new thread...again!!

TJ, I think it was all that vintage shopping that did it .

I'm not going to be around for a few days as I'll be in Glasgow with work. Really bad timing as I have real mixed emotions about it - 3 mths in and the job is not what I imagined, things have changed and now I will not be doing the big funding bid I was hired to do. The trip to Glasgow seems utterly pointless too. Feel very disappointed. Also today is a year since my mc and I'm not going to be with DH. And to top it all off my BF had her baby this morning - Jack 8lb born at 6:39am. I am so pleased for her but at the same time I don't want his bday to be a reminder of my mc date. I was also feeling very selfish yesterday when I found out her contractions had started as I sobbed because it wasn?t me . This TTC thing really drives me insane, I?m feeling better about it today though . How's this for clusters MT? I'll be glad when October is over.

TJuice- fantastic news- big congrats. I did at least 12 tests! See you over at Due in Juune...

sprinkling liberal amounts of babydust round the room....

Congrats TJ!!

Sorry to hear you are down Gilly

(((((gilly))))))

Hello nomore!

Sorry nomore I'm just feeling a bit down this month..

I'm starting to worry that I'm not capable of getting pregnant.. Since I've never been pregnant before.. I know it's irrational..

Oh Gilly - I am so sorry, chick. What a hard time you are having at the moment and today obviously is a hard day for you ((((big hugs)))).
Oh talk about mixed emotions, you are pleased for your friend of course, but the knowledge that little Jack's birthday will always hold sad memories for you is a tough thing to have to work through. If you ever need to talk to someone, feel free to email me, Nomore has my email address, and I would be happy for her to pass it on, if you'd like. I am also sorry to hear that the job is not what you thought it would be Oh, I am feeling really low today, and I could quite easily cry for all of us going through such sad times. Hang in there as best you can. Thinking of you. x

Congratulations TJuice You are bound to feel nervous and worried, but do try to enjoy the early stages as much as you can All the best

Toomuch - Honesytly, it is like you are reading my mind. I have been thinking today if I am even capable of conception. Just because the eggs are there doesn't mean they know where to go. Yep, irrational thoughts is where I am at right now. So I sympathise. Big hugs.

Sorry to hear that you have miscarried MT

Nomore - What book are you reading

Hello to everyone I have missed I better go and look at the links of the dream shopping I have missed out on

(((hugs))) to lots of people it seems. Sorry people are feeling down.

Ready, I know exactly what you mean. Have been there. Don't give up. I didn't - I know I had a bit of a set-back - don't let it get you down too - I didn't give up and look at me - fantastic son who, certainly at early low points I didn't expect to get. It took 6 years, but he was worth waiting for.

Friends of mine tried IVF but gave up part way through the 1st cycle - she found it too hard. But she has a lovely son now - she adopted him - expected to have to wait quite a long time after getting accepted, but were rung up within 2 weeks for an 8 month old. We had decided to go down this route if mp reoccured - just as we know now that if it reoccured, we would not try again (hoping this is not the case this time though, really don't want to go through that again)

(((lots of hugs)))

How about some shopping to lighten the mood?

Gilly - I know that its a bad date - but you have to turn it around - its now Jack's birthday - something to look forward to. What are you going to get him?

I got this for niece - and was looking out for it when I was pregnant, but couldn't find it, then was very pleased when sil returned it as no longer required (ds still likes it)

I love the jellycat range!

toomuch and ready I know how you feel - ttc is bloody hard work
Hi floss how are you? how many weeks are you now?

I love this hat - might have to have a go at something like this for ds. Or possibly me!

I'm scared! Its soooooo quiet on here today!!!!!

I'm just keeping my head down MT as feeling a bit low..

Toomuch - it does get you down, I know. We waited 4 yrs (and got to the top of the NHS IVF list) when I found out that was pregnant - then had mc at 10wks followed by mp... 2yrs on, beautiful ds (having got to the top of the NHS IVF list again) - so it can work, even for those of us who thought that we needed help... Just think how you'll treasure dc when eventually it arrives (and ask why it kept you waiting all that time)

How long is it for you now? I've lost track

((((hugs))))

It's only 5 cycles (6 months) - so not that long compared to others and if it was just a case of waiting I wouldn't be so upset but because I've never been pregnant before I don't know if I'm capable of it and I'm starting to worry that I may never get pregnant.. I know I'm being irrational - and I apologise to everyone going through much worse (which is part of the reason I've been keeping my head down) - I just feel a bit at the moment ..

toomuch ther are times when it seems it'll never happen, don't worry we've all felt like that. Can you go to your doctor to just talk about ttc? They may start tests sooner than 1yr if you're lucky, or if not at least you'll be on their 'books'? My GP would have started tests at 9 months as both DH and I are young(ish) and otherwise healthy. Could be worth a try? hugs xx

Don't let it get you down - and try not to let it rule your life and colour every minute of the day (you see, you're not alone - I've been there toooooo) - going to GP earlier rather than later can't hurt - you never know. But sometimes it happens just when you've given up all hope of it happening - see me x 2 - was resigned to IVF when became pregnant naturually twice.

I don't know whether accupuncture helps, but it certainly relaxes me - so might be worth trying out even if only from that point of view - and if it helps, you never know...

Thanks guys.. guess I'm just feeling sorry for myself

It happens. Can you do something nice or naughty that will cheer you up?

Hi Guys

Hope you are all well. I have not been on here for ages. Had a few personal problems lately but its all sorted now but it has taken up all of my time

Really hope everyone is ok, great to see you lot are all still cyber shopping for baby things.

BB - glad all things OK, have missed you! Glad things going OK. How are preparations for the ball going?
