It'll never happen, and even if it does, something will go wrong. Hut of Doom part deux

[duchesse]

There wasn't any more room for moaning with all those grinny smilies's eyes following me around the room.

Suspected (my own self-diagnosis) perimenopause, anyone?

I was halfway through typing a good news story then deleted it cos thought it might have been insensitive.

I bled at 8 weeks in my pregnancy, not bright red but just passed a large clot. Didnt dare tell anyone (i was 21 and a bit daft)but when I went for 12 week scan all was fine. When I finally told midwife she said its normal for a little endometrium to break away at the times when period would have been due as the pg is only sustained by hormones which are easily affected.

Hope this helps. I'm really soft but did actually get choked up when read what had happened, get lots of rest hun and don't be ashamed of being happy on Friday, we were all happy too. xxxxxx

Leahsmum- you're not gatecrashing. Have a (virtual) drink- it's prob the closest you're getting to one at the moment... We do a lot of boozing and swearing in here. Also joint-smoking.

Rahrah- I don't think that it's a widely-recognised diagnosis. Certainly not a mainstream one, so self-diagnosis has to be the way ahead. And if the "cure" is taking a load of B and C vitamins, it can only be good, right?

THanks duchesse!!! Make mine a double! Mayb I'll get a decent sleep tonight!

May b about to disappear - bat low flashing on laptop and I'm too lazy to go downstairs for the powercable - wonder if dp would appreciate me texting him to bring it up?

hahaha @ Leahsmum

ahem

Make the most of this time- even he'll be too tired to indulge your every whim in four weeks' time...

pmsl, give it a go

Got to be worth a try...

well trained!! Heard him coming upstairs for the loo there and let out a disappointed 'oh darlin if id know you were just coming up i;d have asked you to bring me the power cable up - oh please go and get me it.' ha ha lol - promptly went back down.

The joys!!

pmsl

pmsl

you better hope he doesn't read this over your shoulder or he will never do anything for you again!

very careful not to type while he was still in the room.

Thanks duchesse, I'm reading through the article, but keep being distracted.

duchesse - How do you know which supplements to get?

Are you just getting the vitamin C and Vitamin B5?

Dont quote me but I think Boots may sell natural cortisol..

Greedy - thinking of you, hope you get some answers in the morning xx

Rahrah- I got fish oil for the omegas; a B complex that includes whacking doses of B5; some cranberry extract capsules; selenium; siberian ginseng. I decided to take the suggested Vit a dose in the shape of carrot and veg juice, bearing in my my ttc status. I figured that none of the above would harm a developping feotus (ha! as if...). I am also taking a natural mineral complex in liquid form, forced on me by a friend who thinks I need it.

I rattle through my days. Loads more energy and definitely higher body temps though.

That is really interesting.... I am always cold.. and have a lowish temp. I seem to suffer from skin problems (very dry) and had a really bad episode of stress from work a few years ago..I get very anxious and suffer from panic attacks... I often feel like my blood sugar levels have dipped... I'm going to give it a try and nip down my health shop this week... God it will be amazing if it helps... all the doctors suggest is Anti D's and gave them ago and they did not do much.

Greedy, congratulations on your bfp! And I'm so sorry to hear you're h aving crampy bleeding. Whats the update - still bleeding or stopped? Any idea which way this is going?

You too, Lissie. What do you think is happening.

Good luck to both of you. I'm really hoping it's just one of those bleed stories where everything is still ok. Keep us posted.

OK, I've just had my second insensitive comment of the day. Number 1: the old gem "I suppose you must be thinking of having another baby soon". Number 2: "Please tell me everything about ttc because my first was conceived first month, even though I have PCOS so was expecting it to take ages. Happened sooner than we wanted really! Ha ha ha. Anyway, do tell me because you're our resident expert." Just have to vent, because Number 2 is downstairs and I just want to thump her.

still spotting

Does that mean it came back? Did you say you have a scan booked?

scan is tomorrow. been trying to stay upbeat, dont have any pain except a bit of backache when im walking, still getting resounding bfps but who knows

oh impatience, please let me thump her for you. pretty please. i have had major irrational thoughts today and need to vent. hate my body, hate ttc (or ftc) hate everything. cried in the loos at work today to top it all off. fortunately no-one saw me though.

im sorry, didnt mean to be insensitive, im just worried thisll be my 4th mc in 18m.

sorry lissie - if anyone's being insensitive it's me. hope you're bearing up ok, it must be tough. thinking of you x
