Hey ladies I have been brave and started new thread.
Aquababe will not have to look at her thread opener again.

Still here, just very busy with work at the moment. Nothing to report either - CD32 and desperately trying not to get my hopes up because I know I'll be so disappointed if and when AF eventually puts in an appearance. Will test on Friday if she hasn't arrived by then and try not to moan too much if she does arrive before then. I'm also trying to ignore any possible symptoms too... I hate this bit!
Hope everybody else is OK - I saw on the waiting room thread that you're having a horrid day again Mollie. Sometimes it feels as though we'll never get there, but we will, even if it is one step forwards two steps back at times. (((hugs))) to you and lots of cakes too!

cece · 26/02/2008 14:01

Having a bad day. Been to the doc about the scan I had. As I have had the pains again this month she has referred me to the hosptial for more tests. Until they know what is causing it then I am not ttc as she said it might risk another mc.

The appt isn't until April though.

What a nice birthday present eh?!

MollieMooma · 26/02/2008 14:16

CriCri - I'm sprinkling baby dust over you hope you can feel it?!? Really annoyed with myelf for having another bad day, I'm just worried that people at work will think I'm some kind of drama queen or borderline psycho although it's nearly 2 wks since my last blip, oh well there's nothing I can do about it they will have to like it or lump it!
Thanks for the cake and hugs, much appreciated x

MollieMooma · 26/02/2008 14:19

Oh CeCe I'm so sorry to hear that, more bloody waiting!! At least the GP is doing something about it, the quicker they can sort it out the better. You must be so frustrated hun, is it today your birthday? If so go out and drink, eat and be merry.

cece · 26/02/2008 14:23

It is my birthday 41 today

DH is away on a course so no chance of getting out or even having nice evening in. Plus I should be 30 weeks pg but I am not.

Can you tell I am feeling sorry for myself... still at least I have cake for later

mistlethrush · 26/02/2008 14:27

Cece - in same boat re April appointment - follow up appointment for recurrent mc to find out results of test (ie whether there is any explanation as to why problems). However, next week is March, so its not too far away. Keep your chin up and (((hugs))) and Happy Birthday - at least you can have a nice drink with a clear conscience

cricri · 26/02/2008 14:30

Mollie Thanks for the babydust - fingers crossed!
It's hard putting on a brave face at work - I work from home and have been so grateful these past few months not to have to see people when I didn't feel like it, especially people who didn't know what was going on. To be honest, many people are too focused on themselves to notice what is going on around them, we just imagine they're looking at us so hopefully they won't have noticed that you're upset. It's hard though.
Cece so sorry to hear about this latest set-back especially as April must seem like a long way off at the moment. Hopefully the hospital will be able to get to the bottom of things then. Happy birthday anyway - have a few glasses of wine tonight definitely.

MollieMooma · 26/02/2008 14:32

CeCe - put your favourite movie on, get the duvet on the sofa and pyjamas on, open a bottle of wine, eat the cake and you might feel a tiny tiny bit better.
Oh and I'll sing to you "Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to You, Happy birthday dear CeCe, Happy Birthday to You" Just be grateful that you couldn't actually hear that

cece · 26/02/2008 14:32

Thanks mistlethrush. I hoep your appt goes well. It is just so disappointing. I was expecting her to say yes go ahead and ttc...

In the meantime we have another appt with the consultant to discuss the tests and post mortem results from Hope. So guess it will allow me to concentrate on that...

cece · 26/02/2008 14:34

thanks too mollie and cricri - thread now moving fast again!

Off on school run...

Has anyone heard about ronshars scan?

TJuice · 26/02/2008 17:15

hey cece - happy birthday!!!
i know its difficult but i hope you manage to relax, get some headspace and enjoy yourself an incy-wincy bit.
birthday vibes from me and a virtual slice of raspberry-banana white chocolate layer cake.

kate2179 · 26/02/2008 18:58

Happy Birthday cece! Am very aware that whatever you're doing today it's not how you would have chosen to celebrate your birthday, or even how you thought it would be. You are often in my thoughts and I hope you can find some comfort in the fact that you now have a whole new year starting. Very hard while you are still waiting for test results but I hope very much that this will be your year {{{hugs}}}

Am pretty sure that Ronshar posted on knicker checkers yesterday to say that her scan went well, but I haven't checked it yet this evening. Am pretty certain that's right though... Will tell her you were asking after her if I 'see' her!

As for me... the saga continues! Had a little more red bleeding at about 3am on sunday morning, only know the time as I'd got up to go to the loo. Then brown wipes but (TOUCH WOOD) nothing since. Spoke to the EPU this morning and have arranged a scan for 9am Thursday. They really have been incredible this time round, am very impressed (apart from not being contactable at weekends of course...). I should be 10 weeks exactly on thursday (FINGERS CROSSED) and this will be my third scan . I seem to veer between being sure everything's ok and equally sure that it isn't. But I imagine that's a familiar feeling to most of you! Will let you know how I get on...

TJuice · 26/02/2008 20:27

everything crossed for you, kate. xxx

hackneybird · 27/02/2008 00:18

Happy birthday cece.

Good luck Kate, and hello to everyone else. xx

MollieMooma · 27/02/2008 08:47

Morning everyone,
Good luck Kate hope all goes well again, positive sticky thoughts to you hun.
Feeling much better today people, ready to face the world!

aquababe · 27/02/2008 10:49

Hey everyone been catching up but not had much time to type

My bleeding finally seems to be stopping.
Have been bleeding a small bit every day since mc end of nov/begin dec but despite having the all clear in a scan, whilst I was away at the weekend a small bit of something came out and things seem to have eased up(at least for the time being)

cece I should have been 30 weeks on Monday (1st MC) Had a good ole cry I'm gonna be rubbish if I get to May with out being pregnant
kate fingers very much crossed for you. It really probably is just a blood vessel.

MollieMooma · 27/02/2008 16:32

Aquababe - can't believe you've been bleeding all this time how p**sed off must you be? At least it looks as if there is light at the end of the tunnel if it's stopping now, then you can BD to your hearts content and try and get pg before May

bunnyinheadlights · 27/02/2008 19:56

hi everyone! had in laws over and was too busy to get near a computer - seems like it was quite quiet for a while anyway, but glad to see people are back on.

cece sorry to hear the no ttc news. very frustrating and what bad timing on your birthday! i hope you managed to have a good birthday anyway - - a new year ahead of you, new hope.

mollie it's hard to be strong at work. lots of preggie ladies around me complaining of their morning sickness and aches - they dont know how lucky they are!

aqua hopefully that was the last of it! wow that is a long time to be bleeding. my first mc was in nov and i was due in may too. i still find it hard to get over the first mc (was further along) and had a good old sob last night with dh.

kate good luck for scan tomorrow tho i know you dont need it

been feeling sooo tired, hungry and still nauseous since mc last mth..going for a lie down now...

Sorry CECE, happy birthday to you for yesterday. I thought I had posted on Monday. Obviously I hadnt.
There is only one bean, I saw the heartbeat straight away. I could make out most of the bits that matter. So all in all a bloody good morning for me. I am also feeling much better and now am 8+2.

I am really sorry for all of you here. I know exactly how you all feel and the misery of MC never leaves you. It hangs around like a bad smell but only you can smell it. Being pregnant only takes away a small amount of that pain. It certainly tests your nerves.
All I know is that without this thread and the beautiful ladies here I would never have got past my misery of last year. And I really dont think I would be in the positive frame of mind I am now.
I count my blessings everyday.

ClairePO · 27/02/2008 23:07

Cece I'm sorry about not ttc for a while wishing you belated birthday greetings though

Hi to everyone else, just catching up, saying hello to all the people I know and a sad welcome to those new to here, or even sadder if revisiting.

Not been around for a while, so not even sure who has graduated, wish those that have lots of luck and stickiness.

ClairePO · 27/02/2008 23:15

Just started to read back, got to aquababes post about being 30 weeks gone. Yesterday I got to work and checked my emails and there was a message about a lady who works in our audit dept and her pre-maternity leave presentation. Very difficult to bear as when I got back to work from losing our LO at 9 weeks it was her news I was greeted with, so I knew our due dates would have been close.

Then someone came up with her card for me to sign and while I was doing that she was chatting about what they would buy her. I held it together until she left my office, closed the door and just cried and cried. Because, me being me, I just had to ask the question I haven't for the last 6 months, and she's due a week before we would have been. It's just as well no-one needed me for half an hour or so and the partners in the offices either side were in a meeting. I need to get myself together, hopefully now she is away and gone it will be easier, just the dreaded birth announcement now.

cricri · 28/02/2008 08:23

Oh ClairePO, it's not easy is it? You think you're doing OK and then something like this slaps you in the face and brings it all back. (((hugs))) to you and hope you're feeling a bit better today.
Hope everybody else is OK too.

mistlethrush · 28/02/2008 09:04

Claire I can sympathise a lot. After 1st mc ended up having treatment for mp. On New Year's Eve, dh told me that really good friends of ours, who had started to ttc roughly around the same time, were expecting with edd May - ours had been March 31st. Dh wanted to tell me on NYE to get most of the crap out of the way in the previous year and hope that had more positive following year. Last treatment fell on edd which was also not great - just hammered it home, then not allowed to ttc for a year after that. Then when I got back to work, I had the same things with people complaining how awful they were feeling and how uncomfortable it was etc etc.

Just typing this has made me well up (which isn't good as I'm sitting at my desk at work!) - you never get over it, particularly a 1st when you've not got any dc, and even after dc, still a small black cloud.

MollieMooma · 28/02/2008 09:12

Claire - crap isn't it? But how good it feels to come on here and say whatever your feeling without being judged like Ronshar said in her lovely post, this site has been a real saviour for me, it has helped me so much.
Mistle - hope you've managed to repair your mascara hun
Hi to everyone else hope your all OK

ClairePO · 28/02/2008 09:52

Thanks Ladies, its very comforting to know that you can always get support here. Mistle, hope you're feeling OK now.
