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

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

ronshar I'm so sorry

TJuice congratulations on your engagement! That?s awesome! Now, shouldn?t you be posting the pictures of your ring?! ( you did say ?yes? right? ) I have to say ? I was reading your post and then looked down on my keyboard ? and it was all full of drool! Wow! You ate some seriously great stuff! I am SO

Katie3677 I?m sorry that you had to join but you?ll love our company. This is a great thread! We laugh, we cry, we learn about confectionaries around the world (like TJuice was our agent to Paris). Welcome~

Everyone ? now we?ll have to remember that there is Katend and there is Katie

ronshar? girl? you?re going through so much? You?re right ? you have the right to know! Get the scan? {{{{HUGS TO YOU}}}}

Poor ronshar. It's simply the worst feeling. But at least you know you can survive, and life does get better.

On a slightly more TTC note, what's the general consensus about alcohol? Lots of people on MN seem to give it up while TTC, but I'm sure I've read (maybe just in my dreams) that a bit of booze can in fact help conception, possibly because you're more relaxed. I'm loathe to give it up, as it makes TTC even more of a big deal, IYKWIM, and that normal life has to stop for an indefinite period. Is the stopping booze to improve egg quality? Or what?

i give up in the last week of my cycle, just in case. having said that, the day before i got my bfp with ds i went to a vvvv wild party and got trollied.

ronshar - ((hugs)) for you I would be tempted to tell them a white lie that you don't know how far along that you MAY have had a period on X or X make up some dates, when I had my last scan they kept asking me if my dates could be wrong as if they didn't believe me.

katie3677 - hello and welcome to our thread sorry AF turned up but at least now you are back in a cycle so to speak

herb - I give up alcohol when ttc but it's no big deal for me as I'm practically teetotal now anyway. If I were to go out somewhere I probably would have a drink or two.

cant believe i let this thread drop out of my active convos!! shame on me

nothing to report here, 5 weeks tomorrow since m/c and still no af. A few twinges in my back and a bit of constipation TMI!! but apart from that nowt.

Dont think it is going to be this month though

Sorry, hi to you all and i hope your well. I havent read through yet as im toooo tired, was up all night as the tiny kittens are poorly and one died 2 days ago so im trying to take over mums position and hand feed them, but theres 7 and i only have 2 hands they are geting alot better though!!

Hey when I fell pregnant with both my DDs I was totally drunk. It seems that the newer sober me is the one who has trouble keeping the babies! Work that out.

I did a boots wee stick, in boots loo, on way to doctors. Hows that for glamour Lissie!

I have also been to get bloods done. Another appointment made for Wednesday.

ronshar - sorry they're being so rubbish, what a horrid situation to be in. Am thinking of you x

done that ronshar (well, actually in asda toilets, then sobbed for 15 mins when it was a bfn)

Lie through your teeth Ronshar, they don't know that its next week you're six weeks do they? Hope you get a scan before you go away.

I weed on a Boots stick in the public loos at Canary Wharf to find out I was pg. Seems so long ago now

Ronshar (btw what's the origin of your chatname??) poor you. bloody epus. when i went to a and e on my gps referral when i had my last m/c, when i stupidly did a mega wee before they saw me, thus produced a trickle which came up negative when they requested a sample to test, they refused to see me without a positive. they told me I must have got it wrong. like I was a silly little girl .Then when i told then i'd taken 2 hpts they said "your baby must have died then" nice!!!
They told me to ask my gp to send me for bloods, but tbh i ran out of energy and never went to collect the form for bloods let alone get it done. oops. Until next af came i was panicking that maybe i'd have an infection or something, so if it happens to me again (please god not though) i would deffo get the bloods done.

I'm seeing my gp on thurs about my recurrent ear infections. She was talking about putting me on a course of anti histamines and anti biotics (8 weeks i think )this time (last time i saw her - 2 weeks ago - i had drops to clear up the current infection so she wanted to wait for that to clear up and review me in 2 weeks). Am not sure what to do. 8 weeks is a long course, esp if they are not pg safe. Af is due in 10 days, so who knows, i could be pg now, and if not, i really don't want to stop ttc for 2 months. I'm so desperate for a baby i'd rather get more ear infections than hold off ttc. Not sure how to phrase it to her.

and re alcohol - i'm not a big drinker cos i get drunk rather too easily, as thos eon tme original march thread might remember from my story about a hen night, but i totally hold off in the 2ww......
Then after af i get an urge to open a bottle of wine just cos i can . Normally rose (yum).......

Having a bit of a bad day today. Just had a phone call from my SIL (I am on holiday in France at the moment - great cakes!) to tell me that she is...PG. She's only six weeks and has already told the world! Anyway, very pleased for her but slightly resented the comment 'You better hurry up and get Pg again so that we have kids the same age', a little insensitive considering the recent mc.

Starlight that is awful where are you?

Katie that is just so insensitive

starting to feel a little invisible

Who said that?

Sorry, I haven't had time to catch up properly, the cat won't let me, how are you?

Katie I am so for you. Of course we don't know what your relationship is with your SIL but judging by her comment of "...get pg again" she's aware that you had a mc? And still said that? Did you set her straight? Cuz if you didn't - I think you should. We collectively can come up with a comment or 2 for her, can't we girls?

Starlight... I am sitting here with my mouth wide open... what you've gone through almost sounds unreal... certainly not for the 21st century! So I guess this story on CNN today is true? link

ILTS - sorry you feel invisible that must be tough hard rearing kittens I hope you are getting some help with the night feeds! Have you done a test recently you never know?

ronshar - thinking of you x

ALBS - can understand your frustrations, I would just be completely honest with your GP she cannot stop you getting pregnant

starlight - am so for you I hope you have put your complaint in writing thats terrible the way you were treated. I'm really anti hospital now and would only go in if I really had to, I had a less than pleasant time having DD1 in London, was really lucky to have a homebirth with DD2.

katie - thats so insensitive she could have told you shes pregnant without that comment. When I announced I was pregnant with number 3 I didn't get many congratulations mostly "oh a mistake" or "are you happy about it" WTF??!! so when I lost him (and I know it was a him) I didn't get that much sympathy as I already have 2 so why did I want another one? My Mum told me "maybe it's for the best 3 children would be expensive" people are idiots sometimes

ILTS - you feel invisible on here? or rL???

Spooky that is awful. What is wrong with people???
