also HR and my Director have scheduled in a meeting at 9,30am with me.... shitting myself... I am still on probation which doeskin finished till April! Feel like its gonna be bad news!

Kinsters · 04/03/2019 08:48

InDreamland I can relate to feeling like that about work. Its a horrible feeling. I'm sure you know that the MCs were absolutely not your fault and it shouldn't make you feel inadequate. You're doing your best. It's easy to say that to someone else and hard to think it yourself though.

I love Venice! We went a few years ago and it was lovely to just wander around.

Rose I agree with InDreamland, you've still got a chance if it's what you want. Plenty of women have babies in their 40s and I think it must be a good sign that you've had children before so your body knows it can do it.

Kinsters · 04/03/2019 08:52

Twittle your DH can say he's joking all he wants but with what you're going through and what you've been through those comments are a bit cruel. I hope the meeting is nothing bad.

tigsyboo · 04/03/2019 09:14

Good luck @TwittleBee xx

I'm 6 weeks on Thursday @edidxb

How are you feeling @Pegase xx

ratherbeshowjumping · 04/03/2019 10:42

@Twittle hope your meeting goes OK :( fx'd for you. Also, your DH is being awful!! I'd be so upset if mine said anything like that. Absolutely no excuses to make any comments like that regardless of what you've been through or not.

Agree with @Kin and @Dreamland too @Rose, many women continue to have babies well into their 40s. Please keep positive.

First day back to work and feel like I'm coming down with a horrible cold. Feeling achy, tired and a banging head Sad

Kinsters · 04/03/2019 11:13

How many dpo are you rather? I think it was you that said a cold was a good sign when I was complaining of one at 5dpo or whatever it was!

tigsyboo · 04/03/2019 12:19

@ratherbeshowjumping I had a stinker of a cold this month - the reason I tested 2 days early at 11dpo was because I really wanted Sudafed as my sinuses were completely blocked but thought I best check..... and sure enough bfp!

ratherbeshowjumping · 04/03/2019 12:19

@Kinsters I'm 5dpo Blush
It feels so wrong to be symptom spotting this early but you actually did have a cold & your mozzie bites at 5dpo so I guess it's completely possible...

tigsyboo · 04/03/2019 12:20

What was the meeting @TwittleBee?? Xx

TwittleBee · 04/03/2019 12:46

Bad news followed by good news...

I've been made redundant, Brexit was the given reason FFS.

Good news scan went well and been told it's probably an irritated cervix again.

Kinsters · 04/03/2019 12:51

ratherbe colds are clearly an early symptom!

Twittle that's so crap about being made redundant, especially because I remember you said money was tight right now. Are you part of a union at all and is there any way you could contest it? Do you think they selected you because they know you're TTC?

I'm very pleased that the scan looked good though.

TwittleBee · 04/03/2019 12:55

Money is so tight Yeah Kin - feel like an idiot for having another baby tbh, it's impossible for us to stay in our home and only live on one wage. Really freaking out as have no clue what we shall be doing.

tigsyboo · 04/03/2019 13:24

Oh no @TwittleBee I'm so sorry about your job!!!
Great news re the scan tho xxx

DartmoorDoughnut · 04/03/2019 13:43

@TwittleBee that sucks about being made redundant Sad I’m assuming due to being in probationary period it’ll be difficult to fight it? Fantastic news re your scan though!! I’ve just realised I’m on your woodland thread, you’ve got shit loads going on haven’t you!

@edidxb how are you feeling? Glad your DH is looking after you Smile

@ratherbeshowjumping honestly as soon as I read that I thought it was a good sign! Fingers crossed Grin

I’m feeling convinced that I’m not pregnant I got a pinky shadow line this morning but in a fit of pique I took the tests apart and I can’t see a line on any of the ones which looked shadowy ... trying to count my blessings but realistically this month was my last shot and if AF turns up I think I’ll be hibernating with a couple of bottles of wine and a packet of smokes for a weekend!

Rose68 · 04/03/2019 14:01

@Twittlebee shit I am so sorry about your job! But wonderful news on the scan! I had a feeling all would be okay.

@Dartmoordoughnut did you take a photo of today’s test?

edidxb · 04/03/2019 14:14

@Twittlebee - good news first! that's fantastic about the scan. I am so happy for you and so happy it seems to be going well. I really wanted it to be OK and thought it would be!

Bad news though - sorry about the redundancy. Do they still give you a package as you are in probation? Will you get a decent payoff to at least give you a few months breathing space. I seem to remember you work in property? Do you think there are many other jobs out there?

@dartmoor - what kind of test did you use today? A FRER?

@ratherbe and @kin in both of my previous pregnancies I had a terrible cold in the 2WW. This one I didn't but they do say your body goes weak as it is trying to put the energy into growing a baby which is pretty cool!

@betty - I am sorry you are feeling like giving up. You must feel so tired if that has been the case for the last 3 years. It has to get better at some point though? Don't give up yet. You got pregnant 3 times last year so it can happen again. You just have to be ultra strict once it happens again and try and rest............easier said than done I know!!

DartmoorDoughnut · 04/03/2019 14:47

@Rose68 @edidxb yes another FRER, 10dpo today

ratherbeshowjumping · 04/03/2019 15:07

Thank you all, I know the timing was well off this month so it would be a huge miracle... that is a really cool fact though @edidxb Grin I have to keep reminding myself I'm only 5dpo and I was sat on a really cold nightflight plane for 6.5hrs on Saturday so chances are it's just that...

Twittle I'm so sorry, what shit news for you. Glad all is ok with the little bean though. How many weeks are you now?

@dartmoor, I do think I can see a shadow.....! 10dpo is so early... keep testing!

Kinsters · 04/03/2019 15:12

If I remember correctly edidxb's timing was also "bad" last cycle! Keeping my fingers crossed for you rather!

You're not an idiot for having another baby Twittle. How could you have known this would happen? And even if you could have predicted it you still wouldn't be an idiot.

Dartmoor I can't see a line on today's but I'm sure I could on the one you posted yesterday. Fingers crossed!

ratherbeshowjumping · 04/03/2019 15:27

That's very true, it was 👍🏼 thanks for keeping your fingers crossed 😘

DartmoorDoughnut · 04/03/2019 18:35

@Kinsters honestly it came up and I was thinking there’s a line OMG and then when I tried to take a photo it was like a shadow, so sodding annoying!! However I am a bit crampy today and - sorry TMI! - have creamy white CM so trying to stay hopeful

InDreamland · 04/03/2019 20:51

Oh goodness @Twittlebee I'm sorry to great about your job, that is truly shit. Great news though about your scan. You're not an idiot for having a baby, things well work out.

@DartmoorDoughnut sorry but I can't see a line but I'm really tired so not fussing m focusing great. Hopefully later this week will be a clear line.

I have had another bad day, crying in the loos at work. I'm just so fed up of this, it just feels so unfair. Why am I so useless?

Kinsters · 05/03/2019 00:59

Dartmoor it's so hard to get a good picture. I was only able to get a clear one by putting the test on the window so it was covered in sunlight.

InDreamland it is horribly unfair. You're not useless though. I hope your holiday helps you feel a bit more positive but you've been going through this for so long it's not surprising that you're upset Flowers

Kinsters · 05/03/2019 01:00

Dartmoor I just looked at your pictures again and am sure I see something on the first one!

DartmoorDoughnut · 05/03/2019 06:08

@InDreamland big (((hugs))) on the way, you’re not useless xx

@Kinsters another possible shadow this morning so I think I must have a duff batch of FRERs tbh. Trying to stay positive but gutted. Hope you’re feeling ok Flowers
