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

The more the merrier. It is only restricted by alcohol intake. Good to hear from you Gilly. I am also worried about Torres. It is very unlike her not to be around somewhere. Do you think the Slap-Cheek got her??

Sorry Popsy I didnt mean to offend. As a fellow Boarder I understand the insult. I shall have to add you to my Snowboader Army on face book.

Hi ALBS Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay so pleased for you - right just sit back and relax and wait for miniALBS to arrive - are you still working nights? Wish I could take some of your stress off you

i only work one evening, so my work is not stressful at all.
is just dh's job is really getting him down. down down down.

Yipeeeeeee ALBS can we now say you are pregnant and do a little dance. Does the 6+4 go with your dates?

ALBS - that is lovely

all this talk of champers and choc is making me feel decadent.

after the dreaded final scan on monday I got some 2 spicy chocolate bars they are all gone now although dh helped

i was there at beginning of this year ALBS -mae PG really stressful cos I was stressing about being PG, about my job and about his as he thought his company might go under...now i never ever would wish what has happened on myself and would give anything to turn clock back but a tiny teeny part of me thinks that I am actually better off now than i would have been with a 3 month old baby - new job, more money, less stress, DH business working well ...okay grasping at straws but ronny has got me thining super positive!When DH was really bad about his job I just had to tell him t stop sharing it wioth me cos my main priority was being PG...didn'thelpof course cos I MC'd anyway but maybe you should talk to him?

that is lovely Jules

SK and mrsW hope you ok

yay Jules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I am soooooooooooooooo ill (said very slowly cos anything, makes me feel yuk). bleurgh.

Jules - with all this telepathic Jules-love going on your beanie is in good hands! Here's to spending the next 7 months working on being as sloth-like as possible!

Go jules and mini-jules! Great news!

Thats great news Jules. I forbid you to do anything other than eat B&Js. But be careful as too much and you will end up with gestational diabeties.
Although you only get that when you are very pregnant so that is something to aim for
(Not that that is a joking matter of course)

fab news Jules & Albs

Great news ALBS and Jules. Hang on in there.

Gilly - DH too promised to do his sample last night (the one he was supposed to do before we went on hols in Aug !). I think he knew to promise this before I brought it up whilst sobbing about CD1.

I hope you're right about Basil - I thought she'd decided not to ttc for a while after a second m/c but I may have missed the last bit. Basil, if you're out there come and update us.

I too hope Torres is ok.

Look forward to a meet up of fellow failures ().

Not failures - survivors!!!!

sorry

bring on Gloria Gaynor... all together now ladies..."First I was afraid, I was petrified....la la la la la

Hey ladies check out the new festive name ...all the others I could think of were rude or food-based (or a bit of both )

p.s. is popsy here in case you didn't get it - abit far fetched I know but some of us aren't blessed with festive sounding nicknames

jules - great news what a little battler you have in there

ALBS - good news for you too

right me update - had a bit of brown gunk when I wiped this morning so phone EPAS at 9am. Got passed up to the maternity word and then passed over to someone else so had to tell my story 3 times. Anyway was told EPAS is booked solid so no scan appointments and that if it was old brown blood then it was probably OK and I would be having a scan in 2 weeks anyway. Was told to phone again if the bleeding went red and I started cramping.

Had to see my GP today anyway to tell him I was pregnant and to get booked in with the MWs. GP was lovely tried to be reassuring, even got his uterus and placenta pics out to tell me about the placenta sometimes lifts at this stage causing bleeding and that brown blood is old blood. Also told him that last time I only had brown blood yet I went on to mc so I don't believe the brown blood is OK thing. Anyway he told me not to worry and to go and enjoy Christmas! Receptionist that took my details said I wouldn't see a MW until 16 weeks but I don't think this is right as last time I was booked in to see a MW at 12 weeks.

So thats where I am at, sent home to worry and not to phone unless I start bleeding heavy or in pain.

Part of me is seriously thinking about faking some symptoms next week so I can have a scan but I think that would be tempting fate too much. DP says I have to put it to the back of my mind and try not to think about it.

Fantastic news ALBS and Jules!!! SK that's awful that they won't scan you . Is there any chance of you being able to get a private scan? The one I was booked for (but never got to go to in the end) was £70, so OK not cheap but maybe worth it rather than just stuck at home worrying?

Good afternoon to everyone else! I'm very excited as a friend is babysitting DS tonight so that me and DH can go to the cinema and then for a drink afterwards - oh the novelty!

Yay ALBS and jules !!!! !!
But SK although glad GP was nice at least... My private scan was £50, there seem to be more and more places aroud who do them. A list of places in each county who are recommended by the Fetal Medicine Foundation is available on this page Good luck!
