So happy for you Bugs

I'm lurking in the undergrowth cheering all the BESH on, I'm just not able to post much at the moment!

cletterthedishes · 17/03/2014 13:16

That is FANTASTIC bugs!

You shall be my inspiration. No more menkulling for me (ha ha ha ha ha)

Hi frankel, huge congratulations on your new arrival! I've been lurking round the PESH thread but didn't want to post as felt like a threadcrasher Smile Hope the first weeks are going well!

I have been to my emergency appt, the doc was great and has referred me for a viability scan on Weds am. Fingers crossed . . .

bugs, I will be one day shy of eight weeks.

If it's OK and measuring correct, it will officially be an improvement on the last time.

Enjoy your time off from the menkul Smile With everything being normal and healthy at nine weeks, the chance of anything bad happening is very small and decreasing by the day. Plus your good news means that this pregnancy is most definitely different to any you've had before!

Big whoop Bugs, that's amazing! Am so pleased for youSmile

FizzyFeet · 17/03/2014 18:15

Stand back, hags, I've got my nipple tassels on for an official dance for bugs. Awesome news!

dishy great that the doc was so good. Crossing fingers and toes for a good scan for you on Weds. Are you recovered from the D&V now?

Nice name change, frank Smile

I'm wishing away the days until thurs when the scan will tell us if my lining is thick enough. Had an awkward moment with my boss earlier - she asked what I wanted to focus on this year and I came very close to saying get pregnant and then fark off on maternity leave. Not very professional!

Fabuluce · 17/03/2014 18:51

Keeping hold of a toe for Dish for Wednesday - thank god for a decent doc who can see your anxiety.

Fizz - keep going with the protein gubbins for that lush lining - chicken and chickpea heaven for you Smile

FizzyFeet · 17/03/2014 19:02

Well as it happens I'm having roast chicken tonight! Grin

I have practically forgotten what carbohydrates are

Fabuluce · 17/03/2014 19:03

Ps - I'm so with you on the being pregnant goal for the year - I was like that year - all I wanted to say last year was farrrrk off I'm pregnant and I'm taking your mat leave money mwahahahahaaa!

Afm I am totally over moving house - bored bored bored bored with it now. It's never ending boxes and crap. Just pulled up the carpet and underlay in the downstairs loo because it was stingingly mingling (and why carpet in a Loo??) and even the concrete underneath was soaked!! We're going to rip the whole bog out to find out where the damn leak is.

Tomorrow will be a painting day - attempting to turn the feature wall in the master bedroom from violent pink to red and painting the rest of the room cream and also stripping the skirts back and repainting - literally every single thing needs to be done. Carpet people are coming in on weds for a quote - cant wait to get the master bedroom sorted so we have a safe space to retreat to.

Thanks for the support, hags

I'm over the d&v fizzy, cheers. It was almost certainly norovirus. Violently unpleasant for 12 hours, then stops.

I'm very lucky to have seen such lovely GPs for all my pregnancy appts over the last year. I'm a bit worried I won't find local ones as good! The guy I saw I've actually seen before, he's not much older than me and I get the feeling from what he's said that he's experienced TTC problems in his life. He was fab.

fab, I know what you mean. I'm sitting here looking at unopened boxes now, and it's four months since we moved in. Any day now the roofers are going to turn up and start ripping the roof off.

missH, that sounds lovely if totes emosh. I keep meaning to do ours . . . only been two years I've been saying that for Smile

fizzy, I felt like that about my job for a year. Luckily it was shit anyway and I was forced to chose to pack it in. I am pretty much a housewife (though technically self-employed). Not sure how I feel about it, but it sure makes it easier to use the post office Grin

Fankletastic · 17/03/2014 21:04

Phew! Glad to hear your scan was fine Bugs.

Dishy, keep up the PMA. How horrendous you've had a nasty bug and then been worried sick.

I've lost count of the number of work reviews and objective setting nonsense that I've wanted to write : 'get pregnant and fark off' for ALL of my objectives.

Fab- my sympathies on the house renovations and move clutter. We moved just over a year ago and were very productive in the first 6-9 months. But we've become lazy now...need to pick up the pace again now that it's spring.

Saw my FC today for my post laparoscopy review. He's going to refer us to acu, so will no doubt be waiting months for an appointment. Ho hum . Let's just hope/pray/woo the universe for diffment before we get to that stage. Having my woo needles tomorrow. Am going to ask her to direct them to clearing my nasal congestion instead of womble nourishment.

Oh and congratulations Frank. Like the new name!

eurochick · 17/03/2014 21:08

Yuk for the leaky loo fab. Our family business is flooring and the fitters have had to take up some minging stuff in their time.

dish I'm glad the dr was helpful. I hope the scan will help ease your worries.

bugs I've said it elsewhere but I am thrilled for you. :)

MY mw appointment today was fine. It was such a relief to hear the heartbeat (and the swooshy movements as centime tried to bat away the doppler). That should help the menkul for about 2 days.

cherrycoconut · 17/03/2014 21:23

Fishy hurrahs for bugs and euro, brilliant news, made up for you both! Good on your GP dishes, hope you get some reassurance soon.

Art at the work objectives Fankle oh have I been there, but the now me is very pleased the then me grudgingly knuckled down with the hard shit in the end.

Fab a retreat makes all the difference sanity; from experience it does also slow progress too as you have somewhere to sit and cozily neck gin. But it is nice.

Thanks. I'm really quite scared about it.

Was trying not to come on here (to allay the menkul) but failed Smile

I'll check in tomorrow

FizzyFeet · 19/03/2014 07:53

Good luck today, dishy!

cletterthedishes · 19/03/2014 11:14

Horrible fucking news from the scan. It's there, it's got a heartbeat, but it's measuring 6 weeks. I am 8 weeks.

The doctor said it was a 'really positive result' and that period dates are 'unreliable'. NO IT IS NOT A FUCKING POSITIVE RESULT. My periods are like 28-day clockwork. I had a solid CB positive result on CD29. We did not conceive two weeks after I got a positive. I am eight weeks pregnant. It is clearly struggling to survive.

This is exactly what happened last time. It had a heartbeat and measured a week small at 7 weeks; by 10 it was dead.

They are going to scan me again in two weeks, by which time I expect this one will be dead as well.

I would rather it had just been dead right now. At least that way I could let go. Now we have to wait through two weeks of hell before we know for sure.

I'm in bits. MrC is horribly confused owing to sonographer misunderstanding my dates and saying six weeks was 'perfectly normal', then doctor saying my dates might be wrong, one person saying I should be taking aspirin and then another that I shouldn't, plus absolutely everybody saying it was a 'good result'.

I think he holds out hope, but to be frank I don't. It would have to be an act of fucking God for this to turn out OK. I'm too cynical to believe all this stuff about it being 'good news'. They're hardly going to say 'yeah, it doesn't look good, probably won't make it.'

There is clearly something wrong with me that is stopping them attaching and thriving, and it's fucking horrible to sit here without knowing what it is or whether there's some simple treatment for it, waiting for it to strangle this one as well.

FUCK YOU WORLD

I just feel limp at the moment. I could probably ring up and try and get an earlier scan but for the moment I can't do anything.

Oh Dishes - I'm so sorry Sad

Eat chocolate, hide away for a bit, we're here for venting and toe holding. I hate it when others presume to know more about your own body than you do, I'd much prefer an honest answer than platitudes. I'm thinking of you and sending comfort vibes, Deep breaths and lots of hugs. Thanks
