charliesmum, nandos, beakas, sugr, cornflower, poppy, becky and everyone else who miscarried in may/june 2008....

We have all been very brave together and supported eachother. For those of us that are ready, it may be time to support eachother again as we return to TTC. Lets hold hands, remember our loss and give a nod to the future as we endeavour to procreate and............

SHAG!!

As promised, a thread to stay in touch. Will also see you on the MC avengers thread.

Oh becky!!!

I've decided that I am rubbish so I've climbed inside my wheelie bin and I'm gonna put the lid down. Do you want to get in? And we can be rubbish together? Be careful as you climb in cos there is a bit of rubbish stuck to the bottom.

I'm so stupid!!

Nandos put a pic on your profile of the test and I will give you an honest opinion.

My best friend has been TTC for 3 years with about 4 CPs and I am an expert at interpreting PG tests.

Evening ladies!

Finally managed to find myself a computer, thank goodness for that!

m2o, sorry to hear you've been feeling so down, I hope you're okay, and I really hope you get pregnant again soon. Life is so shitty sometimes, but there are rays of sunshine out there somewhere - I just hope one shines your way soon

nandos, oooohhh oooohhhh ooooohhhh re faint line - are you going to POAS again tomorrow morning? I will have my fingers and toes crossed all night for you!

Becky, sorry re AF . It's horrible when it finally arrives. I can't even think about Christmas either this year. Normally am v well prepared and know exactly where we'll be for it etc, but when I think of December my due date flashes in my head and I can't think about it any more...

As for me, hmmmmm. Am feeling like shit. The sickness started Friday and then kicked in a bit stronger yesterday - was walking through the airport gagging. Nice. Am trying to eat little and often, and keep reminding myself that this is good

Will check in again tomorrow x

ps haven't made it to Tesco's yet

BeckyBendyLegs · 21/07/2008 08:20

M2O I'll defo join you in the bin! I feel like I should be slung out like an old potato. Perhaps we'll be rescued though before the bin men come round...

MBM poor you. I know how difficult it is getting on with life while feeling sick all the time. But remember a week ago you were saying 'I don't feel sick enough!'

nandos · 21/07/2008 10:51

M2olivia- tried to take a pic but it wont come up right and tested this morning and it came up BFN
still no AF ... whats going on! i wish i knew
MBM, sorry to hear u feeling sick..well at least its a pregnancy sign
becky, lol..re rescued b4 the bin men comes

BeckyBendyLegs · 21/07/2008 12:09

I'm losing the plot. Just been to toddlers: two new babies (both adorable and sleepy), two huge bumps about to burst, everyone happy and cooing. Ahhhhhh!

BeckyBendyLegs · 22/07/2008 15:22

I'm losing the plot even more today: DS1 had his last day at preschool and as soon as we left I was in floods. It was so sad. Even sadder for me since he won't be going to the local primary with all his friends but a new one near our new house. Double ahhhhhh! Where are you all? Nandos did you take another test???

nandos · 22/07/2008 16:49

aww..becky
i just came back from seeing the GP..it was a last min appointment. told him that my period was missing and that i wasn't pregnant and went on saying it was a bit messed up maybe due to mc
so now hes booked for me an appointment with the specialist in 2 wks time cos' we been ttc for so long..am soo glad i went to the GP today
at last somebody is gonna see me!

btw i hope the consultation wont drag too long cos' i am going for vacation end of august so see my family..esp my mom who is constantly sick due to heart problems so the quicker the better..

monkeybumsmum · 22/07/2008 17:06

nandos, what dpo are you? Good news re appointment...

Becky and m2o, hope you both okay...

Excuse shortness of this post but am feeling rough... Seeing acupuncture lady tonight, so should be feeling better tomorrow.

nandos · 22/07/2008 17:15

MBM, i dont know wht DPO i am at right now but i might have ovulated late due to the CM changes.. now at a ridiculous CD 35!

Am currently at dh's office checking MN will be back home soon i hope..the computer light is hurting my eye a lot

BeckyBendyLegs · 22/07/2008 22:16

I'm having a bad day: having to see my little DS1 leave preschool (and knowing that he wouldn't be going to 'big school' here with all his friends) and then a close friend of mine rang up this evening to tell me that she's pregnant and said 'I wanted to tell you first in case you felt a bit funny' but I was sooo happy for her I didn't feel funny at all. She'd been TTC for 10 months so I was happy but having had such an emotional day already it just set me off again - not because of her being pregnant but because of me not being pregnant.

Sorry guys for the me, me, me post again. I just need to offload. DH is fed up of me going 'ooooh I'm soooo sad!'

mbm I hope the acupuncture helps you. Poor you feeling rough. It's hard going.

nandos it's awful isn't it waiting for AF when you know it's about to come. Good you've got an appointment though.

Right, off to bed now. I'm avoiding going because I know I'll start to cry again. I'm fed up of crying!!!!!

nandos · 23/07/2008 13:29

becky..pls think positive..i understand how you are feeling but we shouldnt feel so low otherwise we will be struggling ttc.
Its ok to vent your feelings and dont bother at 'me,me post', just write whatever u feel like saying..
i am now trying to make myself a bit busy and not think so much now abt ttc..BUT the witch still havent showed her face and its bugging me a lot.
MBM, poor you how are you feeling today? Is there anything that helped you overcome the MS in your previous pregnancy with DS?
M2olivia, hows your wrist doing? hope you are ok..

nandos · 24/07/2008 10:34

EEks! I finally got my period today i'll just take it that my cycle is now CD36 rather than CD31...
its just a relief.. i dont know why but good to know my period hasn't disappear to nowere

BeckyBendyLegs · 24/07/2008 17:15

Oh Nandos. I know what you mean. I guess our cycles just aren't back to normal yet. We've been at the swings all day today enjoying the sunshine. I feel in the holiday mood now, shame we're not actually going on holiday! I'll just have to put a nice sea picture on my desktop or something!

BeckyBendyLegs · 25/07/2008 12:07

Hooray! We're off to a wedding in Exemouth this weekend! Hooray! The sun is shining. It's hot. I'm happy!

nandos · 25/07/2008 21:03

Oh, have a nice trip to the wedding Becky..

mummy2olivia · 27/07/2008 09:21

OI you lot!!!!

Where are you? We are nearly off the list!!!

Well, despite the wrist I gave TTC my best shot this month. Am just waiting now.

3 weeks til my holiday!!!! Have been doing a bit of shopping for clothes and toiletries.

Had my hair done yesterday as well- some penis put blonde streaks in my hair (which I hated) so have gone back to my usual dark, gothic self!

How is everyone?

MBM- how is the sickness?

Nandos- how are you?

And Becky- how was the wedding?

Heard some really sad news yesterday- a girl i know that was also due in December is terminating her pregnancy today. A scan showed that the baby had very severe form of spina bifida. Am very very sad for her and am gonna be thinking of her all day. Never thought I'd say this, but I feel very lucky.

love to all xxxxxxxx

BeckyBendyLegs · 27/07/2008 21:33

Hi guys

The wedding was FANTASTIC, when we got there. We missed most of the actual wedding ceremony because that was an accident on the M5 and even though we stayed near Michael Woods services the night before to make sure we were going to be close enough to Exemouth so that we wouldn't get caught up in the caravan traffic, a journey that should have taken 1 3/4 hours from Michale Woods to Exemouth took 5 1/2 hours and we missed most of the churchy bit. We were gutted especially as DH was due to do a reading. But the rest of the wedding was fantastic and the weather was glorious and the bride looked stunning and the speeches made me cry. The reception was lovely, very small and intimate with a nine course meal and different wines for the courses! Oh My God! It was great though. All in all we drove 700 miles over three days as we had to take the DCs to my sister's and pick them up again today. So DH and I are well knackered tonight, too knackered for TTCing. We did manage one session at Michael Woods and I did say if I conceived we'd have to call the baby either Michael or Woddy. DH didn't like the idea of Woody.

BeckyBendyLegs · 27/07/2008 21:35

Forgot to mention also DH left my hat on the bed at home so he had to drop me off in Birmingham on the way to dropping off the DSs at my sister's so I could buy a new hat. You'd have thought that Birmingham would be full of hats. No way. I trapsed round and round and round and it took me ages to find another hat. As it turned out I was one of the only ones wearing a hat as most people had these fascinators or whatever they are called. I'm so out of touch!

monkeybumsmum · 28/07/2008 12:47

Becky, so glad you had a good time.

just a quicky so you don't think i've dropped of the face of the earth - have got hyperemesis, had to go to the hospital in uk coz can't keep anything down so am feeling awful. I will try and check in as often as poss but am just trying to get through this alive Urgh.

Hope you all okay x

BeckyBendyLegs · 28/07/2008 19:45

Oh mbm poor you. That's really hard for you. Keep smiling as much as you can...think of your little bean growing inside you - he or she is making you soooo sick!

BeckyBendyLegs · 30/07/2008 14:13

Where is everyone? Out in the sunshine or busy having lots of love action? I'm not either at the moment: DH is working late this week and not back until late when I'm too tired for anything more than Big Brother on Channel 4 and a cup of tea.

MBM I hope you are ok. Thinking of you.

I think I'm due to ovulate at the weekend so DH had better watch out.

Loving the sunshine here but DS2 is asleep so we're house bound until he wakes up.

Feeling a bit down at the moment. House move is imminent, had a 'goodbye' picnic with the DSs friends at the swings on Monday and it was lovely but so sad for me.

monkeybumsmum · 30/07/2008 18:41

Hi Becky, thinking of you too with the move coming up. Hope it goes okay. When exact;y is it?

I am feeling just awful. Can't keep anything down and getting weaker/more dehydrated by the day. Getting worried re bean too, this can't be good for it.

Hope you okay m2o and nandos?

BeckyBendyLegs · 30/07/2008 19:18

Oh poor you mbm. I'm sure your bean is ok and he or she must be growing nicely as you are feeling so awful. How many weeks are you now? I hope you are able to have some rest as you get through this stage. I wish I could help - I'd take a day of throwing up for you if I could so you could have a rest!

We're probs moving 27 August. Not sure what I feel about it all really. The PIL have just bought a house 15 minutes from our new house. The whole clan will be up there! I feel strange though as my friends are all here now. But ho hum change is good and I need to think positively.
