MC avengers, still eating cake, 2008 WILL BE OUR YEAR!

[ronshar]

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

She got me too mollie

I know how you feel about it all getting too emotional but you just can't help it.

When i got pregnant in Nov which ended in MC Jan, it was on the first month of ttc, i swear it's because i'd had a three year break from ttc ds2 so i was relaxed and hadn't started to get emotional.

Well lets hope the title of this thread is true to us all the sweet goodies certainly are...feel like i've put on a few pounds already!

welcome jassara sorry about your tough time at playgroup - being around pregnant ladies & newborns is always such a challenge.

mollie that you are feeling down. Maybe a months break is exactly what you need? I know what you mean about the shouting at the back of your mind though!! (Shouting while banging loudly on drums, more like it!)

mistlethrush good luck at the clinic!

I had my first reflexology appointment yesterday and I am converted - it was great. She was really good and pinpointed some very spcific health issues I have. For anyone else that has been to reflexology - did you find that you were really hungry afterwards? I don't normally have a large appetite but last night could not stop eating...very odd!

On that note...anyone for a yummy Neuhaus Champagne Truffle Chocolate? (Sometimes I love my Belgian collagues!!)

mollie you have to do what feels best and right for you. dont beat yourself up for feeling blue - when you are ttc, that's all that's on your mind on the 2ww and every twinge can be interpreted as something more - it's quite a mental exercise. be kind to yourself. x

notsonew reflexology sounds great! it's nice to have alternative therapy and have your thoughts about your health validated that the doctors and consultants wont even dream about talking about. after tons of scan and palpating, they still couldnt find the cause of my side pain, but my acupuncturist located it right away, said it was my bowel and surface muscles, and treated, and (touch wood) i have not had the pain since!

going on a work trip now till sunday , so wish you all a good weekend! (unless i manage to find access to the internet somehow...)

Mollie and jass sorry af got you . It is such an emotional roller coaster of waiting, hoping and disappointment. It takes it toll on you mentally at the best of times

Please join me in finishing off the uneaten easter eggs I've just discovered.

Thank you ladies for your lovely comments, I'm really struggling to keep it together and then you all go and make me cry again! Going away at the end of the month, so just going to relax and see what happens. We'll have been trying for 2 years in June, so may go back to GP, do you think they will shrug me off and say "Well at least you know you can conceive" and not do anything. Mind you if I go like I am at the moment they will lock me up!

Just throw anything sweet, calorific and highly fattening my way please ladies. AF got me on Wed and whilst I'm not TTC it's made me feel really wobble emotionally. So (((HUGS))) to all of you that are currently being visited by her. it's a bit of emotional rollercoaster isn't it?

NSN - am going to go for accupuncture and if money would permit then I'd def do reflexology as well.

Bunny - hope work trip OK. Nick all the smellies in the bathroom - always makes me feel better esp if they are Molton Brown ones [slightly guilty emotion] .

And is it my imagination or is flippin' Sarah beeny pg again ? Watched property ladder last night and am sure she's up the duff again.....

Mistle - good luck at the clinic. Hope you get some answers.

Hi to everyone else. Not sure what my offering will be today Ooooo, how about a big, sticky choc eclair with fresh cream oozing out of it? xxxx

Oh, and it was the new series of Property Ladder that aired last night. Am not going loopy. Honest .

And how much do you LOVE Gok Wan? That man could make Ken Livingstone look good naked

evening everyone!
thanks again for your wonderfulness during my wobble on Monday. feeling more normal again now, a bit sad still but I'm so not going to beat myself up for it. georgiegirl returning the hugs. af isn't great at the best of times let alone now, huh?... ok, so how about some chocolate and cream tart with fresh raspberries? Or a sticky toffee pudding with custard.. and vanilla ice cream. Or some coconut macaroon haagen daazs..

molliemooma I know how you feel. You will feel different soon, I promise. For now, look after yourself, do soothing things and check in here lots! and beat your GP with a bag of old socks if s/he won't help you.

MrsMattie did you have your scan yesterday? how did it go, lady? ... and mistle I've been looking out for you and news of your results at the rec mc unit today. Hope they've been able to tell you something useful

Notsonew I wanted to ask how you found your reflexologist. I'm tempted to give it a go, even if it doesn't 'work', I absolutely LOVe having my feet poked/pummelled/scratched/stroked so it might be an enjoyable experience?? If hunger is a common side effect tho, I might pass. Am eating so so so much at the moment, all my clothes are too tight

oh my goodness and Jackstini bloody hell fabulous news!!!!!!! yay for you and so much stickiness for your bean keep us posted please with news of sickness and the like...

hello jass welcome.. how is it going?

and hello everyone else, too. hope your evenings are relaxing. anyone want to inspire me with news of what they're eating tonight? Need to make dinner soon and feeling very food-boring..

georgiegirl - the repeat of property ladder is on More4 right now. I will be watching the Beeny's bump area closely and will report back! x

Hi everyone - mollie am yet to have AF but am not looking fwd to it. Lots of warm hugs and 'there there's'. Good luck at the docs, can't believe they'd think you were being OTT. Mistle hope you got good and useful news. napa thanks for decoding, I was lucky i suppose not to find out the hard way.

We're not officially ttc becasue we were advised to wait a cycle although there has been a bit of 'action' but am now sat in a hotel room in Switzerland convinced i am ovulating and no way of making the most of it sorry if tmi. Work trips are not fun sometimes - I wont see DS until Saturday

On the plus side I booked into a Movenpick hotel who are ofcourse also ICECREAM manufacturers and have just finished the most delicious vanilla and caramelita double whammy - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. And yes, i chose the H becasue of the icecream Banana split anyone??

just reread my post, I meant to say I won't see DS until Saturday either - no link to previous sentence (obviously)

Bunny, you left my favourite ice cream, cookies and cream
Welcome Jassara, I had to avoid dd2's playgroup after my 1st m/c last year, there was a lady there due same month as me and it would have been all too much.
Congrats Jackstini, wonderful news
Go Daisy, we'll be back ttc soon I hope as well.
Well, not great news but more of a relief for me, 2nd m/c finally started on Wed, hasn't been too heavy, just constant I guess, and no cramping and I managed to be at work Wed and Thurs and not too shouty at home
Had more blood taken yesterday so back to the gynae today to see those results and see what they suggest now. Hopefully just a scan next week sometime to make sure it's complete.
School holidays here this week, so dd1 is coming with me to my appt, she is 6 later this month and doesn't miss anything so will be having a coded conversation with the dr, should be interesting To leave her with her grandparents would be an extra's driving in the wrong direction from the hospital so can't be arsed doing that, basically dd2 can go to daycare at least, thank goodness, she is lovely but she is also 2, which should say it all

That should read 'extra hour's driving'.......
Forgot to also say, sorry you're feeling down Mollie, hopefully your break at the end of month will be relaxing for you.

girls you have to check out this incredible post from Twinklingfairy!!!

omg omg OMG!!!!
Was called back to the docs today. Was travelling south at the time and was about 70miles away (an hour and a half?).
About turn with the car cos was told that my hCG levels had Doubled!!
Scary news!

Went to the hospital again, with my full bladder for a scan.
The lady doing it said she wanted the consultant to have a look too and pos do an internal for a better look.
So I am lying there on the bed thing, dying for a wee, whilst the doc comes in, From Home!! Just five minutes they kept saying, he is walking in. OMG, Run man! I am going to explode!

So, in he comes wee scan over the tum and he sends me out to empty my bladder so that he can do the internal. He may have good news he says, Yeah like it is easily fixed and I won't need chemo, fab

In the thing goes and up on the screen comes.......................................................wait for it, it's good..............................................................................................A Heartbeat!!!!!!!!
Not only that but a baby!! I could see it's spine, its head and it's stubby little arms. And that heartbeat!? Wow!

OMG I am pregnant! 7+3weeks

WTF! I had a D&C!?
HTF did the little blighter survive?
But there it is, healthy and normal looking!

I am in shock and have no clue how I feel and what to feel.
Cross for the c@ck up, the anxiety, fear.
Elation, I am pregnant!
Fear again, I may still get very sick. Hyperemisis could still happen again.

omg omg OMG!!!

i saw this when she posted last night. think its fantastic news but shocked at the hosp!

I know, saw it on the other thread, isn't that amazing . I had read on other websites about some babies being hard to locate until at least 10wks, but to have a d&c and still be pregnant, wonder how it managed to hide itself away? Wonderful news though for TF

Twinkling? God what a shock. In a nice way, I mean. She is on my antenatal thread aswell. Back on it - ha ha - now that has got to be a turn up for the books

Scully, I missed your post. I am so sorry.
I have been totally self absorbed for the last couple of weeks, so my apologies to everyone.

Morning Ladies, OMG! what a story about Twinkling! What are the odds of that happening! its shocking but fantastic news!

scully - sorry to hear about your mc. Take it easy and look after yourself.

bunny you posted a week or so ago about your af dragging on for 9 days and still spotting. When did it finish? I'm still spotting on cd11 and getting very fed up with it!

mollie hope you are feeling a bit better today.

bunnyinheadlights Reflexology was great - I can't recommend it enough. I think that the increased appetite was because she did alot of work on my digestion 'areas' as I have definitely noticed that I am less bloated (And constipated (Sorry if TMI)) since then. I got really lucky and found her on the internet, she was one of the only practitioners I could find in my area. I am in West London if that is any use to you?

Scully I am sorry your mc started but am pleased that it is bringing you relief and the ability to move on.

quarkee I am of that hotel...any choc-chip icecream on your menu?

What an amazing story for Twinkling, exactly what we need to remind us that miracles happen and there is always hope. I can imagine the absolute emotional turmoil involved with the anger / elation / fear - I went through something similair...but seeing a heartbeat is just such good news. Wow, am going to on her behalf all day...

Hi ladies. Just popped in to offer you some Thornton's caramel shortbread, and what do I find? Tales of the Unexpected . What an amazing story! I've been trying to catch up with everyone else, but there's been so much going on, I don't have a hope.

I stayed off MN for a while just trying to process everything and deal with work (v. busy) and flat-buying, but I've missed the company!

This week has been really hard after Saturday spent with my cousin's family - she's due two days before I would have been, and they've all just found out. Slapped a big smile on my face every time someone said 'isn't it wonderful about M' and managed not to run to the loo and cry. She knows what happened but lives in China so wasn't there, and the others don't know that I was pg. Hopefully I will be again by Christmas, when she comes over, but either way I want it to be a happy time for everyone, not diluted by their worrying about me... I talk to her regularly and she's been great, so it's fine between us, except that we're both really sad not to be having our 'twins'.

Anyway, just waiting for AF now and looking forward to ttc again .

And yes, GG, I thought the same about Ms Beeny, but DH said it was my PG obssessed brain!

Amazing news from TF! Pretty about the hospital though.

I had an appointment at 3.20 yesterday - got in at 4.15... All blood tests but lupuus were OK, redone some for that (it was inconclusive), but the consultant said that, based on ds being a healthy, full term, large baby, it was very unlikely that those would show up positive. However, in unexplained mc, they normally have 2 options - asprin - well, consultant 2 days before said avoid that - and hormones - previous mp means that I can't have that, so nothing different that I can do. Although might end up with a joint allergy/mc appointment !

Daisy - have you bought the flat? What's it like?

I'm actually 2ww symptom spotting - which is very unusal for me. Last time, took looking up on mn when last af came just to be sure!

Being decended upon by 10 3 yo on Sunday which will be interesting. Wish me luck!!!

Didn't get a chance to read all of this, but GG OMG, I think you're right. At one point I was watching the Beeny and thought Man, she's been pregnant for three seasons now! There must be lots of overlap in when they filmed some of them. Or maybe she's trying for a girl...?

And RE: Gok, I don't want him to make Ken Livingstone look good naked, I want him to replace Ken as mayor! He just seems like such a wonderful person. I know I don't know him or anythign about him other than what you see on the show, but I don't know, I just love him. DH and I sit there watching and I actually say "I want to be friends with Gok"

Oh, and such an amazing story from TF And although one might be pissed off at the hospital for screwing up the first time with the diagnosis, she's got to be thrilled that they screwed up a second time and missed the LO with the botched D&C!
