Continuation of the last thread.

There's cake for scoffing, backs for patting, and screeching death metal for all your metalling moments. All welcome so come on in and get settled into the plush sofas!

Dictionary:

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!

Hi ladies

How did the exam go tits??

Slaps to those that require ......

Hi to everyone else hope all is well?

Just wanted to say thank u to all your advice , I'm trying to do one day at a time ( tits like u , today I am pregnant) though I can't seem to shake that empty sac scan picture from my head. I know it was early I know I'm on the cusp im trying ti be positive and rational but I also know it could now have stopped growing and I could just be waiting for the bleeding....

But today it hasn't and last night I had the most monsterous sickness and heartburn but didn't feel I could complain. HmmMy hcg has risen I'm now well over 1500+ no idea what it should be but it's risen from Friday when they took my bloods so that's a good sign right ??? Confused

Enjoy the rest of your day peeps xxxx and thanks again for the advice xxxx

TitsalinaBumSquash · 30/04/2012 15:35

Exams were all ok I think!

Sounds positive Mumtum :)

Friendly slaps to those who need it today. :)

StateofConfusion · 30/04/2012 15:50

Feeling quite positive and happy today, despite it not all feeling real still, feel like I'm lying to myself iyswim.

bonzo77 · 30/04/2012 16:20

Same here state, exactly the same. Have now booked an early scan privately for 29/5 when I will be 8+3. Gp has also referred me for one nhs but it will be during office hours, so DH won't be able to go. I might go anyway though!

StateofConfusion · 30/04/2012 16:51

Good luck with the scans bonzo really hope my mw will let me have one at 10wks, I did with ds and dd to date me, so hopefully I can this time, the mw care here is fairly good.

leedy · 30/04/2012 17:39

Urgh. Unbelievably sick. Actually rang in sick to work because I was too urpy to function. Only actually vomited once but the rest of the time I'm just constantly burping and nauseated. At least I can hold down food, but it has to be EXACTLY THE RIGHT FOOD at EXACTLY THE RIGHT TIME, or else, urp. At the moment I am binge-eating clementines.

New metalling theme: if this one doesn't work out, I have no idea if I can put up with this again.

CountryMouse27 · 30/04/2012 18:42

Wow: thank heavens I'm not the only one who thinks she's losing her mind!

Sorry you're feeling so crappy leedy, and a friendly slap to you too ref the new metalling theme. Dont be daft, the only reason you're so worried is because its something you want really badly. Although I really should take my own advice because its the exact same conversation that I've had all weekend!

At least clementines are good in vitamins! Enjoy but make sure you wash your hands, after a similar binge I once ended up with bright yellow fingers for 24 hours x

GrandPoohBah · 30/04/2012 18:56

High five for clementine eating, Leedy - I'm very much enjoying them too. Having said that, I just got back from work and ate a spicy curry pot noodle Blush

Scan tomorrow. Eek. This is the Big One for us - everything has gone wrong before 9 weeks in the past so if we've made it this far we're doing amazingly.

Glad your exams went ok Tits Smile

TitsalinaBumSquash · 30/04/2012 19:04

I know clementine thing, I eat 4 in one go ATM. Blush

In other news, me being totally incapable of saying no me went to look at my friends 8 week old kittens.... We now have 2 bouncing around downstairs. Grin
Luckily we have the experience and time, funds for them, DP didn't bat an eyelid when he came in and even said he is more than happy to do the litter box, (he is worse than me with cute baby things) now we must name them!

CountryMouse27 · 30/04/2012 19:11

Everything and a bit more crossed for you Grand, is it morning or afternoon? Not sure which I'd prefer, to get it done first thing or not.

StateofConfusion · 30/04/2012 19:24

Oooh kittens, I'm jealous. Dp is alergic, selfish git!

My mum has a gorgeous puppy though (pic on profile)

kirrinIsland · 30/04/2012 19:30

Good luck tomorrow GPB

I have my NT scan tomorrow - metalling is not the word! Like Jaffa I have also lost pregnancies after scans before, so the fact that I had a good scan last week is not providing much reassurance at the moment.

mumtum that's all sounding very positive :)

tits Loving the phrase ninja sickness! That's where I'm at at the moment - my cornflakes made a surprise reappearance this morning.....

bonzo I've been to all my scans on my own so far, as DP stays at home with DD. It's ok, bit more stressy than if he was with me but I'd rather that than no scan.

leedy hope you're feeling better

GrandPoohBah · 30/04/2012 20:28

It's at 12pm. DH can't come because it's his first day at a new job, so my mum's coming instead.

Kittens! I would be totally Envy except we're getting a pair in about 3 weeks too, as, like you tits, I'm a loving and caring friend who helps out in times of need and clearly 4 is a much more appropriate number of cats than 2.

I feel really ungrateful that I'm fed up of feeling sick. Urgh.

GrandPoohBah · 30/04/2012 20:28

Good luck tomorrow kirrin.

leedy · 30/04/2012 20:34

Good luck, kirrin and GPB!

And oh, I hear you on the fed up with being sick.

MarthasHarbour · 30/04/2012 21:20

Grin that is DH's favourite MP scene!

mumtum i have a tentatively good feeling about you. As has been said before your scan was early so massive fingers crossed. Nausea and heartburn can only be a good thing! Smile

Well i am on the 2WW. Feeling less pressured about it as i announced to DH that i am going to stop being selfish (he is only 33) and will not insist that we stop TTC when i turn 40 in January. I have said all along that is my cut off point but TBH i couldnt care less today if i end up being an old mum then so be it. I wont love DC any less.

squeakymac · 30/04/2012 21:24

Thanks sunshinesue - I think I'll look into acupuncture a bit more if only to make myself feel like I'm doing something proactive. Just realised that I'm away on a course in two weeks EXACTLY during when my next 'fertile window' woudl be (if I'm ovulating normally after MC that is) grrrr! Trying to persuade my DH to come with me but he has to work too so I think I'll have to give up on this happening in May...oh well have waited for it to be a good time from a work point of view for a long time so one more month won't hurt I guess!

To all the people with bumps - hope all goes well with various scans etc, am insanely jealous but hope to join your numbers soon!

Midgetm · 30/04/2012 21:34

Good luck with the two scans tomorrow - will be thinking of you both. Had afternoon tea at the ritz, may be sick on my PJ's.

StateofConfusion · 30/04/2012 21:36

Just checking in, stupidly tearful and getting cramps whenever I'm stressed, need to relax, easier said than done.

kirrinIsland · 01/05/2012 08:11

Tea at the Ritz midget ? Sounds lovely!

How are you doing this morning state ?

StateofConfusion · 01/05/2012 09:14

Good this morning, had a really good dream about having a gorgeous squishy baby girl which I never had good dreams during the pregnancy that ended in mmc, so its cheered me right up. 2months on friday Grin every day is a victory and all that.

Plus after a horrific bedtime of rapid return the dcs slept in two hours longer than usual.

How's everyone doing x

leedy · 01/05/2012 09:20

I dreamt that my maternity hospital had adopted a policy of making all new mothers go out on a bracing cliffside walk with their newborn on delivery. They had a special door from the delivery room out onto the cliff and everything. Ahhh, pregnancy brain.

Bit less sick today, will attempt work, though am feeling the guilts about what a rubbish employee I'm being.

StateofConfusion · 01/05/2012 09:26

leedy that's an impressive dream! And just made me snort juice Grin

JaffaSnaffle · 01/05/2012 09:58

Good luck Kirrin and Gpb!

pebspop · 01/05/2012 10:29

hi everyone

I have been keeping a low profile recently so will have to read back later.

I went to see my nhs consultant yesterday but I wasn't very impressed with her. She said the genetic tests came back normal but is was female cells so they don't know if it was my cells or the babies - much easier when it comes back as male.

She scanned me and said I had a small polyp in my womb. This usually causes problems with getting pg rather than mc but I can have it removed if I want to. She was quite dimissive of Raj Rai as she said a patient went to see him before and he just came back with the same findings as she would have done. Hmm.

She said I can be reffered to the rmc at liverpool as it will be easier for me to get to and she thinks they are good. They will do a HSG which is a camera in the fanjo i think to see if anything else is going on in there. Maybe they can remove the polyp at the same time.

I am going to see Raj Rai soon anyway and will decide after that whether to go for the liverpool refferal.

Don't feel very confident at the moment Sad. I was hoping she would be more supportive about going to a private consultant and I would be able to try again after next week but now I feel like I should wait for the referral to liverpool and have the hsg and get the polyp removed. I don't really want to try again until I have had everything investigated.

ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!
