So settle into the mosh pit, we have special VIP area's for those on the 2WW, the new bumps metalling with segregated areas for the first/second/third trimesters and the club class cocktail bar for those who have just got AF and can get-pissed let loose for the first two weeks!

The standard 'form' of the thread is the first one on in the morning brings the brekkie! Wink

And this will be a very special thread, it is the one where our first 'graduate' gives us our first bambino Go on IQ give us a twirl if-you can be arsed in your full term state

pebs Sad i am so very sorry. however i am glad that the nurses were sensitive and kind to you. and keeping everything crossed that you get all the testing you require. now make yourself a Brew and settle on that sofa. I hope the ERPC goes as well as can be tomorrow xx

jaffa your poor DD Sad are you sure its not worth a trip to A&E? although if she is sleeping and keeping down lots of fluids then that is a good sign and i guess not much else they can do. Here's hoping a good sleep will recharge her. It is awful when they are this poorly isnt it

Oh, jaffa, your poor little DD. Hope the rehydration drinks work, they've certainly sorted me out before when I've had a dodgy tum.

TitsalinaBumSquash · 22/03/2012 16:47

Sad Pebs Sorry to hear the outcome of today's scan, I hope tomorrow goes smoothly, make sure you take care of yourself and give yourself time.

Sad Jaffa, your poor DD, I hope she picks up soon, have you tried ice lollies? I find they sometimes work to get fluid into the boys when thy're poorly.

Congratulations on the BFPs :)

I have spent the day training and am now qualified to pierce ears! The salon chairs have done nothing for my back however so I am quite achy.
I have had such a busy week, I am hoping tomorrow will be restful and the weekend will be non eventful, we are at DP's parents house so hopefully I will be looked after well. :)

The hospital rang and my consultant has agreed to testing for chromosome abnormalities so that is good news. I will be seeing my consultant when they get the results.

mrsnesbit · 22/03/2012 19:14

So, boobs sore one day, not so much the next, very faint posiive and small bleed at the time af was due.

All ominous.

5w 5days today and no bleeding or pain or anything. I feel so agressive, and starving hungry too.

Ive booked a scan for next Wednesday, i will be (if i make it) 6+4, so if there is anything there, it will show up.

Everything crossed....

Midgetm · 22/03/2012 19:22

good news on that Pebs - despite testing positive for TEG I had my last couple analysed and they had also had chromosonal abnormalities. I think it helped me come to terms with things a bit more.

jaffa hope DD is on the men's. Horrible when they are so small and so poorly.

Congrats to the BFP's. This thread has a magical effect. X

Midgetm · 22/03/2012 19:23

on the mend I mean. I don't hope DD is on the men's. That would be weird.

stelabelle · 22/03/2012 19:32

Hey girls thanks for letting me dropping in last night... you guys have a serious party going on here, I can hardly keep up, logging on once a day! :)

In answer to the question a lot of you are asking, both times, I haven't got past 5-6 weeks although the first time it wasn't until 10 weeks that I started to bleed and realised there was a problem... so it feels a lot like history repeating...I think I am going to have to stand ground with the GP tomorrow and see what she says.

*cracks open the giant chocolate cupcakes .. :)

tasmaniandevilchaser · 22/03/2012 19:40

pebs Sad but glad you can have the ERPC tomorrow. Take care x

jaffa hope your DD gets well soon

mrsnesbit fingers crossed for your scan on Wed

thanks midget don't feel so deranged now! TMI but have lots of EWCM so starting to think that my body would like to get pregnant, even though my mind is probably not ready. Though I do feel much more normal after the acupuncture on Tuesday. I don't feel like I have much time to spare (family history of early menopause) so part of me would like to get cracking. Mind you poor DH is exhausted and stressed from work so I'm unlikely to get anywhere!

hi to everyone else, great news on the BFPs grand and grump, I need to stick around, there's clearly something in the ether on this thread!

tasmaniandevilchaser · 22/03/2012 19:41

oh and iq haven't heard anything today, wondering if it's all starting....?

Tiago · 22/03/2012 19:45

pebs I'm glad that the consultant has agreed to the tests. I hope all goes well with your erpc - and that you are able to have time I rest and recoup afterwards. So sorry there was no surprise good news for you.

Moominsarescary · 22/03/2012 21:10

pebs I'm so sorry, I had a ga after my first mc and it was fine. Hope everything goes ok and your as well as can be expected. Will be thinking about you x

Jaffa hope your dd picks up soon

stela good luck tomorrow, stand your ground

Congrats to the bfps, it's great to see so many

Af has got me although I'm not realy surprised as didn't dtd much due to the stick up bum feeling during ovulation!

Midgetm · 22/03/2012 21:24

damn that stick up the bum

chelliebellie · 22/03/2012 21:36

Hi There, may I join you?
I miscarried just before Xmas, but I am lucky enough to already have a gorgeous lil boy.
I've been fine, but all of a sudden this month I feel very very low.
We're ttc but after reading this thread there is plenty that I don't know!
So I'm hoping you can tell me what I need to do (well not exactly- I think I've got that bit sussed) but when and how I know when, would be a great help.
I have a pretty regular 28ish day cycle, but I always spot for 4/5 days about a week after my period finishes.
I'm so sorry if this is tmi and I know that I'm probably rambling!!

InsomniaQueen · 22/03/2012 21:39

Just getting caught up - the lergy has been less bad today so managed to actually get showered and leave the house!! Can't do a full catch up as I need to try to get some rest and I can feel my paracetamol kicking in.

pebs I just don't know what to say really - im so sorry it's all come to this and it wasnt the news you were hoping for. Sending you love and hugs from here for tomorrow - hope you are able to spend some time just looking after yourself and being with DH over the coming weeks.

Congratulations to the BPFs - it is a long and often rocky road but hopefully this will be the lucky one for you.

As for me - well this might actually be it - I won't say it is cos knowing my luck it will just turn out to be false alarm number 9. At the moment I'm contracting every 10 mins (ish) and it hurts like heck but their just not lasting long enough to bother taking the hour trip to hospital. We shall have to see I suppose......if it carries on I shall start a metallers live labour thread so you can all come keep me company!!!

InsomniaQueen · 23/03/2012 03:22

Me again - looks like it's a go here.......been on the sofa since 11pm as being sat up allows me to rest/cat nap between pains - lying on my side actually makes it SO much worse, because my tummy goes so hard the edges actually hurt to be touched so lying on my side is like being punched in a huge bruise.

I've done everything advised by the MW (hot water bottle, baths, paracetamol) and it's still going so I believe it is actually here. I've told DH to stay in bed as im managing right now but will definitely need him when these get closer together.

The only thing getting me through each pain is repeating this little prayer "dear god give me the strength to get through this labour" - so far so good!!!

InsomniaQueen · 23/03/2012 03:39

Had to cut that short cos I needed to record a contraction in my special counter......now that this looks serious and not wanting to take over the thread where can I post a 'labour' thread that will be obscure and not looked for by that many other people - any suggestions????

Moominsarescary · 23/03/2012 06:14

I'm not sure about where to post a thread but good luck to you! Not long now till you get to meet your baby xx

Midgetm · 23/03/2012 07:14

chellibelle sorry you are feeling blue. Pregnancy loss has a habit of creeping up on you when you don't expect it.

IQ yay how exciting (for me anyway, maybe less so for the lady in actual labour). So close now I have contraction envy. I am an actual freak.

JaffaSnaffle · 23/03/2012 07:46

Hurray! Hurray! Baby IQ is on her way!

IQ, I hope everything goes smoothly and quickly for you. A lovely baby being born on a lovely spring day. I am sorry I don't know about hidden threads but so happy for you. Willing you on...

News in our house is slightly better. No drip needed. But still lots of sickness and diahorrea. Please let it end. Poor little love.

Poppyjen · 23/03/2012 07:52

Yay IQ how exciting, Grin wishing you all the best!

Moominsarescary · 23/03/2012 07:53

chellibelle sorry for your loss and that you are feeling down, we all have good days and bad days. If you have any questions I'm sure there will be someone here who can try to answer them for you

And nothing is tmi here x

TitsalinaBumSquash · 23/03/2012 08:02

Good Morning ladies and hopefully soon baby! Keep going IQ, soon you can hold your baby in your arms and everything will be worth it! :)

Welcome to the new members, sorry you have to be here but we shall look after you. :)

I slept from 8pm until 6am again, poor DP only really gets to see me snoring atm.

I woke up to the delightful sight of my cat dragging a joint of pork through the cat flap, it must belong to a neighbour, I am going to have to go door knocking find out which one and reimburse them. Damn moggie!

I am having a duvet day today, I know it's lovely and sunny but I am still so tired! This exhaustion is getting the better of me, it's never been this bad before.

Oh and whilst I am here ...

Moominsarescary · 23/03/2012 08:33

Lol at the pork joint, my sisters cat just brings back live birds

Tiago · 23/03/2012 09:15

I believe, from the retching this morning, that m/s has finally arrived for me. On the one hand YAY as it makes me think thus pregnancy will work our. On the other hand - ugh!

Also - iq hope all is going swimmingly. :) we look forward to your news.
