ttc after mc July/August 2007 - shiny new thread as the other was full

Hi,

I hope nobody minds me adding a new thread, but the other wouldn't let me reply.

LadyLush - Sorry to hear about your loss . In answer to your question, I thought I was around 11-12 weeks pg, but the scan said the baby was around 8-9 weeks. When I'd had the ERPC, the gynae reg said the uterus was around 14weeks and the baby was still 8-9 weeks.
I'm sure things do get better with time, but things are still pretty raw and new for me. I'm glad things are getting back to normal for you (and hopefully for others too).

Hello lovely ladies!
Just to let you know I am having a virtual cake-fest with you - in fact am baking it right now, my mother's Christmas cake recipe!
Sending you all lots of love and Zambian sunshine xx
(will next be in UK in Jan/Feb - here's hoping we can compare bumps by then )

kensgirl · 31/08/2007 12:30

Just to say have a geat time later today ladies! I'm very that I can't be there- hopefully you will all come and spill the beans though . So - whos going to eat my very large share of cake then?

I'm sitting here all on my lonesome, as dh is in Budapest, and I think I may be ov-ing, so hopefully there may be still some swimmers waiting to ambush - sory if tmi....
I think thats cause to sit and scoff a family sized festival gateaux by myself. In honour of the cake fest, of course.

Jules, I know what you mean about appreciating your dh more and feeling lucky. Hopefully that closeness will get the chemicals and hormones just so...

Hi to Ladylush, Torres, Wheely, Lissie et al. How are you all?

Popsy - if you are lurking, sorry to see you feel you need some time way, maybe it will be good to clear your head. I'll mis you though, don't stay away too long, and do make sure you come and tell us when you get that bfp! I have felt a bit similar, and made a decision to move forward taking some things with me, and leaving the others behind. I made this weird promise to myself while standing in th sea on hols with dh, that I was so lucky to have myhealth, family, dh, home, and future, that I was going to put all the negative thoughts and pain about my dads death, miscarriage an molar preg. in a wooden box, and leave it right there in the Carribean sea. I know where it is, put there is no need now for me to keep delving in. The good things and happy memories are all coming forward with me.

Hope this doesn't just make me sound wierd . It isn't something I have even told dh!

Special hello to anyone I havn't yet'chatted' with, a big hug if you are in need of one if you have just arrived and are feeling very raw xx

torres · 31/08/2007 13:20

Hi Kensgirl- good to hear from you- how was the hols- was the pg girlfriend bearable? I don't think your promise to yourself sounds weird at all. It sounds really positive, acknowledging what has happenned but stepping aside from using all your energy on focussing on your grief and pain. I really hope this is the start of something good for you. And I truly think you do deserve a whole gateaux!

Hi zammummy- very impressed by the home baking! As you say, I really hope 2008 is the year for us all.

herby- I'm sure we will all still be there at 7. I'll probably only have just decided which cakes I'm having by then!

Lissie- hi love! good to see you're around. Sorry you won't be at the cakefest, it would be good to meet you.

Ok all cake-festers I have to warn you- I have just tucked into my lunch without really thinking and have just realised I've eaten ALOT of garlic!!! I hope you'll still let me sit on the same table!

ladylush · 31/08/2007 13:56

Kensgirl you are truly lovely - you remind me of Mrs McJnr with your positive outlook and smiley faces Glad you had a good holiday and that it gave you a chance to sort out your emotions - the Caribbean is divine isn't it. My dh is Caribbean but ironically we haven't been to his country his parents are from, only to other islands. We will go one day for sure.

All cakefesters - have a lovely day. If you organise one later on in the year I will come too.

Lissie - how is ds?

torres · 31/08/2007 14:42

Hi ladylush- there's been talk of one nearer christmas so that would be great to meet you. Unless of course we end up hating each other this evening !!

ladylush · 31/08/2007 14:46

Cool count me in. Try to eat the cake rather than throw it I'm sure you will all get on just fine

torres · 31/08/2007 14:50

HaHa! I am actually getting that nervous/ excited feeling - it's like going on a blind date

ladylush · 31/08/2007 14:55

I have that feeling too because I am flying to Dublin tonight and I get nervous when flying. My grandparents are ill so I am going to see them - might be last chance.

sweetkitty · 31/08/2007 14:56

Have a good time cake festers I'm so I can't even bake a cake cos the oven is still broken but I did buy the DDs some fairy cakes today so might have one of them

kensgirl - that sounds a lovely way to think of things at the caribbean I've never made ot over to the caribbean would love to one day but it would be a bit difficult now with the DDs.

flosspot - hope you feel better soon migraines suck

lissie - hows your DS any more spots?

nh101 · 31/08/2007 15:51

KD73 - your friend sounds like an idiot. Surely she can see that losing a baby is something you can't just "get over because someone is hormonal" No wonder you are .

Take as much time as you need and if she is a good friend she will still be there for you when you feel up to being around her. If she isn't then she isn't worth it.

You'll be PG again soon so keep your chin up!

Hope you cake-festers hav ea good time - I'd be there, only I'm on Preston...

torres · 31/08/2007 16:50

Hi Nh! I completely agree with you- so sorry for you KD73, your friend is unreasonable. Nh- glad to see you positive, I hope the clomid hasn't made you crazy- must say you seem calm! It is a shame we are all scattered over the country but I will eat a cake for each of you!

sweetkitty- you would have amazing willpower if you didn't eat those fairycakes. I'm impressed you bought them and havent opened them yet- I always start munching goodies on the way back from the supemarket on the bus

torres · 31/08/2007 16:51

meant to say- ladylush- sorry to hear about your grandparents . I hope you get some strength from seeing them and spending some time with them

lissielou · 31/08/2007 19:14

Hope you are ok x

lissielou · 31/08/2007 20:05

sweetkitty · 31/08/2007 20:44

DDs in bed DP nowhere to be seen I have no chocolate no alcohol and no takeaway food in the house.

Anyone want to go get me some???

lissielou · 31/08/2007 21:07

would if i could!

winemakesmummyclever · 31/08/2007 21:09

Feeling a little better today, tho have been keeping myself very occupied. Still cannot believe that this time last week I was at a frend's wedding, talking about things to come. Makes me sad when I think like about it all like that.

Dh and I treated ourselves to take out, cake and lots of wine last night. Fully expected to feel like doom this morning, but was up well before ds, and got on with lots of housey jobs in peace. Has anyone else found themselves throwing themselves into housework/gardening etc? I find it quite cathartic at the mo - will probably wear off though.

Off to prep stuff I need for tomorrow morning. Dh is having ds for the morning while I go to the local history centre and poke through dusty old files etc.

Hope everyone is getting along ok.
