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!

And we have a recently refurbished Mosh Pit Nursery for the graduates IQ Manda and Blue, we are currently running a rota for babysitting so those three can go and get-pissed have some rest! I have done my bit this week so i need the next volunteer!

hi just marking my place here, will be back

kirrinIsland · 02/06/2012 22:48

Congratulations yikes hope've had a great day :)

I've been offline for a couple of days so imneed to go back and catch up. They way you lot can talk it may take a while :)

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the long weekend.

I had a blood test this week to se if I have immunity to chicken pox even though I've never had it, and I do, so that's one less thing to metal about.
I'm 17+3 and hardly feeling any movement. I want daily kicks to keep my stress levels down....

NoMoreMarbles · 03/06/2012 11:24

morning :)

hope everyone is having a good weekend...:)

i...erm...BFP...erm... ;)

pebspop · 03/06/2012 12:07

Congrats marbles!

Will you be doing anything different this time? Will Liverpool be keeping an eye on you?

TheonlyoneIknow · 03/06/2012 12:12

Congrats marbles that's fab news!!

StateofConfusion · 03/06/2012 12:38

Congratulations marbles Grin

JaffaSnaffle · 03/06/2012 12:47

Great news Marbles! X

fatasbutter · 03/06/2012 12:50

Oh wow! Massive congrats marbles!

That's marble-ous!! Blush

So glad to hear some good news - can you sprinkle some BFP dust over here for next cycle as the nasty AF bitch witch has come early and got me Sad

Good luck anyone else due to test! X

NoMoreMarbles · 03/06/2012 12:53

ThanksSmile

pebs I will be waiting until past the date AF is due (anytime from tuesday until next tuesday) and then will call the RMC and speak to the lovely RMC nurse to book in for after 6weeks. They will supposedly scan me and do blood tests and give me heparin to inject up to 37weeks.

I am technically 3+5 today... I think I ovulated early so I could be further along thoughWink I will be self doubling my aspirin dose from today though... I already take 75mg for the lupus control so I doubt sticking at that would be any benefit...

Jollyb · 03/06/2012 13:47

Many, many congrats Marbles. Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Fats- I'm out for this month too. my period started today. In a way am quite relieved as was feeling so moody and angry yesterday. I'd forgotten what proper PMT feels like. I also get to play with my clearblue fertility monitor - let the fun begin!

pebspop · 03/06/2012 13:54

Will be following your progress marbles ad it sounds like you are similar to me . Hope I can join you soon!

wilderumpus · 03/06/2012 13:54

marbles that is fabulous! congrats congrats! i honestly am so happy that so many of you are all getting preggo on this thread :) hurray!

fatasbutter · 03/06/2012 14:15

The lovely thing about our thread is that I am only genuinely happy when people get BFP/have their scan and not jealous unlike in RL (I am a bad person!) - I may have mis-worded that but hopefully u know what I mean!

that said it is a bit depressing to think how many months I could be waiting til I get to join you successful ones! Confused

squeakymac · 03/06/2012 14:34

Congrats marbles yay! Out of interest will you be on heparin for proven clottiness or just cos of the lupus? Smile

Sorry fats and jolly fingers crossed for next month.

Away for lovely weekend, chilling while DH plays golf. Had glass of red wine on purpose and also accidentally ate some goats cheese last night Blush but trying not to metal too much about it....

TitsalinaBumSquash · 03/06/2012 14:42

Congrats marbles

37 weeks you say? Will you be on Fragmin? I was on Clexaine the past 2 pregnancies but Fragmin this time is the preferred choice apparently.
I'm taking it until baby is born though then for 6 weeks after.

tasmaniandevilchaser · 03/06/2012 18:25

marbs Smile great news! So happy for you Smile

jaffa glad all the scans and tests were ok, I haven't been on much lately, but have been lurking to see you are ok

manda can't remember if I've said congrats yet, but well done! Hope your DS is doing well and you are all measles free now.

glad there is lots of good news on this thread at the moment, it gives me hope

boris have been thinking of you this weekend, hope it was ok and you did something lovely to remember your baby. I know it's really hard.

It was the due date for the MMC this weekend. It just feels like the Jubilee celebrations are rubbing my face in it - I'm finding it very difficult, not really in a celebratory mood. We went for walk in the countryside and picked some ordinary flowers and made a little posy and threw it in the river to say goodbye to the baby, but DD got hysterical at throwing the flowers away (she did have her own posy but when you're 3 yrs old....). It wasn't exactly atmospheric, but hey ho!

pebs hope the acupuncture is going well. I have started charting my temps again. I don't seem to have high temps after ov, though the CBFM says I've ovulated. Another thing to stress about!

I also found out that taking Vit B6 can lower your oestrogen, don't know if that's true - has anyone else heard that? It was on the Taking Charge of your fertility website, from a moderator. I've been taking B vits and my EWCM has gone right down, so I think I'll hold off them for a bit and see what happens. I was taking them for a short luteal phase. God it's such a minefield, can someone just magic a baby into me??!!!

countmyblessings hi!! there's 3 of us now on here with a previous EP. waves to midget - hope everything is going well for you midget!

martha hi, how's it going, can't remember if I've said congrats, but very happy for you!

and hi to everyone else, hope this a good month for those TTC and a calm month for all those who have got their BFPs!

and insomniaqueen if you're still lurking, hope all is going well with Amelia x

ConfusedMumDotCom · 03/06/2012 18:55

Just popping on to say congratulations to marbles Grin

JaffaSnaffle · 04/06/2012 09:06

Having a bit of a metal here. Not much of a reason. Just not feeling proper kicks. Think there might be a few- think- but my placenta is at the front so feeling little. 18 weeks tomorrow. I have a bump now, which means I can't disguise it, which bring spectre of another public late mc...
Also, sorry if tmi, but worrying about sex and orgasm. I know that unless you have been told you are high risk etc, which I haven't, it's fine, but I cannot stop worrying.
It is 2 weeks tomorrow until my next 'check-in'. It will be my 20 week scan. Not too long really but still long enough.
I thought the metalling would be calming down, but apparently not. I think the history of late mmc has made me completely doubt my body.

I am so sorry this is me me me, especially for those who are ttc or are waiting to get to their own pregnancy milestones.

Boris and Tas. Big hugs for your anniversaries. X

Martha, thinking of you and your friend too.

backwardpossom · 04/06/2012 13:39

Ooh marbles great news! :D

Yikes congratulations, hope all went well!

Jaffa hope you're ok x

Another one here who just wants to be pregnant again...

pebspop · 04/06/2012 13:43

Interesting tas I have been taking b vits and had no ewcm for the first time ever. I will keep taking them and see what happens this month.

Jaffa I know I would be feeling the same ad you. Late miscarriage is a horrible thing and is bound to affect future pg.

MandaHugNKiss · 04/06/2012 13:46

Gosh, doing this on memory and my memory is shot to hell because of all the Sleep Deprivation

Marff I remember when you first told us about your dear friend. Such a sad time but I think most of us here can recognise how important goodbyes are and I'm so glad you got to have yours as much as I wish you didn't need to - but I know you know what I mean! Holding you in my thoughts... and lurking for preggo updates.

boris I really hope you did find some solace in the service. My EDD was a strange time - compounded by getting a bfp a little while before (the anniversary of the induction was much more traumatic for me). I think the main thing is to actually acknowledge it, whether in deed or just thought.

Yikes Many congrats! I've a wedding to arrange at some point... just as soon as I sort out my divorce! Which will no doubt happen after we sort out buying a house... all of the above somehow went into limbo (with me) over the last year and a bit following the loss. Life just gets in the bloody way sometimes!

jaffa hearing you loud and clear over the anterior placenta - what kind of cruel joke is an anterior placenta after a loss? We need to feel the movements! You really are ok to have sex and, uh, enjoy it, y'know? Well, unless your placenta is low/anterior in which case I'm always shocked at how often caregivers neglect to inform what a low placenta means and precautions that need to be taken. Ha! I'm such a doofus - I was about to say 'will you find out the flavour at the 20 weeks scan?'

marbles WHEEEEEEEE! Fantabulous news!

lots of new people May this thread bring you the luck, love and support I've recieved (and fostered) here. A part of me is actually kinda sad that many of the 'names' are changing but it's actually that this thread has so many success stories that it's the case. Mc, even rmc, doesn't mean you will never have another baby - far from it. And with the advice and support you'll get here it may well be that you get another baby sooner than you imagine and I know that sometimes it feels like it will NEVER happen. IT WILL!

Well, Ladies and Gentlemen (what gentlemen, you say? Well, I hate to point out that those of you with blue coloured bfps/bumps are making teeny tiny penises inside you... Grin ) Measles has left the building! Of course, baby has 'woken up' somewhat so my chance to regroup and rest up passed in a haze of older children illness but ah, well, I'll muddle through. Re: him not making his birthweight by day 10 - between day 10 and day 13 when he was weighed again he'd gained 150 grams which is nearly 6oz... piling it on now he's woken up! jeeze at this rate he'll be gaining a pound a week

To MiLs for roast lamb shortly so better try and get ready...

TitsalinaBumSquash · 04/06/2012 16:02

I'm in the same position today Jaffa, no movements felt, usually get a couple, plus my 'bump' which is usually quite high and protruding has sunk and looks more like a flabby tummy today, I'm not feeling very pregnant. Sad

wilderumpus · 04/06/2012 16:19

tits bumps change shape :) My DS would have days when he had 'gone to ground' - particularly if I had been around loud music?!

jaffa hope you are ok. Don't forget that you are only 18 weeks which is only early for proper good kicks anywho?

manda lovely to hear your news and congrats! i am one of the newbies and thank you for your kind welcome. I completely know how you feel with new people coming in, but you are a grand dame here (in the nicest possible way!) and we all need your advices and inspiration perlease (particularly the bit about how we could get pregnant again!).

Today I feel like shite. Am supposed to be starting sex week but not in the mood (feel low) and having been to two public parks and a fete today and been surrounded by preggo people and their broods have completely convinced myself I will never be lucky enough to be preggers again. utterly never. Bah humbug :)

tasmaniandevilchaser · 04/06/2012 16:43

thanks wilderumpus I'll join you with feeling sorry for myself and drinking gin, but being a very classy lady, I'll have mine in a bucket with ice and a big slice. Ta!

jaffa and tits hope you're ok, it's understandable to be metalling, it'd be a bit strange if you didn't

pebs keep me posted on the EWCM, I'm off the Bvits, so we can do our own case study (2 participants only). God I'd never thought I'd write that - keep me posted on your EWCM, what has my life come to!! Grin

hi to everyone else, hope you're having a more jolly weekend

fatasbutter · 04/06/2012 17:52

Giss a swig of gin then, wilde!

Must be about cd2 or 3 by now - stupid AF! Will have to gird our loins and get busy in a few days!!

But seriously, I completely understand what a bag of nerves you will be until you are holding that tiny bundle in your arms... x
