MC Avengers - Chocolate cake anyone?

[mistlethrush]

I've started a new thread as the old one was full - hope everyone finds their way here OK.

i think thats what i was grateful for. I didn't have to wait ages for anything. the erpc was scheduled when I wanted and needed to fit in with DD's nursery. I had a friend from work in recovery with me as soon as I came out of theatre and they let me go home after 2 hours! My manager obviously knows what happened and with annual leave I ended up having 5 weeks off work which I needed.

Thanks for replying and putting things into perspective, was just feeling a bit wobbly when I got home from work but your right, some people have long waits for scans, doctors and treatment and I avoided that. Feeling much better today - less sorry for myself!

spink - congratulations! That's brilliant news. Hang out here with us for a bit longer and spread the baby dust .

PrePG - are you still feeling weird? Fingers crossed for you .

I'm feeling much more relaxed after the weekend and acupuncture yesterday. Exchanged on our flat yesterday and finally have completion date for 22 May. Yay! Glad we've decided to wait till the move is done - don't think I could focus on both at once without going INSANE...

Hi daisyj! Congratulations on the movement on your flat! That's such a great feeling! You'll have a new home in no time!

I still feel weird, but weird in a different way! LOL! I'm 6dpo today - spotting stopped thank goodness - I've got sore breasts which are more sensitive in the evening and yesterday I was feeling kind of queasy - but that could've been my lunch! Not reading into it all (yeah right!) and now you've got me listing my 'symptoms'

napa I didn't realize you were a midwife. I'm so sorry for you. Sounds like it doesn't ever get any easier, even if it's something you work with all the time.

daisyj congrats on your moving news and glad you liked the accupuncture, sounds just the thing to chill out during all the boring legal stuff for your flat

prepg fingers crossed for you, keep us up to date with your symptoms!

Congrats daisyj and good luck prepg - I am not holding out much hope this month as we 'missed' the window due to work, illness and life getting in the way can't believe how impatient I am!!!

prepg - I know I'm an idiot but if you're 6 dpo when does that make you due on? AF due late next week? Is that how it works?

Well done Napa on coping with being back at work, must be especially hard when you work around babies and pregnant people. But at least knowing the staff and how the system works would have helped at the time
How's your dd Aqua, sounds like quite a fall Sorry about af as well, that's crap timing isn't it.
Know what you mean about wanting to get on with it Dungungirl, I have to wait another 3wks until we have the all clear from gynae and after rubella vacination last week. Just hope that fertile period after m/c that I have read about hasn't passed by then
How are you doing this week Kate?

I think I'll have to stop ttc for a bit - at least until dh has a new job. Had a talk last night and he's not cooperating because of general knackerdness and fed up at work, not sure we can afford a 2nd, and not wanting to put me to the risk of mp again - in some ways I think that it has affected him worse than me (the mp) - I just had the treatment as, without it I'd have been dead - he saw the effect it had on me...

So a bit at the moment, that ds might not get to show what a fantastic big brother he could be...

mistle I'm sorry It's so hard to know how these things affect men and I think sometimes it hits them harder than we think. Maybe a few months freedom is a good thing? I know it must not feel like that at all {{{hugs}}}

Rip I have a 10-11 day LP so I usually get my period about 10-11 days after I O. Expecting mine on Monday.

mistlethrush sorry you are feeling down - I guess that our DH / DP's experience of our mc or mp are so different to our own. As you said - we are forced to work through the physical implications while our partners watch helplessly. Also - it has been said before on this thread that sometimes being sad & seeming to falling apart is our way of coping and moving on, whereas the partners see that falling apart and worry about it happening again. I know that a break seems like a tough choice, but it might help to give your DH the space he needs?

napa I can't imagine how tough it must be to work around babies & pregnant women while recovering from your mc, I struggle and there is only one other pregnant lady in our office! I hope it continues to get easier for you.

Daisyj congratulations on the flat! Hope you are having fun planning the details of your new home...

prePG fingers crossed for you. Are you going to be restrained and wait until AF is officially late before testing?

Me? Anything but restrained? I'm actually not sure what I'll do. (ducks as she says..)..I've never actually had a negative test (we had beginners luck on our first try) and I'm not sure how I'll react if I do - I mean I don't think I'm likely to burst into inconsolable hysterics (am I??) but it will be such a disappointment I don't know if I'd deal with it well on a Monday morning. I've always been wary of testing on a weekday, so I might just do it on the Sunday. When AF approaches, I usually have a day or two of spotting anyway, so I think I won't even need to test, I'll know that she's coming.

Mistlethrush Sorry your feeling down. Have a break from ttc and maybe he will come round.

napa I take my hat off to you! Working as a midwife and going through a mc must be really hard. I work with animals so didn't have the added stress of seeing lots of pregnant women when I mc'd.

PrePG Good luck for Sunday if you decide to test then. Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks Dustin will try to hold out if I can

I just remembered something that had me laughing this morning and I just had to share. As I got off my usual train at St Pancras - it was slightly delayed getting in - they announced that the late-running train had arrived and then said "Southeast Trains would like to apologise for the delays this morning. They were caused by congestion, which was caused by earlier delays." It took a second to realize that she was saying that the delays were caused by...well, um...delays - ?! Only on the London transport system!

ah, the joys of public transport - rather you than me.
hope everyone is ok today.
I have been waiting in at home all day for an appliance delivery (new fridge) and they were supposed to deliver between 10 and 2, (customer services promise) still not here yet and getting very cross. I haven't done food shopping cos I was waiting for them and wanted to wash my hair as friends are coming round tonight. Was worried to even venture into the garden in case I missed them knocking at the door. ahhhhhh

Good to hear life is carrying on apace - I too travel into London (Paddington) and the excuses are pretty good sometimes. i like it when you get an honest announcer who says 'we havent a clue what's holding us up' normally happens around Reading I find...read a quote from Jo Wiley (DJ) this afternoon on the train ' I am a baby machine...' 42 and pg again - part of me encouraged (I am 38) and part wants to deck her one...oh dear

Good luck Prepg Mistle its v hard I know, I waited a LONG time for DH to be ready (and you know how impatient I can get) to have DS but in the long run its got to be the right thing to have both of you agreeing and feeling its right - chin up and have one of my haribo....

Prepg - we can be testing buddies. I'm due on Monday too...

Can you use a normal test on Sunday or does it have to be an early one??

quarkee - I didn't know that about Jo Wiley. Good for her...

Hello to everyone else. Hope you're enjoying the sun.

Good luck to those testing soon, hold out as long as you can
Sorry to hear you are down Mistle, but I agree with Quarkee, it makes sense for you to both be in a good place, for when a baby does arrive. Hard to accept that logic sometimes though. Hope things work themselves out soon.
42 pregnant, here I am stressing about having no.3 at 38 instead of 37 But that's just me being anal about things not falling into place like they normally have
I remember the delays with SouthWest trains into Waterloo, don't miss any of that one bit. I now have a 10min commute in my car, lovely

Quarkee - whereabouts are you going from - grew up in South Oxfordshire, so know Paddington line well....

Gloucestershire - oh the fun...

Q - so is that a daily commute? How I am glad that I moved north - my commute takes about 40 mins including dropping ds off at nursery and dropping dh off at work and have a parking space at work

I feel rubbish this morning. Had a night out last night so decided to test before I went out (despite af not being due till Monday) I told myself I was testing so I would know if I could drink.....

Of course it was BFN.

Kick me please, I'm a twit.

Hope you're all well....

Afternoon all,

Been away all week with work. My due date was yesterday so it worked out well - the plan was to be so busy at work that I wouldn't have time to think about it. It worked fine apart from at the end of the day when I was given a bunch of yellow roses - nearly lost it - as they were the flowers we had at Hope's funeral. But it was OK and now that hurdle is over with.

As for Jo Wiley - I think she said it was a surprise prgnancy too... If I am not pg this month then I will be 42 by the time a give birth...

Not holding out much luck for this month as I think I ov this week while away. Had positve OV test stick thing on the Monday and I went away Tuesday morning. DTD on the Monday evening though so ....

Mistle I do it a couple of times a week so not too bad really.

Rip it may have been a BFN because you tested so early...hold on in there...I'm out tonight and am sure I am not pg so its wine for me most definately.

Morning ladies. A quick one to (hopefully) make you chuckle. I was just catcing up with the thread while eating my breakfast. Read cece's message "DTD on Monday evening" followed straight away by Quarkee's "I do it a couple of times a week so not too bad really" to which I thought, 'oh. You probably should be doing it a bit more than that if you want to get pg...' Doh!
Quarkee I think a couple of times a week is plenty, as far as I know there hasn't been any research to suggest that getting the train to Paddington can help you conceive!

Certainly not with the quality of commuter you get these days!!! LOL
