Hello ladies! Hopefully you're all well and enjoying the sun?

I've not read too far up, otherwise I'd be here all night trying to catch up with you all!

Sorry about AF Maybe & Imps Maybe I was told by my acu lady to give it a couple of months for the acu to start to regulate things. You really do have a keeper there with your DH by the way!

Wow Sparkes now that's a cocktail and a half of supplements you're loading up on there! All I've taken is Folic acid & vit b complex but the vit bs were mainly to help pmt and my energy levels. I've recently started taking iron supplements but only because it was recommended by my acupuncturist. Sorry I haven't the faintest on the stuff you're taking.

Geek twice in 2 days!! You go girl!!

I can't remember who it was but a couple of you said you received SA results?? I'm brooking these sort themselves out soon!

Keep how are you doing? Do you have your scan soon? Is that right? When are off to Thailand?

Everything crossed for you Sweetie I'm really hope you can pull out that BFP before you start IVF, lovely!

Well I had my first appointment this afternoon, with the consultant carrying out the IVF and it was very informative and he was really nice! We have our next appointment next week where we will have a better idea of dates etc

In other news I think I'm laying a big fat juicy egg as I've been getting mittlewhatsit pain, which I don't normally get!

Waves to everyone else!

SecretSparkle · 25/07/2012 22:20

Yay maybs I'm making a friendship bracelet already!!

Forgot what else I was gonna say, anyone else find this sticky weather rather hard?

SecretSparkle · 25/07/2012 22:23

solars good that's your cons was so helpful, but also jolly good news that your laying a big fat juicy egg!!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 26/07/2012 03:56

I am in a bad way ladies. Been up for 3 hours now with excruciating pains. It has never been this bad. Nothing is taking the edge off. Am trying so hard not to throw upnasni need the pain killers inside me. I don't know how I can function like this. Sorry for moaning brookers Sad

Solars I'm glad your appointment went well.

Biscuitsandtea · 26/07/2012 06:36

Maybe should you try the GP? Has the bleeding started (I'm thinking you just had pains yesterday)? Honestly though get yourself along to the doctors today - anything worse than normal (especially as bad as you're describing) should be checked out xx

Geeklette · 26/07/2012 06:51

Morning brookers!

maybe, I second biscuits' advice. If this is not normal for you, you absolutely must see a doctor. Have you started bleeding yet, or is it just pain? I seem to recall you had a really bad time after your last cp (not saying that this was a cp, just remembering) and we were all on your back for days about seeing someone. Save us all a bit of nagging Wink and pleeeeaaase seek help (just not the twunty dr you saw last time).

solars I too am getting ready to lay a big fat juicy egg this weekend! I've been getting random middle pains, but I just know this will be the one on the basis that I already have morning sickness at 3 days before ov, I'm ever so tired, and my norks are hurting and that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to so with me having spent all day yesterday poking them to see if they were sore, no siree!

Still trying to do the stupid bloody job for work, looks like last night was a waste of time so I'll have to spend another couple of hours tonight doing the darn thing.

Geeklette · 26/07/2012 06:53

PS solars congrats on having a great appointment.

Who is having an appointment this friday? Keeps is it you? Good luck :)

SecretSparkle · 26/07/2012 07:07

maybe agree that you should see someone!! These super painful periods aren't right!!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 26/07/2012 08:23

Hello brookers. I'm back from A&E. MrMaybe rushed me there. Have been sent home with nice painkillers and told to rest. Pregnancy test was negative, but I suppose if it had been a cp it would be?

The bleeding is ridiculous, at least three times worse than normal. Whilst I have painful periods they are never heavy. Am completely shattered now. My blood pressure was sky high too,though I am thinking that's just from the pain. Don't know how to explain this one to work. Maybe just that I spent the night in A&E.

I feel like a bit of a fraud going to hospital, but they were really lovely.

Sorry for the me me me, brooking service shall resume in due course.

Brew for you all for caring x

SecretSparkle · 26/07/2012 08:31

maybe you poor poor thing. Did they say what it might be? I really think tomorrow (i think its tomorrow) you really need to push for a scan because I think you need to find out whats going on in there. and if they think it was another CP then they need to sort that out as well!!

GenericDietCola · 26/07/2012 08:35

Aw Maybe take it easy today and that's an order!

Solars glad that you had a good appointment and hurrah for the juicy egg!

Brooking for Sweetie's AF to stay the f* away today!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 26/07/2012 08:35

Thanks Sparks I agree. I think the A&E consultant would have run more tests, but I told him we were coming back tomorrow morning anyway. I was just worried as it is only on the left side and in my hip and back, and it's the same side I was getting my womble twinges. Bless MrMaybe. He has decided it is my body having a big clear out so we can get pregnant next month. God I love that man

Oh and Sweetie what news lovely?

NoMaybeAboutIt · 26/07/2012 08:36

Thanks Gen hug much appreciated. Did you see the naked men film?

SecretSparkle · 26/07/2012 08:55

awwww maybs you're making me well up too (bleugh Im not a softie) I'm interested to know what they say tomorrow.

Oh and you should all know I think Im having Octopiglets this month too, on account of the fact that my Shreddies smelt of wet dog Hmm only CD6 and they're already putting me off food!!

cartoonface · 26/07/2012 08:57

whats happened maybe!
im freaked out after reading an article about one of dr shehatas patience. she had 18mc nhs said there was nothing wrong. he found her to have high Nk cells. she was told to have a yr off tcc. A YEAR! she had to inject her self every day she then fell preg but lost it again because she developed diabeties (i cant spell) so they gave her insulin as well and she finally had her baby. but got she says the injections were awful and having to wait a yr! horrible horrible!

Geeklette · 26/07/2012 08:58

Oh maybe :( I'd just tell work it was a night spent in A&E, they don't need to know any details. It could just be your body having a clearout but anything out of the ordinary definitely needs to be thoroughly checked out. Good luck with your appointment, I hope they can give you some answers. MrMaybe sounds truly amazing!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 26/07/2012 09:02

Awwwwww, you guys I will definitely let you know how it goes tomorrow. That's what I told work Geek. MrMaybe is the best.

Sparks not you as well? Goodness me, we are going to have to all club together to get a bulk but of cots/prams/nappies etc Grin

Face step away from Dr Google Smile

cartoonface · 26/07/2012 09:04

dp wanted to know exactly what this dr was qualified in so i blame him. i found this story on his web site. apparently nk cells cause 50% of mcs.
are u ok maybe?

Oh maybe hope you feel better soon, glad mrmaybe has been looking after you.

I feel a bit of a wimp coming on here and saying I've got a bit of a tummy ache cos its CD1, but I'll be sitting on a train for a few hours today so I can be grumpy all on my own :o
Oh and why is it always CD1 for me when we need a new thread? Can we keep the next thread going for 9 months so I get pregnant and have a baby??

Excellent news on your appointment solars , and for the giant egg geek

Waves to all and leaves out a selection of ice cold drinks

TheLittleFriend · 26/07/2012 09:25

Oh maybe, you poor thing. Hope you start to feel better soon.

just to add to the raspberry leaf tea convo, although it doesn't induce labour, and as Jen says, just strengthens your uterus, you are not meant to take it before wk 37 of pregnancy. So, like Evening primrose oil, it is probably best to only take it up to ovulation just in case?

keepitgoing · 26/07/2012 09:30

Hi all, am super busy sorting things before next Friday's flight, so sorry this is short its all a bit of a nightmare tbh. maybe you did the right thibg to fi to hosp, and be good to go back tmrw as I think ectopics can give a negative preg test. Not to care you, but better to be safe.

solars yes, I have the dildo cam tomorrow, aka internal ultrasound, so brooking much appreciated.

Am hanging around for sweetie news

SecretSparkle · 26/07/2012 09:36

Gen Im afraid we talk too much for that!! but you can have a BFP in the next thread, how does that sound?

To be honest with you though, the reason I didnt start off this thread is because I thought, maybe, just maybe I'd get lucky (as in my threads were always lucky for other people) want a loser!!!

Geeklette · 26/07/2012 09:53

Oh my, keep, that's come round so quickly!! How exciting! Don't worry about not posting, it must be an amazingly busy time for you. Brooking for your appointment regardless :)

CupcakesAndCocktails · 26/07/2012 11:19

Hello everyone

Frootz congratulations! We love a BFP around here Grin

Maybe that sounds terrible. Lots of hugs and brooking for tomorrow's appointment. Are the painkillers kicking in yet?

Sweetie any news?!?!

Sorry for lack of posting. Things have been crazy since getting back off hols. My poor puppy got attacked by another dog as we were taking her out for a walk. It all turned nasty as the owner got very aggressive & threatened my DH despite the fact our dog was on her lead, his wasn't and he ran over unprovoked & bit her. We have had the police around over it & have been to the vets a few times. She is on the mend now.

It's made things crazy as she was meant to be in doggy day care all week as we are having our bathroom done. So I have had to swap all my shifts round to make sure she isn't home alone. Plus my house is a tip & we have no shower or bath [stressed emoticon]

I don't think I'm ever going to be able to catch up on the thread. Too much talking in here Smile
