That must have been scary, I'm very pleased that it all worked out and that it has helped you to take some positive steps towards accepting the shape your future is going to be.

Freezing breathlessness is one of my big pg symptoms - it's not always an anaemia thing, for some women the increased progesterone level affects them this way. It's eases off (and then comes back when you start getting very squished).

digi big about the results of the genetic screen. In some ways, I do find that comforting to know that even with the NK cells etc it can just be the normal random stuff that goes wrong. I do know what you mean about knowing that it wasn't a healthy baby that your body didn't support. That's one of the things I find/found extremely hard in my last MC, knowing that chances are it is somehow my 'fault' that the pgs don't continue - not through deliberate actions but because my body is faulty in some important ways.

Knitter I took a look at your chart, it's a lovely strong rise - not sure we can read anything into it past that but I've everything crossed that it stays nice and high for you and that you're lucky this cycle. Which reminds me...should probably start taking temps again this cycle...have started up with CBFM this month as I seem to have ov'd a later last couple of cycles but they were both stress-filled so not sure whether it's a cycle shift or just circumstances.

I should probably go get the boys up...or at least open their door. This has been a lovely catch up though, now back to the fray!

MissTinaTeaspoon · 15/06/2011 14:31

Hello...just a quick one because yesterday I wrote loads and then lost signal and lost the lot! I have been keeping up but the mobile signal is really patchy with no 3G and only wifi is in the pub (not that I need much excuse to visit the pub Grin!) we're having a lovely time though, I feel a million miles from home even though I'm not because it's such a relaxing place. We had a few sunny days but the rains back this afternoon Sad. Started smep last night, starting opks tomorrow, I just hope the batteries aren't flat in the cb unit!Smile

Have you got your results yet falcon? That does sound strange but maybe it's just because the sample clotted or was insufficient.

mummya it sounds as though you are coping with it all really well. It's so Sad though that your h couldn't forget it all for your sons sake and come to the party. Great scan news!Grin

knitter I hope your good feeling about this month is right.

Still symptom spotting stitch and loup?

digi although your news is Sad at least you can move on now knowing that it won't affect your future pregnancies.

Waves to all, good luck to fellow swi-ers and those on 2wws x

brokenbarrenbrook · 15/06/2011 15:39

Delurks. Sorry for slackness again, at my Mum's with minimal tinterweb access on phone. Scan all good, measuring 13 + 1, nuchal fold measurement was 2.1mm so within what it should be. Just waiting for bloods now.

Still can't bring myself to acknowledge I'm actually pregnant so am a bit like you mummy. Sorry you had such a scare too but glad to hear all is ok x

freezing have heard from jolls on bookface, she's good, I think perhaps just keeping a low profile away from mn for a wee while that's all. I'll tell her you were asking after her. I get the breathlessness thing too and taking the progesterone pessaries on top has made it far worse. Hope you're not feeling so tired now x

digi sorry to read your news, must have been a tough pill to swallow on top of everything else, I think you have coped fabulously well and must give yourself a big slap on the back for being such a star through everything you have. Very reassuring to know that it won't affect any future pregnancies though. x

knitter I have everything crossed for you chick! I'm no use when it comes to charts but I know a rise is good so FX x

Right, I'd better go. Got to start pulling my head out of the sand! x

brokenbarrenbrook · 15/06/2011 15:40

Oh arsicles, also meant to say a big good luck for battery tomorrow xxxxx

stitchinline · 15/06/2011 16:04

tina lovely that you are having a great time, have fun with the SMEP :o

am feeling af type pains here :( hope it's not but would be just my luck for it to come early this month! either that or it could be my bad tummy injection attempt this morning? anyone else get tummy tugging pains when injecting fragmin and not updiffed??? consultant has given me until 19 august and if no bfp it will be back on warfarin for me :( I do hate the injections but at least they make me a bit more hopeful that I will get a BFP soon, going back on warfarin will make me feel a bit of a lost cause

plus i can't use nausea for sympton spotting as I always get very pukey pre af

hope everyone else is in a better mood them me - just read back and I sound very glum.....probably the weather

Loup23 · 15/06/2011 16:26

oh everything crossed stitch that its not AF - hope you have a fab wknd away - where are you off to?

batteryhen · 15/06/2011 16:51

Hello everyone :)

I am also de-lurking.

digi - what mixed results. So sad obviously but good in a way that you know your body did not reject a healthy pregnancy, so the chances of you having a lovely healthy pregnancy next time round are good xx
freezing I am not too bad now but have felt quite breathless too
stitch I hope it's not Af, but maybe some implantation cramps :)
lady glad you have settled in and normal business has resumed :) even if you do make the bed move in the mean time!
bbb thank you for the luck for tomorrow- I am quietly mentalling myself into a frenzy.
muumy you sound like you are getting sorted. It is always a horrible thing to go through, but I am glad that things are going well with the baby, and that hopefully your luck is changing. I love the name max too xx

Hello to everyone else too - as bbb said my 12 week scan is tomorrow. I am worried - dp is very excited where I just feel sick. My worry is that I have been lent a doppler and have heard the HB over the weekend, then didn't use it for a few days, had a go last night and couldn't find the HB. Cue instant worry. I have put the doppler away as for me I don't think it does me any good. My scan is at 10 so I will update after but might not be till late as I have a meeting after- lets hope it's good news or I will be coming straight home and that is that.

Hope you lovely ladies are all ok and busy making lovley babies xxxx

digitalgirl · 15/06/2011 19:07

Good luck tomorrow battery

Freezingmyarseoff · 15/06/2011 20:35

Evening all

BBB that's brilliant news about the scan - yay Grin Grin I sort of guessed that Jolls might be keeping a low profile. Glad she's okay though, that's all I really wanted to know.

Battery lots of luck for tomorrow, I believe mentalling 24hrs before a scan is totally allowed, so no fish from me. Will be thinking of you. It does sound like you've got lots of symptoms though, so that's vair positive.

Thanks for all the reassurance on the breathlessness, I had no idea. The MW didn't even say anything about progesterone, just that it could be anaemia. Anyway, I'm going to eat more iron-rich food anyway. Feeling a bit better in the last day or two but quite buoyed (sp?) that I have more pregnancy symptoms.

Digital very sorry to hear about the results, but as you say it is reassuring in one way that your body dealt with it properly, just horrible for you Sad.

Ladybee Smile at the furniture moving! I'm a bit Envy actually as the bedroom activities here are pretty non-existent Blush

Stitch FX it's implantation not AF

Knitter sorry I know nothing about charts but hope this is your month

Any word from Wiggle recently?

Big waves to AandR, Zam, Wiggle, Falcon, Loup, Teaspoon, mouse, YRMOTBFP, MummyA and everyone else

stitchinline · 16/06/2011 10:50

good luck for your scan today battery

thanks freezingand loup, i hope it's not af but trying not to get my hopes up

We are off to zurich to visit friends for a long weekend

love the furniture moving Ladybee :o

runs away and hides before confessing that I crumbled and did an cheapy test this morn BFN of course Blush

waves to everyone else

Loup23 · 16/06/2011 13:01

sees stitches post and feels the need to also confess I did IC this morning and BFN..... Have just had light pink when I wiped as well (tmi) am 10dpo so AF coming early or trying not to get hopes up implantation...?

Have a lovely time stitch

Hoping the scan went well battery

batteryhen · 16/06/2011 13:33

Quick update. The scan did not go well. It would seem the fact that I haven't heard the HB for the past 2 days was for good reason. The baby died 2 days ago. My 3rd MMC. Am going in for an ERPC tomorrow, and the doctors are going to try and do tests on the baby. The sonographer was almost crying with us. Feel numb.

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 16/06/2011 13:46

Oh god battery I am so so sorry Sad Sad Sad. I know there's nothing I can say but I'm thinking of you and sending you a huge huge (((hug))) xx

Sometimes life is just too f*cking cruel Sad

Freezingmyarseoff · 16/06/2011 13:53

Oh Battery I'm so so sorry, there are no words. I am only glad that your DP is with and you can support each other.

I am wiping away tears for you Sad

MissTinaTeaspoon · 16/06/2011 13:59

battery I am so Sad for you. There are no words that will make it better but I wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you SadSadSad, and best wishes for the erpc xxx

YouremindmeoftheBFP · 16/06/2011 14:09

Oh Hell, battery. So so very sorry to hear that. Best wishes for tomorrow, Sad be kind to yourself xx

MummyAbroad · 16/06/2011 14:17

battery I cant believe it Sad SadSad this is all just so unfair, I cant imagine how you are feeling right now, but my thoughts are with you and your family. so sorry. xxx

Larami hi, thanks for popping over to say hello, please pass on my regards to everyone in the freakout room, I am slowly coming back to pregnancy related things, but spending much less time on MN in general now. Have missed you all though, hope you are well xxx

Loup23 · 16/06/2011 14:25

battery i'm so sorry to read your post, horrible news for you I really hope you have lots of love and support around you in RL xxx

DeterminedToGetDiffedDachs · 16/06/2011 14:26

battery I'm sorry. Good luck tomorrow

Well, news from me is that after losing the twins I was determined not to do IVF again as I wouldn't be able to bear losing another baby at 20 weeks. But I've changed my mind so I'm going to have another go in August (assuming my cycles have started again by then) so I'll be joining you guys again (assuming there's room in here for me)!

I want a baby. And I'm determined to have one. Whatever it takes. I'm trying to be philosophical and think that at least I know I can get pg with IVF. And my obstetrician is lovely so I need to get pg again so I can see him again Grin

stitchinline · 16/06/2011 14:27

battery I am so sorry, that is just so unfair :( :( :(

Thinking of you and your DP at this sad time.

Blackkat · 16/06/2011 14:54

Battery so, so sorry to read your news. How bloody unfair and cruel Sad Sad.
My heart goes out to you both. Thinking of you and DP now and tomorrow and over the weekend x

MummyAbroad · 16/06/2011 14:59

welcome back Dach there is always lots of room for you here. xxx

CollieandPup · 16/06/2011 15:05

Battery thats the shittest news i am so so sorry Sad Sad I know nothing i can say can make it easier. But please know i'm thinking of you. Life can really be cruel to the nicest and most worthy of people. xx
