heaven congratulations!! Smile

Gr33dyeggs · 20/02/2015 09:36

Congrats heaven.

Now I'm in a quandry. I had a really sore and sticky eye all night and this morning look like a relative of the elephant man. Went to walk in centre who asked if I'd tried anti histamine. I said no because I'm trying for a baby. I've now been given Chloramphenicol which says not to take if ttc or pregnant unless advised by dr and to discontinue if pregnancy occurs. Im cd 23 so could be. But my eye is sore and a mess. I've put one drop in and now wondering whether to do no more. Why don't they tell you side effects when prescrbing coz likely now I'll need another appointment, and prescription if I stop the course?!? Cross and sore. Wwyd?

sebsmummy how are you today?

TeenieDeenie · 20/02/2015 10:24

Gr33dyI would call the GPS and ask to talk to the doctor you seen so you can explain that the drops clearly state not to be used if ttc or in pregnancy and see what they say?

northdownmummy · 20/02/2015 12:38

I've not been brave enought to say it till now

I'm pregnant

Took 3 tests on Wednesday after my crampy PMS symptoms didn't result in AF arriving as expected. I'd spend all of Tuesday in tears because I wasn't going to be pregnant before my due date. I was on a training course with 2 pregnant ladies and one on maternity leave and all the baby talk had me hiding in the loos sobbing.

I'm absolutely terrified and feeling all in a bit of a fog, seems too good to be true. I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday to get the results of my day 21 bloods.... Will be getting myself on to the books for the midwife rather than the fertility clinic.

TeenieDeenie · 20/02/2015 12:46

Awwww North congratulations my lovely! I can't imagine how you must be feeling, sounds like you've been on a real an emotional rollercoaster this week and can totally understand you being terrified... Just from what you've said in your post though it seems like it's all very 'meant to be' Smile Congrats to you again and we're all here for support. Hugs. x

Amyyy27 · 20/02/2015 12:56

Congratulations north fantastic news!! X

gennibugs · 20/02/2015 13:00

Congratulations north! I can totally believe the emotions you must have had this week - fx for you.

sebsmummy how are you today? Hope things are ok (well as ok as they can be in the circs)

chasingtherainbow · 20/02/2015 13:12

North that is amazing!!! Hugest congratulations!

sebsmummy how was your night. Not too rough I hope. Thinking of you x

brickiemum2 · 20/02/2015 13:32

Congratulations north

Gr33dyeggs · 20/02/2015 15:16

Thanks teenie I managed to get a telephone consultation with one of my GPs who said he'd do a prescription for something safe. So now I have fuscidic acid which is apparently better. Probably no need for the panic but better to be safe.

Congrats northdown. I hope I get similar after my 21 day bloods!

fififolle · 20/02/2015 15:23

Congratulations North superb news. You must be thrilled to bits!

Thanks ladies, just told my mum. That's it feeling a bit more real

TeenieDeenie · 20/02/2015 20:19

Gr33dy, am glad you got it sorted, hope your eye heals up quickly!

chasingtherainbow · 21/02/2015 00:34

Greedy I hope your eye heals quick!

North I hope you had fun telling your mum!

I keep envisioning telling dh family. We go away end of march and I'd like to have an early scan done and tell them all then but depends if we catch this month!

Whatamuddleduck · 21/02/2015 07:15

Hi all.
Could someone give me a virtual slap and tell me to man up please? I seem to be in the midst of a baby boom so this weekend I have friends to see today and tomorrow, both of whom have 2nd pregnancies to announce and then on Monday I'm off to family and have a cousin and a school friend to see, both of whom have pregnancies announced this week. I'm happy for them, I'm just dreading the cheery 'when will you get around to it' questions. I used to plaster on a bright smile but I'm not sure I can this time. I just want to hide. But I'm grateful that I'm not my brave and beautiful sister, she finished her cancer treatment this week but now won't be able to have any more children. I have the hope at least , and on that basis I need to man up and get these visits done, sister definitely gets first dibs on hiding at the moment.
Oh, why does this all have to be so bloody hard!

ladydoc · 21/02/2015 07:23

I know how you feel whatamuddleduck. I agree it is bloody hard, so don't beat yourself up about it. I get fed up with people asking when will i get around to having a baby. It's very insensitive. I would never ask that - you never know what issues there might be underlying. I sometimes feel like answering truthfully that i have had a mc, just to make them realise how hurtful questions can be.

epskie · 21/02/2015 08:11

Congrats on all the BFP's! Lovely news :-)

Fingers crossed for everybody else. I will find out on Monday what is happening to me re my rising hcg levels. Hope it's nothing too nasty!

epskie · 21/02/2015 08:13

It's 2 months today since I had it confirmed that I was miscarrying, I can't believe it's still not over :-(

chasingtherainbow · 21/02/2015 09:25

Epski where are you all with it now.. how did your bloods go after that rise?

duck I'm glad to hear your sisters treatment has finished. I hope she is okay. . That's alot on your plate as well as hers.. be kind to yourself. Alot of my friends started ttc no2 when I did they all have babies now. And 3 others Inc my sister in law are due end of May like we were. I'd do anything to be having a healthy 12 week scan by then to ease what will be a difficult time. But this all hinges on it being my month this month. And with a negative opk today I'm not sure It will be.

I always do answer truthfully to stuff like that. I don't mind who knows I had a mc and it serves anyone right for being insensitive!

Sorry youre feeling down ladies thinking of you all Flowers

Chasing we were due may 26th (day before my birthday damn it) and same here i have pinned my hopes on having a 12 week scan to get through my due date. On top of that i kept being asked what i was doing for my birthday and after repeating i didnt want to do much this year 'as its not a great time' i had to have the difficult talk of that being our due day etc. Grr!

Gr33dyeggs · 21/02/2015 12:52

duck I'd be like guy and tell the truth. It might make them a bit more sensitive to your situation too.

My eye is soooo much improved. I'm braving going tonight. Driving though.

Cariad2014 · 21/02/2015 13:50

Sorry I haven't been around very much recently. Just popping in to congratulate North.

Sebsmum - so sorry to read about your MC. Finding out about it at your 12 week scan sounds like one of the cruelest things imaginable. It just feels so unfair, particularly as I recall how long you battled to get your BFP in the first place. Thinking of you Flowers

sebsmummy1 · 21/02/2015 15:15

Thanks Cariad. I'm trying very very hard to be grateful for what I have and cherish my fiancée and son. I'm not sure if I'm at the end of my TTC journey or whether we will be able to carry on. I think I'll see how the surgery goes and whether my body can get back to some semblance of normal cycles again. I suspect they will get extremely short again which will upset me no end. Anyway, it could be worse and I think in the worst of times you just have to try and see your blessings where you can xx
