Ok, girls, our last thread did get crazy long so I am starting this one. If you don't like the name - well... too bad You'll get used to it over time .

ILTC, hi there sista! I feel like we're SO alike. Can you believe that my bleeding started again today? I was quite . And out of all places it started in a zoo when we were watching little sheep at the "petting zoo" section with DS and DH. Grrreat!~ Hope you're feeling better and this mess if over soon for all of us .

Rosybelle, hi there~ [sends a wave] Com'on over - sorry you're here but it's easier to get through things together. If you read my previous posts you know what I have to say - ERPC (or D&C) all the way. Good luck!

Scully, hi... you sound like me... actually my DH who is very much doubting TCC'ing again. And that's just after one MC! Well... we did have a stillborn DD1 but went on to have a beautiful DS. What would have happened if we got scared back then and didn't do it. Ooops, promised not to talk about it until mid-Oct. That's when my MC blood/ tissue results are back from the lab to tell us what was wrong with the baby. We agreed we wouldn't make any decisions until we find out.

Cricri, I know you won't be chechking this thread until later but hope your weekend in Holland is fab!

Hugs and smooches to all!

Oh Ilts - Chester is gorgeous!! Still like the name Pumpkin though... maybe we could call the puppy it... although DD wants Sparkle & DH says "over my dead body" - LOL

He is cute - have you really got 13 cats?? I am allergic to cats - sorry - and am not keen as they seem to sense it and jump on my lap... by the time I leave someones house who has a cat I am streaming, blood shot eyes, blocked nose etc...

ClairePO · 29/09/2007 20:01

Adorable, I just looked at the pics and squeaked aww and DP said 'you're not having another one' Just brewed them up some catnip tea from Whittards so my lot are going loopy.

Do you do rescue ILTS? 13!!!

iliketosleep · 29/09/2007 20:03

3 lots of kittens but only left with 2 females now and are going to be neutered VERY soon lol

iliketosleep · 29/09/2007 20:03

oh yeah and.........catnip tea??

RosyBelle · 29/09/2007 20:08

Claire is that for you or the cats?? Catnip tea? If its for the cats then wittards is not a cheap treat!!

ClairePO · 29/09/2007 20:17

Yeah for the cats, although it does say breathing the fumes cured infertility in women, but also says other things that makes me want to stay clear of drinking. Not gonna post what after what everyone on this thread has been through.

Rosy it was from the one in the Hatfield Galleria outlet place so affordable, plus they just like to play with the teabags as toys, they're in the shape of micies!

RosyBelle · 29/09/2007 20:27

Aaaahhh in the shape of mices - cute!! We have one of those whittard outlets thinking about it - in Ashford, Kent. Lots of xmas presents get bought from there!

They do nice cat & dog food & drink bowls too.
The things we talk about on a sat night eh? Last of the late night ravers we are..

splishsplosh · 29/09/2007 20:33

Just looked at Chester, ILTS, - he is so cute. Sadly I'm allergic to cats like Rosy, I used to have 2 border collies, now looking after my mum's old terrier. She's so awkward though - doesn't listen to a word I say, and just lurks about trying to steal any food within reach

ClairePO · 29/09/2007 20:57

We know how to live Rosy

Selective deafness Splishsplosh, its common in aged dogs, aged cats and DP's/DH's

iliketosleep · 29/09/2007 21:01

lol claire, its sooooo true!!

sweetkitty · 29/09/2007 21:03

Just looked at your pics ILTS aww so so cute, Chester is a fab name I also thought of Chesney the wee ginger boy off Corrie. One of my cats is a walking disaster area he gets bladders stones and has 2 life saving ops he must have cost us over £2000 in vet bills. He lost so much weight at the start of the year the vet said another week and he wouldn't have been able to walk, he had an op and he's now huge again so much so that our neighbour thought he was pregnant! The cats and DDs are funny, if DDs are downstairs cats are up and vice versa although one is quite good with them. Minute DDs are in bed cats descend on us.

kat - it's so annoying isn't it this waiting game, you just want AF or better still a BFP to know where you are.

kasha - hiya glad you found us again

I caved in and have bought a CBD don't know whether to test tomorrow or not will be CD24 10dpo, have had positives in the past at this stage but am scared it's BFN oh don't know what to do.................. either I'm pregnant or not better to know

sweetkitty · 29/09/2007 21:04

Claire - you forgot selective deafness in children, I find cats will acknowledge you but still won't do what you want them to, it's as if they say "you want a pet to train get a dog" I love the aloofness of cats.

goingfor3 · 29/09/2007 21:52

Hello everyone,

Sweetkitty - fingers crossed you get a positive tommorow, I believe in early testing because I'm so impatient!

I am having a fair amount of cramping but I had it last time I was pregnant so I'm not going to worry, I keep telling myeslf it's stretching pain and it will be fine. Thrush has come back too but I used a pessary as soon as I noticed rather than leaving it for two weeks like last time and it already seems better.

sweetkitty · 29/09/2007 21:58

when did you test this time G43?

goingfor3 · 29/09/2007 22:01

10 days dpo which was day 23, it wasn't a first morning pee either! I tested with a first response and a boots own brand.

sweetkitty · 29/09/2007 22:02

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who tests really early.

That does not cound crazy to me jules at all, with DD1 I said the day after BDing I think we made a baby last night. I also had a dream 3 days before AF was due that I saw 2 lines on a pregnancy test and another one I was holding a baby girl. I knew before the two lines came up that they would be there.

DD2 was the same I had 3 BFNs on ebay cheapies but was like no I'm pregnant so got a CBD and I was

With the one I just lost I was in Asda and saw a magazine saying "your pregnant" and thought yes I am, I knew it was a boy as well.

So you are not the only crazy one a lot of women "know" straight away, 14 BFNs though you poor thing!

How are you doing now? I often think about you and how you are doing?

ladylush · 29/09/2007 22:28

Another cat person here. SW is your cat on a c/d diet? Had to put mine on it when she developed recurrent cystitis where she passed crystals (ouch) and blood. She's on normal Hills Science diet now though.

Kittens are the most gorgeous things but my cat would never forgive me if I so much as thought about getting one. She insists that we are a one cat family - unfortunately.

ladylush · 29/09/2007 22:30

Are you testing tomorrow SK?

ladylush · 29/09/2007 22:31

Doh - 2 posts down is meant to be SK not SW.

He was on it ladylush but in the end we took him off as it was so difficult to try and get him to only eat the c/d food and not the others food and the others would pinch his as well. The other option was to put the 3 of them on it but the tins cost over £1 each and they would have had to have 3 each a day which is almost £300 a month on cat food couldn't afford it and the separate food thing was terrible as I had 2 under 2 and I had to remove the bowls and they would all howl and mooch about for food constantly. So in the end with the vet we decided against it so he just gets a Cystaid tablet a day now.

jules - thats so sad but at least you can have a little service for your boy and as you say move forward without ever forgetting though, I am glad you have an appt at the mc clinic don't let them fob you off I've found with teh NHS you have to stnad up for yourself and push push push them to get answers for you which I so hope they do. I know one day you WILL be such a fantastic mum and your warmth and compassion shines out from your posts. The mc and baby garden are a fantastic idea and you will help so many others through difficult times.
