October 2007 ~All about us ~ MC'ing or MC'ed or TTC of BFP after MC or just loves cakes!

[katendmom]

As we agreed - starting a fresh thread before our original shuts down. Will post this new link into the old thread so everybody can find us!

In the meantime ~ sprinkling it with pink and blue baby pixie dust

and splashing with baby glue so lo's stick around forever ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sorry you didn't get the result you hoped for Herbaceous.
Ladylush - sorry you're feeling down too. And there are drawbacks to summer babies you know, anyway - you could be heavily pregnant and lumbering about sweating and puffing when it's hot, you might find those early days of motherhood chaotic and end up indoors a lot in your pjs most of the day, and miss the rest of the summer. So, if it doesn't happen straight away, it's not all bad. I thought April was a fab time to have a baby, but there you go.

Saw a pic of Kerry Katona in some magazine, smoking. I know people find smoking hard to give up, but it makes me angry when I see pg people smoking. Especially so when i'm not pg, cos I think I deserve to be more than them, if that's not a horrible thing to say????

Not sure if I won't follow Kate and Rosy. Finding it a bit sad hearing all these bfps (although v glad for everyone, can't help the Also, everyone so focused on building their family, and I seem to be heading for splitting up mine (if dp would actually accept I mean it, rather than saying it's best we're together. Yes for him, but not for me.

Sorry, got a bit carried away into rant mode. Will stop now... sending lots of positive vibes to all those little babies that are reading this thread with their mummies

SK - Congratulations. (been reading a couple of threads and your testing became like the next episode of a soap - couldn't wait to hear what happened) So glad it was good news.

ILTS - I know this is probably impossible but try not to worry too much as it won't help things. Know what you mean about pretending it is AF but think I agree with the others about getting it checked out.

Sorry to hear some people feeling down - lots to contend with for us all and those damn hormones don't help.

SpishSpolsh - Don't get me started on Kerry Katona - her pregnancy is/was the same time as mine IYSWIM and every time I venture out of the house I am met with a picture of her talking about it or smoking, taking drugs etc. She also seems to be one of these women who only has to smell a man to become pg.

Gosh think I had some unvented anger there. Poor woman - probabaly doesn't deserve it. (teeheelaydee takes deep breath and reaches for more tea and cake)

Finally - Ronshar - families hey - particularly those that our siblings choose to marry !!

Long post but you guys have been busy to lots to catch up on. Picked up new car today after last one written off - am now mobile and has taken my mind off mmc & all that stuff.

Hi everyone. Am so excited. Me and dh had a talk the other day and have decided to start ttc now as we cannot wait any longer. So i am now officially ttc just like all of you.

hi everyone hope you are having a good evening

not much to report today after the excitement of yesterday, still not sunk in think I will be knicker watching for about the next 18 weeks, I don't believe I am pregnant again either that I am in denial as a defence mechanism.

ladylush and herby - so so so sorry the EW made her appearance, onwards and upwards for an August baby

spilshspolsh - aww you sound so down, I know it's so hard when you are trying everything to get pregnant and someone else can look at a man and fall, smoke, drink take drugs throughout pregnancy and have a healthy baby, life sure isn't fair sometimes.

Happy Birthday Jules !
Your DH sounds wonderful - hope you have a lovely evening tonight and are able to forget about everything else for a few hours.
Have a great time xx

jules, happy birthday my love. tell dp to give you a hug from me x

jules - aww your DH sounds lovely pulling out all the stops for you, I hope you both have a lovely evening x

Happy Birthday Jules!
Your DH gets lots of brownie points for trying to make your day as good as it can be!

That sounds a lovely lovely birthday surprise Jules. What a lovely dp
Happy birthday - i hope you're having lovely Thai food right now!! yummy!

Happy birthday Jules!

What a fab DH you have .

I'm still 36 for 2 hours and a bit...

I have a question for all the wee stick experts (not looking at anyone in particular!!)

Can anyone who is a prolific user of the ebay cheapie tests (the sort from fertility friend) tell me if the pg test shows the absolute faintest, and I mean squint while holding at an angle, of lines even if it is negative? To put it another way, is it possible to see where the line should come up even if it doesn't?

Before anyone gets excited, I don't think I can be pg... to be gross, I passed the mc on the 11th Oct. There has been no AF yet although I have felt like it should be here for the last few days.

Ok, here's the thing. When I got pg before, my left (.) knew before I did. It had quite a sharp pain in one side for a few days to the point where I checked for a lump! Guess what I have noticed this evening. Yep, the return of the pain. Am I being daft? Cheapie ebay test to the normal eye shows nothing really, unless you really study it. I think I'm setting myself up for a disappointment here.

Someone slap some sense into me!!!!!!!!!! Please tell me I haven't become the latest member of the wee stick addicts!

Thanks Sweetkitty for your message earlier.

It's turning out to be quite a year!

We got flooded on the 30th December but lived in the house until the beginning of March. It was only when they took up the floorboards we realised the water level was literally just underneath... The house is unrecognisable now having been practically rebuilt. We've been living in a static caravan since (still in it tonight!).

While that was going on DH was diagnosed for the first time this year at the beginning of May with stomach cancer (he had it before I knew him 5 years ago too). All went ok treatment wise and then he got the all clear in August. I got pg after ttc since April and thought our luck had changed for the better... however it turns out that three days before I lost our bean DH found out the cancer was back but didn't want to worry me. Bless.

He's had more treatment today but has gone backwards slightly from last week. Chemo is on the cards if this doesn't work soon.

The poor fella is currently zonked out fast asleep, so even thinking about bd'ing is off until early next week when he starts to feel better again. Then it all starts again next Thursday!

Aaaaaarrrggghhh!!!

Sorry girls, I didn't mean to be depressing. It's been a weird day. I cried at market again today. Someone came to the back of our stall with a little one in a pushchair, and jokingly made to run off and leave me with it to mind, but he didn't know I had been pg and had an mc, so it wasn't his fault. I held it together until he left.

I'm not saying I have any more worries than anyone else. I just don't know which way to turn at the moment and feel like I'm in over my head with it all (does that make sense?)

Maybe moving back into the house over the next few days will clear my mind! (cue manic laughter! )

grinningbee - you poor thing what a year, keeping everything crossed for your DH too

on the ebay cheapies, I had a saga with mine, did a sneaky test Sunday pm (didn't tell a soul) and it was BFN totally thought ok not PG, Tuesday morning did another with first wee of morning and there was the faintest of faint lines, yes you had to squint really hard to see it, did another 3 that day all very very faint lines, did one with just water to compare and it was BFN surprisingly wanted to see if it was an evap line but it was TOTALLY blank. Did another one first wee of Wed morning, faint line but a wee bit darker still not convinced, CBD BFP. Mine were from fertility friend too.

My advice is tomorrow morning collect some of your wee and ask DH to do that same (crazy I know but my DP wasn't around so I had to make do with water) dip them both at the same time and compare. If there is ANYTHING on your stick where the test line should be it sounds good. My line was nowhere near pink it was so faint.

was it so faint you almost wondered if you were seeing things?

I will do what you said tomorrow. I'm really regretting the glass of wine I've had now!

Probably tmi here, but do you think blood affects the test? One of DH's side effects from his treatment is that he is weeing blood... maybe I should test with water instead!

Do you think it's really possible to have happened so quickly after the mc?

It's too much to hope for, but blimey it would be the bestest birthday pressie I could have.

grinningbee - I hope you are back with your results soon no blood shouldn't affect the test but if you want use water instead that's what I did, there was a definite difference between the water one and the pee one.

I haven't done the water vs wee test yet... but I did do another test at 6.30 this morning and although still incredibly faint, I didn't have to squint quite so hard.

I can't be...

I mentioned it to DH just now who immediately got a worried look on his face and threatened to get the roll of bubble wrap out! I told him I can't say whether it's positive or not.

Left (.) is still very sore and I feel a bit queasy, but that could be 'cos I'm sodding well older today!

I shall do the water test a bit later!

Can you ov just after the bleeding from mc stops? Mine stopped on Oct 19th, and then I got the all clear scan on the 22nd. There was bd'ing on the 22nd and 23rd so this has got to be far to early to be weeing on sticks, surely....

I really don't know grinningbee re your dates but you seem to be in the same place I was on Tuesday, now if it were me I would go get a CBD and put yourself out your misery one way or the other. I refused to get one until the day AF was due but then I knew when AF was due you don't.

I worked out I must have ov before the bleeding stopped when I had my mc as well as I had AF 3 1/2 weeks after the worst bleeding, I am keeping everything crossed for you today x

Happy Birthday jules and grinningbee.

Grinningbee - I agree with sk - do the test - at least you will know then and can decide how to celebrate your birthday. Update us soon though won't you.
