TTC after MC April 07 - Return to the Mother Ship

[popsy76]

Hi Ladies, thought I would just grab the bull by the proverbial horns and get this going. Hope the name is okay. MrsMc I am afraid we will all be thinking of you and your DH (and his light saber) everytime we post

Too many individual posts to go back and answer so I thought I'd start with a positive message for all of us from the March thread and for any MC newbies...

Today is my 1 month MN anniversary and I do not know what I would have done without you all. It is the ability to get on here and "let it all out" that keeps me going. I have been blessed to have found you all and whatever lies in my future - your kindness and advice will stay with me forever.

Big Love and Hip hip hooray for a fabulous new positive thread POPSY xxxx

p.s. Gilly get your arse down to london - we can drink the bars dry of Rose (purely medicinal of course )

(that second message from me was aimed at i will be positive - not in response to my own one)
argh

popsy - but i dunno if it was a long cycle, there was that light bleed in the middle. argh.

[going mad emoticon]

I had a light bleed half way thru this month though was brown and weird and mucousy so thought was problem with cervix - I'll never know of course - wish i was a doc and could do tests on myself! Hang in there chick!

how long did the bleed last?

this was period coloured (i think) and a few days but not v heavy.

Ladies I am so sorry I am going to have to admit defeat and not catch up from Friday ? anything massive I?ve missed? I?ll try and catch up on today at least. How are you all? Doing well?

Hope all of you poor ladies feeling unwell are ok

Winky ? I am so sorry that you are going through this stress hon, I have everything crossed for you. I was at work when I started bleeding and didn?t have anyone to talk too, I am so glad you have nice people to take care of you x Please don?t be too brave and take some time out, I know that it might not make any difference to the LO but it?ll make a lot of difference to you. x

Gilly ? sounds like things are falling into place with you!

Have a lovely holiday Torres I didn?t convince them to re-scan but I have been so sick over the last few days that I think this is Junior?s way of reassuring me! Next scan at 14+3 on 20/7!

Very {envy] of your meet up!

alittlebitshy ? I?d say it?s two cycles but to expect anything at the mo I?m afraid

Oh, sorry to hear Winky. Be kind to yourself though,even if it is early in your pg you still need time to come to terms with it. Thinking of you x

Gilly, Torres and Popsy - I wish I lived in London for this tea shop thingy. I know what Gilly looks like, but you both describr yourself very differently to how I imagine you - Popsy = pretty, blonde, petite, wavy hair, very exppressive face, and Torres = middle height, dark hair, sophisticated and chic. I would be the one that embarassed you al by falling over my own feet as I walked through the door, then scoffed all the cream cakes .

Torres, you are right, scary tht we have very similar thoughts......

well my hair would be wavy if I let it and it is blond (but thru no fault of its own)

off home to buy plants to make garden look fab for weekend bbq shenanigans yeeehaaaaa

Hi Girls,

Got my HCG results back. At 4w 3d it was 1318 and today at 4w 5d its 2456. Its increased but hasnt doubled . Got to go back for a repeat test and scan on Friday. If nothing shows up on the scan ill be having a camera put inside (laparoscopy (sp) ) to see if they can see anything that way. Im absolutly shitting myself.

Hey harveysaunt - chin up darlin' the levels have gone up at least so has to be a good sign doesn't it? Not that I even know what a hgv level is, but it sounds positive. Am sending positive vibes.
Am sitting with second glass wine after SUCH a busy day, so feel justified. Plus DP was working late so have cooked tea, given little one her bath and spent quality time with her so altogether feeling very smug. I know I'd be OK at this - not the best, but not the worst, if only I get the chance soon (self-pity emoticon).
Sooo jealous of your meet-up
If you needed to recognise me you'd just have to look for a chubby blonde (ish, depending on the roots) who is lost in own little world and probably either tripping over her own feet or dropping something. Obviously I will be far too busy being PG (wishful thinking?) by then to come over to the big smoke but hope you girls have fun x

Morning Harveys and winky hope you are feeling okay today - I just can't believe that post MC-ers still have problems when PG again - seems so bloody unfair! Does make me realise that what the docotrs say is true - it is wiping the slate clean - therefore doesn't mean we'll defo MC again but the chances are the same as last time so it is very possible - GOD is enough to put you off trying altogether (almost )
Big Love and Hugs to you both!!!

p.s. chin up EllieG Your time will come - I can feel it in my bones
I am really trying hard not to over analyse ttc stuff now cos i can see it can take over everything - trying to get on and enjoy life and hoping PG will sneak up on me so I can enjoy it again (wishful thinking?)
p.p.s. Herby haven't heard from you in AGES are you okay hon?

Agree popsy - go through stages of being fine and then get all obsessive (e.g this monring when had quite watery CM - sorry if TMi - and had to rush off to internet to check if was PG symptom). Have decided am imposing a ban on that twoweekwait website as is turning me into a nutter.

erm.... it was not a long cycle ladies. I got a bfp (well, not that fat but still visible lines poss even clearer than last pg) this am.
argh.
so scared.

OH MY GOD LITTLEBIT FUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKK
AM IN SHOCK - BET YOU ARE TOO
oops better take caps lock off - how are you?????

ha ha can't stop grinning SO PLEASED for you - feel like I have known you forevcer - is like my sister has got PG!

aw thanks popsy!! That made me smile (albeit watery smile)... Can't wait to meet you (et al)
got to pop out now (counselling!) but will be back later.

Yey! Hurray for you lbshy! Am very pleased and excited for you hon xxx

hi all, alittlebit! congrats honey!!!!

my you have been chatty, hope youre all well.

CD11 today and think i ov'd yesterday but still spotting from HSG. rang doc and apparently thats normal, just all the crap and gunk coming out ewww!

ew lissie that sounds no pleasant!!!

Thanks for all the congrats. I kind of fele that I don't deserve them yet cos I haven't got as far as i did last time (sat will be when i started miscarrying).

So scared.

is all i can say.

keep wanting to be happy then remembering that I can't be naive anymore

Hi lissie IKWYM and I am sure MrsMc, FurryMummy, Beckle, Winkie etc can agree that is not plain sailing from this point in - i know is not the same but when I had symptoms last week I was actually scared rather than pleased and did not want to test as finding a BFN would just bring more fretting (and less control). However, you can pat yourself on the back for getting this far, staying sane (relatively ha ha) and for being so pragmatic. Give yourself a positive mantra to keep you going such as "I am pregnant and will do everything I can to look after my beanie" You know the rest is up to chance but can focus on the things you CAN do like taking it easy, reducing your stress levels and eating well?
Good luck lovely lady!
p.s. your good news has given me a little seed of hope too - is CD40 here - no symptoms of AF or anything really hmmm - although my hair has gone very curly and I am very brown for first time in life - these pesky hormones are doing something anyway???

oops sorry that was for littlebit

p.p.s. lissie ughhhh how rancid - is always a shock to me how much we get used to talking about this stuff - have shocked a few of my friends after a few drinks recently and have to remind myself that some detail should be reserved for MN only! For example was in Mataln trying on bras with a friend and whipped nipple out in hallway so she could see was dark blue/black rather than red - poor thing was terrified!

sorry, i dont even think about tmi anymore tbh. i was chatting to SiL the other day about her labour and my probs and we were v graphic. glad there was noone else there!
