[aquababe]

Hope the titles ok

OK so I have a reasonably positive start to the new thread.
What I thought to be AF turned out to be a bad case of theruns
And so when I poas'ed last night I actually got a BFP

Very nervous about it, but happy too. I actually went to the place(shopping centre) I got the positive with my dd for good luck
My dh thinks I'm mad but hey don't they all
now if I can just get past the nine week stage without going insane

ALBS glad your finally able to admit your pregnant

Lissie glad your getting that referal at last
ilts sorry it didn't happen this time

that sounds not v nice Jules. Has someone said that or are you being dr Jules ??

Jules - send your dp round to cook for me. I had to do sandwiches for me and dd for dinner cos i couldn't face cooking food that might smell. ugh.

Hi ladies, just wanted to let you know that scan was fine. Looked like a little peanut and it had a heartbeat. So relieved. Now just have to worry and wait for scan at eleven weeks x

ooh ALBS get you all preggars and nautious yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Jules if anyone deserves this you do - the sheer will of all of us mad as snake MNutters rooting for you is enough to short circuit the laptop I am sending strong sticky vibes
hope you don't have a subchorionic abruption but you are right could explain the bleeding - cue pops hunting down more info online when she tells her students is not a sound source of info

Off to look up Clomid obsessively online ...permission to daydream about big tummies, gone off meat sickness and bouncing boobs (mine stayed for a few months but are smaller than ever now )

God can't believe that was ever me - so bizaRRE! OOPS CAPS LOCK NOT SHOUTING SORRY

fab news lovelylou xxxx

If anyone cando it Jules you can
big hugs brave lady xxxx

so much to catch up on, i feel like I need to sit here with pen and paper, making notes on all the things I want to say to you all as I read through, but I'm not that organised? Mad? and my memory is awful these days.

Aqua - I'm so sorry for what you're going through again, it's so unfair

Jules - wow, this must be so stressful and worrying for you having all this bleeding. I really hope everything settles down soon, and your lo flourishes

TS - congratulations!

Ellie - great to hear that your baby is well and active and interacting, it must be so exciting for you

Lcy - so glad to hear things seem to be ok, and also nice to hear of someone getting good support from their gp

HTGG - I'm in Croydon. I went to Sutton High as my sister was at Nonsuch at the time, and I travelled with her. Odd logic, but there you go!

I only had the 1 insensitive comment (I'm not counting the dozens from dp, as I've given up expecting better!)
His mum said next time we shouldn't tell her so early, so she wouldn't get upset if anything went wrong again!

I still haven't gone back to the gym, and I don't think marching around pushing a buggy is enough to counteract the appalling amount of food I keep scoffing.... mmm, that reminds me of the tempting treacle tart languishing in my fridge, needing eating up. It would be awful to have to throw it out as past it's eat by date....

Fck jules* am now totally obsessed with eMedicine - am staying up cos DH out gtting ratted and my turn to pick him up - by the time he calls I'm gonna have no end of medical issues (starting with snake headitis and RSI :-))

splishstr you reminded e of my MILs corker... "I know this sounds funny but I think your dad and I have got PND" ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

Add to that soon to be clomid-induced...

After Image, Blurred Vision, Depression, Diplopia, Dizziness, Drug-Induced Hepatitis, Fatigue, Gynecomastia, Insomnia, Jaundice, Mastalgia, Menorrhagia, Metrorrhagia, Nausea, Nervousness, Photophobia, Scotomata, Thromboembolic Disorder, Vomiting....

I'd be worried if only I knew what they meant....

hey people
feel strange like it's still not real.
got a scan booked for tomorrow going to go so I can get checked out.
thanks to everyone whose thinking about me. it does help to know you guys are all here for support.

jules wow that doesn't sound great bed rest for nearly nine months, still if thats what it takes.
If it is this subchorionic hemorrhages then hopefully it re-absorbs soon

lovelylou congratulations on scan

twilight congratulations on bfp

Thanks for all the congrats. I'm holding tight to them. This thread has been a lifeline for me this month. TWENTY-EIGHT days ago I MCed. Now here I go again, with a different outcome I hope. Had bloodwork moments ago for HCG and Progesterone levels. The results will be in Monday. Until then I'll just try and relax.

So many posts to read spilshspolsh I was just catching up and thinking "blast I need pen and paper" when I read your post- I also am not that organised so will probabaly forget something big.

TS I had a feeling you would get a BFP.

jules You seem a bit more positve this evening. I was just thinking of asking what wonderful concoction your DP had made you and you provide the info - I swear there are strange brainwaves online tonight.
lcy You also sound loads better today, sounds like you were pleasantly suprised by the care you got today - make sure you demand it from now on (teehee becomes all big pants mc avenger like for a moment.)
popsy What is ANTM ?
kate Your latest winner in the insensitive comment Oscars did make me smile but only after I had done this several times.

Like I said lots to catch up on - we are an animated bunch tonight.
Hello to everyone else.

aqua will be thinking of you tomorrow.

Congratulations Twilight, that is wonderful news

Never a dull moment around here is there.

CONGRATS TS

Back briefly to let you know that I asked for a thyroid function test a few weeks ago and found out I have high TSH levels (thyroid stimulating hormone) which carries greater risk of miscarriage and problems with conception. I started Thyroxine today and am hoping the levels will come down to an acceptable level very soon. Hopefully some light at the end of a long tunnel

Jules - hope all going well for you and beanie

Oh sugar, sorry Jules - just scrolled down and saw you have been having bleeding. Good to hear it does not = bad news though. Make sure you get lots of R&R xx

hi ladies

hope you are all doing well.

I have my appraisal today but have been so knackered that i haven't prepared yet. will do so now.

i am looking forward to a full weekend in bed - seriously that is all i am doing. maybe some xmas shopping . . .online

ladylush - a couple of my friends have thyroid problems (both from brussels - which is weird). acupuncture (in addition to conventional medicine) is very helpful in controlling and regulating hormone issues included thyroid.

also - ladies waiting for af after mc - i would totally recommend it. i know its a bit spenny but i started a few days after my mc and i think it helped get me back in balance quickly. now i have it once a week for morning sickness, to prevent bleeding and for relaxation and next year, i will continue every two or three weeks.

have a great friday everyone!

oh by the way, we have to make a wishlist for three things under £50 for our work xmas pressie (we only get one of the three). I can't think what to get . . . any suggestions?

I have put down a really nice cookbook and some earrings but honestly i don't need either and i can't think of a third.

i mean, i need a new bike and some Tretorn wellingtons but stuff under £50 is kind of luxuries that you may treat yourself to anyway.

when you don't know what you want for xmas - i guess you should donate that money to someone who needs it more . . . .

i would donate it to mc avengers or another miscarriage association but i an paranoid that my (totally male-oriented) work would get ansty . . .

GOOD LUCK TJUICE *

Tjuice - will think about the acupuncture. Did you see someone who specialised in reproductive acupuncture? Re gifts - what about Oxfam Unwrapped? We got this gift from in laws last year and were chuffed with it.

Ladylush, I too have a good friend with the thyroid issue. She had a DS then she had one miscarriage which may/maynot have had anything to do with it. Afterwards she immediately went on to have DD. All are well.

EPT line much bolder today ladies. So I'm confident it's a viable pregnancy. BDed 17 days after actual miscarriage. Can you believe my body was ready to produce and egg that fast? I didn't even feel the OV and I always feel OV.

Good luck today aqua, at the very least I hope they're nice to you Will be thinking of you

good morning all

will take some time to read the thread since last post, now feeling a bit rough with sore throat and longing for bed, alas this is the first day without rain and I could do with going for a walk with dd, she wants to go puddle jumping.

was looking to book a summer festival last night and dh said, 'oh by then you will be very pregnant' bless his optimism
