November 2007- going through, been through or ttc after mc, still positive and still eating cakes

[grinningbee]

Here we are then, if it worked!

A nice new shiney thread to fill up with gorgeous cakes.

I'll start with a gooey sticky pecan pie at got at the W.I market yesterday morning

kasha would love to know what you think of the book - just looked it up on amazon but would like to know if you think it is worth getting - once you have it of course.

Kashasarrasin {{{hugs}}} so sorry about your terrible day.

Loveverona hello again. Sorry it's not the best of threads to be running into each other. I'm doing extremely well. Bleeding for two weeks prior to the natural mc (09Nov) gave me time to mentally prepare, i guess. Physically I'm full speed ahead. I've not tested myself but I don't "feel" like I have any pregnancy hormone still flowing through me. Hang in there. Things will get better.

Getting ready for THANKSGIVING here. What a crazy holiday, no wonder my country has an obesity epidemic. I'm getting up early (late for you all) to start my turkey. I cheated and purchased my cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, banana bread, and pecan pie from a local catering service. The only other "cooked" item I'm worrying over is a pot of green beans. If I screw this meal up I should just be banned from the kitchen for life. It's just going to be the three of us so we'll be eating left-overs for a month.

Everyone have a peaceful weekend.

Twilight - Oh how I wish I were there. I make one hell of a pecan pie. My folks are all in Texas making pies and cornbread dressing too. I just just about smell it cooking. sigh..
Instead I went to A&E on this balmy Glasgow eve because lil ms knicker checker here found a brown spot and completely freaked out. My back started up again with shooting pains..but turns out it's unrelated to the preg. Anyway..very nice A&E doc sent me back to EPU on Friday afternoon just to be safe and have a looksie.

I'll be honest ladies..I give up. Whatever happens Friday, I will just deal with it then and there. I'm just about tired of this whole roller coaster and wish to God I could be content with my cats and my DH. I just keep thinking about a little hand holding mine..ugh I'm a mess going to bed.

are you still up?

KashaSarrasin - i am so sorry that you have experienced another mc - how devestating for you! I have that book and think its good - and based on scientific fact which some are not.

mcchesers - what an horrible time for you.I will be thinking of you x

Any news TJuice?

How are you doing Lissie

hello everyone else

KashaSarrasin and Loveverona - so sorry to hear about your mcs. Life just isn't fair.
I would also be interested in what you think about the Lesley Regan book - I read an interview with her in one of the papers the other week which was very interesting.
Mcchesers - hope you're feeling a bit better today and good luck for tomorrow.
Hope everybody else is OK.

kasha - i am so so sorry
i think its good to get the physical part over with. the emotional part is enough to deal with. will you have any tests this time? blood clotting test etc? please take care of you.

loveverona - so sorry to hear about your mc too. i know that its common and natural etc etc. but everytime i hear of someone else going through the aftermath, i get a real heart twang. i hope you are okay.

i am doing okay and had a good scan yesterday, thanks lcy. just didn't want to make anyone feel worse.
I am 8wks 5 days and was amazed at this little bobblehead thing that was really moving its nubby arms and legs around. my gynae seemed quite amazed too. so i was happy all evening and night but its still seems a stretch to the next scan in two weeks, then the 12-13 week scan after that. i wish i could just incubate myself somewhere.

i really hope that me lingering here isn't upsetting. i should make the jump to pg after mc but i am reluctant to leave my safety zone and i am very strongly an MC avenger!

Hey TJuice - read the thread title - this thread is for you too! Although you are pregnant again it doesnt stop you needing support for your mc in August or being able to give support to others.I find it reassuring to hear the positive stories too - gives me hope!

Congratulations on your scan sounds amazing.

Hello cricri - how are you doing?

Yes, TJuice please stay. You are an inspiration and your story is important to all of us. Congratulations on the active bean.

McChesers here's hoping your family has already started their feast prep. I JUST WOKE UP!! I guess we'll be eating turkey for dinner instead of lunch . My DH would love for you to join us and make your pecan pie...it's his favorite.

Massive headache here. I wonder if it's hormonal. Tomorrow will be two weeks post-mc. Although I've been feeling great I bet my "inner-workings" are just getting things sorted. I get to meet my new OB/GYN on Wednesday. I need to find a moment to start my list of questions for him. He's suppose to be amazing and really compassionate towards his patients. That might shock my system after having a cold, clinical doc for the past 20 years.

Happy Thanksgiving! Now off to the kitchen for the remainder of the day. (yeah, right ).

Just popping my head round the door to send my love to Lissie and Kasha....so wish I had the words....

Keeping everything crossed for everyone...I tend to lurk rather than post these days, but still clinging tothe most supportive group there is on MN...13 weeks and doing well, though still very anxious, but rubbing the bump for you all and sending you my love.

Hi Lcy - I meant to say hi the other day when you asked how I was. OK thanks, CD6 so not much going on at the moment (but I'm going to a wine-tasting on Saturday so that's worked out well - no need to worry about 2WW or anything like that). I've been listening to the Fertility mp3 tracks the past few evenings and it's getting me to relax if nothing else
TJuice Please stay. You give us hope and it's nice to hear about your pg.
Jules and Lissie - hope you're both OK. And everybody else too of course.

What is the fertility MP3?

Lcy - its by Tina Taylor - I downloaded onto my ipod from here www.justbewell.com/acatalog/fertility_therapy.html

Thanks everyone. i am having a totally grotty day and will now change out my pajamas into fresh pajamas to go to bed.

Tjuice - I'm pregnant and I'm still here, don't want to leave either especially with all this talk of thanksgiving food although most of the time I have no appetite.

mcchesers - how are you doing today? You sounded really down last night.

TS - enjoy thanksgiving x

Hey, I'm here SK. Happy to hear news of healthy scans. Yay Tjuice!

Last night sucked..I've got to go back
to EPU tomorrow afternoon. Still got a little bit of the brown stuff. Symptoms are all over the place and couldn't eat anything today and then lost the plot and ran over to Tesco and ate a sandwich. I've never been really that sick, just manageable nausea. DH has remained positive the whole time. He came home from work today with 6 yellow roses and two giant chocolate truffles. I love him, he's good people.

Spent most of the day on the couch in my pj's having a pitty party for one. Just thinking about missing thanksgiving and whatever might be going on in my uterus. Meh..feeling some better now and resigned just to let it be.

How's you?

Twilite - Any chance of gettin one of those pecan pies over here to Glasgow? Hope you are all enjoying turkey day.

ok, calmer today. phoned epu for results of blood tests and less than one, so definately a complete mc. dont know if im heartbroken or relieved. dh and i are much better now. talked a LOT today and we are waiting til we've been to LWH before ttc again. feel like my body's a ticking time bomb and with each setback the chances rise of something seriously going wrong!

mcchesers - will be thinking of you tomorrow, I always remember I had 2 massive red blood bleeds with DD1 at 9 and 10 weeks and she was fine, doesn't always mean a mc, got to still have hope (says me ardent knicker checker, I even scrutinise my CM to see if theres a felck of brown in it )

lissie - glad you are feeling a bit calmer, I am sure you and your DH will get through this, agree with getting some good proper medical advice before ttc again, don't be a stranger to us, thinking of you as ever xxx

Lissie, I am so sorry. I wish there was something I could say to make it all better. Please make sure you take some time for yourself and make sure you fight for some answers.

Justjules - good luck for tomorrow. I hope they can give you some good reassurances. Mmmmm niknaks - the spicy ones are my favourite!

Hello to everyone else and if you're new here, sorry you had to find us but you will find soooo much support on here it really is amazing. I think I would have gone insane if I hadn't found this outlet.

Day 44 post mc now and still no sodding AF. Got another bfn this morning (need to kick self for being so stupid as to test again!!!).

So now I'm having a nice glass of red wine

DH has had a bad headache for a few days now and has had a couple of funny turns. I must admit, and I can say it to you guys... I am absolutely petrified that his cancer is either on the increase again or has spread.

It's so scary. He has to have a blood test on Monday.... so I guess we'll find out some time after that.

Sorry to be all miserable.

Anyway!

On a happy note - happy thanksgiving to those who celebrate it!

Big hugs to you all,
Bee

Good lord that's a lot of work for one meal!! I am THANKFUL it is OVER. Plenty of left-overs so ladies feel free to raid my fridge. DH just found the pecan pie so it will probably be gone shortly, sorry McChesers (will be waiting for you to return from EPU with news).

Grinningbee best wishes with your DH's blood test on Monday. Hopefully it will prove he is fine.

Justjules looking forward to hearing good news about your consult tomorrow.

Lissie hang in there. {{{hugs}}}
